CHOOSING A NEW DUMA.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-All pre-
liminafy stops having been taken, the
prOvin cial electoral college will meet
tomorrow to cho9se the parliamentary
representatives for the third Russian
Duma, which is ITO meet in November
Tholgh the fate of Russia's expert

the result undoubtedly would be that

conservative classes in Russa. The
uneducated peasantry, whose repre-

there is no chance that the coming

TO KEEP UNIVERSITY OPEN.
Efforts Pcine Made to Support U. Of
0. by Private Funds.


The question of raising funds for
carrying on the work of the Univer-
sity OF oregon until after the election
of June next is being considered at
meeting of the board of regents this
afternoon in the offices of Dolph,
Mallory, Simon & Gearin in Portland.
Since the decision of the supreme
court given recently to the effect that
the petitions invoking the referendum
on the appropriation granted by the
last legislature were valid the appro-
priations have been held up and no
money is available for the conduct OF
the institution. 1t will be impossible
to secure any aid from the state un-
til after the election in June. This
fact puts the institution in a straight
ened position since the enrolment Is
greatly on the increase and 1t will
take a large sum to keep the univer-
sitp running until the appropriation
becomes available.
AS yet the regents ave not devised
any definite plan by which the funds
for the maintenance of the college
can be raised. The feasibility of max
ing an appeal to the members of the
alumni association has been advocat-
ed, asking them to advance sufficient
money by subscriptions or loans to
keep the institution open. It is ar
gued that these sumo could be re-
turned after the appropriation be-
came available.

At criminal session of circuit
court this morning NJ. L. Taft was
sentenced to six months in the peni-
tentiary, while w. B. Atkinson was
consigned to serve two years in that
institution.
Taft, it will be remembered, was
arrested several weeks ago on
charge of adultery. On being ar
raigned a few days ago he pleaded
guilty and time for sentence was fixed
for today. The woman in the case
has been held here since the arrest
of Taft, but no criminal charge hasa
ever been made against her. The two
were arrested at the instance Of the
woman's husband, from whom she
had never secured a divorce.
Atkinson, now under a two-year
sentence, formerly worked as a print
er at Freewater, and acknowledged
having passed bogus check upon his
employer. In passing sentence this
morning Judge Bean said that should
the prisoners conduct at the peniten-
tiary be creditable he would Join in a
petition for pardon at the end of a
years time.
In the circuit court today the time
this afternoon has been devoted to a
continuance of the hearing in the
Harrah water suit from the north
end of the county.
The Swayze-Means election con-
troversy from Hermiston is set to
come mp following the water suit,
and several of the parties interested
have been here today.

Good Prospects for Delivery.

In view of the heavy movement of
wheat from the upper Columbia river
basin, the Open River Transportation
company has decided to increase its
facilities as soon as possible. To
start with large barge will be placed
on the upper river between Arlington
and Cello. upon which the farmers
may load their wheat for transport
tation to the portage road, whence
1t is hurried down the line to Big
Eddy and placed on board the Teal
for Portland.
Exporters were fearful all spring
lest the car situation should prove SO
serious this fall that It would be i'm
possible to ship even II Europe want
ed the wheat badly, and for that rea-
on they held off chartering until very
recently, when light began to appear
ahead and prospects of delivering the
goods became fairly certain.

Harry Says Morrow County Booms.

e. Y. Harry, formerly president of
the Oregon Federation of Labor. but
now representing the Pacific Realty
company of Portland, arrived in the
city last evening from Morrow coun-
ty, where he has been listing lands
to be advertised in the eastern states,
in hopes of reaching the actual
homeseeker, the people who are look
ing toward Oregon for cheap lands,
places to locate and future homes.
1t is the intention of the company
represented by Mr.. Harry to list all
the farming lands possible in Oregon,
and he will spend several days in
umatilla county on this mission, and
then to advertise these farms in
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ok
lahoma and other eastern sections
where there are thousands of peo-
pie ready to come west. In this way
1t Is hoped to get into actual touch
with the people who are coming west.
and to place these people in actual
touch with land which is for sale in
Oregon.
1t is one of the most practical colo
nizing schemes yet advanced and will
be pushed vigorously by the COM
pany.
E. T. Wade has been selected to
list Umatilla county farms for this
company.
Morrow County Booming.
Mr.. Harry has Just travelled over a
large part of the farming section of
Morrow county and speaks enthusi-
astically of the crops there.
1T seems impossible to believe that
the immense wheat crop now being
harvested in Morrow county can be
hauled out this fall. All over that
section are immense crops vet un-
harvested. The yield is excellent
and on land which was formerly
considered unfit for wheat growing
are found heavy crops of wheat and
barley.
There is large section in Nor
row county yet to be brought into
cultivation and that county, like Una
tilly, offers homes for thousands of
people. When once this fact is made |
known to the actual homeseekers I'm
the eastern states. 1t will not be diff
cult to locate them on this cheap. vet

END OF CATTLE BUYING TRUST.
Carstcn Brothers and Union Meat
COMPANY .T'aIl Out.-

For the first time in 10 years the
agreement alleged to exist between
Carstens Brothers of Seattle, and the
Union Meat company of Portland. has
been broken, says the Oregon Daily
Journal.
The Seattle firm invaded the terri
tory monopolized by the Portland
company last week and bought up all
the cattle OF Crook county at higher
prices than were offered by the Cnion
Meat company. Growers i'm Crook and
Grant counties are rejoicing over the
invasion and look for prolonged war
between the companies which will re-
suit in prosperous times for the CEN
tral Oregon cattlemen.
Will Wurzweiler. merchant OF
Prineville, stated at the Imperial hotel
today that the Seattle company bought
$500 head of cattle in Crook county
last week, paying from $3.50 to $3.50
for steers.
"This means" said Mr.. wurzweiler,
that the agreement between these
companies whereby Carstens Bros.
bought only in the Yakima country
and the Union Meat company in Ore
gon without either firm invading each
others territory, is broken. The pur-
chase OF the cattle in Crook county
last week by the Seattle firm also
means the growers will have a COM
petitive market in which to sell their
stock and they will get better prices.
"In fact. prices are way UP now.
Lambs sold at s3,25, wethers at $3,
while I know of one man who was
offered s5.25 for yearling ewes and
refused because he could get better
price.
Carstens Bros. not only bought cat
tie in Crook county, but went over in
to Grant county, which shows that
they no longer consider the oregon
country as belonging solely to the
Union Meat company. II this condi-
tion keeps up growers in central Ore
gon will get far better prices in fu-
ture."
Superintendent Goode OF the Union
Meat company, states that there is alb
solutely no truth in the assertion that
there has been or Is combination
