MoYER AND HAYWOOD "oUrp
Officials of Western Federation Not OLE
Best OF Terms.

The Boise Capital News says:
A report which has been circulated
with considerable persistency and
which has been renewed with con-
siderable force in view of the events
of the last few days, is to the effect
that the relations between Charles H.
Meyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, and William d.
Haywood, secretary-treasurer of that
organization, are considerably strain
ed.
In this connection attention is call
ed to the fact that Meyer has refus-
ed to accompany the Haywood party
to Denver Haywood and the party
that will accompany him will leave
Boise at 2:30 tomorrow morning, but
Meyer, wife and sister-in-law, will
remain here for the present.
1t is also known that Meyer does
not approve of the public reception
and jollicifation that has been PLAN
ned to take place at Denver next
Sunday. 1t is explained in this con-
nection, however, that his objection to
that jollification is based on the fact
that he is still under indictment and
that Pettibone is not only indicted
but is also in Jail here awaiting trial,
and that it would be Inappropriate for
him to participate in any jollification
at Denver or elsewhere on Sunday or
at any other time, until the cases
against him and Pettibone are finally
decided.

AFFECTS NORMAL FUNDS.
Money for New Buildings Cannot Be
Used for Repairs.

SStu iOT hcpdhS'
Salem, Aug. 2.-An opinion has Just
been given from the office of the at
torney general to the normal school
board of regents to the effect that
money voted by the legislature for
repairs could not be legally used for
the construction Of new buildings of
any kind.
An addition is required at the nor
NAL school at Ashland and 1t was also
contemplated to build a residence for
the president of the normal school at
Weston. AS no funds were available
for that particular purpose, it was
suggested that portion of the money
voted at the last session of the legis-
lature be used for this.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Attorney General Crawford
by c. L. Starr, secretary Of the board
of commissioners for normal schools.
who asked for an opinion on the le-
gality of the proposed.
The attorney general, after consult
ing with several jurists of the supreme
court, decided that this would be a
violation of the law as to was in
tended for an entirely different pur-
pose.

| ShiSd6o, AuB' S'-DSlOlt
day perhaps the largest fine record
ed in judicial history may be as
sessed by Federal Judge K. NJ. Lam
| dis against the Standard Oil COM
| pany, in the cases in which the COM
pany was recently convicted of using
illegal railroad rates. Judge lands
has fixed tomorrow as the day upon
which he will pass sentence on the
company.
When, under the indictment secur-
ed year ago, the Standard OIL COM
| pany of Indiana was found guilty of
| violating the anti-rebate law, the fix
ing of the fine for that offense de-
volved on Judge Lands, and as he
had a free hand in assessing any fine
between $1,000 and $4,000 on each
of the 1862 counts in the indictment,
he was confronted with a rather diff
ficult proposition: He did not know
how much punishment the company
could stand, and this is the reason
why he summoned John D. Rookie
feller and others prominently con-
nected with Standard Oil affairs, so
as to learn some of the financial Sc
crets of the company which its coun-
sci were either unable or unwilling
to tell. The judge found that Mr..
Rockefeller knew very little about the
affairs of the company of which he
is president, and that little he was
not sure of. He divulged, however
that the capital of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey is about
100000" and that its annual
dividends new are about 40 per
cent"
No hint has leaked out as to the
possible extent of the fine to be i'm
posed tomorrow. The maximum fine
for the number of counts in the in
dictment is something over $4,000
600, and there are today predictions
from persons connected with the
prosecution that this maximum fine
will be assessed. The only excuse
which a judge may feel called on to
offer in imposing less than the maxi
mum in criminal cases such as this
is bona fide reason for clemency.
On the other hand, such huge fine
as s29,0O0,00O, if imposed on a COM
pany with capital of only S100, 0,000,-
Henry Shaefer this morning for
would give the company ground on
which to make an appeal.
That in any event there will be an
appeal from the fine assessed by
Judge Lands is certain. and a final
decision may be delayed for several
years. In the meantime many other
indictments against the company for
violations of the Elkins' law will be
pushed TO trial. Some of these, in the
northern district of Illinois, are al
most as voluminous as the one on
which the recent trial was based.
Practically the same kind Of evidence
figures in all the cases.

VIII Build Wing Wall.


The plans and specifications for
the levee Improvements provide for
the building OF a bulwark that should
fully insure the city against damage
from any flood the Umatilla may
ever carry. The following is a sum-
mary OF the work to be done in ac-
cordance with the ordinance passed
yesterday, the language being from
the ordinance itself:
at the upper end of the levee a
wing wall Of riprap with concrete toe
wall on bedrock, shall be put in from
the head of the mill race, extending
down the river about 100 feet and
the riprap and toe wall carried
around on a circle at the lower end
to the back of the levee.
wherever the levee is below the
grade shown on the profile the en-
bankment shall be carried up to the
grade the full width, and the riprap
carried up to the top of the bank.
From station 10 to the o. r. & N.
company's embankment trench
shall be excavated along the outer
toe of the levee to a depth of not less
than six feet and large blocks of stone
put in along the toe of the levee and
the old riprap removed and replaced.
From station 2s to station &C
trench shall be excavated along the
outer toe of the levee and a concrete
toe wall put in on bedrock. New
riprap shall be put in from the toe
wall to the foot OF the present riprap,
and as much of the old riprap remov-
ed and replaced as may be ordered by
the lcvee committee of the common
council.
"At the Main street bridge a con-
crete toe wall shall be put in to con-
meet the old wall with the new con-
crete work now being done just above
the bridge, and the old riprap on
both sides of the bridge replaced with
new riprap laid with cement mortar
on steep slope.
Extension OF 600 Feet.
"The levee shall be extended at the
lower end about 500 feet beyond the
work completed last year. The loca-
ton of this part of the levee will be
changed to run from the present levee
over to the upper end of the island,
which will necessitate taking up the
riprap on the present levee for a
distance OF about 15O feet, filling in
on the outside of the embankment,
and relaying the riprap.
"If bedrock can be found along the
outer toe Of this part of the levee at
a depth of not to exceed 10 feet, a
trench shall be excavated to bedrock

Must Provide Site.

But in order to secure the armory
the people of the city or county must
provide the building site. Under the
law the county court has authority to
appropriate money for the erection Of
armories. or for the purchasing of
building sites for the same.
Should the armory bill be upheld
the county commissioners here will be
asked to make the purchase of a site,
and it is hoped by the guardsmen that
they will see their way fit to take
the step. Among business men and
officials who have thus far expressed
themselves, there is unanimous sem
timent that the county, or the county
and city together should purchase the
site, thus saving the necessity of rails
ing subscription for the purpose. In
favor of this idea is the argument that
both city and county will benefit by
having the building, and that therefore
IT would be only just for one or the
other or both to pay for the site out
of public funds.
