BUSINESS UNIVERSITY DOES BIG
BUSINESS.
Best Training School in Northern Iowa.
Prof. Eklund has Almost Decided tt
Guarantee Positions.

The writer has watched the pro.
gress of the different business
schools in this part of the country
and knows whereof he speaks when
he says that Oelwein has the proud
distinction of owning the most pop
ular Business Training school in
Northeastern Iowa.
The Oelwein Business University,
when it came under its present man
agement, opened with twenty-one
students. At the present time "a
students are in daily attendance and
enough more scholarships have been
sold to bring the total enrolment to
$50. This means that fully 200 will
be enrolled before the end of the
year.
This wonderful growth has been
brought about, not alone through
good advertising but because Elk
lupd finds positions for his graduates
and more than that they are we'll
prepared to hold them. He sent
eight students to positions in one
week last spring.
Last summer he spent almost
800 advertising for bookkeepers
and stenographers because his grad
yates we're all working.
This last month eighteen calls
we're received that were not filled.
Last week Mr.. Dedrick Ellefson,
one of the students, was sent to a
bank at Steen, MINI; Miss Bell to
the Litchfeld Mfg. Co., Waterloo;
Miss Jaquette to the Highland
Mobiles, Waterloo; and Miss Doug

WORK ON NEW PEN IS
 TO START THIS YEAR

The Tucson Citizen of Saturday con. tained the following item relating to the old and the proposed new territorial prison:
 "Captain Rynning stated this after. noon that the prison at Yuma was at the present time in an overcrowded con. dition, as far as cell room is concerned There are now between 300 and 350 prisoners in the pen, and after the com. ing term of court Rynning stated that the number would reach considerably over 400.
 "When asked regarding the new pen itentiary that the last legislature pro vided should be built in Florence; Ryn- ming stated that work would undoubt. edly be started this year. The new penitentiary will be much larger and in every way superior to the present one at Yuma, and according to Rynning it is badly needed It will also be much more convenient to the various peace of. ficers throughout the territory as it is geographically more centrally located.

John Joe Williams, whose occupa-

According to the testimony brought

around the city about five weeks. He
was in the habit of drinking and is
known to have complained much
about a pain in his side and other
Illness He was rooming at the Idle
Hour with Frank Williams, a waiter,
but who was not related to the dead
man. According to the room mates
story the deceased had a position Of
fered him and was to have gone to

NORMAL SCHOOL MEETING.
Steps Taken by Commercial Associa-
ton to Prevent School Leaving
Umatilla County.

Steps were taken by Pendleton
Commercial association at a meeting
held Saturday evening. to prevent the
removal of the Weston normal school
away from Umatilla county, which
might possibly result from the Miller
bill introduced into the senate last
week.
Representative C. A. Barrett and
Senator w. g. Cole were present at
the meeting and discussed the situa-
ton thoroughly. 1t was decided that
the association should watch the pro-
gress of the normal school legislation
closely and II the Miller bill, which
proposes to remove the normal from
Weston to Pendleton, should pass the
senate a committee of business men
will then be sent to Salem to assist
the Umatilla county representatives
in passing the bill in the house.
The Miller bill provides that II
Pendleton is not named as the location
for the Weston normal, then that
school shall be moved to either Baker
City or La Grande.

Attorney C. T. Goodwin Of Milton,
has Just completed the draft Of dyk-
ing law which will be presented to the
legislature some time during this
week.
The law provides for the organiza-
ton of dyking districts where streams
are subject to overflow and property
is endangered by high water, as Is the
case In the Walla Walla river district.
The method of procedure is for the
county court, on petition Of the citi-
zens to employ a competent engineer
and make estimates of the cost, draw
up specifications and authorize the
organization of the dyking district'if 1t
is found upon investigation that prop
erty is really endangered by high wa
ter.
The districts are to be organized
upon the principle Of the road dis
tricts which may be organized under
the Oregon law. The property in the
proposed district is taxed to pay 60
per cent of the cost Of construction
and must bear all the cost OF mainte-
nance. The county must pay 20 per
cent of the cost Of construction Of the
dyke and the state 20 per cent The
county court is authorized to issue
warrants for the cost Of the construc-
ton, and must assess tax against the
property in the district for its share
Of the cost.
The need of dyking law by which
property may be legally and adequate
ly protected from destruction by floods
Is apparent to every one who is IA
miliar with the Walla Walla and Tum.
alum river district. About 1000 acre:
in that district is subject to floods
and by the recurrence of destructive
floods the value of property would bt
greatly reduced within the district IT
a few years.
The towns of Milton and Freewatei
also need the protection as we'll as
number of costly county bridges ant
considerable county road which J!
damaged by high water every year.
The people of the Milton and Free
water districts are heartily in favor o.
such a law and believe that they arr
entitled to a measure Of protection
from the destructive floods which
have visited that section during th'
past few years.
Unless a system Of dyking is adopt
ed 1t is said the channels of the Walli
Walla and Tumalum rivers will b.
completely changed and a larg
amount OF valuable land will be rem
dered unfit for use. Owing to tn
large amount of silr which is washe'
down from the mountains each yea
the channels Of the streams are filllnl
up and it is impossible to confln
them in their banks without som
adequate system Of dykes.
The total area OF the dyking dis
trict at Milton and Freewater will b

stitutes 1t had been proposed to re-
commit the bill to the committee on
education and labor, which would
have ended It for this congress. But
under the rules of the senate the pre-
siding officer was compelled to hold
that such a motion could not be en-
tertained, being in violation Of the
unanimous consent agreement, which
had fixed upon January 10 as the date
for voting upon the bill and amend
ments.
There again, Mr.. La Toilette proved
that he was not a novice In legisla-
tion, but a seasoned parliamentarian.
His long service in the house of rep
resentatives taught him the tricks Of
congress.
Is Prodigious Worker.
Senator La Toilette is prodigious
worker. He takes little or no part In
the society life of Washington. His
family remained in Wisconsin this
winter and he took lodgings with a
friend in the suburbs. where he could
be free to pursue his work uninter-
ruptedly. He is growing daily in the
esteem of his colleagues and there are
evidences that the people Of the states
are looking approvingly upon his work
here.
La Toilette is said to be very popu-
lar in Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska
on account of his identity with the
railroad rate legislation for which the
president and the interstate commerce
commission have been 80 long con-
tending. There has been considera-
BILE discussion and some criticism by
senators who resented Senator La Fol-
lette's Chautauqua speeches of thu
numerous amendments he proposed tc
the rate bill. But 1t Is fact tha
every amendment he proposed hat
the unqualified Endorsement Of the in
terstate commerce commission ant
some Of them had been repeated!
recommended to congress in the re-
ports of the interstate commerc'
commission.

WANT NEW LEGISLATION.
Fraternal Insurance Societies Protest
Against Regulation"


That the present laws OF Oregon
concerning fraternal insurance are
satisfactory to the various insurance
orders, is shown by a circular letter
which has been sent out to all lodges
and Comps of the various orders in
the state.
Pendleton orders have received
copies Of this circular letter with in
structions to urge the legislative DEL
egation from Umatilla to oppose any
legislation on the fraternal insurance
subject A copy Of the circular sent
out is as follows
To all Oregon Camps: Esteemed
Neighbors:-A bill is prepared, and
will no doubt be presented to the
present session Of the legislature, os-
tensibly, for the purpose Of "regulat-
ing fratcrnal insurance societies"
take this method of advising you
that both the National Fraternal
Cong-eS" and the Associated Fra
ternities of America" which comprise
practically every insurance society in
the United States, are opposed to any
legislation at this time, in any way
affecting the fraternal insurance So
cieties. for the following reasons:
First, the societies composing botf
these great national bodies are pure.
ly representative in character, and are
fully capable OF framing laws fol
their government, without the inter.
ference of any set of legislators
many of whom are not members o.
these societies, and not familiar with
their needs.
Second. during the coming year
