That the Boys and Girls Aid So
ciety and the Babys Home OF Port
land will be more beneficial to the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Nelson of this city than the precari-
Gus and migratory careers of their
parents, will probably be the decis-
ion of the county court Of Umatilla
county tomorrow morning when the
application OF the Boys and Girls Aid
society for the children will be made.
Mrs. Nelson, who has been In The
Dalles for some time. was sent back
to this city by the county court OF
Wasco county, last evening. since it
was claimed that she was a citizen
OF this cunty and the commissioners
there had no right to commit the
children to the society which had ap-
piled for them.
A son years old, and a little
daughter of months constitute the
family of the Nelson's and applica-
ton has been made by j. Teutscher,
jr.. on behalf of the Boys and Girls
Aid society OF the state to have the
children taken from the parents, who
are said to be unable and practically
unwilling to provide for them prop
erly.
The matter will be up for hearing
in the county court at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning, when Attorney j.
H. Lawrey will appear for Mrs. Nell
son. who is resisting the attempt to
take her children from her.
The Nelson woman, after leaving
her husband here, went to The Dalles
and became a county charge, but be-
ing citizen of this county recently,
was sent back here upon application
being made for the children by the
aid society.
They have lived in this city for
several years and the attempt of the
aid society to secure the children Is
fully justified by the history of the
family in Pendleton.

Otto Berger, the well known brick
mason of this city, has just returned
from Cascade Locks where he has
been working at his trade during the
past summer. He has just finished
the construction of 10 fire places in
an elegant residence built this sea-
son by G. R. Thompson of the Wind
River Lumber company. The resi-
dence contains 80 rooms and cost
about 100000, occupying a beautiful
site overlooking the Columbia river.
The Wind River Lumber company is
already starting in to rebuild their
immense plant, which was destroyed
by fire there during the past sum-
mer. The new plant will be larger
and more modern than the old and
will be one of the best in the north
west,

TRAIN STRUCK HANDCAR.

Load of Greeks, Groceries and Booze
Scattered Over o. r. & N. Right
OF Way.
The Portland-P local on
the o. r. & NJ, struck a handcar
load of Greeks who had with them a
large supply of groceries and liquor,
near the home of Antoine De Latour,
two miles west of the city, last even
ing. and the way the Greeks climbed
over fences, and out of the way was
not in keeping with the slow speed
they make when working for the
same company.
Flour, sugar and coffee was scat
tered over the right of way for some
distance and the engine of the pas
senger train was yet white with flour
when 1t reached this city an hour
late.
The Greeks were going west to
their camps along the o. r. & N.
after having obtained large supply
of provisions in the city and met the
train on a sharp curve. The young
sons of Mr.. De Latour, who were
working in an orchard near the track
signaled the engine crew, who did not
see the approaching handcar, and
prevented what might have been a
more disastrous accident.
None of the Greeks were injured,
but their load of provisions was
total loss, as was also the handcar.

ENROLMENT REACHES 400.
University OF Oregon Enjoys Phe-
nomenal Patronage.

University of Oregon, Oct. 1.-THE
registration Of the University of Ore
gon in the departments at Eugene
exclusive of the school OF music, has
practically reached the 400 mark
total enrolment in all departments
at the present time is between 75O
and 500.
At the beginning Of President
Campbells administration in 1902
the attendance was 224. The pres
enut freshman class numbers almost
as many students as the total enroll
ment at that time.
If the present rate Of growth con-
tinues, it is expected the number of
students next year will reach 600 in
the departments at Eugene exclusive
OF music. The university offers no
high school subjects, the require
ments for entrance being the compile
tion of the four year high school
course.

COAL FIND AT BAKER CITY.
Coal That Will Burn Found i'm Baker
County-New Fuel Burns Well

That the part Of eastern Oregon
tributary to Baker City may yet be-
come important for its coal produc-
ton seems altogether probable, says
Baker City dispatch, for, following
close upon the coal discovery near
Sumpter, a coal strike of some i'm
portance has been made on Goose
creek, % miles east of Baker City.
The strike was made on some land
owned by Isidore Fuchs of Baker
City, and is right on the line of the
proposed Eagle Valley railroad. About
five feet of coal has been uncovered
in open cuts, and even the fuel found
so near the surface burns well. Mr..
Fuchs will develop his property as
quickly as possible.

OCEAN RATS TO SAN DIEGO.
Millions of Feet of Timber by Sea to
the Southern Port.


Ocean log rafting from the Column
bia river has ended its first season
successfully with a record of three
RATS towed to San Diego without loss
or accident, says the Oregon Daily
Journal.
The Benson Lumber company has
carried approximately 12,00O,OOO feet
of logs by this method from its works
at Clatskanie to San Diego, Cal, 1900
miles. II is estimated that this
amount of logs will be sufficient to
keep the San Diego mill running un-
til next July.
The Benson Lumber company VIII
continue to operate its Clatskanie
camp. bringing out about 50,O00,OOO
feet OF logs year, the surplus being
sold in the local market. Mr. Ben
sons ocean rafting experiment, In
which he risked an investment Of
more than $250,O00, has proved to he
successful even beyond the visions OF
the pioneer Captain Robertson, who
attempted ocean log rafting from
Stella some years ago.
The industry of ocean log rafting
is already attracting the attention OF
congress, and 1t has been proposed to
regulate the process by which the
RATS may traverse the highways OF
the sea. Congress will probably con-
slider a bill at the next session to
place the industry under Jurisdiction
Of the department of commerce and
labor. Strenuous objection to ocean
log rafting is being made, and most
Of the opposition is said to come from
railroad circles. The transportation
of a raft containing 100000 feet of
logs from the Columbia river to
southern California by water cuts the
Southern Pacific railroad out Of that
much lumber tonnage, for the log Is
worked up in the San Diego mill and
the lumber distributed from that
point to the consumer.
