Plans for the annual school enum-

work will begin about April /. The
lschool board has a large number Of

Last year the city made slight

a general decrease in the townships

ments made by the state officials
less money is returned to Wayne
county for educational purposes than
Is turned into the state treasury On
the other hand, Allen county is poor
IN money and rich in children and
it receives from the state more money
than it pays in. Several counties are
tn the same condition as Allen but
Wayne loses more money than any
county in the state. because Of the
small number of persons within the

For this reason the enumerators
will be instructed to attend TO their
work with especial care. Every child

the county. 1t is probable that as here
tofore the enumerators will prepare
a list Of the vacant houses in the city
and a complete census of the entire
population.

DRAG OUT SKELETONS,
Alleged IIIegitImote Heirs Of Alfonso
Making Trouble.

Madrid, Feb. 1.-THE question o1
alloting a pension of 25O,0OO pesetas
to the Infanta Alfonso, the son OF
Don Carlos of Bourbon and the Prin-
cess of Asturias, who recently mar
ried Princess Louise of Orleans in
England, has received the approval
of the Council of State and now goes
before the COrtes. But it has raised
many complications, not the least in
teresting of which are suits for sim
liar allowances brought by the ma
tural children of Alfonso XII by
Elena SAM, former well-known
Spanish actress, and a natural cous-
in OF the king named Carlos Allen
Perkins, a second-rate but popular
actor in the music halls of the cap
ital.
Perkins claim goes back to his
at-grandmother, the famous In
fanta Carlotta, who provoked the
Carlist war by obliging Ferdinand
VII to admit the principle of the
Salic law. 1t was she who slapped
the face of Calomarde, the Premier,
and drew from him the historic re-
tort:
White hands are not offensive"

name is Don Francisco Carlos Pho

OREGON GIVEN PROMINENCE
Joint Passenger Tariff Mentions 200
Points In State.

Oregon receives considerable prom.
inence in the joint tariff issued by the
Union Pacific giving the one way col.
onist rates to the Pacific coast from
Union Pacific territory. The tariff has
just been issued and makes the rates
effective March to April 80, inclu-
sive. The tariff sets forth the rates in
detail as they have been announced al
ready in the newspapers. The low COL
onist rate is good to any station in Ore
gon and about 200 points in this state
are mentioned individually in the
tariff. The rate is $50 from Council
Bluffs, Omaha, St. Joseph, Leaven
worth or Kansas City to all main and
branch line points on o. R. & N. east
of Portland, including points north of
Umatilla and Pendleton, via Granger,
Ogden and Huntington, via Denver.
Granger or Ogden and Huntington, or
via Denver, Grand Junction, Ogden and
Huntington.
The same rate obtains to Portland
and all mai2 and branch line points
on the Southern Pacific south thereof
to and including Ashland, as well as
all points on the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad, via Granger or Ogden
and Huntington, via Denver, Granger
or Ogden and Huntington, via Grand
Junction, Ogden and Huntington and
via Denver and Billings.

Franco Excites Curiosity.

Bordeaux France, Feb, IL Sun
day passed with Senor Franco, She
eX-Premier of Portugal, still in Bor-
deaux and still in seclusion. His
privacy has remained unbroken;
since his arrival Friday he has not
emerged from the hotel where he is
stopping, not even, from his room.
The former dictator has become a
problem which the people are dis
cussing with curious, wondering,
even sympathetic interest, but no one
has been enlightened as to the hour
OF his departure, or his destination,
for it is certain that he is not to re-
main here long.

LIABLE TO FINES OF $50, 900, 900
Clear Case Against s. p Paid Re.
bates for Years.

San Francisco, Feb. 1l.-Penalties
unprecedented in the history of the
prosecution OF corporations in Cali
fornia, or a complete revision and
lvitalizing Of the laws applicable &c
railroads, will be the outcome of the
investigation to be instituted this
week by the State Railroad Commits
sion, in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce, in the Merchants EX-
change building.
Assistant Acknowledgement Ray
mond Benjamin said today that 1000
cases of rebating have been perfected
against the Southern Pacific Com
pany, practically through its own ad-
missions. These cases will be pre-
sented to the Railroad Commission
by Attorney-General U. S. Webb, MI
Benjamin and 0. X. Cushing, special
counsel for the California Traffic AS
sociation. Should convictions be OBJ
tanned on each of these cases, and
the Maximum penalty of $4,000 be
imposed for each violation of the
law, the Southern Pacific will face
an aggregate fine of $S0,00O,O0O.
In each case the evidence practi-
cally is conclusive, from bills of lad
ing 10 the indorsed checks issued by
the company to the shipper, in reim-
bursement. When the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners requested
the Southern Pacific to submit it's
books to Mr.. Benjamin, Peter F.
Dunno, counsel for the railroad, re-
piled that the railroads books would
be available at any time. The COM
placency with which the railroad COR
poration greets the investigation
foreordains that it will not fight the
action of the Railroad Commission
on merits but rather upon the law
involved.
Section 222 of the state legislation
which creates the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners, with their
power to fix rates, provides:
Amy railroad corporation or |
company which shall !
all to conform to such rates as shall |
De established by such commission |
shall be fined not exceed |
ng 100000 for each offense. g"
In 1000 cases the railroad COM
'any failed to conform to the rate
ct by the Commissioners. The prac-
ice is of long standing, but the only
ecords available are those subse-
uent to May, 1906. In some of these
ebates the railroad refunded SO per
ent of the original charge to the
hipper.

WANT CHEAPER GRAIN SACKS
Growers at Athena Working Through
Association.

Athena-C. A.. Barrett, president Of
the Inland Graingrowers' association,
says that the principal object of the Or
ganization at present is to reduce the
price of sacks. The association declares
that the prices the dealers ask for sacks
are unreasonable. They say that they
made good, substantial saving last
year by means of the association, and
that they will be able to make far
greater saving this year. Mr.. Barrett
estimates that the farmers of this
county will be able this year TO save
$4,000. The Inland Graingrowers'
association is corporation and buys
its own sacks direct thus making a
great deal better bargain than the
dealer can make.
Another purpose of the association is
to force the O. R. & N. and Northern
Pacific railway companies to arrange to
shift cars from one line to the other
without removing the goods from one
car to another. Another object the
association has in view is to reduce
freight rates on large grain shipments.

REFORM POSTAL. SERVICE.
Commission Recommends Changes IL,
interest Of Economy.

! Washington, Feb. SIN a prelim-
mary report of the postal commission
authorized during the last congress, the
main re recommendation will be to the
effect that the ohiceof the fourth assist
ant postmaster general shall be done,
away with and that an executive officer
appointed by the president for a long
term be installed as the active head of
the department, who shall act under
the direction of the postmaster general
and hold the same relation that su-
perintendent of railroad holds to
railroad president and directorate.
The examiners found that politics too
often interfered with the systematic
running of the depa rtment and that the
heads were seldom installed for anv
length of time before being retired or
placed elsewhere.
Under present conditions it is neces-
sary for mail bag lock broken on an
Alaskan route to be transported the en-
tire distance to the Mississippi valley
before it can be mended. To do away
with this and other impracticabe meth
ods, the commission proposes the for
nation of divisions with full power to
administer Office within their boundar-
les. Said boundaries shall not neces-
sarily follow state lines.
OF the $4,000 postoffices run by the
government it is thought that fully 3d.
900 can be operated in such a manner
az to become non. accounting offices and
DO away with the too frequent issuance

SWIFT PACKING co. COMING
Ready to Begin Work on So. 500, 900
Plant at Once

Portland, Feb, 10.-In the first
land only authorized statement which
has been given out either here OF
anywhere else regarding, his com
lpany's plans in the Pacific Northwest
Louis F. Swift, president of Swift &
ICo., last night declared that the
mammoth Portland plant, which will
represent an outlay of $3,500,000
and which will be erected on the Pc
1ninsula, will be completed and ready
for operation in all departments in
one year. Portland is also to be made
the center of the packing industry Of
the Pacific Northwest, and the Trout
dale plant, near Portland, eventually
is to be abandoned, at least so far as
the packing side of the business is
concerned. To what use, if any, the
Swift people are to put their present
extensive and valuable property at
that point was not vouchsafed.
The Swift people are ready and
prepared to go ahead with construc-
tion work just as soon as the rail-
roads have indicated what connec-
tions on the Peninsula they will es-
tablish, and when they will be ready
to do the work. When these connec-
tions with necessary terminal facili-
ties have been decided upon, work on
the packing plant will be rushed to
completion.
In the official interview, H. C.
Gardner, head of the construction de-
partment of Swift & Company, who
will have direct charge of erecting
the plant, acted as spokesman for
President Swift, and entered into as
full discussion of the plans of the
Swifts as the head of the big con- |
Germ deemed wise to give out for
at this time.
Mr.. Gardner, in explaining why
the public could not be taken fully
into the condolences of his concern
at this time, said that certain plans,
such as whether the company should
secure power from some of the COM
panies already in the field here, or
erect its own plant on the Peninsula,
are yet to be settled, and that there
were number of other considera-
ions which, if disclosed now, might (
interfere with their consummation. f.
1t was also clearly brought out ,
hat If Portland ever intends to wrest ,
he bulk of the Alaska trade from ,
he Sound cities, the merchants and :
shippers here will have to establish :,
| direct steamer line from here to
he North. This was brought out in
lnswer to the direct question as to
whether Swift & Company intended '
o enter that field, now monopolized q
" various Seattle and Tacoma pack g

ess and packing business alone.

Condon-The latest estimate of tht
amount ofgrain already shipped ant
that remaining to be shipped from Con
don is 100000 bushels. According
to this showing, Condor is the largest
primary grain shipping point in the
United States and, as far as can be
learned, in the entire world. The
point which has heretofore claimed the
honor of being the largest primary
grain shipping point in the world is
Ritzville, Wash, it's supremacy being
claimd on the basis of shipping 1885,
900 bushels.
From figures obtained from the best
authorities on the subject l,1OO, 900
bushels of wheat and barley have al
ready been received by the warehouses
and mill here. And to this must be
added the large amount that is yet scat
tered over the country waiting to be
hauled to town before spring. 1t is
safe to say that there remains in Con-
dons territory 100000 bushels yet to
be brought in, making grand total of
1900, 900 bushels to be shipped from
Condor alone.
No less remarkable is the estimated
output of grain in every section of Gil

must also be taken into consideration
that many thousands of bushels of grain
along the borders of the coun-
ty are shipped from nearby railroad
points in the adjoining counties. The
total of the number of bushels shipped
from these points added to the amounts
shipped from different stations in Gil
lam county places the enormous out
