Aid I'm COlonist Movement.

So seriously are the trans-continent-
al railroads taxed to accommodate
the colonist travel that 1t has been
necessary to draft into service every
available coach along the o. r. & N,
the o. S. L., and the Union Pacific
lines, says the La Grande Observer.
Today deadhead train of IL coaches
and baggage cars was taken east The
distribution will commence at Hunt
ington and continue until the entire
train has been distributed where most
needed. In the train were five bag
gage cars and six coaches. They
were assembled at Portland.
d The spring-time rates are proving
more satisfactory than at first antici-
pated The officials believe the traf-
fic would be heavy. but nothing like
that which existed last fall Accord
ing to every indication the spring col
onist rates will bring as many people
to Oregon as the fall cut rates did.

EASTERN CAPITALISTS
MAKE PROMISES

Started.

whitman college has been prom
ised $500, 900 by New York and chi
cago capitalists, according to ex-Gov-
ernor Miles C. Moore, says the wal
la Walla Bulletin. The college. which
was founded by pioneer residents OF
the Walla Walla valley, can have this
amount providing $5OO,OOO can be
raised on the Pacific coast, and an
active campaign will be commenced
in the near future to raise this amount
In Washington, oregon and Idaho.
1--WE have positive assurances or
great financial support, amounting TO
at least $1,50O,OO0, for Whitman col
lege, which will make 1t the model
college of the North Pacific coast, II
we can raise 100000 in the Pacific
northwest" said Mr.. Moore. THE
whole matter has been considered by
the Whitman college board and l
have every reason for believing that
the enterprise will be successful.
There are several men in the north
west who have been kindly treated by
Dame Fortune in the past few years
who will undoubtedly do their best
to help raise the funds required here.
"If all our plans bear fruit, Whit
man college. which is now a non-sec-
tartan institution, will be to the Pa
cific northwest and the state of
Washington what Leland Stanford
university is to California and what
Yale is to the east"
1t is we'll known that certain Chi
cago men of vast wealth have liber-
ally endowed Whitman college in the
past. but it is also stated that the
sources from which the money has
come in the east are willing to sub
cribe $1,5OO,OOO for Whitman provid-
ing liberal spirit is shown by men
OF means in the Pacific northwest.
While the sum mentioned, 100000.
is expected to be subscribed by citi-
zens of Oregon, Washington and Ida
no. no definite amount has been
agreed upon.

While refusing to give out infor-
nation as to the direct result OF the
conference between n. p. and o. r. &
n. railroad officials and farmers in
this city Saturday for the purpose OF
securing Production of thS freight

1t was rumOred today on the streets
that the rate had been reduced one
fourth, or that the one-fourth reduc-
ton had been agreed upon. This rate
will have to meet the concurrence of
other railroads Interested before it
can be made. If the present So cent
rate is reduced one-fourth it will be
SO cents.
District Freight and Passenger

the meeting today, said: 1--WE are
well satisfied with the outcome and
the meeting was a very pleasant one"

tives of the farmers, said today that
the meeting was satisfactory to the
farmers, and the rate would be an
nounced in a few days, was what the
farmers wanted.
When asked if the SO cent rate had
been agreed upon he said, 81 will not

JOHN WYNNE ON TRIAL.
PendIe<on COloring Given TO Port
land Murder Case.


The Oregon Daily Journal says OF
the trial of John Wynne for the kill
ing of Will DuPuis in Portland
This. afternoon the defense began
the introduction of evidence by which
1t hopes to have John Wynne acquit-
ted of the charge of numbering W. II.
DuPuis in the saloon of Martin Den
ny. on Fourth street on the night or
December II. Phe state this morn
ing closed it's case with the testimony
of Lester Hicks of Pendleton, who
told of a clash between the defend
ant and the dead man six or seven
years ago, and of Drs. William Zeig-
Ter and Chester C. Moore, who gave
evidence regarding the death Of Du-
Puts.
The defense succeeded in shutting
out the testimony of Joseph A. Du-
Puts. a brother of the deceased, be-
cause he had remained in the court
room during the most of the trial. At
the outset the court made an order
excluding all witnesses. and the pros
ecution did not have DuPuis retire
from the room, as it was not expect
ed that his testimony would be
needed. This makes the second state
witness that has been blocked by OBJ
lection of the defense. John A. Nc
Leary was kept off the stand Satur-
day because his name had been writ
ten "a. McLaren" on the information.
Lester Hicks said that he, "Bill'
DuPuis, as the victim of Wynne's re-
volyer was known to his inmates, and
several others when they were boys
were known as "the sewer gang in
Pendleton. He said they were only
kids" at that time and they applied
this descriptive name to themselves.
1t was Just a name he said, and
meant nothing in particular. He said
that this gang" was no longer in ex-
istence at the time Of the occurrence
between Wynne and DuPuis. Wynne
was conducting a saloon in Pendleton
at that time, and the witness, DuPuis
and others would occasionally visit
the place On one of these visits,
said the witness, Wynne threatened
to get some Of this gang.
Defense Shows Hand.
Hicks was closely s-examined
and admitted that he had been sever
al times convicted in the recorders
court in Pendleton on charges OF
fighting. and drunkenness. He said
Wynne had always treated him civ
lily.
Testimony for the defense will be
directed toward showing that Wynne
had a good reputation for quietude up
to the time that he believed himself
in danger of his life when he fired
the fatal shots, although witnesses for
te state have testified that Denny had
thrown the men apart and was stand
ing almost between them when
Wynne began to shoot.

PERMANENT EXHIBIT OF MANUFACTURERS
WORK BEGINS ON INSTALLING FEATURES IN THE STATE FAIR BUILDINGS, WHICH CAN BE SEEN AT ANY TIME.

The manufacturers of the Birming-, ham district have finally discovered that the Alabama state fair grounds are the center of the Birmingham, Ems ley and Bessemer section. Here Is where the line from Birmingham branches off toward Bessemer and Ems ley, and the junction where every sight seer has to change cars to reach either of the other two places.
 Hundreds of people go every month to Bessemer and Ensley to witness the rolling mills, and steel furnaces. The visitors, and many of them take the oc- casion of examining Vulcan and the fla nous fair grounds. They always ask for other exhibits of the districts pro- ducts.
 The idea of establishing a complete permanent exhibit of the manufactures of the county has been taken up by the Manufacturers association and will be pushed to a rapid conclusion. The clay industries have already taken up the matter, while the steel and iron com panies are busily making arrangements. The Tennessee company has alrady de- cided to make it's exhibit, while work has begun on that of the Southern make a permanent exhibit which will be ready at all times for the investiga- tion of those interested in Birmingham.
