WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY
PROVES FINANCIAL FAILURE
lspecial to The sentinel.l }

Denver. April 23.-According to a
suit filed in the district court here
against the Westminster University
it would seem that the attempt made
by the friends of that institution last
year to place it on paying basis had
failed. The Westminster University
is the Presbyterian college that
stands just west of the city and that
was started several years ago. 1t
has never been a successful institu-
tion but about a year ago a new eff
fort was made to rejuvenate it and
put it on a paying basis. Today
several suits were started against the
institution which would indicate that
last years efforts failed.

BIG WHEAT CROP LIKELY
FOR CROOK COUNTY

Prineville Ore, March 9.-With the
present harvesting of almost 1000
600 bushels of grain annually, the
farmers of Crook county do not seem
to fear over production, regardless OF
our lack of transportation facilities
and are preparing to harvest the
greatest crop in the autumn of the
present year that the county has We
seen.
Although the output last fall was
smaller than that of the previous one,
there was almost 100000 bushels of
wheat alone harvested here, which
added to the holdover of two thirds
as much, held the market at a low
figure for time, but at present the
local market stands at so cents and
may go considerably higher before
another crop is harvested.
These combined conditions should
make the wheat crop alone almost
100000 bushels in the county and
two-thirds as much of other kinds of
grain
Weather conditions are ideal, the
heavy snowfall left the ground in
capital condition for farming, and the
fall grains were protected from the
extreme cold by the blanket of snow
Considerable spring grain is being
sown now and the farmers are all
jubilant.

RAILROAD THEFTS
To Be PROBED
RAILROAD ATTORNEY AND
DETECTIVE ARE COMING
Confessions Said to Habe Been Made
BY Some of the Railroad Employees
and Prominent People Implicated
District Attorney Phelps Thinks
Matter Overstated.

Additional interest in the hearing
two of the men who are charged with
stealing articles from the o. r. & n
freight depot is leant from the an
nouncement from Portland that both
o. r. & n. Attorney Spencer and O.
r. an. Detective Wood leave there
today for this city. Both men are
credited with saying that several ar
rests have been or are to be made
in connection with the thefts. The
hearing is set for tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock before Justice of the
Peace Parkes.
The intuition from Portland that
somewhat of a sensation is to be
sprug tomorrow comes as sur
prise to District Attorney Phelps who
had been lead to believe that the rail-
road officials cared more to ascertain
the facts in the case than to institute
a wholesale list of prosecutions with
doubtful outcome, The intimation
from Portland was to the effect that
city officials and prominent business
men, as well as railroad employees, are
to be hailed into court and charged
with crime.
District Attorney Phelps stated to-
day that there was absolutely no ev!-
dence, sufficient to warrant an arrest
or prosecution, against any city Off
cial OF prominent business man and
that while it is possible that the ar
rival of the O. II. & n. attorney and
detective tomorrow morning may be
followed by additional arrests, they
will probably be confined to employees
Of the railroad company 1t seems
that in his lengthy written confession,
Dickens has detailed his stealings
and told how and where
each of the stolen articles was dis
posed of. If the railroad men have
changed their minds and are now de-
terminad upon making a clean sweep,
the entire confession will probably be
read and those who have been so un-
fortunate as to have come into pos
session of stolen property, will be
called upon to prove that at the time
they made the purchases they had
no reason to suspect that the goods
were stolen.

DUEL To DEATH
NEAR PORTLAND
BODIES OF TWO MEN
FOUND AT COLUMBIA SLOUGH
A Rifle and An Ak Near. Point to a
Probable Fight to Death Between
John Dale and Oscar Hiett at the
Smith Ranch on the Columbia
Slough.

News of double tragedy, either q
duel to death between two men ol
probably a double murder, was tele.
phoned to the Portland police this
afternoon from Columbia slough, says
special dispatch from the Portland
Daily Journal the message announc-
ing that the corpse of John Dale,
watchman at the Pittock G. Leadbet-
ter ranch, and that of a laborer
known in the neighborhood only as
Oscar Hiett, had been found in the
brush on the Smith ranch. Between
them was an AK and a rifle.
Coroner Norden, accompanied by
several officers, has gone to the
scene of the tragedy to make an in
vestigation.
The bodies were discovered by Mrs.
Hiett while she was searching for her
husband, who had left his home to
pack his belongings at the Smith place
on Columbia slough According to
Mrs. Hiett her husband and Dale left
her home yesterday together, Dale
having called for Hiett. This morn
ing when the two had not returned
Mrs. Hiett started out to hunt for
them, accompanied by her brother.
They were rowed across the slough
by c. V. Bergen, in charge of the
Smith place, and Bergen had just left
them to row back when the woman's
cries called him to the bank. Mrs.
Hiett said there weer two bodies near
an old cabin on the bank of the
slough.
Bergen hurried back and went with
Mrs. Hiett and the boy to the spot
where the men lay with the gun and
ak between them. Mrs. Hiett identi-
fled one of the men as her husband
Bergen did not allow Mrs. Hiett to
touch either body, however, and after
assuring himself that both were dead
he took Mrs Hiett and the boy back
to their home and notified the coro-
ner and sheriff.

HILL STEAMERS TOAD NORTH BANK ROAD

Portland, Ore, March 9.-Hill rep
rosentatives are at San Francisco ar
ranging for line of steel steam
schooners to ply between Portland and
the bay city in conjunction with the
North Bank road. This Information
was given out here on good authority
and 1t was also stated that Hill rep
resentatives have been making pre-
liminary arrangements here.
The steamboat line will be oper-
ated entirely Independent of Hill own
ershlp, but under such traffic arrane-
ments as to make 1t practically the
same combination as that now exist
ing between the Hartman rail and
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-09

water lines although Hartman owns
the vessels plying in the coastwise
trade in conjunction with his trans
continental lines
There are several exceptionally
suitable steel steam schooners of large
capacity to be had at San Francisco
and with three or four of them regu-
larly in service they will give the
North Bank road a great deal of
tonnage both ways.
In view of the fact that these pre-
liminary arrangements are now under
way, 1t is believed quite possible that
the new steamboat line in direct COM
petition with the Hartman interests,
will be started within fey weeks.

HOT LOCAL FIGHT AGAINST FULTON BEGINS

From local appearances the fight
for and against the appointment of
Charles w. Fulton, to the federal
judgeship, about to be created in Or
egon, is now on in earnest. Petitions
for Fulton's endorsement are being
circulated today by ]. F. Robinson
and f. w. McComes and from the
fact that they are allowing no grass
to grow under their feet, is is believ-
ed that the Pendleton friends of the
erstwhile senator are somewhat an
xious as to the outcome.
1t seems that with the announce
ment that Fulton was slated for the
job, both President Taft and the Or
egon delegation 10 congress, were
flooded with protests from every Sec

ton of the state. Baker county and

ticularly active in voicing their dis
approval of Fulton's selection.
With the arrival of these protests

friends were Immediately notified to
get busy and come to the rescue
without delay. This they have done
and the list of petitioners from
