SUMNER SCHOOL SUCCESS.
Session at University of Oregon
Comes to Close.


Comes to Close.
University of Oregon, Eugene-The
fifth annual session of the University
of Oregon summer school, has just
closed, and was the most successful OF
any yet held at Eugene. The enroll
ment reached practically 100 students.
The students also were more represen-
tative, coming from nearly all parts OF
the state and including in addition to
regular and prospective university
students, many high school and upper
grade principals and teachers. A series
of daily lectures by Superintendent
Alderman, Stockton, Yoder and Cooper
proved an attractive feature.
Plans for the next summer session
are already being adopted and it is ex-
pected that the enrolment at that time
will easily reach 200 students. "A
number of new courses, including
chemistry, English composition and
music are to be given. All OF the IN
structors and lecturers of the past ses-
sion will be here aagin and in addition
to these the university hopes to secure
Professor Murray, of Columbia univer'
sity; Professor Bagley, author of the
tests on methods, and Superintendent
Trover of Monmouth.
Both the mems and women's dorml'
tories are to be thrown open to summer
schol students and board and room will
be given at the lowest possible cost.

HILL BACKS ROAD.
Construction of Oregon Trunk Up the
Deschutes to Be Rushed.

Constructor OF oregon 'VuHN Sp t"o
Deschutes to Be Rushed.
Portland, Aug. 17.-Uncertainty as
to the actual force behind the Oregon
Trunk was removed when John F..
Stevens made the announcement that
he had acquired controlling interest
in the project, which, in its execution,
is to be financed by J. j. Hill, person
ally. The acquisition of this property
by Mr.. Stevens and his associates and
the identification of Mr.. Hill with it
are of major Importance to the railroad
situation in this state. 1t is regarded
as the initial step by Hill in his in
vasion of Central Oregon and the
eventual building of railroad to San
Francisco. Subsequent developments
resulting from Hills invasion of Ore
gon are expected materially to alter
the railroad map of the state.
"On being asked several days ago II
I had any interest in the Oregon Trunk
or if represented any railroads that
were interested, I said no, and the
latter statement still holds good" said
Mr.. Stevens.
"Since then, however, l have &C
quired controlling interest in the
project, have all necessary financial ar
rangements completed, and the road
will be built as fast as it can be reas-
onably done with men and money.
The matter is a personal one, and |
have no objection to saying that j. j.
Hill, as an individual, is financially in
terestd to any extent necessary to car
ry the road through to successful COM
pletion.
"Plans in detail are not fully devel'
oped, but will become apparent from
time to time, as conditions may seen
to require. 1t may be said, however
that the Oregon Trunk proposes to
provide as quickly as practicable
northern outlet for Central Oregon, re-
gardless of the designs of any other
transportation company"
Having made this announcement
Mr.. Stevens refused to bulge an inch

HOLD UP BANK.
Oregon Boys Secure S $1,000 But Are
Soon Captured.


San Francisco, Aug. 1.-two Ore
gon youths, neither one much over l8
years of age, walked into the Valley
bank of Santa Clara shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday morning, and lining
up the three clerks at the muzzles of
revolvers, pushed one of the men for
ward and told him to place 81, 600 in a
bag and give it to them"
"And be quick about it, toc," said
one of the hold-ups, "and if it is shy
I'll blow the top of your head Off"
While the clerk was obeying the
youths, the others had good chance
to study their faces, as neither of the
amateurish desperadoes was masked.
Cashier Birge placed the required sum
in sack and gave it to the two invad-
ers, who at once left the bank, went a
half block, and jumped into wait
ing automobile. There one of the men
placed a revolver at the chaffeur's
head and commanded him to "let her
out for all she's worth" The chsffeur
complied and the heavy car disappeared
in cloud of dust.
Some miles out of town, however, the
machine broke down or the driver dis
abled it and the robbers took to the
fields. Their direction was ascertained
and shortly afterwards they were over
taken by Sheriff Langford and Deputy
Sheriff F. Lowell on the banks of
Moody creek.
Sheriff Langford made every effort
to discover the identity of the prison
ers, but beyond saying they were from
Oregon they would tell nothing of their

Denver, Aug. 17.-Every subject
that in any way can be connected with
the commercial, industrial and agricul-
tural growth of the West, from the

convention of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial congress.
Between 5000 and 1000 delegates
are expected. The congress began its
sessions yesterday, although the real
work will not be taken up until today.
One of the features of the congress
probably will be the renewal of the

terror Ballinger and Chief Forester
Pinchot, begun publicly at Spokane
last week. These two men and 800
delegates from the National Irrigation
congress at Spokane are expected to-
day.
Among the multitude of subjects tc
be discussed are railroads and trans
portation; commercial problems, closer
relations with southern republics, with
special reference to the Panama canal
national defense, with special refer
ence to the Pacific coast and Hawaii,
which will send delegates; conserva
tion of national resources, irrigation
and reclamation; good roads; beet anc
cane sugar industry; reform of the
consular service; drainage OF sub
merped lands. and separate statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico.
Among the accredited delegates will
be five women, two from Denver, two
from Arizona and one from Texas
The government will take advantage
of the congress to give illustrated lee
lures every night explaining what Fed
eral authorities are doing in the way
of public works, including the Panama
canal,
