SPRING ATHLETICS
GETTING UNDER WAY
Track and Diamond Are Cleaned OFF
and the Collegians Are Turning
Out for Practice.

The baseball diamond and the track
at Whitman college have been put in
first class condition during the past
week, and the bleachers that formerly
stood in the center of Ankeny field
have been removed and placed along
the third base line at .he west end OF
the grandstand.
Teams have been at work for two
days, grading and scraping the track
putting it into shape for the interclass
meet, which viii be held the first
week of April, just before the spring
vacation. The weeds and sod have
bee ndug from the straightaway ano
the circular track, that has grown
slightly longer than it should be by
reason of filling in from the inside, has
been cut down to the proper length
and levelled.
1t is matter of regret that the only
meet scheduled for Wallla Wala this
spring has been shifted to Seattle,

MANY WHO USUALLY TAKE I'M

General Feeling That There Will Now
Be Cessation of the Disturbing
Methods.

NEW YORK, March 19.-(SpeciaD-
Many of those who usually take the
initiative in Wall street are either alb
sent or holding aloof waiting new de-
velopments. The new administration
has already settled down to business,
and there is a general feeling that there
will be a cessation Of the disturbing
methods towards great corporations
which have been so prominent for some
time past The Standard Oil and the
Missouri rate decisions, although they
had no great effect upon the market
served TO strengthen confidence. 1t is
believed that now the harmful conse-
Quences of radical and extreme agita-
ton against large corporations are
fully seen, that a more temperate pol
icy will be adopted in dealing with
such important matters. This does not
mean that there should be the slightest
lenienGy shown in the enforcement of
law against the large concerns, but

Books of Eastern Oregon Normal School
Show Things in Bad Shape
Instructors Unpaid.

SALEM, Ore, March 19.-The normal
schools at Ashland and Weston are no
longer state institutions. The executive
committee of the state board of nor
NAL school regents has declared that
those schools cannot be conducted fur
Their as state schools. At a meeting
Of the executive committee several
weeks ago it was decided that unless
the schools forwarded to the board the
subscriptions received for maintenance
they would have to be designated as
private schools.
The latest date set for forwarding the
subscribed funds was March r. The
Oregon State normal school at Mon
mouth sent in $1,000. The other schools
have sent in nothing. In view of this
situation Oregon has but one normal
school (officiaD, and that is the one at
Monmouth
1t is likely the executive board will
have a meeting soon to devise means
Of determining the status of the normal
schools at Weston and Ashland, for
the tuition for the semester ending in
June has been forwarded to the state
board, amounting to about $500.
Weston Is Worse Off.
An examination of the books Of the
secretary of the board Of normal school
regents shows that of the three normal
schools, Weston has been left in the
most unsatisfactory condition. The pay
rolls for January and February are yet
to be met, amounting to nearly $4,000
There is in the state treasury only
about $1,000 with which to meet these
obligations. OF this sum $500 was paid
in during February and consists of tu-
ition and dormitory fees. The. other

lief Tams on his ranch adjoining Bin
gen, one and half miles east of White
Sa mon. A specimen was assayed by
S. G. Dewsnap director of the state

"AGGIES" HAVE NEW TRACK TEAM
Six Stars Of Last Years SQUAD Out of
School,

CORVALLIS, Ore, March 1e.-The
oregon Agricultural college lost most
of last years track team, among them
being Davoit, Greenhaw, Steiwer. Jami-
son, Schroeder and Swami. Trainer
Heater has now before him the prob
lem of developing almost an entirely
new team. Promising men from high
schools are few, and what success is
accomplished must be so done through
the development of raw material Sc
lected directly from the various classes
AS yet, very little can be advanced re-
garding the prospective ability Of any
individuals in particular, but the gener-
al appearance of the squad as a whole
is as encouraging as might be expected.
Considering those who showed class
last season, guess can be made as
to VINO will participate in the different
events. In the sprints, will be found
Scott, HOWE, Bergman and Startsoff
Scott is much faster this year and is
better at starting. Those expected to do
we'll in the 44O are: Miles, Howard
Grove and Attix. Miles has possibly
as good a future before him as any man
in the college and it is generally adj
mitted by all interested that he will
develop into one of the fastest quarter
men that ever wore the Orange. In
the distances will be: Cross, Griggs
Grove and Boulan. The vault Will be
looked after by Chapman and Wood
cock, while Chapman, Bowen and Calliff
will probably do the jumps Bergman
who did so we'll in the hurdles two
seasons, is back this year and along
with him in this event will be Brodie

strong point, Hall, Wolff, Smith, En-
burg, Graham and Starker will be the
representatives.
Five meets nave been scheduled for
this season.

tariff question indicates that no radical
measure can be passed through that
branch of the legislature. President
Taft is, of course, a firm believer IN
protection, Notwithstanding his desire
for reform. and shares with the house
a wish to create as little disturbance
in business as possible by securing
prompt and moderate action. 1t is
probable, therefore, that the tariff has
been fully discounted as depressing
factor so far as Wall street is con-
cerned, and cannot be expected to re-
vive until the outcome is foreseen.
When this happens, trade will take a
fresh start, and to some extent the
stock market ought to anticipate such
improvement.
The next important element of con-
sequence is the crop situation. AS al
ready stated in these advices, the coun-
vest Prices of all food and agricul-
tural products are too high, greatly
increasing the cost of living, and no
recession can be anticipated until the
farmer gets to work and produces more
abundantly This he can we'll afford to
do, for farming has become a much
more profitable industry than in for
mer days, and there is sure to be a
ready market at profitable prices for
all the grower can possibly produce
Our farmers should be shown that it is
for their interest to strive to the ut
most for large production. At present
they are the most, if not the only
prosperous class in the country today;
yet they cannot indefinitely prosper. al
the expense of the other classes, and
their own progress will be prolonged
and made more permanent by doing
their share towards reducing the cost
of living. AS that element declines
there will be more to spend in other
directions, other industries will become
more prosperous, the number of en-
ployed will increase, there will be q
larger number of mouths to feed, and
consequent better demand for food
products. Our monetary outlook is in
every way satisfactory. Cheap rates

that demagogic attacks should cease,
and that the attempts al confiscatory
legislation will be fewer and far be-
tween In other words, the hope seems
justified that we are about to enter a
period of more rational treatment of
the great economic and financial prob
lens of the day.
Another matter upon which opinion
has been largely centered is the tariff.
1t can now be taken for granted that
no radical changes will be enforced.
The tariff, it might as well be admit
ted, is in the hands of it's friends; and
while more or less time and temper
may be expended before agreement is
reached, the best information confirms
the belief that the coming changes will
be comparatively slight. Strong pres
sure is being brought to bear to pre-
vent a break in party lines, which
would surely follow any radical cuts,
while the necessity of the government
for increased revenues affords the
stand-patters strong argument against
any reductions in actual revenue.

Monmouth Is More Fortunate.


Monmouth is in the most satisfactory
condition. There is $1,000 in the treas
ury and it is reported $4,000 has been
raised by the people of Monmouth for
meeting the expenses Of the school.
When it was decided that the schools
must close Friday, March II, by the
executive committee of the board of
normal school regents, it was not
known then that special session would
be called. At that time the presidents
of the different schools were notified
that they must close on that date and
if they continued they would continue
as private institutions, for the state
could not hope to meet the expenses
of the normal schools after that time.
Should they forward subscriptions suf-
ficient to meet the expenses of the re-
mainder of the year the state board of
regents said they would supervise the
schools and they could still continue as
state institutions.

Failure and Disappointment.


Believing that the special session
would do something for them, the pres
idents of the schools did not close, as
ordered by the state board of regents.
The executive committee, by mutual
consent, though they held no meeting,
allowed the presidents to continue the
schools in view of the prospects that
the special session would appropriate
money for their maintenance.
The board and presidents guessed
wrong.
It was thought by the executive
board that the expenses of the normals
might be paid to March II, and it was
under that impression that the schools
were ordered to close unless donations
were forwarded to the state board. AS
the situation now stands the schools
are running along with no possible
prospect of remuneration for the in
structors or without means to meet any
other expense for maintenance. The
executive board win probably meet soon
to definitely close up the affairs Of the
normal schools, but this meeting can
not be held prior to next week, as
some of the members are at present
out of the city.
The members OF the executive COM
mittee of the state board of normal
