cused of making counterfeit half dol
lars and quarters is in Jail today after
a desperate struggle with three secret

evidence consists of two sacks of half
dollars and quarters of excellent
workmanship.
Bradley and the girl first rented
bungalow on the ocean highway
where the counterfeiting plant was
set up. The secret service agents fol-
lowed Bradley to the public library
where he studied and then tracked
him to where he bought supplies.
When the couple moved to the
heart of the city the agents planned
to make a raid. When they broke in

ANTT-RACE TRACK
BILL MEETS CHECK

Olympia, Wn., Jan. 27.-The Han
sen racetrack bill which passed the
house yesterday met its Grst check
in the senate today, when progressive
members lost their fight to have it
referred to the public morals COM
mittee. Senator Graves of Spokane,
in repeated and reiterated defiance to
the pulpit and press led the fight to
have the bill sent to the judiciary
committee.
Argued that the matter contained
in the Hansen bill was covered en-
tirely and better in the code about to
be presented by the prosecuting at
torney. 1t is expected the bill will
be passed by the senate this after
noon, and signed by Cosgrove.
The house spent most of the time
this morning considering the rules Of
procedure and did nothing of inter-

E|GHTY-F|VE
CENTS FOR WHEAT
PRICE PAID HERE FOR
TEN THOUSAND BUSHELS
c. ii. Campbell Sells Crop TO Kerr
Clifford Company for the Record
Price of the Year-Grain Was Of
the Dale Variety and Is said to
Have Been Above the Average in
Quality.

Eighty-five cents per bushel for
Dale wheat was the price paid by
Kerr-Gifford & Co. in this city this
morning to C. H. Campbell. The sale
consisted of 10000 bushels of wheat
and the price paid is said to be the
record price of the present season.
The wheat is said to have been
above the average and the local buy
ers are united in declaring that the
price is above the ordinary quota
tions which are said to be about so
cents.
According to Manager Rodgers of
the Kerr-Gifford company the price
paid was S5 cents f. o. b. which is. ne
declares made upon a basis of so
cents net.
The price paid Mr. Campbell was
the top notcher of a series of buys in
the local wheat market by which
something like 10000 bushels of
wheat has been cleaned up during the
last few days. The prices are said to
have ranged from n cents TO as
lllSl as o. Genus, lIle OdInpDell sale
being the only one which has exceed
ed that figure. But little of the
wheat is said to have been of very
first grade.
According to local buyers the price
of S1.09 being paid for bluestem in
Portland has no effect on the local
market as there is no quantity of that
wheat for sale in the country
The buyers also declare that the
sales made during the last week prac-
tically clean up the entire local pro-
duct with the exception of a few
small crops. These they declare are
not of best grade.
Mr.. Campbell was much gratified
over the sale made by him this morn
ing and is even more pleased with
the crop outlook for next year which
Is, he says, very promising in the He
Tx country.

Committee.

Salem, Jan. 2S.-The Joint COM
: mittee on ways and means from the
two houses held a preliminary meet
ing but did not act on any bills. Dan
p. Symthe, secretary of the Oregon
Wool Groweds' Association dequested
continuance of the appropriation of
$4,000 provided at the 1907 session
for the inspection of sheep of the
state by a board of commissioners.
Representative Campben of the
Clackamas county delegation, urged
the committees favorably to consider
the bill providing for an approprl-
alton of $25OO for the purchase of the
John Mclaughlin home at Oregon
City.
An unfavorable report was made
in the House yesterday by the COM
mittee on corporations against Rep
resentative Pudlin's antitrust bill.
This measure is considered too dras-
tic and as construed by the commit
tee would seriously interfere with
general business. The bill would
prohibit the organization of fruit
growers or association of producers
for growing and marketing crops.
House committee on railroads yes
terday reported favorably on bills
requiring that interurban streetcars
be provided with toilet accommoda-
tons and authorizing the Governor to
peace officers on steamboats,

bear the expense. This committee
still has under consideration Repre-
Brandon's bill reducing to

Holding that Oregon is maintain
ing too many normal schools, w. B.
Aver, member of the normal school
board of regents, has submitted to
the governor a minority report in
which he recommends that "the leg
islature make appropriations for two
normal schools, one to be located in
eastern and one in western Oregon.
and that the location of the schools
be left to the selection of the board
of regents, and that it shall not be
made incumbent upon them to re-
tain the present location of either of
the schools in western Oregon"
The last clause in the recommends
tion arouses some speculation in that
it raises the question of what loca-
tion may be contemplated in the mi
nority report.
Mr.. Aver cites the fact that in the
vote as to the number of schools that
should be maintained, five of the re-
gents voted for the retention of three
schools and that four of the regents
favored maintaining but two. He
sets forth that on January Is, 1909,
but 2S5 students were in attendance
at the three schools and that the
number is too small to justify the
state in maintaining so many nor
mails.
For the three, an appropriation of
$S21,660 is asked, and to this sum,
the report says, other sums have to
be added each succeeding year, for
dormitories, modern buildings and
other requirements.
'Why," continues the report. "ex- !
pend $50. unnecessarily for teach
ers' salaries and maintenance at one
more school than is required?"
The minority report is as follows:
