authorized by the last legislature are

auditor. the attorney general held that
the bond issue is limited to 5 per cent
interest per annum. the fact that the
supplementary issue is called war

rants, draw per cent interest
The 5 per cent feature Of the public
building bonds is commonly known to
be the real reason for their non-sale,
since the eastern investor can get one
per cent more for his money. The
bonds have been offered for sale on
August Is, the second time since the
issue was authorized, and it is stated

contemplating a bid for the entire issue
of something in excess of S2,000.000.

whether sale will be realized, since
the warrant issue giving the additional
per cent in interest is to 60 on the
market.
To take up the approximate $1,000
of public building Indebtedness, accru-
ing from the last administration

tions, and to accommodate appropria-
tions made by the third legislature,

ed at first, the remainder depending
upon how rapidly the state awards con-
tracts against aspirations. The board
of affairs has not awarded contracts
save in the instance of the Granite re-
formatory, for the reason there was
nothing in the building fund to pay
for the work, and in the case Of the
reformatory, local financiers agreed
to take care of the proposition on the
bonded basis. Policy of the board of
affairs in view of the warrant issue
has not been announced.
Under the arrangement, it under
stood, the warrants are to be regis
tered, and apply against the special
fund, and as rapidly as money is gath
erred the treasurer Will make calls for
them. as is done in case Of other state

DISCIPLINE OF GARDENERS

Rome. July pa good story is told
to illustrate the discipline and self
control of the famous carabineers. that
ancient body of military policemen
who had their origin in Piedmont and
about whom so much has been said
during the Camorrist trial
The other day a company Of them
was drawn up outside the railway sta
ton for the arrival Of royal prince.
The prince appeared at the door Of
the station and all hands were raised
in salute when a Gardiner felt
little tug at his pocket. Then he felt
another stronger pull, and remember
ed with anguish that all his pay and
horded wealth was in purse in his
trousers pocket which was being in
siduously attacked, having been ex-
posed by the raising of his arm. What
should he doe The foreign prince was
just opposite, and to put down his
hand and not salute was unthinkable.
but at the same time could flesh and
blood, and an officer of the law Too,
deliberately allow himself to be rob-
bed and ruined? His desperate state
of mind was shown in the trembling
of that hand, which. however, stayed
glued to the forehead while the pree-
ious purse was slowly and surely abb
stracted. At last the agonizing mo-
ment came when he felt that the pull
ing had stopped and knew that the
thief had made Off
Fortunately, the theft had taken
some time. as the thief evidently was
not very bold, and iGst as he got the
coveted prize in his hand, the captain
of the Carabineers turned to give an
order, the saluting being over, and
saw what had happened The order
for pursuit was given and the Cara
bineer who had proved the power of
discipline over human nature was the
one who caught his thief and recover
ed his property intact.
1t is not generally known that the
civil list OF the King of Italy is larger
than that of almost any other sover-
eign, as it amounts to over $4,000, 600
a year. However. this does not mean
that Victor Emanuel can dispose of
more money than some other Euro
pean potentates. 1t must be remem-
bered that he has inherited the pos
sessions of all the seven states in
which Italy was divided before the
middle Of the last century, and that
many Of these properties, such as his
toric palaces and gorgeous villas not
only are not productive of anything,
but represent heavy burden on the
budget Of the Royad House.
Now and then the question Of re-
ducing the civil list comes up, but con
rary 10 what takes place in other
countries the King himself is favor
able TO the reduction, on the condition
that he be relieved of a large number
of royal parks and palaces which he
never uses and which absorb about
two-thirds OF the civil list for their
maintenance. This point reached gen
orally, the question goes no further,
as if the property which the King
would be ready to give UP were taken
over by the state, there would be no
saving in the expenditure. which, in
fact, as everything managed by the
might come to cost more,
while it is out of the question to lose
such national treasures, although in
the past there have been offers for
them from private persons, including
the Rothscbild family.

truck garden about two and a half
miles east of the city. was placed un-

WESTON PROJECT
LOOKS LIKE SUCCESS
ESTIMATES ARE RIGHT
AND MANY SIGN UP
G. w. Proebstel Hopeful Over Outlook
for Watering Land Adjoining His
Town-COntractor Reduces Cost.

The work OF getting the farmers
to sign up for water under the Pine
creek project is now underway and
the hopes for the success of the pro.
ject are very bright according to G
w. Proebstel, well known hardware
dealer of Weston who has been down
today upon business trip.
Estimates on the cost of the Pine
creek project were secured some time
ago and the engineers place the cost
at trifle over $50 per acre. This
estimate "looks good" to the project
enthusiasts who feel that the farmers
may we'll afford to pay that price fol
having their land supplied with water
any time It may be needed.
That the engineers have been con-
servative in estimating the cost OF
building the project is indicated By
the fact that an intending contractor
has written the promoters that he viii
be able TO do the work for 100000
less than the estimate.
The work of inducing the land own
ers to sign up for the water is pro-
crossing very well and according e
those in charge there will be no diff
ficulty In getting the desired acre
age. But for obvious reasons 1t Il
desired to have all the land in n bod!
II possible and some difficulty is be
( ing had in getting some Of the own
ers to sign ups There are few larg'
owners who persist in remaining out
side the fold and until these can b'
induced to sign for water or unit
more progressive people buy then
out the project is being delayed.

COMMISSION APPOINTED
IN BUCK stove CASE
WILL DETERMINE GUILT
OF FEDERATION OFFICERS
Justice Wright Will Base His Further
Action I'm Noted Case on the Decis-
ion of the Commission.

Washington, May IS. - Justice
Wright of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia today appointed
commission to determine whether
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison of the
American Federation were guilty of
contempt of court. Upon the decis-
ion of the commission, Wright will
base his further action in the noted
case. Wright is proceeding under the
decision of the United States supreme
court which ordered the dismissal Of
the case yesterday. Wright says the
decision left open a possibility of him
self ordering the contempt proceedings
against labor leaders because they
disobeyed his injunction in the Buck
stove case.
He held that the court dismissed
the Jail sentence on the ground that
the action had been brought by the
Buck company. In such an event on.
ly a fine could be imposed.
Wright said he ordered the inves-
tigation so his court would be vindi-
Gated and sustained.

HENDRICKS SUBMITS
DEMURRER TO SUIT

A demurrer in the case of the State
of Oregon VS.. c. G. Hendricks ct al
was argued and submitted yesterday
afternoon before Circuit Judge Phelps,
Charles Carter appearing as counsel
for the state and ID. w. Bailey for
the defendants. The demurrer al
legged that the suit for the condemna-
ton of the Hendricks ten acre tract
west of the city for the branch asy-
lum purposes was unconstitutional on
three grounds, namely: first, that the
title of the act directing the state
board to select grounds for the asy-
lum did hot state the object of the
act sufficiently clear; second, that the
state has no authority to condemn
the ground because the act specifies
nothing aout acquiring land by con-
demnation or by exercise of the right
of eminent domain; and third, that
1t is not sufficient that the state
should allege in its complaint that 1t
had failed to agree with Mr.. Hen
dricks on the price of the land but
must also allege that it had failed to
agree with each of the other three de-
/ fendants.
This is the suit by which the state
seeks to gain possession of the Hen
dricks land, alleging that Hendricks
had put an excessive price on his land
when informed that the state needed
it for asylum purposes.
L. C. Dickenson is made party to
the suit as he holds a $4,000 mortgage
on the land and Pearl Bowman be-
cause he holds a claim of $40 against
Hendricks. Frank Nudo is the fourth
of the defendants, he having peen
employed by Hendricks to farm the
land

UMAT|LLA COUNTY IS
BLESSED WITH RAIN

Umatilla county is being abundant
ly blessed with rain and the bless
ing is evenly distributed so that no
one section will have the advantage
over the other. Reports are that the
rainfall in the vicinity of Echo has
been heavier than about Pendleton
and this means that the light lands of
of the county will produce good crop
this year. Moisture was needed bad
ly in that sectin to insure good
yield.
According to the weather observer
the rainfall since yesterday afternoon
has been 10 of an inch which brings
the precipitation for the year up to
II inches, approximately the normal
Some of the farmers are now COM
planning that they are getting too
much rain, which goes to prove that
there are no climatic conditions which
will entirely please a farmer. They
say that the heavy rains are produc-
ing a rank growth and causing the
grain to fall down but the more op-
timistic only smile and declare they
can't get enough rain to injure a crop
in Umatilla county. Therefore, the
prediction is freely made that the 1911
crop will be one OF the largest in
years.
