CARNEGIE GIVES sI.25o, 900,
Hero Funds Now in United States,
England. Germany and France.

England. Germany ana FRANCE
Berlin - Announcement was made
here that Andrew Carnegie has given
81, $50, 600 for a Carnegie foundation
for life savers in Germany.
The conditions and purposes of the
endowment are similar to those of the
"hero funds" previously established by
the American financier and philan-
thropist in the United States, England,
and France. The annual proceeds will
be used for the benefit of those who
have been injured in the performance
of heroic acts, and, in the event of a
hero's death, for the support of surviv-
ing dependents. A special provision
is made for the education of the child.
rem of those who have sacrificed their
lives.
Some time ago American Ambassa-
dor Hill, at the request of Mr.. Carne-
gle, approached the emperor on the
subject of whether such gift would
be acceptable. His majesty thoroughly
approved of the project, and in an au-
tograph letter to the donor expressed
deep interest in the benefaction.
The necessary details were soon con-
cluded and the fund placed in the
hands of the emperor, who as its pat
ron appointed commission of IL to
administer the same.
The president of the commission is
Rudolph Won Valenti, chief of his ma
jesty's civil cabinet, and his associates
in connection with the American am
bassador and representatives of the
mining, railway, maritime and indus
trial interests of Germany and the
medical profession.
The beneftssof the fund began with
the new year.
Germany now has provisions for the
relief of civil servants who have suf-
fered through heroism, and Mr.. Car
negie's gift will make it possible to
round out general system of bene-
faction.

Much Gas Is Found.

Ontario-A we'll A, 030 feet deep, oil
in considerable quantities and strong
pressure of gas, together with proper
shalc formation, make excellent in
dications of a good gusher within a
short depth. The gas in this well al
ready has considerable value, there be-
ing APO pounds pressure per square
inch at depth of 5000 feet, which is
cased off and can be used at any time
by perforating the casing at that
point, but more gas is coming from the
bottom. At depth of $500 feet mud
began to spout out of the bailer when
cleaning out the well, caused by the
gas, and as depth was gained the pres
sure increased until it is estimated
that the pressure at the present bot
tom of the we'll is over 600 pounds to
the square inch, and when the shale is
penetrated, within 200 or 300 feet, as
expected, it is anticipated there will
be enough gas to furnish power, light
and heat for the entire Snake river
valley.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CT THE STATE
WORKS AT COST OF LIVING.
Reduction of From 20 to 40 Per
Gent in Cost to Students.

Gent in Cost to Students.
University of Oregon, Eugene-A
scientific study of the living problem
has for some months been conducted at
the university, as a result of which, in
the future, the cost of living for indiv-
iduals and groups will be reduced to an
absolute minimum. The reduction will
mean drop of from 20 to 40 per cent
under the present cost.
Acting upon the figures and data
gathered, the university authorities
are working out the problem to prac-
tical results, so that in the spring they
can make the definite announcement
that the total expenses at the univer-
sity for one year may safely be kept
within 5000. This will allow as a
minimum $100 for board and room for
forty weeks of the school year. An
economical student should easily keep
his Incidental and personal expenses
within the limit of the other 500.
The plans necessary for the complete
solution of the living problem involve
the remodeling of the dormitory by the
university and the building Of cold
storage plant, and possibly within a
year or so the building by private per-
sons of small houses suitable for rent
to small groups of six or eight stu
dents; then the establishment in the
dormitory of cafeteria for the use of
all the students in the university, who
will pay for what they eat at cost
price. The erection of the cold
storage plant will make a tremendous
saving in the cost of food.
AS a further means of putting the
university within the reach of all,
plans are actively on foot by the alum
nj of the university to raise at once
fund of $25, 900 to be available for
loans to needy students. Students will
have access to this fund in the sums of
500 for four successive years, the
amount borrowed to be paid back as
soon as the student has begun to earn
money for himself. The permanency
of the fund is assured since already
some very prominent men in the state
have signified their willingness to
guarantee the fund against loss. The
of the need of this precau-
tion, however, is remote, for in the
history of the present fund there has
been no attempt on the part of benef-
ciary students to escape repayment.

s65. 900 to Run Session.

Salem-According to an estimate
that has just been prepared by the sec
retary of state, an appropriation Of
$55, 900 will be asked for the cost of
the coming session of the Legislature.
The last session cost $50, 900 and the
special session following it cost ST.
500.
Close figuring was required, how
ever, in falling within this limit.
This year it has been determined that
the cost of supplies has increased to a
considerable extent and other inciden-
tails are not as cheap, consequently the
increased estimate. What money may
be left over from this appropriation
goes back to the general fund.

gress in the settlement of wage de-
mands. Formal notice was handed the

cent increase. The managers sent
back their formal reply, which, it is
understood, offers a scale increase Of 8

First Jail Sentences Enforced.

West Union, O.-The departing year
was marked here by grand jury re-
port which returned 115 additional in
dictments against voters of Adams
county, charging them with either
bribery or acceptance of bribes in con-
nection with the traffic in votes on No
vember last. The grand total of
those indicted has reached 1888.
Judge A. z. Blair sent five Manches-
ter men to Jail for five months, fined
them $100 each and disfranchised them
for five years. These are the first Jail
sentences actually executed, although
a suspended sentence has been hung
over every one of the guilty men in the
wholesale bribery investigation.
Court opened at $50 O'Clock, the
county seat being filled with voters
from the extreme eastern section, who
had walked in, tramping all night to
arrive early and make their pleas of
guilty.

SUN SOLVES MYSTERY.
Rays Illuminate Crevasse and Musher
Sees Burros in Depths.

Seattle = A special from Valdez,
Alaska, says:
Five hundred feet down a crevasse
in the great Valdez glacier have been
discovered the bodies of six burros
making up the pack train of party Of
Eastern prospectors who started for
the Copper River country from this
point l3 years ago and were lost.
W. H. Crary, musher who was
travelling over the glacier, made the
discovery. The depths Of the crevasse
we're illuminated by the sun as Mr..
Crary crossed it and he caught sight Of
the burros. With the aid of his
binoculars he ascertained that the bur-
ros were in perfect state of preser-
walton and equipped with saddles and
packs. He could not discover any hu-
man bodies, but it is believed the own
ers of the pack train perished with it
in the crevasse, and an attempt will be
made as soon as the weather moderates
to descend into the fssure. The Gre
vase is far from the old Copper River
trail and this leads to the conjecture
that the prospectors lost their way and
perished,

lakes Photograph From Sky.

Los Angeles-It was conceded today
by military and naval experts here that
startling prophecy is involved in
the remarkable aerial performance of
Roy Knabenshue, representative of the
Wright brothers, at Dominguez avia-
tion field, who, while flying at height
of 500 feet, took snapshot of Domin-
guez field. The feat is considered note
worthy because Knabenshue was trav-
cling 40 miles an hour when he took
the photograph, which, when the film
was developed, showed the picture
true to detail.

Bottom Out of False Hair Market.

London-Ladies with only moderate
means desiring curls or switches, anc
gentlemen, whose pockets are rather
light and whose hair is getting thin or
the top may now obtain hirsute adorn-
ments at greatly reduced prices. There
is a glut in human hair, and the reason
given is political one, the annexation
of Korea by the Japanese. 1t appears
that since that event so many Koreans
have cut off their "top-knots" that in
one small town over ten new barber
shops have been opened, and the price
of human hair has fallen so much that
the best quality can now be bought for
a quarter an ounce, the price that used
to be asked for the cheapest.

TESTS SHOW COYOTES MAD.
BacterioIogist Discovers Germs o
Rabies in Animals Bitten.

6acterlologIst discovers Germs Q
Rabies in Animals Bitten,
Germs of rabies have been found by
Professor Pernot, state bacteriologist,
in heads of sheep and pig bitten by
coyote in Wallowa county. The
same coyote bit John Bosely, a boy,
who is being given Pasteur treatment
by DR.. White and Professor Pernot, in
order that any tendency to hydrophobia
may be checked.
Professor Pernot's discoveries give
foundation to the numerous reports
that rabies or hydrophobia is epidemic
among coyotes in Eastern Oregon.
With Negri bodies, germs of hydro
phobia, Professor Pernot infected rab-
bits. One of the rabbits was dead
next morning. The other will be ex-
pected to develop rabies in about two
weeks, and if it does, will be taken
as conclusive proof by Professor Per-
not that "mad coyotes" of Eastern
Oregon are really afflicted with rabies.
Professor Pernot is anxious that the
results of tests which he made upon
the heads of bitten animals shall not
be the cause of general alarm until the
results of the injections in the rabbits
are obtained.

CONDITIONS.
Greatest Damage Being Done by Cut
Worms-Ground in Good Shape So
Far as Moisture is Concerned.

In order to give more complete IN
formation of weather conditions, soil
conditions and the effects resulting
from the intense heat which has pre-
vailed during the past three days, the
official in charge of the local Office of
the weather bureau covered a fair
portion of Burleigh county yesterday
by auto. The results were very graf
flying. The soil was found to be in
excellent condition as regards mois-
ture. A few fields, however, which
were not properly cultivated showed
more or less of a baked condition of
the ground. The greatest menace to
crops was found to be cut worms.
Their activities were not confined to
corn alone, as is usually the case, but
wheat, oats and flax also suffered.
The extreme heat has proven very ia.
vorable to corn growth, and practical
ly no Ill effects were noted on small
grain from this source. Taking crop
conditions os a whole the outlook in
this pare of the state was never
better.
