Great Educational Revival
Strikes Oregon Institutions

University of Oregon, Eugene.-An
intellectual stimulus that state uni
versity observers so far have not ac-
counted for appears to have come to
Oregon this fall. Here are few of
the manifestations of it:
Nearly 1000 persons have appeared
for university extension classes in
Portland. Residence enrolment in
liberal arts at Eugene will be nearly
1,100 for the year. Registration in the
rrespondence-study department Is
528. Attendance at the summer school
was 314 Other departments show
similar growth. For example, 4,479
teachers Of Oregon have this year
done their reading circle work with
the university.
The Portland increase is about rs
per cent; liberal arts residence in
crease is about 13 per cent; the cor
respondence-study increase is 10 per
cent; the summer school increase was
70 per cent. This growth has come
in period when increases were not
to be expected.
When a member Of the extension
faculty made trip on institute work
to Harvey county this month, ma
jority of the teachers were found to
be interested in correspondence-study.
The attendance totals for all Oregon
institutions of higher education give
this state a high place in percentage
Of population that goes beyond the
high school.

VILLA RAID MARKED BY HORRORS;
TERRIFIED POPULATION STARVING

Ell Paso, Tex.-Villa's attack on Gus
ihuiriachic is described by survivors
in an article printed by El Democratic
Of Chihuahua, as accompanied by hor-
rors without parallel in the history Of
the recent revolution.
Women and children as well as men
fell in the massacre, and the survivors
told of the case Of woman, who, be-
cause she had nursed the wounds OF
General Cara, was said to have been
shot, wounded, and with her newborn
child, was soaked with petroleum and
burned to death. Villa is represented
as turning a deaf ear to all supplica-
tions for mercy.
1--WE are informed" says the paper,
that the people in the section are
frightened to such an extent that they
do not sleep in their houses, but seek
refuge in the woods or in the interior
of mines"
Copies also reached Ell Paso Of a
printed appeal for aid from the char
ity society of Zacatecas Verifying the
stories of disease and starvation there
the appeal said typhus and inanition
caused 1000 deaths in the past four
months. 1t declared that owing to
typhus the fields were not cultivated
and there would be no crops, while
corn is beyond the means of the poor
classes-$250 in paper money for q
hectolitre, or less than three bushels
Of corn--and there Is absolutely NO
work. The population, the appeal con
cluded, with winter coming on, was
threatened with extinction.

Elwood, Neb.-Ten men were killed,
fatally crushed, and II others ser
iously injured when a train on the
Burlington railroad crashed into the
freight caboose in which these were
riding, IL miles east Of here Sunday
morning. Five other men, standing
on the rear platform Of the caboose,
saw the approaching train soon
enough to jump to safety. One other
man in the caboose cupola was thrown
clear of the wreck and escaped injury.
The trains in collision were the sec
ond and third sections of regular
stock train. Lack Of lights and warn
ing signals is given by survivors OF
the collision as the cause of the acci-
dent.
All the victims are residents OF Ne
braska towns of western and central
parts of the state, most of them farm
ers or stockmen.
The second section train had stop
ped at point about half way between
Smithfield and Bertrand because Of
hot boxes.
Members Of the crew were at work
on the hot boxes when the third sec
tion, running 10 minutes behind the
first, crashed into caboose. 1t IL

section had failed to put out torpedoef
or lights to warn the train following
and that the headlight on the engine
pulling the third section had gone out
No one wasaware of the danger unit
the third section was within a few
Yards Of the rear end of the second
The engineer reversed his engine bu
he could not stop.
The heavy stock train jammed int
the train ahead, driving the waycal
under q car of cattle ahead. The q
men on the floor Of the caboose wer'
jammed into space of less than foul
feet In width and this was filled witt
wreckage. The railroad ran a specia
train from Holdredge with physician
and the injured were taken to Hast

RESUME WORK IN San FRANCISCO

San Francisco, Oct. 15.-The strike
of the boilermakers and allied crafts,
involving about 1900 men in the San
Francisco and Alameda plants of the
Union Iron Works and the Moore &
Scott Shipyards at Oakland, was set

the employers to discharge members
of the Shipfitters' Union, an organiza
tion which had withdrawn from the
American Federation Of Labor. Un
der the terms Of the settlement the
shipfitters will join the international
Boilermakers union and the Ship
wrights and Caulkers' union, another
independent union, will become part
Of the United Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners of America. No ques
tion of wages or hours had place in
the controversy.
Mayor James Rolph, Jr, took an &C
tive part in the bringing about Of a
settlement of the international dispute
which had been hanging fire two
years.

New Loan Of $250,OOO,O0O
Puts Check on Rapid Imports

Chicago.-Beyond question, the flo
tation of the British loan Of $3.50, ,000,-
900 in this market in the early part
of September has been instrumental
in checking the flow of gold to this
country, and to that extent, has been
beneficial.
Up to the third week In September
the gold imports this year aggregated
$685., ,45O,0 900, against exports Of $685.
SOC, 900, SO that the excess Of imports
over exports this year has been $751;
445,OOO, which compares with an ex-
cess in gold imports over exports for
the corresponding period of last year
of $247,171,000.
Whether gold imports can be long
held In check Is difficult question to
determine, as much depends upon the
British requirements and the attitude
OF the American banks and the invest.
ment public. But it Is certain that
sooner or later gold will again flow
into this country in considerable vol
ume, unless, of course, the war should
come to sudden and unexpected ter
mination.
This enormous accumulation OF gold
which has taken place since the begin
ming of the war is resulting in tire
mendous expansion in various forms
of credit. This expansion is form Of
initiation, but, being based upon gold
is not dangerous
One Of the unfortunate results o1
the upward tendency of prices Is the
effect that they have on corporations
having fixed earning rate. for these
corporations can only increase theil
revenue from an increase In volume
and, naturally, there are limitations
even on that This applies especially
to the railroads.

Shooting Stars Promised.

University of Oregon, Eugene-Two
separate annual displays of shooting
stars will be visible throughout Ore
gon November 15 and "a, according to
e. H. McAlister, professor of astron-
omy and mechanics in the state uni
versity. The display due on Novem-
ber Is may be seen in the early morn
ing hours; that of November "a is due
in the early evening. The earth at
these times will be cutting through
the orbit of the swarm of meteors
from which the stars come.
Display of the aurora borealis will
be visible in Oregon next winter, for
the first time in II years, Mr.. McAlis-
ter says. Northern lights are dim in
this latitude Of the west, except when
the sun spots have reached their max
imum number, which occurs only once
in II years. A connection between
the sun spots and the aurora borealls
is believed by many scientists to exist.

sands of the best troops in the coun-
try were being taken into Chihuahua

movements that will lead either to
Villas isolation in the mountains with

struction."

AUBURN DEFENSE
READY FOR HOWARD

Auburn, October 5.-(Special. )-Word
has been brought into Aub urn camp that
Howard is laying for them with whole
packages of surprises and they are fully
prepared to meet them more than half
way. While defense has been thoroughly
tested, that main work of work has been
the development of offense with proper
punch in it. The punch has been lacking
because the new men have not had a
chance of working together.
Practically all of the old men, with the
exception of Sample, are ready for Sat-
urday's fray. Though they have not yet
reached the form that might be expected
of them, there are no serious injuries
in camp and if the team is working prop
erly they would be in fine shape for the
game.
A number of new men will be used for
further testing. The men who will prob
ably be brought to Birmingham are:
Rickenbacked, Steed, Rivington, Stickney
and Jones, fullbacks; Prendegast, Scott
and Nall, halves; Captain Hairston, Pat
jones and Mat Jones at quarter and at
half; the ends, Williamson, Bonner, Du-
cote, Burns, Story and Gibson, and the
linemen, tackles, Wynne, Campbell Bon
ner and Rogers; guards, Fricke, Beard
and Warren, and center, Robinson, Good
win and Cation.
