Jobni Motor line to Be Electri fied, anil a Spur Built to the University Campus. It Is practically settled that the Port land University building and 15 acres of ground surrounding It at University Park will soon pass Into the possession of the Catholic people, under the Jurisdiction of Archbishop Christie, and that the railway to St. Johns will be electrified and a spur extended to the University grounds for the accommodation of a great bchool to be established there. Negotiations have been In progress between the University Land Company and the Catholic People for some time, which has resulted In an agreement-by which the University build ing and 15 acres of ground will be trans ferred to them for the establish ment of a. school on condition that the St. Johns motor line be electrllied and that a switch be extended to the grounds, which are some distance from the main lino of the railway. If the City & Subur ban Railway Company will fulfill these requirements, tlio deal will be consum mated. Francis I. McKenna, living on Church street, North Alblna, who is fa miliar with the negotiations, bald last night that he had no doubt but these con ditions will bo met. and that at the next meeting of the railway company steps will bu taken to electrify the road and build the spur to the University grounds, for the company is very anxious that the school shall be established there. It will mean a great deal to the company. "It means a great literary tchool," said Mr. McKenna, "with the North Pacific Coast tributary to It, and will be the great Catholic school of the Northwest. The Catholics have 2000 acres and a col lege at Mount Angel, which will be for the education of novitiates, or young priests, but this school on the old Uni versity grounds will take a much wider scope, and, while under Catholic manage ment and control, will be non-sectarian in the admission of students. Archbishop Christie Is very enthusiastic over the pro posed literary school, and he Is a very cautious and conservative man. and moves with great deliberation. The grounds are Ideal, but the present brick building will need repairs, and another building will be erected this fall. A number of struc tures will be required for the use of the school. The requirement of the spur to the grounds Is that students may live In the city and easily and quickly reach the grounds, which cannot be done under the present conditions. I regard this matter as highly Important for the entire North west, as It means that a great school of art. music, science and literature will be built up here at Portland. The terms of tho contract between the land company and the prospective owners are not pub lic, and I do not care to speak of them." CROOK COUNTY STOCK. Cattle and SUecp Men More Than Sat. isfietl With Present Condition. Z. M. Brown, a Crook County cattle raiser, returned from Prinevllle yester day, and is registered nt the Perkins. The cattle and sheep men of Central Ore gon, he says, are In fine spirits over the abundance of grass and the good prices of stock, though no sheep or cattle have been sold in Crook County yet this sea son. There are quite a number of cattle over there that might be bought, but no Eastern purchasers have appeared. Own era, however, are not worrying over lack of demand, as they are all in easy cir cumstances and nobody is complaining of scarcity of money. Stock of all kinds wintered well, without being fed a pound of hay, so last year's stacks are being held Intact for future Winters that may not prove so kind to stock ranging on the bunchgrass hills. The building of the Columbia Southern railroad to Shanlko Is going to prove a boon to. Prinevllle people, he says, as their dlstanco to railroad communication will b shortened one-half. At present Prinevllle is reached by 130 miles of stag ing from The Dalles, and the trip Is a rough one. consuming 3 hours of con tinuous Jolting over hard roads, which follow basaltic hillsides and cross steep ravines for a good proportion of the route. He left Prinevllle one day at 1 P. M., and reached The Dalles at noon next day) having Jolted and Jostled all night In tho coach, and so. of course, was unable to obtain any sleep. Shanlko and Prinevllle are yet G3 miles apart, so that It will take a whole day' stage ride to reach one point from tho other, but even this Is welcomed as a sign of progress in that heretofore remote stock country. Prinevllle people are pre paring to do their freighting to Shanlko instead of to The Dalles this Summer and many of The Dalles business men are establishing branches at the new ter minus, in order to retain the trade they had built up In the city by the Columbia. Wool and stock shipments will also be loaded on at Shanlko, after accommoda tions have been prepared for their hand ling. He noted quite a number of new cabins In the hills on this trip. Theso have been built by homesteaders attracted to the bunchgrass prairies by the approach of the railroad. South of Cross Hollows, however, there Is very little farming land' tho country being better adapted for stock pasture, and he does not expect to eo those rough hills bomesteaded for some time. The narrow flats between the steep hillsides have been taken up by stockmen for some time, and these ore fenced and cultivated, as hay has to be raised to provide against hard Winters. The rough hills will grow bunchgrass, but the bedrock Is too clo.vs to the top of the ground to permit of plowing to any extent. Both sheep and cattle men of Crook County have quit worrying over Summer range, he says, since they have been as sured that their stock can roam over the Cascade Range without molestation. The usual number of stock will therefore b driven Into the mountains west of Prine vllle next June. Mr. Brown is one of thoso who believe that pasturing w.lll be good for the reservation, as It will keep grasses down, which would otherwise grow luxuriantly and dry out In the Fall, thus Inviting forest flres. He says cattle nnd sheep men are always Injured by moun tain fires, and that no herder or cow boy ever causes these. He attributes the prevalence of forest fires to the presence of careless hunters, who leave their camp fires burning- The story that stockmen cause forest fires is therefore "all rot." he says. i i DEAF EARS TO COMPLAINT.

They have been clamoring for square meals from the near-by Chinese restaur ants, offering to pay for them; but this has to be refused. They also want to shave themselves, as their chins and fore heads are becoming overgrown with stiff black hairs an Inch or so long. A razor Is one of the Implements forbidden In the Jail, and so the lottery agents will have to raise beards and hair while they are eating Mellcky grub, for the remainder of their terms. BOTH SIDES STATED "TALKING TOO MUCH." Pennoyrr'd Verbal MfKunRe to a Pres idential Candidate. Captain J A. Brown yesterday met S, Pennoyer. foinirly Governor of Oregon, on the street, tnd said to him: "I am going East, and am going to see Dewey. What will I siy to him for you?" "Will you say to him exactly what I tell you o?" asked Mr.Tcnnoyer. "I certainly will." was the reply. "Then say to him." continued the ex Governor, "that he Is making the ramo mistake which Bryan made four years ago. and which defeated him he Is talk ing too d d much." That Is what the parrot In the anecdote said to the woman who owned It but it Is probably true all the same. Exact F"nctn In Connection With an Kant Side Bicycle Accident. A man called at The Oregonlan office last evening, who said he was the hus band of the woman who upset a baby buggy and spilled the contents, to-wlt, one baby, on Union avenue. Wednesday. He alleged that his wife Is not a scorcher, and was not tiding fast at the time the accident happened; in fact, she had stopped and dismounted to avoid running into the baby carriage, and it was In lift ing up her bicycle from the sidewalk that she unfortunately upset tho buggy and spilled the baby. 1 was riding behind her. and witnessed the catastrophe, and vouches for the correct ness of his statements. He says the acci- dent was the fault of the woman with the baby buggy, presumably the mother of the baby, who Is one of those nervous persons, easily scared, and who, when his wife rang her bell. Jumped from ono side to the other, nnd exclaimed that she did not know which way to go. This he considers showed a lack of good Judg ment on the part of the excited lady. It does not appear that any great amount of good Judgment was exercised by the other woman In upsetting the baby and buggy In picking up her wheel, but this Is also a question of Judgment. The probability Is that the woman with the 569th Friday Surprise Sale Today Only LADIES' WRAPPERS WmW 89c Each A fine assortment of styles and colors, made of best quality Print, braid trimmed, with separate waist lining and full-width flounced skirt.

That the wheel woman was endeavoring to stop, but did not begin to endeavor soon enough. is evident from the fact that, in trying to dismount, her bicycle fell over, and it must have been very close to the buggy, as In picking it up she upset the buggy.

County Commissioner Steele arrived at the olllce of the Board of Commissioners yesterday In a natty bicycle suit, from tihoes to cap. He had Just returned from an Inspection trip of three hours over zi miles of bicycle path, mostly on the East Side, and going as far south as Woodstock and aa far north as St. Johns, over a path which will be completed thfc evening, ana thence crossing the river he returned over the St. Helens road path, which is com pleted for about three miles. When asked If It was true that many bi cyclists this seaeon would not pay tho Jl 25 required for a license tag. he said he did not know. The time allowed on which to pay this license Is 60 days, and Sheriff Frailer reports that so far only 425 taga have been taken out. The Commis sioners have nothing to do with the col lection of the license, which Is In the hands of the Sheriff. The Commissioners ordered 10.000 bicycle license tag this Spring, which cost $300. The tagn taken out will more than pay for these. Tho Commissioners had $4000 of bicycle taxes left over from last year, which Is n good thing, as If It had been expended last Fall It would have been practically wasted. They have built about elx miles of paths on the boulevards and about three miles on the St. Helens road, and will expend the balance of the bicycle tax to the best advantage, and then If there Is no more money In sight, no more bicycle paths will bo built. Several paths have been started, and the grubbing Is completed on a path from Mount Tabor to the Twelve-llllo house, on the Base Line road, but if there Is no money for these paths, work on them will be stopped. 1 r ARTISTIC SUCCESS. METEOR SEEN HERE. Local Scientist Located the Ball of l'lre Reported From Anhltuiil. The meteor which caused such a sensa tion among Southern Oregon edentUia wad seen In Portland by L. L. Hawkins. He was riding through Ladd's Held, in East Portland, on his bicycle, last Mon day evening, when, glancing at the south ern heavens, he saw a burn.ng ball of lira drop from the sky and bit the horizon. He dismounted and cut a notch In tlu fence In a line with an old building au-1 the place where the meteor is supposed t J have hit the ground. The next thing ha did was to secure a. compass and plot out a line on the map. on any point of which line the meteor might have fallen. The line, starting In East Portland, runs four degrees west of due south, and goes through tne towns of Oswego, Xew Er.i and Soda Springs. It runs 11 miles ut of Ashland. The sight of the meteor was very beau Uful, describing as it did an arc of about 35 degrees in the heavens, and leaving be hind It a trail of thin vapor. The places where the meteor first and last appeared In the firmament were made prominent by two well-defined clouds of smoke, which were visible fully half an hour befuia they finally vanished.

Thomas Barry, a resident of Napa, Cat, who has large stock Interests in Custer County, Montana, is at the Imperial, on, h!s way to his ranges on tho Yellowstone for the Summer. He thinks ieriously of closing out his cattle, horses and sheep, as Montana stockmen must hereafter own the land their herds range on, and the pur chase of thct?e lands will Involve the ex penditure of too much money. The days of free Government range are gone, in Montana. Mr. Barry says, as tho lands aro being settled up rapidly, tept. clally where living water exists. A good many stockmen are buying up Northern Paclrtc landj. but the possession of thcrso does not enable the stocKmun to keep oth ers off the even sections. Where men have purchased railroad lands and fenced them In. other stockmen were sustained by law In breaking the fences down to roach the Government grass on the even sections. Taxes are high In Montana, and when one figures Interest on money Invested In land and stock, he says, there Is not much margin left for the stockraiser. even at the present high prices of cattle, horses and sheep.
