GREAT CATHOLIC SCHOOL
PORTLAMJ ITXIVEItSlTY nTJILIJIXG
AXD GROUNDS BOUGHT.
fit. 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.

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

of the bicycle bell behind her, looked
around, and. seeing a wheel-woman close
upon her, and the wheel-woman's hus

nervous or lost her head, and did not
know which way to go or what to do to
save the c-h-c-lld. That the wheel

did not begin to endeavor soon enough.
is evident from the fact that, in trying

Connty Commissioner Steele Takes a
ST-Sllle Ride.
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.

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.

Montana Cattlemen N'ovr Shot OS
Front Free Lands.
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.
