now almost assured, that several of them
will fall to tile tlielr bids at the proper
time for supplies at this institution.
This fact jeciune known todar through
a reliable authority, and It leads to con
aiderable speculation as to the future
course which will be adopted toward this

One of the principal alms and objects
of the Institution was to provide a place
for Imbecile patients at Uie State Insane
Asylum. The fapld growth of the asylum
and the addition of hundreda of new
patients made It necessary not only to
add conetJerajle room to the lnrtltutlon.
but to make arrangements whereby the
class of cases known ss "feeble minded"
might be cared for. With the establish
ment by the people 01 a Branca ini
asvlum In Eastern Oregon and with the
assurance that the new administration,
or reception ward of the Central Asylum,
will be completed within a few months,
or some time during the coming year at
least, there Is a sentiment among some
that the institutions should be combined
again. .

WASHINGTON. Dec. a. A fight will be
made by Representative Ralney. of Illi
nois, to bring the question of ex-Presl-dent
Roosevelt's traveling expenses
squarely before Congress. One of -the
stockholders of the Southern Railway
wrote Mr. Ralney that if Mr. Roosevelt
hsd paid for all the transportation fur
nished him on his orders. It would, have
cot JTj.O on that line alone. -
Mr. Ralney's recent resolution demand
ing Information regarding Roosevelt's
traveling expenses while President has
brought out a large correspondence. In
riii.im letters from several railway
stockholders, who agree with Mr. Ralney's
view that the railroad snouia not oe
saddled with the expense of the special
trains and special cars ordered from the
White House at passenger department
expense.
Mr. Kalney proposes Immediately after
Congress reassembles to move to dis
charge the rules committee from further
consideration of his resolution. If. as he
expects, the committee pigeonholes the
measure.
