was the announcement made yesterday
by Cure War.len Flnley. It has been
found. Mr. Flnley says. that larre
numbers of deer are destroyed every
Winter through the depredations of
these animals snd that means must be
taken to protect the herds from them.
The Came Warden's office now haa the

When W. A. ftlorrr. ex-sjherlff of

or cal.ing for the police. He said it
seemed to him ue!e to arprehend a
man that he believed prohalIy would
be paroled later by a Judjse or par
doned by the Governor.
"I have no sympathy with attempts
tn circumvent the law by granting
leniency to criminals." said Mr. Storey,
"if we are going to have officers and
courts I believe that they should be
a 'o. d to follow tr.e law. I know
what It Is to cat-h criminals, and t
know what It Is to pay taxes, and 1
believe criminals may as well be
turned loose In the beginning as in

The man awakened Mr. Storey" wife
snd daughter when he attempted to
enter through the front door. Mrs.
Storey turned on the porch light and
confronted the man. who was hatless
and ccatiess. with a key in Ills nanu.
)t was too astonished to spetk when
confronted by Mrs Storey. W hen Mr.

the state levy at approximately S.S
mills, the levy will really have to be
higher, aa we have to figure In dis
counts and other things." said Mr.
Hhaw. "The state merely notifies us
that Multnomah County must con
tribute so much money and we figure
what the levy will have to be. The
state officials probably take the total
assessed valuation of the state and
divide It by the amount they require

City Officials Satisfied With Result
In Broadway Case.
It cost the city $1100 to "get even"
with Farson, Sons Company, bond
buyers, but that It was well worth that
sum for the purpose of "showing" the
Arm that Portland means business
when It advertises Its bonds, was the
opinion expressed by City Auditor
Harbur. City Attorney Grant and mem
bers of the Council committee on ways
and means yesterday. A Judgment was
recently given in the Circuit Court and
the question of returning a certified
check for :5. 000 with interest Is now
before the Council.
Farson. Pons A Company bid on an
Issue of 1250.000 of Broadway bridge
bonds in the Simon administration and,
after waiting for months, replied that
their attorneys had given them an
opinion that the bonds were defective.
Mayor Simon recommended that the
certified check put up as sn evidence
of good faith be held by the city snd
the Council so order-id.
Whether the bonds were defective,
as the firm said, or not. is now a ques
tion pretty well settled, since J750.0O0
worth of them have been sold and the
Broadway bridge Is nearlng comple
tion at a rapid rate. The substructure
Is nearly finished and the upper por
tions are soon to be started.
At the meeting of the ways and
means committee. Auditor Barbur said
that he had loarned since the cou
troversy with the Farson company
that the Arm tried to aell the Broad
way bridge bonds all over the South
and. falling, telegraphed their attor
neys' opinion, alleging defects In the
issue. t
Mr. Barbur urged the members or
the committee to recommend that the
city secure opinions of Us own from
high authorities on all bond Issues In
the future but his suggestion was not
adopted. He said he thought It might
facilitate the sales and perhaps bring
better rates, but the members dis
agreed with him on these points.

Most notable is the falling off In the
number of drunkards arrested, the re

Much of this. It Is believed. Is trace
able to the campaign waged by the
police and the Municipal Court against
saloonkeepers who sell to Intoxicated
men. After two such offenders were
sentenced to the rockplle and many
others were heavily fined, the number
of helpless drunkards In the North End
and similar places fell off rapidly.
There were 17 saloonkeepers arrested
on this charge and two In 1910.
In 1911 there were 16.074 persons ar
rested, as against 18.234 the preceding
year. The whole of this reduction Is
found In the "plain drunk" column,
there being 244 arrests In 1911 and
7717 In 1910. Disorderly drunkards
declined from 791 to 574.
45 Fighters Arrested.
The most remarkable decline was In
the figures for assault and battery.
Only 45 persons were arrested for that

ITS FAILURE IS FORESEEN
V. JL O. A. Secretary Declares Con
solidation of Institutions Wonld
Sacrifice Study of Farming
for Classics.
OnDoaltlon to the orODOsed consoli
dation of the University of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural College waa
expressed last night by H. W. Stone,
general secretary of the Portland
Young Men's Christian Association, in
an Interview in which he brought out
arguments against the movement
which have not been expressed by
others who have participated in the
present discussion. The loss or prestige
that consolidation would mean to the
courses now conducted at Corvallis is
the chief argument advanced by Mr.
Stone.
"If the university and agricultural
college were combined it would certain
ly mean the overshadowing of the agri
cultural branches by tne university
courses." said Mr. Etone. "This has
been the experience In practically every
Instance where a state institution has
attempted to cover such a wide field.
"When the classics and other liberal
arts are taught in the same school as
the practical sciences there is always
a tendency to regard the classical and
literary courses as the most advanced.'
Students who take the more practical
studies are patronizingly known as
'aggies' and the practical courses
come to be looked down upon. The
resnlt Is that such branches as horticul
ture, soli chemistry, poultry and live
stock husbandry and others lose ground.
California One Example.
"This Is well illustrated in many
states, which have combined Institu
tions. Indeed, this has been true. I
believe, in every case, with the possi
ble exception of Wisconsin. California
la a good example. While the Uni
versity of California is supposed to
cover the same field that the combined
University of Oregon and Oregon Agri
cultural College now cover, little at
tention Is paid to the practical sciences.
There have been years at the Univer
sity of California when there were no
graduates in the agricultural depart
ments, and one year a girl was the only
graduate. Meantime Oregon with a
much smaller population was building
up a strong agricultural college and
attracting students from many states.
There la a California club at Corvallis
todir made un of students who would
doubtless stay in their own state If
California had a separate agricultural
college.
"On the other hand we need go no
further than Washington to see two
strong state Institutions that have been
developed on tne same lino as ine ore
rnn si-hools. The three greatest asjri
cultural colleges in the country Kan
sas. Iowa and Michigan are separate
