BIG RALLY IS POSTPONED
Ex-Senator Fulton to Speak at Taft
Meeting April 13.
DALLAS. Or.. April 3. (Special.)
Owins; to the fact that the Dallus Taft
committee was unable to secure the
services of Ex-Senator Charles Fulton
for next Saturday, and being; assured
that they can g-et him the week follow
ing:, It has been decided to hold the big;
rally on Saturday. April 13.
Mr. Fulton Is well liked in Polio
County, and an address by him will do
more to unite the Republicans of tbla
county upon .Taft than anything else.
Preparations are being; made for a big
meeting;. Taft sentiment in this county seems
to be growing every day. During; the
past week the county has been sys
tematically canvassed, and Taft but
tons and Taft literature are now to be
found In nearly every home here. As
sentiment grows In favor of the Pres
ident, also does a sentiment seem to
grow to defeat Senator Bourne for
nomination. Selling Is gaining in pop
ularity every day.

line Growing; Weather in Kansas
and' Oklahoma Seeding Opera
tions Are Under May in
the Xorthwest.
CHICAOO, April 8 Gilt-edce weather
for growth in Kansas and Oklahoma, and
for seeding In the Dakota .and Minne
sota, encouraged speculators today to pound
the prices of wheat. Latest trading left
the market at a decline of Httc to lo
net.
Attention tn the wheat pit veered almost
completely from the May option to the
new crop. The Southwest sold large
amounts of the July future here, the rea
son being not only the fine growing weath
er of the last two days, but an official
forecast of similar conditions to come. Min
neapolis sent word that seeding operations
would be in full wlng all over the three
principal Northwestern states by the end
of the week. Some seeding was said to
be already under way In Canada. '
An estimate put forth on high authority
that the wheat crop of the United States
April 1 showed a condition of 81.2 per
cent, against S3.3 a year ago, fell flat.
The crowd went on gelling new crop months
and forced a new low level.
Corn weakened with wheat and because
of a general move to secure profits. Pros
pect of lighter feeding had a disconcerting
effect on the bull side. Cheap offerings
of low-grade Canada wheat at Omaha also
counted against value of ordinary forage.
Bright promise of a start soon on plant
ing made the price of oats wilt- The North
west reported a big acreage probable and
said soil conditions were perfect.
There wa a huge trade in provisions.
Packers, however, met freely the general
outside and foreign buying ao that In the
end the market stood unaltered or had lld
off from a shade to 10 cent.

BISHOP PRAISES STUDENTS
Erfort to Kestore College Relations
Held Christian Aet.
Bishop Scaddlnff closed yesterday a
"teachins mission" at Corvallis and has
sent the following: message to the stu
dent body of O. A. C. regarding their
relationship to LT. O.:
"I desire to express my sincere ap
preciation of the courtesy and kindr-ess
received from the faculty and under
graduates of the O. A. C. On the occa
sion of my lasf official visitation to
Corvallis I had the honor of being a
guest at Waldo Hall and giving- an ad
dress to an inspiring and attractive
group of young uomen; and on this oc
casion I have not had time to accept
all the Invitations from the college
which have come, but I have thorough
ly enjoyed meeting so many stalwart,
sturdy, earnest young men.
"It has been a great pleasure to meet
the students and to know of the
growth and prosperity of the college.
As a public servant and one deeply
concerned in the building up of Oregon
on other than mere material and com
mercial lines. I have an affectionate in
terest in O. A. C. and congratulate the
student body on their efforts to resume
"student relations" with the L'river
eity of Oregon. '
"To some of us. who are keenly in
terested in both these splendid Oregon
Institutions and who can look upon
them with some perspective, the sever
ing of relations was an unhappy oc
currence, due I am sure to misunder
standing, utterances made In quick
temper or Irresponsible newspaper re
ports. I rejoice to see that the good
sense of both student bodies is In evi
dence and congratulate both on the
self-respect, dignity, poise and Chris
tian spirit in which negotiations are
being carried on.
"Let us remember that whatever our
college affiliation may be, we are Ore
rronlans firsL Let us be good sports
men and play the game and take defeat
or victory like gentlemen."
