"There la an opportunity for a vast field of speculation on your part ii to what may be done In experimenting tlonK the line of retrenchment at the utate Institution!!." waa the declara tion of Governor West today, when asked If the executive ax would fur ther awing- oh state employes. He In timated that further chances may be made than the sweeping; shake-up at the prison yesterday, but would make no definite statements. He did declare, however, that. If the preaent experiment of allowing; the warden to hold his own position and the superintendent's position works out successfully In his message to the next Legislature he will ask that the office be abolished.- James ReraMta to Be "eea. With this In view, there seems to be small hope that Superintendent James will take his leave of absence on a chance of returning- to the prison at the first of the year. Superintendent James refused to be seen again today, and It was understood that he left the city today, although this waa not veri fied. Many questions have arisen In con nection with the move made by the Governor yesterday. Under a leave of absence the superintendent of the Penitentiary remains that officer In name and some are of the opinion that lea-ally he could go ahead and collect the aalary. Governor West takes the opposite view and states be is certain that oo aalary will be collected for the work, of superintendent for the remaining; eight months of the year, at least. The law of the last session of the Mtate Legislature that created the State Parole Board makes provision that the superintendent of the Peni tentiary rhall always be a member of that Board and sets out definite duties that the superintendent shall have In connection with the Board. The Gov ernor insists, however, that this will not preclude the Warden from taking up those duties as the auperlntendent of the priaon. Power May Be l eea Kartfcer. The general laws give the Governor absolute domination over the affairs of the Penitentiary by his appointive power and he Intimated that If those now In charge are not satisfied with the arrangement, there may be others who can be put In charge who will be satisfied with It. The Governor reiterated today that he had bad no difficulties with Superin tendent James, and that the moves which he made Tuesday were moves for the sake of economy. "They are also moves along a line of experimentation as to how the cost of conducting the Institution may be de creased," he states. "And if I find them successfully working out at a reduced cost then the plan will probably be perfected as a permanent one. and other ateps may be taken to further reduce expenses." Other laatltatloaa la 1.1 ae. Evidently, from the statements made by the Governor, he haa his eye direct ed at some of the other state Institu tions as well as at the prison. The other Institutions, however, are under the control of the State Board, which consists of the Governor. Secretary of State and the State Treasurer. Efforts may be made through the board to take similar steps in some other lnsituttona. but what these institutions are and what steps are meditated cannot be as certained definitely. The Governor was more or less ret icent today In discussing the peniten tiary situation, continuing to take the stand that he Intends to keep a de ficiency from creeping in the affairs of the prison.

"While apparently we are somewhat behind In our appropriation." be stated, "this Is readily explained by the fact that we have a large quantity of sup plies on hand which have been paid for and which will practically take us through the year without heavy expen ditures of' this kind. Consequently I hope to see the maintenance fund hold out. but If it does not there will be no hesitation In further curtailing ex penses, and they will probably be cur tailed In the same manner as in the move of Tuesday. "There mil be such a thing as crip pling an Institution by making whole sale changes, but It Is along the line of experiment, and there are plenty of men to put bark on the lob If It is found that the Institution Is being handicapped In anv way." Ing to a decision handed down In the Roseburg United States Land Office to day. The decision probably ends for all time the case instituted by the Fed eral Government against Irvine Gardi ner, of Myrtle Creek, and Involving a 40-acre tract of land on Lees Creek. Gardiner holds the land on Its timber and agricultural valuations. The contest agnlnst Gardiner was In stituted following an Investigation on the part of Federal mineral inspectors, and waa watched closely by hundreds of homesteaders In this section of the state. Evidence was Introduced regard ing questionable operations of the J. C Lre Mining Company. In summing up the evidence the land officials say that: the land held by Gardiner has never yielded gold In pay ing quantities, but that It yielded money to the stockholders through the sale of stock, particularly when operated by the J. C. Lee Mining Company; that the mere fact of colors of gold having been found is no evidence that such mineral prevails In paying quantities.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallls, May 2. (Special.) Since the announcement of the official vote of the Pacific Northwest Intercol legiate Conference, designating the Oregon Agricultural College quintet basketball champions for 1912, it has been learned that the O. A. C. athletic board has had under advisement for some time an Eastern tour by the Northwest champions next holiday sea son. Although the plan has not been pre sented to the college council for ap proval, or referred to President Kerr, it is admitted the athletic board haa gone Into the matter rather extensively. The plan is to send the champions on a 30-day tour, playing such college champions of the Middle West as time would permit and meeting some of the stronger Y. M. C A. and innepenaenr teams. The trip probably would enable the O. A. C. team to go as far east aa the Mississippi River. The players and enthusiasts who have heard of the plan are anxious to have the matter acted upon, as it thought such a trip would mean much for the Improvement of athletics ana have a tendency to place Intercollegiate contests on a permanent basis. G. L. Larson, graduate manager, of Idaho, wrote the final letter to coa?n Stewart regarding the champlnsnlp. In which he said: "We can see no reason why your claim la not a legiti mate one. The extra game you had with us was scheduled at my request, and we certainly Insist it shall be counted, as snould. also, the Washing ton State Coll.'fce game. According to the percentage agreement adopted at the conference meeting, you are the rightful champions." CUICKET SEASON WILL OPEN Member of Portland Club to Con tent Saturday.

VANCOUVER. Wash.. May 2. (Spe cial.) Farmers and fruitgrowers of the county will meet In Vancouver Tues day, May 7. to form the Clark County Fruitgrowers' Association, which was started a few months ago by the elec tion of temporary officers. The county was divided into districts and two men In each district were appointed to work up the organisation In their respective districts. J. L. Pavles, of Haxeldell, Is tempo rary chairman and he has delivered a number of talks throughout the county in favor of forming the organisation. Senator W. H. Paulhamtis. of Puyallup, waa brought here last week to deliver a series of lectures on the possibilities of fruitgrowing and the feasibility of organizing a cannery association to handle the small fruits and berries. He was surprised at the possibilities dls nlayed in the county. In the various diatrlrts throughout the county small organisations of fruit growers have been formed and these all are to be governed by one head and the principal place of business will be Vancouver. A man will be secured who will sell the product of the mem bers of the association, standardise the fruit and show the farmers what and how to pack for the best results in marketing. There Is much sentiment In favor of building a cannery in Vancouver and a committee composed of William B. Du Bols, 11. L. Moody, A. B. East ham, Sam uel J. Miller and W. P. Connawny was appointed by the Commercial Club of Vancouver to do all in their power boost the good movement. if Hi to 4 EYES BETTER THAN 2 IIILDKBKAND INDORSKS TWO I'M PI RE SYSTEM. Many Plays Seen Combination I.Ikes New More Readily by Veteran Ump Plan Well. "The double umpire system has proved a failure. One good umpire la worth more than one good one and one poor one. Take Hlldebrand. for in stance, and ask him If he would rather umpire alone or work with an Inexperi enced man. and he will tell you frankly that he would rather be alone." State ment of Charles Graham, owner of tho Sacramento club. In refutation of the above excoriation of the double -umpire system Installed In the Pacific Coast League this season. Umpire Hlldebrand came out emphatic ally Wednesday, in the lull between games of the Portland-Vernon series, and not only Indorsed the double um pire system, but pointed out many In stances where the doubling up works to the advantage of the sport. "If I made any such remark as Gra ham credits me with. I cannot recall It. but I have now been on the road for over four weeks with a companion and I can say unqualifiedly that the double system is a grand success. I 11 give you a tew examples: "Under the single arrangement, with man on first and third the umpire stands behind the pitcher. Suppose a sacrifice fly Is hit to the outfield. Im mediately the umpire beats It for the plate to make his decision there on the throw-in. now he must watcn third to see that the man does not start too soon, and he must also watch first for the same reason. Of course he cannot keep his eyes on both stations, and the result Is the man on first gets a run ning start. "Suppose again that with these same conditions prevailing the pitcher cuts the ball off in the Infield, seeing that the run Is certain, and throws back to second to catch the man going from first base. Where is the umpire? Why. he's running toward home plate and has about as much chance to judge that play accurately as a watermelon has at a shine picnic. The popular Coast arbiter cited 15 or 0 just such occasions wherein the two men have It on the one. "Fair and foul ball . decisions down the first and third-base lines alone should warrant the double system," he added. "If I had been behind the Pitcher I wouldn't have caught that foul bunt of Butler's In Sunday's game and the score would have been tied up on Krueger's sacrifice a moment later. "When a batter hits with a man on second, how can one umpire prevent the first man from cutting third and at tha same time keep the batter from eurtln.
