Oil. EOF. CONSOLIDATION.
CORVALLIS. Or.. April -T. Spe
cial. At a meeting of the Board of
Regents of th Oregon Agricultural
College hre today, the propntd con
solidation of elu atlnnal Institutions
was Informally discussed, all the
members present participating.
It agreed that the Brrl was
not called an for a public expression,
but ea.-n mnlr at tha meeting
epofce against consolidation and ex
pressed fear that agricultural and
Irdoftrltl education In tha state
would suffer If uch a change In tha
edu-atlenal evtm should be inaug-u-a?ed.
Tnose present were J. K. Wealher
ford. president: E. K. Wilson, secre
tary: C E. Hpence. master of tha
fttate Grange; I. R. Aldermen. Su
perintendent of rubllc Instruction:
Bun W. Olcott. Secretary of State;

While doubtful of tho sdvlsiblllty of
a movement to consolidate- the I'nl
verslty of Oregrnn and the Oregon Afc
rlcultural College. President P. U
Campbeii. ut tne former Institution. Is
favorably Inclined toward the plan nuc
leated by the member of the Portland
business men a recursion Thursday,
ra'l'ne for the appointment of a com
mission by tiovernor West to Investi
gate the merits and demerits of any
Dieaeuro that may be proposed, aimlns
t consolidation.
"I ran see no rerious objection to
the appointment of such a commission."
said President Campbell, who came to
Portland yesterday with the returning
excursion party from Corvallls. "In
view of the fact that there Is already
soma discussion of a measure to con
solidate the two Institutions. A full
and careful Investigation, such as
might be conducted by a commission of
thin nature, certainly should precede
the Introduction of any measure.
t.raBse Slsjdlc-s ttaesfloa.
-The committee on education for the
State Orange Is engaged In a careful
study of this iueatlon and la to report
at the meeting of the grange in May.
A commission appointed by the Gover
nor could cover the same ground and
-poaalbly reinforce the conclusions of
this grange committee. As I under
stand the spirit of the resolution passed
at Dallas by the business men's excur
sion. It was simplv to provide means
for thoroughly canvassing the whole
subject without preconceived prejudice
as to the ultimate findings.
"The question of consolidation at
present Is one for practical discussion,
under all the conditions at the present
time involved. Both Institutions have
been well organised for many years
and each has a large number of alumni
and a host of warm friends through
out the state. In addition to this. It
Is to be remembered that the acts lo
cating the two Institutions made the lo
cation perpetual. In consideration of
the donation of land and the erection
of buildings by citizens of the coun
ties In which they are situated. It Is
a grave question whether a consolida
tion would not involve the repudia
tion of a contract with one or the
other, or possibly both of these com
munities. Ueclaloa Not See a Near.
"Again, the provisions governing the
relocation of state institutions seem
to provide that authorisation for such
action shall be made by the Legisla
ture and the question submitted to a
vote of the people. fnder this pro
vision more t.ian two years might be
required to reach a final derision, dur
ing which time the work of both in
stitutions would be seriously handi
capped. " if it should happen that more than
one initiative measure should be placed
before the people, growing out of . dif
ferences of opinion as to location, tha
outcome probably would be the defeat
of all measures, owing to the splitting
up of the affirmative vote, and after
the vexatious campaign the status of
the Institutions might remain un
changed, excepting for such bitterness
of feeling aa would be engendered by
I lie campaign Itself, plus- the impair
ment and growth of both schools that
would Inevitably result from the un
certainty of their situation while the
matter was still pending.
personally, in view of all these prac
tical considerations. I should feel It to
be unwise to attempt the consolidation
of the two Institutions, and I believe
that this would also be the ultimate
decision of any commission that the
tiovernor might appoint to look Into
the matter."
DapllratJoB Work Disease a.
Regarding duplication of work In the
State University and the Agricultural
College. President Campbell pointed out
that this whole question is now being
handled by the State Board of Higher
Curricula in an effective manner. Al
ready points of duplication In several
coursea have been eliminated, notably
in the mechanical and mining engineer
ing. The idea that there is any great
lack of economy In a reasonable amount
of duplication, ha declared to be not
well founded, aince teaching forces and
building equipment must always main
tain a certain fixed ratio to the number
of students enrolled, whether the build
ings and equlpmenta be situated upi ti
one campus or two. Findings of the
Board of Higher Curricula, he said,
show that the Increase of expense, even
under the most unfavorable conditions
of duplication, is not great, and the
experience In Eastern slates has been
that the tendency In great combined in
stitutions seems to be away from the
economical use of funds.
The whole Question of economy In
the two state colleges." he said, "could.
I believe, be well controlled by plac
ing them upon a mlllage basin, ruch aa
Is common In practically all of the other
states, where the Income derived from
the levy of a fraction of a mill la per
manently appropriated for each Insti
tution. Washington adopted this meth
od two years ago, and it has proved
highly eatisfactory."
"In the separation of the Agricul
tural College and the State. I'nlverslty."
'resident Campbell said, " there Is a
substantial gain In the e:nplials placed
upon the Industrial sll of education.
It was to gain this very emphasis that
the land-grant colleges were originally
organised as separate from the great
universale. In a great Institution,
with a multiplicity of departments,
there ! alwavs grave, danger that
either the industrial or the liberal arts
courses will suffer through neglect.
"One illustration of the- tremendous
interest taken In the Agricultural Col
Ixtji mm an Institution designed to de
velop the great soli resources of Ore- j
gon Is to be founo in me rninuiiii
developed by the business men s excur
sion to Corvallls last week. Ho much
enthusiasm could not have been
aroused had th school of agricultural
and industrial pursuits been but one
of many departments In a single vast
university organization. Oregon, with
Its wonderful resources In soil, espe
c' llv needs Just this concentration of
Interest In her Agricultural Colle.se as
a distinct Institution. hlth will pro
duce the widespread and lasting en
thusiasm to sustain a permanent 'back-to-the-soll'
movement."

PENDLETON. Or.. April 17. Spe
clal.l County Judire ilaloney today
handed down a decision in the famous
Warner rase in whl.-h the filing of a
seventh will, purporting to be the last
and true will of J. W. Young, deceased,
is Involved.
Judge Maloney refused to order the
seventh will admitted to probate, bas
ing his opinion on the fact that be
cause one will already admitted to pro
bate is before the court, not having
gone to final account and has been ac
cepted as a true will, he has no Juris
diction in the matter. Also Judge Ma
loney says in hl opinion, that the
filing of the seventh will Is barred hy
the statute of limitation, six years
having elapsed since the will, which
stands, was admitted to probate. It Is
understood the rase will be appealed.
There have been a number of other
documents purporting to be the last
will of J. W. Young filed for probate
since the first will was wocketed, but
none so far have been ordered admitted
to probate.
Kred Young, a brother of Mrs. Mabel
Young Warner filed the document pur
porting to be the seventh will and the
matter was argued by the attorneys
for Mr. Young and the attorneys repre
senting the Uatta" Interests. The only
will admitted to probate Is the first
will In which Mrs. Watts Is chief devisee.

From Suggestions.
CORVALL.IS. Or.. April 17. (Spe
cial.) The state rested In the Humph
rys murder trial, completing; Its case
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. A number
of the Itnesses subpenaed by the state
were not called to the stand.
Men to whom the Humphry, had re
peated the confessions of their guilt
could have been culled, but the prose
cution feli that a aufneient number of
wltnest-es us to the confessions had tes
tified, und that additional strength to
the case would not be lent by further
evidence of this kind.
The state's attorneys are confident of
a verdict of murder In the first degree.
The defense, besides the introduction
of testimony as to the peaceable and
law-abiding character of the accused
In the neighborhoods where they have
formerly resided, will endeavor to
show that the alleged crimes of which
Charles Humphrys has said his brother
George was guilty, never were com
mitted, thus tending to show that no
reliance can be placed upon his confes
sions. .Attorneys for the defendants also are
calling witnesses to prove that the
Humphrys are men of aimple minds
and of a weak order of Intelligence,
with the view of claiming that their
confessions were not based upon any
real facts, but resulted entirely from
suggestions made by stronger minds.

whoso names were printed on the bal
lot were those having the Indorsement

OtPQCA PROJECT.
Property Owners in West End of
Douglas County Strong for
New District.
DRAIN, Or., April 27. (Special.)
The plan to create the Port of Ump
qua is attacked by big railroad Inter
ests, according to statements signed
by many property owners and taxpay
ers of the west end of Douglas County.
Agents who admit that they have been
sent Into the district by one railroad
system have been making strong ef
forts to Induce residents to vote against
the proposed port at the special elec
tion to be held next Saturday.
The majority of the property owners
seem to be strongly In favor of the
new port district, believing that It will
mean the rapid development of the
west end of the county. Mass meetings
are being held throughout the district
and everywhere there Is great enthusi
asm over the project.
It la pointed out that the develop
ment of the western part of Douglas
County has been held back on account
of the lack of shipping facilities, and
for that reason large milling Interests
have not felt Justified In establishing
mills on the Umpqua River. It Is ex
pected that when the Port of Ump
qua is created and the short north
jetty Installed, there will be big saw
mill plants established and stumpage
prices will advance materially. Sup
porters of the port projec. declare that
land holders Immediately will profit by
an' active demand for timber lands at
prices commensurate with those that
obtain along the Columbia Blver, Coos
Bay or Grays Harbor districts.
Of the 1000 voters in the proposed
port district. It Is declared that nearly
three-fourths are In favor of the big
development plan.
