11 S UXV AY OREGON! AX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 11, 1912. TJMK MONEY RUMS LOW IN SOME FUNDS State Institutions Must Trim Sail to Keep Within Ap propriations Made. PENITENTIARY HIT HARD School for Feeble Minded, Training School and Blind Institute Are Below Average Allowance for Year . to Iate. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) In a statement prepared by Secretary Ol cott covering the- finances of the Ore gen State Penitentiary. Oregon State Institution for the Feeble Minded. Ore gon Institute for the Blind, Oregon School for Deaf Mutes and Oregon State Training School, for the benefit of the State Board. It is shown that some of the achools will hare to crimp their expenses to the minimum during the balance of the five months of the year to get by without a deficiency. State Treasurer Kay today also an nounced that while there would be no deficiencies in all probability there will be no surplus to. amount to anything In the maintenance fund of the various institutions. The penitentiary will have to worry along on 15411 a month for the balance of the year, while during previous months it has been sailing along with 16012 as an average expenditure. The school which seems to be the hardest hit Is the Oregon School for Deaf Mutes. That has been averaging an expense of IJOss a month, while it will have to keep within $1923 a month for the bal ance of the year. Tralnlaa; School Haa Marsrla. The State ' School for the Feeble Minded haa a margin to run on. It has been expending for maintenance an average of $3126, and will have suf ficient money left to expend $3670 a month from now on. The Oregon State Training School is also within its ave rage allowance, having expended $2314 a month for the past seven months with sufficient money left to spend $3828 a month for the balance of the year. The board has been watching the in stitutions to see that they keep well within their appropriation for main tenance during the balance of the year. tm.siimp k ay savs. when it "'is certain that they have reached the mark where there will be no deficiency and chances for a surplus, the board will establish a system of Improve ments about the Institutions in the way of furniture, carpets and other necessary improvements which can be Justly charged to the maintenance fund. " As a result at the State Asylum for - the Insane it is probable that the $15. 000 surplus looked forward to will be ueed In making necessary repairs and improvements in the nature of main tenance. The statement showing the financial ' condition of the maintenance fund at the InstitAtlons enumerated is as fol lows: ' ' Financial Statement. Oregon State Penitentiary ' Balance for 1912 $S9,15.5 .

(Spe cial.) The oyster Industry on Grays Harbor Is proving to be one of the best propositions fom a financial standpoint of any started here. More than 10 companies have been formed since R. L. Fhllbrick made his experi ment several years ago, demonstrating that Eastern- seed transplanted to this section would thrive and produce a luscious blvavle. Fifty carloads of seed will be planted on the harbor within the next two years. The first experi ment tried by the Grays Harbor Oyster Company netted the company a profit of $8000 in four years from two car loads of -seed that cost- $2400. The money secured was used to purchase more seed, and the crop, which will be harvested next Fall, is valued at $23,000. Edmund Croft, of Tacoma. and other prominent men have secured some oyster land, and last Spring planted four carloads of seed, which are thriv ing. The Damon Point Oyster Company is planning to harvest the flsst of its crop next Fall, the crop being planted but three years. The bivalves do as well in Grays Harbor as any place along the - Coast, growing to the size of a small saucer. There Is a ready market for the entire crop, and as a result many are after choice lands. BURIED HOARD IN PLOT SECOND MURDER IS FEARED AT M-IRSHFXEXJ). Hidden Mexican Treasure Mystery Grows as William Joiner Is Found M isslng. MARSHFIELD. Or., Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) Further mystery and possibly another murder follows the tragic death of Jacob Evans, the pioneer of Coos County who knew of the buried Mexican treasure near Coos Bay, and who was shot and killed in his home on South Inlet. The murder was followed by several queer happenings, and now, to add to the mystery, William Joyner, a neigh bor and the man who found Evans dead in his house, has disappeared, and the officers are working on the theory that he has met with foul play. Joyner lived on the county road leading from Empire . to South Inlet, and near to the Evans place. The morning Evans was found dead Joyner expected to drive htm to Marshfield, and went to the Evans house and waited for the old man. When Evans and found Evans dead in the kitchen, where he had been shot down. . Joyner was taken before the grand Jury together with other residents of the locality, but the investigation did not bring any light upon the mystery of the Evans murder. Not long after ward someone shot, at Joyner in the dark while he was standing In front of his house, but the bullet missed. Now the man has disappeared entirely. His livestock was left on his place uncared for, and as he has been miss ing since last week the officers feel certain that he has been murdered. It is thought that possibly he was killed by someone who had to do with the Evans murder, or that perhaps, the Investigation of that case caused some feeling of revenge. Sheriff Gage is making a thorough investigation and search for the body, but so far It has not been found. It would have been an easy matter to have disposed of a body, as South Inlet Is near the bar, and the body, if thrown into the water, would probably be car ried out to sea. It is said that the offi cers have a clew which may lead to arrests. PENDLETON TO DRESS UP Residents to Vie With Each Other in Round-Tp Decorations. " PENDLETON. Or- Aug. 10. 8peclal.)

THIEF HELD AT CHEHALIS Kelly Butte Graduate Mast Face Grand Larceny Charge. CHEHALIS, Wash., Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) Suit has been filed In the Su perior Court charging Jake Schaffer with prand larrenv. Schaffer was the name given by the prisoner to hide his identity. Tne cnarge resuiieu irom nia entering a local hotel and stealing $50 worth of clothes from four persons. At first Schaffer consented to plead guilty to grand larceny, but after thinking the matter over in Jail for a few days, refused. When he was ar raigned he frankly stated that the rea son he would not plead guilty to the grand larceny charge was because no one of the four thefts amounted to more than $25, which would reduce the offense to one of petit larceny. He was willing to plead guilty to four separate charges of petit larceny in nrH.r in irxen his sentence within the county, but Prosecuting Attorney Bux ton has filed an lntorma,tion direct in the Superior Court charging the pris oner with grand larceny.

Wilson Has Stronger Following Than Roosevelt Campaign for Judge Is Biggest Fight. DALLAS, Or., Aug. 10. As yet the effects of the "Bull Moose" party have not been felt In Polk County. Possibly this Is due to the fact that Old Polk, the Republican stronghold of the state, and one of the two counties of the state that rolled up a majority for Taft In the primaries, is consiaereu strongly Republican- to have any effort made to capture it. Republican candidates of this county have expressed themselves as being Re publicans, first, last and all the time, and they will support the straight Re publican ticket from top to bottom. Though many of them are progressives, and though prior to the Republican Na tional convention they did not favor the nomination of either Taft or Roose velt, still they say they are willing to abide by the decision of the conven tion, and it is believed that Taft will carry the county by a majority of from two to three hundred over the other candidates. Woodrow Wilson apparently has more supporters in the county thariRoose velt, but, of course, like in the pri maries, little can be learned for cer tain. , There are many contests in the county that promise to be interesting, but at present a quiet campaign Is In progress. However, a rumbling can be heard now, and the storm may break at any time, for over some of the of fices feeling runs high, and the lines will be sharply drawn, not upon the principles of Republicanism and De mocracy, but upon outside Issues en tirely. The hottest fight is expected over the office of Judge, the Republican nominee. J. B. Teal, being opposed by Mr. Gregg, a Democrat, living at Per rydale. Mr. Teal's campaign was managed and backed by Democratic leaders, and for that reason many Republicans say they will not support him. However, an effort Is being made by other can didates for office, and by the County Central Committee to secure united ef fort in behalf of the whole ticket. i Idaho Timber Claim Case Settled.
