Secretary of State Dunbar sug gests the abolishment of the agricul tural college and various other funds, and that the amounts be arranged so that they can be paid out of the gen eral fund at any time. He finds ob jection in that these funds have to be always on hand while other funds are out of money. "A multiplicity of funds" he says "is a source of extra work frequently holding up* money needed for other purposes, and when disbursed through other channels than this office, as other expenses of the state govern ment. they are not always accounted for." Among his estimates for the ex penses of the state government dur ing the coming two years there ap pears »20.000 for state fair premium list, and all the general expenses as provided by law. and he says, "while the estimated amount of revenue re quired for state purposes for the year 19*5 to be apportioned January- next cannot be foretold with any ab solute certainty, the probabilities are that it will exceed »1.000.000. due principally to the necessity of provid ing for the remainder of the appro priation for the Lewis and Clark cen tennial exposition and to deficiencies in the appropriation for expenses of the asylum and penitentiary, and for public printing for the year 1903 and 1904. and to a smaller amount of re ceipts from miscellaneous sources." Mr. Dunbar says: “The removal of the mute school' from its present location to the cor porate limits of the city has been urged, the estimated expenses of which, for new buildings and furnish ings. is »70.000, and it is proposed that the buildings now used by the school will be converted to an Insti tution for the care of feebleminded children, or a reformatory for female juvenile offenders." In a ’iiw-usston of the Eddy corpor ation law which Secretary Dunbar commends, he suggests a law pro viding for the dissolution of corpora tions that have ceased doing business by proclamation of the governor. Dunbar commends the inheritance tax law. and says that it is working satisfactorily. Of insurance laws he save “I respectfully invite your atten tion to section »724 of our statutes which provides 'that ‘All orders or secret societies and other benevolent, fraternal, co-operative societies, as sociated or Incorporated for the sole purpose of mutual protection and re lief of members only, and for the pay ment of stipulated sums of money to the families of deceased members, or for property of Its members only, de stroyed by fire, and not for profit, are hereby declared not to be fire or life insurance companies in the sense and meaning of the insurance laws of the state, and are exempt from the provisions of all insurance laws.’ This is a cloak which Is being used to cover Impracticable schemes and foist upon our citizens fake societies or ganized solely for the benefit of those formulating the plan. Many Inquir ies are received for Information in re gard to the standing of this class of companies, which the department is unable to furnish." Secretary Dunbar renews his rec ommendations for the enactment of a franchir* or gross earnings tax on quasl-public corporations. In this connection he says: "A study of the question has led me to the conclusion, however, that the method adopted by other states requiring such companies to pay a tax upon their gross earnings, the same as insurance companies are now re quired under our statlutes, would be a much more simple and better plan and more readily understood and easily complied with. - “It is proper, also, in this connec tion. that attention should be called to the fact that companies owning and oj>erating dining and buffet cars and steamboats, while engaged In carrying passengers within the state, sell liquor without obtaining a coun ty or state license. As a measure for increasing the state’s revenue, I re spectfully suggest that this matter be Inquired into.” The attention of the legislature is called to the fact that the law re quires that a census be taken in 1905. and that if the statute referred to is adhered to strictly there will be much Information left out of the census that should be gathered for the ben efit of the state. NO IXIIK.E DOCTXJRS. liprrmlt-nt«l Action by Sonoma County Doctors. Santa Rosa. Cal.. Dec. 15 —Sonoma County Medical Society has decided there shall be no more lodge doctors 1 nthe county. The resolution as adopted takes effect January 5. The members will suffer expulsion to do lodge work any more. This will probably have the effect of raising sick benefits in many lodges which are now in the habit of furnishing medical services to mem bers free. The matter has created a sensation in lodge circles. Denver. Dec. 15.—A political sensa tion is caused by the flooding of the city with circulars charging Senator» Patterson and Teller with "neglecting their duties in Washington in order to remain ill Denver and fight for the democratic crooks now on trial in the supreme court." and calling upon them to resign because of frauds In the elections at which the legislature which sent them to Washington was chosen. In a signed statement this morning Patterson says “Teller is here be cause of the illness of Mr. Teller. Jr." He charges the republicans with con spiracy to rob Governor-elect Adams of his seat, steal the senate and pack the supreme court for corporation purpose*. He concluded he could do more good in Denver than in Washington by aiding to defeat the conspiracy.

People fled from the field when the outbreak began, which was preceded by a terrible rumbling, and sought shelter as best they could from the rain of stone and mud. Clouds of phosphorescent vapors enveloped the field, giving it the appearance of a whole town wrapped in flames. De tonations like the roar of cannon could be heard 10 miles away. Derricks were torn to atoms and machinery shattered. Grent fissure» opened in the earth and from them mud and vapors issued. Work was In progress at five wells yesterday morning when the upheaval came.

They«* are about 225.A60 «h*ep on the Vinitilla and Morrow county ranges, or 125.000 less than there were earli er in th«* year. Sales have been heavy thousands of head going to pastures in Nebraska for feeding purpose«.“ In the Pendleton district last sea son 2. .500,000 pounds of woo! were produced. The lowest price paid for this clip was 10 4 rents and the high est was 15 \ cents At Shaniko, the heart of the wool belt of Oregon, where between 8.000.000 and 5.000.- 000 pound* were grown. 15 cents was paid In one instance. This was the highest price recorded In the state last season. MI believe.” said Gwinn. “that prices throughout Orernn will be much better next year than they were this fall The heavy selling of sheep to outside buyers will diminish the output, and a condition nf general prosperity will have a tendency to in crease the demand. When people have they money they would rather pay a little more and take woolen instead of cotton fabrics ” The mills nf Pendleton use a great deal of the wool grown in this auc tion: however, coarse wools are Im ported. For scouring purposes, mills prefer the coarser wools and as a rule Pendleton sheepmen raise the finer grades. Hamhoulllets and l>e- lAlnea are the two breeds to be found on most of the ranges For mutton purpo»cs these lire cros«e<! with Cotts wolds and Lincoln«. About 20,000,000 pounds of wool were grown In Oregon this year and most of It east of the Cascades. COI NIA DIVV-ION STORY Was Entirely Inade- Playing Poker or Allowing the Same to Be Played.

Mr«. Butler Wa« Ypproached A special from Athena to the Walia Walla Statesman, concerning the ai- !• ge«t effort to divide Vmatilla coo li ly at the coming eesaton of the leg islature. says: "A story comes from Athena that the people residing In the eastern portion of Vmatilla county will make another effort to divide that county. It is said that a numlier of the lead ing farthers and business men of that end of the county are now at work on the proposition and that they will send a large delegation ot influential citizens to Salem this winter to lobby tor the measure. Several attempts have been made before to divide the county, but the legislature l-.i tailed to act." Residents ot Athena, who wc seen today, declare the story Is an it! ale told on the streets of Walla Walla. In hopes ot stirring up the people of the east end of Vmatilla county to take such action. There Is no foundation for the story and people who live In the vicinity of Athena say nothing would induce them to ask for a division of the county and that the subject has been brought up by Walla Walla merchants in order to make Pendleton "feel bad.” Walla Walla merchants are dis turbed over the energetic effort of Pendleton to direct Umatilla county trade this way, instead of sitting Idly by and allowing II to go to a Wash ington town, and It is alleged, are ready for almost any emergency act, to head off the good feeling now ex isting between Pendleton and the other towns in Vmatilla county. Walla Walla recognizes the fact th.it without Milton frul's and other products, tliere would be little to back up Walla Walla's boasted fruit crop, and It Is feared If Milton directs her trade and products to this city In stead of to Walla Walla.
