Salem. Dec. 15.—In his annual re
port. 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.

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.

Not a pound of the 1505 wool clip
of the Pendleton diatrlct haa been
contracted for, com«*» the atatement
officially from J H. Gwinn, secretary
of the Oregon W’ool Grower»’ associ
ation, in the Oregon Dally* Journal
Th»« de* la ration practically applies
to all of Eastern Oregon.
There 1»
an upward tendency of the market
over last year, but »<» far as is known
no offerings of any kind have been
made.
MTh*- outlook
for
next
season’s
clip.' said Gwinn, “is excellent, but
there is little likelihood of more wo«d
being
produced
than last
spring.
They«* are about 225.A60 «h*ep on the
Vinitilla and Morrow county ranges,
or 125.000 less than there were earli

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

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-

on most of the ranges

About 20,000,000 pounds of wool
were grown In Oregon this year and
most of It east of the Cascades.

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. It will be a
