pan, tho excursion being made in a
Bteamor especially chartered for the

dent body at tho University of Oregon.
The registration has now reached 627,

of tho second semester. Many stu
dents enter at this time, completing
their work at the midyear four years
hence. Tho registration of 521 in
cludes only the departments of liberal
arts and engineering and not tho de
partments of medicine and law. If

Freight Via Klamath.
Klamath Falls A movement has

regular court work, brought the mes
sage from the business men of Lake
view that If Klamath Falls could furn
ish rates and handle tho business they
could have all freight routed this way.
It Is a hundred mile haul between the
two points. Tho chamber of commerce
will take up tho matter, as It Is realiz
ed that the securing of this freight will
be tho first step in making Klamath
Falls tho distributing point for all
Southeastern Oregon.

POTATO CROP HEAVY.
La Grande Farmers Busy In Fields
Digging Big Yield.
La Grande Potato buyer's from all
parts of the Northwest are here look
ing over tho Immense fields which
promise to furnish a largo part of tho
potat) Bupply this winter in Washing
ton and Oregon. The Grand Rondo
valley has been noted for potato culture
In years past, but this season every
thing was favorable and tho crop Is of
unusual excellence.
Several carloads have already been
sent to Walla Walla and Seattle is de
manding heavy shipments every week.
Tho product of the fields around Alicel
and Imbler promise fortunes for their
owners. Digging is in full blast and
some farmers fear for heavy frosts be
fore hey can harvest all their crop.
'Prices promlso to range high, offer
ings of $1 a sack being made for stock
on the cars. In the past it has been
necessary to ship some of the surplus
to Eastern markets, but this year the
Northwest will take all that can be
spared.
Homesteaders Await Water.
Bums Pending the decision of the
secretary of the interior, a large num
ber of settlers havo been taking home
steads on the land held by the Harney
Valley Improvement company, under
the Carey act. The company received
a contract from the state to irrigate
60.000 acreB of land in Harney valley.
Ditches were surveyed but when work
was commenced tho Pacific Livestock
company secured an injunction. This
action killed the project and the im
provement company made no further
effort to reclaim the land.

Grove, has purchased the apple crop
of Dr. L. D. Scarbrough, of Creswell,
who has a 2-acre orchard of the finest
trees in the upper Willamette valley.
Mr. Stewart purchased the apples for
Ray & Hatfield, of New York, who
paid a higher price than has ever been
paid for upper Willamette, valley ap
ples. Experts say that Dr. Scar
brough's apples are " as fine as any
grown in tne nooa river or Kogue
river valleys.

Beautiful JandArtisUc Decoration for
Wisconsin Capitol.
New York, NoV. 2. The nearly
completed decoration for tho assembly
room of tho Wisconsin state capitol,
painted by Edwin A. Blas'hfield, has
been placed on exhibition in New York
and is attracting much attention.
It will remain on exhibition for only.
a few days,. The decoration syrtibol-
izes the past, present and future of the
state, and contains three groups of fig
ures, set in a handsome grove of pine
trees. The figure, typifying Wiscon
sin, ia seated on a rock in the center of
the composition, surrounded by ot,her
figures, which represent Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan, tho Mississippi river,
a number of the early explorers of the
Northwest and one of the Jesuit Fath
ers who first worked among the Indians.
The figure of Wisconsin is in almost
full light; the others are in partial or
complete shadow. In the right hand
corner is o "color guard" of one of the
Wisconsin regiments,in the Civil war,
and a couple of Indians covering their
eyes from the light of advancing civil
ization. This group symbolizes the
past of Wisconsin, from the earliest
times until the middle vcars of the last
century. Directly in front of the cen
tral figures etandB "'Ihe' present,
po nting toward tho dim white build
inira of tho canitol. seen in the dis
tance, and a group of lumbermen, min
ers and farmers, on whom the prosper
ity of the state now depends. At the
nxtreme left stands the fieura of "The
Future," guarding her lamp and oy her
side a figure typical of the "Conserva
tion of Force." whose cestura indicates
ier wish to preserve the great trees of
the forest.
TROOPS FIRE ON REBELS.
Turkish Rebels Quickly Subdued by
Single Volley.
Constantinople, Nov. 2.--tA threat
ened outbreak on the part of a com
pany of Turkish troops attached to the
garrison at the Yildiz Kiosk was
promptly put down thiB morning with
a single volley from a loyal battalion.
Three of the mutineers were killed or
wounded.
The murderous spirit manifested it
self when the company was assembled,
which threatened for a few moments
to result in serious trouble. Hurry
orders were issued and a battalion from
a regiment recently brought in from
Salonica was marched to the scene and
one volley sufficed to cow the mutin
eers. The rebellious troops were un
der orders to leave for the provinces,
but they refused to depart, withdrew
to a field near the barracks and defied
their officers. The battalion from
Salonica which was drafted into the
capital especially because the men,
who are stanch supporters of the Con
stitution, was ordered to attack the
rebels. They fixed one volley, with the
result above setiorth, after which the
mutineers surrendered and were made
prisoners. Later they were drawn up
on the public square, tied together and
exhibited to the assembled troops and
as rebels who had broken their military
oath. This prompt suppression is ex
pected to have a salutary effect on the
remainder of the Yildiz Kiosk garri
son, which is suspected of being antag
onistic to the constitution.
SHIPS FINNS TO NEVADA.
Labor Agent Takes Miners to Relieve
Shortage at Ely.
Ogden, Utah, Nov. 2. Two carloads
of Finns, miners from the Lake Supe
rior district, in charge of a boss on
their way to Ely, Nev., are looked up
on as the advance guard of a great
army of iron miners to be placed at
work in the mines of the Nevada Cop
per company. They aro under contract
to work for $2.50 and board, a scale
much below the prevailing wages in
Ely, yet George C. Butler, who is di
recting the party, anticipates no dem
onstration on the part of the union
miners when the Finns reach their des
tination. Mr. Butler explains they are
not strikebreakers, but are imported to
meet a labor shortage.

Manila, Nov. 2. Tho first squadron

15 YEARSJN PRISON
New York Bank Wrecker and Ice
King Gets Severe Sentence.
CURTIS IS GIVEN HIS FREEDOM
Morse Asks for Ball and Says Ho
Will Fight to the Last Ditch
Appeal Is Taken.
New York, Nov. 7. From a cell in
tho Tombs prison Charles W. Morso
now directs the efforts of his counsel
to procure his freedom, he having been
sentenced yesterday to serve' 15 years
in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.,
for misapplication of the funds of tho
National Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books of
the bank. Alfred H. Curtis, ex-president
of the defunct bank, who waa
tried jointly and convicted with Morse,
was given his liberty on a suspended
sentence.
While. Morse's lawyers immediately
applied for and obtained a stay of exe
cution for 10 days after sentence had
been imposed, it is probable that Morse
will remain a prisoner in the tombs
until Monday, as Judge Hough has re
fused to admit him to bail.
The Morse lawyers applied late yes
terday to the United States Court of
Appeals for a writ to show cause why
their client should not be admitted to
bail, and the writ was granted, but it
is not returnable until Monday.
Whether a new trial will be granted
Morse is problematical. Judge La
combe granted a writ of error to his
lawyers today. The writ is returnable
December 3, and is based on the usual
grounds exceptions taken by the de
fense during the trial and exceptions
to the indictment itself. This step had
to be taken before application for bail
could be made, and it also leads to the
argument for a new trial.
Morse's lawyers say their client has
instructed them to fight "to the last
ditch."
MUST LIMIT HEIGHT.
New York Aichitect Protests Against
300-Foot Buildings.
New York, Nov. 7. Dangers of 'con
gestion in downtown New York, should
the proposed new building code fail to
restrict more radically than now pro
posed the height of buildings hereafter
constructed, were dwelt upon by prom
inent architects and engineers before
the building committee of the board of
aldermen, today.
Speaking for the American Institute
of Architects and Society of Beau Arts,
Ernest Flagg, an architect, opposed
the recommendation of the commission
because it fixed the limit of height so
high "that scarcely anyone would care
to build higher."
vMr. Flagg pointed out the danger
from congestion in times of sudden
panic, if the people in all the 300-foot
buildings which the new regulations
would allow to be constructed were to
