Judge Hanna yesterday afternoon dismissed Jasper Jennings from custody. Jasper was convicted of murdering his father two years ago in a cabin near here. The trial was long and expensive to the county. After Jasper's conviction his sister, Dora, who has since died, was placed on trial for the same offense, but was acquitted. The supreme court or dered a new trial of Jasper on techni calities, and his dismissal is due to the fact that many of the witnesses at the former trial have moved away and the expense of a new trial would be enor mous. Judge Hanna's action meets with public approval. OREGON CAVES LEASED. EUGENE. Or, Sept. 26. B. W. M. Veatch and G. O.

The United States Navy and War Depart ments have issued orders for the prep aration of munitions in the pacific Coast armories and magazines are being filled with supples and hundieds of ad' ditional men have been employed for the work within the last few months. Ac tivities have increased remarkably at the Mane Island Navy Yard, where the force of men employed in the magazine has increased from a half dozen to al most two hundred. Stores and supplies are being placed In all of the army de pots. Each cruiser and warship arriving in vort are being equipped with a full supply of powder and shells. The trans port Warren, though scarcely fit for a voyage, has been ordered to the Philip' pines with cargo of miles and other war materials. Government agents offer no explanation. The coming of the big fleet of cruis ers, battleships and desrtoyers to tins coast is said to be the cause of the ac tivity at the Mare Island Navy Yard, where a few montns ago tnere were a half dozen men at work in the maga zines, situated at the southern end of the Island, and where now 200 skilled employees are working overtime making powder and shells for the warships, Carloads of powder for the big guns of the navy are received at the navy yard and put in readiness for instant use, and huge shells are loaded and piled up in convenient places.

MIDENCE IS THE KEYNOTE BOOSTING SPIRIT AMONG ASTORIA'S CITIZENS GROWING DAILY EV ERY MOVE OF RAILROAD MEN AND CAPITALISTS IS CLOSELY WATCHED. There is a prevailing iuipresslou In Atori& that, something big is going to happen in the way of. developing the ity before the end of another year. Optimism is ths keyuote of a great deal f talk which 1 iu circulation, ami the pirit of boosting is taking a strong hold f many of the citizens. The continual visits of railroad mag nates, engineers, surveyors, and inves tors to this seetlou are being noted with the keenest interest, and with the ar rival of every man of prominence in railroad matters, rumor begin to go the rounds with remarkable rApidity. Even the most staid people of the eity are becoming lnnoculated with enthus iasm, which has arrived after a oloss study of the situation from, all sides. lVssmiuti are few and far between, and the man who doubts the future great ness of Astoria in the past few months does not get much of a hearing from the majority of the citizens. The establishment of new institutions in the city have been very stimulating, and the fact that thoss prophets of pro greet, the real estate men, are beginning to get very active in Astoria, has also added to the feeling that there will be big things' going on in the city before many months. The interest shown in this district by the Northern Pacitltf oillcials has contri buted to no small part in the making of optimists, That a railroad of such huge interests should select this section of the west, when it is so actively en gaged in other parts of the country, as field for extensive endeavor, is being noted and salted down by the landed owners of the city and county. One of the most stimulating features of Astoria's grasp for a share of the general progress throughout the coun try, is the work of the Chamber of Com merce; That body has not been blocked in anything which it has gone after with spirit, and this has produced a feeling among its members that there are great possibilities for it to overcome in the making of a irreat seaport and metropolis of this section. Words of praise for the location of thecity are heard from every new ar' rival. In almost every case the new' comers have added to the general feel ing that Astoria at last is to come into her own as the shipping port of the Northwest coast, and' that nohing can stop her progress. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, Sept. 20. Tin- University of Oregon opened its doors Tuesday, September 24th. The first and second day' registration has shown an increase of more than 20 per cent over the re gistration of' the same time last year. Almost every hk'ti school and academy in the state Is represented, and a large number are presenting credentials from eastern preparatory schools. The year will mark the highest point in enroll ment that the University lws yet reach ed. The very serious question tlint i presenting itself is how to take care of all students. The lack of funds has made it impossible to furnish and heat all of the rooms in the library build ing, and for the same reason, the new girl's dormitory will have to lie idle for the year. Students, however, are adjusting themselves readily -to the con ditions, and the outlook for the year's work is exceptionally good.
