Seven Wesleyaa freshmen received the sur prise of their, lives Saturday when their ears were roundly boxed by five females of the "Pony Ballet," a rau slcal comedy company, which is appear lng at the local opera house this week. During one of the acts the members of the pony ballet left the Stage and run through the audience. Today was a half holiday at the college and consequently the orchestra was filled with a large part of the student body. As the girls left the stage seven students, who wore occupying the front row, blocked the passage way. One student finally at tempted to thrown his arm around one of the girls when she turned and dealt him a resounding slap. Her four oom panlons followed suit and before the dated students awoke from their sur prise each individual of the band of seven had been boxed on the ear. The affair caused a sensation at the college. but Cameron's part in the case would not Influence him. A sister-in-law, Mrs. Fred King, was a depositor in the Ore gon Trust, but he did not know bow much she had deposited or whether she collected her claim in full. At the present rate of progress it seems unlikely that It qualified men will be passed for cause before Thurs day or Friday. Rfter that the state will have the privilege of excusing three men peremptorily, and the defense will have the right to excuse six more. This makes It almost certain that a jury will not be complete before the end of the week. Subpehas were Issued this morning for Harrison Allen, C. E. 8. Wood, John Klernan and H. C Keller as witnesses In the Wilde case. The men are wanted by the defense.

"We have discovered that we desire nothing for Portland or for Seattle that we cannot together work for," declared Mr. Clarfc-ihls morning. "Sixty' Seattle ad men advertised the uoiaen rouatcn among us, ror instance, but fully as effectively they advertised the Rose Festival. "They came in the spirit of good fel lowship and I think, they will go back saylns they were received in the spirit of good fellowship. We had a good time together, both at the banquet Saturday night and In selng the town yesterday. We will be planning now to take a dele gation to the Potlatch and have fully as good a time In .Seattle. Portland and Seattle, sister cities, sounded srood to every ad man, whether of Seattle or Portland." Some of the Seattle ad men went back yesterday morning. Most of them stayed uver, naw me town yesterday, were guests of the Press club and the Elks, went to sea Anna Held at the Helllg last night and made noise of an over whelming sort every minute of their stay.

LIMI1V1EM INITIO PLEDGES 1 TO RAILROAD Commercial Club C Will Give $1500 and Moral Support to Right; of Way Fund. (Special to Tbe Journal.) Ontario, Or., Jan. 15. At a recent meeting of the Ontario Commercial club, this town pledged $150flr to aid the Vale right of way committee, in buying the right of way for the Oregon & Eastern from Vale to the Malheur canyon, a distance of IS miles, with the under standing that the Vale committee guar antee to obtain the desired right of way to the canyon. The Oregon Short Line Railroad com pany agrees to pay $76 an acre for right of way from Vale to the canyon, but the railroad company also auks the citizens to sign a bond of $10,000 as a guarantee that they will get the right of way at that price. The Vale people have signed the' 110,000 bond since Ontario has pledged, not only moral but financial support. At the time of the conference at Salt Lake between the officials of the railroad company and the citizens' committee, it was thought that . the amount needed for the right of way purchases In .excess of $78 an ' acre, which the Company agrees to pay, would amount to nearly $10,000, but confer ences with ' land owners show that the exoess above $75 an acre will not ex ceed $4000 or $5000. Ontario Is anxious that the Oregon & Eastern be built from Vale through the canyon, rather than through Cow hollow, whloh would leave Vale off the main line, as by coming through Vale, On tario is placed at the terminal of the Oregon & Eastern and the Oregon Short Line, thus making Ontario the division point and the only logical place for the location of the roundhouse and machine shops.
