Pendleton,- Or., Feb. 1. Warmly re
senting the apparent operations of a
grain bag monopoly, which seems to be
planning a double priced holdup of the
grain growers of the northwest for the
coming summer, local farmers through
the county union of the, Farmers' -Co
operative and' Educational Union are
planning to ask aid from the legisla
ture and from the national congress If
necessary.
At this time the grain baff brokers
are asking 11 . cents for bags for : the
coming: harvest This price is regarded
as. outrageous by the farmers since the
Indian Jute crop this year is reported
as remarkably heavy. It is. pointed out
that the 11 cents per bag quotation bow
given is prima facie evidence that the
supply of bags Js monopolized. At this
time last year grain bags were quoted
at 6. cents. , : v:!,, ;: -'":'

Chapman had made photographs of the
body, which he sent east, he was able,

APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Call Siuslaw National Reserve
. a Hindrance to ' Settler,
Rfid by Theorists,-
(Special to Tbe Journal.) ;
Eugene, Or.. Feb. 1. A petition con
taining the names of 230 residents of
the Stuslaw forest reserve end vicinity,
asking senators and members of con
gress from Oregon to take steps to have
the Siuslaw reserve, returned to settle
ment and make it subject to homestead
entry, was forwarded from Eugene to
day. The reasons; set forth in 'their
petition, are In substance:
"The national forest la a detriment
to people who live' in its vicinity; all
kinds of natural resources within the
national forest are withheld from use;
the forest is operated so as to favor
the big. man and to help the homebuild
er; ' the homestead land is taken away
from settlement for ranger Stations; the
forestry officers are opposed to. settlers
and are anxious to keep the country
a wilderness by reporting against all
claims, whether good or bad; the'for,
estry officials are all eastern theorists,
who know nothing about the west; tim
ber sales are handled in the Interest of
a monopoly for the lumber trust: the
forest reserve stops settlement and lm
provement, thereby reducing- the
amount of taxes for schools and roads,
which are greatly needed in the 'Sius-
law national forest," .-''
In their plea for the cooperation of
the people of the state with representa
tives in congress to accomplish, this
end the petitioners say:
"We, the signers of this petition, do,
ask the citizens of the state of Oregon
to lend us a helping hand to relieve us
from this imprisonment, as we are shut
in without proper roads and schools and
hundreds of good homes that could
be taken if the reserve were abolished."

out of the water. The freeze came witn
great suddenness January 2, when about
six Inches of ice formed on the harbor.
Millions of the herring at the entrance

When Captain Brunn arrived January

60 feet on the beach and several hun

C. Poling of i Portland, addressed , a
large audience here last evening, on the
subject of the proposed college to ba
founded In or near this city, lie stated .
that Philomath college at Philomath,
Oregon, which has heretofore been un
der the control of the United Brethren
church, and the collegeat Dallas, Ore-
PTITI H'Vl i n Vl fi-a hull innflllntiifl V. I. tl-B 1
United Evangelical church, had decided
to federate for the purpose of conduct-"
lng one college instead of two, because
there are now such a large number of .
colleges and academies in the Willam
ette Valley. He stated that the Evangel
ical association was .also a member of
the federation, that the school while
it would be conducted to some extent '
on .religious lines, would be absolutely
non-sectarian, and that students of all -shades
of religious v belief would ' be
required to attend the churches which
they were, in the habit of attending at
home, sectarian teaching being abso
lutely eschewed. ;;-

Poling is chairman of tho com- -
mission which was selected by the as- ;
sociatod churches to find a suitablo lo
cation for ; the new collogo, and with
two other members of the commission
visited Castlerock Tuesday in re
sponse to an Invitation of the Caatlo
rock Boosters' club, - and were shown ;
different. sites which the citizens were c
willing to give to the institution should
It be located here. . ' . :
Mr. Poling in his ' address partially ;
outlined what would be required from
Castlerock people ift order to secure
the college, but expressed no partiality
for this city, beyond the fact that he '
thought It well located geographically, '
owing to the fact that it was nearly
half way between Portland and Ta
coma, the nearest points at which there
are institutions where the higher edu
cation can be obtained. - '
Mr. Poling stated that the argument !
has been advanced that Castlerock Is
tod small for such an 'institution, but
that he did not agree with that view,vJ
as ms peope;Wouia .rainer jnaaq a com-,
munity . than be ia4versely af focted by
one which was already established. '
Castlerock has a Boosters' club com
posed of men, many of them young, . '
who are full of energy and push, and '
If -determination counts for anything,
they will succeed In their efforts to se
cure this school. They are also Working
to secure other enterprises which -will
make this city the best In this section.
