patch suys : Intimate friends of Andrew i
Carnegio say that it is the intention of
the steel master to give at least $25,000,
000 for the erection of buildings and for
the endowment of the proposed technical
school of Pittsburg. It is also declared
by those who have talked with Mr
larnegie that he Intends to make his
school the finest of its kind in the world,
and that it will lend as much fame to
Pittsburg on the theoretical side of the
iron and eteolrnaking a his famous
works have done in actual practice.

Ri.oe.miontisi.v, March 15. Prisoners
who have lately been released by Gen
eral Dewet say they think he is a mad
man. They aver that the terrible fa
tigues tie has undergone, his anxiety and
the intensity of his feelings have unbal
anced his mind. Apart Iroin this view
of Dewet's mental state, some of his pe.
culiarities are that he rarely sleeps with
in the bounds of his camp. He seeks
rest outside with a few trusted followers
Thus the orderlies of his subordinate
commanders are frequently unable to
find him to receive orders. His secrecy
is extreme. He absolutely imparts his
plans to no one. Dewet repudiates the
peace negotiations which are going on.
He declares openly to the men that no
terms except independence will satisfy
him. A recent utterance attributed to
him is that, after the British, he hated
the Transvaalers. The whereabouts of
Dewet during the last two or three days
is unknown, nor is it known whether
President Steyn is with him.
Life Diploma Iteroked.
Salkm, Or., March 15. For the first
tune in the history of the public schools
of Oregon, the State Roard of Education
today revoked a state life diploma on
the ground of immortal conduct. The
diploma revoked waB that iesued to A.
R. Macpherson, of Malheur county, in
189S. He was recently charged by Kosa
Luuibertton with habitual drunkenness,
gambling and the use of tobacco. The
matter was referred to John Howard, of
Malheur county, to take testimony of
witnesses, and after considering this
testimony, the board lound the defend
ant guilty and canceled his diploma.
From the testimony it appears that
Macpherson has been a resident of
Mulheur county for many years. There
are some evidence in his favor but the
preponderance of testimony was clearly
gfaiust him.

COLUMLIA RIVER
TO BE BRIDGED
Railroad to Be Built at Once Dow
North Bank To Be Completed in
a Year.
Pokti.and, March 14.--In the superior
court at Vancouver, Washington, today
Judge Miller decided against the Colum
bla alley Railroad Company in the
proceedings of the Washington and
Oregon railroad to condemn the right
of way of the Portland and Puget Sound
railroad between Vancouver and th
Lewis river. Tins is part of the grade
lying within IClark county. That part
between tho Lewis river and Kalama i'b
in precisely the same legal situation m
Cowlitz county, eo the Columbia Valley
Company accepted the decision also for
that part of the controversy, in order to
avoid the necessity of going to Kalama
There was no appearance on the part
of the Portland and Puget Sound Com
pany, and the defeat of the intervention
of the Columbia Valley Company left
Washington and Oregon people in un
disputed possession of the field. The
jury awarded the Portland and Puget
Sound Company $11,000 for 1714 miles
of right of way.
Manager Price, of the Washington and
Oregon Company, said his company
expected to begin the construction of
the line next week.
He stated that he hoped to have the
road finished within a year, including a
bridge across the Columbia at Vancouver,
The practical evidence in the northwest
of a combination of transcontinental
railroad interests is afforded in the
harmonious adjustment of the struggle
lor a track on the north bank of the
Columbia between Vancouver and
Kalama. This matter has been arranged
in New York and there will be no fight.

(iiiTernment Ownership Impractical,
Washington, March 15. Thomas F.
Clark, vice-presient of the Westein
Union Telegraph Company, testified be
fore tiie industrial committee concern
ing the relations of tho telegraph com
pany to the public. He devoted much
of his time to the consideration of wisdom
of government ownership of tiie tele
graph.
"Those who base their advocacy of the
system upon its working in Great Brit
ain, Belgium and Switzerland ignore vi
tal differences between the conditions of
these countries and the United States,"
Mr. Clark said : ''In this country there
are only 07 people to each mile of wire,
while there are in Great Britain 130
people to the mile, in Switzerland 220
and iu Belgium 321. In the United
States there are 1,118,086 miles of wire,
and iu all of Europe, 1,585,267 miles.
"All told, there are 29,000 places in
the United States reached by the tele
graph companies, while in Great Britain
there are only 11 SO places thuB reached.
In this country almost 50 per cent of the
postoffices have telegraph connections,
while in Great Britain only about one
quarter of them are thus equipped."
While admitting that rates on local
messages in Europe are lower than in
the United States, Mr. Clark contended
that on through messages they are com
paratively higher.

...Our New Spring Styles...
The "Military" Sack Suit.
Perfect Pitting.
Superbly Tailored.
Made of an unfinished worsted, the most popular
suiting of the season ; navy blue with a faint light stripe.
The coat is made to fit snugly to the figure in the back,
with well-balanced shoulders, giving that very stylish
broad-shouldered appearance. Corners are half rounded.
Average length 30 inches. Trousers aie a trifle wider at
knee than last season ; same bottom.
As soon as the weather
clears
you will be ready for your new spring euit anyway
in time for Easter; we will take that much for
granted, at least.
Now when you're ready or before come in.
The first of the spring styles are here. You will par
don us for saying, they are the finest at the price ever
shewn in this store which ia saying a good deal, we
admit. If you are not yet ready to buy or look feel
assured that a few days more will see the assortment
doubled and full ot the choicest creations of this
country's best tailors which means of the world.
A word to those who would wear made-to-measure
clothes : Unless you can afford to patron
ize the very best merchant tailor and pay his fancy
price, buy and wear ready-made clothing.
The ready-made clothing ot today is not what it
used to be. It has, like everything else, followed
closely in the wake of progress, and is today as far
superior to its former kind as the up-to-date stores
of the present time are to the primitive cross-roads
stores of the early days. It is far superior to the av
erage merchant tailor work, in quality of materials
(inside and out), is more stylishly cut and finished
and if price-difference is any object to you is only
about half the tailors',. figures.
There is no reason on
earth
Why a man who is within calling distance of this
store should have his clothing made to measure.
When our spring line is complete we challenge the
man who says we cannot suit or fit him.
