Perennial County Division Scheme is Agan to the Front. Because Prairie City, John Day and Canvon City, all in Grant county, wish to be county seats, the perennial county division agitation In Grant county Is again before he people. Petitions are being circulated, ask ing for the creation of a new county with Lo,.g Creek as the county seat. The matter wllj be presented to the legislature. A neat Job of safe-cracking was done tha night of January at the j Jefferson street station of the South ern PaclOo, but the perpetrators se-j cured less than $60. Washington, Jan. 30. The supreme court today rendered a decision ad verse to Swift & Co., other compa nies In the beef .trust, on their appeal from the Injunction of the federal court of the northern district of Illi nois, restraining illegal combination to restrict competition in the pur chase uf livestock and the aule of dressed beef. A sweeping injunction was affirm ed, with certain minor modifications. to make Jt .conform to the bill of the attorney general. The decision was unanimous. This clinches the ' victory already won by the farmers and stockgrow ers of Illinois, in their suit to prevent depresaiou nif the stock business by the trust. The decision of the circuit court which fouud for the stockmen was made certain by the report of the. statistician of the state of Iowa, for y04. which showed that the beef trust had directly caused 45 i-ank failures in farming districts of Iowa by throttling the livestock Industry. Immediate steps will be taken to enforce the Injunction and a rise In livestock prices Is expected. . Railroad Must Robbed and Killed. Albany, Ore., Jan. 30.

Jefferson Myers, president of the Oregon commission for the 1906 fair, has made a report of progress to the governor, in which he shows that there will be a balance of about I860 In the JS0.O0O set apart for the St. Louis exposition, after all bills are paid: and a balance of $79,044.9, be sides the 350.000 for a memorial building, after all the structures built and In the course of construction are pad for. They Include the adminis tration group, forestry building and building for machinery, electricity. transportation, agricultural palace, liberal arts building, auditorium and mining building- This over $79,000 w'lll make a good working surplus, and there win not ne neea oi iui ther appropriation. loons, gamblers 'and rough element could combine In the election of a mayor and council and open the town to vice. In spite of the wishes of the moral element In the community. The same kind of an amendment -to the charter of Freewater haa been re ceived by the Umatilla county dele gation. , . While there is no possibility of an amendment passing the legislature, this move yet shows the Intention of the law-breaking element. Every extreme step Is to be taken to make Pendleton an open town. The death struggle is now In this state between the moral and Immoral forces, and if the law-abiding element ' In every community will urge the legislature to pass the bill making gambling a felony, the tendency toward Increas ed vices may be checked. The legis lature needs and desires the sentiment of the people on this matter and If the moral and law-abiding element remains silent and only the law breakers speak. It will seem that there Is no sentiment In favor of the antl-gambllng law. Tha object of the amendment to the charters of Pendleton and Freewater la to make It easier to conduct open gambling and to make vice more brasen. From past experiences In Oregon the gamblers and their bosses have found It much easier to deal with mayors and city councils of their own choosing than to deal with pros ecuting attorneys and courts selected by the people at large. If the people desire better morals and a decrease of vice, they will pro test against this amendment In no uncertain tone of voice.

RATES ARE FIXED TO PORTLAND FAIR FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS FROM MISSOURI RIVER Trnas)ortatlon Companies Decido Upon Fares From Eastern Points to Iewls and Clark Fair Fare Front Chicago Will Be $56.50, St. IjoiiIh 4S2.M, Omaha. St, Paul and Kansas City $IS If Returning by Way of California, Sll Extra Added. San Francisco, Jan. 30. The over land railroad officials have decided upon rates direct from Chicago and St Louis and all Missouri river towns to the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland next summer. From Omaha, Kansas City, St. Paul and all other Missouri river points a round trip rate of 4B to the expo sition has been made. This Is 85 less than the regular one way fare and Is not good by way of California. The roads between the Missouri river and Chicago and St. Louis have decided upon a single fare for the round trip. This means $11.50 added to the $45 mentioned for the Chicago round trip fare, or $56.50. Tha round trip from St. Louis will be $7.60 added to $46, or $53.60. On February 17 next the passenger officials are to decide upon round trip rates to Portland via California, either going or returning. It is very likely that an extra charge of $11 will be made. In that case the rate from Missouri river points via California to Portland would be $46 added to the $11 for the round trip, or $56. The Chicago and St. Louis rates men tloned will be similarly Increased If the California route Is taken. FRANK WILLIS IS Body Has Lain for a Month in a Closet at the Milton Cemetery.
