CORN OUTLOOK IN KANSAS.
Ihiuhlt. the Yearly Average Yield Pre
dicted by Smiley.
Kansas promises to produce this
year almost double Its yearly average
yield of corn. The average annual
yield for the last 20 years has been
147.856.000 bushels. E. F. Smiley,
secretary of the Kansas Grain Dealers'
association, whose business It Is to
look up crop conditions, intimates the
yield for the year at 275.000,000. This
Is 2,000,000 greater than the largest
crop Kansas ever produced. In 1889
It raised 273,000,000 bushels, but got
only about 15 cents a bushel for It.
Much of the early corn has been
matured already. But it will take a
couple of more rains within the next
20 days to ripen the late crop, which
Is the big yield of the state. The
weather Is Ideal for corn. The nights
are warm. No part of the state Is
suffering for lack of moisture. Only
the most unfavorable climatic condi
tions can cut the crop below the 200,
000,000 mark. The heat crop Is es
timated at about 70,000,000 bushels
by the Grain Dealers' association and
the railroads. The wheat acreage Is
5.828.948, about the same as last year.
WALLA WALLA GAVE $4000.

"We feel that Walla Walla county
has made an excellent Investment,"
Dr. Blalock said this afternoon. "We
have $1500 remaining In the fund and
we will probably use all of this but
$500. We desire to make an excep
tionally strong showing at the latter
end of the fair. We do not want to
be niggardly In the matter of money
when it comes t- entertaining visitors
at the Washington building during

T
NORMAL'S CLOSING NOT
NOT FAULT OF TOWN,
Ioynl Citizens Mudn a Horciilnnenn
Effort to Keep the School Golnjr
Weston I,em!er States the Situation
Clearly ami Ably Appeals to the
Good Sense of the People to Sus
tain the Normal School Idea.
The closing of the Weston Normal
school Is not the fault of the gallant
and loyal support of the people of that
little town. They did more than could
reasonably have been expected. The
following logical editorial from the
Weston leader states the case right:
It should be distinctly undei stood
by the state at large that the failure
of the Eastern Oregon State Normal
school to proceed Is not the fault of
the community of Weston.
It Is a state school not a Ivnl
school. Yet this locality came to the
aid of the Institution. We could not
succeed In meeting the views of the
regents, who demanded that $10,000
cash should be In the bank ready for
Its use. before the school would be
allowed to proceed; but In the minds
of many an ample sum was ra sed
to continue the school from Septem
ber until June, when the million -dollar
appropriation bill will come be
fore the people under the referendum.
It Is not the Loader's purpose lo
criticize the regents, who decided to
close the school by a vote of four to
one, the minority being represented by
O. W. Procbstel of this city. In their
view thoy were already personally lia
ble for about $5000 used In conducting
the school up to last June, and they
felt responsible for any further obl'
gations that might be Incurred.
They fear that the appropriation
bill will be defeated, and that In the
present attitude of the public mind an
anti-normal legislature will be chosen
and will refuse to pay all claims. This
fear was strongly expressed at the
meeting and had such weight that the
board decided to "stand from under."
It was the courso dictated by caution
and prudence not by hope and en
thusiasm. It was a severe blow to the Normal;
to President French, whose unswerv
ing devotion to the school has been
expressed by self-sacrifices that will
never be known to the public: to the
Weston people, who have done much
for the Normal have given It valua
ble property and kept It alive at the
time of the senatorial hold-up.
The Leader knows, and the people
of Weston know, and all those ac
quainted wih the institution know.
that the recent prospects of the Nor
mal were the brightest In Its history.
Its management Inst year under Pres
ident French was such as to give It
the highest public confidence and the
loyalty of its faculty and students. An
attendance of 150 In the normal de
partment was expected for the com
ing year.
Practically all of Its students were
coming back and there were scores of
letters from others who sought en
rollment. A senior class of at 30
members would have graduated next
June. The Normal was upon Us feet,
equipped with one of the best school
plants In the Northwest, ready for the
best work It had ever done.
All this fruition all this hope and
promise was shattered by the refer
endum, and the regents were com
pelled. In their view of the matter, to
submit to the blow. Monmouth, Ash
land and Drain, It Is said, will con
tinue. More optimism obtains possi
bly, among the boards In these locali
ties. It is Improbable, at least, that
any of tese communities did more
than Weston which raised, counting
the teachers' notes, over $8000.
Under the plant at first proposed,
the sum of $11,500 was raised In two
year notes. Put the signers had been
assured by the canvassing committee
that In all probability they would not
have to pay these notes, and the re
gents rejected the collateral, believing
that the signers of the notes could
hold them individually liable If things
went wrong and the school's obliga
tions were ultimately repudiated by
the state.
Let us not grow discouraged. There
Is hope yet. The appropriation bill
may carry if It Is defeated, disgrace
and shame should be Oregon's portion
among her civilized and progressive
slaters and the Eastern Oregon State
Normal school revived with ample
funds to carry Its work forward.
Or. In the event of Its defeat, there
may be a readjustment by the next
legislature looking to tne permanent
support of a normal school In Eastern
Oregon, which needs and Is entitled
to such an Institution. In this event
It Is unlikely that the state's fine plant
at Weston should be abandoned.
Let us think on these things, and
not despair. Meanwhile let each one
of us do yoeman work for tnat appro,
priatlon bill.
DO MINERS SET THE FIItES?
Accused of So Dot. . by Special Agent
State Land Board.
C. J. Munson. s. eclal agent of the
land board, who was In the city Wed
nesday, was not all at hesitant In giv
ing it as his belief to the Boise states.
man that the fires that have for
weeks been devastating the forests of
the northern part of the state were
of Incendiary origin. He further held
that he was confident that the start
Ins of the fires w. s done by miners
and prospectors.
It appears that a good portion of
the territory where t.ie fires have
been raging Is strongly mineralized In
addition to having a wealth of timber
above ground. Soma of the land has
been taken up under the timber and
stone act and patented. Other por
tions have been entered but not pat
ented as yet The miners and pros
pectors have an eye to the mineral
wealth that lies under the surface of
the ground, and they are naturally
averse to seeing the prospects pass
out of their reach, for once patented
they have no lights In the territory,
however rich may be the mineral re
sources of the country.
Mr. Munson, In support of his be
WESTON
lief that the fires were started de
slgnedly, says that at one time no less
than six fires broke out In one portion
of the North Idaho timber region at a
time, and these six In a row about a
mile apart. Further, they were so set
as to get the full benefit of the wind
that was blowing at the time, a stiff
breeze driving them directly to the
heaviest timber.
Mr. Munson savs that as yet the
state has lost but little as a result
of the timber fires. The losses have
fallen most heavily upon the timber
companies and Individuals. Ho now
has a force of 60 men at work com
bating the Bprcad of the flames and
believes that If no more fires are
started, the last of the destructive
fires will be put out within a short
time.
KOIllH.l) SMITHSONIAN I't'XI).
Goyci'mnh iiI Clerk to Re Tried for
StenlliiK $16,000,
Washington, Aug. 12. As the time
for the presentation to the grand Jury
o fthe case of William W. Karr, the
Smithsonian Institute clerk charged
with the embezzlement of $46,000 ap
proaches, the amount of his reputed
shortage appears to be Increasing.
Treasury experts who have been go
ing over his books were long baffled
by the cleverness with which he Is
said to have covered up his tracks.
His case will be brought before the
September grand Jury.
Of the sum alleged to have been
embezzled It Is said but $400 was
government funds, and this has been
repaid by Kan's bondsmen.
The funds which Karr Is charged
with converting to his own use con
sisted of money sent to the bureau of
international exchanges, which was
operated by direction of congress
through the Smithsonian, fees being
charged for Its services. Shortly be
fore the expiration of the last fiscal
year this fund, which should have
consisted of about $50,000, was found
to be practically exhausted. Karr Is
said to have admitted appropriating
this fund.
