Why arc the schools of higher learn ing In Washington more popular than those of Oregon? That this Is true, and that the educational institutions of Oregon's sister slate are better re garded than her own by those who go away to school from Pendleton, is shown by the list below. Out of 35 or 40 who have left here this fall for tho purpose of obtaining a higher educa tion. 23 have entered schools In Wash ington, while but a paltry woven have enrolled In Oregon Institutions. The following Is a fairly complete list of the young men and women of Pendle ton who are now taking advanced work at other places: Whitman college, probably more because of lis nearness it htm anything else, has more onmls-d from here than any of the other schools tills year. Ajnong those who are attend in there are Kffie Smith. Elva Tur ner, Mnry Host. Pearl Porter, Mabel MoDlll. Ora'.e Crooked, Miner Yates, William Unveil, Algernon Fee. Oeorge Strand and James Hill, of Ihls num ber the first four nre members of last year's high school graduating class. Next to Whitman the University of Washington at Seattle, leads In the number of students enrolled from this place. Why it Is that more should go there than to the Untverslly of Ore gon seems strange, as it would seem that state patriotism would keen them at home. However, the explanation Is prohablv found In the tnrt that the U of W. being near Seattle Is much more advantageously located than Is the T. of O. Also. It is a larger and better equipped school than the Ore gon Institution. Those 'from Pendleton who are now at the U. 'of W. are Karl Horie. Fanchlon Horle. Fred Vincent. Fred Ilartnuin and Joe Kennedy. Aside from those Ornee Oliver left vesterdav for the purpose of entering, and Roland Oliver, a graduuto from lb llebral arts course, haves today to enter the law course. m.. ..u.iteinir are known to have from here to the University of rrrcgon this year: Dell MoCarty, Ed gar Smith, Josephine Cameron, Jen nie Pern' i"d Olen Arnsplger. Other inbuilt Ennllnicnts. Aside from those registered at the three schools mentioned above, there nre quite a few scattered among other schools of the coast and n few In ii... e:ii Dale Slusher Is at Stanford ni.,- Herbert Hoesch Is attending the naval academy at Annapolis: E, C, Kstahrook Is studying In the V xi A school In Chicago; K. B, Waffle Is again attending the modl eut enlleue In Portland: Harry Taylor Is taking a denial course In San Fran ..on- lleaa Ferguson Is taking i course at (he Portland academy this year. and Myrtle Dlzney Is again at the Washington Agricultural college nt Pullman. Two young ladles rrom here are attending the normal school at F.llensburg. Wash. Hlla Rowland and Mary Williams. Also, there are two In Brunei Hall. Spokane Sibyl Cloplon and Elizabeth Van Antwerp. Every Effoct Huh a Cnnse. In view of the great predominance of the Washington schools over those of this stale In regard to attendance, the question naturally arlsea na to -the cause. There certainly can be no doubt but that state patriotism would naturally tend to cause students to attend schools of this stale were there no other Inducements to overcome this. That there must be some ad vantages enjoyed by the Washington schools seems evident. In tho case of Whitman this might be attributed to Its nroxlmlty. and with the University of Washington to (he fact that It Is near a. largo city. Another reason why Washington schools are getting the students Is probably 'that state hiis not been so 4 More Money for Religion. Pittsburg. Pa., Sept- 22. The Standard Oil company raised the price of crude oil five to ten cents per barrel today. If tho present price Is maintained eight months, Rockefeller will "come out ahead" on all his more recent theological endow : T niggardly with Its appropriations, but instead haB tried to develop Its schools Instead (it abandoning union of thorn. Especially Is this true of the normal HchoolR. In the legislature lost win ter the argument was made by the friends of the normal schools that Washington spout more than twice as much as Oregon on Its normals the preceding year. Probably this fact has something to do with the fact that Pendleton young ladles are now at tending the normal school at Ellens burg, which Is apparently prospering, while the doors of the Weston nor mal are closed. longshoremen win.

There was no formal declaration fin fusion by either convention, but an understanding existed among the leaders of both. Of the nominees, Messrs. Hastings and Llghtner nre democrats and Mr. Cole a populist. The feature ot the democratic gathering was the speech of William J. Bryan In which he bid his party associates in tho stale farewell for a year nt least on the eve of his depart ure for an extended tour of the world. Mr. Brynn commended Pres ident Roosevelt for what ho declared to be his advanced at and on the prin ciples long advocated by the demo crats. On these principles he hoped every democrat would uphold the president. A resolution which enused a stir In tho convention and which was promptly adopted, denounced the Rockefeller gift to the University of Nebraska; criticized the regent for accepting It and demanding the turn of the gift to the donor.

Around haunts In this city where I: is wont for politics to be diacumed by men whose ears are turned for sounds of political purport, and who know the same when they hear It, a good topic of conversation today haa been the icc.nt farewell meeting given in Portland to Senator Fullun: the one which was attended by vari ous stalwarts from over tho state, In cluding W. J. Furnish and Circuit Judge Ellis of this city, and which was subjected to the rude glare of 1 ubliclty through Portland's morning dally. While all of the party declared to the Interviewer that by no means was the meeting a prearranged one. 'and showed how absurd would be such miniiosltion. It Is nevertheless be- uosonhlstlcated ' ones that there was something to the casual meeting after all. In fact.

However, it Is not thought that the federal judgeship was the only topic .li.MUs.sed by the high and mighty leaders, for there Is another matter In which they have more or less pass ing interest. It Is the matter of the next representative ln congress from the second district to take the place w hich It seems can hardly be held any longer by John Newton Williamson. There are some who are suspicious that the above little matter was more talked of at the recent meeting than that of the federal Judgeship, which seems to be somewhat off their hands. Also it is said that the gentlemen from this city probably had a plan for the settlement of the congressional prob lem and that they submitted it to the j senator for his consideration. How ; ever this may he. It Is certain that Set : among the friends of Judge and for mer Congressman Kilts mere has been considerable talk lately advo cating his fitness for another term.
