A large hall "has been secured and there will be seating capacity enough to accommodate several hundred. It is said that a large number of Port land sports will accompany their man to Hermlston to witness the bout. The attendance will also be swelled by the exodus of fans from Pendleton on that night Fast preliminaries have been ar ranged, Will Kennedy, a brother of the main attraction, and Owen See horn, being matched for a finish bout. They met once before and neither was able to down the other and as a result there is considerable rivalry between them. STATE HOARD VIEWS WORK.

If present plans carry the corner stone for the Eastern Oregon branch hospital will be laid about April 1 and at that time the program will be arranged by the Pendleton Commer cial club. During the visit of the board to the city today the matter was put-up to President-elect J. F. Robinson of the club who has prom ised to take the matter up at once. Plans for the corner stone were brought to the city today by State Architect Knighton and they are now in the possession of C. A. Mur phy," superintendent. Tho corner stone will be placed at the northeast corner of tho main administration, or central building. On the stone will be a tablet bearing the names of the members of the state hoard and the state architect. A copper box, con taining suitable souvenirs will 'be placed inside the stone when it is deposited. the formation of the steel trust by J. P. Morgan and company, which framed the combination, the report says, the steel trust books show. A total of $60,300,000 was paid the Morgan concern for , financing the syndicate that organized the trust. Of thfl 862,500,000 was a promoters' profit, while the remaining $6,800,000 was the profit on a bona fide conver sion scheme. In the first nine years of Its existence, the corporation earned net, the report says, $1,029, 685,390. instead of $980,000,311. as is set forth in the reports of the cor poration officials., This amounts to a net profit of $13 a ton on finished steel products. Eighty per cent of the steel pro ducing properties of the country are dominated by the corporation, the report says, although E. H. Gary and H. C. Frick, told President Roosevelt when they absorbed the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in 1907, that the trust controlled and desired to control less than sixty per cent of the steel business. Even in making its profits, the re port charges, the steel corporation restrains competition by concentrat ing the greater part of Its profits In Its operation on raw materials and semi-finished poducts. while confining the finished products plants to a low profit This operates, says the re port, to keep the price of raw ma terials up, to the advantage of the corporation and the detriment of In dependent competitors. j The report showed In detail the dividends paid by the subsidiary companies of the steel trust during the first nine yeSrs of its existence. The total amount was J753.134.3S6. 53. The facts that the subsidiary companies, operating in raw material, made greater dividends than the fin ished products concerns was cited to show that the corporation's kept the price of raw material up to the em barrassment of competitors, A voluminous argument fu four teen sections to prove the steel trust is a combination in restraint of trade was' presented to the conclusions of the report. "One hundred and eighty one pre viously competing corporations were concentrated under the control of a single holding security company known as the United States Steel cor poration." Among these concerns the report puts forth are owning and mining now restrained from competition in the salo of ore, railroads, combined to prevent competition, blast furnace plant, the combination of which elim inated competition in the sale of pig iron, coal and coke companies and other formerly competing concerns. Tho greater concerns In the iron and steel trade, the report says, were acquired at vastly inflated values due to the superior effect given the mer ger by the elimination of the corpor ation of these companies. . "Other acquisitions were made In related lines of business," the report said, "for which no explanation ap pears except the visible consequence, tho removal of such concerns from the independent field." This was the case, according to the report, In the absorption of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron company. In discussing the corporation's control of ore the report asserts that In all, 2.600.000,000 tons out of 4, 462,940,000 tons of. available ore in the country is under the control of the trust. dwellings for the superintendents, and. other employes of the branch hospital has not yet been fully worked out. The old Oliver home will he used temporarily and It is probable that the tract opposite the asylum and across the railroad track will be util ized for dwelling purposes. The asylum is to be heated through the use of crude oil and the power house will be supplied with oil by gravity from a tank by the side of the railroad. Of the members of the hoard here today Governor West will return to Portland on the decayed No. 17 this afternoon. Other members of the board and officials will probably go to Portland via Walla Walla later In the evening. Xcw Plan for Budget. While here today Governor West discussed a new plan which the .board proposes to make use of in regard to the budget for the various state insti tutions. He regards as wholly un businesslike and unsatisfactory the methods used in the past in connec tion with supplying funds for the various state institutions. This 'be cause under that plan the members of the legislature are given the im possible task of appropriating funds correctly without having proper knowledge with which to act Judici ously. "The ways and means com mittee Is often criticised," says the governor, "when as a matter of fact the fault Is with the system followed, not with the committee. : This year the board proposes to ask, about Sept. 1, for estimates from the heads of all the state institutions, as to he needs of the establishments under their control. These estimates for the maintenance and betterment of the instltuions will be turned in to the state board and thoroughly con sidered. After this has been done and the estimates duly trimmed and revised publication will then be made In the. newspapers of the wants of Ihe various institutions. In this way- there will be discussion and Investi gation of the needs of the institutions in advance of the legislative session. In the view of the board this plan will work greatly for the general good and It will make the task ii easier for the ways and means com mlttee and other legislators. The governor points out that In the past the committee has usually been stag' gered by the size of the requests made upon it and has felt disposed to slash appropriations without much regard to whether or not they were slashing in the right place. The new plan will look to spending the right amount of money where it is Justly needed and to working economy where economy will not be poor bus iness policy. Suit Over a Pin no, .
