LOCAL MEN TO SEE
WRESTLING MATCH
Local fans are becoming very much
Interested in the wrestling bout next
Saturday night between Jack Ken
nedy, the project whirlwind, and Ed
die O'Connell, the Multnomah club
instructor and champion of the Unit
ed States at the 150 pound weight.
When these two grapplers met sever
al weeks ago, neither was able to se
cure a fall and the present match
will be to a finish to determine
whether or not the championship
will come to Umatilla county.
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.

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, .
The Wise Piano House, an Idaho

for live rattlesnakes, the writer stat
ing that he has several, fangs and all,
which he has raised as pe.ts. The ma
