ocrmit, to make the "Oregon Week-
" the university newspaper, a semi-
weekly instead of a weekly. The
chancre, if made, will probably take
place about the time of the Christmas
vacation, bince the number ot stu
dents in the university has become so

abundant and many stories are crowd
ed out each week on account of lack
of space. Earl Kilpatrick, of La

coast will be made by the new trans
continental tariffs that are to go into
effect January 1. All points on the
Pacific coast between San Diego, Cal.,
and Vancouver. B. C. will be effected
by the changes. It is said that the
tendency will be to increase commod
ity rates under the new tariff. Some
increases as high as 10 per cent are
intended, although the average will be
from 5 to 10 cents on the hundred.
Class rates, it is said, will be slightly
reduced.
Prosperous Year for Stockmea,
Yale. With the close of a prosperous
year for farmers, cattlemen and sheep
men in southeastern Oregon, there are
abundant signs of prosperity reflected
in the growth of the towns of the dis
trict. As the gateway to the markets
for the greater part of Malheur and
l.'irney counties, Vale, the terminus of
the Malheur railroad which connects
with the Short Line at Ontario, is reap
ing the benefit of the general prosper-
ty prevailing over the territory, and
showing signs of developing into a
modern, progressive and energetic community.
Famine Threatens Klamath..
Klamath Falls. Flour is now selling
in Klamath county at .$3.20 a hundred
weight, and it is believed from the
present outlook that there will not be
enough to last until spring. It is prob
able that grain and flour will have to
be shipped into this country before next
reason s eron is ready. Wheat is now
selling at -tL.'O a hundred weight, and
oats and barley about the same. This
price is nearly double that of last year
Buying Up Light Plants.
Vale The Vale Electric Light com
pany changed hands a few days ago.
The new purchasers are the Ox Bow
people, who are diveting the Snake
river, near Huntington, across the "Ox
Bow" in order to get power for electric
light, electric railways, etc. The new
company is purchasing a number of
different plants in Eastern Oregon and
Southern Idaho. Hope Bros., of Vale,
were the former owners of the Vale
Light company.
SHIP SUGAR BEETS.
Union Sending Out an Average of 90
Tons Per Day.
Union Within a few days practical
ly all the sugar beet crop of this dis
iriet will have been gathered and
shipped to the factory at La Grande.
Last week shipments aggregating 180,
000 pounds, or 90 tons per day, were
made, and it will require a few days
more to clear the fields. With the cold
nights of the last two weeks farmers
have been hurrying the crop to market
with all haste, and shipments have
been made regularly. The plant is
running at full capacity, and enough
beets are now on hand to keep it in
operation for weeks.
It is complained generally that the
plant at La Urando cannot secure acre
ago enough of beets to keep the- fac
tory in operation long enough in a sea
sou to make the business profitable
Around this town a number of colonies
have been established, and the fields
are used almost exclusively for beet
culture, with good profits to the pro
ducer. A number of German families
have been brought in this season, and
labor is more plentiful than ever be-
rore.
Institutes in Klamath.
Klamath Falls Klamath county far
mers have formed an organization and
will conduct local institutes in the va
rious towns of the irrigated district
during the coming winter. The first
of the institutes was held at Klamath
Kails last week, at which Hon. J. W.
Bailey, state dairy and food commis
sioner, was the principal speaker, and
gave the farmers some excellent ad
vice as to the importance of dairy de
velopment. The institute was under
the auspices of the Klamath chamber
of commerce, and aroused considerable
interest and enthusiasm. As a result,
it is the purpose of the active citizens
to keep the good work going.
Improve Marshfield Mine?.
Marshfield Extensive improvements
important to Marshfield have been an
nounced by the Spokane, Yakima &
West Coast Railroad company, the Spo
kane corporation which purchased from
the Oregon Coal & Navigation com
pany the Libbv coal mine at Marsh
field, the steamer M. F. Plant and 3680
acres of land near the city. The presi
dent of the company, Colonel T). IT.
Butts, of North Dakota, and M. X.
Knuppenburg, the secretary and man
ager, of Spokane, have been here clos
ing the deal, and are preparing to im
prove the property.
Record Building Era.
Brownsville Brownsville is assum
ing metropolitan proportions. Two new
brick business blocks have been com
pleted, and fine residences are rising
on all sides. There have been more sub
stantial buildings erected during the
past year than in any previous ten
years. Brownsville's most pressing
need is train service. It takes passen
gers two days to make the trip to Port
land and return, a distance of less than
200 miles.
HAAS TAKES LIFE.
Would-Be Assassin of Heney Shoots
Himeelf in Jail.
San Francisco, Nov. 16. Morris Haas
who attempted to assassinate 1 J
Heney Saturday night, committed sin
cide by shooting himself through the
middle of his forehead with a pistol
he had concealed about his person.
It is reported by District Attorney
Langdon that Haas made a confession
and named the people who hired him
to shoot Mr. Heney, but Mr. Langdon
declares lie will not divulge the names
Haas went to bed at 8 o'clock at the
county jail, and covered up his face
with a blanket. At 8:40 a shot was heard
from his cell, and when the guards en
tered, it was found that he had rolled
out of bed and was lying dead on the
floor with a bullet-hole in his forehead
A 41-caliber single-shot derringer was
grasped in his hand. His left trouser
leg was pulled up and examination
showed a mark on his leg where the
weapon had rested while concealed in
his left shoe. Haas wore gaiters with
elastic sides, which made this possible
After he had shot Mr. Heney Haas
was searched by Police Captain Duke
Detective Burns and a police officer,
After he had been taken to the county
jail he was searched again, but at neither
time were his shoes examined. Haas
went to bed Friday night with his shoes
on and again Saturday night, and when
he was asked why he did this said that
lie would rather sleep with them on.

Rests Easy and Recovery is Assured
by Physicians.
San Francisco, Nov. 16. The con
dition of Francis J. Heney is still most
satisfactory, and the attending surgeons
report that he is making excellent prog
ress on the road to recovery. He passed
a comfortable night, sleeping most of
the time, and rested easily yesterday.
How Haas secured the pistol with
which he committed suicide is the ques
tion which is puzzling the police and
special airents of the prosecution. Lap
tain Duke says Haas had no other
weapon when arrested, and Captain
Kellv. in charee of the jail, says there
was no opportunity for a pistol to have
been passed to the prisoner in ms ceil.
Detective Burns is said to nave wor
ried some sort of admission from Haas
that he was encouraged in his threat
icainst llenev. but just bow much of a
statement was secured trom tne pris
oner before he killed himself, the pros
ecution refuses to reveal.
Although the bullet has been located
embedded in the left jaw, about an inch
in front of the ear. the surgeons have
decided not to extract it until Mr. Heney
pains more strength, as it has as yet
given no trouble.
The swelling in the throat is less man
at any time since the patient was taken
to the hospital, and he is breathing normally.
San Francisco. Nov. 16 At a meeting
f citizens Saturday night, presided over
by Mayor E. R. Taylor, resolutions were
passed declaring unwavering allegiance
to law and a determination to support
the district attorney's office in securing
the detection and conviction of crimi
nnk hicli or low. and the full protec
tion of the officers in the discharge of
their duty.
The resolution also declared that, if
the criminal law was found to be so
framed as to permit the escape of civic
malefactors, the law must be amended,
and if the lax administration of the law
was due to misinterpretation by judges,
men should be placed upon the bench
capable of construing the law.
The meeting was the most significant
that has been held since the days of the
vigilantes, and demonstrated that public
sentiment is fully aroused and deter
mined to bring an end to the demoral
izing conditions of the last two years.

San Francisco, Nov. 14. The Sat
Francisco bribery graft cases had a
dramatic climax yesterday, when As
sistant District Attorney Francis J.
Heney, who has been in charge of the
prosecution during its course of two
years, was shot and seriously wound
ed in the crowded courtroom by Mor
ris Haas, an ex-convict. The shoot
ing occurred during a brief recess in
the third trial of Abraham Ruef on
the charge of bribery, which is now. in
its 11th week.
With four uniformed policemen in
the hall, half a dozen of the prosecu
tion's special detectives within a few
feet, one of them detailed especially
as his bodyguard to see that no at
tempt was made upon his life, and
several court bailiffs md attaches
scattered about, the aggressive special
prosecutor, whose fearless and relent
les work in the exposure and prosecu
tion of graft in the municipal affairs
of this city, earned him many ene
mies, was shot in sight of 500 persons.
Mr. Heney is now in the Lane hos
pital, and the physicians say that his.
wound is not fatal. Haas is in the
city prison. I he would-be assassin is
a Jew and a saloonkeeper, who was.
drawn upon the jury panel in the sec
ond trial of Ruef, and, after having
been temporarily passed by both
sides, was exposed in a dramatic man
ner by Mr. Heney as an ex-con vict
and discharged from the jury. Haas
declared alter the shooting that Heney
had ruined his life by this exposure,
and that he had determined to kill
Mr. Heney for that reason.
Mr. Heney was leaning over on his

Ruef and his two attorneys, who
were out on the sidewalk, were
startled by the report and started for
