ending June 30, Portland shipped in
the neighborhood o f 3,000,000 mo
bushels o f wheat than was sent from
Puget sound,, while from there not quite
1,000,000 more barrels o f flour w

those from Puget sound were 4,164,481
bushels; to the orient, South America
and A frica, Portland shipped no wheat,
Puget sound sending out 316,286 bush­
els. California wheat shipments from

Eugene— The Eugaoe-Siualaw rail­
road, which has long been talked of,
appears now to soon be a reality. The
proposition Nr build the road has
reached a point where the promoters o f
the enterprise feel that the building of
the line is a certainty. The Lane

incorporated a few weeks ago to build

I t is the intention to offer fo r sale to
the people o f Eugene and vicinity at
lehat $160,000 o f the stock o f the Lane
County Asset company, the funds to be
used in building the first section o f 20
miles o f the road. When this has been
accomplished it is proposed to turn all
the assets over to tbe Eugene A West­
ern Railw ay Company, issuing stock­
holders tbe same amount o f stock in the
railroad company as they have paid for
in the asset company and to issue and
sell the bonds o f the railway company
for tbe purpose o f completing the road

Klamath Falls— I t took the jury just
25 minutes to find a verdict fo r the de­
fendant in the Kelley-Arant damage
suit, last o f the cases resulting from
the criminal prosecution o f Jay A rant,
who was indicted fo r the larceny o f a
calf more than tw o years ago.
A rant
was tw ice tried on a charge o f larceny,
the first trial resulting in a disagree­
ment, while the second acquitted him.
Three cases resulted over tbe ownership
o f the calf. Tbe ca lf involved in the
litigation was worth approximately
$10. Tb e money expended in litigation
will aggregate close to $10,000, and o f
this amount the taxpayers o f the coun­

S t Petersburg, July I t . — The Rus­
sian expedition from Baku whieh.land­
ed at Enseil, a Persian seaport on the
Caspian yesterday, is made up o f 1,000
Russian and 800 Cossack cavalry, with
guns.
Despite tbe correct attitude
maintained by the Russians, the natives
are demonstrating their unfriendliness.
The unopposed advance o f 8ipbidar,
the leader o f the revolutionists, and
Sardarasad, the chief o f the Bakhtian
tribesmen, towards Teheran, is taken
here to mean that General Llakhoff,
the governor o f Teheran, considers bis
force inadequate to engage in a general
battle, and that he has decided to em­
ploy his Cossack brigade merely as s
guard over the life o f the shah.
Persona w ell informed here regard
the entrance o f the revolutionists into
Teheran as a foregone conclusion, while
the deposition o f the shah, which sev­
eral times has Been mooted, w ill now
arouse no surprise.

Boy Brought Here by Peary Will fr y

New. York, July 12. — Separated
from his native home fo r 18 years,
Mens W allses, an Eskimo boy brought
to this country with five o f his people
by Commander Peary from the Polar
regions, sailed today on the Red Cross
line steamship Rosalind, fo r S L Johns,
N. F., whence he w ill be conveyed to
his horns in Greenland.
Before Mens sailed, the A rctic club
extracted from him a written agree­
ment that he would not again return to
this country and that while in Green­
land he would not bears arms agsinst
the Peary expedition. This was due,
it is believed, to the fact that Mene,
angered at the attitude o f Peary and
the A rctie club in refusing to take
him back to Greenland, once safe in
bis native home, might seek revenge
for tbe treatment he received while in
this country.
Mene said he would organise an ex­
pedition o f Eskimos to find the North
pole.

Philadelphia, July 12.—*Both vertical
and Spencerian handwriting have been
tabooed in tbe public schools o f this
city, and after this a uniform method
o f penmanship w ill be adopted.
Numerous complaints have been re­
ceived from business men wbo can’ t
decipher the w ritin g o f their clerks and
applicants for jobs wbo have learned
tbeir peculiar style o f chiragraphy in
tbe public schools.
For some time Superintendent Brum­

unify and improve the writing, and
this plan was adopted at a meeting o f
the elementary schools committee.
A free, legible style o f w riting,
slightly slanting to the right, w ill be
taught. Students, no matter bow ad­
vanced they may think their flourishes,
w ill have to begin again with pot hooks
and eipbers.
According to the new code, writing
w ill be taught like calisthenics or a
manual exercise.
The teacher w ill
clap her hands and count, and the en­
tire class w ill make letters with books
and tails and crosses simultaneously.
The exercise is intended to g ive a free
mechanical movement to the arm and
increase the speed.
