NO GROUNDS TO SUE BONDSMEN Treasurer Does Not Have to Account txctpt to Hn Successor, Three Year Hence. Batem, Or., Nov 21. No steps havo jet been taken to recover tho $305,000 deposited by the state troanrcr In the Titlo Guarantee A Trut company bank, or to find out whether tho stato lua any itcouiso against the surety company which was surety upon tho bond of tho atato treasurer and the trust company, Demand was made toi repayment ot the money, but there tho matter icsU , and scoma likely to rest, tor some tlmo to como. The tuicty company lias ac knowledged liability for $100,000 of tho amount, but no more. So far as known, no arrangements have been made for the payment ot even this amount. Governor Chamberlain has been ear nestly seeking eomo means of enforcing payment ot the money into the treasury, but has boen.nnable to find any way ot bringing to a legal test the question ot the liability of Steel and his bonds men. Though it is publicly known, and admitted, that the money is gone, not only from the treasury, but alio from the control of the treasurer, there is no way of bringing a suit until the treasnrtr has been called upon to turn the money over to some one elso and he fails or i e (usee to do so. It was this situation that first brought thi sugges tion tliat the state treasurer should re sign, thus making it neceeaary that he turn over the funds to his successor, in default of which a suit wonld lloagninst his bondsmen. Dot tho treasurer has nald that he will not resign, and there the matter rests. His term will expire In a little over three years, and then a suit can be brought unless the money has been paid into the treasury sooner. Oregon ntJ Washington Complaints Will Be Heard rogother.

The complaint of tho Western Ore gon Lumber Manufacturers Associa tion Is somewhat different, as It ap plies only to rates from Oregon to valltornln established by tho South ern 1'nclllc and tho Oregon & Califor nia Kallroad companies.

After setting forth tho difference between tho old rntcs and those which wero to havo gono Into effect November 1, tho complainants allege that this raise In rates Is tho result ot a conspiracy to destroy all compe tition among tho railroads operating In tho Northwest, and to exact an un reasonable compensation for the transportation of lumber, and that tho railroads, by Increasing their rates, proposo to absorb all or near ly nil or tho prorits or the lumbermen.

Bound Over to Grand Jury Political Qame Charged. Now York, Nov. 22. Justice Wyatt, In tho Court of Special Ses sions today, held William II. Hearst for tho grand Jury on tho charge of criminal libel, preferred by William Astor Chanter. S. S. Carvalho ap peared for Mr. Hearst. Tho amount of bond was fixed at $500, tho usual sura required In misdemeanor cases. Mr. Carvalho Is the general manager of Mr. Hearst's Now York newspaper Iioth Mr. Hearst nnd his bondsmen were In court when Justice Wyatt handed down his decision. They re paired to tho ofitco of District Attor ney Jcromo whllo tho ball bond was being prepared. It was later ap proved by Justlco Wyatt nnd Mr Hearst nnd his attorneys drove away In tho big red nutomobllo that had brought them to tho criminal courts building. Tho chargo against Mr. Hearst grew out of a publication In tho New York Evening Journal concerning the case of Raymond Hitchcock, tho ac tor. Mr. Chanter's name was men tioned In connection with tho article. Soveral hearings wcro had before Justice Wyatt, and Mr. Chanler posi tively denied that ho had ever been at Hitchcock's house when little girls woro there. His counsel contonded that tho publication had been made for tho purpose of Injuring politically Lieutenant-Governor Lewis Htuyvosnnt Chanler, a brother of tho complain ant, against Mr. lioarst. This was denied by Mr. Hearst's attnrnoys, who mado tho counter assertion In court that Mr. Chnnler's proceedings against Mr. Hearst woro takon In tho hope of hurting tho chances of tho Independence League ticket In the last country election. University of Oregon to Make haustlve Experiments. University of Oregon, Eugene Tho department of engineering ot the Uni versity of Oregon has begun n series ot exhnuatlvo tests on tho strength nnd Impermeability of concrete for building purposes nnd for tho construction o( dams and leaervolra. Ihe ordinary waterproof concrclo is mixed In the proportion of ono part of cement to two parts ot sand and four ot stone. If, through electrolytic notion, Induced by (ho addition ot a Bniall percentage cf clay, alum or other agents, tho approx Imato proportion can be changed to tho ratio of ono to thrto to six, it can bo easily seen that a large saving can bo made in the coat of materials, since tho cement Is tho expensive part of tho wall. Certain experiments alrcadt mado havo tended to show that concrete so mixed has both greater strength and greater Impermeability. To det( nnlne whether or not this Is true, some three or tout hundred testa will be made, ex tending through tho year, with larylng definite amounts ot ohctrolytlo agents added. Each rample will bo submitted to a water press uio test of from forty to ono hundred pounds to tho equrae Inch, in addition to tho regular com pression tests. Tho department o( chemistry is co-operating, and the most thorough work possible will bo done. O. A. McClaln and J. W. MoArthur, ot tho department of engineering, will hao chargo of the tests.
