Monmouth Normal Has Been Main

Salem. At a recent meeting of the
xccutivc committee ot the normal
cliool board of regents, President
csslcr, of the Oregon State Normal
School, at Monmouth, was present
nd assured the committee that suf-
icicnt funds hid been secured to
place the school on a maintenance
basis until January 1. when it is ex
pected the legislature will appropriate
enough to maintain all three normal
schools properly. The Monmouth
school has not received state support
or several years, having been main
tained by subscriptions from the busi
ness men of Monmouth and neighbor
ins: towns.
A meeting of the normal school
board of regents will be held at Salem
next month for the purpose of making
recommendations to the legislature
or the support of the three normal
schools the Eastern Oregon Normal
School, at .Weston, the Southern Ore
gun Normal School, at Ashland, and
he Oregon State Normal School, at
Monmouth. The board at a meeting
in June decided it should recommend
he Central Oregon State Normal
School, at Drain, to be discontinued,
nd consequently that school will not
open this fall.
Quality, Not the Price.
The Dalles Apple growers of this
icinity and of Hood River are not very
much alarmed over the prosiects of an
advance in apple rates to eastern points,
as the eoncenxus of opinion is that as
ho apples of this vicinity and Hood
River are principally shipped to New
lork and other far eastern points for
consumption by the wealthy class, that
a few cents additional per box will not
mako any difference. The Oregon ap-
les are carefully packed and selected
and are much in demand by the wealthy
picures of the east, while the poorer
dosses buy the cheaper Minnesota,
Michigan and New York apples, which
ire not selected, and which are sold in
arrels, and are not selected or packeJ
and are not worth so much.

Pennsylvania Court Holds Commodity
Clause Invalid.
Philadelphia, Sept. 11. Declaring it
to be drastic, harsh and unreasonable,
and an invasion of the rights of the
states and therefore repugnant to the
constitution, the United States Circuit
court for the Eastern district of Penn-
Ivania today dismissed the suits of
the Federal government to enforce the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
railroad act against the anthracite coal
carriers of this state. Judges George
ray and George II. Dallas filed opin
ions dismissing the suits and Judge
oseph lumncton dissented, but did
not file an opinion.
The commodities clause prohibits
railroad companies to transport in in
terstate commerce any. article or com
modity manufactured, mined or pro
duced by them or under their author
ity. The case was argued in June,
nited States Attorney General liona-
parte delivering the principal argu
ment for the government. The effect
of the commodities clause, if constitu
tional, would be to confine the mining
of anthracite coal by the railroads to
that for use in Pennsylvania only, and
compel the railroads to sell all the
mining property they are interested
either directly or indirectly. It is
almost certain that the case will be
appealed directly to the United States
Supreme court.

UNEMPLOYED RIOT.
Glasgow Socialists Incite Thousands
of Men to Violence.
Glasgow, Sept 11. Following a
night of rioting and fighting between
mob of 7,000 unemployed and mount
ed and foot police, this city today pre
sents the spectacle of a town in the
throes of a siege.
Hundreds of citizens are guarding
their property with firearms, fearing a
recurrence of the outbreak, and terror
stricken women and children have been
compelled to stay indoors all day. -
Scores of houses are damaged, win

deserted but for a strong police guard

fashion.

them to action by violent speeches
made another onslaught on the aristo
cratic section of the city. They raided
several Bhops at the foot of the hills
overlooking the weilthy quarter of the
city and started to pillage the houses
of tho wealthy residents.
The police, aided by the household
ers, fought off the rioters until dawn,
when they were dispersed. The num
ber of injured is unknown. It is esti
mated that there are between 25,000
and 30,000 unemployed in the city at

Senator and Democrats Favor
Georgs F. Cottrill.
Seattle, Sept 10. Election returns,
although late last night still incom
plete, indicate that Samuel G. Cos- -grove,
of Pomeroy, a second choice se
ection, will receive the nomination for
governor of the state of Washington.
Cragrove's lead on second choice votes,
5fwi the split on first choice votes be
tween Albert E. Mead and Henry Me
lt ride, together with first choice votes
divided between five other candidates
in the fi'ld, have brought about a situ
ation peculiar in Washington state
politics.
The Utest returns from all parts ox
the statti indicate that when the count
is completed Costrrove may have a nlu-
rafity or ilrict- leading both
Mcltridu and Mead. Up to nearly mid
night the count showed McBride lead
ing Congrove, but belated returns from
remote country districts are adding to
Cosgrove's total. Mead is third in the
race.
Washington's new direct primary
law has eliminated Senator Ankeny
from the race for senator. Wesley L.
Jones, by a majority reaching well inte
the thousands, has been given the nom
ination and the number of Republicans
who are pledged to vote always for the
candidate of their choice receiving the
highest popular vote, precludes tho
possibility of the election of Ankeny
by the next legislature.
From the best analysis of the tabula
tions at hand, the following Republi
can ticket is nominated:
