SATURDAY, 3IARCH 16, 1907. 111 Hi NO FEAR FROM VOTERS I'rieiids of Institution Willing to Go Before People of Stale on Plan for Settlement of Normal School Question. ASHLAND. Or., Jlarch 15. (Special.) Naturally there is much interest in this portion of the state in the discussion of the normal school question in the state press, during: and since the iate legisla tive session. The latest proposition ad vanced by certain of the officials of the Monmouth Normal, through The Orepro nian a few days ago. in which the plan is announced of initiating a bill for the final settlement of the normal school question in this state by the people at the next state election in 1909. meets with no objection here, as far as known, from those connected with the management of the Southern- Oregon State Normal, or its loyal supporters throughout this section of th state. The relations between the people and the school at Ashland are remarkably harmonious and they point with pride to it as an institution and look upon it as a fixture which neither the Initiative or referendum is likely to disturb. Their intense loyalty to it was sufficiently ex pressed the only time the issue was ever advanced. via: when the referendum was invoked on the general appropriation bill of the 1905 legislature, which was ac cepted as a challenge against the normal school appropriations of that Legislature. At that election Jackson County rolled up a majority of 1446 in support of the ap propriations. In Josephine County the normal school was made an issue at practically every polling-place and won by a majority of 461 votes, while the candidate for the Legislature who made the fight against Jt was defeated by a like majority. The six counties of Coos. Curry. Klamath, Lake. Josephine and Jackson threw a majority of over 40QO votes to sustain the appropriation for the school. This splendid showing of loyalty in the large and growing section of Oregon rep resented by these counties had an in fluence upon the last Legislature, and. combined with the excellent record of the state normal at Ashland, gave it such high standing there that there was small effort, in all the anti-normal agi tation that was engendered, to deny recognition to the school here. It is felt now that the outlook for the state normal at Ashland is brighter than ever, and hopes are high for building it up still bigger and better and with an attendance of students, already embrac ing representatives from half the coun ties of the state, drawn from a still larger scope of the great and grow ing state. The stat normal at Ashland, says its particular friends, will not hesitate to go before the people under the initiative proposal eomin.gr from the authorities of the Monmouth school. No charge of be ing a local high school in any sense of the term can be successfully lodged xgainst it. It is si tun ted in eay access oC an immense empire,; which is rapidly developing and growing in wealth and population and in need of Its educating influences: Us location is most beauti ful and one of the most healthful and agreeable that could be divined in Ore- gon. That all Oregon will recognize its advantages and its claims should they be brought to the test of the ballot-box again is confidently believed by its loyal friends and supporters, who extend beyond the ix great counties, immediately tributary 1o it.' and are found throughout the length and breadth of the state, and are scat tered through hundreds of public schools, where its students and graduates are ap plying the training which the state nor mal at Ashland has afforded them.

OREGON CITY, Or.. March 15. (Spe cial.) Next "Wednesday night the Council will make final consideration of the ordi nance compelling all wires on Main street, between Eleventh and the Basin, to be placed underground before March 1. 1908.

BOISE. Idaho, March Id. (Special.) The United States grand jury had three more witnesses before it today. Two of them were Lewiston men, S. R. Fitzger ald, a timber cruiser, and Charles Carry. The other witness was Norman Jackson, who was chief clerk of the Land Board under Governor Morrison. There is noth ing to indicate for what Jackson was called, but it Is possible It had something to do with land selections for the state in the Lewiston district. One of the charges of long standing is that William Dwyer, employed by the state to make selections In sections to be thrown open to entry under the provision giving the state 60 days' preference, selected worth less land for the state and then put others on the good selections. What Jackson may know about that is not known. F. H. Hooper, of Lewiston, is also here to appear before the jury. Three of the witnesses have something to do with lands now owned by the Barber Lumber Company. BOISE PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED Hints or Frauds in Reclamation Work Not Believed in Idaho. BOISE, Idaho, March 15. (Special.) Much surprise is felt here over the news received from Washington that Colonel A. R. Greene, special inspector for the Interior Department, has made a report reflecting on D. W. Ross, supervising engineer of 1 the, reclamation service. Colonel Greene came here in January, and during his stay here he did not see Ross or any other of the reclamation engi neers, excepting F. C. Horn, to whom he talked for a short time. Those who know Mr. Ross best are satisfied the whole matter will fail to pieces so soon as an Impartial investigation shall be made. Mr. Ross- courts the fullest possible inquiry, and the same is true of D. R. Hubbard, of the firm of Hubbard A Carlson, who are building one bank of the Deer Flat reservoir. SPECIAL AGENTS ACTIVE Valuable Tracts Rave Been Secured by Stockmen, Thus Excluding Settlers From Their Nat ural Heritage. BURNS. Or.. March 13. (Special.) There -has been considerable investiga tion of alleged land frauds in the Burns Land Difctrict by Government agents, who found out that the timber land is not the only real estate of Uncle Sam'i that is being looked after by the land grabber. In this district the desert land is re ceiving the most attention by the large corporations and tho settlers. Thou sands of acres of as fine grain land as can be found in the state have'been taken up as desert land, and proved up, it is alleged, without complying with the law. no effort being made to irrigate the soil so as to produce an agricultural crop. Several desert claims have been patented in Harney County which are held by large stock companies that are located on tunning creeks, where, by turning the water over the land, a first-cUss crop of wild hay is harvested. Settlers who have come here in the past few years have been taking desert and homestead claims together, claim ing one would produce an agricultural crop without Irrigation and the other had to have water to make it even fit for pasture. The Government Is holding up pat ents on thousands of acres of land that have been taken by settlers and large stock companies as desert land, and investigations- will be made by special agents. The prospects are that the patents will be rejected and the land will go back .o the Government, which will mean a greatly increased popula tion if individuals are permitted to file on the lands.

HOOD RIVER, March 15. (Special.) C. B. Aitchison. of Portland, member of the Oregon Railroad Commission, arrived here today. Mr. Aitchison was unaccom panied by the other Commissioners and spent his time in getting acquainted with shippers and making inquiries into mat ters pertaining to his duties. When asked about the proposed investigation of rail road rates here ho said: - The statement that there would be a meeting of the State Railroad Commission here to inquire into railroad rates is a mistake. There has been no complaint to the commission in regard to railroad rates at Hood River. My visit here is purely informal and the other members of the commission will not come to Hood River at present. I am here to get acquainted with the territory and make an inspection of railroad conditions. Un less a complaint of abuses by the rail roads is lodged with the commission we can take no- cognizance ' of it provided there is no violation of the state laws governing railroad matters. So far. I have not found anything wjitch would lead me to believe that this is the case." Mr. A-itch.son paid a visit to the offi cials of the Mount Hood Railroad Com pany and made some inquiries regarding the condition in which stations were kept. He also inspected the improvements the O. R. & N. is making here and held a conference with several large shippers, which he said contained nothing of inter est to the public. One of Ills inquiries was about the shortage of cars. Inci dentally he -mentioned, that he owned some property at Hood River and would Inspect it while here. Tomorrow the commission meets at Dallas and he left for that point this evening. University of California Finances. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, Cal.. March 15.
