Cnbberley, of Stanford, frges Liberal Policy Toward Dis tricts Unable to Bear Their Share of Expenses. EUGENE. Or.. June 25. (Special.) Si hundred teachers were In Attendance to day at the convention in this city of the "Western division of the Oregon State Teachers' Association. The number who have joined the association this year Is about 100, or the largest membership In the history of the organization. The Interests of the common schools, especially the country school, was the consideration about which much, of tho day's work centered, and the very prac tical qne?tion of how to secure the needed funds for the country school wai the main point in the address this after noon on "Methods of Taxation for Edu cation" by Dr. Elwood P. Cubberley, of Stanford. Dr. Cubberley considered the condi tions and advantages of the smallest and most remote schools of vital Im portance to every interest of the state, and advocated strongly state aid to thos districts which had done all they could, but were still unable to pive the chil dren what was their due m standards o instruction and length of term. Shows Economic Disadvnntages. He showed how the inequalities of ed ucational advantages were caused by in dustrial and commercial development which distributed wealth and population In a manner that worked against the ed ucational interests of the sparsely set tled communities. This Inequality cause people to leave the farm, thus crowdin. the city, and while emphasizing still more the inequality in advantages, makes It harder to better the schools of the country with Its many other advantages for 'lie growing family. The problem Is made more difficult each year by the progress in methods w hich become more expensive and demand longer terms and higher salaried teachers. Dr. Cubberley held that there should be a state tax which should be consid ered a pool for the common good; that when a community had done all it coule It was the duty of the state to aid it to uphold certain educational standards that affect all the people. He showed how such a method had been most sue- . cessful in other states, resulting in long er terms, better salaries and hlghe standards of education. The fact tha the state stands ready to help Is a great Incentive to effort to the community with me ouruen. Reception by Commercial Clnb. At 8 o'clock a reception was given the visiting teachers at the Commercial Club, which was attended by hundreds of peo ple. Merchants' of the city have deeorat.

ARMED MEN HOLD SET NETS Sand Island Poachers Determined to Repulse Efforts to Move Them. ASTORIA. Or.. June 25. (Special.) The two men who are operating the eight setnets in front of sections a and 3 on Band Island, which have been leased from the Government as seining grounds by the Columbia River Packers' Association, are I. N. Stensland and Walter Busse. The two men are guarding their setnets, are armed, and it is said are prepared to repulse any attempt to interfere with their nets, notwithstanding the fact that the nets make the grounds valueless for seining purposes. These are the grounds which MoGowan operated last season and which the Co lumbia River Packers' Association leased this year at a rental of $5175. Just what action will be taken in the matter is not known, but it is supposed the United States Engineers Department, which leased the grounds, will be appealed to. the real point at Issue being whether the lease given by the Government covers the property beyond the low water mark, as the setnets are in deep water. Another phase of the matter that is lia ble tocome up Is that, as the setnet nets are in the channel, where the glllnetters are accustomed to drift, they may be considered menaces to navigation. flRFfSDM DAMIfCDC TO iltccT State Association Will Convene at Salem Today.

NEWPORT, Or., Junft 25. (Special.) Presentation of a flag to the Newport public school by the women of the W. R. C. was a pleasing feature of the Grand Army encampment here today. At the business session of the Grand Army De partment Commander S. F. Blythe, of Hood River, delivered his annual report. In part he said: The pleasure of meeting in department encampment Is once more ours. As the years roll on we seem to take greater de light In fellowship in the Grand Army of the Republic. We take greater pride in our organization, more fully realizing that as a patriotic order, imbued with the spirit of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty, it is without an qual in all the history of the world. Though tho encampment today is well filled with comrades who have met with us year after year, we note the ab sence of familiar faces; some who were with us a year ago have passed to the other shore. We will miss their genial presence and kindly advice during the de liberations of the encampment. Providence has been kind to us as a body of men. who, nearly half a century ago, risked life in the service of our country that the Union established by our fathers might be pre served. To know that 43 years after the war nearly 75O.0O0 Union soldiers survive is to feel that Providence has been kind. An appeal to Union veterans who are still outside the Grand Army of the Re public to become members of the organ ization was a feature of the annual ad dress of Department Commander S. P. Blythe. Membership in the Grand Army reached a hlghwater mark in 1S90. when 409, 4P9 Civil War veterans were enrolled. In 1906 the membership had fallen to 229,932. A statement from the pension office for April, 190S. shows the number of Civil War pensioners on the roll April 30 to be C26.733. "In the department of Oregon members-hip Is holding up well, considering the rapid decrease noted In the departments of the. Eastern and Middle States," con tinued the commander's report. "Our membership at the last report. Decem ber 31, 1907. shows a loss of 35. Twd new posts have been organized and- the strength of several working posts in creased by new recruits during the past year, and the report for June 30, 190S, will show a handsome increase in the department of Oregon. "Members of the W. R. C. and Ladies of the G. A. R. are doing a noble work in helping to recruit the Grand Army. Within the jurisdiction of Preston Post, at Union, every Union veteran hereto fore outside the Grand Army has been induced through the efforts of Cora M. Davis, department president of the W. R. C, to Join Preston Post." -4 a if I. i GUP FOR BEST CHERRIES MARION COUNTY HANGS VP i'lSE TROPHY AVORTH $150. Home Folks Barred From Competi tion as Inducement to Out side Exhibitors. SALEM, June 25.
