Dr.Elwood P. Cnbberley, of Stanford,
frges Liberal Policy Toward Dis

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. A
their business houses with flags avC
pennants in honor of the visitors. The
chief sessions are held in Villard Hall,
on the University of Oregon campus.
Among the noted educators who are here
to deliver lectures' are Dr. A. B. Hart,
of Harvard University; Professor Elwoou
F. Cubberley. of Stanford; Superintendent
of Public Instruction Edward Hyatt, of
California, and Miss Eftle McFadden, of

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.

SHOULD JOIN GRAND ARMY
Iepartmeiit Commander Makes Ap
peal to Union Veterans.
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."

" It is a food that is perfectly balanced,

"For two years I have used Grape
