NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION. The question of normal schools or no normal schools has been much discussed in Oregon of re cant years. Those who first and last ally themselves on the side of what they are pleased to term "higher education" at what ever co3t have always stood for the normal schools. But there is another clas3 who are not so enthusiastic for higher educa tion because of what they term their practicability. This class is composed largely of tax -payers. Few people desire to shirk w is clearly a duty in assist ing to defray the expenses of eiucating the youth of the land, but they are satisfied, at least in t.ncir own minds, that there is a limit beyond which they are not called upon to go. They feel that innumerable state normal schools mark the limit. They are not necessarily enemies of higher education, but believe Wicn atate endowed universities and colleges the matter has been fully attended . They argue that in subscribing to the demands of the public schools and state col leges both the causes of common school and higher education have received all that can rationally be expected. There are many good citizens who believe the state would have done its full duty had it stopped at the public schools, but txae are comparatively few. It appears right and proper for the state to assist in the maintenance of a few worthy institutions for tie inculcation of highar learn in i. but to have a brood of nor mal school continually warming under her wings seems to mark tin line ac wnieh forbearance ceases to be counted among the virtues. Perhaps one, or possibly two state normal schools would not be so bad, but four seems pretty numerous to Mr. Taxpayer. Darinj the presont sessions of the legislature bills have appear ed in the house asking for state normal school appropriations in a manner no wise modest consid" cring tii3 s:z js of the school. Wesson has asked for an appro priation of ii;7J,0JJ and Mon mouth for "o.OOO. It is author itatively stated that Drain will ask ivc -4u, U0J and Asiiiand for tJ, 003, if thay have no; already done so. This will make the grand total asked for the succor of state normal schools foot up to $215,030 quite a bit of money. Governor Chamberlain, in his message, strongly recommended that at least two of the normals he abolished. The general be lief is that the legislature will pass som 2 sort of law in com pliance with this recommenda tion. The matter of one board of control is also favorably con sidered. Beyond doubt some decisive action will be taken in regard to tha normals, as the fight is on already in the legis lative halls- HUXTERS' LICENSES. According to the law now in force each county in Oregon is obliged to provide the necessary printed blanks and hire the re quired clerical assistance for the issuance of licenses to hunters, and attend to the collection of fees, although all such fees go into the state treasury. This scarcely seems a square deal to the counties. Two bills have already appear ed in the house during the pre sent session of the legislature for i the purpose of bringing about a more satisfactory state of af - fairs by the passage of anew;10- law regulating the issuances of hunters' licenses. One of these bills was introduced by Repre sentative Beveridge, who pro vides that the. county shall re serve from these fees an amount sufficient to defray the expenses incurred in their collection. Representative Jackson is the father of another bill of this nature. His bill exempts bona fide residents of the state from paying for this license and im poses upon non-residents a li cense of $25. These licenses are to be non-transferable and are to expire December 31 of the year of issue. All money col lected from the issuance of such licenses is to be turned into the state treasury and such fines as are collected shall go to the school fund of the county col ectinS said fine. Violations of the law are punishable by fines ranging from $25 to $250, or im prisonment in the county jail from 20 to 100 days, or by both fine and imprisonment. He Won Prizes. Continued From First Pate roads, it is almost certain that he would have taken first prize. A three year-old nanny belong ing to this gentleman carried off first prize, and a two year-old nanny was awarded third prize. The eighth annual Oregon An gora goat show held at Dallas on January 9,-10 and 11 has proved the banner one of all Oregon An gora exhibits and in fact was the largest and best show of Angora goats that has been held in the entire country since the World's Fair. Nearly two hundred superior animals were on exhibition and breeders were in attendance from all over the state and from var ious parts of the Northwest. This sho w will go into the his tory of Angora husbandry in Oregon as on 3 reflecting great credit upon the committee having its management in charge; ' the committeemen being U. S. Grant, H. L. Fenton, W. A. Ayres, Jas. Riddle, C. W. McBae and J. I. Reasoner, all progressive Angora goat breeders of Polk county. Angora husbandry in Oregon ranks well in importance with all other livestock pursuits. The state ranks second, if not . first in the number of Angora goats and production of monair in the Uni ted States, the annual clip from its flock of Angoras running in value well up to $150 000 while the value of their yearly increase approximates $350 000 thus fully a nail a million dollars ot new wealth is added annually to the yield of Oregon farms from An gora goats. Oregon mohair ranks with the best in the east ern markets and commands the highest market prices. The An goras of the scate are of a parti cularly well bred type, the foun dation stock being the thorough bred goats introduced years ago and directly traceable to the first American importations. .

Last Sunday's Portland Jour nal, contained a dispatch dated at Corvallis, which went on to ;tate that anunknoyH. , lacjy had been brought to Corvallis and taken to the "Philadelphia lodging house' where she died later, her oeath being shrouded id mystery, etc, etc. Although the dispatch bore the Corvallis head line it was not sent from this city, not, at least, by. the regular correspondent, as no such circumstances have ever been known here, nor is there any "Philadelphia" boarding house in this city. How the dis patch came to be under a Corval lis head line is not understood here,, but because of its publica- tion the Corvallis correspondent Jot the Journal received Wednes day the following self-explanatory letter from! Mr. A. Jordon of Hubbard. It anyone can assist Mr. Jordon. by, furnishing the in formation sought it will, un doubtedly be a greatly appreciat- 1-'-. 1 Ui , uia 1 1 l L V oavc We understand that vott were the lady that sent an acc the Sunday Journal of a strange lady who died a.' the Plulad lp.u Hotel. We have a sister who disappeared from our home heie at Hubbard between 12 and 6 o'clock New Year's morning. This lady was. 5 feet 8 inches tall, dark hair and eyes, very slender. As far as we know shr had no clothes with her excep what she bad on. She wore a red waist, kind of a dressing sacqne, a dark ski:t, rather a salt and. pepper effect. She has false teeth, her lower set being broken. She did her hair on top of her bead. She had on a black jacket, a light hat tti mined with a rosette with a brass buckle, a fur around her neck." A stamp photo of the iiubbard lidy was enclosed and a request for an immediate reply in which it was urged that details of. th e mysterious lady at the "Paila- delphia lodging bouse" be given. Unfortunately for the Hubbard relatives, no such information is obtainable here. Verdict for Dr. Pierce AGAINST THE Ladles' Home Journal. Sending truth after a lie. It Is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting its boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription "published in the May (1904) number of the Ladies" Home Journal, with its great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with its incon spicuous heading, published two months later. It was bold y charged in the sland erous and libelous article that Ur. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful ingretli ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies" Home Journal, for 8200i000,00 damages. Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, the editor, maliciously published the article containing such false and defamatory matter witlf the intent of Injuring ills urtherrhore, th" t no alconol, 01 urious. or habit-forming, drugs were, contained in his "c a- iption"; that said medicine 5m native medicinal roots and no harmful ingredients what- d that Mr. Bok's malicious state- mralg were wholly and absolutely false. e rptrartiop printod hv said .1 th v were, forced to acknowledge hil tN-v li :1 uiuauu.q iiiiaiv.M; in, riivuiiLt; .'

But i c business of Dr. Pierce was grreatlj" injured '" the publication of the libelous article w Its great display headings, while hundreds of thousands who read the wickedly def amatory article never saw the humble groveling re traction, set in small type and made as incon spicuous as possible. The matter was, how ever brought before a jury in the Supreme Court of New York State which promptly rendered a verdict in the Doctor's fa-vr. Thus his traducers came to grief, and tneu base slanders were refuted. Z. BACKWARD BOYS. Brilliant Men Who Did Not Shine In Their Younger Days. I think most men who have been, educated at any large public school readily call to mind numerous instances of boys who were always winning prizes, yet have not done any tiling worth mentioning in after life. , And I am confident that upon investigating" the early years of those who have led a strenuous and remarkably successful career it will be found that the majority were rather lazy than not before they en tered upon the actual battle of life. Oliver Goldsmith was looked upon by his schoolmaster as a dunce. That may possibly have been the fault of the latter. I fancy there is the mindfein Scholastic career, just as there is in a doctor's. That at least is my individual experience. Gladstone never took a prize at school, if I remember aright, though he subsequently ' gained a double first at Oxford. Those high priests of science and philosophy, Darwin, Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen cer, did not particularly shine in their younger days. We find plenty of evidence that people who in the first stages of their career make prolonged and ex haustive demands on their stores of nerve force rarely attain length of days. ' Whether those demands have been made merely in the pursuit of wealth or for some more noble ob ject does not matter. The result is the same. Thus Napoleon consid ered about four hours in bed . f'& good night's rest." He joined the majority at fifty-one. Dickens pass ed over at fifty-eight, his great rival, Thackeray, at fif ty-two. Byron achieved his unique reputation in the" short compass of thirty-six years, Mozart in thirty-five and Schiller in forty-five. Alfred Beit died at fifty-three and Cecil Rhodes at fortv-eiffht.
