Bechtel & Bynon 347 State St. Phone Main 452 No Definite Arrangement Yet Made, But Medical School Will Prob ably do to Portland. Slnco the fact that tho medical school is to go to Portland has been nindo public, the main query now is, will the college of law go too. No official statements can bo ob tained In regard to tho matter, but there uro two wide-spread reports. One rumor Is that the Oregon law school, at l'ortlaud, will bo merged with tho Salem school, and a state law school established In Salem. Sonio Willamette enthusiasts claim that the school ho united will continue to be a part of WllhimcUc, und that wo would really get the best of the tmde. Tho other rumor Ih that tlu law lll bo separated from the local uni INDEPENDENT We Have Gone Independent. WHY? Because we can pick our program and get some of the finest pictures ever shown.

However nlco theso plans may seem, none of them can bo substan tiated by any of tho school authori ties, and rumors and plans will con tinue to circulate until the university office finds itself In a position to niako a statement. New questions present thomsolves, now that tho medical school Is to go, namely, what Is to become of the medical building? Will the universi ty rceelvo additional endowment, without also ridding Itself of the law school? If such endowment Is avall ablo, what Is the amount tho school will bo nblo to obtain? In tho first place It Is understood that tho medical building will he turned into a science hall, something badly needed by tho institution, With tho laboratories out of tho chapel building and tho literature so cieties and Y. M. C, A. moved to the new administration building, which It Is exported will be erected within tho next three years, the Interior of tho building could be entirely renovated and converted Into a first-class men's dormitory. It is understood that parties are very seriously contemplating the do nation of a girls' dormitory at the present time. So that an announce ment that such a building Is to be erected Immediately may be expect ed at anyl time. The endowments available from eastern funds are also entirely spec ulative. There are different funds which it is believed could be drawn upon. If the school rids Itself of the professional schools, so that it is ex pected that, with the amount re ceived for the merger of the medical school, and from the funds available east, a very tidy sum will' be added to the present endowment. With the erection of the many new buildings, as contemplated, the uni versity would bo In a position to do the highest type of work in the lib eral arts courses, lending to Bachelor of Arts, Hachelor of Science and the different masters' degrees, as well as offering special Inducements in pre- legal and pre-medlcal work. However, any of the above contem plated moves are unofficial as yet, and it must be remembered that the board of trustees has not even agreed that the medical school is to go. SALEM BOY HERE FOR A BRIEF VISIT Salem was the host of another old timer last week In the person of John H. Coffey, county clerk of Multnomah county, who was In the city attending the session of the legislature and re newing old acquaintances. Mr. Coffey was born In Salem in 1876 In a houso which formerly stood on tho vacant lot Just south of The Journal office. Ho remembers the old landmarks, tho old swimming hole across the river, and, In fact, about every place of interest In days long ago. Ills father, James Coffey, was at one time justice of tho peace of Salem when this city was in its infancy, and later, was elected to the office of city recorder. John Coffey's first nppenr anco In the laboring circle of Salem In tho olden days. waH when be nccepted a position with the Western I'nlon Tel egraph company as messenger. The W. V. olllcn was then located Immedi ately south of tho Hotel Marlon and "flllly" DeMars was manngor. Mr. Coffey nlso sold newspaper at the time Garfield was killed nnd "states that he made money galore at that time. In lS'.iG Mr. Coffey left Salem for Portland ns operator for the Western t'nlon, and shortly after entered into public life. In 1906 ho was a candi date for tho legislature from Multno mah county and was elected nnd was one of the first to take up the cause of Statement No. 1. In 11)09, he was elected stato senator and InBt year he was appointed tho chairman of the po llco committee of tho Portland city council, and afterwards resigned to tako the olllco of county clerk. Mr. Coffey Is proud In proclaiming Salem as his birth place and Is highly pleased with the wonderful growth of tho city. Singers, A Men (Jon! Full rehearsal tonight of the "Rose Maiden" at Y. M. C.

Its Wednesday. LOSE MAINN LAKE Senate Passes Bill Fixing Boundaries Several Other Bills Are Sent Through. Over protest of the Marion county delegation the senate Saturday after noon passed the compromise bill es tablishing the boundary line between Marlon and Linn counties. By the provisions cf the bill Marlon laka will be in Linn county. O naccount of pre joped developments of the water pow er of Marion creek, which flows oc.t of Marlon lake, this is considered n valuable acquisition for Linn county. The water of Marion creek is said to offer a poslshlllty of the best water power in the state. It has been esti mated by competent engineers that the power can be utilized so cheaply that power can be sold In Salem for as low as $9 a horsepower. Portland and Salem capitalists are said to he behind a move, to develop the power. Hatchery Bill Killed. An effort of years on the part of the people of Polk county again ended unsuccessfully in tho into hours of the senate session Saturday night, when the bill for placing the Teal trout hatchery under the-maintenance of the state failed to passs. After having all of its teeth drawn in committee the Calkins bill for the prohibition of the shipment of liquor from wet Into dry territory passed tho senate Saturday night. The bill only prohibits shipments by bootleggers. Carson, of Marlon, denounced the leg islation as frivolous, declaring that three-fourths of the time of the ses sion has been taken up with matters pertaining to liquor nnd disorderly women. Indefinite postponement was the disposal made Saturday afternoon of the Butler bill for the creation of a state horticultural commission, with an appropriation of $00,000. Looks Bud for Expert. Senator Carson's bill for the abo lition of the office of stato printing expert passed tho senate. The au thor of the bill pronounced the office "merely a sinecure," and snhl that, the duties could bo performed by the sec retary of state. Sixteen senators vot ed for the bill, McC'ulloch was sus picious that the intention was to ex clude any member of the typographic al union from holding tho position of secretary in the secretary of state's office to take care of the duties now In the hnnds of the expert. Carson denied this. With several senntors voting in Its favor reluctantly, the morals court bill passed the senate. Malarkey and Ilutler both doubted the wisdom of the bill, but voted In Its favor. By a decisive vote, Senator Kella her's bill proposing a license of $200 a yenr for the use of trading stamps failed to passs. With its object the prevention of Important bills, such as the Panama Pacific appropriation, workmen's compensation, and good roads being held up for two ycarB, Senator Day's bill for a special referendum election to be held September 2, passed the senate. Split on Textbook Bill. Because the bill does not provide for free textbooks for parochial school, the Day bill for free textbooks caused a spilt in the senate Saturday afternoon, nnd finally met defeat. A second bill, nieotlng tho objection mnyte framed and Introduced, It the senate will consent. Senators Joseph, Dlmlck and Cnr son, special committee for the investi gation of the Oregon Naval Militia are the most complete split In tho legiBiarure, eacn nnving nrongnt in a sepnrnte report, Tho report of Dim Ick and Joseph nre Identical in the mnln, except that Dlmlck favors the complete nbollshment of the militia Senator Carson approves the stnte naval forces.
