j which failed at the regular session
tyi because of a defect in the proceed-
J lngs.
3 In a statement to the press, Gov-

Iscd that no new legislation will De

'special Bession, Governor Benson an
nounces that the session is "for the
"purpose of enacting Senate bill No.

sion at this time is justified beyond
all doubt.
"Beside the appropriation bill in
question there may he a number of
minor mistakes and omissions in oth
er bills that will need correction.
These matters can be attended to in a
very short space of time. I have not
attempted to exact pledges ot any
nature from the members of the leg
islature, but have received voluntary
assurances from a majority of the
senators and representatives that no
new legislation will be considered,
and that both houses will attend to
the business which has called them
together and adjourn. Several ot
the members have volunteered1 to
serve without pay, and as there will
be little or no expense In the matter
of clerk hire, printing, etc., the cost
of the session to the taxpayers will
not be a heavy one."
DEMANDS SUBMISSION
OP NORMAL QUESTION.
WESTON, Or., March 3. To the
Editor of the Portland Journal:
Were the normal school system alone
to be considered were there no mis
take to rectify with regard to appro
priations for necessary improvements
at state Institutions it would still
be the duty of the legislature to meet
In special session.
Common business honor toward
normals demands that their affairs
be wound up in a legitimate manner.
No school can arrange for its con
tracts and obligations to end In the
middle of the school year. No teach
er would teach; no pupil would con
sent to be taught, under such condi
tions. The honest debts of the nor
mals must be paid if Oregon would
save itself from shame.
Graduates of eastern normal
schools and colleges teaching at Wes-.
ton are positively aghast at Oregon's
seeming disregard of ordinary decen
cy toward its schools. They are, or
have been, state institutions, yet are
abandoned - without a dollar, with
every obligation to their teachers and
students unfulfilled.
1 have an Interesting document on
8Jo in my oflice In proof that they
are state Institutions. It was sent
me by Mr. Dunbar, former secretary
of state, and curtly informed me con
cerning the decision of the attorney
general to the effect that the consti
tution forbade that L should be paid
for any Job printing done for the
Weston school, since It was a state
Institution, and Its work should be
done by the state printer. At this
very time Mr. Dunbar was quietly
adding to his personal bank account
unearned fees that amounted, It is
charged, to $100,000 during his term
of office.
This reminds me that the normal
schools are the scapegoats for every
dollar appropriated by the state, and
suffer vicarious atonement for every
alleged graft. The 1500,000 given
the Portland fair did not bring a dol
lar Into Umatilla county, and took
thousands out of the pockets of our
citizens; yet the fair was hailed as a
blessing, while Umatilla county's nor
mal school is stigmatized as a graft.
The Crater Lake road, useful only
to bug-buzzing tourists, gets $100,
000 without a protest from a singlo
Portland newspaper, yet each tries
to see which can club the normal
schools the hardest. .
The portage railway at Celilo gets
$75,000, In addition to 1175,000 for
merly appropriated. At the same
time it shows receipts of about $3,
000 annually end expenditures of
about $9,000. This road Is undoubt
edly of value as a regulator of freight
rates, yet it costs the state a great
penny to "regulate," counting the in
terest on that quarter of a million in
vested. It la quite likely a good
thing for somebody. I do not know
and am not here to criticise.
Yet so is the training of teachers
of undoubted value to the state, and

its physical divisions are such that It
positively needs three normals. Mas
sachusetts has eight, I believe, and
tne man who would condemn tnem as
grafts would be sought for by the
dime museums.
The agricultural college got $370.-
000, and very likely was entitled to
every dollar. It is doing a great
work. Yet at this rate Its 1425 stu
dents cost the state about $125 an
nually each. The Eastern Oregon
State Normal school has had $17,
600 annually for tho past two years
the largest amount It ever received.
Just before its recent troubles It had
172 actual attendance in its normal
department aside from 100 in the
training Bchool, which I do not count.
At this rate its students cost about
$100 annually each, and more than
60 per cent of them come from coun
ties other than Umatilla. It 1b a
bona fide eastern Oregon institution,
and tho legislature will find that It
has hosts of friends. It only becomes
a local Institution when Weston has
to help it out, which the town is do
ing right now, with a fund that has
reached $3000, with tne aid ot othor
contributions from outside towns.
Ten acres of ground and a brick
building were among Weston's gifts
in tne past.
And the state university, also,
which has a handsome permanent
maintenance fund that I did all In
In my power to aid in securing. Ore
gon needs this institution, but the
normals are no more a graft than it
Is, and their graduates we warrant do
not cost the state so much "per
head." In fact, the graduates of the
devoted and gallant Monmoulh nor
mal, whose history has been one of
struggle and sacrifice, are not at pres
ent costing tne state a dollar. Call
the Monmouth normal a graft, and
then call the Angel Gabriel a thief
for the larceny of his golden trumpet.
rne district fairs get money: the
experiment stations get money; the
asylums penitentiary, reform school,
etc., get more money: the coyote
counties get bounty funds money
goes out In streams from tho state
treasury for every conceivable pur
pose and only the pormnl schools
are "grafts." Oh, but this Is a tire
some world to thoBe of us who have
time and again gone Into our per
sonal pockets for the aid of these
state schools.
The normal school Question oueht
to be submitted to tho people for final
aecision as to whether they want
one, two, three, or none. And if the
legislature wants to bo fair It will do
more than run the schools until
June; it will give them a chance to
live until the real arbiters of their
fate the sovorolgn people of tho
state of Oregon -have had n chance
to sneak. The legislature would be
assuming too much to abolish them
arbitrarily and the heaviest taxpay
ers of -Umatilla county, represented In
tne Farmers' Educational and Co
operative union, have protested
against such action by resolution ad
dressed to Governor Benson.

OREGON FARMER DIGS UP
$2000 IN POTATO PATCH.
PORTLAND, Or., March 5. Rich
ard Cornett, of Milwaukle, unearthed
a treasure trove in his potato patch
yesterday that is reminiscent ot Cap
tain Kidd and his buried doubloons of
ruddy gold. A rusted tin box, packed
tightly with gold dust and nuggets,
was turned up by his spado. The
box weighed about 10 pounds. Us
contents are said to be worth about
$2000.
The box was found lust 22 feet
from the end. of an old rottod log.
To mark the spot where the treasure
was hidden, 22 spikes had beon driv
en In the log. The row of spikes
pointed to the place where the box
of gold had been burled.
Old residents of Milwaukle say the
gold was undoubtedly hidden there
by an old Australian miner who lived
on the Bpot 30 years ago. Ho died
without telling the location of tho
gold.
ThO finding of thfi hn nf lrinim
followed closely the birth of a son to
tne wire of Mr. Cornett, the lucky
fhider of the burled Australian gold.

PITTSBURG, March 5 "Before
election I expected to win," said Wil

the Allegheny County Bryan League,
"but now. Instead of being surprised
at being defeated, I feel surprised
that the Democratic party polled as
many votes as they did."
Mr. Bryan said he would rather bo
the defeated candidate ot the demo
cratic party and have the support he
received and the votes of the 0,000,
0O0 people than be presldont and
feel that he owed it to the powers
that corrupt.
The speaker referred to the many
times that he had been called a
dreamer, " and told tho parnhle of
Joseph, ending with tile remark that
the droamor had corn In time ot need.
Mr. Bryan snld defeat meant noth
ing to him who did not sook office,
but rather who fought for tho tri
umph of his Ideas, and he snld ho
would be entirely satisfied If people
would think ot him as a builder who
had done the best he could and help

FOUR PRISONERS BREAK
OUT OF EUGENE JAIL.
Character of Charges Shows "Dry
ness" of That City Exists Only
In a Lcg.nl Sense.
EUGENE, Or., March 5. Four
prisoners confined In the city jail es
caped Inst night and havo not been
seen since. They climbed to the
manholo In the celling ot the jail
and then it was an easy matter to
punch a hole through the shingle
roof. They then tied a couple of
blankets together and dropped from
the roof to the ground and liberty.
Those who escaped were: Duuhar,
a plasterer, known as "Dary Bill,"
who was run In last night by Police
man Evans for slapping that officer;
Sid Pitman, serving a twenty-five day
sentence for drunkenness; J. Mat
lock, who was run in last night for
being drunk, and Sid Williams, ar
rested last night for indecent expos
ure. Williams, who is a horse trader,
had completed a 15-day sontence
only a few days ago tor drunken
ness, but became Intoxicated again
yesterday. . .
All of the prisoners have either
loft the city or are In hiding some
where. Ennis McPherson, who was put in
yesterday afternoon for drunkenness,
did not go along with his jailmates.
He was fined $20 this morning and
the amount was pnld.
A young man from the country,
who Ib well known, but whose name
the officers did not dlvulgo, was ar
rested for druukenncss by the night
policeman, but gave $10 for his ap
pearance and went home to look nfter
stock. Ho roports having lost $25
during his Intoxication, which was of
a peculiar nnture, brought oil with
very little drinking. Ho said he did
not know tho follow from whom he
got the whiskey.
