Balem, Oct 12. (Special to the Ore
gonlan.),; When the state Normal
school board adjourned its annual sea
son tonight after completing its re
port to the next legislature, it left the
Normal school question as far from
settled as ever. The board recom
mended Normal echool appropriations
amounting to $330,000 for the ensu
ing two years, but the board was una
ble to agree upon the , number of
schools that should be maintained. .
The majority of the board, com
posed of Governor Chamberlain, Sec
retary of State Benson, Superintendent
Ackerman, Colonel !E. . jlofer, Judge
Stephen Lowell and H'. J. Maler,' faver
the maintenance of three, Monmouth,
Weston and Ashland. The minority,
W. B. Ayer and C. G. Spence, will file
a minority report favoring two, or
perhaps only one. Mr. Maler declared
before the board adjourned that this
minority report will throw the old
fight into the legislature again, ajd
that the recommendations of the ma
jority will not be heeded. - State Sen
ator J. N. Smith or Marion, will lead
the fight In the legislature for one
Normal. , '
Equul Sum fcr Each School.
The board recommends that qual
amounts be appropriated for each of
the three Normals., The amounts rec
ommended are stated in a lump sum,
however, for one board expends the
money for each of the schools.
i-he purposes'for which appropria
tions are asked are;
Three new .dormitories. . . ., .$150,000
Salaries . v-
General maintenance ,
Libraries
Additional land ......

The three dormitories, the erection
of which the board, ad vises, will have
i room for, 100 students each, and will
, Include dining hall and kitchen. The
$50,000 appropriation ot, each is to
rover furnishing. Some of the institu
tions wanted other buildings, but the
board thought best not to ask for more
building appropriations 6t this time,
and the demand for other buildings
must wait the attention of subsequent
legislatures. -I 1 "v .
The amount of the appropriations
axked was not questioned by any mem
- ber of the board.'. Mr. Ayer, the most
active minority member, said that he
deems the amounts too small, rather
than too large It three Normals are to
De operated, but he will right; upon, tne
proposition that only two, or perhaps
only one Normal should be maintain
ed. Ayer's position is that If this $150,
000 were put into one good school and
only a portion of the salary and main
tenance fund expended In the opera
tion of one school, a higher grade' of
Normal work would be maintained and
thereby a larger number of students
would be attracted to the Institution
and a larger number of qualified
teachers would be turned out each
year. He figured that with a present
attendance of 850 students the expend
itures for operation alone will be $175,-
ooo for the three schools for two
years, of $250 per year per student,
- which he thought too much. .
He would build up one strong nor
mal first, and when the number of
students became so large as to demand
another Institution, he would establish
another. He would not locate a stats
Normal in Portland, for he believed
that Portland should maintain a Nor
mat for the training of its own teach
ers. Teachers for rural schools should
U trained In Normals" located In the
mailer towns, he asserted.
Other members of the board who fa
or maintaining three Normals argued
i that not more than 10 per cent of the
000 state teacher are Normal grad
uues, and that In order to secure
trained teachers the state must main
tain Normal schools In different parts
t the state. ThU to made necessary.
aid Colonel Hofer by the geograpb
ral divisions of the state, by distances
sparse population. Colonel Ilofer
also expressed his regret over the' de
'ermmatlon of Mr. Ayer to file a mi
nority report, because It will cause the
papers to print the amount ef ap
froprtatlons asked and will lead to a
hammering of the normal schools by
in press.
Superintendent Ackerman said that
lie were establishing a Normal
school policy for. the state, he would
maintain only one school, but. since
there are two or three, he believes it
best to continue them,
. State Senator J. N. Smith of Marlon,
who has given a great deal of. atten
tion to the Normal school question,'
said tonight thaj he will introduce a
bill in the net legislature abolishing
all the present Normals and establish
ing one Normal near Portland. He
will do that in the Interest of both
economy and efficiency.- ' Senator
Smith was in consultation with mem-
bers of the board today, though he did
not attend the meeting.
Bestdea recommending the appro
priations stated above, the board
adopted a report directing that the
total salaries at each of the Normals
be limited to $20,000 a year; that sal
aries of instructors range from $1000
to $1600, and that not to exceed 21 In
structors be employed.
. Reports of the Normals for the first
month of the present year show the
following enrollments: Ashland, 106,'
Monmouth, 108; Weston, 154;' total,

INTERESTING FACTS.
The B. M. Hyde Drug Co. Offer to Curie
. Catarrh Th MerikHn Onsa
Nothing If They Fail. ;
When a medicine effects a cure in
98 per cent of cases, and when we of
fer that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing if it Tloes not cure catarrh, It
Is only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our claim to
a practical test when we take all the
risk. These are facts which we want
the people of La Grande o substan
tiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared from
a prescription of a physician whose
specialty was catarrh, and who has'a
record or Jyears of cures to his credit.-
We sell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall Mucu
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
remedies sold In our store, and if more
people only knew what a thoroughly
dependable remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone
Is, It would be the only catarrh med
icine we would have any demand for
. Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly ab-
srbed and carried by the blod until It
thoroughly disinfects and cleanses -the
entire mucous membranous tracts, de
stroys and removes the parasites which
Injure and destroy the membranous
tissues, soothes and b-eals the lrtSta
tlon and soreness, str.ps the mu-ous
discharge, and builds up strong, heal
thy tissues, relieve the blood and sys-
tera of diseased matter, stimulates the
muco-oells, aids digestion and im
proves nutrition until the whole oody
vibrates with "health yactlvlty. Jn a
comparatively short time there s a
most noticeable gain in weight,
strength, good color and feeling of
buoyancy.
We urge you te try Mucu-Tone be
ginning a treatment today. At -any
time you are not satisfied, sfrnply
come and tells us, an 1 we will quickly
return your money without question
or quibble. We . have Rexall Mucu-
