The jQOPtincement Is Important to teach-, ers of Oregon in that the summer ses sion Is conducted practically free of charge in their Interest at a time when K Is possible for them to attend. In the past the larger part of those at tending have been teachers. The uni yersity believes that It can exteui lis advantages of library, ; labrato'ry, equipment, and teaching force In 'no Vetter way than through the summor school. The couraes offered for teach ers cover the greater number of sub- Jeis required in the State examiNa- ' tloas. ' ;; ;.,..'.:. ,.. .

Proof of this assertion .Is ascertain able In the land office where since yes terday morning, six contests have been filed, all alleging non-compliance with the homestead ' and timber and stone claim laws. Hereafter when fil ing Is made on sucji claims, the ap plicant must tend to his knitiing or some anxious being will make capital out of his negligence that at heart conform with the law perhaps, but in the letter means cancellation of the rights already acquired.
