the exception of tho period of meeting
of the stute legislature when the pay
roll runs tip to from $3500 to' $4000

"To print the text books for tho state
would require a payroll of about $5000

Mr. Uiwrence said it was urgent that
legislation be passed at the next sea
siou providing for tho printing of tho
books by tho state so that the stuto
printing office might have two years
in which to iiiuke preparation for print
ing the books.
It was pointed out that for boiiio
time there would be an expense in
royalties to authors of the text hooks,
but not enoux.! to decrease materially
from tho saving to the taxpayers. To
print the books in tho state printing
offico, Mr. Lawrence said, would be an
inducement to Oregon educators to
write text books.
Mr. Lawrence stated that he had no
authority to quote Stuto School Super
intendent Churchill, but said Mr.
Churchill was of the opinion that the
number of text books could be cut down
it they were printed by the state.

VILLA READY TO QUIT
EL PASO, Texas, Dec. 18. General
Francisco Vila has withdrawn from the
Mexican revolution, according to au
thentic advices today from Chihuahua
City, where a council of war has been
In session. The retirement of General ! steered the Republican machine for
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Anybody
can have a guess as to what Colonel
Roosevelt is going to do in tho coming
campaign. He is the best dope upset
ter in politics and his attendance at
the Gary dinner last Friday may have
meant a powerful lot or may not.
Sumarlzed, this is the view of poli
ticians here today concerning what the
leader of the Bull Moose has In mind.
Frankly they are up In the air.
Senator Borah, himself a candidate
In the presidential lists, was chary of
advancing an opinion. Senator Clapp.
an ardent Roosevelt man, declared "I
see no political significance in the din
ner. Roosevelt hag had enough ex
perience with those gentlemen to with
stand their blandishments."
At tho same time. Senator Polndex
ter. Progressive Republican, said:
"Roosevelt has a right to attend a
private dinner and It isn't for me to
comment.
On the other hand. Representative
Curry of California had this comment'.
' I do not think that any combination
ol rich can club the Republican party
into nominating any man. I guess the
diner was merely to hrow bouquets at
the colonel. The Republican candi
date will be nomlnted by the party,
and I do not think that Roosevelt has
a chance."
Those who have pow-wowed with the
colonel recently declared that he will
not be smoked out concerning his prob
able candidacy. He told them that he
would support a Republican like
Hughes, Hadley, Johnson or Knox, but
he tabooed Root
Dopesters, though, saw a connection
between a Roosevelt boom, and the
mysterious visit of Frank Hitchcock,
former postmaster general, to the na
tional committee meeting. Hitchcock
the most prominent breeders of these
different breeds of dairy cattle in the
state will appear on the programs, and
practical problems will be discussed
from all angles. W. K. Newell, of
Gresham; J. C. Pomeroy, of Scappoose,
and Herbert Jones, of Amity, are fan
ciers of Holstein cows who will talk
before the Holsteln-Frlesiun associa
tion; H. Th lessen, of Milwaukie; Cum-
mlugs Dickson, of Shedd; Guy Hewitt,
of Monmouth, and George Withycombe
of Gaston, are Jersey breeders who
will be In attendance; and Mrs. J. I.
Hughes, of Oregon City, and the Chase
Brothers, of Independence, Guernsey
owners, will give addresses.
The State Dalrymen'a association
will hold a two and one-half-day ses
sion, and a program of Interest to
dairymen at large has been prepared
by Professor Graves. In addition to
Mr. Glover there will be other speakers
from outside the state, notably Mrs.
J. O .Howie, one of the leaders in the
dairy industry of Wisconsin, and Judge
Shields, of California. Representa
tives from the 13 cow testing associa
tions of the state will report on the
progress of that work in their com
munity, and several. members of the
college staff will discuss various sub
jects relating to dairying. Governor
Withycombe will be one of the prin
cfpal speakers at this convention. -
level.
Mr. Hawley stated that he was not
only willing to have the pumps main
tained where they are but practically
insisted that they should be so main
tained as they will afford Ore protec
tion for all of the mills In the south
end of town as well as other parts of
the city and he is willing to meet the
city more than half way in the propo
sition. The city's right to this reservation
will continue as long as the city bus
any use for the ground either for pump
ing or power purposes and in case the
city wishes to abandon the use of the
pumps it may do so at time and still
have the right to substitute any other
machinery for the development of elec
trical or other power.
Councilman Hackett made a motion
covering the point won by the city
at a council meeting a week ago, but
the motion failed to pass. The added
restriction approved by Mr. Hawley
Wednesday, it is believed, will insure
the united support of the sale of every
member of the council.

anglers and commercial fishermen and
that he for one would welcome an in

evidence that would convict the other
side of law breaking."
