By tie Referendum College -Appro- priation of $65,000 Lost. -X 'Petitions invoking the referen dum on the million-dollar appro priation bill passed at the last ses sion of the legislature were filed at Salem Thursday with the secre tary of state. While the object ot the petitions is to annul the appropriations for the state Normal schools, amount ing to $i 13,000, they will also have the effect of holding up tne appro- criations for all the state institu tions, such as the insane asylum, the penitentiary, the reform school, the deaf mute and blind schools, Agricultural College and the state Unive.sity. The Dill also mciuaea the usual appropriation for the transportation of insane and of con victs to Salem. At the state election in June 1906, the'people will pass upon the appropriation bill. If the major ity of the tktes should be in favor of the bill It will become effective, If the voe should be adverse every item contained in the bill williaii The referendum estops the ex penditure in Corvallis this summer , of 565,000, appropriated by tne leg islature for a drill shed and tor woman's building at the college The present girl's boarding hall is far short of requirements that it ma terially interferes with attendance at the institution In the days when the accommodations for girls and boys as to board were equal, the number of female students was a little larger than the number of males. ' Nowadays, it is far more difficult for girls to get boarding places in families abottttown than it is for boysvv Besides, parents abroad are not i willing to entrust girls so generally to random board ine places, but prefer a hall or dormitory where the college pro per is responsible . for conditions This influence has so kept down the attendance of girls that there are now less than halt as many girls as boys at the institution. It was to remedy ihis condition and to provide needed accommodations for classes that are now over crowd ed that the Woman's building was projected. ?rxm this standpoint and from the estoppage of the 65 000 among Corvallis . workingmen and others, the referendum is re grettable. Perhaps, a.s a rebuke to the legislature for its wasteful ap propriations in spite of Governor Chamberlain's protests, the invok ing ol the" referendum is justifiable although the Time3 cannot help but believe that a better way would have been to resort to the initiative for cutting off the Normal schools The referendum will not cut them off. They will run just the same: and ultimately the state will have to pay the expenseand accrued in terest Wednesday the associated stu - dents of the state university held their annual election. In all 185 votes were cast, or 14 more than last year. The elections are bj ballot and great interest attaches Fred Steiwer was elected president, The funeral of Rev. J,.

The troubles with reference to Corvallis day at the Lewis and Clark fair are all over. The date is to be June 15th, as originally fixed and the complications that were on as a result of the demand of the exposition authorities that it should be changeq, are all off. It all happened through the interpo sition of Mr. Coman, the obliging passenger agent- of the Southern Pacific, whose - aid was invoked by President Johnson of the Citizens league. When the facts relative to Commencement at " OA.C and other matters were laid before Mr. Coman, he promptly declared that his company would give the Cor vallis people ample train accommo dations to visit Portland on the 1 5th and enable them to celebrate Cor vallis day under the best conditions. It became clear in fact, that the proposal to change the date from the 15th to the 14th, was not init- ated by the railroad people, but that it was in large part the action of tha fair authorities, themselves! In any event, as soon as the mat-? ter was brought clearly to Mri Co man s notice, an adjustment was made highly satisfactory at the Corvallis end of the line. The train that is to carry the ex cursionists will leave Corvallis the 1 morning of June 15th at six o'clock It will return late in the . evening, bringing back such as desire to make the round trip in a single day.g The fare will be $2.60 for thesround trip, tickets to be good for a seven days' stay in Portland if the holder so desires. The whole arrangement is perfect, and as a result, such a crowd from Corvallis and vicinity is likely to invade Portland as was never seen there before from this section. It is be- ng guessed that, the excuision will number from 1,000 to ',000 per sons. The OAC cadets will go via that train tor tneir ten days en campment at the Exposition. f. BILLS ALLOWED.
