It will deter mine the text books that shall be used In thiB state for a period of six years. The action taken by the board will not only be of great moment to the people of the state from a financial standpoint, but -will be of vital Interest to the cause of common school education. In an Interview on the subject of the composition of the commission. Governor Geer has said that he will endeavor to appoint the best men In the state to per form the duties of that body. He will make no announcement of names prior to the official appointment. He said that he appreciated suggestions from persons Interested in the educational affairs of the state, and desired to encourage rec ommendations of persons qualified for the positions. With five positions to be filled, there have been thus far but six recommendations. Those whose names have been suggested to the Governor with recommendation for their appointment are as follows: George H. Durham, of Portland: W. Wright, principal of the public schools of Canyonvllle. and formerly of the Douglas and Jackson County schools; C. A. Hltehcook. principal of the public schools at Ashland: P. B.

Barry. ex-DresIdent of the Multnomah Typo graphical Union and chairman of the leg islative committee of the Federated Trades Assembly, of Portland. The law under which the appointments are to be made was passed by the Legis lative Assembly in 1899. It provides that in the month of January, 1901, and every four years thereafter, the Governor shall appoint, from different sections of the state, a state board of five text book commissioners, who shall hold their offices until their successors are elected and qualified, vacancies to be filled by the Governor. In the month of February, 1901. and ev ery six years thereafter, the State Super intendent Is required to mall to all the leading school book publishers in the United States a circular stating the names and residences of the commission ers, the time and place of their meeting, the general form of bid, the general form of contract to be entered Into, the branches of study included in the state course far all grades, the provisions of the text book law, and such other in formation as may be expedient. It is provided that the text book com mission shall meet at the capltol on the second Monday of July, 1901, and every six years thereafter, and continue In ses sion not to exceed 15 days. Four mem bers constitute a quorum, and they shall organize by electing one of their number chairman. A secretary, who is not a member of the board, and who is not a state or county officer. Is also to be elected. When organized the board shall proceed to adopt text books for use in all the public schools for Q, period of six years, the votes of each member being recorded in the minutes. At least three votes are necessary for a choice. Text books having been selected from among the bids, the state board of education will enter Into contracts with the publishers, the latter being required to give satis factory bonds for the performance of their contracts. The State Superintend ent will, in August, 19Q1. and every six years thereafter, announce the text books that have been adopted, and all school boards are required to cause the text books to be introduced and used in their schools within IS months from the date of the adoption. The contract with publishers will pro vide the price at which the books adopt ed will be exchanged for corresponding books then in use. up to December 31, of the year of adoption; the Introductory price at which books will be sold up to the same date, and the retail price there after.. If any publisher fails to perform his contract the Governor may call a speoial session of the commission to se lect a new beok In the place of the one not furnished. In districts where branches are taught higher than the state course of study provides, the school board selects the text books to be used. The condensation of members of the board is not large. Bach member and the secretary receives ?100 for attendance at ech meeting, and 10 cents per mile for each mile traveled in attending the meeting. Treasurer Dudley. Genu U22.

It Is believed that the great prosperity of Whitman was mainly responsible for the large majorities of the Republican electors. No county in the state makes a better Republican showing. It gave three votes to McKlnley for two to Bry an. Four years ago It was overwhelm ingly Fusion, and two years ago, al though Jt gave majorities to all but one Republican candidate, the vote was close. A notable feature of the Yakima County returns is that, although this is the home of Schtvely, Rogers' chief lieutenant, the Governor's vote here was smaller in pro portion than ha other counties. On their state ticket, the Democrats polled an av erage of 1060 votes, and the Republicans had 130. Frink ran only 86 votes behind his ticket Rogers ran 140 ahead of his ticket, and apparently got about 23 Pro hibition, Labor and Social Democratic votes. Every Republican candidate for a coun ty office was elected, in spite of the fact that the Democrats had an unusually strong ticket. Republican majorities range from 25 for the office of Superin tendent, where the Democratic candidate was a woman, to 500 for Auditor Kelso. Republicans believe that this county may be safely put in the Republican column for good. CASE GOES TO THE JURY THAT OP- HERTZICA, THE PORT LAND CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST.

Wooduurn Branch to Be Connected With Main Southern Pacific Line. i EUGENE, Nov. 14. A force of survey ors, under Engineer C S. Freeland. has been set to work bv the Southern Pa olflc Company making the final survey of the line from Springfield to Henderson, which is to connect the main line with the branch from Woodburn to Natron and Wendllng. The work of construction will begin early In the Spring. This connect ing link will only be about two miles long, but in that distance an expensive bridge will have to be built across tbe Willam ette River. Mrs. Quint. The court explained that the defendant was guilty, if he expected j to receive compensation for his services, i theh fact that he had not received pay ' for his services did not condone the of- ; fens.e, if any had been committed. In his charge to the jury. Judge McBride read the indictment charging Hertzka , with violating the statutes of 1S95, regu lating the practice of medicine and surg ery, showing that It was unlawful to use any drug, medicine or agency of healing without first obtaining a license' from the State Board of Medical Examiners. He also read the provisions of the act In full, setting out that the violation of this law nas a misdemeanor. Christian Science was an agency for the cure of disease, and this treatment would come under the provisions of the law. If a fee were , charged, or there was an expectation of receiving one, it would be a violation of the law. The court's Instructions were to the effect that the law was made for the protection ot the public against cre dulity, and before one is granted a li cense to practice medicine or heal, he must jp&sb an examination Before a com petent board of physicians. However, If medicine Is practiced without requiring or expecting remuneration, no statute is violated; that the matter of whether Christian Scfence religion is right or wrong, does not enter Into the merits of the case. The duty of the Jury is to de cide whether or not the defendant made charges or expected to receive remunera tion for his services. Senator Brownell made the closing ar gument for the prosecution, and after pre senting ln Interpretation of the law In the premises, quoted the Scriptures to prove that Christ's manner of healing was far different from -that used by the Chris tian Scientists, who claim to be his fol lowers. Christ did not use prayer to heal the blind and lame, but used material things as ointments In connection with his Divine healing power and In many Instances laid his hands on the afflicted persons. Christ and his disciples annointed themselves with oil, while the Christian Scientists do not use material things at all only prayer. He asserted that many good women became completely imbued with the principles and study of Chris tian Science, and that the danger lies In the fact that the mother might have such faith, that a physician might not be called when the child was afflicted with a virulent, contagious disease, Until It was too late. There were fewer spectators In the courtroom than on the previous day, only about a dozen Christian Scientists coming up from Portland. One peculiarity about Hertzka is the fact that he has never been seen alone while attending this court. The women members of the faith have been with him continually, appar ently deeply Interested In the outcome of the trial. The concensus of opinion Is to the ef fect that the jury will disagree, al though the unexpected may occur. It Is generally conceded that If Hertzka's and Quint's "evidence before the Coroner's jury had m been permlssable before the jury, a conviction would have been a certainty. this- afternoon. The celebration will con tinue all this week. For Extradition of Yuenfrllnjr. NEW YORK, Nov. H. The extradition proceedings In the case of Frederick G.

Wttllam Piper, who lives about four miles this side of Sweet Home, was here today, making in quiry for J7 W. "McMullon, who left m borne October 21 for Albany, and who ha3 not been heard of since. Mr. Piper says that some years ago McMullon sold his farm of -400 acres to J. W. Gilbert, and took a mortgage on the property. A short time ago he bought the fqrm back, and October 24 left for Albany to cancel the mortgage, and have the deed recorded. He was at Mr. Piper's home just before -Starting to Albany, and said he expected to be back in wa or three days. Several of the neighbors sent after articles by the, missing man, one family desiring med icine for a Blck jshlld. Mr. McMullon stayed near Waterloo the first night, and the next morning proceeded on toward Albany. He was seen to pass a house two miles this side of Waterloo, which is the last that Mr. Piper can hear of him. He bad relatives in Salem that he had In tended visiting aeon, and Mr. Piper com municated with them, but they had not seen or heard of bim. Mr. McMullon Is a bachelor, and is prob ably 50 years of age. He la a. small man, with dark eyes and gray hair, and Is supposed to have considerable Jnoney. He drove a pony team, one black and one bay. He Is a very quiet man. and was never known to drink. -His friends and relatives are considerably alarmed about his disappearance, and fear he has been foully- dealt with. i CRIMINAL ADJUDGED IXSANE. Kleptomaniac Who Raided Wheat Farms In Washington. COLFAX. Wash., Nov. 14. Godfred Closner, who has been In the county jail for the past month awaiting trial on a charge of grand larceny, was today ad judged insane, and, will be taken to the asylum at Medical Lake. The offense with .which Closner is charged was the steal ing of grain from farmers in the eastern part of Whitman County. He would take a- load of wheat from a flefa during the night, drive to Moscow,, and there sell the grain in the wormnr. In this way he sole about $700 worfn of wheat and oats. While driylBg out of a farmer's field near Johnson, with a load of stolen grain, he was captured by the owner of the. grain and an employe. Closner man aged. o escape from his captors, and the farmer then for the first time reported the continued thfefts to the Sheriff, giving a description of the thief. Four days later Closner was captured In Starbuck, about $750 being found concealed on his person. When first brought back here he attempted to starve himself, and for eight days did not eat, anything. The County Physician then took the case In hand, and fed him by artificial means. Within a week he was apparently per fectly well and sound, admitted his guilt and stated tp the officers that he had! been shaming Insanity. Physicians report that Closner is an ac complished actor and kleptomaniac. About 10 years ago, while he lived in the Big Bend country, becoming angered at a neighbor, he shot hl3 enemy in the back. The man was not killed, and after ward refused to prosecute Closner. A little later, however, Closner became em broiled again, and this time was caught setting fire to his enemy's house. To escape belng.sent to prison, Closner again pl&yefl the same gaine, as that he has just played, and was sent to the asylum. He was soon discharged as sane. MONEY IN RAISING POTATOES.

SALEM, Nov. 14". Charles B. Dalley. formerly a member of the State Board df Horticulture, experimented this season with several acres of potatoes,, with a view 16 determining whether there is a profit In jotato-rowing and what vari eties will pay best. in speaking of his observations,. Mr. Dalley said that he learned first of all that In order to make potato-grbwlng pay tho best, a man must be in a position to give his. crop proper attention when It needs attention. Mr. Dailey has been ex tensively engaged In growing, curing, and dealing in prunes this season, and gave his secondary consideration- tp potatoes. But under this condition, his crop paid a heavy expense bill and left a margin that makes good wages for the time em ployed. So far as varieties are concerned, Mr. Dailey Js convinced that for .moqey'-mak-ing the Burbank is the potato to grow. Other varieties may produce a heavier crQp, but none other finds so ready a, market at good prices as does the Bur bank, He also found that the selection of seed Is more Important than most people think. It was formerly the cus tom of farmers to save their sfhall pota toes for 6eed. They are gradually giving up this mo'hod, and are using large, well-formed potatoes for seed. But Mr. Dalley thinks the question Qjt size and uniformity is not so much a considera tion as the "blood." He says that the producing characteristics of the seed are more important than the. swes ot tne po tatoes planted. In other words, potatoes that have been allowed to deteriorate through years of planting are not fit for seed, even though the size may be good. Whatever the variety, scrub seed will not produce as good crops as seed that retilns all the characteristics of the variety. BEESON MURDER CASE.
