TEXT-BOOKLISTCOMPLETE
OREGON COMMISSION BRINGS
"WORK TO A CLOSE.
ITS
Compliments Paid Commissioners
XBd Governor Geer for Excellent
Selections Made.
SALEM, Or., July 1L The Oregon Text
book Commissioners completed the selec
tion of text-books late thl3 evening. Three
certified lists of the books were made,
and tomorrow" ope .copy will he delivered
to Governor Geer. -one Jo Superintendent
of Public Instruction Ackerman, and1 one
will be retalofcr'by tie, chairman of the
board, H. V Scott, In order1 to avoid
any loss by acciaentt4be three lists were
kept tonight-by two members pf the board
and the secretary
The certificates pf adoption, upon the
credit of which contracts will be made
with publishers, are lengthy documents,
each filling 13 pages of legal-cap paper.
The certificates are signed by each mem
ber of the board and by the secretary.
The State Board xt Education, composed
of the Governor, Secretary of State and
Superintendent of Public instruction, will
enter Into contracts" with the publishers
as soon as possible, and some time In
August the official list of the text-books,
together with the prices thereof, will be
issued. The new books must be in use In
all schools In the state within 15 months.
Books can be bought at exchange prices
only until December 31 of this yeaf.
The work of the board today has been
Very tedious, and exacting. All the rec
ords were closely examined to detect any
error In the date of a book or the price,
Jar even a slight error In this respect
might be of large consequence,.
Estimate of Cost of Introduction.
SALEM, July 11. The following table
contains an estimate of the cost of Intro
ducing the new text-books In the public
schools. The number of pupils who will
buy each book Is taken from the estimate
of the American Book Company, but the
proportion of pupils who will buy at ex
change prices is not the same as estimat
ed by the American Book Company. Cap
tain Edwards estimates that 50 per cent
of the pupils will exchange old books for
new ones. Other bookmen say that from
75 to 30 per cent will make exchanges. For
the purpose of this computation SO per
cent is taken as a basis. This may bo
too large a per cent, but in view of the
liberality of publishers In the matter of
exchange and the stringency of the law
requiring that the books adopted be used,
Vhe pupils may be expected to get rid of
all their old books, so far as they have
use for new ones. As the number of pu
pils who will buy each book Is only ap
proximate, the figures given to represent
the total cost of an Introduction of new
books are also only approximate. In the
American Book Company's estimate of
the cost of the adoption of a list of books
offered by them, the old books on gram
mar and civil government to be readopted,
the total cost reached was 599,637.69. The
American Book Company exchange prices
were much lower than those adopted, but
their retail prices were higher. Their es
lmate Included $1116 for a new music
fcerles, this estimate containing no figures
on that subject

PUBLIC IS WELL PLEASED.
Compliments Paid CoinniiHHtoaers
and. Man, Who Appointed. Them.
SALEM, Juljr 31. The impartial and
business-like manner In which the Text
Book Commissioners have transacted the
business assigned them by law, has at
tracted general attention In Salem, even
among people not directly Interested in
school-book matters. The remark was
frequently heard upon the streets today
that tha results of this board's work will
do more than any other one thing to bring
about the renomlnatlon of GjWernor Geer.
After the text-book law went Into effect,
Governor Gepr said he would go over the
state with a fine-tooth comb to find the
best flye men In the state for appointment
on the commission. There was an early
scramble for places on the commission,
School teachers who had never before
been heard of outside their own counties
applied for appointment Politicians
sought the power which such an appoint
ment would give. One educator who has
since proved to be an advocate of the
text-books of a certain publishing house
was urged for appointment. But Gov
ernor Geer disregarded all these appllca.,
tlons and recommendations In favpr of
men of lesser qualifications and appoint
ed H. "W. Scott, -VV. M. Ladd, P. L. Camp
bell, W. M. Colvlg ana C. A. Johns, These
men were appointed because they were ca
pable of Judging of the merits of text
books, because they possessed business
ability, and because they had attained to
such a position in business and social
life that no one uf them could be suspect
ed of being open to undue influences.
The result has proved -the wisdom of the
appointments. There is not a man upon
the board but has sacrificed personal in
terests ln-order to fulfill a public duty.
Each member of the board receives $100
for his services, but each memher has
spent a largo amount of time In the last
four months (studying the merits pf text
books and listening to the arguments of
text-book agent?. Probably no other five
men of equalpromlnence could haye been
found who could afford to, and would,
make the personal sacrifices required of
the members of this board.
Of the work of the hoard, the Salem
Statesman has this to say editorially
This State Text-Book Commission has beep
a remarkable, public functionary. It has been
an enigma to the "various book men. It" la
something new to them. Each, member has
been courteous and patient to hear the claims
and suggestions of publishers and their agents,
but each has reserved his decision and with
held his encouragement or the reverse untU
the time fo final action, whet each Yc4Iot
came forth as an entirely now revelation,
every man with a book expectant and eacn
prepared to- find, himself left out. Nor has
there been any passing 01 the ordinary "cour-
tesles" of which book men ann other sales
men are usually lavish upon such occasions.
No -cigars, no suppers, no champagne, no
presents, no anything to propitiate kindness
or favors: the whole proceeding has been a
dry business affair without sentiment, with
out "pull." without "Influence," If any pub
Usher was cajoled Into bringing influential
wire-pullers to Salem to ''engineer' for him,
he simply Invested in a gold brick, for tbo
influential manipulator who might undertake
to get 1h his work would have been harmful
to the cduso he sought to serve.
Similar expressions of approval will bo
heard from all who hdve given attention
to the methods pursued by the board. It
Is not to be expected that all the books
selected will meet the approval of all
teachers. If is not probable that the se
lections represent in every case the first
choice of the members of the board. Prices
have been a prominent consideration, and
the Intention has been to get the best
books fr the money. In every instance
where a change bas been made, there has
been a. recuctic'n in price. In many cases
this reduction in ptice has been attended
with tha adoption of larger books. In
the opln'on of Ike board, the changes have
been for better books, so far as concerns
the manner in which tht various subjects
are presented.
AGENTS ALL LEAVE CAPITAL.
Packing: Up Not as Pleasant as Un
packing: for Many,
SALEM, Or., July 11. Packing up books
was for some not so pleasant a task as
unpacking them. Arrangements for de
parture from the capital began early this
afternoon, and the work was Tushed In
order that all might get away on the
afternoon train. When the agents arrived
they brought samples of nearly all the
books upon which they Jiad bid, and these
were arranged upon tables around the
room. The four day3' session has been
four days of hard work to all the agents,
and some of them were not only tired
but disappointed as they packed up pre
paratory to leaving for other fields and
pastures new., The agents have been en
thusiastic In pushing the claims of their
books. To each agent his text-books are
the best and only. Perhaps next year,
through varying business arrangements,
some of these agents may change employ
ers, and then they will be praising books
they have condemned and condemning
the books they have praised, They are all
able men In their Une of work, and very
agreeable men to meet. Perhaps to J. D.
Williams, of Maynard, Merrill & Co., be
longs the honor of being the best story
teller. O. P. Barnes, 01 Glnn & Co., la
acknowledged to be the handsomest book
agent of the whole crowd.
C03IPL1MENT TO COMMISSION.
Senator Daly Sots It Has Done Grand
Worl in a Clean Way.
CORVALLIS, Or., July 11. "The Text
Book Commission has done grand work In
a clean, business-like way, and It is an
honor to have been a member of It," said
Senator John D. Dajy, author of the bill
providing for the commission, today. Con
tinuing, he haid:
"There can be only one opinion of the
work of the Textf-Book Commission it is
grand, and fully justifies every good thing
that was said In behalf of the measure
when It was pending, and when Governor
Geer chose the members of the commis
sion with such wisdom. The law wa8
framed with three principal objects In
view first, clean -methods; second, good
books; third, fair prices, and pq ope will
say that all of these objects have not been
accomplished. The fact Is creditable, but
the manner of its attainment is still more
so. There was no unseemly strife, and,
above alt n scandal, and it is the first
Text-Book Commission that has met! and
parted for many a dayt here or elsewhere,
without scandal. Oregon h&8 set the pace
for Text-Book Commissions, and noth'pg
better has ever been done for the schools
of the state. ,
'The change has been sweeping, perhaps
more so than was expected; but a littSe
reflection will show that it was neces
sary. The books now in use have been In
use many years, and are far below the
present-day standard. If your child Is
to be educatedt it Is important, vitally
Important, thai? the best books should be
In his hands, and when you consider that
all the child's education costs you. Is the
books you furnish, and these wW not cost
over a. dollar a year on an average, I
think you will agree with me that educa
tion for your children is not expensive.
The exchange price of 50 per cent tfeae
the commission has received from the pub
lishers is practically an even exchange,
as the pupil gets a. new book for an old
one, and there are few old books that are
worth 50 per cent of their cost."
Glerk'Davy a Competent Official.
SALEM, July 11. Frank Davey has
served very acceptably as secretary of the
text-book commission. He kept the work
well In hand, and there was no delay on
that account, though the amount of writ
ing to be done was large.
CAVALRYMEN ON THE MARCH.

Judge Eakln has signed the bill of ex
ceptions prepared by the attorneys of

MINERS TO BE CALLED OUT
UNION REQUESTS 350 TO QUIT
WORK AT ROSSLAND.
Mineoivners Itefase to Advance
Wage -of 3Iuoker"Bltter -
Flgbt Is Expected.
SPOKANE, July 11. The miners In the
War Eagle and Center Star, about 350,
are to be called out tomorrow morning,
by the Miners' Union.
The nominal cause for the strike given
by the union lsa demand for an in
crease in muckers' wages from $2 50 to
$3 a day. Manager MacDonald, of the
Lerol, says he will not reopen the mines
except on a .scale of $2 fo,r muckers and
$3 for miners A "bitter fight is expected.
In a few of the smaller mines, the de
mand -of the muckers for $3 per day has
been granted and' a strike averted. The
closing down of the War Eagle and
Center Star will seriously interfere with
work at the Trail smelter. Conferences
of the opposing factions tonight failed to
prove fruitful.
The strike will affect' the Lerol and
other mines owned by British companies.
The trouble, which has been brewing for
months, started through the action of
the management in locking out union
smelter men at the Lerol smelter at
Northport. Wash. The Western Federa
tion of Miners took up the matter, and
have voted a sympathetic strike to as
slst the smeltermen whp are affiliated
with, the Western Federation.
HIGH HOP PRICES WILL NOT RULE.
Opinion of One of the Heaviest Deal
tors in tlio United States.
NORTH TAKIMA. July U.-Hugh F.
Fox, who is one of the heaviest dealers
In hops In the United States, arrived here
this week frnm New York,, accompanied
by his Western agept, A J. Ray, of Port
land. He was on a tour of Inspection of
the Coast hop districts. Speaking of the
Yakima hop, Mr. Fox said today:
"It Js different from any hop In thu
world. It has a flavor peculiar to itself.
Dealers In the East are becoming better
acquainted with the Yakima hops, and
they are growing In favor. It is often a
difficult matter to get a brewer to make
the change from the hops he has been
used to, but once he has tried the product
of your valley, it is more difficult' to get
him to use anything else. I find that
fewer contracts have been made In the
Yakima Valley this year than elsewhere.
This speaks well for the financial condi
tion of tha growers, fop not many farm
ers will contract their crop unless they
have to do It to get money to operate
with. I should say that Yakima hopmen
are moje prosperous than those of any
other district with which I am acquainted.
"I believe the world's hop crop this
year will be Dne of the largest ever picked,
and, therefore, do not predict high prices.
J am today in receipt of cable advices
from England which state that the weath
er is favorable, and that .English hops
are In a most flourishing condition. Jn all
parts of the United States the yards are
In first-class condition."
The statement of Mr. Fox regarding the
peculiar flavor of Taklma hops Is borne
out by the experiments of Senator Hem,
rich, of the Seattle Brewing & Malting
'Company. Mr. "Hemrich for several months
has had on the market beer made from
Yakima hops, which has been regularly
sold here, and the peculiarities of its
flavor, alleged by Mr. Hemrich to be due
to the hops, have been generally comment
ed on. Mr. Hemrich is now erecting a
plant on the Moxee farm, near town, for
curing hopSj according to a method of hi
own, which is similar to that used in
Germany' for' curing. He considers 'the'
experiment of last year quite successful,
and on the strength of It will oxpend quite
a large sum on the plant.

SCALES BY THE WHOLESALE
Indications Arc They Haye Been
Shipped to Oregon for Bounty.
ALBANY, Or., July 11,-Through the
shrewdness of County Clerk Hammer,
a wholesale business In the disposal of
coyote scalps was stopped this morning.
Yesterday evening a young man giving
the name ot Harry Ellison, .presented
25 coyote scalps to the County Clerk for
the $2 bounty on each. As only 10 or 15
coyotes are killed In this county In a
year, and the young man did not seem
to know much about Whatcom, near
which place he alleged to have shot them,
assisted by his uncle, the suspicions of
the County Clerk were aroused and he
refused to pay the bounty until further
proof was given. This afternoon upon
telephoning to Salem, Eugene and Cor
vallls, It was learned that about 25 coyote
scalps had been redeemed at each place,
at Corvallfs last month and at Salem both
last month and this month. At this city
also last month. 22 scalps were taken In
the absence of the Clerk by a deputy,
from a man giving the name of George
Welch. Upon being informed that
two men had been arrested at Eugene
this afternoon the deputy went to that
cl(y to Identify them. The Indications
are that scalps have been shipped in
from another state and that a wholesale
business has been done among the coun
ties Of Oregon.
