The canvass, once begun, will be pushed to early com pletion, so that the work can be extended to other parts of the state. The amount remaining to be raised is $200,000. The secret societies will be expected to take stock liberally, and to reach them a strong committee was named yesterday. It is composed of the following men, who are well known in all the orders: R.

X'NIVERSITY OF OREGON, March 16. -State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion J. H. Ackerman lectured before the educational club of the university Tues day night, on the subject of "School Ex pansion." The theme of Superintendent Ackennan's address was a plea for utili tarianism In education. He presented the Idea that true culture in education comes from the study of those branches which teach something useful, and he believes that the old-time classic course, though It will probably remain with us for gener ations to come, has long outlived its use fulness. "No advance in education," says Superintendent Ackerman, "Is more sig nificant than the growing thought that the studies of the highest practical use fulness are just the studies In which lie the highest possibilities of culture. It is Important that young people learn to honor those-employments that are In some sense productive. The true culture In everj -walk of lifcls that knowledge which enables man to link his own activities with all things that are. Such education embraces the truths and laws, the tech nical knowledge and skill, needed for the highest efficiency in his vocation; it gives him that sense of dignity and worth that grows from a knowledge of the extent and meaning of the social service that he performs; it exalts labor to Its true posi tion in social esteem." A UNefnl Publication. Professor Luella Clay Carson, head of the department of English, is compiling for publication in pamphlet form lists of books to be used as supplementary read ing in the public schools of the state. Professor Carson has spent considerable time in corresponding with .teachers, su perintendents and publishing "firms all over the United States, to ascertain from the best educational sources in the country what, in the opinion of those best able to kno-v, was the proper material for supplementary reading in the publlo schools. The book is to aid the teachers in selecting the reading matter for their students, and will contain tabulated lists of books suitable for the various grades, -with the names of the authors, the pub lishing houses and the selling price. In addition to lists of books for classroom work, there -will be lists of books intend ed for general library uses. The publica- , tlon will also include lists of books for high schools and academies, and a few suggestions to aid teachers in pursuing their own course of reading. Professor Carson, in preparing this work for the . public schools of Oregon, has consulted , with J. H. Ackerman, the State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and with the members of the State Text-Book Com mission. She has been assisted in her work bjj.Mtep JrkjBgV .Roe, Instructor in English. Chemical Seminar. At the last meeting of the Chemical Seminar. Ray Norris, '03, presented a pa per on "The Development of Chemistry," while Orin L. Stafford, the assistant in the chemical department, gave a lengthy dis ousslon on "The Taste of Acids."

McElroy has presented the university library a number of valuable educational works, a portion of the col lection of the late Professor E. B. Mc Elroy. The collection consists of 194 vol umes and 140 pamphlets. Arrested for Forgery. HILLSBORO. Or. March Ifi Tnhn Rip- mar, the forger, was arrested this evening by Sheriff Sewell and lodged in the County Jail. He was found at the farmyard gate of his father-in-law's ranch, where he had for some hours been refused admittance to the house. Siemar does not appear to realize the enormity of his offense. He said he had 40 acres of land near Mepper, 111., and that it was worth. $60 an acre, and that he had the land sold at a better figure, but the intending purchaser's wife died Just as the deal was about to be ef fected. He Intended taking up the forged instrument with the proceeds of the sale. Siemar has no possible conception of his wrong, and was surprised at his arrest. Starting Him Out Right. SEATTLE, March 17.

PHILIPPINE COMMERCE. Imports and Exports Tloth Show In crenseu. "WASHINGTON. March 16. Tho Insular Division of the "War Department has pre pared for publication an extract from its regular monthly bulletin of the commerce of the Philippines, comparing the eight months ended 'August 31, 1901, and 1900. It is shown that the total value of merchandise imported during the eight months ended August 31, 1501, was $19, 618,596, against $14.5S0,457 for the simo period of 1900; and tho total value of merchandise exported during the eight months ended August 3L 1901, was $16, 925.405, against $15,92S,013 for the same period of 1900. The Imports show an Increase of 35 per cent during the period of 1901 as com pared with the same period of 1900. In the exports there was a 6 per cent In crease In favor of 1S0L Tho Imports from the United States, exclusive of gold and silver, during the eights months of 1901, was J2,470,050, being an increase of 64 per cent over thi same period of the pre ceding year, while the export figures show $1,960,687, or a slight Increase In favor of 1901. The import figures show a gain of near ly $1,003,000 on foodstuffs and in manufac tured articles of nearly $4,000,000 for the eight months of 190L Agricultural ex ports for the period mentioned show a slight increase during 1901, the showing for this period being $14,539,SS7, of which amount $9,436,56G is accredited to hemp, the leading article of export.

The Wash ington annual meeting of the American Tract Society was held this afternoon In St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church. The Rev. Judson Swift, field secretary at New York, presented a brief report of the secretary's work, and the Right Rev. Alexander Mackay Smith. D. D., preached the sermon. Dr. Smith dwelt on the splendid work the society Is doing among the Mormons, Immigrants and in our Island possessions, as well as its general lines of service for the salvation of souls. The secretary states that 37 new publica tion had been added during the year 20 In English, the others in German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. The number of peri odicals circulated during the past 12 months was 2,632,400. Four hundred and eighty-seven thousand Immigrants landed on our shores during 1901, and the tract society having published the gospel truth In 153 languages or dia lects, Is prepared to reach this vast mul titude. During and since the Spanish "War 2,639, 520 pages of Christian literature in the Spanish language have been distributed In our island possessions, and elsewhere In Spanish-speaking countries 5,600,925, mak ing a total of 3,300,445 pages in the Span ish language, and 10,113,975 pages have been given to the Army and Navy during the same period. The distribution of Christian literature in the Mormon homes by means of colporter wagon and colporters, for the purpose of reaching the children and youth, have been very successful. The de mands for the society's publications and additional colporters are constant. Its re sources, therefore, are taxed to the ut most, and an earnest appeal is made for funds.

The longshoremen are most bitter to ward the Metropolitan Steamship Line, which will take back only a small num ber of the old men, and the Clyde Line, which will not discharge the men already employed to make places for the old hands. The strikers also refuse to go back to tho Merchants' & Miners' Line and work with nonunion men and, sub mit to a reduction of 5 cents per hour In their wages.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. Depressing: Influences Prevented Much Activity. LONDON, March 16. Too mapy de pressing influences were abroad last week to permit of much activity on the Stock Exchange. Money is still scarce, and there is no prospect of this scarcity being relieved by large government disburse ments until after the Easter holidays. The health of Cecil Rhodes added to the depression of the stock market, although It Is confidently asserted that arrange ments have been perfected to avert a se rious disturbance in the event of his death. The capture of General Methuen was the most serious factor of the week from the sentimental point of view, although the suppression of this news by the gov ernment until the concluding of the set tlement prevonted what doubtless would have been a disastrous slump of the mar ket. There is no question that the Stock Exchange Is now in a healthier condition than It has been for several weeks past, owing to the drastic shaking out of the weak bulls, but there is no disposition to embark upon fresh commitments at the present moment. New Issues met with scant encourage ment in tho exchange, and Americans were absolutely stagnant. Home rails were dull and lower. Mines were dull, at only a slight decline on the week, but their general range was from 10 to 15 per cent below the high level of the early part of the year. Blaze In Terminal Yards. There was a slight fire this morning in the union terminal yards at Ninth and AGE OF SPECIALISTS FOR MEN The ability of a Physician is measured by the CURES hemakes, arid not by the number of dis eases he treats. ., -A- great many people do not seem to understand the difference between the general practitioner and the medical expert who has devoted his life study to three or four diseases. They seem to be under the impression that any physician cures every disease with equal success. It Is an every-day experience to have a patient say: "I have tried nearly every remedy sold by druggists for my trouble," and the Invariable verdict is, "No benefit." Another will say : "I have been treated by several family physicians In my neighborhood, who thought they could cure me, but the results proved other wise."

AFRAID OF THE SHEARS. How CheroUee Brnves "Were Induced to Enroll. MUSKOGEE, I. T., March 16. Rather than submit to a haircut, eight full-blood Cherokee Indians today enrolled before the Dawes Commission. Judge Raymond, of the United States Territorial Court, had ordered them to present themselves for enrollment under pain of contempt, and when they disobeyed, ordered their arrest. The Government officials pleaded with them to give in. but they declined stoutly. Red Bird Smith, their leader, making an impassioned speech in defense of their action. Argument being of no uvall, an order was Issued today that each prisoner should have his hair cut. They were lined up to take their turn In the barber's chair. "When the first Indian had lost his shock of hair, the others broke down and signified their willingness to enroll. "With sullen faces they signed their names to the enrollment and were released.
