THIS MOKNIJS'G OBEGG2UAN. FHIDAY, JULY 3, 1903. FILE REPORT IN TIME Gpunty - School "Superinfen fdents Are Given Warning, FUKDS APPORTIONED AUGUST f Siate Appertlonment Will.Be Lt y r- FliKre"io.Mlce'RetrK t'ke ' j State Tr'caiiHrcr BeXere. , Tkat Date. SALEM. July 2.(SpecIal.)The school officers whorrIa.il to make their- annual reports this year at. the time required by law are very likely to find themselves 4n Rouble. The annual apportionment of state school funds will be made on August t,. and the. apportionment Is made upon, 'the basis of school population as shown by the annual reports of County Superintendents. Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction J. H. Ackerman furnishes to the State Treasurer the statistics of population, and, in order that the figures may bo available' by August 1, he has ad dressed the following letter to all County Superintendents: "The tate Treasurer has Just Informed me that he will follow the law strictly this year and apportion the state school fund on August 1, even though all of the County Superintendents' reports may not be In on that date. In that case, any County whose County Superintendent fails to report to this office by that time would Jose its state apportionment for this year. 'I. write you at this time so that you may be ure to have your re port filed in this- office on time. "J. H. ACKERMAN, "Superintendent Public Instruction." Heretofore a number of County Super intendents have failed to report by Au gust 1, and Superintendent Ackerman . has been, compelled to spend a whole day trying to get by telegraph the informa tion needed. This will not be done again, and. If any county 'loses Its share of the state school money the County Superin tendent will have something to answer for to the people of his county. The usual excuse given 'by tardy County Superin tendents is that school district clerks do not report promptly to him. The law re quires clerks to report by July 10, so that the County Superintendent's remedy Is to require 'clerks to report by that time, eo4hat he will -have the information from which to compile his report. This year the County Superintendents will Und it- necessary to forward their reports in time .for them to reach Salem by August X even If they "must do so -without Including the population of some districts. If some of the school; districts lose their share of the money In the county apportionment the people will be likely to elect clerks who will attend to their duty more promptly.

MUCH GOOD TIMBER UNHURT. Government SHrveyor' Finishes Sar vey in Skamania County. STEVENSON, Wash., July 2, (Special.) Civil Engineer Robert Whitham, of Seat tle, has Just finished the Government sur vey of towns 3 north and range E. 6 and 7 east, W. M., we3t of here In Skamania County. He has been engaged two months In the work and now he and his party go to the St Helens district in this county to ht in the remainder of the Summer in surveying other 'tracts for the Govern ment Mr. Whitham says that fully one-halt the timber In the territory he has just fin ished has been destrdyed by fire, -yet there are some fine bofi'es of timber left Rock, Greenleaf and Hamilton Creeks drain this pountry and on their slopes are to be found a fine mixed growth of red and yellow fir, white pine, larch, hemlock and cedir. It Is in this territory that the big basin, lately scrlpped by the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company, - Is located. There Io much of the land which is good for agricultural purposes, especially adapted for stock-raising. Mr. Whitham deplores the factthat the Government has not seeded the tiurned district the same as was done last year In Clark County. Grass keeps the underbrush from start ing and furnishes a fine range for stock. The underbrush in this country is as much a menace to land clearing as the timber Itself and It la the underbrush which spreads the forest fires. The Government Inspectors will prob ably look over Mr. Whltham's work In August and no doubt It will be accented about the first of next April. GYPSIES MAY HAVE STOLEN HER.
