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.
BETTER TIME ROai THE SOUTH.
Sckednlc From San Francisco May
3e Shortened Half a. Day.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2. During his
recent visit to California President Har
riman planned improvements and innova
tions on hia Southern Pacific system

an order "tor 25,000 tons of 80-pound steel
xalls,' or sufficient to lay 200 miles of
track. The lighter rails which the new
ones will replace- are still In good condl
, tion and will be laid on the small branch
.roads of the system.
One step In the work of shortening time
on the northern route has Just been ac
complished. Arrangements are about
completed for the introduction of oil as
fuel on the entire California system, and
the great oil tanks on the northern divi
sions are" ready for use. The operating de
partment has been engaged In effecting
the abolition of coal for some time. It
'has Involved the erection of a large num
ber" of storage tanks at different points.
This morning' It was stated In the office
.of the operating department that as soon
as the few requisite changes are made In
the coal-burnlng engines the recently
constructed, oil tanks on the" company's
Northern California lines, which are be
ing stored with liquid fuel, will eupply
the engines on the northern divisions.
The great tank at Ashland, Or., ca
pable of holding K.OOfr barrels of oil, has
Just been completed, and those at Horn
brook and Edgewood." with capacities of
15,000 barrels each, are practically ready
for -ubC At Dunsmulr' another 55,000-bar-rel

ciecinc power cecuseu kuiui 111 una kit-jr.
By tho completion- of a deal, the- San
Francisco Gas & Electric Company,
which formerly for years has been a mon
opoly, Is again in control. It has pur
chased for J6.000.000 the Independent' Gas
Company and the Independent Electric
Company. These two" were owned by
Claus Spreckels. It also absorbed the Pa
cific Gas Improvement Company's plant
and business, paying $5 per share for 133,
000 shares. The Equitable Gas Company
and, smaller concerns were absorbed on a
basis of exchange of stock. There will
be a reorganization Monday, and W. B
Bourn will' probably be elected, president.
The price of gas will be raised to a lit
tle over ?1 per thousand feet. In some
districts it fell to 50 cents under compe
tition. A prominent broker said today that Mr.
Spreckels, by selling out, had cleared over
$2,000,000 over his original investment, be

Government SHrveyor' Finishes Sar

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.

Disappearance of Little McCready
Girl at Corvallls lm Complete,
CORVALLIS, Or., July 2.-(SpeciaL) '
The disappearance of the McCready child
continues a mystery. Theories of va
rious kinds are afloat A covered wagon,
described as a family of gypsies, passed
the vicinity of the cherry orchard about
the time the child disappeared. That was
between 1 and 2Vclock In the afternoon.
The wagon went northward along the Al
bany road, and couriers went during last
night In pursuit Many people, however,
scout the Jdea that the child has been
stolen.
The favorite theory Is that the little
one went Into the Willamette. J. H.
Moore says from his tree he saw a child
answering the description of the missing
one far out on the boom In the river. He
thought .the position of the child peri
lous, but supposed some one was looking
out for her. Shortly afterward he looked
again, and the child was not to be seen.
The river In the vicinity Is shallow, and
was thoroughly dragged last night as
well as today.
If alive" the child is 6 years old today.
She had long light hair and dark eyes.
There was a slight scar near the nose In
her right cheek. When last seen she
woro black stockings and shoes, a red
dress, a reddish colored Jacket and a light
blue hood.
