HISTORY OF .OREGON Text-Book Commission May Be Called in August p Iadditjontocourseofstudy State-Teach era Association Has Made 1 tho Recommendation, In View of the Coming Lewis and Clark Centennial. SALEM, Or., July 7. (Special.) A spe cial cession of the State Textbook Com mission Trill probably be held some time early In August to consider the request of Sthe State Teachers' Association that a book on Oregon History be added to the list of textbooks. At the meeting of the association In Portland recently a resolu tion was unanimously adopted asking tho State Board of Education to outline a plan (for the study of the history of the Pa cific Northwest In the public schools, spe cial attention being given to the Lewis and Clark expedition. The resolution also asked the State Textbook Commission to select a book upon this subject suitable lor use in the upper grades. Copies of this resolution will be pre sented to the State Board of Education, to rthe Governor, and to the president of the Textbook Commission. According to the provision of the textbook law a special meeting of the Textbook Commission can fbe called either by the Governor or by the president of the commission. As the teachers desire that the books adopted fshall be ready for use in the school Hhls Winter, they are anxious that imme diate action be taken. No adoption can toe made until notices have been sent to textbook publishers so that they can submit bids, and about a month will be required to send out circulars and glvo publishers time to make their bids. After a book has been adopted considerable time will be required for the publishers to get the books In the hands of dealers ready to supply the schools. At best It will probably be October before the books will be ready for distribution. Governor Chamberlain Is in St Louis, hand will not return for two weeks or jmorc. so the officers of the State Teach hers Association will probably ask the president of the State Textbook Commls fslon to call that body together to consider Jthelr resolution. The commission Is com posed of H. W. Scott, president, Portland; fV M. Ladd, Portland; President P. I PCampbell, University of Oregon; Hon. W. M. Colvig, Jacksonille; Hon. C. A. Johns, Baker City. Frank Davey, of TSalem, is secretary of the commission. The resolution adopted Is as follows: "Whereas, The State of Oregon and the Pacific fXorthwcst are about to commemorate the 100th I anniversary or the Journey to this country by lycnls and Clark, and "Whereas, It Is desirable that every pupil in the public schools of this ptate should be fa miliar with the details of this journey; there 'Xorc, be it Resolved, That, in the Judgment of the Ore gon State Teachers' Association, the StaU Board of Education should outline a plan or ij stem under which this resolution may be car ried Into effect in the public schools in the i-varlous grades thereof, and that the State pTextbook Commission be respectfully asked to select a suitable supplementary text for study I in the upper grades of the public schools of this state. The resolution refers only to the upper Ijgrades, and It Is understood that the plan -of the teachers is to have pupils In the lower grades given oral instruction In Oregon history, while the pupils- use the ttextbooks in the sixth, seventh and eighth rgrades. "Where the book shall be used ln the course of study rests with the State tfBoard of Eductatlon, composed of the Governor, Secretary of State and Superin tendent of Public Instruction. The sub ject of Oregon history must be made a ipart of the course of study before the textbook can be adopted in accordance with that section of the textbook law, which says: "The adoption shall Include, jlextbooks for all branches of study spec lined in the state course of studies for schools of all grades, and no others." For many years there has been a gen--eral feeling that not enough attention Is fpald to Oregon history in the public 'schools, and the decision to hold an expo sition in 1905 In commemoration of tho .Lewis and Clark expedition served to "strengthen the demand that a special study be made of this subject. A number of books have been written upon the hls .tory of the Oregon country, giving special ,attentlon to the Lewis and Clark expedi tion, and some of these are designed for "use in schools. The State Textbook Com imlssion has power to accept or reject any fbook offered, so that in making the se lection the commission can secure the toook that will be best suited to the age iof the pupils who will use It In making bids, publishers must submit cample copies of books, together with in troductory prices and retail prices. The company receiving the award must make a contract to furnish books at the stipu lated price for the remainder of the six year period, which will end in 1907. The 'first adoption under the textbook law was tonade in 1901, and new adoptions must be onade every six years. fDESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE Vancouver Prisoner Shot Down While Wrestling for Possession of Rifle.

Farmers Have'Put Ground in Better Condition and Acreage Has Been Increased. HEPPNER, Or., July 7. (Special.) This will bo Morrow County's banner wheat year. The crops are now far enough ad vanced to be considered sure, and a rela tive and fairly accurate estimate of the yield can be made. For the coming crop, which will be the greatest In the history of this county, there can be assigned many good reasons. Climatic conditions have been favorable, good prices last Fall were an incentive for fanners to increase their acreage, and above all Is the fact that farmers have been doing better farm ing. The soil has been placed In a better state of cultivation and the result Is an In creased yield. The wheat crop of this county is now estimated at L100.000 bush els. This estimate is considered very con servative. The estimates are based on the acreage and also from the number of sacks contracted for by farmers at the different warehouses. All sack contracts this year have a clause In which no empty sacks will be taken back after taken out by the warehouseman. As farmers do not want to pay for unused sacks they are figuring closely. The average yield for Fall grain is placed at 18 bushels to the acre, while Spring grain is put down at 12 bushels to the acre. The recent rains have been of great benefit to crops in general. The heads are large and well filled and the berry will be plump and large. Every thing ought to go In this year as first class. In some localities heading has already commenced. In a week or ten days har vest will be general. As there are less than 5000 people In Morrow County, the greater portion of this crop will be for export The main portion of the home de mand being for seed, the amount of this year's crop for export is estimated at 1,000,000 bushels and will be distributed from the following shipping points on the Hcppner branch of the O. R. & N.: Heppner, 50,000 bushels; Lexington, 150, 000 bushels; lone, 450,000 bushels; Jordan's Siding, 125.000 bushels; Douglas, 165,000 bushels; Cecil. 0,000 bushels. Morrow County's largest previous crop was. in 1902, when there was 900,000 bushels reported. FRIENDS DISCUSS TEMPERANCE Difference of Opinion Leads to a "Lively Debate. NEWBERG, Or., July 7.
