PREPARING FREE
TEXT-BOOK BILL
Representative Beveridge Will
Work for Measure in
Next Legislature.
NEBRASKA ADOPTS PLAN
Law Works Well After Trial of Five
Years Saves Money to Par
ents and Increases School
Attendance.
The free text-book question has been
renewed since the opening of the city
schools, and J. W. Beveridge, State Rep
resentative for Multnomah, is preparing
a bill for free text-books, which measure
will be presented to the Legislature next
Winter. Mr. Beveridge says the bill, if
enacted, will reduce the total annual out
lay for school books more than one-half,
but that this is only one of the ad
vantages of free books. Others are:
First They Increase the school attend
ance. Second They save time in the organiz
ation of a school.
Third They secure complete uniformity
of text-books in the school.
Fourth They enable teachers to control
better the organization and discipline of
the school.
Fifth They enable the teacher to en
force cleanliness and neatness and to
impress on pupils respect for books and
for public property.
Sixth They spread a richer course be
fore pupils in the lower grades.
Seventh They render more frequent
changes possible.
Eighth They take away still further
the barrier between well-to-do and poor
pupils.
That the average annual cost of books
per pupil would be between 75 cents and
Jl each, under the free system, and that
the present cost, including the high
school course, is not less than $2. is the
opinion of Mr. Beveridge, who has au
thorities in other states to back him up.
Nebraska's State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, William K. Fowler,
is one of Mr. Beveridge's authorities.
Says he:
Reduces Cost to Parents.
"Under normal conditions the average
cost per child (including children from
the kindergarten to the end of the high
school course) for books, when purchased
by the individual parent, would be not
less than $2 per year. Figuring on the
enrollment in the schools of the state
for the past five years ana the amount
spent for text-books and pupils' supplies
for the same time, an average cost of
64 cents per child per year is the cost
under -the plan of district purchase."
The Beveridge bill will limit the price
of books paid by districts to that granted
by publishers to any dealer or other dis
trict. This will diminish the cost con
siderably by cutting out retailers" profits.
Favorably inclined to the free book idea
is R. F. Robinson. County Superintendent
of Schools for Multnomah, who points
out that free books would enaoie tne
speedy promotion" of pupils to grades to
1 "which they -are- suited, whereas, teachers
, .hesitate to advance pupils between terms
because of the cost of books; and some
times pupils who ought to go back a
grade are kept advanced for the same
reas'ori.
Experience proves that where proper
care is exercised by the School Board
and the teacher, the free-book system is
popular and satisfactory, but that it be
comes a detriment and a nuisance when
ever pupils carelessly soil, mark, deface
or destroy the books. Teachers must ap
peal to the pride of pupils, enforce on
, them respect for public property and in
sist on Jiabits of neatness and . cleanli
ness. . , ..
They should make regular inspection
: of books at least once a month, no other
care agency being more effective. They
'. must also hold pupils responsible for
preserving, and returning books In good
condition.
' Nebraska Iaw a Success.
The Nebraska law was enacted In 1S91.
Five years later the law had found wide
spread favor as was evidenced by ques
tions concerning its success, put to county
and city superintendents, principals and
country school teachers, by H. R. Cor-.bett.-
then superintendent of State In
struction. The following are comments
from his report:
Is the average condition and care of books
better o: worse than it was in the same
schools under Individual ownership? Of the
164 answers received. 86 indicate 'better," 35
worse," and 43 Indicate no difference.
Does the free text-book system lead to any
Increase in school enrollment? Ot the 172
, answers. 129 say '"yes." 37 "no," and mix
are doubtful. ..
Does It promote regular attendance? -Ot the
181 answers 89 ttay "yes," 68 "no," and 14
are doubtful.
Is there any marked decrease In the en
tire cost of book to the community as. a
whole? Of the 1R8 answers, 128 are "yes,"
S3 "no" and seven doubtful.
ro school boards as a rule furnish books
more promptly and In sufficient quantities? Is
the supply more full, prompt and satisfactory
than when puplla furnished the books? Of
the 1T8 answers, lftl are "yes," 12 are "no"
and three are doubtful.
How Books Are Cared For.
What means are employed for securing- good
care of books? ''Regular inspections books be
ing Inspected and their contents recorded by
the teacher": "books numbered and charged to
pupils In text-book register": tact and care
on the part of the teacher": "pupils required
to purchase books lost or carelessly Injured";
"covers for books"; careful use of book
cases"; care Insisted upon by school boards";
"talks to teachers in Institutes and associa
tion' ; "circulars to teachers."
I consider it safe to affirm that wherever
proper attention has been paid to the ad
ministration ot the ,law, the results have
been nigniy gramying- to scnool authorities.
teachers and patrons. It is, furthermore, cafe
to assume that once having come to under
stand the advantages of this logical extension
of the free-school Idea, the people, of Ne
braska will hot willingly go back, to the
system formerly In use.
Mr. Beveridge thinks it will not be dif
ficult to secure passage of his bill. A
free-book law has been In operation in
the State of Washington for sight years.
ADJOURNS FOR TWO WEEKS
Bar Association Committee Defers
Action In Land-Fraud Matters..
No action was taken last night by
the grievance committee of the Oregon
State Bar Association relative to the
disbarment of lawyers Implicated in the
land frauds, and further proceedings
were postponed for two weeks on ac
count of the Illness of Earl C. Bro
naugh, a member of the body.

appear and show cause why he should
not be disbarred from practice in the
courts of this state, was absent from
the city at the time the notices were
sent out, hence had not been notified. in
time to arrange any defense, and this
fact also operated as a factor in the
postponement.
Judge A. H. Tanner was the only
one of the trio on hand, and he was
not detained long. H. H. Turner, the
Salem lawyer, who was likewise ac
cused, made no appearance.
The grievance committee consists of

Oscar Hayter, H. G. .Piatt and E. C. Bro
naugh, all of whom were present ex
cept the latter.
STATEMENT FROM DR. HILL
Pastor of Flr6t Presbyterian Tells
Flock Why He Resigned. ..
Dr. Edgar P. HilJ, at a prayer-meeting
held last night at the First Presby
terian Church, told his reasons for
leaving Portland. There was nothing
sensational in his remarks, and he had
only the kindliest words for his church
and congregation and for Portland.
Dr. Hill leaves Tuesday for Chicago,
where he will 'accept the position of
professor of homlletics and applied
Christianity at the McCormick Semi
nary.. Dr. Hill stated that when he left on
his recent trip to the Holy Land he had
fully Intended to return to Portland
to remain. He assured his congrega
tion that he had no Intention whatever
of staying away for a year, only to
come back and resign his pastorate.
He said he had been preaching two
sermons a week for over ten years, and
that he went away to store up a fund
of new knowledge by visiting the large
churches in the East and seeing the
Holy Land, so that when he returned
he would beprepared for another ten
years In this city.
When he received the unexpected
and unsolicited call from the McCor
mick Seminary, of which he Is a grad
uate, he saw an opportunity to aid
young men preparing for the ministry,
because of his many years of experi
ence. He thought they needed some of
the Western spirit, and Dr. Hill said he
deemed it his duty to accept.
Dr. Hill stated that he did not think
he would have accepted a call to an
other pastorate. He said his relations
with his congregation In Portland had
been so pleasant that he could not
haVA thoucrht of sroinar to another
rchurch.
ISSUED A BOGUS CHECK
Walter McDonald, Alias J. R. Burns,
Arrested by Police Detective.
Excess baggage in the form of names
and blank checks were prominent factors
in the downfall of Walter McDonald, alias
Jack Burns, alias J. R. Burns, alleged
bartender. He was arrested yesterday at
noon by John A. Mears, of the detective
bureau, and locked up in the city jail on
a charge of forgery.
McDonald, alias Burns, is accused by
Otto W. Nelson, proprietor of a saloon
at First and Morrison streets, of having
drawn a check for $50 on the Security
Savings & Trust company, which was
cashed by Nelson. When presented for
payment it was refused on the ground
that there were no funds there to the
credit of "J. R. Burns."
- Investigation by Nelson and the city
detective bureau revealed that Walter
McDonald, Jack Burns and J. R. Burns
are one and the same Individual, and
that the check was drawn and presented
to Nelson for payment simply because
McDonald needed the money.

Interest Increases in Associa

Success Is Promised.
NOW SUBSCRIBED, $87,803
Committees Complete Preliminaries
and Expect that Hand on Dial
Will Move Rapidly During
the Remaining' Days. .
The campaign of the, Young Men's and
Young Women's Christian Associations
for a modern new home is now fully
under way. Organization is practically
complete and nearly all the soliciting
committees are in the field, or will be
by this morning. Here is the story in
figures, of the enterprise thus far: . Ladd
estate pledge. $50,000: raised Tuesday,
$13,150; raised Wednesday, $13,035; raised
yesterday, $11,608; amount remaining to be
secured. $262,207.
Those figures do. not tell all, though.
If they did the outlook would be dis
courag, for no day thus far has been pro
ductive of its share in the 18 days given
to raise $350,000.- The work of organizing
and preparing the local field must be
taken into hand. Beginning today the
workers expert to reap the harvest that
has been sown in preparing big sub
scribers to loosen their purse-strings.
Sixteen days remain of the campaign,
and in order to meet success each day
must produce at least $16,488. The day
that falls behind this ratio must be
looked upon, in itself, as a failure,
although it is believed more than one day
-will fall to yield so large a return but
that others will make up the deficit.
Today Promises Much.
With the campaign now on in earnest,
with an army of workers in the field and
with many promises of large subscrip
tions, the work from today hence will
take on a most Interesting aspect. It is
believed by the workers that today will
be particularly a heavy one. One $15,000
subscription and several others running
up into four figures are counted upon. It
is thought that the tally-clock at head
quarters will Jump past the $100,000 mark
before noon. It should pass the $150,000
mark by Saturday evening.
Four large individual subscriptions were
entered yesterday. T. B. Wilcox added
$5000 to the fund, while J. C. Ainsworth,
P. A. Kribs and W. W. Cotton gave $1000
each. The Business Women's committee
took in $971, the Young Men's committee
$1122 and miscellaneous subscriptions
reached a total of $1515, bringing the total
for the day to $11,608 and the grand total
to $87,793.
Public interest in the struggle is gen
eral and the matter Is the subject of no
end of speculation and discussion in
clubs, homes and on the streets. None
but predictions of success are heard. In
fact. the possibility of failure is regarded
as being very remote. Nevertheless the
undertaking is & gigantic one and those
in charge declare that failure is not only
a possibility but that it can -be avoided
only by - the concerted help of everyone
able to lend a hand. '
E. J. Gillies, president of the West Side
branch of the Y. M. C. A. In New York,
was a visitor at committee headquarters
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Gillies ex
pressed admiration for the spirit and en
terprise shown by the local workers and
took occasion to inquire into all the facts
of the novel campaign with a view to
telling the members of his own branch of
the work upon his return to New York.
It was his belief that the enthusiasm of
public and committee workers cannot
carry the plan short of complete success.
Rallies to Be Held Tonight.
Tonight rallies will be held by both the
Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. at
their respective headquarters. At the Y.
M. C. A. rooms a special musical pro
gramme 'will be rendered and several
speakers will give their views of the
work, after which general discussion of
the campaign will be Invited.
Miss Constance MacCorkle issued the
following statement last evening to the
workers of the Y. W. C. A.:

POURING
NERVOUS DEBILITY
DEPLORABLE CONDITION CURED
BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
A Scranton Woman Telia HAw Sh
Waa Made Well and Strong
By This Remedy.
Nervous debility is the common nam
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "bines," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient's eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates nd
nrfmes at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no remedy better
adapted for this purpose than Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 8U War
ren street, Scranton, Pa., says: ' Some
years ago I became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
.system became so debilitated that I felt
wretched. I could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as I was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and I was generable miserable.
Then I decided to try Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, as my husband
had taken them with good results, and
they did wonders for me. Now X have
no more pain in my side, no more head
aches, I sleep well and feel strong and
able to do my work."
- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best
nerve tonio because they convey nour
ishment to the nerves in the Only way
that is in accord with the plan of nature
through the blood. These pills oured
Mrs. Davies and they can do just as much
for every weak, pale ailing man or
woman who is slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood such as ansemia,
indigestion, biliousness, headaches, back
aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
ness and even more serious nervous
disorders.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be Bent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 60 cents per box, six
boxes for $2.60, by the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. .
coming two years. After that, five of
the nine Councilmen and all the other
city officers are to be elected each two
years.
PROSPECTS FOR PORTLAXD
ALASKA MSE BRIGHT.
More Than One-Fifth of Necessary
Stock Already Subscribed Busi
ness Men Do Good Work.
Subscriptions aggregating $40,000
have been made for the Portland
Alaska Steamship Company, and Cap
tain Chilcott, who la representing the
company in this city, expressed the be
lief yesterday that the entire amount
needed, $180,000, would be raised. The
plan for raising1 the money which is
now being put in operation is to in
duce organizations of business men to
subscribe large amounts.
The Portland Realty Board, at a
meeting Tuesday night, subscribed to
$10,000 of the stock, and several other
organizations will shortly meet to con
sider the question of making sub
scriptions. The following committees
are assisting- in the work:
W. H. Beharrell, Captain William
Gadsby and Ira F. Powers, of the
Wholesale and Retail Furniture Deal
ers; M. G. Thorsen,-of the Paint and
Oil Dealers' Association; George W.
Weatberly, of the creamery men, and
W. B. Glafke and John A. Bell, of the
commission men.
Captain Chilcott stated yesterday
that when the season had closed
Seattle would have shipped approxi
mately 100,000 tons of freight to Nome
this year, exclusive of coal and lumber.
About 30,000 .tons of coal is shipped to
Nome each year, and about 6,000,000
feet of lumber. The coal goes from
British Columbia, but the lumber is
furnished by the Puget Sound mills.
