LIMIT WORK OF
NORMAL SCHOOLS
State Board Lops Off All High
School Pretentions at
: ". Institutions.
MUST TEACH PEDAGOGY
Monmouth and Drain Permitted to
Continue, Provided . Support
Comes From Private Sources.
Required to Make Reports.
SALEM, Or.. July 18. (Special.) The
most Important action taken by the
Board of Regents of the Oregon Normal
Bohools today was the adoption of a rule
which practically Insures that these in
stitutions will hereafter do strictly nor
mal school work. This rule, together
with the course of study, requires every
normal student to carry at least four
etudles. Including English, pedagogy and
methods of teaching. Thl requirement.
If observed in the schools, will prevent
the use of the normals as local high
schools, for the work In pedagogy and
methods runs through all four years of
the course.
It has long been charged that the nor
'mals were to a great extent doing the
work of local high schools and turning
out graduates who had not thought of
ever entering the teaching profession.
One of the presidents admitted today
that this has been true, and he added
further that in some Instances the nor
mals have served as local business col
leges, teaching stenography and type
writing to students, who attended the
state school for these branches alone. In
order to get the names of local students
on the roll and make a showing before
the legislature, these branches were
taught at the normal.
Normal Course in High Schools. '
Another important action taken by the
Board was an lnstruclton to the commit
tee on courses of study to report a one
year course In pedagogy for high schools
having a four-year course. The Idea Is
that a very large number of the teachers
In the public school are vhigh Bchool
graduates who have had no normal train
ing. . Since the schools must rely largely
upon these teachers. It Is thought that
they will make better teachers if they
have some professional teachers. The
plan also contemplates that high school
students preparing themselves for work
as teachers shall be given some training
by practice teaching in the lower grades
of the public Bchools In the dty in which
they are attending high school.
The board has decided that Jtfonmouth
and Drain normals, which are without
appropriations, may be conducted this
year, provided funds therefor are raised
by private loan, . donation or tuition
charges. The tuition charge Is fixed at
J12 a year, except that Monmouth may
charge $25 if the faculty so directs. Here
tofore .Ashland and Monmouth have
charged $25, Drain S10 and Weston $15 per
year.
The general rules adopted by the board
ere about the same as have been observed
in the past In the management of edu
cational institutions except that the nor
mal presidents will confer with the ex
ecutive committee upon all important
business matters and all supplies will be
purchased by the secretary of the board.
The course of study covers all the sub
jects required in the state examinations
'tnd methods of teaching each of the
'common school branches.
Must Make Annual Reports.
The annual reports required of the
presidents win enable the board to re
port to the Legislature Just what each
normal has accomplished and how much
it costs each institution per capita to
educate its students.
The board has ruled that this year's
appropriations do not cover any new
buildings or additions.
The following committees, have been
appointed:
Executive committee. Chamberlain,
Ackerman, Hofer; finance, Benson, Ayer,
Spence; teachers, Bragg, Maler, Acker
man; libraries, Jewell, Hofer, Ayer;
courses of study, Ackerman, Bragg,
Jewell.
A very amusing incident occurred this
afternoon when Governor Chamberlain
asked Secretary Starr to read a letter he
had received from the janitor of Ashland
Normal. The Janitor in this letter applied
for re-election, and in asking for a higher
salary pointed out that he receives but
S40 a month, while President Mulkey of
that Institution "receives $160 and occu
pies rooms in the basement and has a
snap." The Janitor Intimated that his su
perior officer did not like him "because
Mulkey Is an Irishman." The members
of the board and the other normal presi
dents enjoyed a hearty laugh at Mulkey's
expense, but the laugh is probably on the
Janitor, for the board referred the appli
cation to President Mulkey.
The normal board of regents concluded
its work tonight and adjourned.
MAYOR JOLTS , COTJXCILMEN
Declares They Can Be "Taken In" by
W ildest Faker Who Comes Along.
TACOMA, Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Mayor Wright was in a bad humor today.
Speaking of the special water commit
tee's action regarding a deep well and of
Contractor Austin, who says he will put
down the well for half of the estimate,
the Mayor declares:
"The wildest faker that comes along
can get a hearing from this Council and
the wilder his scheme the more apt he
Is to get their approval."
He criticized President Doud for say
ing during a recent Council session that
the administration should see to It that
the saloon laws are enforced and said
in part:
"Doud and the rest of them are hot to
take the power away from the adminis
tration, but when they want to hedge
themselves, then they try to throw it
back to us."
Speaking of Councilman' Whitman, he
said:
"Whitman's got himself Into a tangle
that he can't explain. Glblett has got the
whole bunch on the run. They are a set
of fakers, the whole bunch."
FOfXD ADVERTISING PAID
Albany Woman Got One Husband,
Tried Him Out and Took Another.
ALBANY, Or.. July 18. (Special.)
Because the matrimonial bureau forgot
to discontinue her advertisement after
It had won her one husband, Minnie
E. Dolen found another which she liked
better and Judge Galloway was forced
to repair the damage In the divorce
court here. Within 11 days after she
left George W. Dow, her Albany hus
band, she was married to John Chrls
tensen,, at Blyn, Wash. She didn't
bother with the formalities of a di
vorce. Dow, who was the plaintiff in the
divorce action, tried in the State Cir
cuit Court here, testified that they
were married October 7, 1905, having
become acquainted through the medium
of a matrimonial bureau. Dow is 70
years old and his wife 50. They lived
together until February 27, last, when
Mr. Dow left. Then the plaintiff
learned, he testified, that during their
wedded life his wife had been in cor
respondence with other matrimonially
inclined men, her card still appearing
in the advertising magazine. He also
heard that she had gone to Blyn,
Wash., and there he went to investi
gate, and learned that his wife had
been married 11 days "after she left
Albany to Chrlstensen. In securing
a marriage license, Mrs. Dow had given
her name as Minnie E. Dolen, the same
one she gave when ehe married Dow.
The woman acknowledged she en
Joyed greater happiness living with
Chrlstensen than with Dow, so at the
latter's request, she went before a
Justice, signed away all claim or In
terest to any of Dow's property and
Dow returned to Albany to secure his
decree.
BORING FOR Olli IX MALHEUR
Companies Are Signing Agree
ments With the Land Owners.
VALE, Or., July'18. (Special.) The ma
chinery that was purchased by a corpora
tion headed by Mr. Hurst, of Portland,
previous to his death, has been removed
from the oil well location about 16 miles
north of Vale and passed through here
Saturday enroute to the new location. The
new well will be sunk near the Frank
Vines ranch. The company is headed by
Judge Eakin and Mr. Benson, and Is
known as the Benson-Eakln OH Company.
Most of the stockholders reside at Baker
City and In" Union County. They have
other machinery en route and expect to
go to a depth of 2000 feet or more If
necessary. The field has been explored
by experts and it Is said to have every
indication of oil. It is estimated that
over 100 locations have been filed in this
county. The companies are both signing
up land. The one headed by Mr. Taylor
will probably put its first well down, at
Ontario but has signed up a number of
farms through the Malheur Valley, agree
ing to share a certain amount of the
profits with the farmers in case oil is
located on their ranches. In case artesian
water Is secured, but no oil, then the
farmers secure the benefit of the flow of
water. Local people are taking up a
number of claims In the proposed oil
fields.
RAPS WALKING DELEGATES
Seattle Pastor Terms Them Harmful
Adjunct to Labor Unions.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 18. (Spe
cial.) The Rev. . W. H. Rees, pastor of
the First Methodist Church, today de
nounced walking . delegates as an ad
junct of unionism that only inflames
the membership and does no good.
The Rev. Mr.' Rees' denunciation was
prompted by a movement on the. part
of the Ministerial Association to send
delegates to the Central Labor Union.
"The church and the labor unions
ought to get ' closer together," said
Rev. Mr. Rees. "but that can only be
accomplished when the walking del
egate and the mouthy agitator are
extarminated. The attitude, in con
sequence of the teaching they have
had from these gentry, of tne labor
unions toward the churches has been
one of open hostility, and nearly every
overture that has been made to them
by the churches has been treated
with derision, by the self-constituted
leaders, and their followers have been
led to believe that they would not be
welcome in the sanctuary of God.
The walking delegate is a nuisance,
and It is a wonder to me that his deluded
followers have not, before this time,
recognized the fact."
ABERDEEN FANS ARE UNEASY
Fear Enforcement of Blue Laws Will
Place Ban on Baseball.
ABERDEEN, Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Notwithstanding the unwillingness of
the city officials to enforce the Sunday
law, it looks tonight as if Aberdeen will
be closed tight on Sunday. The city
officials will have nothing to do with the
case and the county presecuting attorney
says that under the charter governing
cities of the second class, passed by the
last Legislature, Aberdeen is a law unto
itself, and he cannot act. However, it
Is the opinion that there will be a
closed town. Attorney Boner has ordered
the lid put on throughout the county, ex
clusive of Aberdeen. Baseball fans are
worrying lest the ban be applied also to
Sunday ball games.
It is reported that the recently or
ganized Ministerial Association of Gray's
Harbor, was instrumental in starting the
reform on Gray's Harbor and made its
starting point at Hoquiam.
REVENUE FROM CORPORATIONS
State of Idaho Will Receive $50,000
In Taxes This Year.
BOISE, Idaho, July 18. (Special.)
It is estimated by State Treasurer
Hastings that the State will derive
at least 150,000 a year as taxes from
the corporations of the State. This is
the first year that a tax has been re
quired of them, and many of them are
slow in responding to the notifications
Bent out by 'the Secretary of State.
Only 1013 have sent in their state
ments as requested.
The amount of taxes of the 1013
corporations which have filed their
statements is $48,948. The law re
quires all corporations to file their
statements with the Secretary of State
before July 15, but they have until
August 15 to remit the amount of their
taxes to the State Treasurer. About
$12,000 has been deceived.
TOO LATE TO SAVE HER CHILD
Mother Finds Her Babe Is Dead
When She Reaches Hospital.
TACOMA, Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Holding her dying baby in her arms Mrs.
Patterson, of Spokane, hurried from
Point Defiance Park last evening with
her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, to the
Fannie Paddock Hospital only to find
that her baby was dead when she reached
there from the park about 8 o'clock. The
party were waiting for the car to return
when Mrs. Patterson gave a scream as
she noticed the deathly pallor on the
baby's face. They hastened to the city
to seek medical aid and stopped at the
hospital as the nearest point. Mrs. Pat
terson's husband is a commercial traveler.
FISH ARE MORE PLENTIFUL
Good Catches of Salmon Reported at
Astoria Many Are Xarge Ones.
ASTORIA, Or., July 18. (Special.)
There has been a slight increase in the
run of fish during the past few days and
some fairly good catches are reported,
especially by the gillnetters. This is true
In all sections of the river and the seines
are doing better than at any previous
time during the present season. One
strange feature is the percentage of large
fish, fully 76 per cent of those caught
weighing over 25 pounds each. This keeps
the cold storage pack to the good, but the
cannery sack la still far behind.
BUILD AST FROM DETROIT
HARRIMAN TO EXTEND, C. & E.
. TO EASTERN OREGON.
Head Officials of Road Making Trip
Over Survey Through Cas
cade Mountains.
ALBA NT, Or., July 18. (Special.)
A trip which is believed to portend the
extension of the Corvallls & Eastern
railroad into Eastern Oregon in the
near future, was begun this morning,
when George F. Nevlns, manager of the
C. & E., and John Stevens, superin
tendent of bridges and building, left
Albany for a trip across the Cascade
Mountains on the railroad survey.
They went by train to Detroit, where
they will take horses. Nevlns and
Stevlns were accompanied on the trip
by E. D. Cuslck, a local banker.
It is no secret In the local offices of
the C. & E. that the trip Is made for
the purpose of investigating the feas
ibility of future building along the
survey made years ago all the way
across the mountains while the Cor
vallls & Eastern was being built. This
survey crosses the mountains through
the Minto pass, which is said to be the
best railroad route across the moun
tains anywhere in Oregon.
While , on this trip Manager Nevlns
will consult with the business men and
farmers in the vicinity of Prinevllle
ESTEEMED PIONEER WOMAN
CELEBRATES 80TH BIRTHDAY.
Mrs. Elizabeth Perry.
HOULTON. Or., July 17. (Special.)
Mrs. Elizabeth Perry, whose chil
dren, grand and great-grandchildren
celebrated her 80th birthday at. the
residence of her son. " George, and
hie wife, near Houlton, today, came
to Oregon In 1845 from Muscatine,
la., and has been a continuous resi
dent of Columbia County since that
time, with the exception of four years
in Tamhtll. Bhe is probably the
best-lovedi woman in Columbia Coun
ty, her sunny disposition having- made
ner a favorite with everybody. In the
early days when doctors were scarce .
she practiced medicine and mid
wlfery, and no road was too rough
and no right too dark for her to go
to the assistance of a suffering man
or woman, withaut any considera
tion rs to whether there was a fee
to be had. Mrs. Perry is In the beat
of health and physical and mental
activity. There were 18 grandchil
dren and eight great grandchildren
at the celebration, besides a number
of her old friends, including Mr. S.
A. Miles, of St. Helens.
and Bend, who recently submitted a
communication to the railroad to the
effect that if the railroad would ex
tend its line across the mountains, they
would build a good wagon road to the
terminus and market their produce and
receive their imports over that line,
instead of hauling to Shanlko, to meet
the Columbia Southern.
This trip, as well as other indica
tions of the past few week's, lead to
the belief here that the extension of
the Corvallls & Eastern across the
mountains and possibly across the
State is a matter of only a few months.
DRUGGISTS MUST TOE MARK

Sodawater and Cigars. -
OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 18. (Special.)
Drug stores which sell soda water, cigars
or anything except drugs straight must
close on Sunday, according to an opinion
rendered today by the Attorney-General
to the Prosecuting Attorney of Skagit
County. The latter has been trying to
enforce the Sunday closing law and
complains that drug stores have laid In
Btocks of candy, tobacco, etc If they
do this, the Attorney-General says, they
have lost the right to be knon as drug
stores, which are exempt as such under
the law.

SPOKANE. Wash., July IS. (Special.)
Allene Ragan, & years old, is coveted by
three women, and habeas corpus proceed
ings have been begun in court in Moscow,

BRISTOL IS ACTIVE AGAIN
READY TO RESUME TRIAL OF
LAXD-FRAUD CASES.
Additional Appropriation of $20,000
Slakes Possible Continuation of
Work Only .Well Begun.
That the Oregon land fraud cases are
Boon to be resumed, now that $20,000 haB
been placed at the disposal of United
States District Attorney Bristol, in ad
dition to the $7000 previously allotted,
was Indicated by the busy air of the of
fices In the Federal building yesterday.
Throughout a large part of the day Mr.
Bristol was closeted In his office, and it
is believed that he was working out the
preliminaries of proceedings that ' are
soon to He launched. Just what cases
are to be taken up are not known, but
definite announcement of renewed activ
ity against the land conspirators is ex
pected soon.
For some time the land fraud cases
have been at an absolute standstill, to
all outward appearances. Mr. Bristol
lot it be understood that he could not
proceed with the funds that the Gov
ernihent had placed at his command,
saying that the $7000 forwarded him in
response to his request for ten times the
amount was only a drop in the bucket.
Now, however, with the additional $20,000,
announcement of which was published in
The Oregontan yesterday, it is supposed
he will not longer delay operations.
Mr. Bristol yesterday declined to make
any statement in regard to the land
cases, or to discuss in any manner his
increased appropriation. He was too busy
to talk over the matter, he said, and
could not be seen in regard to the matter
either yesterday afternoon or last night.
Earlier in the day the District Attor
ney was in conference with Judge R. A.
Balllnger, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, but the results of this con
sultation were not announced.
PARENTS THREATEN . APPEAL
Resist Juvenile Court's Interference
In Edna Slingerland's Case.
It is probable that an appeal from
the findings of the Juvenile Court will
be taken by the parents in the case
of Edna Bllngerland, and if this Is
done It will be the first on record. The
girl was taken in charge by the Boys'
and Girls' Aid Society last Winter on
the order of the court, because the
girl was not kept away from the meet
ings of the Tongues of Fire.
A writ of habeas corpus was re
cently granted, and yesterday Attorney
Strode made known in the Circuit
Court that he wished a hearing; at
once. The reason for this he said was
that the time in which he might take
an appeal had nearly expired, and he
wanted time in which to make out the
record in case it should be found
necessary to appeal the case.
The girl was first taken in charge
by the court because she was per
mitted to attend the meetings of the
Tongues of Fire sect, but as her par
ents promised that she would not be
allowed to go to them any more she was
released. This promise was broken,
and the child was again taken into
custody.
A, F. Flogel, the attorney for the
Aid Society, and Superintendent Gard
ner are not in town. Judge Gilbert,
for the society, requested a con
tinuance of the hearing, but the at
torney for the sBlingerlands opposed
it. The hearing was continued until
this morning.
SUES TWO CITY DETECTIVES
Wong Chuck Wey Demands $2019.
75 Damages Tor Trespass.
Detectives Kay and ICIenlen are again
in trouble. Wong Chuck Wey, who lives
with his wife and three children at 229
Alder street, has filed suit against them
to recover $2019.75 damages for alleged
mental and physical injury done to him
self and his family on July 13. The com
plaint sets forth that on this date Kay
and Klenlen unlawfully broke down the
outer door to Wong's house, and violently
assaulted him, driving him from the
premises. Mrs. Wong and the children
were very much frightened, having re
tired for the night. The complaint also
alleges that the detectives proceeded to
search the premises, taking with them a
pair of gold ear-rings belonging to Mrs.
Wong, worth J8.50, and a gold ring worth
$6.25. The Chinaman says that the door
was worth $6. ,
Wong Is a member of the firm of Tuen
treeta, Portland, Oregon.
- - - $1.00, $1.60, $2.00 per Day.
Wo Company, of 138 Second street. He
thinks the mental and physical anguish
suffered by himself and family is worth
$2000, and therefor prays for Judgment
for $2019.75 and costs.
SMITH HEIR FILES PROTEST
Asks Rehearing on Settlement of
Deceased Father's Estate.
I. B. F. Smith, son and one of the heirs
of H. A. Smith, has filed a petition with
the County Clerk asking that the final
account of the estate be reopened for
hearing. The petition says that on Au
gust 26, 1905. without Issuing notice to
Mr. Smith or to his attorney, the court
caused an order to be entered In the Jour
nal of the County Court settling the final
account of the executors, and that, not
knowing that the case was at that time
to come before the court, the petitioner
did not have an opportunity to file ob
jections. As soon, however, as Smith
knew of the action of the court he filed
a remonstrance through his attorney.
This was in December, 1906.
In May, 1908, the petition states, a mo
tion for reopening the matter was made,
and again the subject was taken up In
July, 1906. Mr. Bmith says that it Is a
manifest injustice and wrong to him for
the court to ignore the objections he has
filed, and to refuse to hear or consider
them, and that it is also unjust for the
court to make a decree settling the estate
without giving him the opportunity of
being heard.
ENJOINS RAILROAD COMPANY
Terwilllger Estate Brings Suit
Against Oregon Electric Company.
Agents of the Terwilllger estate and
of the Oregon Electric Company were
heard yesterday before Judge Frazer,
in an effort of those interested in tne
estate to secure an injunction to pre
vent the electric company from going
on with its railroad work on the tract
until the suit which has been appealed
to the Supreme Court is settled.
A condemnation suit was heard some
time ago in the District Court, and the
railway- company ordered to pay $27,
000 for its right of way through the
tract. This it considered too much,
and the company took an appeal, in the
meantime going ahead with the con
struction work. The agents of the
tract hold that the company should
either pay for its right of way at the
present time, or keep off the tract
until the suit is settled.
Juvenile Court Boys' Outing.
Judge Frazer's Juvenile Court- Boys
are on the tiptoe of expectation, for
they are to spend tomorrow after
noon and evening at The Qaka. They
will leave the waiting-room at First
and Alder streets on a special car at
1 o'clock. Between 60 and 75 young
sters will be in the crowd.
