S. I'la'.t- The bill was discussed sec
tion liv section. Harmony marked the
conference, although H. C Campbell
and I. X. Flelschner occasionally In
jected considerable Irony la their com
ments. ScYrrml SeUnn4 Jvbatetl.
The sections that brouirht out tha
most discussion were those giving; to
the superintendent of Instruction ex
elusive control of tha administration
of the public schools and tha appoint
ment of teachers, aubject to the ap
proval of tha board, and giving; him
practically complete authority; the ap
pointment of commissioner of achool
property, who shall ba held responsible
1 r tha condition of all achool prop
ertlea and tha construction of new
r.u!l2lngs; a three-year term lor mem
ber of the School Hoard: the deposit
ing of school funda to be let to banks
nk!n( the highest btd: a provision
tat the Circuit Court shall have power
ti remove any member of the board
for raise upon petition of any two
members or a petition aliened by 100
legs! voters: a section jrlvlns; the
Mayor power to fill vacancies that
might occur on the board by appoint
ment for the unexpired term and a
section dlsquollf rlnsr members Inter
ested directly or Indirectly In contracts
awarded by the School Hoard.
The first section to brine about dis
cission was that disqualifying; mem
bens directly or Indirectly Interested
In contract amarll bv tha board. H
C Campbell and I. X. i'lelschner asked
whether. If a member of the board
should ba connected with a business
house from which a contractor pur
chased supplies, that would disqualify
fclru.
Extreme- XoC Meant.
-I think It would." said Mr. Hank.
The bin iyv Mlrectly or Indirectly
Interested.' "
"We unit have a rul or no rule.
Insisted t'latt. "Most people are tor
erne. 1 by sense of propriety, but some
are not."
T'.ie section was finally screed to
without hange, tho common under
S'amiln.? belnic that It would not be
applied In Ita extremes.
Another discussion cam up over tha
nimx of vacancies on tha board by
appointment by the Mayor.
"What's the matter with tha board
f'lirnc I's own vacavtacies"" asked Mr.
Campbell.
"Th Intent of the bill its to pre
vent the board from being self-perpetu-tnnf."
answered .Mr. Latourette.
"Why can't the board fill Its vacan
cies the same as tii City Council
Inquired Mr. Ileach,
"I believe we soiiM fret tho best re
sults by the Mayor's appointing tha
new member." said Mr. llaak.
This section was left unchanged.
The deadlock In the conference ram
over the section providing a tnree-year
tm Instead of five, which carried
with It the legislation of tha board
out of office.
"Present members of tha board could
ruJ again." auwtrested Mr. Ilaak.
Lon;rr Term .d-rocatcl.
"I you think a member of this
board woulj eomo oat and run aain
after beinat legislated out of officer'
asked Mr. Flelschner.
"Tho board will bo mora efficient
unler a five-year team than under a
three-year term. It takes about two
years for a member really to become
useful and his beet work Is dona In
the last two years." aald Mrs. Eaton.
"That Is true under tha present sys
tem." aaid Mr Haa. "but under this
bill tne superintendent of Instruction
at I the commissioner of properties
would take much of the work off tho
board. I'nder tho present systsm tho
ivoard baa entirely too much to do."
"I am opposed to legislating; 'mem
bers of tho board out of olflco." aaid
llr Piatt.
Mr. MosUrae then suggested a four
year terra as a compromise, bat tho
board was as much opposed to tho
compromise ss the original provision.
Professor Foeter aaid It waa not wlso
to make rapid change In an adminis
trative tody that demanded a continuity
of purpose, and tho board members unan
imous, r expressed themselves satisfied
irith tho present term.
Tho section giving tha superintendent
of Instruction tho power to appoint
teachers ar.d make transfers and pro
motion brought from ilr. Flelschner a
vehement protest.
Too MtK-h Power Jtrptored. .
The si perl n teed on t rf Instruction la
giver entirely too much power." .he de
clared. "You people are look:r out for
rmff n the schools and right hero
you aro otn the very thl-is you era
undertaking to prevent. Supposing teach
ers ahould glvo to. 118 or ICO for an ap
pointment. That section Is too strong:
It gives tho superintendent too much
power."
Mr. Campbell saw no necessity for a
change In present methods and Beach
was of tha opinion tho section gave to
tho superintendent tho power to prevent
tho election of teachers suitable to tho
board by not recommending them.
"The only successful system Is to sepa
rate entirely tho leglalatlvo and execu
tive functions of the school authorities."
said Professor Foster. "If you desired
to make a change In tho superintendent
and called upon any of the available
men In the country the first queetlon
they would ask would be. 'Will I have
authority to select my own teachersT If
-ou would not give him that authority
you could not get blm. Let the superin
tendent have the appointment of Jils
teaehers and make him responsible."
The section providing that all expendi
tures exceeding U should be let by con
tract waa opposed by the board. It waa
pointed out that the board would spend
more money advertising for bids than
the contracts amounted lo. and that It

1910 RECORDS ECLIPSED
Jau nary Totals Show Portland Is
Going Ahead In Postal Receipts,
Building, Bank Clearings
and Grain Kx ports.
Statistics for January show no fall
lng off in the wonderful progress that
marked every Phase of business activi
ty In Portland In 1310. livery trade
index again marks an Important ad
vance over tho figures of tho corre-
soondlnx month of .the year belore.
Postal receipts, bank clearings, build
ing permits and grain exports all tell
tho same, story of tho city's boalthy
business condition.
I'orhaps the most reliable trads
barometer la furnished by tho receipts
of tbo postofflco from tho sale or
ataraDS. The exsct amount of stamp
sales could not bo given positively yes
terday by Postmaster Merrick, but he
estimated the total to be .4is.us. ana
thin will bo very close to the amount.
In January. 1910. tho stamp sales were
t;i.:6.b7, and tho Increase Is 15.SJ per
cert.
Tho bank clearings for the month.
Including those of yesterday, were
H1.J4J. 301.76. excoedlng those of Janu
ary. 110. which were 3S.05S.S(l0.7s. by

Building Gain I.e Huge.
Building permits last month num
bered 414 and represented structures
of an aggregate value of t992.SK. This
was an Increase over 33S permits Is
sued for buildings worth $6:4.110 In
January. 1910. The Increase amounted
to I36S.400. or a percentage of 69.
The most striking fact about the
building permits was the continued
large number of dwelling houses. Of
last month's permits. ISO were for
dwellings, and all but nine of them
are to be constructed on the Kast
Hide. This shows beyond question
that rortlund'a growth is continuing
St a rapid rate, for the Winter months

Wheat shipments were large In Jan

ing that 11 cargoes were cleared, com
prising 1.2S9.S74 bushels, valued ut 1.

bushels, or 252 per cent, over the cor
responding month of 1910. Of flour,
6:. 611 barrels, valued at 1.110.444. was
shipped last month, aa against 25,530
barrels In January. 1910. the increase
being more than 100 per cent. Coast
wise wheat shipments last month were
46S.5 bushels, a gain of over 432,163
bushels shipped In January, 1910. Lum
ber shipments to California were 7,
460.000 feet, a gain of 400,000 feet. The
offshore lumber was Inconsiderable, a
condition due to a variety of causes
Several cargoes were dispatched for

ports.
' Ileal estate transfers last month
showed a marked decline from the rec
ord of January. 1910. Tho number of
deeds recorded waa 1448. representing
property valued at 11.570.183. The
total for January, 1910, was $2,328,802.
Livestock Receipts Large.
January waa a lively month at the
Portland Union Stockyards. There was
a gratifying Increase In receipts, which

STEVENS SEESNEW WORK
North Plains Enthusiastic With
Promise of Development.
John F. Stevens, president of the
United Railways, took a trip over the
line from Portland to North Plains, the
present terminus of the road, yesterday
morning. He was pleased with tho re
sult of his visit.
Prot?ress was. observed In the construc

The people of North Plains showed
much enthusiasm over the visit of tho
railroad president. They endeavored to
show how they are building; up a modern
town, one that will meet the needs of tho
community that will develop from the
completion of the railroad. Several new
business places have been established and
many new homes will be erected.
