t ewoaeratloa rMslkllltles Great.
-With tha connectlnr link of a rail
road between Corrallls and Rugene,
which Is now assured, the possibilities
of co-operation will be unlimited.
"As to the question of duplication be
tween the two schools there can be
bat a small percentage of flnancla
loss, even when there Is duplication
throughout. Tha percentage of loss, aa
a maxim, can be no mora than & per
cent, and on an average no greater man
4 per cent. Should a class unit be esti
mated at St students for one class I
la plain that whether these 10 are in
ana school or another that the cost for
Instruction aad Instructors must be
only so much for any Individual unit of
10 pupils. The only loss that could
be sustained would be trirougn a rrac
tinn of such a unit.
But tha Stat Board of Higher Cur
rteula hss removed duplications from
the schools and has absolute power to
do away with othera If they should be
found. Tha duplication In the two
schools now ts very slight and means
practically no added expense.
Efflrleary Mala Maadard.
"With co-aperatlnn the schools will
be brought to their htchrst degree n
efficiency and the co-operation will
mean much more toward the ultimata
success of tha students than consoll
dstlon.
"The advantage of Isolation of cer
tain classes of students from other
classes Is very clear In my mind and
I believe is clear In the minds of all
alio have taken occasion to study the
science of education.
"But I am satisfied, aside from the
conditions mentioned, that tha plan of
consolidation could not carry, even
though there might be m. majority In
favor of the Idea itself, from the fact
that there would be a factional differ
ence In arriving at the details of the
plan.
"At all events, co-operation of tha
schools, aided by tha railroad Conner
tlon which la bound to come within a
short time, will be a much more favor
able solution of the problem and mean
much more to. the students and the
state, than consolidation."

This is one of tha most open Winters
Eastern Oregon has enjoyed In many
rars. There hss been so little snow
this far that very few stockmen have

past few years, has been in demand at
from 115 to !?0 a ton Is now going
begging at H.iO.
The hay is so far from market It
ran only be handled to advantaae by
feeding, and cattle are so high the
ranchers cannot afford to purchase an
Imala to eat their hay for them. As It
Is many ranchera have paid such high
prices for feeders they cannot get even

creating a Port of Vancouver will be

to work In conjunction with the Gov

ASTORIA'S CHARTER PROVISION

Judge Approves Creation of Sanitary
and Reclamation Board Case
Taken to Supreme Court.
ASTORIA. Or Jan. 1. (Special.)
The Astoria charter amendment provid
ing for th creation of the sanitary and
reclamation board and authorising the
building of a bulkhead and filling In of
th tide flats In th business section.
Is constitutional. Such was tha ruling
handed down Saturday by Judge Camp
bell, of the Circuit Court.
The decision was In the case of C.
G. Palmberg and others against the
sanitary and reclamation board, asking
for an Injunction preventing the board
from making the proposed improve
ment. Th action, however, waa a
friendly one and was brought merely to
get a ruling from the Supreme Court
before any expense Is Incurred.
In his ruling Judge Campbell went
over all the points carefully. Tha first
objection to th measure was on tha
ground that the nam of Franx Kank
konen as a commissioner had been
dropped and that of O. W. Splcer sub
stituted. The court said that If the
voters Tiad Intended that only the nln
men named should serve as commis
sioners that alteration would have been
vital, but the meaaure provided for tn
filling of vacancies on th board ana
thus the question which the voters
were deciding upon was the accomp
lishment of an object, that of filling In
the tide flats, not th personnel of th
commission, so that the objection was
not well founded. For a city to do the
work, whloh this measure Intends, said
the court, ts not unconstitutional. Un
der th police powers It has the right
to fill In land for the protection or in
public health. The objection that the
bill creates a tenure of office for long
er than four years, continued the court.
is not well taken, for that inhibition
Is placed only against the Legislature.
"In fact." said he. "w have no con
stitutional provision governing Initia
tive measures. There are, however, one
or two provisions in th act which
may be found contrary to the Constitu
tion of the United States. Particularly
the one which says that In the matter
of assessment of benefit and damages.
tha ruling of the oommlsslon shall be
final. I think If a property-owner ob
jects to the assessment placed on his
buildings, the court could change the
assessment. If it saw fit. However,
that is not vital to the measure as a
whole. So I shall hold th act consti
tutional and dismiss th Injunction."
An appeal la to be taken Immediately
to the State Supreme Court In order
that a ruling may be secured and the
commission can proceed with Its work
early In tha Spring.

GILL 10 SHOW
EX-MAYOR. OF SEATTLE FLAXS
CAMPAIGN- IX OPEN.
Former Official, Say Friends, Will
Appoint Ed. Cudlhee as Chief
of Police If Elected.
SEATTLE. Jan. 1. (Special.) E
Mayor Gill plans to announce, hla
friends say, that if elected Mayor
again he will appoint Ed. Cudlhee, for
many years a city detective and for
four years Sheriff of King County,
Chief of Police. Gill also Intends to
base a part of his campaign on a
promise to remove J. D. Ross, super
intendent of the lighting department,
and probably George Stetson, chief of
the fire department. It will be the
Gill programme to announce in ad
vance the men whom he would appoint
to these positions.
As the Gill advisers have figured
it out, the ex-Mayor will have to lay
all hla cards on the table face up in
the coming campaign. He will be
specific In his announcement of plans
affecting; different city departments,
and probably will rely upon his repu
tation for "staying out" on political
promises to Inspire confidence in hla
municipal programme.
It already has been declared-by the
ex-Mayor that he Intends to oppose
consolidation of the two telephone
systems, and he has declared that ha
believes a municipal telephone system
eventually will be the most logical so
lution of that difficulty. Incidentally
Gill Is strongly opposed to the adop
tion of the Bogue civic center plans,
and probably will oppose them from
the stump or in a letter-writing cam
paign that may take the place of some
speech-making.
