(Special.) The expected legislative
probe into affairs at the State Training
School and State School for the Feeble
Minded apparently is coming, regard
less of the efforts made by members of
the State Board to keep the trouble
out of the Legislature.
Probably Senator Butler, of The
Dalles, will introduce the resolution in
a day or two. He is making a quiet
persona? investigation as to the Inside
of the affairs at the two schools and
is making preparation to introduce
such a resolution.
Senator Butler expresses himself as
believing that a probe should be car
ried on for the benefit of the people
of the state to determine the truth of
rumors and charges that have been
hurled back and forth.
The original trouble came up over
charges of laxity in discipline at the
State Training School.
Then Governor west, in hurling back
defiance at the accusers of the system
of the school, declared he would pre
fer charges against Frank Smith, su
perintendent of the School for the Fee-ble-Minded.
Smith is an appointee of
State Treasurer Kay.
When the matter apparently was due
to come to a head in an investigation,
scheduled for a day or two before the
Legislature was to open, the investiga
tion was turned over to Kay and the
public Investigation called off. Kay is
to report his findings to the Board as
to the Training School, while the Smith
charges apparently have been dropped.
Judge Butler believes that there is
possibly an end to the management
of one or the other or the schools and
possibly both, which should be inves
tigated and be bared to the people of
the state.
The question of lax discipline at the
Training School and accompanying
charges which have been made by em- i
ployes. as well as some others,
be the basis for the assumption of the
investigation on the part of the Legis
lative Assembly.
"When yon have eo far lost con
trol of your nerves that you "fly

give your nerves a rest and to build

about the month and forehead, the

the nerves and body are being
poorly nourished.
