IS THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, : MARCH 21, 1920 T I Conference Representing Val ley Cities Called. FAIR PLAY FOR ALL IS AIM School Authorities to Meet in AI bany Friday to Work Out Schedule II Possible. A LEANT, Or., March 20. (Special.) School superintendents and members of school boards of the larger cities end towns of the Willamette valley have been invited by the Albany school board to meet here next Fri day afternoon for the purpose of agreeing so far as possible upon a schedule of teachers' salaries for the turning year and considering other matters of interest to the schools. The invitation has been accepted already by the school boards of Sa l"m, Eugene, Corvallis, Roseburg and McMmnville, and Is being- extended also to the schools of Dallas, Silver ton. Lebanon, Woodburn, Cottage Ur.ove, pringfield and Newberg. Trouble last year in many places over teachers salaries led to the con fercnee call. At a meeting of the Albany board this week Alfred C. Si'ftmitt and E. F. Wiles, members or the board, were named as a com mittee to see what could be done and decided to call this conference. They invited the boards of the five cities first named above and the idea was received so heartily that the scope of the gathering has been ex tended. It will be the first meeting of the kind held in Oregon. The call for the meeting recites that there has been a tendency on the part of larger centers to draw the better teachers from the smaller localities, and that when one city pays higher salaries than others teachers in the latter cities feel that they are not re ceiving a square deal. The plan is to .try to equalize salaries and create a better fading. The invitation says there has been dissatisfaction and disturbance among teachers and that while board mem bers want to be fair in determining salaries the interest of patrons and taxpayers must be consulted, too. The aim of the conference is to achieve fair play for all concerned. The con ference will be held in the directors' room of the Albany, library at. o'clock next Friday afternoon.

Robert Kerr and Blair Stewart took the negative side on the home plat form, while Horace Dryden and Mau rice Buxton represented Corvallis at Tillamook. Up to this time the "cheese" county debaters had lost but one Judge's de cision and had nearly as good a record at Corvallis. The question was the same as that debated in the preliminar- contests last month in which Corvallis also won two unanimous decisions: "Resolved,-That the uso of the injunction in labor disputes should be prohibited by federal law." By winning the district ' champion ship Corvallis is entitled to take part in the valley championship debates to be held at the University of Oregon some time in May. MODELS TO SHOW STYLES m LIPMAX, VOIFE & CO. FIAXS GREAT FASHION SHOW. SEATTLE, Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) With earnest discussions and busy sorting over of packs and boxes. the sourdoughs are creating quite an undercurrent of cnmnintfnn in the routine of things in Seattle hotels Pretty Girls to Appear in LatcM TEACHERS INJECT VOTE fContinued From First Pas.) both the state and county contribu tion to the common school fund would be - increased from $10 each census child to $-0. The tentative pgramme agreed upon by the appropriation committee which was in session here from Monday until Friday, includes provision for legislation at the spe cial Region increasing this allowance to J10 from the county and. $15 for the state. This compromise is declared unsatisfactory to the school forces . who point out that under such ar rangement the increase would only give the educational department $1,750,000, whereas it Is estimated ..$6,000,000 additional is needed. The agreement to take up the matter for , consideration and to grant any in crease is construed by the teachers as an opening wedge and they declare their purpose to press their advantage and failing to secure a just recogni tion of their demands to invoke the initiative. The school forces are de termined but as yet unorganized and apparently are suffering from lack of political leadership. 'The teachers lay stress on the fact .that, as they declare, the Issue in " veived is fundamentally the one of pro jecting the common school system of the state from complete collapse rath er than the incidental one involving increased pay for the teachers, citing that at the present time the teachers could secure more remunerative em ployment in other lines and hence it ih not a personal matter with them. Opponents Are Buay. With the educational conference in session at the high school auditorium, opponents of legislation to provide for the schools at the special session have had an opportunity to confer with the new members arriving and . have not overlooked the advantage to "be gained by presentation of their ar gument In advance of the teachers. The republican caucus has not been called officially but it has been sug " treated that deliberations begin early in the afternoon in view of prospects for a long drawn out session. , Attending the educational confer ence are: J.

OLYMPIA, Wash., March 20. Wash ington's legislature meets here Mon day noon in a special session, the third special session in 30 years of statehood. Governor L. F. Hart's message will be read to the legislature soon after the law makers are called to order. The message, it was thought torfight. would urge ratification of the suf frage amendment, favor a bonus for returned service-men and ask for financial relief for the schools of the state. Members of the legislature, it is thought, will follow Governor Hart's suggestions. The governor has held several conferences this- week with members of the joint appropriations committee and a tentative programme was drawn up. There is little chance that the session will be long and it appears that the number of new bills will be held to a minimum. Increase of tlje general fund tax levy limit from three to five mills probably will be voted by the legislature.- The state bureau of super vision and inspection of public of fices has announced that such an in crease is unavoidable for th'e state is facing a heavy deficiency at the close of the present biennium and many schools and departments cannot func tion longer unless immediate steps are made to get money for them. The officers of the last legislature, Dr. P. H. Carlyon, president of the senate, and Fred A. Adams, speaker of the house, will call the two bodies to order. Dr. Carlyon has been here all week and Speaker Adams arrived at noon today from Spokane. these days, preparing for the annual exodus to the north, and every boat is carrying its quota of miners, freighters, traders and fishermen inte the Alaska territory for the summer season. The exodus has been under way since March 1, but the real movement is just commencing and by May 1, according to the knowing ones, every one who expects to make anything of tho summer in Alaska will be on his way. Silver Strike Attracts. There is no evidence just now of any rush to the gold and silver fields, Dut among, those who have been with the sourdoughs for the last 10 or 12 years there's plenty of evidence of keenest interest in the tales of the silver strike in the Tukon territory, on the Stewart .river and in the develop ment of old Forty-Mile district. Proj ects being developed by eastern cap ital are taking north many who seek merely to put in the summer working for pay, but it is the conseusus of opinion among the old-timers that the day is past when the prospector may head into the interior, etake out a claim and make money at it. Freight is still too high. George Barrett, one of the real old- timers, got his key from the room clerk early in the afternoon today and started for his room. At 4:30 he had progressed no farther than the elevator and was stalled there talking it all over again with J. M. Price, who for more than 20 years has been mining and freighting the Forty-Mile neighborhood. Sale Arts S300.0OO. Mr. Barrett is said to have sold one of his properties for $300,000 last fall and is going north soon to try it once more. Things are livening a lot at Forty- Mile with the development work going on, according to the Forty-Mile group. No new .strikes there, but Eood. steady nlacer mining and nlentv of it.

"For several years I have been both ered with rheumatism in my shoul ders and right arm, and nry joints ached so bad I could hardly do my work. In cold weather I was in almost constant pain and it was impossible for me to sleep to do any good. Then, several months ago, due to overwork and to my badly run-down condition, my health just seemed to break down all at once. I lost my appetite, my stomach went back on me and I began to lose in weight rapidly. I couldn't touch a bite for breakfast and I could hardly retain anything I ate at other meals. I suffered with terrible cramps in my stomach and I would bloat up with rn until I felt miserable. It was a job for me to get around and I got so weak I felt 'all in' all the time. "When I saw what laniac was ao ing for so many motormen and con ductors I decided to give it a iriai.
