THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY, EVENINO, JULY 18. 1D08. FIGHT SCHOOLS Normal Decision Puts Drain on the Teck Spirited Campaign Expected When Next legislature Takes Up Question. . DR. M'INTYRE'S ADDRESS STIRS LARGE AUDIENCE Beware of Cheap The ghost of ths biennial normal school battle Is not laid. If anyon believes that there will be no normal school controversy in the next legist ture just because the state normal school board recently decided that there should be three normal schools and that the Drain normal should be the sacrifice on thr altar of educational economy, those persons are qulto mistaken. There will be A fight and just as lusty a one as the Drain adherents are captible of putting- ud and luuglng from past iegi latlve history that Is something of a dissension. Douglas Has Xlok. People of Douglas county are not at all satisfied with the dictum of the liormnl school board which recom mended that there should be no more teachers Droduced from the Drain school. They are looking with envious tyes at Monmouth and at Ashland and luuieuu uitiL 11 uiiy ouxiiuio piiuuiu abolished by law that, one of these should feel the official knife and not Drain. They point to the fact that the board Itself was very much divided over the question or cutting; Drain orr tne official list and argue that If the board could not agree until after a sort of compromise arrangement had been ef fectert that there is s-ood reason to be lieve that the legislature will also be well divided on the question and that as a result there will be a good rignun chance for the retention of the school. And the Drain neoDle like to take a fighting chance when they can get the thin ng mi tiea up In a cackage and Handed to them Four Marks. The people of Drain and of Douglas county, and perhaps of other contiguous counties, nave a,n argument against me elimination of Drain that Is of some force, according to their logic at least. When you begin to talk to a man from that locality about the normal school question he gets out a map of Oregon and makes four marks on It. One of the marks will be at Ashland, down in the southwestern part of the state. Another will be at Monmouth, up towards the top of the western half of the map, where "The Mother of the Normals" Is located. One other will be at Weston, over toward the eastern boundary, while the fourth will be at Drain, about mld wav between Ashland on the south and Monmouth on the north. With these four points on the map as an Illustration for his argument the Drain maa.wlll contend that If there Is to he a reduction In the number of nor mal schools, which he will not admit is right, just or proper, that the reduction should come from the south or the north and not from the middle. He will argue that eastern Oregon Is a big country and destined to be bigger ana that therefore the Weston school should not be molested. Then he' will show that It would be easier for the knowledge seekers of the Ashland or the Monmouth district to come to Drain than for the Drain district to be forced to go to either of these districts. 1 Drain Is the center of the western half of tne state, has the climate, the quiet surroundings and everything nec ., essarv to make tne location Ideal as an 'educational center, the Douglas county man will contend, and for these reasons and many more should be given the support and assistance of the state purse In building a great state lnstltu Hon there Anyway, and whatever the trend of the argument, there will be one when the legislature meets. The people of tne district are DacK or tneir represent atives in insisting that there be a big errort to keep Drain on the list and these representatives will be there when tne appropriation mil comes up. and oe fore. Drain, will nor- die without i struggle -and that struggle will wnke the legislature out of any monotony wnicn migni Derail it. ProgTsja for Sunday.

If past experience arfd present indl cations count for anything this, the closing workday of Chautauqua will be the most largely attended of the season, With weather conditions as favorable as they are, with the Saturday gen erally observed as a half holiday and the fine program offered, makes every thing favorable to a very large attend' ance. With the exception of one or two Classes mat closed yesterday every student entered as earnestly Into the class work, this morning as though It were the first Instead of the last class meeting of the session, and there was very little if any falling off of mem bership. Dr. B. J. Hoadlev this morn ing closed his eighth year ot Gladstone park as Instructor of literature. That he has held his place so long, with a class of Increasing Interest each year, sneaks louder than words of his acceptability as a teacher. As a fre quenter of Chautauqua Dr. Hoadlev has endeared himself to the other Ohau- tauquans who meet him year after year. He has fine genial manners, a broad outlook on life and his mature, con servative opinions make him a welcome visitor at the various headquarters. Uncle Remus Memorial. The memorial to l;ncle Remus this morning was one of the finest literary efforts of (he entire course of litera- uro. Mis. Ellen Miller closed her work In domestic science this morning with lesson on "Summer Drinks and Fruit Desserts." As usual standing room was at a premium long before the lecture began. Miss Anna .Lewis Clark closed her club institute class yesterday morn ing with a lecture on Parliamentary Law and Club Amenities." Miss Clark's class has been well at tended throughout and the closing days she lectured to overflow meetings. She was requested by many clubwomen stay at Chautauqua and give a lec- ure this morning, but having mane arrangements to leave she was . unable to do so. Yesterday 15 members of the Woman's club of Aurora, not being able to make satisfactory train connections, rove down to Chautauqua to serve as hostesses at the federation tent. The religious classes have been par ticularly strong this year under Rev. Charles A. Phlpps and Dr. B. L. Whit man, and both drew to a , very satis factory conclusion this morning. -At the W. C. T. U. a conference of the members tnat were on the ground was held at headquarters yesterday suornlng Mrs. Henrietta ltrown, state f 'resident, presiding. It was unofficial n Its nature, but moat helpful in Its results, as much of the state work was canvassed, ways and means discussed and plans for campaign work gone over. Dr. Mclntyre Today. Few lectures have ever attracted more attention on the Chautauqua grounds, and certulnly none have this year, man tne eloquent aa areas or Dr. Mclntyre last night. The large audi ence of the afternoon remained gen erally for the evening, and with the large additions mat arrived on the evening cars very few. If any, seats were to be found In the auditorium. The close attention that was paid to the speaker, the manner In which he swayed his audience and carried It with him, and better than all, kept It seated till lie was through, was eloquent trib ute to his power of oratory and per sonal magnetism. "The Battle of Life" was his subject last night and he gave good wholesome lessons for the building of character, and the sure foundation that will In sure success. Today his subject will be entirely different, as he will speak on "The Evolution of Abraham Lln ooln." Dr. Mclntyre was the pastor among the relatives and neighbors of Lincoln and much of his lecture he has gleaned from personal contact with the original sources of information. Athletios and rirsworks. Two most enticing numbers, both for the children and the pnrents who have to go along to take care of them, are offered for this evening's program, j Portland people need no Introduction to Professor Grillev and his work as teacher of athletics. Tonight under the auspices of the Young Men's Chris tian Association Professor Orilley will nut the entire program. From the preparations that are being made this romlsps to he a notapie program, ana i irge numbers of young people, among whom Professor Grillev Is very popu- I lar, expect to be present to do honor ; to the occasion. At 9:30 p. m. the dis- j play of fireworks will take place on the baseball grounds. Secretary Cross always personally takes .charge of this feature and In tne many years mat it has been used as the closing number t has been In very truth a blaze or glory," for they have always measured up to what was promised and no accl-, dent has ever happened to mar the pleasure or enjoyment of the sight, i itteen set pieces, prepared by Pro fessor William Kelllng, will be part of the display. A Day of Devotion. The" fiery "Good Night" which sends every one scrambling up tne nui ior the cars, as tne ominous gong sounds the last call, does not rneaji that the curtain - has entirely fallen upon the Chautauqua session of 1908, for to morrow will be a day of devotion and rest preparatory to the breaking up of camp Monday. It will be a day rich In educational and devotional service, being so far as the routine work is concerned, almost a. repetition of last Sunday, with Sunday school, sacred con- cert, etc. At 2 p. m. Dr. Mclntyre will deliver the afternoon sermon, and at' that service he will be at his best, fori over and above everything else Dr. Mc- I ntyre Is the great preacher. In the I evening Dr. Van Horn of Seattle will preach. SB VW7 n i. raw WMlmml I 1 Jrrk fl Imitations.

Lee Portland's place as an Important the atrical center will receive another ad vance .this fall by the location In this city of a regular company of German actors who will give a weekly perform ance In German of the classic and mod ern dramas and comedies of the Father land. Efcnst Pacully, editor of "Naehrlchten" Is the chief backer and will be man ager of "the stock company. He pro poses to give a performance every Fri day night at the Lyric theatre, every Tuesday night In Seattle and Monday night In Tacoma. The first performance in Portland will be given October 2, and Mr. Pacully leaves next week for New York, Chi-1 cago and St. Louis to select the 12 play ers who will head the stock company. New York, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Cincinnati have long had performances of German plays In the German lan guage, and- they have been uniformly successful, but with the exception of a company that played In San Francisco some 12 years ago, no such organisa tion has ever given plays on the Pacific coast. There are about 2O;000 Germans in Portland, who will welcome the oppor tunity given to see the plays of Haupt j mann, ssuaermann and the others or the German moderns, as well as the clas sics, and the comedies In their native tongue, as well as a good many culti vated Americans who will enjoy the plays and performances for their own sake. MEERSCHAUM, EXCEPT MISSOURI, DOES NOT GROW, BUT IS MINED ff "No, meerschaum does not grow," said a Portland pipe dealer this morning; nor Is It gathered from the sea. Some persons Imagine that It is nothing but a lot of sea foam or something of the sort. Every other smoker I meet has a different Idea about where meer schaum comes from. "Meerschaum Is mined. If you want to get rich, locate a meerschaum mine. In Asia Minor the mining of meer schaum, or hamtach, as It Is called In Its crude form, is an important in dustry. "Meerschaum Is a yellowish white in oolor when It comes from the mines and It is covered with red clay. It is a soft, soapy stone In Its raw state. and has to be dried either bv the sun, in summer, or in ovens In the winter, before It is exported. Most of this meerschaum goes to Vienna where the majority of the finest pipe mak ers in the worm are located. "From Vienna the pipes are shipped to all civilized countries and are then handed out to the meerschaum pip ranciers.

(Special Plipatch to Tbe JoornaL) Pendleton, Or., July 1. Efforts are being made In Pendleton to secure, a fravlty water system for the city, udge James A. Pes is now a mem ber of the Pendleton water commis sion, having been appointed to that post by Mayor Murphy. Ths appoint ment was made to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of W. J. Furnish, and Immediately after the appointment had been made, the matter of a gravity system for the city was discussed. At present the water system is bond ed for 14 6.000, end nons of ths bonds are payable for 10 or 11 years. At the present time there is about $20. 000 In the general sinking fund of the I commission. The system produces sn j annual revenue of about 120.000 and as i the annual expenses sre but 110.000 or 112,000, the water system will be a paying Investment. One of the strongest arguments for a gravity system lies in the fact that the present system Is an sxpenslvs one. Over $5,000 Is paid out annually to ths electric company for pumping water, and to ths men who run the plant. Ths city would obtain a much heavier rev enue from a gravity system for ths reason thst It would then have ample wifr to sui. All the members of the commission favor a gravity system, but to provide for establtahlng the plant Is of a bond issue ror eetacuaning the win require a rote of the peopU the city. Steps will immediately be takn toward ths establishment of sue a a plant. Today end Monday will be Bosltlretr ths last days' for discount on east stds gas sblii. - QAA U II .

This gives a good Idea of the responsibility that devolves upon motormen and conductors of the various lines, and Indicates tho cars that must be exercised In ths selection of men for these positions. Ths closest attention is paid to this branch of ths business of ths Transportation Department, because It is realised that It Is necessary to have men who can be relied upon to meet any and all emergen clea, as well as to go through the day's work with a pleasant and accommodating spirit. Rules liavt been adopted regulating ths sm- ployment of men for these places, which reduce to a minimum ths chance for an Incompetent person to secure a position on ths ears.

The course that applicants go through Is very Interesting, show ing, as It does, the care taken to get good men The Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company employs over 800 car men. Applica tions for positions aa motormen and conductors are received at ths offices of tho Superintendent of Transportation, at . First snd Alder streets and East Water street and Hawthorne avenue. Applicants re received personally by the Superintendents, and applications are accepted from those giving suitable references. The applicant is then . subjected to sn examination by tne company's, physician as to his general physical condition, and particularly as to. his syeslght. After the examination Is concluded, physician's certificate Is returned to ths Superintendent, and, if satisfactory, the applicant is eligible for em- ployment. A complete record of the applicants is kept, and as fast aa they are needed, they are placed under the Instruction of competent men familiar with every detail of ths duties which they will bs re quired to perform. nTRTBVOTXOV Or KOTOBKBsT AVS COsTSVOTOBS An applicant for position, aftar having been examined and found physically suitable. Is placed In charge of a competent motorman or conductor, who gives him thorough instruction; first, regarding ths nature of the vehicle and apparatus thereon which he Is to handle. I-ater, the operation of the car is placed gradually In the hands of the student under the direct supervision of the instructors. This -period of instruction covers from 1 0 days to three weeks, after which the student is examined by the General Inspector, who files a certifi cate of efficiency with ths Superintendent. If this Is satisfactory to , the Superintendent, the applicant then receives further Instructions from the General Inspector and later from the General Office. From this latter point he receives information regarding accidents and kindred subjects, and Is thoroughly examined in order to determine) his general efficiency for the position he Is to fill. If he successfully passes this examination, a certificate Is Issued which hs files with ths General Inspector, and his name Is then entered on ths eligible Hat. The details of Instruction cover for a motorman: First, ths gen eral rules of the company; and second, detailed Information regarding the nature of the apparatus upon tho cars and the methods or hana llng the same with the highest economy of time, power consumed, wear and tear on equipment and other similar points; also, with re gard to the safety, comfort and convenience of passengers.

WHAT THB OOlCPAirT BBQUXBES OT XT KBV. One of the most Important requirements from ths strest railway ' point of view is that all employes shall be courteous to passengers and patient at all times. Ths position of a public service employs is frequently a trying one. Soma people feel that they bars a right to abuse him. At times It becomes necessary to dismiss men. This may be for any one of many reasons. While men may otherwise bs com petent, their manner may be discourteous to passengers, or they may not possess ths requisite patience. Discourtesy, lazlnsss, complaints of passengers, lack of Interest and the many things whioh rsnder men Incompetent In other lines, make them undesirable for employ men t by tne railway company. XEBXT A3TS BJ3UXBXT II STEM. After employment, it is endeavored to hold ths best men In ths company's employ. Wages are adjusted according to ths term of service. A system of Discipline by Record is employed, under which the car men recelye credit marks for meritorious aota, suoh as ex ceptionally good operation, avoiding accidents, deeds of valor, eta. Conversely, demerit marks are placed against their reoords ooverlng Infractions of rules in proportion to ths nature of the offense. This system Is of recent adoption, being placed in effect May 15, 190S, and has been adopted in lieu of the old system of suspension, which caused a loss of time to the employe and suffering to both him .and his family. The effect Is already noticeable, and its continuance will, it Is believed, rapidly lncreass tho efficiency and morale of ths platform men. The company is proud of its employes and of ths ability and " courtesy generally displayed by them. We believe that, as a body, they have no superiors in ths country. NO MORE OtflXTSALE The Florence Placer Mining Company has word from its engineer on the ground, informing the company that "if the directors were here and could see for themselves what we have, no more shares would be sold at any price. The stock is too good to sell." No More Shares Will Be Sold on Install mentsand But a Limited Number for Cash, at 25 Cents per Share Within a few days the stock will be taken from the market entirely. It is the best money-making proposition ever offered here. We have pre dicted that it would pay its stockholders 200 per cent per annum. We believe it will pay much more than that.
