Now "Bill" Sny der and tha keepers are in a quandary. receive $5000 tb first year and $21..A0i in the tenth year and thereafter. For the training of teacher in these sub jects it would receive $5000 the first year and $10,000 in the tenth year and thereafter. The total for the first year would, therefore, be $15,000 for the first year, gradually Increasing to $52,- 800 in the tenth year and tnereaiter, or a total for the first 10 years ol $341,230. The total for the Vnlted Stales would be"$l.56,000 the first year. In creasing to $.162.:00 at the end of 1 years and approximately that su:n thereafter. Oregon Share 3Large to Start. Because of the minimum guarantees of $5900 to $10,000 to the smaller states, the appropriations for the first year exceed the round figures of $500, 00, this excess decreasing from year to year, as the annual proportion of each state grows up to Its minimum. While Oregon's apportionment tot salaries . of teachers will Increase In few years beyond the $5000 minimum guarantiee, its population In compari son to that of the United States ts r.o small that Its maximum allotment for teachers' training would reach only $7300 in 10 years, making necessary a special allotment of $2700 a year of federal funda from that time on to give Oregon the minimum guarantee of $10,000 a year for this purpose. Postage Increase Mar Walt. Washington. Dec. 16. Postmaster General Burleson, In a letter to Con gressman Moon, chairman of the house postoffice committee, suggests that it may not be advisable to carry out "at this time" the recommendation in his annual report for increase of postage on second class mail matter. Since that report vu written. Mr. Burleson says, representatives of tru agrieu'tural publishers and of other periodicals and magazines have brought to his attention abnormal In creases in cost of whit paper, claim ing that these increases, coming after aevertising contracts were madn, make a serious situation for such pub lishers to meet. While not receding from his position that second class matter should pay more postage, the postmaster-gener says it may be well to consider "wheth er an increase should be made at this time."

It Is reported that the committee is strongly Inolmed againat authorising any new buildings at Indian schools this year, and If this opposition is strictly enforced, as now seems probable, the Cnemawa estimate In the aggregate will be heavily cut.
