Mrs. Alexander said that Mr. Alder man had called a certain named man a "crazy old fool." Mr. Alderman re- i torted: "I never heard such a pack of lies as I've heard here tonight." Mrs. Alexander's husband sprang to his feet. "Mr. Alderman," he shouted, "stand up like a man." Mr. Alderman remained seated. "Cowardly' and "Dastardly" Attack. Attorney Clark, appearing for Mrs. Alexander, said: "In all my court experience I never heard a more cowardly at,tack." Attorney Korrell, his colleague, added: "Nor a more dastardly one." - At the conclusion of the hearing Superintendent Alderman offered a public apology to Mrs, Alexander and the members of t the school board. Attorney Clarlt declined , to accept the apology in -behalf of his client, saying that Alderman, In "not offer ing amends sooner, has sinned away Mb day of grace." He termed Alder man's apology as "merely an exp& dient." Mrs. Alexander occupied the witness ' stand for more than two hours. She related the detail.? of the circum stances leading up to her dismissal as principal. She laid particular stress upon the expressions of loyalty and appreciation of her work, which she said she had always received from Superintendent Alderman. First IT otic of Displacement.

(WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The total estimated resources of the reclamation fund for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1918, are 13,283,000. The estimated expenditures for the same year, all for existing projects, are 18.283.000. There's the rub. so far as securing money for construction of new projects from the reclamation fund la con cerned. These estimates were made up a few months ago in detail from the reports submitted by project-managers, before Secretary Lane had any thought of submitting to congress any esti mates for new projects. The department la committed to these estimates as about the best that can be devised for carrying the present projects toward completion. It may also be said to be committed to the principle that existing projects have the beat claim to any money that comes from the reclamation fund, and that so long as this fund Is not large enough to drive ahead at full speed on the projects alOeady under way, should not be drawn upon to supply money for new projects. Only Two Ways to Ctet Money. This attitude, it is declared, must not be construed as unfriendliness to new projects. Secretary Lane feels that lie has answered criticisms of that sort by preparing estimates for con gress for the Malheur project in Ore gon and King's Hill In Idaho, as well as by the vast amount of work per- IIopo for Station Is Slight. . Washington, Jan. 13. Representa tive Hawley recently wrote to Di rector Tan H. Manning of the mining bureau, urging consideration for Grants Pass. Or., as one of the three new min. lng experiment station for which con. gress is expected to provide money this year. Three stations were provided laat year, and sites were designated by Sec retary Lane last November after Di rector Manning had visited the places asking for them. Grants Pass and Baker were the Oregon candidates. Seattle was selected for one of the stations, and Mr. Manning now says that he expects this station to co operate on a substantial scale with the Oregon state bureau at the agricultural college. His letter holds forth no encourage ment for location of another station in the northwest this year. Three more stations have been authorized to be established next year.

Members of the Lane county delegation In the house are indignant over the action of the senate Friday in electing Walter Grif fin of Eugene as a clerk for Senator Isaao Bingham, who has been out of the state for the last two years and will not be present during the session. Representative Walter B. Jones of Lane declared that Griffin s pres ence In the legislature is desired by the county commissioners of Lane, who with the Eugene Chamber of Com merce petitioned for his appointment. as a lobbyist to get their salaries raised. Jones pointed out that Griffin is a hardware dealers who sells many sup plies to the county and that the re lationshlp between the commissioners and Griffin is very close. Season Is Shown. He recalled that two years ago Sen ator Bingham was the author of a bill which was passed reducing the salaries of the commissioners from $5 to $3 a day, and Jones declared a bill is to be Introduced at this session raising the salaries. He also declared that the move was desired on Griffin's part because he is preparing to be a candidate for state senator at the next election and be lieves he will gain political prestige by being here during this session. niendations in the matter, "Subsequent inquiries about the signed paper were made and I found that only one member of the board had signed it, and that man was the very person 1 had been told had noth ing to do with it.

Shoe maker ws checking over the results of the last few montha' arrests for violations of the game laws Friday and discovered that In a large num ber of cases the Justices of the peace had remitted fine and Jail sentences after defendants had been found guilty. The game warden was rather peevish over this circumstance, aeciar lng that If the courts were to go on worklnr contrary to the spirit of fish and game protection, there might as well be no nrotectlon laws. "If violators are to be given the impression that the game laws are s farce and that the probabilities are for virtual acquittal after every arrest. it will indeed be difficult for ua to carry on our work of keeping our game from becoming extinct. Only One Mne Collected. "For example, out of seven convic tions in Raker county for violations of the fish and game lawa, only one fine was actually collected. The six other offenders were fined, with the fine remitted. Most of the Justices of the peace of the state are in the habit of remitting penalties. The ef feet is most discouraging, especially after thlB department has gone to the expense and trouble of working up case against old offenders. "Recently a Multnomah county dls trict Judge, acting wholly within the letter of the law. went to the other exrerae in refusing to remit a fine upon an Italian bootblack, who was charged with offering for sale the skin of a China pheasant.
