For a moment the proceedings In the
hearing of Mrs. Alevia Alexander, de
posed principal tof Benson Polytechnic
school for girls, seemed about to grow
into a free-for-all fight last night,
when Superintendent of Schools Alder
man questioned the truth of a state
ment made by Mrs. Alexander, who
was testifying.
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.

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

as by the vast amount of work per-

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

in the northwest this year. Three more
stations have been authorized to be

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. It de
