Extension work Well Beceived.
All of this character of extension
work of the school of commerce has
been remarkably well received by the
business interests of the state. Younjr
men who are in active employment
and are not able to attend the univer

The department of commerce has
throughout the important business
cities of the United States special
representatives, such as they have now
been able to establish in the city of
Portland. These are in Intimate touch
with one another and are of especial
aid and assistance in gathering data
concerning trade and commercial in

States, especially those interests In
which Oregon has a deep and active
interest.

The department of commerce of the

Here are some of the facts relating to
the school and Its work that have been
presented by persons familiar with its
work :
The school of commerce was estab
lished by the board or higher curricula,
at the time Dr. J. U. Wilson, the well
known educate- of the Portland acad
emy, was chairman of the board.
At the time the school of ngineer
jng was taken from the state univer
sity and transferred to the Oregon Ag
ricultural college by the board of
higher curricula, it believed that a
higher school of commerce. was re
quired for the general commercial and
industrial development of the state,
hence created for the university the
i,chool of commerce, which was to take
up in its curriculum the larger phases
of commercial education such as buel
, nea administration, systems of cost
accounting, all types of trusines-s, in
surance, banking, salesmanship r.nd
foreign trade.

from these officers.

Coyote Bounty Bill
Is Passed by House
During Debate. Prosperity of "Good
Citizens" to Get Best of Pnbllo Till,
Lin Topio; Flnley Bapped.
Salem, Or., Jan. 31. Ravages
of the cyot and the human propen
sity to get as much from the
public till as possible became twin
topics for debate while the house was
considering II. B. 117, Clark's measure
to increase the bounty on coyote
skins. The bill was passed.
Tichenor, tired of the desultory dis
cussion, moved the previous question
as Crandall was trying to get the
floor. When the house continued the
debate, Crandall took occasion to rap
the effort to "throttle the right of
reasonable speech and discussion."
Then he talked against the bill's pro
vision allowing more for the -female
hides than for those of the males.
"It is a delicate matter to question
the veracity of our good citizens and
taxpayers when they present hides for
the bourKy," said Crandall. "But
these good citizens do not overlook op
portunities to get all they can from
the public funds; and. since I under
stand from good authority that the
male hides can be doctored o that an
expert cannot tell the difference, the
great majority of bounties paid will
be on female 'hides."
Bclland, in casting his vote said:
"If there is any difficulty In de
termining the sex of any hide, all you
have to do is call in Mr. Kinley, of
the game and fish commission. He
has nothing to do bitf draw his sal
ary and la supposed to know all these
things."

regular channels of business.
The resolution was transmitted to
the Linn county delegation in the

The bill, whlcn was passed by the
house, reached the senate Tuesday

o'clock Thursday afternoon.

that time they could accept new ship
ments. Bo Hew Orders.
But the senate decided to cut the
traffic off point blank v.tien the act
goes into effect so far as the placing
of new orders was concerned. The
common carriers still are given the
five days to clean, up deliveries.
The only other amendment made by
the senate was the elimination of the
provision requiring druggists to pay
a 12 fee when filing the penal bond
required under the act.
The report of the legislative com
mittee appointed in 1915 to investigate
the three state institutions of higher

tion to express the appreciation of
the senate for the work done by the
committee. Senator Huston asked 1
the adoption of the motion would carry
with it the senate's approval of the re
port. "I don't want to be put In the posi
tion of indorsing all that Is in the re
port," he said. "My children attend
the state university at Eugene and 1
know from their experience that there
was no extortion on the part or t,u
gene business houses." i
After a short discussion, thef point
was made clear that the motion did
not carry with it approval of the con
tents of the report. Senator Huston
then withdrew his objections.

vious action ana., merely asking con
gress to enact a law which requires
revenue collectors to submit lists of
licenses to the governors In dry ter

that the law which is to pass to en
force prohibition will permit the ship
ment of liquors Into the state for pri
vate uses.

A class of public accountants in
Portland has also been given regular
weekly class work. Instruction has
also been given to young men who are
engaged In business life in Portland, on
business administration and commer

been formed by young men who r.re In
export and import houses in Portland,
and this work also1 has been found cf
particular value. This class was es
tablished at the special request of the
Chamber of Commerce of Portland.
Many Other Bulletins Issued.
Many other bulletins of a similar
nature covering such features as the
market for Oregon fruits throughout
the world; the world's market for
potatoes; a world survey of the flax
industry, and many other bulletins of
a purely industrial nature have also
been published.
