Financial Condition Brighter
The state normal school board
ct regents, meeting in the execu
tive department here Friday,
voted to proceed with construc
tion of the Eastern Oregon nor-
mal school at LaGrande. The sum
of $175,000 has been appropriated
for the building and equipment of
. the school.
The decision to proceed with
the construction of the normal
school plant followed considera
tion of a statement prepared by
the state board of control indica
ting that the financial condition of
.the state is not as unsatisfactory
as was contemplated at the time
the legislature convened in Jan
uary. 1927.
The statement indicated that
the state revenues from sources
other than the . tax levy aggre
gated between $150,000 and
$200,000 in excess of the esti
mates, while the unexpected bal
ances from authorized appropri
ations of the 1927 legislature
would exceed $430,000.
The law creating the Eastern
Oregon state normal school was
approved by the voters In the
year 1326. with the result that the
legislature in 1927 authorized an
appropriation of $175000 to de
fray the cost of the plant and
. equipment. The site for the nor
mal school, together with other
concessions, was contributed by
the city of LaGrande.
Report's submitted at yester

proximately 950 students are now

f4 00 students are registered at the
Southern Oregon normal school at

Monmouth and Ashland would be
relieved materially.
The Eastern Oregon narmol
school will be two stories high,
with basement, and of reinforced
concrete construction. It will be

(AP) Complete success in his ef

of Chile and Peru to resume thenis way around the country
diplomatic relations between them
which they interrupted seventeen
years ago, was reported to Presi
dent Coolidge today by Secretary
of State Kellogg
Further communications from
the state department today, an
nouncing Germany's uncondition
al acceptance of Secretary Kel-
logg's draft for a multilateral
treaty renouncing war and presag
ing a favorabfe reply from France
by the end of the week, strength
ened greatly Mr. Colidge's confi
dence in the early conclusion of
such an anti-war covenant.
In addition to tne progress al
ready made in these fields of for
eign affairs. President Coolidge
is hopeful that in view of late de
velopments in China a government
may soon be established there
which will warrant American rec
ognition. President Coolidge is greatly
gratified at the success of Mr.
Kellogg's initiative in both his
South American endeavors and In
bis efforts to consolidate the
peace of the world. Uncondition
al acceptance of the secretary of
state's proposal regarding resump
tion of relations by both Chile and
Peru, Is regarded here as consti
tuting a great step towards final
solution of the unsatisfactory in
ternational situation on the west
coast of South America. With
varying degrees of intensity, rela
tions between Chile and Peru have
been strained since the war be
tween them in 1879. j
The new development in Chilo
Peruvian relations, it Is empha
sised, does not touch the funda
mental difference between the two
countries, namely, final deterniiusi-
tlon of the proprietorship of the
provinces of Tacna and Arica, at
present held by Chile. Neverthe
less, it will help to envelope the
problem with a greater atmos
phere of cordiality, in which Sec
retary Kellogg hopes, it is under
stood, that future endeavors to
solve the question may receive
more sympathetic reception than
greeted previous efforts
After abortive negotiations for
the settlement of the Tacna-Arica
wrangle late in 1926, in which he
took the initiative, Secretary Kel
logg. It Is said, watched for every
opportunity to place Chile and
Peru on speaking terms again.

Is Salem due for another epi
demic of burglaries, or -was it
just a "tourist" burglar "earning"
The latter theory appears to be
the best one in the case of the two
burglaries Thursday night. Both
of them were committed along the
Pacific highway in the north part
of town.
C. L. Wright reported to the po
lice late Friday afternoon that his
home at the Cherry City camp
ground, of which he is proprietor,
had been entered and a 17 jewel
watch, a large bunch of keys and
$8 or a little more in silver taken.
The other burglary was at the
Parrlsh Grocery, 805 North Capi
t ol street, where some money was
obtained. The burglar effected
entrance In both cases by breaking
the glass In a window.
At the grocery store, the pro
prietor, a woman, and her daugh
ter were at home. They heard
the burglar in the store but were
afraid to go to the phone until
he had gone. The police were no
tified at- 2 o'clock Friday morn
ing. Another possibility as to the
source of these two burglaries,
was seen in the fact that two pa
tients at the state institution for
the feeble minded, one 17 and
the other 19 years of age. had
escaped that evening, taking with
them a state owned automobile.
Their thieving proclivities mav
have extended to burglary.
One other theft reported Fri
day was that of a wire wheel and
tire from the automobile of
Charles Oage, 676 North 17th
