Lust evening President French of the Weston Normal school, returned from Salem, where he has been for several days past, and stopped In the city over night. He was .seen at the rooms of the Commercial Association In the evening, and asked as to the probable outcome of- the normal school legislation. "To attempt to any Just what la going to be done," said he, "would be prophecy. However, It Is now prac tically certuln that no action will be taken against any of the schools ex cept the one at Drain, and It Is also almost certain that the one there will be abolished. I understand that a bill will be presented In the house tomorrow providing for the discontin uance of the Drain school." According to President French, a very Interesting struggle was waged for several days in the legislature be tween the friends and forces of the various normal schools. The presi dents of all four schools were there, and their work was mainly with the Joint committee of ways und means, composed of 10 members. One of the st longest arguments used oil the side of the schools was the comparison of the expenses and work of the normal schools of Washington and California to thoje of Oregon. The facts that were presented In this connection I wor! very telling, for they showed Oregon far in the rear us far us legis lative aid Is concerned.

Large prizes will be award ed to the successful contestants. ' An epidemic of scarlet fever has I broken out In Pendleton and up to this afternoon five cases have so far j been reported. While the most of, these cases are of a mild form, con- siderable uneasiness has been arous- j ed and every precaution is being ! taken to prevent a spread of the mul- I ady. All the cases are under strict ! quarantine. The following are the cases so far Kiuirtni V. Stroble's boy. 738 Johnson street. Mild case. 8. C. Wilson's girl. West Alta street.

McFaul Is In attendance upon all the cases except that of Mabel Bently. On being keen this ufternon he said: "The disease seems to be breaking out quite generally all over town. While the cases are all well defined scarlet fever cases, only one that I am attending Is very seriously 111. This one la the Wilson girl. The rest of them are of a rather mild form." Drs. Smith and Dick have been In attendance upon Mabel Bently. whose case also seems to be rather serious.

The Eustern Oregon members of the legislature stand atiungly against any legislation antagonistic to the j Weston school, and those from South ern Oregon are equally zealous for I the one at Ashland. This, together with the fact thai both Institutions are doing good work, will probably 'insure their, future safety. How 'ever, the school at Drain Is neither a , Southern Oregon nor a Valley school, j and consequently has -but little back ing. Also the fact that last year It hud but two graduates but an expense of 326,000, worked greatly sganst It. President French Is of the opinion thut Wrston will b given all that has been asked In the wuy of an ap propriation, which la 325.000 for maintenance, and an equal amount for the erection of a new dormitory.
