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

' 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

thut of the Crowner girl on January
2. One case was reported yesterday
and the remainder today. Dr. D. J.
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

The hotel Is constructed .of elastic

schools had but little weight.
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.

claim, although In a sense Mr. Gale

committee of three chosen at a meet
