Hundreds of recoinmcndutlons In Pendleton. McComas If You Are Not Satisfied. COMPULSORY Li J. II. ACKERMAN PRAISES SCHOOL STATUTE. Suys the Ijiw Compelling Attendance nt School Is Doing a World of Good In Starting Children Into Useful Ways of Living Good Conditions In Oregon Schools Generally. Stale Superintendent of Public In struction "J. H. Ackerman believes the law compelling school children to at tend school Is not ns effective as It should he and ns a consequence there are thousands of children In the rural districts who are leading Idle lives. In discussing the condition Mr. Ack erman, among other things, says: "What makes tht. law valueless s the fact that It does not make any one county or state officer responsi ble for Its enforcement. As a conse quence no one goes to the trouble of seeing whether children In rural com munities are In sihool or whether they are contracting vicious habits while loafing with Idle associates. "I am ut work on an amendment to the law which I shall try to have pass ed by the next legislature, fixing the responsibility for the enforcement of compulsory education. The number of children who do not attend school Is very large through the rural com munities, and the Influence of Idlers nullifies the work of the Btudlous. "Idle hands quickly become wicked hands. I would not mind the absence of rural children from. school so much if they were working and wre phys ically able to do the work, but In n majority of cases they are doing noth ing, and after a few years of freedom fiom toil It will be Impossible to ed ucate them. "The rural school problem in Ore Ron is especially hard on account of the unsettled character of a large percentage of the population. "We hope to establish additional hlg'i schools soon. The five counties possessing these hlpher Institutions have demonstrated the need of them all over Oregon. "By holding state Institutes In all parts of the state we are trying to uive the teachers a course of Instruc tion especially adapted for their work in counlty communities, and especial ly in the revised courses of instruc tions that have been adopted recent ly. "The financial condition of the schools Is very satisfactory. Benefic ial results have followed the passage of the law making It mandatory for he countv co'i'-ts to levy lareer taxes C li e support the schools. We will not need any additional legisla tion concerning finances for several years. "The rural school population Is In creasing rapidly throughout the state, Oregon is receiving Immigrants from all parts of the country, and her pop ulation Is growing In a rapid and substantial manner." State Superintendent Ackerman will be a candidate for renomlnatlon on the Republican ticket, and so far there Is no one spoken of as likely to enter the field against him. He seems to be satisfactory to the educational interests and to the people generally. DOUBT CANNOT EXIST. Investigation Will Strengthen the I'roof We Give In Pendleton.

"I do not think the people of Yaki ma should become alurmed at the In formation given In the papers about the possible action of the secretary of the Interior rclatlvo to the Tietan Ir rigation project," said Congressman Jones to t e Yakima Republic. "There will be no cessation In the work of the reclamation service an I when everything Is "ady to go ahead with the work the department will be on hand with the funds," he contin ued. "The people of Yakima must continue their work and have every thing In shape and by the time the work that Is now under way here Is completed the secretary will be ready to muke final approval of the scheme. As I understand It he has approved the Tietan project, in so far as he can act at present. "The situation may be such that he cannot set aside funds for this project now. But there will be plenty of money In the treasury by the time things are in shape to go ahead In Yakima. The r"nrile of Yakima must not lie down at this stage of the game. They must tnke on new energy and put their shoulders to the wheel and push the thing along. There Is no reason, as has been suggested by the correspondence from Washington, why the fund that hag been set aside fur that undertaking cannot bo di verted to the Tletan. Ity next June the reclamation fund will be material ly Increased by several millions. This will give plenty of money for the Washington projects. Both the Tietan and Okanogan projects will be carried out and as the fund Increases the Kittitas, Ledbetter and Sunnysldo will be brought Into line of Improve ments." Another phase of the question has been discussed In the last few days by the engineers thnt has not heretofore heen given much publicity. This Is' the amount of additional land that' will be covered over the estimate made by the engineers. The engl-1 neers were conservative and fixed the estimate nt the low figure of 24,000 acres. There are under the proposed ca nal about 50,000 aces, but much of the land was classed as poor land by the engineers. On a second Investlga-I Hon nnd a comparison with other' lands that are now under a high' state of cultivation In Yakima the engineers have found that something like 3000 more acres with the possl-! blllty of still Increasing the amount, j can be added to the former estimate. A change In the canal has been , made so us to take In more land than was at first contemplated. The water' In the canal crossing the divide from! the Cowlche valley was to have been dropped 150 feet. It Is now planned by the engineers to make ie drop only 100 feet. This would raise the canal In the Wide Hollow and Ahtanum valleys 50 feet higher than originally surveyed. By taking In more land the cost per acre of building the canal would thus be greatly reduced. The engineers will make a supplemental report to the secretary of the Interior on this point.
