School Hook Publishing Companies
Cluii'gc Oregon People Moire for
Hume Books Than Is Charged in
Other Suites Board Enters a
Strong Protest mid Will Ak for a
Square Deal..
i The state board of educutlon and
the attorney general do not agree
upon tho Interpretation of that por
tion of the state text book law which
requires the publishers to sell their
books at as low a price In thU state
as they do In any other state. The
board recently asked the attorney
general's advice and then proceeded
to act contrary to It.
It has been discovered that 3ome
of the publishers are selling books at
retail In Louisiana and Tennessee
cheaper than- they are sold In Ore
gon. Against this the board protest
ed.
j The companies take the position
that they are entitled to get as much
for their books, net, In Oregon as
they do In any other state and they
represent that differences In freight,
commissions, etc., accounts for the
higher price In Oregon.
The board holds that when the
contract was made with the pub
lishers stipulating that they should
not sell books for a greater price In
Oregon than is charged, in other
states, reference was had to the
price the parent or pupil must pay
and not to the net price received by
the company.
In accordance with this view the
board yesterday adopted a resolution
declaring that retail prices here must
not be higher than In other states.
The controversy arose over four
books. The plane and solid geometry
is sold for 90 cents In Tennessee, while
in Oregon the price $1.25. The phy
sical geography sells for 88 cents in
Louisiana, while It costs the Oregon
pupil $1. The new text hook on ele
mentary agriculture sells for 60 cents
In Louisiana and 75 cents in Oregon.
The general history cobU the Louis
iana boy and girl $1.25 and the Ore
gon pupil $1.50.
! Since the text book law and the
contracts with publishers provide
that these differences shall not ex
ist, the board proposes to see thpt
Oregon shall buy books at lowest
prices.
For the past month or two the

Gnus Invests His Money.
Joe Gans" new hostelry, the Gold
field hotel, built by the champion
lightweight pugilist at a cost of $35,
000, was opened last Saturday at
Baltimore.
In addition to the hotel, which
Gans believes will become a highly
profitable Institution, the famous
Baltimore negro has a fortune esti
mated at $50,000. Of late he has
become an enthusiastic autoniobillst,
and It Is possible that he nviy decide
to enter the ranks of professional rac
ing car drivers.
Gans if) now 33 years of age and
has been a professional fighter for
16 years, lie retires the undisputed
lightweight champion with none in
sight to dispute his claim to the title.
LISTEN TO THIS.
Thousand Will Benefit Statement
Marin Is True.
It may be that some persons Will
be inclined to doubt the statement
made by an eminent authority, at a
recent meeting, thut a mixture of
dandelion, kurgon and sarsaparilla,
ho would give prompt relief to any
sufferer of rheumatism or the usual
forms of backache, caused by inac
tive, clogged kidneys, yet many cases
of long standing that had been en
tirely relieved were cited to prove
the truth of his assertion. The same
authority further stated that many
cases which failed to yield to the
healing waters of the famous health
resorts, or the usual remedies as pre
scribed, salicylalte of soda, potuh,
colehlcum, etc. were readily reliev
ed by the use of this simple mixture
Fluid extract dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound kargon, one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces, t Take a teaspoonful dose af
ter meals and at bedtime.
A well known druggist, when ap
proached on the subject, stated that
while this prescription, as written, Is
new, the ingredients are continually
prescribed by the best physicians, and
any good prescription pharmacy has
them; they are Inexpensive and harm
less to use, and are mixed by shak
ing well In a bottle.
If the claims, made for this mix
ture are only partly correct, it would
seem that no sufferer here could af
ford to leave the prescription untried.
SENDS AGENT TO JAPAN.
to
Canudiuu Envoy Will Attempt
Settle Immigration Difficulty.
Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 24. Among
the passengers sailing on the steam
ship Empress of India for the orient
today Is the Hon. Dodolphe Lemleux
who has been appointed Canada's
envoy to Japan to take up the Immi
gration problem with the Japanese
government. By sending Mr. Lem
leux to Japun and at the same time
paying damages to the Japanese resi
dents who suffered In the recent riots
in this city, it Is believed that the
differences between the two coun
tries will be amicably settled. ,
In presenting the case of Canada
to the Japanese government Mr. Lem
leux will make a strong point of the
fact that In urging upon parliament
the act of last session, giving the
force of Canadian law to the Anglo
Japanese treaty of 1894, the prime
minister met objections to the clause
of the treaty which provides for full
right of entry and residence in Cana
da to Japanese, by assuring the
house that the government of Japan
would still be bound to the agreement
to restrict immigration to a certain
number of Japanese subjects yearly.
