Stands for Ilut Two Scitools Drain
Made Hard Fight for Iut Lire.
Salem, July 1. After a hot fight at
the meeting of the board of normal
school regents yesterday, It was de-J
elded that the board In Ita report to
the legislature next winter would rec
ommend that the normal school at
Drain be abandoned and that appro
priations bo mado only for the
schools at Monmouth, Weston and
Ashland.
This dcclHlon was reached only af
ter the hardest kind of a battle. The sons which were regarded as suffl
the following places: Aleppo, Alex
a n drill, Antung, Corlnto, Fernle,
Rlume, Front era, Guadalajara, Ka
rachl, Madras, Punta Arenas, Ran'
goon, Salonkl, San Luis Potosl, Swa
tow, Tapachula. and Tripoli.
These changes are made because
a redistribution of the various posts
Is necessary to protect properly the
Interests of American manufacturers
abroad. In some Instances the posts
abolished have for the last several
years not only been carried on the
lint at a dead loss of several thousand
dollars. Take the consulate at James
town, on the Inland of St. Hclcnt, for
Instance. This office costs $2475 a
year, while the services the consul is
called upon to perform are practical
ly nil. "Only $16 was received In fees
last year. The United States Is the
only great power now maintaining an
office and its closing will result In no
Injury whatever to American trudu.
In the last 24 years the actual cost
of the consular service amounted to
$2,108,934, or an average cost of $87,-
872 a year.
Need Ccancn to Exist.
Many of the consulates abolished
were established years ago for rea
vote was flvo to four on the proposi
tion. The four men who opposed
me reuuction to three schools were
in favor of a reduction to two. These
. men were Governor Chamberlain, W.
B. Ayer, H. J. Maler and E. C, Spence,
Mr. Ayer Insisting that he will pre
sent a minority report to the legisla
ture. Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion Ackerman led the fight for the
reduction to three schools. He was
supported by E. E. Bray and Stephen
Jewell. Secretary of State Benson
and Col. E. Hofer also voted for the
three-chool proposition, after the mo
tion to maintain four schools, which
they advocated, had been lost.

ed that an exporter to the United
States of dutiable goods must appeal
In person before a consul and make
oath to the correctness of his In
voices, and at the solicitation of such
exporters and of Importers and trade
bodies In the United States ' and
abroad, because of the inconvenience
to shippers In being obliged to ap
pear at distant towns with their in
voices, consulates were established at
many places where there were prac
tically no other reasons for main
taining a consulate. Under the pres

free use of the abandoned
buildings for school purposes, If the
legislature adopts the recommenda
tions of the board.
Secretary of Stute Benson spoke
for Drain and argued that It should bo
permitted to continue because it was
an old school and was advantageous
ly located. Governor Chamberlain
reiterated his position for two
schools.

Consulates were also established at
towns which at the time had some
Importance from a consular stand
point, as at Gaspe, Quebec, once a
thriving center of - fishing Interests
but now an unimportant and remote
village. Other consulates were estab
lished without reasons apparent to
the department as in the case of Jap

the recommendation of the depart

MANY CHANGES IN
THE CONSULAR SERVICE
TO PREVENT FROST.

tho thermometer reaches a certain

the operator by setting an electric

so as to awaken the suhbandman that
he may go to his orchard and light
huge lamps of crude oil which create
a smudge and prevent frost.
Twenty-eight consular offices were
closed, 17 new offices were establish
ed, seven offices were moved and
about a dozen Increases of a com
plete reorganization of the United
States consulur service, which be
came effective July 1 under the pro
visions of an act passed at tho last
session of congress. Other posts wjll
be awarded to consuls whose office
were closed, so that none will suffer
from the readjuwtment.
Out of the 28 offices closed nine
are located In Germany, nine In Can
adu and the 10 others are scattered
over the rest of tho world.
The German consulates abandoned
are at Annaberg, Mamberb, Crefeld,

the Canadian posts closed are Belle

Go to church and hear the pastor, In

the dread disaster that o'crwhelmed
tho man who lied It was Colonel
Ananias, who In days long dead and
gone, shocked his neighbors (who were
pious) when he put the truth In pawn.
Ah, he took the truth and hauled It
through the cinders and the slack, ami
he slugged it, and he mauled It, and he
split it up the back; so some bears
came up and ate him, at the prophet's
stern command, and the generations
hate him as they march adown the
land, ne was cast Into a furnace that
was full of coal and wood, and he mut
tered, "This will learn us" (for his
grammar wasn't good.) In the lied

chariots and men, till a whale came up
and swallowed him, and he felt seedy

The Glory of New York.
What other city Is there of like size
which matches New York In position?
It Is a seaside city; tho salt water
laves Its feet As the traveler ap
proaches it he thinks of Venice rising
from the sea or Is perhaps reminded of
ancient Tyre, which "stood out In the
sea as a hand from a wrist" and of
which the bouses were impressively
tall. "Impresslvo" Is not too Indulgent
word for tho skyscrapers of New
York clean faced, simple, original and
audacious, they are characteristic of
the land and of tho people. They are
not ugly concessions to utility, but a
rotjier grand adaptation of architec
ture To cfreumstances. The ancients,
harassed with dread of piracy, would
not bave dared to build a 'city Tike Few ,
