SWORN STATEMENT SHOWS BOUM CROSSLY EASTERN In reply to slanderous statements made regarding the normal schools by Jay Bowerman and other anti-normal school men, the East Oregonian has secured an accurate statement bear ing upon the cost per student and the cost per graduate In Oregon. The statement below Is In the form of a sworn affidavit and gives the lie di rect to Bowerman's recent assertion that Oregon has been forced to pay $12,500 each for normal graduates. Normal School Statistics. The average cost of graduating trained teachers from the normal schools of the United States In 1902 03 was $419.28. In Oregon the av erage cost per graduate In 1907-08 was $420. For all purposes the Eastern Ore gon State Normal School has received since 1891, the date of Its first ap propriation, the sum of $174,000.

SAYS TAFT WILL BE PIT INTO HALL OF INFAMY Dccluros Roosevelt by Ills Present Policy Is Forcing Man He Put In Presidential Chair to Appear In oonietcnt Reviews T. R.'s Views on Eight Other President Ridi cules Ills Doctrine of New Nation alism. New York, Oct. 26. Martin W. Littleton, democratic candidate for congress from the Oyster Bay district in an address last night at Carnegie Hall, turned his guns on Colonel Roosevelt, his attack being remark ably chiefly for Its novelty. New Nationalism, Roosevelt's new doctrine was made the object of ridicule along with its champion. The new nationalism, he said, has Its source In the abiding disrespect Mr. Roosevelt has constantly shown toward "our form of republic," which hac caused htm to show dissatisfac tion with the public men of this country as well as Its institutions. He (Roosevelt) has not yet com pleted his symposium of mediocrity," continued Mr. Littleton. "He has not Concluded his catalogue of Incom petents; but there seems to be anoth er president scheduled to fall under his condemnation. There seems to be another who will find his place with Buchanan, the 'shifty and selfish poli tician,' with Tyler, who was a politi cian of monumental littleness, with Van Buren.who 'faithfully served the mammon of. unrighteousness with Jackson who "was ignorant and head strong,' with Monroe' who was a 'courteous gentleman of no especial ability,' with Madison, whose . 'inca pacity brought shame and disgrace to America In the war of 1S12," with Jefferson, 'the most incapable presi dent that ever filled the president's chair,' with Polk, the very smallest of the line of small presidents who came between Jackson and Lincoln." "And this president awaiting, no doubt, his place in this hall of Infamy is one that Mr. Roosevelt himself created. It is a pathetic picture of broken friendship; it Is a sad commen tary upon the stability of political al liances to see a patient Just, earnest, plain and rugged Judge, who occu pies the position of president, almost crowded out of his place and exclud ed from the prerogatives of his office by a man who continues to reign wherever and whomsoever he may. "Is It any wonder then that he preached "New Nationalism?' Need one be surprised at this strange doc trine? Having gotten his views re specting eight of the presidents of the United States and having surmised his attitude toward a ninth, need we be surprised that ho finds no diffi culty In urging a radical change in the structure of the government a change which Is the strangest mixture of socialism and empire; a most unique notion of despotism and dis order?"

COUNTRY BARREN OF GAME AND VERY COLD Government Officials Still Hold Out HIe for Missing Hirrimen, But all Others Give up H5e Searching Purtles still Persist Men Carried Arms and Fishing Tackle Geologi cal Chief Says Men Cannot Live in Wilds. Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 26. Outside of government officials, who profess to believed that Hawley and Post, the crew of the lost America II, are safe, very few believe the aeronauts are alive. It was learned positively today that they carried fire arms and fish- I ing tackle so they could withstand j hardships for days. Professor Rock, I chief of the geological survey, believes they cannot be alive. The country In which they are supposed to have ' alighted, is barren of game and so cld that none except those acclimated ! could live, he said. The searchers have found no clews as yet Cannot Survive. 1 Opinion Is divided as to the possl bllity of rescuing the men even if : they passed safely over Lake Huron i and Georgian Bay in the vast wilder i ness of northern Ontario and Quebec ! or the Ungave districts, still further north. Professor R. W. Beck, dlrec I tor of the geological survey, who i knows the country, like a book, Is of I the opinion that the aeronants will ' surely perish if they sailed Into the I (ar northern sections. There are parts j of it, he said, where Indians and half. j breed hunters have starved to death. I Other officials. Including Sir Wll , frld Laurler, who is taking a keen In- i terest in the search for the lost men, j believe they will come out all right, : eepeclally if they landed south of the I new line of the transcontinental rail- way. j The lack of means of communica j tlon with government aids in the un j settled regions of Quebec Is making It extremely difficult to follow the original plan of plotting out the i courses of the Isle De France, Har jmirg in. Azurea, Helvetia. Germanla ; and Dusseldorf from miscellaneous r ports. As a substitute, it has been decided to work from a map showing the course as remembered by the bal loonists themselves. The reports from points distant from the territory covered by any of the six will be Investigated and fol lowed up If the lead proves promis ing. It Is understood that the balloon. Ists map is now on the way to Ottawa. When it arrives. It Is probable that the bureau of information established here will be transferred to Toronto. Reward Is Offered. New York, Oct. 26 Five thousand dollars reward was today offered for information leading to the where abouts of the balloon American. It 13 expected that other rewards will be added later. R. H. Johnstone who accompanied Hawley on several trips Into Canada, believes the aeronauts are alive. He said Hawley Is a nat ural woodsman. Claim They Saw It Toronto, Oct. 26. A report that the missing balloon was seen last night over the western end of lake Superi or was received here (today. Three men saw it, according to the report. State Normal School, 20 are actually engaged In teaching at the present time. In 190", out of a large sum appro priated by Washington for education al purposes, the three normal schools received a tftal of $453,02. Jn Ore gon, the Ashland and Weston normals received a total of $75,000 the bl-en-nlal period, and Monmouth nothing. Dr. Sheldon's bulletin, Issued from the University of Oregon In 1906, shows that seven states have one nor mal school; 37 have more than one, ranging from two to 19 In number, and two states have none. Does Ore gon want to make a third? Dr. Sheldon's bulletin also shows that nine state superintendents favor single normals, and 41 favor two or more. State of Oregon, County of Uma tila, ss.

Definite news that the balloon America II, has been seen In the St. Johns Lake dis trict reached here today. This Is a reliable report in which the balloon described passed over St. Lellcian on the southern lake shore Wednesday afternoon and disappeared northeast. The news is considered more probably true than other reports as It was fol lowing this course when last seen. If the report Is correct, the America II has won the International race and established a new world's record as St. Fellcian is 150 miles north of Klskislnk where the Dusselodrf land ed.
