Consolidation ot Schools.
Superintendent of
Public In
struction Ackerman says he would
prefer but one State Normal School
and that the state pay students’
transportation to and from this
school, to the four Normal Schools
which the state maintains.
He is
right; one first-class school, one of
as high grade as any in the country,
would he preferable to four inferior
schools, and it would bo cheaper to
pay the students’ fares, as the
Superintendent suggests, tlun to
maintain .¿C^/.hree extra schools.
But there is n6‘ prospect that such
a change will be 'made.
It has
been easy for the state to acquire
Normal Schools under the logroll
ing process of legislation, hut to
get rid o f any ot them will be diffi
cult, if not impossible.
Whether the proposed consolid
ation of country schools, or of such
country schools as arc within a few
miles of a town school with the lat
ter, is a good policy, and how far
it can be successfully carried out,
are questions upon which those in
terested will not agree.
But it
would seem safe to rely to a great
extent on the judgement of Super
intendeut Ackerman and other ex
perienced teachers.—Telegram.

To Study Alaska Salmon.
Washington, March 24.— By de
cision of the President, a commis
sion of fishery experts, including
President Jordan, of Leland Stan
ford University; Dr. Evermann, of
the Fish Commission, and several
other scientists, will spend the Sum
mer studying Alaska salmon, with a
view to devising a practical means
of perpetuating the salmon supply,
and o f promulgating adequate reg
ulations governing fishing and the
establishment of hatcheries. Espec
ial attention will be paid to the
question of propagatian, as many of
the hatcheries heretofore established
havo been successful, and efforts
will also bo made to find out why
private attempts at propagation
have failed.
The operations of the
present fishery laws will be gone in
to will, a view to ircumieenCIing
modifications.

The Irish Land-Reform Bill.
The bill to settle the centuries-old
conflict between Irish landlords and
tenants, that passed its first reading
in the House of Commons yesterday,
is one of the most important and
notable pieces of progressive legis
lation ever devised. It is the result
of long, diligent, earnest, enlight
ened, conscientious study o f the
situation by British statesmen, and
while not perfect, is in its main de
tails as nearly so as possible. Un
der its provisions Irish tenant, in
stead of paying rent, will make an
nual payments on the lands they
occupy, so that the next generation
of Irish tillers of the soil will he
their own landlords—will own their
homes. To make up the difference
between the aggregate {price asked
by non-resident landlords and that
offered or considered right by Irish
tenant, the British government will
supply a cash fund of $(>0,000,000.
This big expenditure js justified by
the British Secretary for Ireland in
the statement that under present
conditions “ the landlords of Ireland
were being ruined financially, the
tenants were being ruined morally,
and the taxpayers of England were
paying $700,000 per annum to the
land commission and $7,000,000 to
the Irish police, which largely waB
needed to deni with the illegalities
arising from the land question.”
Redmond, the Irish leader, while
not positively committing himself
yet, made no opposition to the bill;
neither did Campbell-Bannerman,
the Libera! leader. So the outlook
ib favorable for a practical solution
of this Irish land question, which
for many generations has been a
prolific source of ill-will, hatred,
strife, and deadly conflicts. It is
gratifying to the whole civilized
world to see the British Govern
ment thus pursuiug, in Ireland as
in South Africa, a broad, liberal
policy, and also to see Ireland's al
ready
improved prospects thus
brightening.— Evening Telegram.

Cnls In Spain.
MadriJ, March 2t>,— Minister of
Finance Villavordo has resigned,
thus precipitating the longcxpcxted
Cabinet crisis.
He gives as his
reasons for resigning that he could
not agree with the large expendi
tures lemnndcd by the other port
folios.
Villnverde lias taken the
position that, while Spain is im
poverished, she should not waste
the pubile funds.
In Ibis he is
strongly supported by the popu
lace, although the Court js against
him.
Shooting; Affair at Cold Beach.
On Friday night March 20, a
party of five or six young men were
whiling away the hours iu a vacant
house in Gold Beach.
While en
gaged in a game of poker, Hederick
Wilson, nn<l Aaron Foster— better
known as “Joe Joe” —got into a dis
pute over the game and a fight en
sued in which Foster was mortally
wounded. As near as we have been
able to learn, the facts are about
as follows; The two men jumped
up from the table and clinched each
other. The others present left the
room and as they did so one of them
called to Foster to “ look out" for
Wilson was armed. Foster was un
armed.
There was no witnesses to
what followed. The fight occurred
shortly after midnight, and about
two o ’clock the Sheriff, who lives
some distance away, was awakened
by Wilson who said that he had
shot “ Joe Joe” and wanted to give
himself up.
After taking Wilson
into custody, the Sheriff went to
the scene of the shooting and found
Foster unconscious.
Everything
possible was done for the wounded
man nnd a doctor telephoned for.
Foster soon regained consciousness
and was able to give an account of
the affair, which statement will be
published in due time.
Upon ex
amination by the doctor it was
found that Foster had been shot
twice with a 38 caliber revolver.
The first shot passed through one
leg under the knee joint and be
tween the bone and cords, the other
bullet entered the left side, barely
missing the last rib, ranged down
ward and came out on the same
side botween the spinal column and
the hip joint.
At last accounts the
wounded man was very weak, and
suffering greatly with but slight
chances of recovery.
At the time
of the shooting Wilson was slight
ly under the influence of liquor.
Wilson had a hearing Satnrday and
was boond over to appear before
the grand jurv next August.— Port
