Ipmortaat Change from Present Statute
: Contemplated in Bill now being -;
Prepared. ' . .
One of the important changes in the
school laws of Oregon which is likely to
be attempted at the next session of the
legislature, says the Telegram, is to au
thorize the consolidation of school dis
tricts for the purpose of concentrating
the school money with a view of conduct
ing a better elass of schools and provide
a way of conveying to and from snch
schools the children, who, by the change,
should be situated at a distance from it
of two miles or over.' -
A bill for this purpose is already in
' course of preparation providing the man
ner in which the districts desiring con
solidation must proceed to accomplish
consolidation, which shall be by having Northwest.
a meeting of the doctors ef each district
called especially for that purpose, at
which a vote by ballot shall be taken
and dne return thereof shall be made to
the district boundary board of the coun
ty, and consolidation shall be declared
only when a majority of . the votes are
cast in favor of it in each district to b9
included. The new district thus formed
shall take snch rank as its population
entitles it to take, and the directors of
the most populous district, in the num
ber consolidating shall remain as direct
ors of the new district, subject to such
changes as subsequent ejections may
make.
All the property of the several districts
joining the consolidation snail become
the property of the new district, and be
subject to the control of its board of di
rectors.
The school boards of these consolidated
districts are required to furnish transpor

in the Corvallis-Washington game was of
very high order, and when the "farm

after a series of pretty end runs and tan

"The choice of a center" is hard-to de
termine, as Burnaugh, of Corvallis, and
McKinney, of Oregon, are almost evenly
matched. Burnaugh, while 10 pounds
lighter than McKinney is given the

is one of the most promising men in the
Burnaugh -is more active
than McKinney, has played the game

this comment concerning them :

In view of the point being made

Concert and Dance.
Selected for All-Star Team.
Yesterday's Oregonian names the
players which in the estimation of its
athletic editor, should compose the all
star football team from the colleges ot
Oregon for the season of 1902. Pilking
ton, Root and Burnaugh are selected for
fullback, half and center, respectively.
Of Pilkington, the Oregonian's authority
says:
"Bert Pilkington, ot the Oregon Agri
cultural College, is far and away the
best candidate for the positioa of full
back. He is a big fellow, strong, and
active as a cat, and always combines
splendid head work with his playing.
His work in the Corvallis-Eugene game
of this year was au exhibition in itself,
and every contest of the season showed
practically the same .result. Pilkington
is in a class by himself, so far as Oregon
fullbacks are concerned, his only super
ior in the Northwest existing in the per
son of "Hez" Brown, the stalwart Whit
man player."
