NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION.
The question of normal schools
or no normal schools has been
much discussed in Oregon of re
cant years. Those who first and
last ally themselves on the side
of what they are pleased to term
"higher education" at what
ever co3t have always stood for
the normal schools. But there
is another clas3 who are not so
enthusiastic for higher educa
tion because of what they term
their practicability. This class
is composed largely of tax -payers.
Few people desire to shirk
w is clearly a duty in assist
ing to defray the expenses of
eiucating the youth of the land,
but they are satisfied, at least in
t.ncir own minds, that there is a
limit beyond which they are not
called upon to go. They feel
that innumerable state normal
schools mark the limit. They
are not necessarily enemies of
higher education, but believe
Wicn atate endowed universities
and colleges the matter has been
fully attended . They argue that
in subscribing to the demands of
the public schools and state col
leges both the causes of common
school and higher education have
received all that can rationally be
expected.
There are many good citizens
who believe the state would
have done its full duty had it
stopped at the public schools, but
txae are comparatively few. It
appears right and proper for the
state to assist in the maintenance
of a few worthy institutions for
tie inculcation of highar learn
in i. but to have a brood of nor
mal school continually warming
under her wings seems to mark
tin line ac wnieh forbearance
ceases to be counted among the
virtues.
Perhaps one, or possibly two
state normal schools would not
be so bad, but four seems pretty
numerous to Mr. Taxpayer.
Darinj the presont sessions of
the legislature bills have appear
ed in the house asking for state
normal school appropriations in
a manner no wise modest consid"
cring tii3 s:z js of the school.
Wesson has asked for an appro
priation of ii;7J,0JJ and Mon
mouth for "o.OOO. It is author
itatively stated that Drain will ask
ivc -4u, U0J and Asiiiand for tJ,
003, if thay have no; already
done so. This will make the
grand total asked for the succor
of state normal schools foot up
to $215,030 quite a bit of
money.
Governor Chamberlain, in his
message, strongly recommended
that at least two of the normals
he abolished. The general be
lief is that the legislature will
pass som 2 sort of law in com
pliance with this recommenda
tion. The matter of one board
of control is also favorably con
sidered. Beyond doubt some
decisive action will be taken in
regard to tha normals, as the
fight is on already in the legis
lative halls-
HUXTERS' LICENSES.
According to the law now in
force each county in Oregon is
obliged to provide the necessary
printed blanks and hire the re
quired clerical assistance for the
issuance of licenses to hunters,
and attend to the collection of
fees, although all such fees go
into the state treasury. This
scarcely seems a square deal to
the counties.
Two bills have already appear
ed in the house during the pre
sent session of the legislature for i
the purpose of bringing about a
more satisfactory state of af -
fairs by the passage of anew;10-
law regulating the issuances of
hunters' licenses. One of these
bills was introduced by Repre
sentative Beveridge, who pro
vides that the. county shall re
serve from these fees an amount
sufficient to defray the expenses
incurred in their collection.
Representative Jackson is the
father of another bill of this
nature. His bill exempts bona
fide residents of the state from
paying for this license and im
poses upon non-residents a li
cense of $25. These licenses are
to be non-transferable and are
to expire December 31 of the
year of issue. All money col
lected from the issuance of such
licenses is to be turned into the
state treasury and such fines as
are collected shall go to the
school fund of the county col
ectinS said fine. Violations of
the law are punishable by fines
ranging from $25 to $250, or im
prisonment in the county jail
from 20 to 100 days, or by both
fine and imprisonment.
He Won Prizes.
Continued From First Pate
roads, it is almost certain that
he would have taken first prize.
A three year-old nanny belong
ing to this gentleman carried off
first prize, and a two year-old
nanny was awarded third prize.
The eighth annual Oregon An
gora goat show held at Dallas on
January 9,-10 and 11 has proved
the banner one of all Oregon An
gora exhibits and in fact was the
largest and best show of Angora
goats that has been held in the
entire country since the World's
Fair.
Nearly two hundred superior
animals were on exhibition and
breeders were in attendance from
all over the state and from var
ious parts of the Northwest.
This sho w will go into the his
tory of Angora husbandry in
Oregon as on 3 reflecting great
credit upon the committee having
its management in charge; ' the
committeemen being U. S. Grant,
H. L. Fenton, W. A. Ayres, Jas.
Riddle, C. W. McBae and J. I.
Reasoner, all progressive Angora
goat breeders of Polk county.
Angora husbandry in Oregon
ranks well in importance with all
other livestock pursuits. The
state ranks second, if not . first in
the number of Angora goats and
production of monair in the Uni
ted States, the annual clip from
its flock of Angoras running in
value well up to $150 000 while
the value of their yearly increase
approximates $350 000 thus fully
a nail a million dollars ot new
wealth is added annually to the
yield of Oregon farms from An
gora goats. Oregon mohair
ranks with the best in the east
ern markets and commands the
highest market prices. The An
goras of the scate are of a parti
cularly well bred type, the foun
dation stock being the thorough
bred goats introduced years ago
and directly traceable to the first
American importations. .

IT WAS A MISTAKE.
No "Mysterious Lady" Has Died
in Corvallis A Strange Affair.
Last Sunday's Portland Jour
nal, contained a dispatch dated at
Corvallis, which went on to ;tate
that anunknoyH. , lacjy had been
brought to Corvallis and taken to
the "Philadelphia lodging house'
where she died later, her oeath
being shrouded id mystery, etc,
etc.
Although the dispatch bore the
Corvallis head line it was not
sent from this city, not, at least,
by. the regular correspondent, as
no such circumstances have ever
been known here, nor is there
any "Philadelphia" boarding
house in this city. How the dis
patch came to be under a Corval
lis head line is not understood
here,, but because of its publica-
tion the Corvallis correspondent
Jot the Journal received Wednes
day the following self-explanatory
letter from! Mr. A. Jordon of
Hubbard. It anyone can assist
Mr. Jordon. by, furnishing the in
formation sought it will, un
doubtedly be a greatly appreciat-
1-'-. 1 Ui , uia 1 1 l L V oavc
We understand that vott were
the lady that sent an acc
the Sunday Journal of a strange
lady who died a.' the Plulad lp.u
Hotel. We have a sister who
disappeared from our home heie
at Hubbard between 12 and 6
o'clock New Year's morning.
This lady was. 5 feet 8 inches
tall, dark hair and eyes, very
slender. As far as we know shr
had no clothes with her excep
what she bad on. She wore a
red waist, kind of a dressing
sacqne, a dark ski:t, rather a
salt and. pepper effect. She has
false teeth, her lower set being
broken. She did her hair on top
of her bead. She had on a black
jacket, a light hat tti mined with
a rosette with a brass buckle, a
fur around her neck."
A stamp photo of the iiubbard
lidy was enclosed and a request
for an immediate reply in which
it was urged that details of. th e
mysterious lady at the "Paila-
delphia lodging bouse" be given.
Unfortunately for the Hubbard
relatives, no such information is
obtainable here.
Verdict for Dr. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladles' Home Journal.
Sending truth after a lie. It Is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce
and his "Favorite Prescription "published
in the May (1904) number of the Ladies"
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
ble, groveling retraction, with its incon
spicuous heading, published two months
later. It was bold y charged in the sland
erous and libelous article that Ur. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure of
woman's weaknesses and ailments, con
tained alcohol and other harmful ingretli
ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies"
Home Journal, for 8200i000,00 damages.
Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witlf the intent of Injuring ills
urtherrhore, th" t no alconol, 01
urious. or habit-forming, drugs
were, contained in his "c a-
iption"; that said medicine
5m native medicinal roots and
no harmful ingredients what-
d that Mr. Bok's malicious state-
mralg were wholly and absolutely false.

BACKWARD BOYS.
Brilliant Men Who Did Not Shine
In
Their Younger Days.
I think most men who have been,
educated at any large public school
readily call to mind numerous
instances of boys who were always
winning prizes, yet have not done
any tiling worth mentioning in after
life. , And I am confident that upon
investigating" the early years of
those who have led a strenuous and
remarkably successful career it will
be found that the majority were
rather lazy than not before they en
tered upon the actual battle of life.
Oliver Goldsmith was looked
upon by his schoolmaster as a dunce.
That may possibly have been the
fault of the latter. I fancy there is
the mindfein Scholastic career, just
as there is in a doctor's. That at
least is my individual experience.
Gladstone never took a prize at
school, if I remember aright, though
he subsequently ' gained a double
first at Oxford. Those high priests
of science and philosophy, Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen
cer, did not particularly shine in
their younger days.
We find plenty of evidence that
people who in the first stages of
their career make prolonged and ex
haustive demands on their stores of
nerve force rarely attain length of
days. ' Whether those demands have
been made merely in the pursuit of
wealth or for some more noble ob
ject does not matter. The result is
the same. Thus Napoleon consid
ered about four hours in bed . f'&
good night's rest." He joined the
majority at fifty-one. Dickens pass
ed over at fifty-eight, his great rival,
Thackeray, at fif ty-two. Byron
achieved his unique reputation in
the" short compass of thirty-six
years, Mozart in thirty-five and
Schiller in forty-five. Alfred Beit
died at fifty-three and Cecil Rhodes
at fortv-eiffht. London Chronicle.
