Salem Believing that the rural schools are most urgently in need of attention and strengthening at the present time, Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction J. H. Ackerman has declined to aid in promoting leglala tlon having for its purpose establish ment of a system of inspection and uniform examinations In High Schools. There are two movements on foot for the creation of the office of High School Inspector. One plan Is that the High School Inspector shall be appointed by the State University and Khali bring the High Schools of the state to such a standard of work as shall harmonize with the work of the University. The other plan Is that the Inspector shall be appointed by the State Board of Education and shall bring the High Schools to such a standard as the board may deem best for the students. State May Hire Dufry Inspectors.

Philippe Bunau-Varilla, chief engineer of the Panama canal under the French regime at the Isthmus, that the lock plan now being followed would result In certain disaster has re sulted in much discussion. As the re sult of this and other statements from anglneerlng authorities about the lock plan of construction, President Elect Toft is about to undertake n trip to Pnnama in order to satisfy himself that no nilHtakes are being made In the prosecution of this preut tusk. It Is believed tlit If he can be con vinced that the lo k plan is not entire ly safe the ch :e to a sea level will be reoiii:vc!:deil, and radical altera tions in tiie work will In that event l;o upu'e in all likelihood. M. Ilunau-Vti-tilla, while paying high tribute to the energy with which the American engi neers ore prosecuting the work, de clared: "It Is doing a service to the United States to nttirm that the plan beins followed will almost Infallibly end in the greutest disaster in the history of great public works ever recorded. The ennal as conceived will exist or not according as the On tun dam holds or M. PHILIPPE BUNAU-VARILLA. does not. Now. I, with all the French engineers who have studied the Pan ama canal Question, have the absolute conviction that the site of the Gatun dnm will result in certain destruction. I raised the first cry of alarm In a let ter to President Koosevelt ou March 3, 19C0, and not only Is my conviction not mndlfled, but it has Just received an ominous confirmation In the nccl lent which occurred In November." The stop at Panama of the fleet of rulsers under command of Rear Ad miral William T. Swinburne served to focus special attention on this oflicer ind his warships. This stop was the first the fleet made after leaving Mng lulena buy on its southern cruise, and the otllcers and men were the recip ients of many courtesies nt the Isth mus.

Representative Olcott of New York gave a little illustration of the way the average Cannon man proposes to stick ' to Uncle Joe. Mr. Olcott was asked who he favored for sjieaker. "1 am for Cannon," he replied. "Would you be for Cannon If Taft opposed him?" "1 am for Cannon." "Would you be for Cannon If he should be indicted for burglary?" "I am for Cannon" wus always the answer. Perhaps Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Miss Helen Tuft are the two members of the younger society set In Washing ton now most talked about. Miss Taft has made an especially bril liant record in her classes at college and seminary, being now at Bryn Mawr. There Is naturally some eager ness on the part of Washington girls to be counted among the friends of these popular young women. One of those who are Intimate with both Miss viz . v WISS FKAKCE8 M.

Lto Author-Journalist Who Founded American Press Association. In the historic Sleepy Hollow ceme- tey, near the spot whore the dust of FIRE INSURANCE PLATE GLASS INS. STOCK INSURANCE I In Print! ! y ft MWrM 1 31- Washington Irving reposes, the body of Major Orlando Jay Smith, editor, author and founder of the American Press Association, was recently laid to rest. Thus In death, as in life. It seemed that he was In the midst of associations such us he loved. His tory and philosophy and the facts un derlying the motives of human prog ress wen subjects that appealed espe cially to his Interest mid engaged his study even amid the duties of a busy Journalistic career. Major Smith was born June 14. 1S42. on a farm near Tern? Haute. Ind., and THE LATE ORLANDO JAT SMITH. his ancestors were Vermonters. His father. Hiram Smith, was one of In diana's pioneers. He sent his son to the public schools and later to Asbury college, now called De Pauy universi ty. From it in later years Major Smith received the honorary degree of LI.. D. He was not quite nineteen when the civil war broke out. but he enlisted at once in the Union army and served until the end of the war, being in the armies of the Potomac, Ohio and Cumberland and rising to the rank of major ip the Sixth Indiana cavalry. Ills war record was a gal lant one and Included some stirring episodes. At one time he was wound ed and taken prisoner. After confine ment in a Confederate prison at Au gusta, Ga.. he was exchanged and re joined bis regiment. After the war Major Smith engaged for a time in cotton planting lu Mis sissippi, but the call to wield his tal ents lu the field of journalism proved u compelling one. and his career lu the newspaper world was begun as editor of the Torre Haute (Ind.) Mall. He subsequently acquired the Terre Haute Cxprcs.s, but removed it to Chicago, continuing its publication as the Chi cago Express. It was in 1882 that he established the American Press As soclatlon, and during the rest of bis life be remained Its president and gen eral manager, giving it his active inter est and thoughtful care. Although this association constitutes a notable monu meut to Major Smith, It Is quite possi ble that in years to come he will be best remembered as a philosophic thinker and as the author of works bearing upon human character and destiny. Among these are "A Short View of Great Questions," "The Com ing Democracy." "Eternallsm," "Bal uce" and "Agreement Between Science ni:d Religion." He was a great lover of nature, as was shown In the sur roundings of his home at Dobbs Ferry. N. V., and on bis farm at Amawalk, N. Y.. where some of the finest speci mens of arboriculture are to be found. Major Smith was of most dignified bearing and kindly manners, and his geniality made friends of all who en- Joyed his acquaintance. He married in 1SS1 Miss Evelyn V. Brady, and she and two daughters aud a son survive bim. Wur Claim Is Allowed. Salem Attorney-General Craw ford has received a dispatch from Washington saying that the United States court of claims has allowed the state of Oregon $199,000 on ac count of Civil War claims arising out of expenditures made by thta state in raising and maintaining volunteer troops. Out of this sum $19,900 will be paid to Washington lawyers who assisted in the case, and the remain der will be paid into the irreducible common school fund.
