SCHOOLS ARE AIDED.
Several Good Laws Were Passed at
Recent Legislative Session.
I Salem The following is a svnoDsis
of the changes made in the school laws
by the last legislature :
livery district in the state must
maintain at least six months of school
each year.. A county court of each
county must levy a tax for school pur
poses that will produce an amount
which will aggregate at least $7 for
each child of school age. If a district's
share of this sum does not amount to
$300 (six months at $50 per month),
then the county court must levy upon
the property of such district a special
tax large enough to produce the differ
ence; provided that such special tax
levy does not exceed a 5-mill tax. If
the district's share of the county school
fund and the amount raised by a 5-mill
tax does not amount to $300, then the
county court must transfer from the
general county fund to the special
fund of such district an amount that
will equal the difference.
The apportionment to each district is
made $100 instead of $50 before the
per capita distribution is made.
Another change provides that a
county at any general election may
vote upon the question of creating a
county high school fund. When such
fund has been created it is placed under
the control of a county high school
board, consisting of members of the
County court, the county treasurer at
any general election may vote upon
the question of creating a county high
school fund. When such fund has been
created it is placed under the control
of a county high school board, consist
ing of members and the county school
superintendent
County superintendents are given
authority to make a partial apportion
ment of the money to any district upon
the request of the board of directors of
such district.
Secret societies, including fraterni
ties and sororities, which may now or
hereafter exist in any of the public
schools of the state, including high
schools, are declared unlawful.
The governor shall appoint by the
first Monday in July, 1909, a board of
five members, called the Board of
Higher Curricula. , The members shall
serve without pay, excepting traveling
expenses. The duty or tne ooara snau
be to determine what courses ol studies
of departments shall not be duplicated
in the higher educational institutions
of Oregon. It shall be the duty of
each institution to conform thereto,
Any changes that are made shall be
come effective at the beginning of the
school year following such determina
tion.
The outside doors and other exits of
all school buildings shall be so swung
and hineed that they shall open out
ward.
Low Rates Inaugurated.
Portland In view of the fact that
Portland and Seattle, the two principal
cities of the Northwest" are to hold
notable celebrations the coming sum
mer, the various trans-continental rail
roads with terminals in the V acihe
Northwest have conceded extremely
low excursion rates from all points
the East and Middle West Portland
will hold its third grand annual rose
festival the week of June 7-12, while
Seattle will be hostess for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition, continuing
all summer. The rates which the rail
roads have given are much more at
tractive than any that have been put
into effect in any previous year, so far
as this part of the country is concerned,
and they permit of a much wider range
of stop-overs and side trips, all of which
is appreciated by tne rouriBi. many
communities and individuals in the
Northwest have taken advantage, of
this and have notified their friends and
relatives in the East to make the trip
this summer and to do so early in tne
season so as to be able to visit the ex-
ivwitinns at both Portland and beanie,
The rates are effective May 20, plenty

Title of State School Will
Taken Away by Regents.
Salem At a meeting of the normal
board of regents it was voted to close
all state normal schools at once unless
maintained by private subscription,
and then only until the end of the pres
ent half year. Hereafter the schools
will be permitted to run as local public
schools or as private normals, but will
not be permitted to pose as state nor
mals. This means the closing or Ash
land, Weston and Monmouth normals
at the end of this year, as all have se
cured funds to carry them to the latter
part of June.
In discussing the situation the mem
bers of the board agreed that since the
1907 legislature prohibited the board
from incurring any debt and the 1909
legislature failed to make an appro
priation, the board has no right to con
tinue the normals, thereby laying the
foundation for a claim for reimburse
ment The board will even refuse to
permit the schools to run as state nor
mals by private subscription after the
end of this school year, for the reason
that it is the desire to carry out to the
letter the legislature's idea ef closing
all the normals. This will leave the
field clear for the. legislature of 1911
to settle the normal problem.
Ten Unions in Umatilla.
Pendleton Ten local organizations
of the Farmers' Educational & Co
operative union of America have been
formed in this county and the number
will probably be increased to 15 within
the next few days. The two latest ad
ditions are at Pilot Rock and Holdman.
Some of the sheepmen went in with
the farmers at Pilot Rock and there is
talk of erecting a joint warehouse,
which shall be used for the storing of
both wheat and wool. No definite ac
tion was taken on the proposition, how
ever.
I hww TO BUILD RURAL I .
Want a Telephone?
If you do you can get it. If you are anxious to get into closer
touch with your friends, with the family doctor, with the store, with the
post office, or with the cotton buyer, you can do it with a telephone
at hand. If you want to make the farm a more livable place, if you
want to protect your home, you can do it by installing a telephone.
If you will cut out this advertisement, write your name and
address on the margin and mall it to-day to our nearest house,
we will send you at once a copy of our Free Bulletin No. 112 on
"How to Build Rural Telephone Lines"
This Bulletin explains clearly how a rural telephone system is built
and operated, and it also contains full information as to costs.
In a Farmer's Mutual Company a few day's labor and a cash
Investment of about $25. per subscriber; will purchase all material
and build an absolutely standard system.
A Rural Telephone Is an investment, not an expense. The
telephone which enables you to sell ten bales of cotton at Y cent per
pound more than the traveling buyer offers you, has paid for its en
tire cost. If you have some hay down all ready to go in, it is worth
something to have a telephone with which to call on Neighbor Smith "for a lift" before the storm breaks.
The Rural Telephone pays for itself each year and we have brought the initial cost within the
reach of every farmer. Present prices are especially favorable and thousands of Farmers' Mutual Com
panies are now organizing so as to build their lines this Spring. Write us to-day.

Cows Make Good Returns.
Brownsville Harry Parks, a farmer
of this vicinity, has given a statement
of the net returns from his nine cows
for the past year. The total is $660
or an average of $73.33 each. Browns
ville is becoming one of the largest
dairy sections of the state. A num
ber of the farmers have large silos and
put up hundreds of tons of cut corn,
vetch and clover for ensilage. It is
claimed that ensilage prepared in this
way is the best milk producing food,
also the cheapest.
- Ditch Break Floods Echo.
Pendleton Echo was flooded with
water as a result of a break in the gov
ernment ditch at that point. The break
occurred just above the depot and the
water rushed down the hill at a tre
mendous speed. After the water was
shut off at the intake, one mile and a
half distant, water flowing at the rate
of 80 second feet had yet to find its way
into the streets. A large portion of
the town was protected by the railroad
grade, which turned the flood.

asking that Mr. Justin, a professor of

presumably because Mr. Justin is not a
resident of Umatilla county.
