James Steel, of Portland, is to be
Oregon's new State Bank Examiner.
His appointment was announced yes
terday, to take effect May 25. The
office carries a salary of (3000 a year
and expenses. Mr. Steel is a brother
of State Treasurer George A. Steel
and has spent the greater part of his
life in the banking business.
It now seems certain that the whole
Normal School question will be passed
up to the voters through the initia
tive. This is the course that should
have been pursued two years ago
instead of invoking the referendum
on the appropriation bills The people
of Oregon will take their Normal
school system out of politics when
they once get a chance to vote on the
question of which schools shall be re
tained and which abolished.

reconsider their recent agreement to judge H. L. Benson,
close their stores at 6 o clock in tee
evening. The early closing rule has
been In force aboot three weeks and is
already highly unpopular, especially
among the farmers, mill workers and
other Ut-ori eg classes. As the days
continue to lengthen, the movement
will grow less in favor, as 6 o'clock in
the lorsg summer days will seem
about like the middle of the afternoon.
Even now, it seems strange to see
business practically suspended and
the streets quiet in broad daylight
The Obsebvu. believes that this
o'clock rule, if persisted in, will work
incalculable injury to the business
interest of Dallas, as it will tend to
divert the farmers trade to surround
ing towffs. The season of the year is
approaching, in fact, is already here,
when every daylight hour is of Talue
to the farmer and laborer, and these
men cannot be expected to quit their
work and go to the stores to purchase
thir daily food supplies. The truth
is, tbey simply will oot do it so long
as they can make their purchases
elsewhere after their day's work is
over.
Six o'clock in the quiet winter
months is not an unreasonable clos
in? hour, although in stores and.
shops where the necessities of life are
sold, eight o'clock would be better.
But in the busy summer days, there is
no good reason why the doors of these
business houses should be closed in
practically the middle of the after
noon. The Obskkvek hopes that the grocery
merchants of Dallas will take these
remarks in the spirit in which they are
offered and reconsider their early clos
ing agreement Eight o'clock closing
in the summer and seven in the winter
would work no hardship on either the
proprietors or the clerks, and would
be greatly appreciated by the buying
public.

The County Court is considering the
advisability of having the timber
lands of western Polk county cruised
for tne purpose of arriving at a more
equitable valuation for assessment,
Since some of these claims are worth
much more than others, there is no
good reason why all should he as
seased at the same figure. The only
fair and equitable method of assess
roent would be to ascertain the exact
amount of timber on each claim and
make the valuation accordingly. It
is believed that the county would gain
enough additional taxes the first year
under this plan to pay the expense of
cruising the timber.
