THE SCHOOL QUESTION. A meeting has been called for Wed oesday, May 19, for the purpose of discussing plans for erecting a Dew schoolhouse in this district. At that meeting, a solution for the problem that confronts the district will probably be found. The vote by which the proposition to bond the district for $40,000 was defeated last week was not directed against the educational growth of the community nor yet against the board that directs its school affairs. The voters of the district hare an earnest desire to see its school prosper and place the utmost confidence in the administration of its school board. knowing them to be men of prudea.ee and business ability. The vote which defeated the bonding proposition was, as the general sentiment of the public seems to show, directed against nothing but the uncertainty of the plan. The idea of voting . heavy bonds with the Idea of not using all, "only what is needed" appears distasteful to the majority of voters ofi account of its indefiniteness. Given a- definite demand, with an adequate knowledge of the reasons therefor, there are few of the citizens of the district who would be unwilling to meet it. If, at the school meeting that has been called, a definite outline may be given of just what additions, charges or improvements are required, to gether with a statement of the amount necessary to meet the demand, there is every reason to believe that the amount asked for would be voted practically without opposition. J road mead farm, or as more familiarly known the Ladd and Beed farm, located in Yamhill and Polk Counties, consisting of 3000 acres, has been bought by Portland investors. Broad mead farm is probably the best known large tract in a single holding in Western Oregon, and for years has been famous as a stock and farming tract. The purchase was made by a syndi cate composed of L. B. Menefee, D. E. Keasey, J. B. Patterson and George Akers, and through the agency of D. E. Keasey & Company the property was transferred to the Columbia Trust Company. The consideration is re ported to be about $200,000. About 600 acres was retained by Menefee and Keasey, including the big farmhouse, the intention being to modernize the house and make of it a country home for the two families of the owoers. The Southern Pacific runs directly through the property, the distance from Portland beiDg 42 miles. The Sheridan and Dallas junction is in the heart of the tract, and the pro jected line of the McMinnville branch of the Oregon Electric road also runs through the property. The proposed townsiteof Broadmead will be located at the junction, which provides an ideal location for a new town, there being already sites engaged for a hotel, general store and blacksmith shop. The trust company is to act as selling agent for townsite lots and acreage.

He is very enthusiastic over the farming prospects in Oregon and is eager to have the large farms n Western Oregon cut up into small tracts so as to provide homes for families of moderate means. The trust company announces that it is to be its policy in placing the Broadmead tract on the market to make easy terms with purchasers and sell on the installment plan. The farm was owned by Ladd and Reed for many years and was devoted to the raising of fl tie cattle and horses. The farm produced the only curload of red clover seed ever grown in the val ley, and it was the pioneer In this culture. A number of orchards have been started on the farm and there are 100 acres set out in English walnuts, the trees being now two years old. The lands have been pronounced excellent for these purposes as well as for vege table and small fruit raising. The big tract has been kept in an excellent state of cultivation for many years and there are miles of drainage tiling from almost every section of it. Ore-gonlan. Circuit Court Docket.

Adjudged Insane. A. J. Harris, from near West Salem, was brought to Dallas, Tuesday, for examination before Judge Ed F. Coad, who adjudged him insane and ordered his com mittement to the State Insane Asylum in Salem. Mr. Harris received an injury on his head some time ago by falling from a wagon. For several weeks after the accident the symptoms of the mental derangement were not very noticeable. Gradually he grew worse and he was taken to California by relatives, in hopes that the change would work a cure. Their efforts were fruitless, however, and his insan ity finally became so pronounced that it was deemed wise to have him sent to the asylum for treatment Sine his mental trouble is quite evideutly due to the Injury he received, it Is hoped that surgical treatment may restore nis reason.
