the deal Involves, It is understood that
'no purchase price Is close to $300 -000.
Title to the property remains
wun the Lownsdale Orchard Company,
a corporation of which Mr. Lowns
dale was the president and in which
he was the principal stockholder, he
having held all but two or three shares
of stock. The stock alone changes
hands. The 1910 crop of apples also
has been sold. Ill health la eiven n
me cause of his retirement.
Mr. Lownsdale was virtually the
pioneer of all later day apple growing
in ine Willamette Valley. When he
planted his orchard 21 years ago ap
ple growing in that section was al
most a lost art. The possibility of
growing apples there often had been
denied, even the pioneers of the valley
having concluded that it was not pos
sible to produce the wonderful results
that had given the valley a great repu
tation before fruit pests appeared.
He took issue with this belief and
remembering the magnificent apples
grown by his father, by the Llewell
yns, by the Wallings and by hund
reds of others, planted an orchard of
300 acres. The success of the plant
ing Is known all over the United
States and England, and this year as
far away as Brazil. The work of Mr.
Lownsdale has re-established the ap
plegrowing industry In the great val
ley reaching from Portland to Eugene.
His orchard has been a material
demonstration of his ideas, this year
crowning his success with a record
production of 75,000 boxes. The crop
which had been sold to the Karl
Fruit Company, is involved in a sep
arate deal, the purchasers of the land
continuing the contract.
Mr. Lownsdale now has In mind the
establishment of a market for hand
ling the fruit of this region and hopes
to perfect the organization of a Will
amette Valley Fruitgrowers' Associa
tion, the object being to provide a
common channel for the output.
The Lownsdale orchards have been
productive principally of Ben Davis
apples, although Baldwins and Spitz
enbergs have been grown. In recent
years 80 acres have been grafted with
Yellow Newtowns. He also has cross
grafted many trees, producing im
provements on these varieties.

MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at rortlnnd Union
Stock Yards.
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 26 The re
ceipts on this market for the week
ending today have been as follows:
Cattle, 1719; calves, 103; hogs, 1304;
sheep, 6817; goats, 239; horses, 15.
As a whole, the receipts In cattle
have been of a better quality than
heretofore and have commanded bet
ter prices. Buyers seem to want the
better grades and are willing to pay
the price when they can get the stun.
Cows have remained steady. Some ex-
'tra fine Montnna heifers brought 5c,
j but the majority of the sales ran from
4' to 4 34. Light calves are In good
! demand, with very few offering.
Owing to the heavy receipts In
sheep, the market has declined some
what from the high plane established
the first of the week. Good wethers
i are quoted 25c off, making the top
'about $4.50.
Hogs are still on the decline, c now
being the best offered. This is a de
cline of 75c for the week, as one load
of choice hogs sold for $8.75 Monday.
The majority of the sales that day.
however, were made at 8.65. Since
then the market has gone off steadily.
Representative sales have been as
follows: Steers. 4.60 to $5.50; weth

Still Another Opinion.
Attorney-General Crawford handed
down still another opinion yesterday
. ... ir.,m. mile amendment.
covering i": "
If Champ Clark la elected speaker
of the next house of representatives,
he will be the thlrty-flfm man chosen
as the regular presiding officer of the
lower branch of congress and the first
ever selected from the state of Missouri.
Representative Clark would also be
the second speaker to hail from west
of the Mississippi river. Iowa has the
distinction of being the only state west
of the Mississippi that has been hon
ored with the speakership up to the
present time. The late David B. Hen
derson, of Iowa, served as speaker of
the fifty-sixth and fifty-seventh con
gresses. Massachusetts, Virginia and Ken
tucky are the states which have been
most highly favored in regards to the
speakership. Each has had four of Its
representatives chosen to preside over
the house.
The four speakers from Massachu
setts were Theodore Sedwick, of the
twenty-first congress; Joseph D. Var
num, of the tenth and eleventh con
gresses; Robert C. Winthrop, of the
thirtieth congress, and Nathaniel F.
Banks, of the thirty-fourth. When Mr.
Winthrop was elected speaker of the
thirtieth congress It was by a majority
of one vote, which Is the closest con
test known.
The Virginia speakers were Phillip
Barbour, who presided over the
seventeenth congress and afterwards
served in the senate; Andrew Steven
son, who served from 1S27 to 1834
John M. Jones, who was speaker of
the thirty-eighth congress and died
soon after completing his service, arid
It. M. T. Hunter, who was speaker of
the twenty-sixth congress and after
ward served as secretary of state of
the Confederate government.
The four Kentucky speakers were
Henry Clay, who presided over five of
the early congresses; John White, of
the twenty-seventh congress; Linn
Boyd, of the thirty-second and thirty
third congresses, and the late John G
Carlisle, who occupied the speaker's
chair in the forty-eight, forty-ninth
and fiftieth sessions.
In Henry Clay the state of Kentucky
holds the record for long, service In the
speaker's chair. Mr. Clay served nine
and a half years as speaker, though
his service was not continuous. The
next longest record is that of Mr. Can
non, who will have served eight years
when he yields up the gavel to his
successor next March.
Pennsylvania and Indiana have each
had three speakers of the house.
Pennsylvania contributed the speaker
of the first congress. Frederick A
Muhlenburg, who was one of the three
brothers who immigrated from Ger
many before the revolution, and all of
whom rendered distinguished services
to the country of their adoption. The
other speakers from the Keystone
state were of later date. Galusha
Grow, who occupied the chair at the
beginning of the civil war, and Sam
uel J. Randall, who presided over the
house from 1876 to 1881.
John W. Davis, known as "Honest
John," was the first speaker from In
diana. He presided over the twenty
ninth congress and was afterward
governor of Oregon territory. Schuy
ler Colfax, of Indiana, was chosen
speaker In 1865 and served until 1869,
when he became vice president. The
third speaker from Indiana was Mich
ael C. Keer, who was elected In 1875,
and died early in the following year.
Maine, Georgia, New Jersey, South
Carolina and Tennessee have each had
two sneakers. From Maine eame
James G. Blaine and the equally fa
mous Thomas B. Reed; from Georgia,
Howell Cobb and Charles. F. Crisp;
from South Carolina, Langdon Cheves
and James L. Orr, and from Tennes
see, John Bell and James K. Polk,
The two speakers from New Jersey
were Jonathan Dayton, of the fourth
and fifth congresses, and William
Pennington, who presided over the
thirty-eighth congress.
The only speaker from Connecticut
was Jonathan Trumbull, who presided
over the second congress. The only
speaker from Ohio was Gen. J. War
ren Keifer, who presided during the
forty-seventh congress, and who Is a
member of the present house. From
North Carolina came Nathaniel Ma
con, who became speaker In 1801. He
served as a representative for nearly
a quarter of a century and was known
coerinK u. J renuest of ' as the father of the house.

Dalian Taxpayer Defends Action of
: City Council in Leasing Ground,
DALLAS, Or., Nov. 28 (To the Ed
itor.) I have just been reading your
editorial about the city councilmen
leasing land to a brother of H. L.
Fenton for a theater. I believe you
are poking fun at them. If so, you are
wrong. I do not know if they want
me to defend them, for no defense
needed, but I will have to try to beat
it Into your head that the council
right.
. Now, just think: $5 a month, $60 a
year. 5 per cent Interest on $1200
Then it is outside money, too,
S-l-x-t-y d-o-l-l-a-r-s a year! Just
think of that. And it will be a mod
em building. Who cares if the Insur
ance on the City Hall does cost more?
If a fire breaks out in the theater or
City Hall, the fire-bell Is right there to
give the alarm.
The city dads made a good bargain
no matter what the Observer may
say about it. They could have rented
it for $30 a year. vThey could have
let it free. They could have made a
whoop-up, and the people would have
built the theater and presented It to
Mr. Fenton. They could have made a
lease for 20 years. Instead of 10 years.
You kick because they are going to
let Mr. Fenton move his buildings off
the lot at the end of the ten years.
You should he glad they are not giving
him the lot, too.
No, Mr. Editor, if you are poking
fun at the city dads, you are wrong.
They have performed a great deed.
They have taken the city grounds out
of politics. They have modestly seal
ed us up. They could have asked for
bids on a lease, and some fool might
have been willing to give $2 0 a month,
but think of the work of opening the
bids!
No, sir, Mr. Editor, you should have
said nothing, slid easy, kept mum
sawed wood, and stood In, and then
you would have been It.
A TAXPAYER.
MEASURES COST $25,000
Expense Five Times as Great As Salary
of Legislators.
It Is estimated that each of the
measures passed at the last general
election will c6st the people of Ore
gon nearly $8000. This Is basing the
estimate on seven measures, that be
Ing the number successful so far as
can be determined from the returns
which have been received at the of
fice of the Secretary of State. Some of
these are doubtful and it is barely pos
sible that an eighth measure has pass
ed. Using seven measures as a baBis,
however, the actual estimated cost
for the passage of each measure is
$7427.
For printing and circulating the In
itiative and referendum pamphlets
there was an expense of approximately
$20,000. Extra counting, caused by the
initiative measures, will cost the peo
pie of the various counties approxi
mately $25,000 and printing of the
ballots cost approximately $7000. This
makes a total of $52,000 as estimated
expense and if anything the estimate
Is conservative, as there are numer
ous miscellaneous items which will
swell the total.
The actual cost for printing the in
itiative and referendum pamphlets,
was $8951.96, acordlng to a state
ment Just filed by L. R. Stlnson, State
Printing Expert. In addition to this Is
the cost of paper, postage, clerk hire
and numerous other expenses, bring
ing the estimated total conservatively
to $20,000.

GIVES ROUSING RECEPTION.
Doors of Historic School Are Again
Thrown Open; Fully 500 Persons
at Banquet.
The week closed with something of
a buying flurry In progress In the hop
market, says the Sunday Oregonian:
As stocks are depleted, the sharp de
mand has added much strength to the
market. Nearly 1200 bales of Oregons
have changed hands In the past two
days at prices ranging from 11 to
134 cents.
The largest buying was done by J.
P. Metzler, who secured nearly 500
bales. His principal purchase was the
Lee Meginn lot of 162 bales at Butte-
ville, for which he paid It hi cents.
The same price was paid for the Crab
tree lot of 68 bales at Forest Grove.
The Weston lot of 127 bales at Forest
Grove was taken by Metxler at 1J
cents, also the Crabtree lot of 127
bales of l09s at 8 cents.
Bishop A Daniels bought $00 to 100
bales in Yamhill County, Including the
Querner lot of C2 bales at McMlnn
ville at 12 H cents and the Kuntx and
Sights lots at 12 cents.
The Prevost crop of ?les at St.
Paul was secured by Mischl. r A Grlb-
l.le st II cents.
Klatxr, Wolf V Netter bought 180
bales of Oregon yearlings at i cents,
including Ct bales from Pi ter Earl, of
Sllverton. and 10 bales from Posey, of
Sherwood.
The same firm bought the Charles
Long crop of 111 hales at Ch-halis at ! University of Oregon, son of the ex-
Cobwebs and dust, which for 18
months have been gathering behind
the locked doors and windows of the
Oregon State Normal School, were
jarred loose Saturday, when nearly
600 alumni from various parts of the
state, public officials and residents of
Monmouth gathered for an all-day
celebration to hail the return of old
conditions, which will place the his
toric Institution under a system of
maintenance by the state.
For the first time In two years the
air of gloom, which has lingered over
Monmouth, was dispelled by old-time
college yells that greeted the arrivals
on every train, coming from the
throats of a big delegation of former
students, who began to see a chance
to realize the completion of their Nor
mal course.
3000 Visitors In Town,
The main feature of the day was a
gathering in the assembly hall, where
addresses were given by many leading
educators of the state and men who
were active In the fight for the Mon
mouth school. The assembly hall was
well filled, it being estimated there
were over 3000 visitors in the city,
Mayor J. H. Hawley;- of Monmouth,
delivered the address of welcome, be
Ing Introduced by J. B. V. Butler, who
acted as chairman of the day. The
Mayor briefly recounted the history
of the campaign waged to bring the
question of the school before the peo
ple and to demonstrate that the in
stitution was worthy of a continuous
lease of life,
This school will be one of the live
wires of the state," he deolared. "As
far as the voice of the people Is con
cerned, we are the one normal school
and the central normal school of Ore
gon. One of the fundamental prlncl
ples that gained victory in the recent
campaign proved to be the merits of
the historic school, and the fact that
the people of Oregon realized this
makes it doubly a victory. - This is not
a large town, nor Is It a wealthy one.
but the spirit Is in our people to bet
ter conditions at the school and to
keep pace with the progress of the
state to the best of our ability.
In the reopening of the school we
will have Increased opportunities, but
we will also have. Increased obliga
tions and we must plan to meet these
obligations and see that they are
paid."
Superintendent of Public Instruction
J. H. Ackerman, In mentioning the
vote passed for the normal, was given
a tremendous ovation when he spoke
of Multnomah's plurality of 6012 for
this bill.
I believe I can bring the assurance
of the board of regents," he said.
that the board will concentrate every
effort to make this normal school sec
ond to none In the United States. I
believe the board pursued a wise poli
cy In closing all of the normals, for it
proved a bar to the people and an
object lesson that awakened them to
the necessity for an Institution where
higher normal training may be se
cured."
Standardization Plan Ts Told.
The. superintendent outlined a plan
for standardization of normals which
will require a four-yeat high school
course before admission Is allowed to
the normal school and providing a
normal school education, which will
admit the teacher to serve In any
state In the Union without further
examination.
"The Monmouth Normal will be a
great factor In bringing this about in
Oregon," he declared.
E. D. Ressler, for several years pres
ident at Monmouth, was given an ova
tion that lasted several minutes. He
dwelt at some length on the local
spirit, pride and enthusiasm that had
marked Monmouth. He said:
We will furnish and have furnished
a faculty and student body here that
has no superior In the East or West.
Oregon boys and girls, when they at
tend some of the larger Eastern col-
eges, always more than hold their
own and this is largely due to the
splendid training they received In the
schools of their own state"
C. N. MeArthur advocated the es
tablishment of three normal schools in
the state.
"The passage of the Monmouth bill
means that Oregon has adopted a nor
mal school policy." he said. "But It
does not mean the state will have only
one normal. It means the people are
alive to the necessity of the schools.
Oregon Is a state of such vast area. It
is folly to believe she will have hut one
normal in years to come. Monmouth
is the mother of normals but the time
will come when we will have such In
stitutions In Eastern and Southern
Oregon ss well. I believe in a broad
state policy and It must come with the
establlahment of these schools."
lreldetit Campbell Applauded.
President P. U Campbell, of the
at least one or two years of the best
type of professional training."
C. L. Starr, ex-Secretary of the
board of normal regents, created a
8ensation'when he applied the term of
"the grandest old educator in the
State of Oregon" to Mayor Hawley.
Among the other speakers were F.
E. Chambers, of Toledo, Joint Repre
sentative from Polk and Benton coun
ties, and C. L. Hawley, of McCoy, Joint
Senator from Polk and Benton. The
Invocation was offered by Rev. Duns
more, of Independence, and there were
vocal solos by Mrs. George Conkey, of
Independence: Mrs. Allen Clark, of
Monmouth, and Rev. Mr. Davis. A re
ceptlon followed the programme.
Banquet Is Served.
In the morning a sumptuous ban
quet was served by the Monmouth
Women's Reading Club in the historic
old gymnasium of the Normal
grounds. Nearly 500 people sat down
at the tables. The hall was prettily
decorated and at each table were cards
bearing the inscription, "Welcome the
6. S. N. S.; 10361; Multnomah 6012;"
Indicating the majorities received for
the Monmouth bill from the Btate at
large and from Multnomah County.
Following the banquet the guests
adjourned to the assembly hall of the
school, where the programme was
given.
Monmouth Normal School's history
extends back to 1866, established pri
marily for the purpose of educating
the children of the pioneers who re
sided in this immediate neighborhood.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lucas Is probably the
only living person who aided in orig
inally establishing the Institution, her
husband, A. W. Lucas, now dead, do
nating some of the land which now
constitutes the Normal School grounds,
"Grandma" Lucas was unable to be
present at the celebration, owing to
her advanced age, but she appreciates
the reinstatement of the Normal
School as much as any.
During the 60s the Christian denom
ination took over the Monmouth Uni
versity and the school was rechrlsten
ed Christian College. In 1869 T. F.
Campbell became president of the
school. His son, P. L. Campbell, is now
president of the University of Oregon.
President T. F. Campbell tjyas a law
yer, a minister and an educator. In
all he ranked high, but he was best
known as an educator, and in the
early days, under his Influence, Christ
ian College became one of the most
powerful , educational factors In the
Northwest.
Prominent Men Graduates.
During his time Christian College
graduated men who are now prom
inent in the affairs of the state. Fed
eral Judges Bean and Wolverton are
both graduates of the Bchool.. Judge
George H. Burnett, recently elected as
Justice of the Supreme Court; United
States Senator George H. McBrlde and
many others who have attained prom
inence were Included among the grad
uates. President Campbell presided at
the cornerstone laying of the present
college building.
In 1882 J. D. Lee, of Dallas, pre
sented a bill at the Legislature which
became a law and which created the
Oregon Normal School from the
Christian College. For 10 years this
normal was conducted without appro
priation of any kind from the state.
but in 1893 the school received its
first appropriation and was fostered
and developed by the state uncil the
Legislature saw fit to wipe out the
normal schools by refusing to further
appropriate money for their existence.
Once more the people, of this vicinity
showed their loyalty to the historic
Institution and nearly $10,000 was
raised.
For two years the school was finan
ced by private subscriptions. There Is
still a little money in the treasury..
It is the hope of Monmouth people
to see the school reopened next Sep
tember. Whethftf this will be possible
is a question of some doubt. Inasmuch
as the bill provides for a normal
school fund and it Is not fully decided
whether the levy will come from this
year's taxes or next, and there is a
bare possibility that the school can
not open until 1912, although Mon
mouth people believe it possible for
the Legislature to avoid this conting
ency by an appropriation. The state
board of normal regents will have
control of the school. Monmouth peo
ple seem to be universally In favor of
the reinstatement of E. D. Ressler,
president of the school.
The committee that promoted the
campaign for the Monmouth Alumni
Association consisted of William D.
Fenton, Judge Burnett, J. C. McCue,
B. V. Butler, Ira C. Powell and A. C.
Hampton. Mr. Butler stated Satur
day that the committee Is desirous of
extending its most heartffelt thanks
to the press of the state for the al
most unlimited assistance given In
promoting the work of the association
In Its fight for the bill.
LOW TO SMALL MILLS
NEW LIABILITY BILL THREATENS
LUSIREK INDUSTRY.
Small Concern Could Be Rendered
Bankrupt by Single Action for
Damages.
Operators of the smaller lumber
mills in Oregon will be the chief suf
ferers from the employers' liability
law passed under the initiative at the
recent election, in the opinion of per
sons familiar with the timber industry
In this state.
"While the law will no doubt affect
the large companies as well as the In
dividual mill owners, the latter will
not be In position to meet payment of
damages of consequence," said A. B.
Wastell, of the Whitney Company,
Limited. "A small concern could be
rendered bankrupt In one case If the
workings of the law result In the pur
pose desired by the authors of the act.
The larger concerns for self-protection
will undoubtedly make determined
fights against all cases where unrea
sonable damages may- be asked for
and, of course, such cases will be
fought out in the higher courta
"I believe that the lumber manu
facturing interests should formulate
a plan of some kind of Industrial In
surance by which both the employer
and the employe will benefit by mu
tual protection. The timber Industry
in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest
Is a most important one and it will be
necessary to have safe and sane laws
governing: the ' matter. Industrial in
surance, as in effect in Germany has
proved a most satisfactory method of
dealing with the probjem 6f accidents
Inseparable with manufacturing en
terprises in general."
Mill Men Aro Hopeful.
Although freight rates to Eastern
points on lumber have been unsatis
factory for some time and lumber
shipments have been curtailed to a
large extent, lumbermen are hopeful
that the market for the better grade
stuff will improve soon after the be
ginning of the year.
To broaden the demand for building
lumber the Oregon & - Washington
Lumber Manufacturing Association
niay decide at once to send representa
tives Into new fields for the purpose of
creating new markets for lumber out
put. This matter has been under con
sideration several weeks, and It is un
derstood that It meets with the appro
val of a majority of the members of
the association. Oregonian.
