Defeat of Free Text Book Law No IjOss
To Oregon.
The danger of disease Infection,
the lack of any pressing necessity and
the satisfactory terms of the present
law are the basis upon which Profes
sor E. D. Ressler, of the department
of education at the Oregon Agrlcultu
ral College, rests his conviction that
the state has lost nothing vital through
the defeat of the free text book law
proposed in the 'legislature this year.
"We have had the free text book
questfon under consideration in the
past two or three Legislatures," said
Professor Ressler in discussing the
matter, "and there is now a provision
in the statutes'" that school districts
may vote free text books, in case the
pupils are unable to provide them
themselves; or the board may pro
vide them, upon written recommenda
tion of the clerk of the School Board,
for Indigent pupils. 1
"'Personally I am not in favor of a
compulsory free text-book law, so I
do not mourn the demise of the one
presented in the Legislature this year.
I think the optional arrangement In
the present law Is sufficient to meet
conditions in Oregon as they now ex
ist. Our text books are not frequent
ly changed. They are adopted for
periods of six years at a time, and at

often many changes, the old books
being continued. Thus the mattter
of expense is not a great one.
"The sense of ownership in books
and their care, is I think,' an impor
tant matter for the child's develop
ment, and is not possible, of course,
where there are free text-books.
"More important than this, how
ever, is, the very real danger of dis
ease infection from books handed down
by the school district from one gener
ation of pupils to another. Thorough
fumigation will, it is true, minimize
such dangers; but that is Trot an easy
task, and few school districts would
be likely to attend to the matter as
faithfully as necessary.
"The danger of infection is great;
the need of free text-books is certain
ly not a pressing one, and the present
law makes sufficient provision where
there is necessity; these, it seems to
me, are reasons for a fair degree of
satisfaction with the present Btatus of
the free text-book question of Oregon."
PB0GRESS1VE PATRONS
SCirtfOIi MEETING AT PEDF.E IS
- WELL ATTENDED,
Schedule of Dates Arrarteed For
Remainder of Polk Coimty -Series.
If the residents of "every part of the
county took as much interest in school
affairs as the people of the Pedee
section, Polk County would win fame
far and wide as the center of progress
In the state's rural educational system.
Those who had planned the meeting
to be held there last Saturday had a
premonition as the date drew near,
that it would be a failure, for the
weather was superb and farm work
was being rushed, and it was scarce
expected that the plow and the drill
could be stopped long enough to allow
people to attend. ,A1I the way out
Superintendent Seymour was bewailing
his failure to take along a fishing out
fit to while away the idle moments
during a meeting that wouldn't meet,'
but when he drew up at the school
house he was so astonished at the at
tendance that he had to rub his eyes
to make sure that he was not seeing
in multiples. Almost everybody in the
whole five districts was there, and be

TREASURER SCENTS GRAFT
No
Chicken Money For Chinamen,
Says Gene Simpson.
The poultry raisers of , Benton
County have in their treasury the sum
of $25 a surplus from their last
show. A suggestion that this money
be donated to the Chinese relief fund
arouses the ire of Gene Simpson, the
well-known pheasant breeder, and
treasurer of the poultry association,
who thinks such a transfer would be
about as inconsistent as the act of
governor of an Eastern state, who
used the fund created from, a state
hunters' license to build a band stand
In his hdme town.
"How many cents out of every dol
lar collected for the famine-stricken
Chinese will ever reach the hands of
those for whom it was intended?" asks
Mr. Simpson. "During the first twelve
months of the Spanish-American war,
thousands of dollars was collected
throughout the United States by the
Red Cross and other organizations for
the benefit of the volunteer soldiers In
the Philippines and Cuba. As such .a
volunteer, sailing on the first trans
port that ever left the shores of the
United States for foreign service, I
can truthfully say that all I ever re
cbived over a.nd above the regulation
pork and bean rations was a 'house
wife' and a narrowstrip of red flannel
(called an abdominal, or 'abominable'
bandage), a very useful article, how
ever, for cleaning a gun, when well
soaked In cocoanut oil. The 'house
wife" consisted of an odd assortment
of buttons, a spool pf thread and a few
rusty needles. The officers mess,
thanks to a generous Red Cross, was
provided with 'all the delicacies of
the season.' History will repeat
self."

Plenty of Lunch.
And the people not only came, but
they brought with them many and
divers lunch baskets filled to the brim
with enticing examples of delicious
and wholesome cookery, and there was
no lack thereof. When Superintend
ent Seymour spoke in fond reminisc
ence of that lunch yesterday, all of
his adjectives were in the superlative
degree, and if there is anyone who is
better qualified to pass judgment on
that subject his name is not among
the list of registered voters.
But the lunch, as good as It was,
was not all, for they had a rousing
meeting and many phases of school
life came up for discussion, and there
were so many who wanted to hear
them that the ' pupils had to be dis.
missed in order to make room. J. W.
Yost was chairman of the meeting,
and speeches were made by Hon. G.
W. Meyer, Superintendent Seymour
and others.
Next Meeting at A nt loch.
The next sectional meeting in the
series will be held at Antioch, Satur
day, March 25, at the usual hour of
10:30 a. m., when the following schools
comprising the Mistletoe section, will
be represented: Mistletoe, Antioch,
Sunnyslope, Cochran and Elkins. L.
Chamberlain has been selected to
serve as chairman.
Owing to the demands of work dur
ing the busy spring season, it has been
deemed best to hold the remainder of
the meetings at night, so that as many
as possible may be enabled to attend.
Accordingly, In the following sections,
the sessions will begin at 8 p. m., on
the dates mentioned. State Superin

No more acceptable entertainment
could be provided for the delectation
of the amusement loving portion of
Dallas than the grand band concert
to be given by the Dallas band at Wood
man Hall, Wednesday evening, March
29. Of all the various forms of pub
He entertainment which have claimed
local attention this season, nothing
like it has been presented. In general,
it is modeled after the grand concerts
that are so much in vogue in the large
music centers, and will be a welcome
innovation in this city. A program of
extraordinary excellence has been
prepared, with a view of catering to
the most refined and , varying taste.
The full strength of the entire band of
30 pieces will render some of the most
popular selections of the day, and in
addition there will be numerous solos,
duets, etc., by skillful instrumentalists
and vocalists.
The eye, as well as the ear, will en
joy the pleasures of the performance,
for the feature of the program will be
a spectacular military tableau of sur
passing beauty, in which "Miss Colum
bia" will be depicted amid rich and
appropriate stage settings. This act
will be put on by the members of
Company H, O. N. G., of Dallas, and
they are preparing for it with the irre
sistible enthusiasm that marks all
their public entertainments. At a time
whenthe common topic of conversa
tion is war, and when the least refer
ence to patriotism arouses the pride
and martial spirit of every true Amer
ican, this scene will live long in the
memory of every one who is fortunate
enough to see it.
Reserved seats will be placed on sale
at Stafrin's drug store tomorrow
morning, Wednesday, March 22, and
judging from the inquiries that are be
ing made, there will be a big demand
for them. Notwithstanding the extra
bill and superiority of the perform
ance, the prices will remain as usual
35 and 50 cents.

, PORTLAND, March 18. The re
ceipts for the week have been: Cattle,
2102, calves 211, hogs 1152, sheep
6837, goats 25, horses and mules 29.
The cattle market was steady at last
week's decline. There was not a great
deal of tone to the market, but a
clearance was effected of all the stock
offered for sale.
Most of the hogs that came in were
contract deliveries from the East. The
market for local stuff went off 15
cents. ' , ,
The sheep market was fairly steady.
Supply and prices took an upward
turn. There was a recovery of 15c
to 25c from the former week's line of
values.
There was an active demand for
heavy draft horses. The arrival of a
carload of Idaho horses on Friday,
and the coming of a carload of East
ern draft horses tonight wan, in . a
measure, make up the lack of supply.
There is also en route a shipment of
mules from Missouri.
Arrivals for the first annual Pacific
Northwest livestock show are coming
into the yards, and Indications point
to a splendid exhibition.
The following sales are representa
tive: Steers, 15.75 to $6.40; cows,

night, for the purpose of raising
money to buy uniforms and other
necessary articles for the coming sea
son s games with the other high
school teams of the county. The girls
of the high school were loyal support
ers of the movement, and they not
only worked hard In preparing at
tractive baskets, but they attended
and helped to make the occasion a so
cial success. Financially, the results
were not what they should have been.
for the boys were not as loyal as their
sister pupils, and but a small number
of them were present. Despite the
lack of support on their part, however,
the receipts amounted to $12.26. As
that was not enough for their needs.

TWO YEARS' ILLNESS ENDS
The final contests between the vari
ous teams comprising the Polk County
High School Debating League will ' be
held at the close of this week. All
debates occurring outside of Dallas
will take place Friday evening,' March
24. On account of other attractions
previously advertised for that date In
this city, the local debate will be held
Thursday evening, instead of Friday.
The subject that has been chosen to
form the bone of contention for the
opposing teams is: "Resolved, that the
state should provide free text books
for the public schools.' Both sides
will have ample material for argument
and the decisions' will need to be the
result of close discrimination. All of
the schools that are represented in the
league are looking forward to the
struggle with especial anxiety, for the
casting up of points at its close will
determine their relative standing for
this year.
Dallas and Bethel Tie.
As it now stands, Dallas and Bethel
are tied for first place, and the odds
are in their favor. The winner of the
championship for the year will be
awarded the possession of the Sey
mour cup, the ownership of which re
mains with the League until it shall
have been won twice In succession by
the same school. As Falls City won
it last season, the teams from that
school are naturally going to do some
strenuous work in order to capture it
permanently. They are handicapped,
however, for they tie for second place
with Perrydale, and they will have to
make a hard fight if they succeed In
overcoming the lead of Bethel and
Dallas.
The standing of the schools Is now
as follows, the possible number of
points being eight:
Schools. Points.
Dallas 6
Bethel , 6
Falls City 4
Perrydale 4
Monmouth S
Independence 3
Neutral Judges Required.
One of the requirements of the next
debate is that all judges must be resi
dents of neutral ground and that they
must be otherwise disinterested. Their
selection devolves upon Superintendent
Seymour, and he has been working
overtime In an effort to select a suffl
ficient number of qualified persons.
All visiting teams will have the neg
ative side of the question, while the
stay-at-homes will defend the citadel
on behalf of the afTlarmatlve. The
schedule of debates Is as follows:
At Dallas Bethel, negative, against
Dallas, affirmative, Thursday evening.
At Perrydale Dallas against Perry
dale, Friday evening.
At Independence Perrydale against
Independence, Friday evening.
At Monmouth Independence

At Falls City Monmouth against

WILL EXPLOIT DOUGLAS FIR
Norlliwctrt, Lumbermen Start Annual
Appropriation For AdvertlMing.
EUGENE, March 19ConsIderatlon
of an annual appropriation of $30,000
for a national advertising campaign
exploiting Douglas fir, occupied the
greater part of the attention of the
OregcA-Washlngton Lumber Manufac
turers Association In their monthly
session held here Saturday. The mat
ter was brought before the lumbermen
by a report of the committee on mar
ket extension and discussion of it oc
cupied a greater part of the afternoon.
The report recommended that an
annual appropriation of $30,000 be set
aside and the amount used to advertise
Douglas fir In competition with South
ern yellow pine, it being the opinion
of the committee that the Western
product could be sold on the basis of
quality In the face of a much cheaper
freight rate from the south. The
southern cypress association, which
spends yearly $31,000 In advertising
cypress lumber, was cited as an exam
ple. Five soliciting committees were
appointed to secure funds, and quite a
large amount was subscribed from the
floor.
