Entry of a supplemental order for re-hearing of the California rate case, as a result ,of which Portland lumber men were given equal rates with Wil lamette valley lumbermen to points south of' Marysville, Cal., is asked by the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's association in a petition filed with the interstate commerce commission. The order is to go into effect March 15 having been made by the commis sion in "the interstate commerce case brought by the Inman-Poulsen Lum ber company against the Southern Pa cific company. The Willamette Valley Lumber men's association was not a party to the proceeding but asks a supplement al order or re-hearing because the in terests of its members are affected and because it feels that the commis sion based its order on a misappre hension of fact. The Willamette Valley Lumber men's association interprets' the in terstate commerce commission's or der to recite rates from the Willam ette valley boundary line or Oregon as being the same as from Portland, and declares the commission to be under misapprehension in this regard. The Willamette Valley Lumber men's association . holds that the Mavysville order of the commission instead of equalizing rates for Port land really favors, Portland as com pared with Willamette valley rates to points west of l'orlneuf, Idaho, and so discriminates against Willam ette valley mills.

McMURRAY General Passenger Agent PORTLAND Next week, beginning Monday, Fe'i ruary 19, is rural school week fo the Monmouth Normal. During thi week 120 students of the state schoo. will receive practical experience in school management in as many rurai schools of the five counties of Polk, Marion, Yamhill, Benton and Wash ington. This rural school week, as it is being termed, is an innovation in Normal school instruction. TwentyJour students will be as signed to each county, two to each of twelve schools. The county su perintendents of each county have charge of the assignments and have picked the schools where the teachers are willing to entertain the student visitors for the week. The students will suggest plans to the teachers and will be allowed to try them out in certain studies with the teacher's consent. On Saturday of the week, the twelve schools of each county will hold a sort of union session at cer tain designated points and each coun ty meet is to be addressed by one member of the Normal faculty. It will be a Washington birthday cele bration and the different programs will be appropriate to this end. The Washington county meeting will be at Hillsboro and will be at tended by President Ackerman; Yam hill will meet at Sunnybrook and J. B. V. Butler will be there; E. S. Evenden will attend the Polk county meeting at Elkins; H. C. Ostien will go to Marion county, where the meet ing is to be held at McCleay; and M. S. Pittman will go to Benton county where the meeting is at Mountain View, the place where the rural train ing school for the Normal is to be established next year. This rural school visiting week for Normal students is a new idea, origi nating with Prof. Pittman, and as far s is known this is the first time the idea was ever tried out. The work at Mountain View will relieve the necessity for it next year, but the practical work of the idea this year may yield such results that it will he determined to make the week an annual event. Monmouth Herald. McCall, Former Independence Resi - dent, Shot Wm. A. Shaner. Marcus H. McCall, former barber of Independence, was found guilty of murder shortly after 5 o'clock last Friday evening in Judge Cavanaugh's court at Portland. McCall was the man who killed William A. Shaner, a Portland barber in cold blood on Christmas day. The jury in the case was out just 40 minutes and returned a unanimous verdict of guilty on the first ballot, his insanity defense, in which he claimed he did not know what he was doing nor that his act was wrong, failing to convince them. He will be sentenced today. Fair Board Opens Printing Bids.
