A party of our young people took a spin in an auto, Sunday and got caught in a rain storm. It was awe inspiring to see the "splash" as they came "chug ging" into town in their "trouble cart" but they said they enjoyed it as it was out of the ordinary. Work was begun Wednesday on a new switch which will start at the grain warehouse and finish near Mrs. Whitney's. The switch will be 650 feet long and will run on the west side of the depot, thus enabling a man to load a car without having it moved every time a train comes in. A wreck occured on the S. P. at this place yesterday monvng as the Dallas freight was switch ing. A furniture car loaded with lumber jumped the track and broke one wheel and some cast ings. A special official train was stalled here while the car was being got into shape to travel again. The store of Peter Cook, in Rickreall, was robbed of about $75 worth of cutlery and small goods Monday night The post office was also entered the same night, but only a few dollars worth of stamps were taken.

This sum will be divided equally among the three and $50,000 each is set aside as a building fund for dormitories. This is a very liberal appropria tion and it is hoped the legisla ture will ratify it without ques tion. We believe that the leg islature will accept the recom mendations of the Beard as con servative and final and will not begin the old fight over, notwith standing the fact that Mr. Ayer and Mr. Spence are a minority against the .other five. A little investigation into the necessary requirments of a Normal school will, or ought to, convince any one that a central school is im possible and the state outside of Portland will not stand for the Normals to be done away with and a new one established in that city. As they stand now the Normals are divided amon? the three great natural divisions of this state and they should not be disturbed in any way. With the present liberal appropriation for the coming two years it should not be necessary for an appro priation of more than half that amount for the next bennial term.
