ALL MOUtnn uum Asks for Appropriation For New Buildings The Amount Aorroorlattd By State it Inadequate To The Present Needs. The Oregon State Normal School has piep.red and had printed a rrt covering the past two year, and making recommendation, a. to its needs. The report auk" for. an appropriation for the erection of a manual training building and a dormitory. A to the need, of these building, the ' report .ay.: "Monmouth is the only State educational institution in Oregon not provided with a dormitory. .The estim.te of the coit of a suit able dormitory, built of brick and flitted up with modem conven iences, capable of accommodating fiftv lH1nli. are from 1S.000 lo The total coat to the Stale of the Monmouth ichoo baa been $16,000 eo if the Legislature should appro priate f 50.000 for the erection of theee two buildings, it would be but a small re-nnition of an in stitution which ban graduated 716 teachers and done so much for the educational interest, of Oregon. As shown in the tables, the an nual appropriation by the State for maintenance is less than one half the amount received by the state normal schools of Washington and Montana. .The amount is inade quate to the present need, of the school, not to say prohibitive of any advance. In fact, the adoption' of the four years' course already necessitates the employment of two additionalinstructois.

O'Brien, Roadmaster Donnell, Reeident Engineer Donald, Mr. Newfll, division fnjrinwr, Mr. Cnffman and Mr. Bollins of the O. R. & N. division. The lnspec- end of tors traveled by special train and priVHte mrs and were piloted through by Conductor Minkler, whoe reeular ran is on the Over land on the east side. Bert Lucas wa in charge of the engine, and Mr. Down, a former football coach, acted aa brakesman. The trip was mad1) br way of Dallas, Monmouth and Independence and the party went no farther south thsn here, leaving Airlie and Cor vallis out this trip. Considerable time was spent by the officials in Independence, giv ing them time to dine in their pri vate car and take a cursory view of the surrounding country as well as inspecting the net work of switches and side tracks at the depot. "In dependence is getting to be quite a center," remarked one of the of ficials as be observed car after, -car loaded with valuable timber and other freight standing on the side tracks, saw two car loads of pas sengers alighting from the I. 4 M. moter line, the northbound regular Southern Pacific pulling in and at the same time listened to the blast of a river steamer. : From Dallas to Monmouth, the Southern Pacific track is somewhat rough and another . official . complin mented the I. & M. track , between Moninouth and Independence with the remark that it was a better road than the Southern' Pacific. , While here the railroad officials took; action that will be appreciated by patrons of the Southern Pacific station at this placed They de cided to extend the granite walk from the station along the west side ot the track one block north. At present it is impossible . to ap proach and depart from the depot while the train is in without tak ing to the mud. The train extend be low the crosswalk used by pedes-' trians going to and coming from the station, and in going around the train the lady or foot-man is obliged to walk in the street used for teaming purposes. Mr. H lelds, hia engineer and roadmaBter saw at a glance the need of better facilities for pedestrians. Extension ot the granite walk a block north was suggested and that they decided to have. They expect to have it done within two or three weeks. The party left here following the that the company bos instructed him to extend the free switching iu Pelk county.
