Affil- Men Placed on Board Have No iation With State School*. Salem—Governor Chamberlain has named the members c f the new board of regents who will have control o f all state normal schools. <The regents are C. E. Spence, of Car us, Clackamas county, to serve one year: E. Hofer, of Salem, two years; E. FT. Bragg, of La Grande, three vears; W . B. Ayer, of Portland, Four years; Henry J. M aier, of The Dalles, five years; Stephen Jew ell, of Grants Pass, six years. Not one of these men live in a normal school town, or lias any connection w ith a normal school. It is evident that in making the appointments the governor studiously avoided appointing men who might by past associations, geographical location oi political interests, be pre judiced lor or against any one oi the lour normals. Not one o i tlie men is interested particularly in either the Unitersity of Oregon, tlie Agricultural college, or any other etate institution. This fact w ill leave them more free to handle the normal school problem free from other influence. Spence is a farmer, a Democrat and a member of the executive com mittee of the State Grange. Hofer is editor of the Capital Journal and a Republican. Bragg is county superintendent of Union county and a Democrat. A yer is a lumber manufacturer and a Republican. .Maier is a'm erchant and a Democrat. Jewell is county judge of Josephine county and a Democrat. The state-board of education, com posed of the governor, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruc tion, are ex-oflicio members of the board of regents. Am ong educational workers in attend ance at the session of the State Teach ers’ association, it waB generally re marked tliat the governor has selected a strong board that w ill be free to man age tlie normal schools with a view to the best interests of the state. Albany— That net more than 5 per cent of the sportsmen of Oregon know that the open season for deer begins this year July 15, is tlie opinion of local hunter. The fact that the last legislature changed the deer season has not become known at all in this part of the etate and men who always begin deer hunting as soon as the season opens are making no plans to go into the mountains until next month. According to the new law, tlie open season ior buck deer is from July 15 to November 1. It was formerly from August 15 to November 1. The season for female deer remains tiie same under the new law as it was under the old from September 1 to November 1 ’rtieee changes in the deer season are embixlied in house b ill 151, which is recorded on page 341 of the 1907 seg sion lawe. Another change in the deer law is that it is now a misdemeanor to k ill dogs chasing deer. It was form erly illegal to hunt deer with dogs and that provision is also contained in the new law. Under the old law many dogs caught chasing deer were shot and killed and the new provision was in- serte»l in order to protect owners of val uable dogs, which would break loose and chase deer without tlie knowledge of their owners.

He was form erly a merchant of lying Creek and Galena, Or., but was out of business for a few years. He predicts a very prosperous future for this distrtict, with the ad vent of the railroad. Clackamas Land Booming Ort'gon C ity— The large inerease»l fees of the recorder’ s office in Clackamas county is a good indication of the healthy growth in the real estate bnsi- nes*.

R ockefel ler, president of the Standard O il com pany, of New Jersey, occupied the wit- ness stand in the United States District court Saturday, w h ile Judge Landis plied him w ith questions regarding the financial strength and the business methods of the corporation of which he is the head. M r. Rockefeller was a vety w illin g and an unsatisfactory wituees. H e was ready to te ll all that he knew, but he said that he knew practically nothing. The net result o f his examination was that he believed during the years 1903, 1904 and 1905, the peiiod covered by the indictments on which the Standard O il company of Indiana was recently convicted, the net profits of tlie Stand ard O il company of N ew Jersey were approxim ately 40 per cent on an out standing capitalization of $100,000,000. T lie investigation by Judge Landis was instituted by him for the express purpose of determ ining whether or not the Standard O il company of Indiuna, which waa convicted of violation of the law, was really owned by the Standard O il company of New Jersey, w hether the Union Tank L in e company, whose cars were used for the shipmenis. mude in violation of law, were sim ilarly ow n ed, and also to obtain an idea of the fi nancial resources of the convicted cor poration in order to inflict a fine pro portionate to the offense and the assets of the convicted company. I t was stated by otficeis of the Stand ard O il company ol New Jersey that it owned the greater part of the stock of both the Union Tank L ine company and Standard O il company of Indiana. Specific figures as to the earnings of the parent corporation were given by Charles M . Pratt, its secretary, and they were close to the estimate given by M r. Rockefeller. S . P.

Klam ath Falls— The positive an nouncement lias at last lieen marie that the work being done at Spencer’ s on Klam ath river is the begitnJng f a large power plant which the Southern Pacific company w ill complete in the course of a few years. The operations of the workmen engaged on the plant have been rather mysterious and em ployes who have worked there for six months or more did not know what they were working at or for whom. Buy Land for Weston Brick . Weston — The proprietors o f the Westn brickyard have purchased of James D. Gish his addition to Weston, consisting of nearly 10 acres in the low er part of the city. Before making the purchase the brickyard people quietly demonstrated that the soil was well adapted to the making of a superior quality of brick. The price paid was $ 2 , 000 .
