The affair was primarily called for the purpose of putting into motion the work of gathering together an ade quate exhibit of the minerals of Jo sephine county. But because of ths fact that Saturday was the anniver sary of the birth of the immortal Abraham Lincoln, the occasion was turned into a most fitting observance of the day. an address having to do with the life of Lincoln, and more particularly with the teachings of the character of the man, being de livered by John H- Haak. a mining engineer of Portland, who was pres ent. Mr. Haak made a most impres sive talk, finding many a golden nug get as he assayed the character of Lincoln, and told of the wonderful influence of Lincoln upon the charac ter ot the country. The meeting was called to order by President Bramwell of the Cham ber of Commerce, who Introduced O. S. Blanchard, a member of the state bureau of mines and geology, who acted as chairman of the evening. He first Introduced Mr. Haak. who first spoke of Lincoln, following which address Mr. Haak dwelt for some time upon the mining condi tions ot the west, particularly as It affected the production of carom«. He urged the enactment of a tariff upon the importation of chrome ore, as he said the miners of the west could not compete with the negro la bor of Africa and with ore brought in as ballast for ships. To bring the need for this tariff more partic ularly to the minds ot the legislators in congress. Mr. IHaak asked that a (Continued on page 4.) SCHOOL SYSTEM NOT AFFECTED BÏ CHANGE Sacramento, Cktl.. Feb. 14.—(A. P.)—The school system of Califor nia. governed as it is by special laws, would not be greatly affected by Gov ernor W. D. Stephens' plan for reor ganization of the state government. When the governor caused his bills covering the proposed reorganization to be introduced before the legisla ture for consideration at the pend ing session, he included only one brief act relating to education. This, he explained by message, was be cause some ot the officers concerned are elective and constitutional, and their duties could neither be abolish ed nor greatly changed without oon- fllot with the basic law. A department of education would be created and the office of director of education would be authorized. The state superintendent of public Instruction—an elective officer— would be director. There would be two divisions of the department. That of text books, certification, and trust funds would discharge the duties indicated by its title. The division of normal and special schools would take charge of the affairs of the several state nor mal schools, the polytechnic school, and the California school for the deaf and blind. The state board of education would be vested with the powers now exercised by the special boards for all those schools, and such special boards would be abol ished.
