The work commenced on "September 19 and was stopped about the middle of October. x FOR LONQER TERMS, Superintendent Ackerman Favors Change In Present Law. Salem That the apportionment of public school funds should be made upon the basis of the number of teach ers employed, and not upon the num ber of children In the district, la one of tba moat Important recommenda tions in the biennial report of Super intendent or Publio instruction J. H. Ackerman, which was made public to day, Tliis very radical cliangejn the plan of distribution is auggealed aa a meana of enabling the sparsely eet tied district to employ aa efficient a teacher and have aa many months of school during the year aa the larger and more favored district. This priv ilege, Superintendent Arkermsn says, is one 'to which the smaller district ia entitled, California has such a law. Among other recommendations made in the report are: That the minimum length of the school year be increased from three to five months; that the levy fur school purpose be increased from $0 to $8 per capita; that the inheritance taxea be turned into the irreducible school fund, and that a part or the whole of the cor poration tax be turned into the com mon school fund to be expended each year for school purposes. In connec tion with the recommendation regard ing the length of the school year, SuHrintemlent Ackerman says there aro too many districts satisfied to maintain school only the minimum number of months required by law. "Hiere ia no reason why a child in a small, isolated district ia not en titled to aa many montha of school as ia the child in more favorably situated district," said he. "Mere location should not be the test of the number of months' schooling to which a child is entitled." The suggestion that the rate of levy be increased ia founded upon the need of more funds in order that longer terms of school may be maintained. PORTLAND MARKETS.

While nothlnt of an official nature has been allowed to leak out, It Is nevertheless a fact that Prealdent Roosevelt and the 8tat Department are deeply concerned over the growing anti-American aantlment that has apparently taken deep root In Japan. Private advices and confi dential telegrams to the State Depart ment confirm press reports telling of the unfriendly attitude of the Japaneae and add to the uneaatnesa of adminis tration officials. It can be stated on authority that the administration la anxloua to avoid a rupture with Japan. The East ap pears to be In entire sympathy with thla view, but In the Weat a different sentiment prevails, and It la the en mity of the people or the weat that la largely responsible for the present del icate situation. The Japanese have come to the con clusion that tbelr people are not more welcome In the United States than are the Chinese, and while no bar baa yet been' raised against them, they fully expect that In the near future the Chi nese exclualon act will be extended to cover all subjects of the Mikado. If such a move la made by the American congress, It will certainly give affront to Japan, and serious consequences would most certainly follow. The people of the East do not look upon the Japanese with that same contempt that la ahown west of the Rocky Mountains. In thla part of the country the Japanese are viewed sen timentally; they are known principally for tbelr deeda In war and for their recent defeat of the great Russian army and navy. In the West tha Japanese are viewed from a practical standpoint, for there they are known Intimately. The difference la that the West la flooded with Japanese labor era; In the East there are none. The East judgee the Japanese by the few people of that race who live here. They are principally diplomats or stu dents; citizens of the highest type. There are no Japanese laborers In the East. On the other hand, the Pa cific Coast and the Rocky Mountain region knows little of the Japanese diplomat, but baa an Intimate knowl edge of the Japanese laborer, and he Is a very different type of man. The East, knowing nothing of the Japanese labor problem, is at a loss to understand the unfriendly attitude taken by the people of the West, and If the Western contingent In congress attempts to extend the Chinese exclu sion law to embrace the Japanese, the issue will meat with determined oppo sition from thla end of the country, The further fact that the administra tion la anxloua to preserve friendly re latione with Japan will be another creat obstacle In the way of the ad. vocatea of Japanese exclusion, and the fight, once begun, will be vigorous and protracted. The bulk of Japaneae In thla country .being confined to the Western states, It la natural that the current opinion in Japan ehould reflect the sentiment of the Japanese hordes In this country. The Japanese laborers, being made aware of the unfriendliness of the white laborers In the West, as well as the unfriendliness of the employers of labor, very naturally conclude that thla sentiment Is general throughout the United States, and having reached thla conclusion. It Is to be expected that their vlewa would reach their home country. Their -animosity crops out at frequent Intervals, notwlth standing the efforts of the Japanese government to keep It down. Thst the Japanese ara in an nglv mood Is manlfaat by their readiness to make much out of little incidents that occur in the United State. Only a few daya ago Asahl Kitagakl, the only Japanese midshipman at the Annapo lis Naval Academy, voluntarily resign' ed because he was deficient in his studies and unable to keep up with his class. He took this action on the ad vice of the Japanese Embassy In this city. Any other midshipman wbuld have been dropped without the privi lege of resigning. It waa promptly announced that no other Japanese would be appointed to the vacancy, and Immediately the report was spread that the United Statea government was displaying discourtesy to the Jap anese government, when, as a matter of fact, the announcement was made Id accordance with a recent act of con gress, which stipulated that no more forelgnera ahould be admitted to the Naval Academy. The incident stirred the Japanese In the United States and caused another ripple at home. In like manner the Japanese took offense because John D. Rockefeller made aome caustic remarks on the treachery of the Japanese In business. ALBERT DAMS Livery and FeedStable Our Livery Stock is Flrtt-Clase. Bestattentloa to boarding Stock.
