' President II. II. Hordman of tho Oregon State Teavhcra association, ' In his annual address, made a stroiiR appeal to teachers of the Mate and through them, to tho people whoso duty It la to assist them in tho work of broadening tho general view of tho vnst Importance of educational work Advancement, to imblbo tho progress ive Idea and proceed with all possi ble energy nnd sincerity to develop It. "Tho past two decades," said the speaker, "liavo served to work great changes In our national lifo. Social, political, economical and educational Htiitim Iiur undergone such changes as hnvo in many Instances been rev olutionizing. Lifo linn become more nud more complex and our problems are accordingly moro difficult of so lution. Hut thin complexity would not hnvo wrought tho changes had it not boon accompanied by n grad ually changing viewpoint on the part of the peoplo. To my mind, that Hhlftlng viewpoint, moro than nny other element, is responsible for iiutiiy of thn difficulties that con front us as teachers and for much of the progress that our profession has lately mndo." A Combination of linerglcs In a comparison of Oregon with other commonwealths and In a state ment of what wo most need to instil Interest In moro progressive methods, the speaker said: "In ono respect, wo of Oregon have limned behind. Our stnto organiza tion falls far short. It Is not equal to Its opportunities. It nppcars to bo iot even cnpablo of perceiving its opportunities. Nowhere In tho Unit ed States, perhaps, Is thoro a rlchor field for educational endeavor. Wo have the workers. All wo need Is tho Instruments with which to do tho work. "Today will be presented to you a plan of reorganization of tho two dlvlnlons of tho state association. Un derlvlni; this plan is tho central thought of servlco to our common wealth. Wo want to attack tho many educational problems In an intelli gent, comprehensive manner that will Insure permanent results. To do so we niust cast aside tho tools that horved us well In our adolescence and take up others equal to tho Hrnln that our yoars and our size will exert. Still in Short Skliti "Looking back over our many ex periences in this organization, es pecially tlioso of the year Just clos ing, I am struck by tho similarity belueeu this association nud its pres ent organization and a healthy, vig orous, well developed young woman who Ht III wears her hair in braids down her back and Is straining to ho breaking point tho senilis of hor short, one-piece, girlhood frock. "It is high tlmo that wo I uso the term "wo" comprehensively put our hnlr up and, desplto present fash. Ions and advanro press notices of still Breatcr brevity of skirt length, let our skirts down, nt least to our shootout.."

In niisweriug the (itestious, the at torney general mivs it depends upon tho poitiou of the river to which it applies.

"Theiefote, answering your first (itostion, would sav in navigable por tions of the river the shore owner has no right to control the use of the lied of the stream, coveted 'liy water, op posite his laud ii till beyond his pi op arty, hut in the uuuaigable poitiou he has, and the nnvcr would bo 'yes' or 'no,' depending on whether the stream is navigable or uiiuavigahle at the point under consideration, and if the upland owner has purchased tho tide land to low water murk, whether tho point in question is within Mich mark." Answer to .Second Question The nttornoy general then takes up the second question and says: "If in the navigable poitiou of the river, the upland property owner hav ing no title beyond mean high wnter mark, he has no right to proveut the driving of stakes at the water's edge anywheie below such high water mark, unless, of course, he has ae quiied the tide laud abutting Ins property, which extends to mean low water iimik. Dut even then, if the place where the stake is set is below mean low water maik, he has no light to eoutiol the use of the bed of the stieaui at that particular point or any other point below tho boundary to his property, but otherwise if in the bed of tho liver where his own ership extendi, to the t hi cud of the stream. "This is, of course, subjeet to Hie right of the upland owner to wharf out fioui his property to the naviga ble waters in trust for all the people for the putpoMi of iishlug, navigation and eoinuieiee."
