CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.
Consolidation of school districts
now being effected In many counties
of tho state under tho new school law,
will probably bo undertaken by sever
al districts In Jackson cdunty. There
Is movement under way to consolidate
the throo districts In Sams Valley into
orio district and to put In a graded
sohool. The proposition is being dis
cussed of Joining to tho Talent dis
trict No. 8, lying to the east of Talent
and the Wagner Creek and Anderson
Ctaric district that He to the west of
TfllttnL Talent now has one of tho
beat graded schools In the county and
the three adjoining districts, being
unable to maintain the advanced
grade In their school, are anxious to
seouru tha-beneflts of the Talent
Hohool,
The farmers are learning that the
ftystem under whloh the rural districts
havo been conducted Is both expen
sive nnd lacking in the thoroughness
that a school should havo A throe
month term and twenty-live classes
for a dozen scholars glvo no practical
results in the way of oducatlng the
fanner boys and girls, and, as this Is
an ago of brains, In whloh the Ignor
ant havo no chnnco for sticcoes. the
farmer who denlroB that his children
shall havo nn education Is compelled
to send them away from home. The
consolidated district gives to the coun
try sohotars the same oduoational ad
vantages thnt those of the city enjoy
nnd It brings a decrease In expense to
the taxpayer and tho retention of the
home ixlluenco to the children. The
day pf the small district and tho un
graded school Is rapidly passing, and
In Its place Is coming the large dis
trict and the graded, fully equipped
sdhool. In charge of able and pro
gressive teachers.
THE POWER OF GRAFT.
Municipal house cleaning In differ
ent parte of the country discloses the
fnot that too many city legislatures
and department heads have yielded
to the power of graft. Kecont roveln
tleiM have shown deplorable rotten
tiMM among officials, and it would
seem that only a beginning has been
made.
It ha lotig been accepted as a fact
that while Tammany rules New York
lo4llHf and bribery will be the m
epjeuetie features of municipal admin
talnutoH. It ha been generally ad
mitted that no TuminuRy pqHUcImh

and, judged by the willingness of
New York peopto to retain Tammany

FORECAST FOR NEXT ELECTION.
General Grosvenor, the vetoran
Ohio congressman, Is not bapply un
less he U figuring on election results.
And tho strange part about the mat
ter Is that the Oh loan Is seldom far
out of the way. The other day, dur-'
lng a debate In the house, the general
becomed Involved la a controversy
over politics, during which he gave
out his prediction regarding the re
sult of the election next year. The
total number of electoral votes In 1904
will bo 47(5, so that 280 are necessary
to a choice. Of these Mr. Grosvenor
conceded as surely Democratic only
151 the votes of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis
souri, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia; In
other words, the solid South, with
Maryland not included in it, but Ken
tucky counted in. As sure Republican
states, Mr. Grosvenor sots down the
follewing:
California 10
Colorado 5
Connecticut .. 7
Illinois 27
Indiana A ;.-.;.... '15
Iowa 13
Kansas 10
Maine C
Massachusetts ... ifi
Michigan .' 14
Minnesota - .."." 11
Nebraska 8
New Hampshire 4
New Jersey 12
North Dakota .'. 4
Ohio 23
Oregon 4
Pennsylvania 24
Rhode Island '.... 4
South Dakota '4
Vermont 4
Washington S
West Virginia 7
Wisconsin 13
Wyoming ' 3
Total 263
This leaves the following in the
doubtful list:
Delaware 3
Idaho 3
Maryland 8
Montana , 3
Nevada 3
New York 30
Utah 3
Total C2
A study of these figures show that
to win tho Democrats must not only
carry all of the states conceded to
the Domocrats, all of those placed in
the doubtful list, but as well get' 26
of those votes classed by General
Grosvenor as surely Republican
surely not a pleasant prospect for the
leaders of the present minority party.
It Is certain that Dry an could not
carry a single one of these states
classed as Republican, and It Is Just
as oertaln that of those spoken of as
doubtful he would not get a dozen
votes. Unless there Is a mighty up
heaval before next November It will
be seen that "Okl Figgers" Is very
conservative In his election predlc
tlons. Land Board Meets.
The state land board yesterday af
ternoon met and decided the swamp
land contest lietween Senator Mara
tsrs and others on the one side and
J. W. Iiamaker and others on the oth
er. About 11.000 acres were Involved
in the transaction, and the state board
decided to advertise the lands in con
troversy, and sell it to the highest
bidder, thus giving both contestants
an equal show at securing the proper
ty; in the case of the lands not being
contested the board fixed the price at
1.00 per acre,
The land board, during the month
of November, received $il.M8.S$ on
aecount of the several funds In the
bauds of the board.

term of service there have come many
kicks, there have also been many
words of commendation and encour
agement, that have lightened the bur
den of the work somewhat.
"I now wish to explain why I re
signed as mayor of Salem
I did not
resign because I wanted to move
away. I want to live In Salem, and to
have a house In this town that will
cost $10,000, and, If I have my health,
I will have a residence of that kind. I
did not resign on account of the load
tho Independent municipal govern,
mont of tho greater city would bring
me. Nevor In tho history of the town
has there boon a need of a moro care
ful business organization than thore
Is now."
