DEAF
MUTE
SCHOOL
Is
Ordered to Be Removed
From the Farm Site
The most just act of this session if
it bocomo an act is the adoption of
tho roport ol tho joint committoo,
composed of Graham, Capron and Car
tor, in favor of removing tho deaf mute
school from tho farm site six miles in
tho country to a new sito in this city.
That locntion was tho result of a
real estate deal about ton years ago,
by which several hundred acres of land
was sold to tho stato ostensibly for a
denf nui to school site.
Under that deal tho education of tho
deaf mute children has been carried
on under great difficulty, nnd to the
great loss nnd detriment of the children.
Tho wnys and means' committeo is
said to bo preparing u bill to enrry
into effect the recommendations of
tho committee. It would be a most
just and humauo.net.

as tho witnesses wero coming from

there would be nothing for it to do
until-that time. Tho jury had boon
called on tho cuso, nnd a portion of tho

A vote was takon on adjournment,

Tho Orogonlan says that tho Jayno

present form. Among othor thlugs
that inclines to tho beliof that tho law,
which was rejected by all six coun

tion will not pass tho sonato is tho
fnct that Mr. U'ltou, tho father of tho
Initiative and roforondum system of dl

posed to any amondmontu of tho local

so tho author of tho direct primary law
which was adopted under tho Inltiatlvo
