OREGON SCHOOL FOR DEAF THE BEST III THE WEST The Oregon School for Deaf is very favorably situated near, the northern limits of the city, and on the Oregon Electric. The buildings are new, hav- I mm wvuiiimi tegs man two years ana are thoroughly modern and con veniently planned on the modified cot tage system,' and are located on a tract Of abOUt flftV Sri-Pa nf Innit . ceptionallywell adapted to gardening and dairying. Over ninety thousand dollars has been expended on the present plant, and while much finish ing work remains to be done, the ma terial eGseutlals have been provided for a- thoroughly first-class modern school. The legal name for the institution is the Oregon School for Deaf-Mutes, but in accordance with the practice ana terminology throughout the coun try the word "mutes" is usually omit ted. A great many deaf retain or are taught and acquire speech In varying SCEV OLMOTT IS Bra ! SHOWING OF" THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF WORK OF THE OF. FICE IS A I1EZ YELATIOX IS HAN DLED BY UP-TO-DATE METII 0IS. The office of secretary of state is the great business office of the state government, anJ an unfailing baro meter of the growth and development of the slate In -all Its varied avenues of activity. Indeed, It Is now generally conceded that x account of its wide ramifications, w lich bring It in touch with all of the people of the state, the office of sect retary of state is now the most lmpor tant of all the state offices to the taxpayer. The consti tution of the state makes the secre tary the auditor of all state accounts, and this is oner ol the most arduous and responsible duties devolving by law upon, this r iflclal ; also supplying one of the best, and most conclusive evidences of thera growth of the state, For the biennial period of 1899-1900 the total appropriations by the legis lature were 1,389,044.25. For the 1911-1912 blenn Jal period the amount carried by the SB-pproprlation bills was $5,087,595.28-ewerj dollar of which Is to be disbursed by warrants drawn by this office rafter, the claims have been duly examined, audited and ap proved by the ss-ecretary of state. The magnitude of aLadltlng the claims cov red by these hajge appropriations will be appreciated -when it is known that the number of claims has grown from W.612 in 1899-BL900 to 17,842 In 1909 1910, and that -vers the same system rfMf ,r - v..V,.

It is signifi cant also, that for 1911 the total num ber of. claims will be about 13,500. wraich Is equivalent to an Increase of 66 per cent over 1909-19 10, and only about 4000 less than for the entire two years preceding. rrlor to Wi corporations paiu u fMn to the state except small ruing and recording fe-es.

Also it Is made the duty of the secretary of t,tate to edit the official pamphlet ana prior to the primaries send to each registered voter In the state a copy of the said voter's party pamph let. Prior to the general election, the secretary must prepare a campaign book containing copies of all bills re ferred to the people, and this book must be mailed to each voter at his postofflce address, making a total of from 125,000 to 150,000 pieces of mall matter. To handle the vast volume of work required of this office within the dates and times specified by Jaw, it has been found necessary to adopt modern business methods and intro duce labor-saving devices in many de partments. For Instance, there has just been Installed a machine for pho tographing the records of the corpor ation department, which will cut the cost of this work to one-third the expense of recording with a type writer. This is the first machine of Its. kind In use at any state capitol In the country, but the device is quite generally used by the national gov ernment at Washington. Another in novation made necessary by the in crease In population and the conse- auent Increase In the work or sending out 1912 election matter, is the Instal lation of the rapid addressing ma chine, which will greatly facilitate the work of mailing pamphlets to vot ers and reduce the cost to a very, small percentage of what it has been In the past. This machine is used by the federal government and by many of the larger newspapers and period icals. In addition to his other troubles the secretary of state is required to han dle the sales of session laws, codes and supreme court reports, compile the senate and house journals and an swer an average of about 200 letters per dav, dealing with every conceiv able subject,, and coming from every nook and corner of the United States and even from Canada and foreign countries. "While this Is a very Incomplete out line of the duties devolving upon the .or-rotarv of state, it will give some slight Indication of the enormous j nt the state in the past few years. In this connection it may not be out of place to mention the fact that the number of employes in this office has grown in the past eleven years from eisht to ;wonty-two, and ncludes at the present time such men .1 o. a Kmer. denuty secretary, rho came to Salem with Secretary K.

CARDUI WORKED LIKEA CHARM After Operation Failed to Help, Cardui Worked Like a Charm. Jonesvllle, S. C ''I suffered with womanly trouble," writes Mrs. J. 8. Kendrlck, In a letter from this place, "and at times, I could not bear to stand on my feet The doctor said I would never be any better, and that I would have to have an operation, or I would have a cancer. I went to the hospital," and they oper ated on me, but I got no better. They said medicines would do me no good, and I thought I would have to die. At last I tried Cardui, and began to Improve, so I continued using It. Now, I am well, and can do my own work. I don't feel any pains. Cardui worked like a charm." There must be merit In this purely vegetable, tonic remedy, for women Cardui for It has been In successful use for more than B0 years, for the treatment of womanly weakness and disease.

The plan of centralised buying through the state I'uimaaiiiK ooara is saving from 6 to 20 per cent on the price of most staple supplies. The location of the school directly on the Oregon Electric is a factor in this saving, as the cost of freight drayage is largely eliminated. n iiiiisirauve or the economies ef rected the following comparison of contract prices in December. 1910. un der the old system, and contract prices June, 1911. under the new plan, is given, the articles named being select ed i ranuom: Price under Price nnder Article. old system, new system. vaney tiour. bbl... 4.50 $3.61) uran, ton 26.00 Kolled oats, lb.

Of these the great majority are feeble minded. For this reason also the deaf prefer being called and classified ns deaf rather than to be called "mutes." The past year has been a very suc cessful and prosperous one for the school. The attendance has increased about twenty per cent and the enroll ment will probably reach 100 by the end .of the term. Many material Improvements have been largely or wholly completed. Among these are putting down about 8000 square fuet of cement walks, 1200 feet cement curb, excavating and grav eling road way, clearing of brush and tile draining about thirty acres of choice land, particularly adapted for gardening purposes, construction of a modern dairy barn with cement floors, and patented steel stall, stanchion and manager, as adopted by twenty-five ag ricultural colleges; also concrete silo, completing additional dormitory space for' forty pupils, completing outside construction of a brick isolation hos pital, remodeling old frame building providing gymnasium 46x60 feet with 18-foot 'celling, and two other floors of corresponding size for . shop pur poses, and extending fair grounds sewer nearly a mile to the river with t J I ,a' ; i RiiskHmill Tram. 15-inch cement pipe, providing san itary sewerage and drainage on t lot. Much finishing work remains to be done In the way of fencing, road mak ing, planting trees arid shrubbery, etc. Hut this can be accomplished at low cost under the present "honor" sys tem of convict labor. This has been in operation at the school only since August, but has materially reduced the cost of the work outlined above for which the total appropriations available were $17,00.00, of which there remains a balance of about $1000. Twenty-three honor men In all, from ten to fifteen at a time, have been employed at the school for nearly five months. Bo far there has been no escape, no attempted escaiie, no seri ous trouble of any kind. On the whole the men have won well-merited praise from those directly in charge of them and kept their records clean. Of course in dealing with men of this character mistakes are likely to b made under the most careful proceed ure, but unquestionably it offers great possibilities for the betterment of the state Institutions at low cost, and the practical results so far attained have been highly satisfactory to the man agement of the school, and there can be little doubt that the "honor" con victs have been beneflted.also. The school has also profited prob- of the school is 145,000. There are twenty-four persons on the payroll of the Institution, including cooks, do mestics, farmer, teamster, engineer, and nlghtwatchmaji. The careful finan cial management Is Indicated - in ' the fact that there has been no deficiency for the legislature to make good tn the last five years. . , , ,,, ,, o YE LIBERTY v WILL TREAT THE CHILDREN On Monday aftrnoon at 2 o'clock Ye Liberty theater will give all the children Id tbeclty a free matinee entertainment, with popcorn crisps as a New.

Last month the av erage mean temperature w 46 de grees shove zero, and, with but anoth er day to go this month, the average mean temperature is only degrees colder. Our coldest day this year was the 4th of December, when the mer cury registered SI. F.ven on this date the low mark was made by a rather sudden drop, and remained down but for a short time. The average maxi mum temperature for December has been 37.97. while the minimum is 46.2. Sixteen days bls month have been without one one-hundredth of one Inch of rain, while In the preceding month the days were evenly divided between sunshine and showers, rain fulling ' during parts of 15 days, the other 15 being absolutely free from rain. Ijist month the total rnlnfall waa but 1.97 Inches. This month about 2 Si Inches have been registered, and nearly hulf of this amount fell on two stormy days. Several of these days., when tra dition would have it raining pitch forks, the sky was absolutely clear and the sun shone down as it does on a June day. CASTOR I A lor Infants and Children.

The majority of these past due accounts can and should be redeemed from the Iohs side of the ledger. Suppose every merchant carried over his unliable goods for Ave to 10 years as they now carry their slow and doubtful accounts, what a nice mess of unsalable stuff they would accumulate and what a Iohs they would sustain. No up-to-date merchant would think of siu-Ji folly but many ottliosn same mrcbnnts will carry their old accounts for years and finally h t them become outlawed. Bad accounts should be disposed of in the same way as unsalable goods. Thousands of dollars are lost each year to business men who contlnuw to carry these accounts on their led gers.
