OREGON SCHOOL FOR

The Oregon School for Deaf is very
favorably situated near, the northern

Electric. The buildings are new, hav-

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

for a- thoroughly first-class modern
school.
The legal name for the institution
is the Oregon School for Deaf-Mutes,

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

also compile the votes cast for all
state and district officers, receive and

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

CARDUI WORKED

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."

present state administration. The plan
of centralised buying through the state

20 per cent on the price of most staple

degrees, and reference, to - them as
"mutes" is extremely dlBtasteful On
the other hand, there is a consider
able number - of persons who' are
"mutes," being dumb but not deaf. 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

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.
