Several Good Laws Were Passed at Recent Legislative Session. I Salem The following is a svnoDsis of the changes made in the school laws by the last legislature : livery district in the state must maintain at least six months of school each year.. A county court of each county must levy a tax for school pur poses that will produce an amount which will aggregate at least $7 for each child of school age. If a district's share of this sum does not amount to $300 (six months at $50 per month), then the county court must levy upon the property of such district a special tax large enough to produce the differ ence; provided that such special tax levy does not exceed a 5-mill tax. If the district's share of the county school fund and the amount raised by a 5-mill tax does not amount to $300, then the county court must transfer from the general county fund to the special fund of such district an amount that will equal the difference. The apportionment to each district is made $100 instead of $50 before the per capita distribution is made. Another change provides that a county at any general election may vote upon the question of creating a county high school fund. When such fund has been created it is placed under the control of a county high school board, consisting of members of the County court, the county treasurer at any general election may vote upon the question of creating a county high school fund. When such fund has been created it is placed under the control of a county high school board, consist ing of members and the county school superintendent County superintendents are given authority to make a partial apportion ment of the money to any district upon the request of the board of directors of such district. Secret societies, including fraterni ties and sororities, which may now or hereafter exist in any of the public schools of the state, including high schools, are declared unlawful. The governor shall appoint by the first Monday in July, 1909, a board of five members, called the Board of Higher Curricula. , The members shall serve without pay, excepting traveling expenses. The duty or tne ooara snau be to determine what courses ol studies of departments shall not be duplicated in the higher educational institutions of Oregon. It shall be the duty of each institution to conform thereto, Any changes that are made shall be come effective at the beginning of the school year following such determina tion. The outside doors and other exits of all school buildings shall be so swung and hineed that they shall open out ward. Low Rates Inaugurated. Portland In view of the fact that Portland and Seattle, the two principal cities of the Northwest" are to hold notable celebrations the coming sum mer, the various trans-continental rail roads with terminals in the V acihe Northwest have conceded extremely low excursion rates from all points the East and Middle West Portland will hold its third grand annual rose festival the week of June 7-12, while Seattle will be hostess for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, continuing all summer. The rates which the rail roads have given are much more at tractive than any that have been put into effect in any previous year, so far as this part of the country is concerned, and they permit of a much wider range of stop-overs and side trips, all of which is appreciated by tne rouriBi. many communities and individuals in the Northwest have taken advantage, of this and have notified their friends and relatives in the East to make the trip this summer and to do so early in tne season so as to be able to visit the ex- ivwitinns at both Portland and beanie, The rates are effective May 20, plenty oariv onmio-h for Easterners to avail ftiomoAivPH of tne nne ouDoriumiy tu oinr th whole Northwest at its best Th rates are good returning unm September 30. Even NORMALS ORDERED CLOSED Be Title of State School Will Taken Away by Regents. Salem At a meeting of the normal board of regents it was voted to close all state normal schools at once unless maintained by private subscription, and then only until the end of the pres ent half year. Hereafter the schools will be permitted to run as local public schools or as private normals, but will not be permitted to pose as state nor mals. This means the closing or Ash land, Weston and Monmouth normals at the end of this year, as all have se cured funds to carry them to the latter part of June. In discussing the situation the mem bers of the board agreed that since the 1907 legislature prohibited the board from incurring any debt and the 1909 legislature failed to make an appro priation, the board has no right to con tinue the normals, thereby laying the foundation for a claim for reimburse ment The board will even refuse to permit the schools to run as state nor mals by private subscription after the end of this school year, for the reason that it is the desire to carry out to the letter the legislature's idea ef closing all the normals. This will leave the field clear for the. legislature of 1911 to settle the normal problem. Ten Unions in Umatilla. Pendleton Ten local organizations of the Farmers' Educational & Co operative union of America have been formed in this county and the number will probably be increased to 15 within the next few days. The two latest ad ditions are at Pilot Rock and Holdman. Some of the sheepmen went in with the farmers at Pilot Rock and there is talk of erecting a joint warehouse, which shall be used for the storing of both wheat and wool. No definite ac tion was taken on the proposition, how ever. I hww TO BUILD RURAL I . Want a Telephone? If you do you can get it. If you are anxious to get into closer touch with your friends, with the family doctor, with the store, with the post office, or with the cotton buyer, you can do it with a telephone at hand. If you want to make the farm a more livable place, if you want to protect your home, you can do it by installing a telephone. If you will cut out this advertisement, write your name and address on the margin and mall it to-day to our nearest house, we will send you at once a copy of our Free Bulletin No. 112 on "How to Build Rural Telephone Lines" This Bulletin explains clearly how a rural telephone system is built and operated, and it also contains full information as to costs. In a Farmer's Mutual Company a few day's labor and a cash Investment of about $25. per subscriber; will purchase all material and build an absolutely standard system. A Rural Telephone Is an investment, not an expense. The telephone which enables you to sell ten bales of cotton at Y cent per pound more than the traveling buyer offers you, has paid for its en tire cost. If you have some hay down all ready to go in, it is worth something to have a telephone with which to call on Neighbor Smith "for a lift" before the storm breaks. The Rural Telephone pays for itself each year and we have brought the initial cost within the reach of every farmer. Present prices are especially favorable and thousands of Farmers' Mutual Com panies are now organizing so as to build their lines this Spring. Write us to-day.

This section Cows Make Good Returns. Brownsville Harry Parks, a farmer of this vicinity, has given a statement of the net returns from his nine cows for the past year. The total is $660 or an average of $73.33 each. Browns ville is becoming one of the largest dairy sections of the state. A num ber of the farmers have large silos and put up hundreds of tons of cut corn, vetch and clover for ensilage. It is claimed that ensilage prepared in this way is the best milk producing food, also the cheapest. - Ditch Break Floods Echo. Pendleton Echo was flooded with water as a result of a break in the gov ernment ditch at that point. The break occurred just above the depot and the water rushed down the hill at a tre mendous speed. After the water was shut off at the intake, one mile and a half distant, water flowing at the rate of 80 second feet had yet to find its way into the streets. A large portion of the town was protected by the railroad grade, which turned the flood. Fruit Inspector Resigns. Freewater T. L. Ragsdale, fruit in spector for Umatilla county, has resign ed and a petition was sent to Pendleton asking that Mr. Justin, a professor of horticulture in Pullman college, be ap pointed. The request has been denied, presumably because Mr. Justin is not a resident of Umatilla county. PORTLAND MARKETS. Barley Feed, $28.5029 per ton.
