than we now nave. AT Inc present
rate of increase it will be only few
years until we will have as many pu-
pills as we can accommodate in our
present quarters. If it be the policy
of the State to adopt either the second
or the third plan above mentioned,
then it would be in the line of econo'
my to provide, at once, a sufficient
engine and dynamo for a light plant
/ to supply the additional buildings as
well as the present ones. As l said in
the outset, / favor the establishment
of a separate school for either the
blind or the deaf, here or at some
other point, provided those charged
with the management of the finances
of the State can afford the additional
expense incident thereto.
1.-The increased number of pupils
will make it necessary TO increase our
appropriation for support" to $19,-
900. This will give us per capita of
$134, with the number of pupils now
in attendance.
"Only one-half of the outside of our
building has been cemented, viz: the
front and west end. The east end and
the rear should be finished off in the
same manner, thereby preserving the
walls and giving the entire building
a uniform appearance. With an ad-
dition of $500 to our usual appropria-
ton for repairs, ETC., we can do this
cementing and effect other necessary
repairs.
1.-The following appropriations will
be necessary for the proper mainten-
ance of the school for the ensuing
year:
For support, etc., $19, 900; for re-
pairs, ETC., 5000; for building for col.
ored pupils, $4,000; for electric light
plant and laundry machinery, $4, $40
total, $32, ,52O."

Prof. MCGEE Assaulted.

The news comes from Oakland that
Prot. McGee was knocked down and
kicked severely by Ed. Settle Monday
evening. The latter conducts card
and billiard room in connection with
barber shop, and it is alleged that
some of the public school boys gamble
there in small way. Prof. McGee's
attention was called to the matter by
patrons of the school and reprimanded
those accused of this conduct, and
meeting Settle on the street afterwards
was attacked by him, almost without
warning, so it is said, the professor
being no match physically for his as
sailant. Settle could not be found
when Deputy District Attorney visited
OaElal d, but 1t is reported to-day that
he appeared and paid Il fine of about
$40. -Roseburg Review, Jan. q.
Prof. McGee was principal Of the
Lebanon public school few years ago
and was well liked by our citizens.

Joint Installation of officers.

On last Thursday evening a goodl,
crowd congregated at the Odd Fellows
hall and witnessed the installation d
the officers Of Linn Tent, X. O. Il. M.
and also the officers of Bina West
Hive, L, O. 7. NJ.
After the installation the audience
was favored with solo by Miss Ilda
Elkins, and piano duet by Misses
Elkins and Carson, after which an cd.
dress in the interest of the two orders
was delivered by Hon. M. A. Miller.
The address was an able one, full of
fraternity and instruction concerning
the benefits of the two orders.
The Ladies of the Maccabees fur
nished delightful lunch for the
occasion. Taking the affair altogether,
it was a decided success, we believe, in
sociability among members of the diff
ferent orders in Lebanon.
r. N, Beaman installed the officers
of the Tent, and Mrs. d. F. Hardman,
Iof Albany, was instslling officer for
the Hive. The floor work of instala-
ton was excellent, and was very enter
tanning to the inyited guests.
This Is the fifth time that DR.. Lam
berson has been elected to the highest
office of the Tent, which shows that
they certainly appreciate his work.
The X. 0. T. M. and L. O. 7, M. are
both good lodges, and the EXPRESS is
glad to see them thrive as they are do
ing in this city.
