IN SCHOOL LAW.
Several Changes-What They are
Enumerate now in February.

The last session of the Oregon
Legislature made a number of am
endments and changes in th- school
law, Some of them are as follows:
The time for the county school
sup't to make the apportionment of
school funds to the various school
districts which has been made two
times a year in April and in Octo-
Der is now to be made on the first
Monday of October and as often
thereafter as the county school super
intendent may deem advisable.
The law provides that districts
may consolidate. When such dis
tricts are consolidated the said dis
tricts are to receive for five years i'm
mediately thereafter $50 for each
district per year united together
as many times $50 as there are dis
tricts consolidated.
Heretofore to alter or change the
boundary line of any organized
school district it was necessary to
secure the consent of a majority of
the legal voters of the said district
concerned in the change. Under
the new law the District Boundary
Board which consists of the county
judge, two commissioners and the
county school snperintedent can Gre
ate, change or alter the boundry lines
ofany district upon being petitioned
by three or more legal voters.
The district clerks are, now re-
quired to have their reports which
are read and approved at the an
nual school meeting reach the
county school superintendent by
tine 10th of July.
In making the school census, the
new law provides that this shall be
taken during February of each year
This census shall include all chill
dren between 4 and 20 years who
on February 25th actually reside in
the district.

FOR WATER BID.
Portland man was Here-Took Meas
urements and Copy Plans.

A prospective water bidder was
in town Sunday. He secured a
copy of the revised plans and speci-
fcations adopted by the council.
He took careful measurements nee
essary in computing the require
ments Of the system. Among other
information that he secured, was
the distance to Rock Creek, where
it would most likely be tapped for a
system of mountain water to Cor
wallis together with other necessary
data, looking to the making of a bid
for gravity, as well as some other
kind of system. He is expected to
return next week for further inves-
tig alton of the subject. His name
was not learned, but it is understood
that he is member of a pipe firm
in Portland, and that he will take
an interest in seeing that bid in
which he will have an interest is
submitted, to the end that his estab-
1ishment may supply pipe for the
system.
Police Judge Grefoz continues to
receive applications for copies of
the plan Most of the applications
come from Portland. The bids are
TO be opened May 10th.

MAD BULL KILLED HIM.
Attacked Without Warning and Fought
William Armstrong.

With collar bone broken, several
ribs so crushed that their broken
ends rested in his lungs, and with
many other injuries about the chest
and head, William Armstrong. a
well known citizen of Benton coun-
ty, died late Monday evening, two
hours after he had been rescued
from the furious attack of a Jersey
bull. Mr.. Arpstrong was the
father of Mrs. A. O. Bowersox.
whose husband died a few years
ago, from the effects of a kick from
horse. With Mrs. Armstrong,
he resided at the home of Mrs.
Bowersox, whose farm. four miles
south of Phi1omath, joins his own.
The two families have lived to-
gether, ever since the death of Ar
thur Bowersox.
The bull that killed Mr.. Arm

out horns. The animal had been
in the pasture during the day, and
in the evening Mr.. Armstrong had
goneout to bring him to the barn
There was ring in the animal S
nose. with chain attached. Mr..
|. Armstrong was on the way to the
barn with the bull, and within 100
or 200 yards of the house the bull
made attack. One neaccount is that the
man stopped down for some reason
and that the bull with loud bel
low attacked him unexpectedly.
Armstrong was knocked PROSTATE,
and after he had fallen the animal
kept up the attack, standing over
and bustlng him presis tently about
the body. Armstrong was SO years
of age, and this, with his injuries S
made it impossible for him to do
aught, to escape. Not until the

all his efforts to beat the enraged
animal off were unavaiilng.
Directed by the victim, he
brought shotgun from the house,
and sent charge Of shot into the

HARNESS RACES.
Billings Again Triumphs Over Smath-
erS

Although the second day of the trotting
meeting at Memphis yesterday developed
no race between two-minute performers
Mr.. Billings and Mr.. Smathers again locked
horns in two-horse race, in which the
owner of Lou Dillon drove gelding and
the owner of Major Delmar a mare. and
Mr.. Billings was again the winner. 1t was
a wagon event for 2.O6 class trotters, in
which The Monk and Ida Highwood We're
the starters. The bay gelding ruled favor
lite in the estimation of horsemen, although
no public pooling was made on the race.
Dolly Dillon. sister to Lou Dillon, was
scheduled to start, but was withdrawn.
The Monk won in two straight heats. Ida
H1ghwOod set too fast pace in the first
heat and was swept Off her. feet by the
steady rush of the son of Chimes before the
quarter pole was reached. The mare re-
the stretch was reached, however, and fin
ished strong. losing by length. The sec
ond heat was closely contested to the three
quarter pole, when The Monk, who had
been gradually forging to the front, as
sumed a long lead and won the heat and
race pulled down to a jog. The hard finish
of the first heat had proved too severe a
strain on the mare, and she finished all out.
A silver loving cup was awarded Mr.. Bill

BLAME LAID TO SCHWAB
Lewis Nixon Tells of Failure of Ship
building Trust.


dispatch from New York yesterday
structor became builder of warships and
the president of the United States Ship
building Company, was the principal wit
ness today at the continual ton of the hear
ing before Examiner Henry D. Oliphant as
to the affairs of the defunct corporation
named. He did not finish his recital but in
the three hours that he was on the stand
he went over much of the history of the
corporation. and the acts of the men promi-
nent in its history. He confirmed the claim
of the bondholders that Max Pam, counsel
for Charles M. Schwab. had suggested a
number of the directors for the shipbuilding
combination. and said that the proposed ex-
penditure of s.. So. 600 for improvements at
the Bethlehem steel works had been ap-
proved by the directors over his protest and
warning that the action might IN the end
leave the main corporation without funds
and wreck it. Mr.. Nixon swore that after
this expenditure was approved he made
several attempts to secure meeting of the
directors. and that Mr.. Schwab had finally
told him that he had instructed the direct
ors to remain away from the meeting.
An effort was made to show that the di-
rectors elected at the suggestion Of Mr..
Pam had not been stockholders, but, like
Company OF New Jersey. who served in the
early days of the combination. had been
given shares enough to qualify, but Mr.
Nixon had no personal knowledge of the
transaction.
Mr.. Nixon testified that, by resolution Of
the directors passed in December last Mr..
Pam was given salary Of $1S.000 a year,
