ALASKAN BUSINESS INCREASE.
Receipts at Customs Offices Show
Growing Trade.

d. IL. Jarvis, collector of customs
Of Alaska, has completed his report
of the shipping business of that ter
ritory during the past year, says the
Seattle Star, The report shows an
increase in domestic products received
of $2.052,7S2, and an increase of for
eign importations of $SO5,707, a total
of S2.S5S,499, or an increase in total
receipts over last year of more than
20 per cent.
Fairbanks shows imports of sS1S'-
1s2." says Mr.. Jarvis. which is evil
IDENTIFY misleading, as great portion
Of the imports of st. Michael are even
tually sent to Fairbanks. The latter
place received large shipments OF
supplies from Dawson, which amount
ed to foreign shipments. Close to
$7OO. 900 was received in Fairbanks
from this source.
1.-The principal town in Southeast
ern Alaska show Il decided increase
and the small places decrease, indi-
eating more settled state of business
and that the towns are becoming the
depots of supplies for the outlying
country
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-04

Last evening President French of
the Weston Normal school, returned
from Salem. where he has been for
several days past, and stopped In the
city over night. He was seen at the
rooms of the Commercial Association
In the evening, and asked as to the
probable outcome of the normal
school legislation.
ITO attempt to say Just what Is
going to be done" said he, would
be prophecy. However, II is now prac-
tically certain that no action will be
taken against any of the schools ex-
cept the one at Drain, and II is also
almost certain that the one there
will be abolished. l understand that
a bill will be presented In the house
tomorrow providing for the discontin-
uance OF the Drain school,"
According to President French, a
very interesting struggle was waged
for several days in the legislature be-
tween the friends and forces of the
various normal schools. The presi-
dents of all four schools were there.
and their work was mainly with the
joint committee of ways and means,
composed of 10 members. one of the
st ongest arguments used on the side
of the schools was the comparison of
the expenses and work of the normal
schools of Washington and California
to those OF oregon. The facts that
were presented In this connection
wcir. very telling, for they showed
oregon far In the rear as far as legis.
iat'Ne aid is concerned. Last year
y2I0,0G0 was given the Belllngham
school alone by the Washington insti-
the claim that too much money was
being expended ON the state normal
schools had but little weight.
The Eastern oregon members of
the Legislature stand strongly against
any legislation antagonlstic to the
Weston school, and those from South
ern oregon are equally Jealous for
the one at Ashland. This. together
with the fact that both institutions
are doing good work, will probably
insure their future safety. How
ever. the school at Drain IL neither a
Southern oregon nor "A Valley school.
and consequently has but little back
ing. Also the fact that last year 1t
had but two graduates but an expense
of $4,000, worked greatly against II.
President French Is of the opinion
that Weston will be given all that
has been asked In the way of an ap-
preparation, which Is $4,000 Tor
maintenance. and an equal amount
for the erection of new dormitory.
