GIFTS FOR BAY CITY SCHOOLS.
Circular Letter Is Sent Out by Ore
gon State Superintendent.

Salem-J. II. Ackerman, superin.
tendent OF public instruction, has issu-
ed circular suggesting that the re-
spective public schools of the state de-
wise wavs and means for the raising of
money to be turned into the San Fran
cisco reconstruction fund for the re-
building of schools destroyed by the
fire. In all, "a school buildings were
destroyed by the fire at San Francisco,
to replace which will cost $6, ,000, 900.
The school authorities of the Bay
City have been led to receive dona-
tions, as the finances of the city are
strained to the utmost, and it would be
a considerable time before the city,
unaided, could replace the schools. 1t
is their purpose, whenever the contri-
buttons from given state shall reach a
sufficient amount to erect building,
to name that building after the state
giving the money. All the school
officers and the public schools of Ore
gon have been mailed circulars by Su-
perintendent Ackerman.

ENGLAND DISCARDS OUR GOODS
Armour Says 1t viii Be Long Time
Before European Prejudice
Can Be AIIayed.

Kansas City, June THE Journal
will say:
1t is estimated that the business done
by the packing houses located here will
suffer to the extent of $40, 900, 900 as a
result of the agitation in connection
with the presidents crusade against
canned meats. Representatives of the
various plants seen yesterday agreed
with the estimate in the telegraphic
dispatches of yesterday that the busi-
ness of the whole country would show
loss of at least $3.50, ,000,00 Charles
W. Armour said yesterday:
"All this agitation is going to do an
immense amount of damage and in
quarters where it will be the hardest to
overcome the prejudice aroused. 1t
will be long time before the prejudice
against American meats in England is
allayed and it will be still longer on
the continent. The packing industries
of the country have enough obs tacles
to contend with without increasing the
number unjustly or mischievously.
Everybody knows how hard it is to
control the meat trade in Germany and
France. The world is allied CONNER
cially against the United States. 1t is
only by dint of sheer superiority of pro-
ducts, better methods and American
strenuosity that America holds her own
and is conquering the markets of the
world. 1t is not from any commercial
hospitality.
81 do not think the estimate of
$3.50, 900, 900 loss to the packers in the
whole country is exaggerated. That is
only strinkage of about 10 per cent
on the total volume of business done,
which think easily 81, 500, 900, 900 in
all branches of the trade. We have
complaints from England that the can
ned meat trade is decreasing"

Oil in Vicinity of Laconnb.

Albany-Representatives of Eastern
capitalists have recently been investi-
eating the discovery of oil in the vicin-
ity of Lacomb, Linn county. and it is
generally believed here that develop.
ment of the property on big scale will
be begun soon. The operations have
been conducted with secrecy, however,
and for that reason, very little definite
information can be obtained. For years
past indications of oil have been found
at different points between Lacomb and
Lebanon, and though there were no
gushers, it ia believed the oil was there
in paying quantities.

Oregon City = The Willamette Pulp
4 Paper company has announced an ad-
vance of 25 cents per day per man for
every man employed at their mills in
this city who is now receiving $1.75
and So per day. This advance affects
the wages of about 500 men and means
an increase in the mouthly payroll of

600 per annum. This increase in the
wage schedule at the Oregon City mills,
it is alleged by a representative of the
Willamette Pulp & Paper company, has
been contemplated by the management
