FREE COURSE FOR TEACHERS.
Oregon Agricultural College Offers
Free Instruction to Public School
Teachers of Oregon.

Since the Oregon educational COM
mission has prescribed course in ag-
riculture for the public schools it will
be necessary for public school teach
ers to teach this branch hereafter.

structed in this course, Oregon Agri-
cultural college at Corvallis has vol
unteered to give free course in
agriculture during the last two weeks
in August for the especial benefit of
public school teachers who desire to
study up on this new branch.
The course will be given absolute
L. free and teachers will have the free
use of the large laboratory and IL
brary of the college as we'll as the
benefit of the expert instructors in
charge of the agricultural depart
ments of the college.

struction there will be an education
al congress held in Corvallis at that
time during which Superintendent
Ackerman, President Campbell, Gov
ernor Chamberlain, Senator Fulton,
Superintendent Denman and other
able speakers and instructors will
give addresses on educational sub
jects.
This will be an excellent opportu-
nifty for the public school teachers OF
the state to prepare themselves to
teach intelligently the agricultural
course which has been added to the
public schools and which teachers
must handle in some way If they re-
main in the profession in this state
In order to stimulate work on the
farm and in the shop Oregon Agri-
cultural college has set aside $500
to be distributed in prizes to children
who make a display Of the best tech
nical work of the farm and shop and

CANNOT SETTLE STRIKE.
Government Fails to End Difficulty
on Colorado & Southern.

OH SOlOrduO ~ SOutllerH.
A Washington dispatch says of the
failure to settle the Colorado G.
Southern strike: The national gov
ernment has failed as peacemaker in
the strike of switchmen on the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad and Labor
Commissioner Charles P. Neill an
nounced tonight that all hope had
been abandoned between the railroad
company and it's striking employees.
Mr.. Neill, with Chairman Knapp Of
the interstate commerce commission,
undertook to act as mediator at the
request of Vice President Parker of
the Colorado & Southern, who declar-
ed that in calling the strike, P. II.
Morrissey, grand master of the Or
der of railway trainmen, was violat-
ing the union agreement signed at
Chicago last year.
'It has been impossible to find any
common ground on which the con-
tending parties can agree" said Mr..
Neill, "and / do not see that there is
anything more the government can
do"
The negotiations, he said, insofar as
the government is concerned, are at
end.
The carrying out of Grand Master
Morrissey's general strike order will
mean a general tie-up Of the freight
traffic and the crippling Of the pas
senger service from Greeley. Col, to
Texline, Texas.

THE Law THAT FAILED.

Railroad employees in the United
States will not be particularly jubilant
over the decision Of Judge Evans of
louisiana. a federal judge, in which
he pronounces unconstitutional the
law passed by the last congress, maxi
ing railroads engaged in interstate
commerce liable for tho personal in
jury or death Of an employee caused
by any defect or insufiiciency due to
the negligence in cars. engines meth
eds Of operation or the negligence Of
an employee
This Judge before whom suit was
brought against I railroad company
under the law. takes the ground that
the act is mot one for the regulation
Of Interstate commerce. but simply Inn
poses liability on certain common
carriers to their employees" a liability
which he thinks congress has no right
or power to impose.
This Is substantially the view taken
by several members during the dis
cussion Of the measure Mr.. Crum-
packer doubted IL the bill could be held
to be operative outside the territories.
He said, Regulation Of employees In
their relation to the employer. in in
terstate transportation is only an in
cident Of commerce and is under the
police control Of the states"
So the law which was especially
gratifying to railroad employees, and,
which h In fact just and beneficent
law, Is hanging in the balance. ana the
question Of It's constitutionality is to
be determined by the supreme court Of
the. United States. Able lawyers who
have Investigated closely The constitu-
tional phases OF the new law express
the opinion that It Is not unconstitu-
tional. The case cited is perhaps for
tunate In this, that 1t will hasten a de-
cision on the matter from the highest
tribunal in the land. and win be a
guide to future legislation Of other
states which are facing the same prob
lem.

CITY NAME ON
POSTAGE STAMPS
Lewiston May Be Effected
by Innovation of Post
office Department

1t is possible that the next consign-
ment of stamps received by Postmas-
ter J. l.. Chapman, provided they are
of the 1907 print. will have the words
Lewiston, Idaho" printed across
their face The printing or engraving
across the stamp the name of the
bought is an innovation of the post
office department, done, 1t is thought,
to put a damper upon robbing post
offices.
w. D. Hardwick postmaster at Nez
Perez, says that his next consignment
Of stamps will have the words "Nez
Perez. Idaho. printed across the face.
When asked this morning whether his
new stamps would bear Lewiston,
Idaho" Postmaster Chapman said he
did not know, that that was the first
he had heard of the innovation.
The supposition is, however. that If
Nez Perez is to be SO honored, that the
Lewiston office, which is much larger
will receive similar recognition.
Real Cause Is Unknown.
A number of reasons have been
suggested to explain the fact that all
the United States postage stamps for
1907 to be issued from the 5000 presi-
Dental postoffices will bear the name
Of the state and city in which the
postoffice is situated. Twenty six Of
the 5000 postoffices will have these
names engraved upon their stamps,
while in the case Of the other post
Offices the names will be printed across
the face OF the stamps after they have
been engraved.
The chief reason for the change is
said to be the belief that 1t will help
to do away with the big postoffice rob-
| berries and make 1t much easier to
trace the criminals.
The postoffice robbery in Chicago a
few years ago is good example Of the
ease with which stolen postage stamps
can be disposed Of, for no trace OF the
perpetrators was ever discovered. al
though stamps worth nearly hundred
thousand dollars were stolen, and
these mostly OF small denominations
| Protect Smaller Offices.
But this is only one OF the pur-
poses the change is expected to serve,
say stamp authorities. Another is to
enable the postoffice department to de-
termine the amount of business done
by the different postoffices.
A great deal of complaint has been
| made in the past on the ground that
certain Offices are doing very much
greater volume of business than they
are credited with doing and postmas-
| tiers have had more or less trouble in
showing that they needed increased
facilities for handling their mails, as
In the opinion Of the congressional
committees having the matter in charge
the receipts for the sale of stamps did
not warrant the increase.
