STATE SCHOOL FUND
HAS BEEN SLIGHTED

SALEM, Ore, Aug. 30.-That the
state school fund would have been
richer by millions of dollars had it
enjoyed the same protection in the
past that it does at present was the
declaration made by Governor West
in discussing figures prepared for him
by the state land office.
According to the figures there have
been sold 312O.600 acres of land Sc
cured through grants from the feder-
al government For them the state
received s6,6S6,0O or about s2.15 an
acre There remains yet unsold $50
600 acres of surveyed land and ESQ.,
600 acres of unsurveyed land.
Had the same protection been
thrown around the school fund in
past years as is now thrown around
It, the fund would have amounted to
$50 10000 or $4OOO0,O0O instead OF
a little more than Sc 500, 600 the am
cunt now in the fund" said the gov
crnor
The handling OF our school fund
stands as an object lesson in plunder
and waste. 1t shows how public of
fic;ais will often stand idly by an |
permit such a sacred trust as the
school fund to be plundered by sell
fish interests. without raising a hand
in its defense"

at $3.50 or the extreme price of yes

slightest doubt that hogs are not
really worth the money they are
bringing today at North Portland.
Therefore it is more than likely that
a sharp loss In the price will be fore

TENDERS RESIGNATION.
Postal Director Cotterman of Philip.
pines to Leave Service.

The bureau of sinsular affairs of the
War Department. was advised by cable
gram yesterday that Charles NJ. Cotter-
man, director of posts of the Philippine
Islands, had resigned, to take effect De-
cember 81, In order to enter private busi-
ness. Gov. Harrison adds that Mr. Cot
terman's successor will be appointed in a
few days. Mr.. Cotterman had had long
experience in the postal service of the
United States prior to going to the Phil
ippine Islands. He was appointed in
March, 1901, by the Postmaster General
to the he ID of the postal service in the
Philippine Islands, and has been contin-
ued in that position since.
The postal service of the Philippine
Islands is wholly independent of the
United States postal service, and Mr.. Cot
terman was at the head of the system
which is maintained from the revenues of
the Philippine Islands. The bureau of
insular affairs is advised that Mr.. Cetter-
man had resigned in October. but Gov
ernor General Harrison had declined to
accept his resignation. 1t was assumed,
therefore, that the resignation has now
been accepted because of Mr.. Cotterman' S
desire to enter into private business.
Mr.. Cotterman was originally appointed
from Ohio. but has recently made his
home in Nebraska.
