The Corvalli Gartte-Timc once remarked, soon a!tcr the Journal legan to fool the farmer with a "morning" edition, that now the Journal w grandstanding two time a day instead of once, at of old. There are two thing of which the Journal can claim the hi'ghot proficiency, the artj of grandstanding and the nciencf of political trickery. o ! THE MOLALLA PIONEER gets at the bottom of one of the c.n-j dition that hinders the development of rural districts in America, when it declare that it is almost impossible for an industrious and virallrtiiu the t'laclamat to cet In Oregon t'itv.

"The settler on public lands has been treated by the government as if he was trying to steal his claim. Every embarrassment has been thrown i'i his way and it has often been impossible for him to make good. "The different treatment given to the settler by the Dominion of Can ada has attracted thousands of progressive Americans to that own try and their appreciation is fully demonstrated by the way their sns are at the front righting for their adopted rountry. "The different rural credit plans which are being worked out are des signed to help the farmer by giving him money at a low rate of interest and fcr a long time loan. "In Denmark one can buy a farm on fifty years time and pay three per cent on the money and one per trent per annum on principal. One third of the farmers have bought their land on this plan. "In Australia land can be bought by paying three per cent down and the balance extended over a period of thirty-one years at four and a half per crnt interest and one and a half per cent on principal. This pays for your land in thirty-one years. "The one thing that will enable this country to develop its country life as it should is cheap money and long time loans. To ompete with other countries this must aime." The eighth grade graduates of the Estacada school have adapted a bright, optimtistic motto, "Begin right and begin right away," while the high school seniors have selected, "Tonight we launch, where shall we of agreement. For one thing, it introduce the third lactor of area along with those of population and post road mileage, at the bati for tin distribution of the annual appropriation among the stato. Thi will help to give the state of large area, which naturally have the most roadway to i build, a more nearly equitable share of the federal aid. The senate bill also eliminate the provision of the house bill for federal maintenance of roads and throw upon the state the entire burden of main tenance. In this way every dollar that oime from the federal treasury w ill go into actual construction, and, moreover, every dollar so granted mint be matched by a dollar from the state wherein the road lie. These are effective provisions against anv thing like "pork" in the dis tribution. There has been wine outcry in the eat again! the whole proposi tion as merely a new form of "pork barrel." A the east is already well provided w ith good roads, and, moreover, a it pay a heavy share of the income tax, it representatives in rongres object to helping the west and the south build roads. But federal good roads aid is a very different proposition from the time honored "pork barrel." If the river and harbor bill, fo example, proposed to appropriate $100,000 to deepen Skunk creek, on condition that the district give a like amount, and agreed in addition to keep the creek navigable after the work was done, it would be a long time before the dredge reached Skunk creek. If the public buildings appropriation bill proposed to give $50,000 for a nevv postoffice in Podunk, on ondition that Podunk itself gave a like amount, the Podunkers would suddenly find it convenient to continue getting their mail at the old place. If the Bankhead bill, or something like it, becomes law, it will stimulate every state to a vigorous good roads campaign. Minnesota, for example, the I t i ...mi l .

Trouble In Sandy High School. tf the matter is that the irraduate must foract about as much as he learned I CHEKftYVILLK, Ore., May 2".. and then begin his education all over again in the every day, practical things of life before he can realize his school day dreams. Some of our greatest Americans did not receive more than a common school education. The late James J. Hill, Charles M. Schwab, Theodore N. Vail, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Thomas A. Edison and Henry C. Frick, the industrial kings of America, began as poor boys and without the advantage of a college education worked their way through difficulties of every kind to success. A college course, the ambition of a majority of high school student-., does not offer practical knowledge as a rule. Even their courses in the so. called practical subjects must be supplemented by actual experience before they can be of practical benefit, Editor of Tho Enterprlhe.) My at tention ha h liei-n called to a statement In your paper ot May 19 under the Eagle Creek news relative to Borne trouble In the union hf Kh school at Sandy. Ag that statement Rives a very indefinite account of the cause of the cause of the trouble and leaves a very erroneous Impression as to the out come I desire to make a statement on behalf of the school board. Previous to thiB trouble the board In saying that the action they will take will not be a narrow minded ono dic tated by rellRloiiB prejudice nor ono so loose Urt to draw criticism from those who believe that students of that nice shauld be Kuideil in their social affairs by ol lor headH. I urn quite sure that their action will nuve the Kenerut ap proval of parents, will command re Bpect from the student and work out for the best pood of the school. OEOUGE II. COL'I'KU.

Ag there Is a great difference of opinion m regard to dancing tlie board did not see lit to discuss the matter ; from that point of view in this present case. They, however, considered the j principal was acting within his powers In maintaining discipline and as evl uence proved that the students were knowingly and wilfully doing a. thing that they had been requested not to do it appeared to them to be a caBe of in subordinantlon and so they upheld the action of the principal in suspending them. However, as the suspension, in some cases, lnterferred with the final examinations and as this was the first offense of this nature and further that it appeared that all suspended were equally guilty It wag decided to reduce the time of guspension to one day, after which they were all reinstated. The board did not wish to have it understood that they have taken defi nite action In regard to the matter of dancing In connection with the high school.
