Our people tiro fully u ware of the genuine Import of their errand here, nnd of thel consummate ability to further these concerns In every way. With all other communities In the hind, this city gives respect and conlldcnco to tho teachers of their young, nnd concedes them every attribute essential for the high accomplishment to which they nro devoted. There Is no class among us thnt holds, so surely, and so abundantly, the good will or tho people as tho tenchers; they are the very next In Interest to the parentngo of tho land. So far as the children of Marsh Held go; and this wholesoino spirit Is fostered by the nlmost impeccable eonr-ie of tho educationists themselves; for of nil tho professions there Is less or failure, social fnult. and general laches, chargeable to tho teachers than tiny other great group of our people. Realizing this, eve ry community Is glnd to bo chosen for such representative gatherings as this; and Mnrshfiold cheerfully adds her testimonial of pleasure, sym pathy and advantage to tho universal tribute accruing to them for tho splendid faith and service rendered, nnd to bo rendered. " When n community makes an Investment of thousands of tlollnrs for line school buildings, creates and pnys out heavy annual funds for tho equipment nnd mnlntennnco of thoso buildings, tuxes Itself generously to pay ndequate wage to clover teachers of Its young, the only Interest ac cruing to that community Is the splendid mental development of Its chlldten, their invcstltiiro with tho ndaptahlo ndvantngos nnd graces of an education that Is to servo them (In pnrt, and fundamentally) through life. The Incroment Is ample alwnys, In this day of progressive educn tlonnl work; no one under-estlmates Its value, nor disparages tho ro turn on tho original, and tho protracted, Investment; tho supremo fact remains,, therefore, that every phat-o of tho popular contract must he carried out to the lotter; no part of It may be snfcly disregarded, cither on the part of the contracting people or on that of its agents. The tenchers nro tho agents, from tho superintendent down to tho man or woman handling tho primary grades. Tho hoard of directors Is but tho Intermediary between tho tnxpayor and this especial depart ment of public business; all orders nnd all policies must come from tho people; and It Is no less the duty of tho directorate to obey tho populnr mandate than for tho teacher to obey the school laws, or for the child to ohscrvo the discipline sot up by tho teacher. Tho entlro system Is retroactive, and failure, anywhere- along the lino of proscribed procedure, onuses friction, nnd defeats tho organic prlnclplo for which tho schools stand. This Is tho popular conception of the relations borne by tho sovernl elements Involved. There Is no phaso of public concern so sensitive to disruptive Influences ns tho school system, nnd nono that should ho administered. If the people believe thnt they should pay l.-irnoil.

Elnglncer Leefo, In charge of tho government harbor work In this sec tion, last evening received n telegram from Major Morrow authorizing him to engage Lnrson's dredge Oregon to assist tho United States dredge Ore gon in the work on th" lower Co quillo. This, it Is hoped, will enable tho completion 0f the Coqulllo pro ject this fall and also pernlt tho re turn of the United Stntes Oregon t3 Coos Bay sometime next month. The work In the Coqulllo river Inn been difficult for the dredge Oregon owing to mnny snags hindering her. Tho numerous snags in the shoal haa permitted her to work, at only abmit forty per cent of her cnpnclty nrd would delny her there nbout six weeks over the estimated time. "With Larson's dredge, It is believed that the snags can bo quickly disposed of and tho impediments tp thn Oregon's It work ollmlnnted to a largo extent. CHICAGO Kl UMPEflS TO TO KILL LAD IN POSSESS! rails E EKPERTEO Marshfield and North Bend Councils Engage Engineer For Investigation. At a meeting of the Joint water committee of the Marshfield nnd North Bend city councils last eve ning, Stnnnard &. Richardson of Portland wero engaged to prepare preliminary plnns nnd estimates of tho cost of n municipal water sys tem for tho two cities. Tho engin eers nro to appralso tho value of the present system, and also to present esttmntes to tho cost of other pos siblo sources of supply. Besides this decisive action, it was agreed that the Marshfield council's representatives should recommend that the application of.Mr. Nolan for n waterworks franchise should be laid on the tnhlo until the engineers complcto their estimates and plans for n municipal system so that It can bo properly considered and submit ted to the voters nt the same time tho Nolnn frnnchlsc. Messrs. A. II. Powers, Duncan Ferguson nnd Carl Albrecht were tho members of the Mnrshflold council present nnd the representatives of tho North Bond council wore Mnyor L. J. Simpson, Dr. Bnrtlo nnd Edgnr McDnulol. Councilman Coke of Marshfield wns also prcsont during tho closing min utes of tho meeting. Discuss 1'rnncliNe. The Nolnn franchise was discussed a little during tho evening. Mnyor Simpson of North Bend figured up what It would cost him for wnter for tho Porter mill under tho minimum rnto of tho new franchise on tho mo tor basis, that is at the rate of ten cents per thousand gallons for con sumers of 300,000 gnllons or more per mouth, and found It would cost him nbout $300 per month or $3,000 per year for tho ono mill. Ho de clared this was confiscatory and would probably compel him to close down the mill. Ho snld that with the present water company ho has a Hat rate of so much por year. Ho said olso that ho knew of three or four factories that wero prevented from locating at North Bend on account of tho water situation? Messrs. McDnnlel nnd Bnrtlo told of tho present wator situation In North Bond nnd declnred that No lan's plnns would not romedy It. Thoy said thnt ho Intended to keep on supplying tho town through tho eight-Inch main without putting In nny reservoir nnd that evoryono know It wns impossible. Edgar McDanlol declared that North Bond peopio wero Just now moro or less dependant on Marsh field for protection In tho wnter sit uation. Ho snld thnt If Mnrshflold would cooperate with North Bond In securing nn ndequato supply ho bo lleved It would bo a big stop In the direction of consolidating tho towns which leading citizens desired. How ever, If Marshfield granted tho No lan franchise without giving tho other proposition reasonable consi deration, the breach between tho two towns would be widened beyond healing. Mayor Simpson said that ho was not altogether wedded to tho muni cipal waterworks Idea but that ho thought In Justice to the advocates of It, it should bo Investigated. Ho said he merely wnnted to secure an ade quate supply of pure water. Ho said that before tho matter had beon ori ginally taken up, he had personally consulted with J. W. Bennett and J. II. Flanagan, owners of the present company and frnnchlso, nnd that thoy (Continued on page 4.) Demand $5,000 Ransom From Italian Whose Child They Stole Yesterday.

Norma Collin, tho olovon-yenr-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collin ro siding In the Tower bongo near tho Williams building, was late yester day afternoon struck by nn auto driven by Dr. Housoworth nnd slight ly injured. At first it wns foarod that her Injuries wero sovcro but It was later found that rtioy consisted of merely n fow cuts and hrulsos and today she Is getting along nicely. Dr. Housoworth, accompanied by Dorsoy Kroltzor, was driving South on Broadway. Ono of tho Hanson delivery wngons wns coming north. A little girl Jumped off tho rear of the wagon and ran across tho street a short dlstnnco abend of tho auto, which was running comparatively slow. Sho was so close as to causo Dr. Housoworth to watch hor close ly. Meanwhile tho nuto and delivery wagon wero nlmost opposlto each other. Thon Norma who had boon riding on the ond of tho wagon slid off nnd started across tho stroot ahead of tho auto. Sho evidently had not seen It nor did Dr. House worth, his attention being attracted by tho first girl, see hor until tho auto was within n couplo of feot of her. He throw tho machine out of genr and applied tho brake but that Instant the machlno struck her. Luckily tho momentum of tho auto wns not sufllclent to hurl hor ahead of but merely throw hor down, ono of tho front lnmps striking hor. Sho fell longthwlse with tho machlno and It Is bolloved that it passed over her without tho wheels running over tho body. Sho wns immediately takon to 'ler homo nnd cared for by Dr. Houno worth. Mr. Coffin, tho child's fathor, stat ed today that It was purely nn un- avoidable accident nnd that ho did not blnmo Dr. Housoworth In the least for It. miXFS will save YOU YOUB MO-VKY on KIWI) nnd FLOUIt, MARShTIELD STILL KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS AND WHAT IT'S BETTER WITH0U1 n
