JNYESTIGATE IIEFOKK HLAMIN'G.
There seems to be a misunder
standing, which has tho earmarks of
being willful, regarding the responsi
bility for tho movomont instigated by
the counly court in Its legal capac
Ky, for ascertaining the sentiment of
the directors of the various school
districts rogurdlng tho advlHubility
or a recall of the two school super
visors now in the employ of the
county. In lBauIng 0 request for
an opinion on this subject, the court
J simply filling the functions Im
posed on It In Its legal capacity, and
acecding to the wishes of a grcnt
jnany votors and tuxpayors over tho
county. In fact, this was one of
tbe tncusiimis pasBud on by the morn
ing of the Tax Payers Leuguo some
month's ago. If tho returns show
that a majority of the directors of
tho rural schools are In favor or this
move, the court will huvo no option
Tut to ask for the recall. It would
"bo only Just to the county court, If
some of those who rush hastily In
print with criticism of the offlclula
who are only doing their duty, would
' mako closer Investigation, they might
not bo so ready to mako charges
which are unfounded and untruo as
to facts.
PACIFIES FOR TRIO MOMENT.
A synopsis of tho Gorman reply to
tho American demands on tho sub
marine question, imllcutcs a deslra
on tho part of tho Imperial govern
ment to bo good providing that
England and her ullles will bb tho
suuno. Tho new orders issued to the
submarine commandurB requlro them
to smirch and warn morchantmcu
nd freighters beforo sinking, pro
viding, of course, that they offer no
ruslstanco or do not attempt to es
cape. Ilowover, If tho demands which,
the (leriuan government expects the
' United States to make on England
; mro not complied with, thou tho
kaiser will feel ut perfect liberty to
alter his declaiou and proceed aB
beforo and with renewed vigor. This
may or it may not nllor tho situation
in tho long run, but It eases up
tho tension for tho present.

FOHUWARNICD.
The county court having wisely
decided that the interests ol the
residents nnd settlers detnund It, an
order has been inudo for tho con-
structlon of a bridgo acrosB the
South Umpqua at tho Happy Valley
ferry, and tho voters and settlors or
that section, as woll as those over at
Ten Mllo and a part of Looking
luass valley may expect the usual
explosion about favoritism, influence,
etc., which has erupted every time
this subject has been mentioned.
Tho court needs no defense In this
action, and nono Is Intended, lor the
facts ace too apparent for tho neces
sity of this improvement, that t;
only wonder Is It was not allowed
