try. We also wish our regular subscrib
ers to take advantage of this offer.
Pay ahead a couple of years anyhow.
No extra charge for postage will be
made for subscriptions sent outside
tho county.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Tho Hallowe'en party given by the
8. H. H. S. was a great success. Every
one seemed to enjoy themselves, the
elder barrel being the main feature of
tho evening.
Clarence Coin, one of the senior
boys, had a very deadly encounter
with a skunk Monday morning and
was unable to attend school.
Tho laboratory apparatus for the
chemistry class has at last trrived and
the class will begin laboratory work
next Thursday.
Tho basket ball squad will soon
don suits and report for duty, as the
terms of the 8unset Athletic club
have been accepted and practice will
begin about Nov. 16. The first game
is with Clatskanie, Jan. 8, and from
the looks of things now, the boys
will suro bring home the bacon.
The members of the eighth grade
class assisted their teacher, Miss
Leith, In celebrating Hallowe'en on
Saturday evening in their class
room of the school building. The
room was prettily decorated with
autumn leaves and appropriate draw
ings done by the pupils, which dis
played latent talent in the line of art.
The lights cast a rosy glow over
the scene and the witchiest witch ever
seen presided in a corner of her own,
where she disclosed the fate of all
those seeking to know past, present
and future. A short program was en
Joyed, games indulged in, and then
the event of the evening, lunch, was
served, consisting of pumpkin pies,
sandwiches, four kinds of cake, or
anges, popcorn and nuts.
Several of the mothers were pres
ent and all reluctantly took leave at
the appointed hour. The pupils are
Indebted to Miss Leith for the pleas
ant evening and one not to be forgotten.

The steamer Wapama, Capt. John
Foldat, left Monday with one million
foet of lumber and 46 passengers for
San Francisco and other California

EASTERN ELECTIONS
Returns from the eastern states,
where elections were held yesterday,
indicato sweeping Republican gains
in every Instance and with very few
exceptions Republicans were elected
to office. That Massachusetts elect
ed Samuel W. McCall, Republican,
governor, defeating the present gov
ernor, David I. Walsh, seems cer
tain. In New York twelve Republi
can mayors were elected while only
five Democrats and one Socialist
were returned. Philadelphia elected
a Republican mayor by a notable
victory, and In Now Jersey great
gains were made, the Republican
control of the Legislature being in
creased. Even in Maryland and
Kentucky, usually sate Democratic
states, the Republican candidates
were running close : '
The Woman Suffrage issue was
dofeated by big majorities in New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts. Returns from Ohio also evi
dences the defeat of the prohibition
measure, although the drys showed
gains over the previous elections.
Astoria has a lady dentist, Dr. Asta
Huugo. She is a graduate of the Pa
cific Dental college and has fitted up
a fine office.
THE STANDARD
HIGH SCHOOLS
J. A. Churchill, state superintend
ent of public instruction, has made
public the number of standard High
Schools In the state. Work of stand
ardization has been in progress by
the state department of education for
the past year and but 60 four-year
High Schools now remain which have
not met the standardization require
ments. Under the now High School law,
districts maintaining standard High
Schools are entitled to receive tui
tion for pupils attending school there,
but residing in districts not having
High Schools. This law excepts
counties maintaining the county High
School fund, but for such counties
the State Board of Education is re
quired to establish the standard for
High Schools entitled to a share of
the county High School fund, there
fore the list given includes all the
standard schools in the state. .
In order to be standard a High
School must offer four years of work;
have not less than 250 reference
books for the library, chosen from the
state library list for High Schools;
one standard encyclopedia, and suf
ficient number of dictionaries and the
proper laboratory for each science
offered. The teachers must hold cer
tificates entitling them to teach in
High Schools and all High Schools
must follow the state course of study
or a course approved by the State
Board of Education.
The following schools in Columbia
county have met all the requirements
and are standard High Schools: St.
Helens, Rainier, Clatskanie and Scap-pooso.
HOME WEATHER GUIDE.
A reader of the Mist, without
claiming to be a weather prophet,
gives us tho following western Ore
gon weather observations:
The nearer to 3 o'clock in the after
noon a change in weather takes place,
the more permanent the chango; the
nearer to 3 a. m., the more transient.
Probably this justifies the adage:
"Rain before seven, clear before
eleven."
A red sunset In Oregon is so often
followed by foul weather as to ren
der the old Bible sign very unreli
able. Rain while the sun is shining
shows a state of atmosphere that
renders showers for the succeeding
twenty-four hours very probable.
In winter the prevailing winds are
from tho south; in summer from the
north.
In winter, if storm Is reported ap
proaching British Columbia coast, ex
pect rain; if approaching California
coast, look for snow. Winds blow to
storm center; if south of us we are in
north wind, and cold. Heavy rains
In California mean cold weather In
Oregon.
When one hears people say it Is too
cold to snow, they are probably right.
It will be rain. At, precipitation re
quires the meeting of strata of dif
ferent temperatures. If the lower
stratum is cold, the upper one will be
the warm one; and such a condition
can result in a sleet, at most. But
the upper stratum is the prevailing
one, and a sleet, even, is nearly In
variably followed by warmer weather.
It is known In Oregon as "Silver
thaw."
HOUSE WARMING.
Mrs. F. A. George gave a house
warming Tuesday afternoon in her
beautifel new home to the Pythian
