SCHOOLS GROW,
SALOONS DISAPPEAR.
Attention was recently drawn by
Chief Justice J. M. Hill of Arkansas,
to the multiplication of educational
facilities In the southern state.. Re
ferring to his own state he pointed out
that there are today 23 schools for
very saloon, while It was not so very
long ago that there were 23 saloon's
for on school. This change has not
rom through any general law or ud4
den and Impulsive movement, but 11
in result or eaucatea public senti
ment ; :
The mathematical progression In
the Increase of school and decrease
of saloon afford gratifying evidence
of the general trend of education In
the south. Stimulating educational In
fluences have been at work, and, as
they continue to operate,!, those en
gaged In the movement look forward
to an active rivalry In the southern
states, esch striving to outdo the oth
ers In the extent to which It I Im
proving Its school system. Spokesman-Review.

In a disastrous fir. that occurred
shortly after oVlorlf thla nwrtr,
the R. E. Porter house, below the ball
.grounds, was completely destroyed and
the members of the family escaped
with their lives only by hastily climb
ing through the windows, say the
Pendleton East Oregonian. .
How the fire started Is a complete
mystery. .According to Mrs. - Porter
the family retired about I o'clock last
evening apd they were awakened be
tween and 4 o'clock by finding the
house enveloped in flames. At the
time Mr. Porter was In Hermlaton and"J
Mrs. Porter and her children were
alone at home, three of the children
were sleeping In the upper portion of
the house and escaped by going out
upon the porch and Jumping off.
By the time the' family was. aroused
th flames had spread so that the
door' could not be reached and Mrs.
Porter escaped through a wlrfdow. So
hurriedly did the family leave the
burning place that they had not even
an opportunity to dress and were forc
ed to seek shelter of their neighbors
In their night robes.' A small rocking
chair was the only thing about the
house that was saved. ' !
