Those Interested In the public chols of this city (and anyone who is not so Interested should leave) will rejoice to know thut Superintendent Churchill has finally accomplished what he has long hoped to do plac Ing a course of manual training In the schools. . In this day of modern education no chool Is complete without the manual training, and It U a credit and an honor to this city, Its board of educa tion, and Its general population, to approve of Mr. Churchill's recom mendation In this matter. The fact that Baker Is the second city In the state to adorit th mnai training, Portland being first, Is proof k us merit, and also proof of the fact mat this city lets nothlna remain done that will aid In training the cniia ror some Important part In the world's work. In selecting Prof. J. N. McNeil In . struotor of the new course, there hns been wisdom displayed, for Prof. Mc Neil has made manual training n clalty and ranks among the real first Class instructor, of that lino of work m trie inlted States. Were this not true It Is hardly likely that such men ror. Harvey, who Pleads no tlonal educatlnnnl association, would recommend him to SiinerlntnnH. Churchill, as a man fitted and capable i "tart the work In eastern Oregon's mr.r..poiis. He Is also highly recom mended by Oregon's state superintend ent of public Instruction. As has been stnted before In this paper, the gymnasium will be used for the training department and It 111 be fitted with eelctrlo power, tools of different kinds and all accessories needful for the work. In using the , "gym" economy has been adopted, which Is all right until the work gets fairly on Its feet. After Baker has had the manual training department Working for two years. th,.r -Mi i... nothing In reason that the department nmy aK Tor that It will not get. Fathers and mothers will notice with much satisfaction a new Interest Prlnglng up In the hearts of their boys for school work, and especially for the manual training department. . nen some of the product that have iii.mMisciurert In the Maker schools are taken to the home of the children who, with their own hands made them, no price could be named mat would cause parents n r,.-.. removal of those products from the nome. The mechanical drawing which will U taught Is also something of great Importance lo all hovs who have a desire of entering civil or eloctrlcal nglneerlng. and these two profes Ions are calling some of the brlght t minds In the land today, ake It , a whole. Prof. Churchill has added another Jewel to hi. crown as a thor ough and competent school m,ni by keeping constantly at It until he has witnessed a manual training depart ment In the schools of this city. Ba ker City Herald, Don't Ml the Maws Meeting. Do not miss an opportunity to In form everybody of the mass meeting to be held here Saturday evening to talk over the Irrigation project. . This is ,one of the biggest undertakings every attempted In Union county. It Is not, kir should not be the most dif ficult. It should be one of the easiest projects ever secured, and we believe it will he, but it is something that must be talked over from Its various standpoints. The more It Is Intelli gently discussed, the easier It will be accomplished. ' Water would subdivide the oreaent large holdings. This would mean but ter rurul social conditions, better schools, better roads and better homes.

The disease Is 'not pres ent at the camps 'in Its most virile form, but it Is sufficient to deem a trip of Doctor Bacon to the camps necessary. , The doctor went to the camps this morning, Intending to combine business with pleasure, and while fishing In that section of the country, he will also look Into the camp's sickness. Every effort Is be ing made by the company to stamp out the trouble berore It gets too strong a hold on the men working there.

Fifteen business houses were totally Dtirned, at a loss of 1150,000. One of those dry cases that con tain but little of Interest to the Dub- llc, but are brow-scowl producers for the court that hears them, appeared In tho circuit court today when the case of Mrs. Eliza Nodlne against W. J. Conley came up for hearlna. How ever, It was not a hearing In techni cal terms, but rather a series of ar guments to strike out certain parts of tne answer to the complaint filed by Attorneys Cochran & Cochran for for . J. Conley over the dower of the plaintiff. Messrs Lomax A An. iletson of linker City are attorneys for the plaintiff and Mr. Ltutiai u-. the attorney who presented the ar guments for Mrs. Nodlne todnv Charles E. Cochran responded for the defendant. This Is not the famous Nodlne rase which has occupied the attention of the court heretofore when Chamberlain appeared as one of the attorneys.
