The diHitster last night off Die coast of Rhode Island,
in which 34 officers and men are reported to have per
ished when a submarine was rammed, is a most unfor
tunate happening. It is especially unfortunate at this time
when the spotlight of public attention is turned on the
lutvy department. Such accidents are apparently inevitable
in the natural course of peace time activities, yet the loss
is one that will bring mourning to the nation.

CLUB WORK- AT THE FAIR.
The County Fair at Elgin is always a good fair and has
ltjany distitict advantages that produce benefits for the
entire county. To those unaccustomed to the work beinff
( dpne in agricultural communities it must be astounding
to see the fine exhibits of varied farm products. The di
versity of displays shows how little the valley is dependent
on one crop or one product. Surely it is a marvelous em
pire in which we live, a wonderful valley that goes iihciid
each year in production regardless of farm population de-
lfut the displays of farm crops at Elgin' are not the
most important things of the fair. It is the entry of the
boy or girl who is active in club work over the county that
is most impressive. The young stock that they own, feed,
and care for represents some of the choicest in the valley
and in the state. It is the interest the boys and girls take
in the club woik and the competition they enjoy at Elgin
that is the important thing. They learn good stock, they
discover how it can best be cared for, how much it costs
to provide feed, what gains are made in weight, what profit
or loss can be shown in a given animal. They reecivo a
basic training that will prove invaluable in later years:
they have early experiences that sell them on the idea of
an agricultural occupation; a foundation is laid that means
much in the development of good business people and good
citizens who will be able to contribute in .large measure to
the Jiogiess and prosperity of Oregon.
Such work as is done by the Calf club, which has its
local climax at. the Elgin Fair each year, ts most valuable,
i:nd every encouragement should be given the fine boys
and girls who have such interests.
.DOYLE'S DOLEFUL DOPE.
On the principle of "you never can tell" which impelled
the elderly lady to pay homage to Satan, it would be run
ning unnecessary risk to' treat lightly Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle's warning to a wicked world. Sir Arthur is in re
ceipt of messages from the spirits informing him that n
great catastrophe hangs over us. Unfortunately, the mes
sages have been so vague, probably due to static (this is
our guess, not his statement), that he doesn't know much
I'.bout what is coining off, except that it's a-plenty.
lie is able to assert confidently this much: the catastro
phe will last three years; the suffering and destruction
which will result are to be taken as a chastening for the
evils of today, and England will escape more lightly than
any other nation. Ho offers no explanation of the leniency
to be granted his own country, but we find a clue in his
cbscrvation that, "the world has grown far too materia';
we must be taught that life has a spiritual and not a ma
terial purpose.
We believe implicitly in the theory of spiritual chaslor.
ing by nieans of physical chastisement. Jt is not in our
heart, therefore, to question in the slightest the verity of
the Doyle dope. A great catastrophe hangs over the world.
Jt has been hanging for quite a while. We have had not
only warnings of it, but not a few demonstrations. In
fact, the chastening of man has been going on for age
v.ithout any letup. It has to go on, for the one thing on
which man is unalterably determined is that he doesn't
want to !e chastened.

ji Grande, Ore., Sept. 26, '2?.
Editor of The Observer:
There has recently developed a
great detil of controversy, some
legul conflict nnd a few near
physical encounters between the
La, Grande board of education,
their representative. Superinten
dent, J. T. LoiiHfellow, versus the
pa t ro ns a n d pit ren ts of f o j rt h
grade pupils at Central school.
Miss Mcliaftey, who .teehejj
the fourth Krade, had under Iwr'
bMpervision 44 boys nnd girls, al
though the law specifies not mo.e
than SC. Entirely too many scho
lars for any one teacher to at
tempt to instruct. Although a
nobln -effort la beinp made, it hi
physically and mentally too greit
a Htruln on the teacher nnd a
hurried. Insufficient Instruction to
the child h ould result.
Now the school fathers would
remedy this congested condition
by picking out seven pupils from
thhj vast number and forcing
them to attend Willow school.
The parents refuse to send
their children to Willow or re
move their books from Central
school. They have appeared in
person before the board of educa
tion and gave many snbslanti-il
reasons why they preferred not
to nmke such a change. These
small children must cross the
imiln line of the O. W. It. A N.
railroad. In cold and stormy
weather per hups have to stand in
u blinding Btorin for many min
utes for trains to puss. ' Maker
City has now under construction
a $45,000 school bull. ling th:it

yet--- school 'officers would com-j

Th ey m ust cross t h e Old Ore
gon Trail highway and wnd their
way down Cove avenue on nn
ungravoled road, minus even. ade
quate sidewalks. To muny it will
double the distance they must
walk.
Many parents have purchased
i high priced property in close-in
locations, paying t hereon exces
sive taxes for school maintenance;
still others pay large sums in rent
spectfully petition your .honorable
body -that inasmuch .as a numb"-'
of the school children 'of .this dis
trict are not provided with con
