For some time past superintendent
Smith has been working toward "Stand

work can only bo commended by the
thoughtful student of human nature.
According to a chart furnished by the
Superintendent to each school the fol

Room; clean and tidy, alove well

flowering plants.

Smith might well have added here,

Library; a well selected collection of

Organization; register and reporta

Teachers; at school house by 8.30

man hit a rock while dodging another
in the road, with the result that tonight
he is suffering from a broken leg.
Mr. Alderman had been nero attend

nearing Albert Luke, enroute to Burns,
to attend the Harney county institute.
He was brought back to Lakeview.
Mr. Alderman will leave for Salem
Monday via Sacramento.
WANT CHANNEL IMPROVED
Concerted action by delegates from
the various cities of the Willamette
Valley was taken during the past week
at Albany to bring about the improve
ment of the channel of the Willamette
nver so that sufficient depth will be
attained for the operation of stcamc rs
the year through between up«r valley
points and Portland. A six-foot chan
nel was discussed and the Government
will be urged to carry this project to a
successful conclusion.
Of vital interest to the people
throughout the northwest, particularly
to those living in the small towns and
on the farm, and also to the country
merchant, is the parcels post system
which will go into effect on January 1,
1913. It is thought that its inaugura
tion will awaken new kinds of competi
tion in trade. With very cheap rates
on packages of eleven pounds and un
der, the country merchant will probably
be first to feel its effect, because, say
postal officials, the business expected
for the parcels post is to be largely
farm and factory products. It is here
that the mail order houses will come
into rivalry with the county merchant,
whose only recourse will be to adopt
the methods of the business houses of
the larger centers. Under the new
system a postmaster can furnish ser
vice fur a C. O. D. shipment when de
sired.
Jacob Spaniol installed a Leader wa
ter system and did the other plumbing
for J. W, Nipple in his new house at
West Slayton. Mr. Nipple’s house is
modern in every respect and is a credit
to our neighboring town on the west.

HIGH SCHOOL FUND LAW
IS A SUCCESS IN LINN CO
. i
Below is an open letter from Super
intendent W. L. Jackson of Linn county
relative to the success of the High Schrol
Fund Law which is to be voted on in
Marion county at the general
ction.
“ In reply to your request rH. tiv o
the Fund law, which has been .. oper i
tion in this county for the past four
years, may I briefly state in answer to
your letter that the concensus of pu'. lie
opinion, after a trial of four years, is
strongly in favor of the law. It has
proved to be a step in favor of the in
terests of the masses of the people at d
more especially to the rural communi
ties. All classes of property is assessed
to create a fund ami in this county the
tax has not exceeded a one-half mill
for a maintenance fund.”
"We have sixteen high schools in the
county and one other being organized
by combining nine districts, however,
the law may be applied to either the
single district or to the union of dis
tricts."
"The rural high school is a promote»
in every sense of the word as it holds
people in the country who would move
to town, and it also brings the h <h
school in reach of many poor people
who could not give their children hifeh
school privileges. ’'
