The chance* are that Roll exceeded the speed limit o v e r the Santiam bridge and when he got near hia home he was jointed by Chief Yeoman and several other braves, who had donned their war paint An examination of the premises fail ed to show up anyone, until Harold concluded that he would look through the bam. The opening of the barn door gave him a glimpse of a man go ing out at the opposite side. A call to halt failing to have the desired effect Harold opened fire, but hia aim must have been bad as at the last accounts the man was still running. An examination of the barn ahowed a stran ge sack at the oat bin where the intruder had been holping himself. The special school meeting held at the school house Monday, Oct. 20, re sulted in a three mill levy for the main tenance of the high school. This tax was necessary on account of the extra teacher hired and the outlay of money required for seats and other equipment. Stayton’s up-to-date High School is starting off in a very auspicious man ner, and with an earnest and efficient corps of six Uachers we can soon boast of a school, second t o none i n the state. Already nearly thirty are enrolled in the high school, and Supt. Gauntt is out at every opportunity trying to in duce more boys and girls to enter. Looks and sounds like business, don’t it.

Mr. Wilson says he did not believe this came from an official British source, and when he read article« "evidently inspired from administration source containing expressions of gratifica tion over the supposed propitiatory explanation” of the British govern ment. "It seemed apparent to me that this was the first evidence of your Inten tion publicly to question my official acta,” he continues, “and I accordingly gave to the press the Interview re ferred to.” In his letter he criticised Bryan’s foreign policy as a "spirit of hazard ous adventure” and claimed he (Wil son) was actuated only by unselfish motives In his attitude toward Huerta and Madera.
