Editor Courier: .
It may be thatthe members of th
State Senate, who were hypnotized by
the State Superintendent's Office,
think the people are hypnotized also
and it may be that the State Superin
tendent thinks that he can play the
juggler's act with the people and it
may be the editorial in the Oregonian
attacking Senator Dimick (said edit
orial having the earmarks of the
State Superintendent) made friends
for the school supervisor law, but I
am inclined to think the entire outfit
of school grafters may yet be taught
that the charms of their imaginations
are not guides that the people take
stock in, for if the Senate blocks the
repeal of that nuisance, the School
Supervisor J,aw. the repeal of that
graft Jaw will go before the people
by initiative petition. Then the State
Superintendent can find out how
much stock the people take in the
statement "double the efficiency of
the schools." and "Saved Lives" etc,
Why is he afraid to let the people
decide this matter? It would have
easy to have submitted it to a refer
endum vote. I wonder if the people
have foreotten that he was an "As
sembly Candidate?" In fact I am of
the opinion that thd thing that is giv
ing the State Superintendent's office
and the State University the black
eye is petrified political character
of their heads. Did not the president
of the Monmouth "Normal" school
go to the assembly politicians and try
for the nomination of governor? Did
not the president of the State Univer
sity meet a mati that a bargain might
be mado so that the referendum petitw
ion against the appropriation might
bo thrown down? Why were the
friends of tho Monmouth "Normal"
afraid to have the appropriation go
before the people on a referendum
vote? They knew that they could not
rip tho state.
It really looks as though the "Ed
ucators" of this state have inherited
Senior Vanderbilt's motto "The people
bo Damned," and are working their
inheritance to the limit. The people
say the limit is in sight.
I talked with many people in Clack
amas county about the School Super
visor Law, and the great majority of
them considered it a graft nuisance.
Mr. Gary, the Superintendent
only gets one thousand dollars a year
and $200 traveling expenses. Each of
the supervisors $1,000 for ten months
and part of their expenses.
In Coos County the school supervis
or is a useless piece of furniture. The
State Superintendent says the city
child gets a ye ar and the country
liild gets SlU a year for education.
The country does not have to pay any
of tho city's special taxes for schools
but the city has to help puy this spec
ial tax for country school supervis
ors, in my judgement mo country
hiUl gets more for $13 without a
school supervisor, than the city child
gets for $:S3 with supervisors. For
among the curses that the city teach
er and pupil have to endure is the
top heavy load of superintendent and
supervisors.

TEN HOUR BILL PASSES
Amended to Allow Three Hours' Ov
ertime Goes Through
The Schuebel ten-hour bill,,' very
much amended from its original form,
until Mr. Schuebel would have to be
introduced to it, has passed the sen
ate, the house will no doubt pass it,
and it will go to Governor West. -
The bill provides that laborers may
work three hours beyond the ten-hour
day, and for the extra hours he shall
receive time and a half in wages.
Senator Dimick and Representative
Schuebel have fought long and harJ
to get through a bill to stop the long
shifts in the mills here, but amend
ments have been put in Dimick's eight
hour bill so that it was defeated in
the senate, and then he jumped in and
helped Schuebel to fight for his.

The Construe ion Train on the Clackamas Southern Coming Around tbe Hill of tbe Abernethy Canyon
MRS. MARY JACK.
Another prominent and well-known
Oregon pioneer has gone to -her last
resting place, being Mrs. Mary Jane
Jack, who died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Susan Hook of Mt.
Clackamas Southern Going Some
The great bridge over the Newell
Creek canyon on the Clackamas Sou
thern Railroad,' has been completed,
Angel Sunday afternoon, after an ill-' and trains are now passing over the
ness of several months of Bfight's ! large structure. The track laying
disease. Although Mrs. Jack had been
a great sufferer for the past month,
she has borne her sufferings with for
titude. She was loved and highly re
spected by all who knew her, and her
passing away is keenly felt by her
family and many friends through
out the state. Mrs. Jack had a kind
word for all and was always ready
with a helping hand to give aid to
those who were in need or insickness.
She was a woman that Oregon might
well be proud of, having made the trip
across the plains mostly by foot when
10 years of age in company with her
two brothers. She met many hard
ships enroute. It was at the time the
Indians were warring with the whites,
and Mrs. Jack, whose maiden name at
that time was Mary Jane Weddle, had
many close calls. The trip cross the
plains lasted six months, when the
party arrived in Oregon.
Here Mary Jane Weddle made her
home with her uncle on the Robert Al
len Donation Land Claim until her
marriage to William Allen Jack, 18
months after her arrival here. The
Jacks made their home on the Jeme
miah Jack donation land claim' on
Butte Creek until 18 years ago, when
Mr. Jack died. Since Mat time Mrs.
Jack has made her home with her
children in Oregon City, ,Marquam,
Silverton and Mt. Angel.
Mary Jane Weddle was born at St.
Joseph, Mo., January 15, 1837. She
Her parents died while she was in her
girlhood, and were' well known resi
dents of St. Joseph. '
Mrs. Jack was a member of the
Presbyterian church of Oregon City,
uniting with that denomination while
making her home in this city. She
has been a devout Christian during
her life and has accomplished much
good by her Christian acts. '
Mrs. Jack is survived by the follow
ing children: Mrs. Susan Hook of
Mt. Angel, County Assessor Jack and
Allen F. Jack, a prominent merchant
of this city; Barton Jack .of Mar
quum; William Jack of Silverton;
Mrs. Anetta Albright of Oregon City.
The funeral services were held at
the Miller cemetery near Silverton

Mr. Spencer of Silverton.

but have awakened from their long

. All of the hired agents and "knock
ers" and all barriers put in the way
of this work by the Southern Pacific
and its pet project the Portland, Eu

swept aside by about five hundred

will be placed in the Company's yards
in the northern part of the city for

This road hasot had the support
it should have had from our own cit
izens, and the woods have been full
of "doubting Thomases" but the good
work has gone on, and 'other good
work will go on after they are dead
and gone to the "Happy Hunting
Ground."' The real property along the
line of this road has enhanced in val
ue and will keep advancing, as people
will cause the large holdings to be
cut up into small tracts for homes,
and in a few years the whole country
along this line will be thickly populat
ed. It would require less than $50,000
to finish this road and put it in op
eration its full length, as all the steel
has been purchased, and the Company
has enough subscribed through the
sale of stock to finish the grade. In
less than one year's time this road
will be completed, and Oregon City
aitd the country tributary to the line
will have an asset that will be of
greater value than any other one bus
