ON THE It is not so very long ago
MOVIES that daring souls, who were
not afraid of electricity or of -contracting
diseases of the eye, would drop a
nickel in the slot, bend double ovir
a rumbling, sputtering,' buzzing ma
chine, bury their faces in a dirty
hood, and exclaim with joy as they
saw a diminutive picture on a dimin
utive screen "prance and dance jerkily
about. This was the kinetescope,
hailed far and wide as the marvel of
the age. A year or so later one soli
tary amusement hall in New York got
25 cents a head from people who en
tered to see the cinematograph, the
first real moving picture machine that
projected animated figures upon a
white screen.
Nowdays people do not even ex
claim when they read that a new $10,
000 moving picture house has just
opened, that it contains opera chairs,
and that it has more conveniences for
it patrons than the average theatre
that is devoted to the drama. Admis
sion to these palaces of animated pic
tures is usually ten cents, and they
are packed from early morning till
the last film is run. Where formerly
pictures of the animated variety at
tempted to show nothing more thrill-
ing than a horse race, they now pre:
sent for the public view great spec
tacles founded upon the classics, anl
in which leading actresses and actors
are paid fabulous sums to appear.
Oftentimes a thousand people take
part in the -productions, and expedi
tions are made to all parts of the
world to get the proper and appropri
ate stage settings.
Not only is this done, but enterpris
ing "moving picture newspapers"
maintain bureaus in all the principal
cities of the globe, where nimble
footed and trained operators wait like
scouts, ready to dash at a moment's
notice to the scene of some great dis
aster or ceremonv, to catch upon the
long and narrow film the actual hap
penings, so that the rest of the worl'i
raay actually see what is going on in
the four corners of the earth. Any

College Must Train the

PER AND NKTHER MILLSTONES.
The German-American university has now become the
home of .scholarship and research, and professional schools
are steadily encroaching upon the four year college period.

OVER AS THE OBJECT OF ITS FOSTERING CARE AND EXPERT

Dillman & Howland
today may visit Europe," may go to
the frozen north, may share wih
Scott the perils of the Antartic, or
may plunge into darkest Africa, and
see nature in its wildest. Even dis
tant warfore is brought home to as,
and shown night after night upon the
magic mirage of the moving picture
screen.
It is a wonderful thing, when one
stops to think of it. In former years
one had to be rich to travel, and to
see the world. Now the faithful
"movies,"1 sandwiching the real world
in between the exploits of Cayuse
Charlie or some other favorite of the
films, take the patrons of the houses
from one end of the globe to the
other, all in a few minutes. They
bring to the backwoods hamlets, even,
the great personages of the world,
and show them bowing, speaking, or
otherwise exercising ifhemselves.
They give the country, towns the bene
fit of Bernhardts and Southerns and
other great thesplans that- never play
the one-night stands, and they even
magnify the bugs and beasts of the
field, and show them busy at their
work of filling their place in the uni-
vense.
Some people say the "movies" arc
bad. Maybe some of them are. But
for the most part they are good, for
the most part they are educational in
one way or the other; and in nearly
every case they are worth the nickel
or the dime that they cost.
OVER IN This is a great time for
GERMANY the house of Hohenzol
lern. The German people, are, cele
brating the twenty-fifth successful
year of the reign of the present
Kaiser, and they are doing it nobly.
Monarch s of the old world are gath
ering in Berlin to extend felicitations
to Emperor Wilhelm, and feudal cere
mony is being revived primarily for
its aid in making the celebration a re
markable spectacle.
And it is fitting. Germany is less
of an empire than many, another
country that boasts political freedom.
The Kaiser is less of a despot than
many a ruler who derives his power
from the people and not from divine
right Under his rule the Fatherlaud
has grown and developed, has per
fected a school system that puts the
rest of the world to shame, hs built up
an industrial system that is the
wonder and the fear of all competit
ors; and throughout all this the even
tennure of progress has not been -lis-turbed
by the ravages of serious war
fare. The Kaiser has proved a wise
leader, a master hand at executive
power, and a builder who will go
down in history as one of the truly
progressive men of the world.
Like other men he has his idiocyn
cracies and his faults. He is perhaps
over aware of his own powers and ac
complishments, yet he has ground for
an exalted pride in himself. He has
done wiih Germany and the Germans
what no other man has done with any
other country; he has developed a
race energy into new channels, and
todav is BETWKEN THE UP

IP THE vVlFE
The
has converted a nation's resources in
to a wealth that stays at home. He
has- adopted the system of intensified
development to, -everything, and has
at the same time kept his own people
happy and contented. In the past
America has made some fun of Wil
helm. We have looked upon him with
amusement, but at times our smiles
have annoyed him. But he has had
his revenge. He has so trained and
developed his people that he has
made the legend "Made in German"
more familiar in the United States
than any other sign; and in trade,
science and general learning he has
made his own nation such a leader in
the world that we who in the past
made fun of him now send delega
tions to his land to learn his secrets.
The Kaiser and Germany have a
right to be proud of each other, and
it is fitting that they should have a
silver jubilee.

To. the Taxpayers and Patrons of

County, Oregon:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We respectfully submit for your
consideration the following report
of matters in connection with the
business -of school District No. 62.
transacted during the fiscal year
just ended.
We are again closing the year
without a floating debt, and with
$9,333.23' in our sinking fund to pay
off outstanding bonds. On ,July 1,
1913, bonds to the amount of $6,000
fall due, and we shall have funds- on
hand to take up this issue and have
a balance remaining to apply on the
payment of an issue pf $6,000 that

will mature December 1, 1916.
We have kept our expenditures
this year well within our estimates,
and the schools have been kept up
to the standard set, though we re-
- ceived less money during the year
just ended than in the previous year
due to the fact that the special tax
levy was reduced from nine mills
to eight mills. Of this levy one
mill goes to the sinking fund, the
district being required by law to
provide for the retirement of bonds,
as they mature.
During the year considerable
money has been - expended in re
pairs and improvements, principally
at the Barclay building, where
needed repairs were made and upon
the grounds of the high school
building.
There has been a gain of 144
chi'dren of school age in the dis
trict, the census taken last Novem
ber showing 1644 children between
the ages of 4 and 20 residing in the
. district. . -
The district was successful in de
feating an effort to compel it,
through the courts, to pay for ma
terial furnished contractors on the
high school building and for which
the contractor did not pay.
- The financial condition of the dis
trict and the receipts and disburse
ments for the fiscal year are shown
by the annual report of the district
clerk, which is hereto appended.
