PACIFIC COAST FREIGHTS
HIGH HATES FOR WHEAT CAUSE
ADVANCE XITRATE CHARTERS.
-
Will Check Movement of Tonnage In
Tills Direction Two Trannports
'Returning to Portland.
titrate frlenghts on the vrest coast of
South America, and wheat freights from
the west coast of North America seem
to have very much In common. A year
ago the high rates paid for nitrate ships
sent wheat rates out of North Pacific
ports up to the highest rate reached in
eight years. Nov conditions ere reversed,
and the high rates paid for wheat ships
are lifting nitrate freights along with
them. A month ago nitrate ships went
begging at 22 shillings to 25 shil
lings, but now they are up around 30 shil
lings, with a number of fixtures reported
at 2Ss 9d to 29s. The advance was
caused by a number of ships sailing away
from west coast ports in ballast for Port
land, Puget Sound and San Francisco.
Under normal conditions, there Is a dif
ference of about 10 shillings In favor of
the nitrate men, as compared with North
Pacific Coast wheat exporters, but when
wheat chartering began a few months
ago this differential widened out to 15s
and 17s 6d per ton.
This started the ships north, and Port
land has already loaded 10 vessels that
came up from "West coast ports, and eight
more are listed for this port, with as
many more for, San Francisco and Puget
Sound. Those coming to Portland are the
East Indian, Falls of Hallidale, Celtic
Chief, Mayfield, Klnfauns and Mooltan,
from Valparaiso, Galgate from Callao,
end Samoena from Mollendo. The ad
vance in nitrate freights will undoubted
ly check the movement of ballast tonnage
to the north, but it came too late to
force wheat freights up to any apprecia
ble extent, as enough tonnage has been
headed In this direction to make the sta
tistical position of ships about the same
as it was a year ago. The only charters
reported this month have been at 41s Sd,
which was exactly the same rate as was
paid a year ego this month.
CHICAGO'S ATLANTIC LINE.
Promoters of Steamship Enterprise
Satisfied With the Experiment.
NEW YORK. June 12. A special to the
Tribune from Montreal says: Warren F.
Purdy, manager of the Northwestern
Steamship Company of Chicago, who is
In town, says that the company is satis
fied with Its venture In having ships ply
ing directly between Chicago and Great
Britain by way of the St. Lawrence route.
There is $1,000,000 Invested in the four
steamers already running and two more
are to be constructed Immediately. Mr.
Purdy says he Is satisfied that the an
nouncement of the Dominion Government
that there Is 14 feet of cjear water In
the St. Lawrence canal. Is well founded,
as on the voyage of the Northtown, which
has just come through, he held the tape
himself and found a minimum depth of
more than 14 feet. Mr. Purdy predicts that
other Chicago shipping firms will follow
the lead set by his company, and expects
to see half a dozen different lines plying
direct between Chicago and Europe. There
is, in his opinion, an astonishing future
before the St. Lawrence waterway.
THYnA AXD KINTUCK.
Tvro Big Transports Will Return to
Portland From Manila.
The United States transports Thyra and
Kintuck will both return to Portland from
Manila, and the former has already sailed
for Portland with a company of volun
teers, which will be mustered out in San
Francisco. The Thyra was turned over
to the Government in this city, and It is
supposed that she Is coming back to Port,
land to be returned to her owners. Oth
erwise, she would probably go direct to
San Francisco with the troops. Just why
the troops should not be mustered out In
Portland is a matter which is not easily
explained, except that the San Francisco
pull is heavier than that of Portland.
The Kintuck will probably bring a few
soldiers when she returns. She had ex
cellent luck with her outward cargo of
horses and mules from Portland, losing
but four animals on the voyage.
SCARCITY OF SAILORS.
Mnny Ships Delayed at San Fran
cisco by Shortage of Crews.
There is a great scarcity of sailors in
San Francisco, and several ships have
been tied up for over a week, endeavor
ing to get crews. Meanwhile blood money
has advanced to extravagant figures. For
tunately for this port, there are but few
ships loading, for if there was a large
fleet in the river it would be almost an
impossibility to secure crews with which
to man them, and the old cry of extor
tion would be raised. There is so much
profitable employment on shore that the
allurements of an ocean voyage are not
sufficiently great to attract sailors at the
present time. There will be quite a fleet
of July ships this year, but by the time
they are ready to sail the deserting tars
will have had their fling ashore, and will
be ready for sea again.

COLLECTORS WITHDRAWN.
Expenses of Getting; Bicycle Tax
Grcnter Than the Receipts.
The iO bicycle license collectors who
have been stationed on the bicycle paths
were ordered withdrawn yesterday by the
County Commissioners, and it Is probable
that no more Deputy Sheriffs will be put
on this work until city paths are built.
The bicycle tax was coming in slowly, con
siderably less than 52000 having been taken
in at the time the outside men were put
to work. The amount has since Increased
to J2SO0, which represents 2800 tags alto
gether that have been disposed of. This
is a small showing when It Is considered
that during the first year under the old
law over $12,000 bicycle tax was realized.
R. G. Morrow and T. Brooke White, as
representatives of the Bicycle Council, ap.
peared before the Commissioners with a
list giving the receipts and expenses of
the outside collectors as follows:

Sheriff Frazler was present, and, ad
dressing him. Commissioner Mack said:
"These gentlemen of the bicycle" organ
ization think it is costing too much to
collect the bicycle tax."
Sheriff Frazler, in response, said: "The
present condition of affairs is not alto
gether agreeable to me. I have followed
the law as best I could. I have had ten
men on the paths, and It should be re
membered that they not only sell tags
but induce persons to come to the Court
house and purchase them, but whatever
Is agreed upon Is agreeable to me."
Mr. White expressed the opinion that
the deputies should be dismissed at once
and have some man or men put on the
paths occasionally, to make arrests. He
did not believe It was a paying proposi
tion to hire men to collect the license
when It Is being spent in salaries almost
as fast as It Is collected.
The Commissioners agreed that there
appeared to be little object In keeping the
men out and ordered them dismissed.
Messrs. Morrow and White had plans
and specifications with them for city
paths, and wanted the Commissioners to
advertise for bids right away, but this
was not consented to. The Commission
ers did not examine the plans and speci
fications, and the gentlemen who brought
them did not leave them with the Clerk
of the County Court.
Commissioner Showers states that he
desires to obtain the opinion of the Dis
trict Attorney before proceeding with
these paths. He also remarked that peo
ple who want to get their Winter's wood
In will object to bicycle paths alongside
the curb, and that other objections have
been urged. Auditor Pope states that
there Is a balance of about 55000 In the
bicycle path fund, realized from the old
bicycle tax. and against this paths are
being laid out which will cost about 5500.
The outside deputies which heve been
at work have been paid by warrants
drawn on the old fund. The Sheriff has
disposed of about 2S00 tags under the
new law, and this makes about 57300
available for bicycle paths.
What it will cost to construct paths In
the city, and how they will be built, re
mains to be determined. The cost of
building the paths In the country dis
tricts was from 550 to 5200 per mile. Some
times banks had to be cut away and
grading done, which was expensive, but
this did not often happen. On some of
the county roads the paths are eight feet
wide, and wnen placed on both sides of
the road are six feet In width. They are
about eight inches high, topped off with
screened gravel. It will cost but little
to keep them In repair, probably 510 to
515 per mile.
EASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Planting; and Seeding; Done Filling;
Silos Now.
GRESHAM, Or.. June 12. Seed time Is
about over, all crops being In the ground,
excepting on a few pieces of low land In
different localities that are still too wet
to plant. The heavy rains of last night
and today will do an Immense amount of
good and very little harm. Late-planted
crops will sprout readily and come on
about as soon as If they had been put In
earlier. All crops are looking well, and
the yield promises to be Immense, but
there is no telling what the cutworms are
deciding upon, nor whether the sun may
not conclude to get to work overtime
and scorch up a few hundred acres before
going on another strike.
The last of last year's crops Is going
to market in small and not very at
tractive lots. Almost every farmer has or
had a few sacks of potatoes left over
after planting, and there were a few bales
of hay scattered about over the country.
These are being hauled to town while the
prices are up, for It Is almost the last
chance to sell them.
Filling; Silos.
F. T. Williams has just finished two silos
of 75 tons capacity each, and has a cut
ter In place ready to begin filling them
with green clover. The problem of pre
serving a clover crop In rainy weather has
been solved, as It makes no difference how
wet and green the grass Is when it Is put
away. Numerous other farmers will also
fill their silos In the same way with green
clover, and then begin feeding It out so
as to have the silos empty by the time
that corn fodder Is ready to fill them again
for Winter.
Seven Graduates.
Seven pupils of the Gresham School
have passed their final examinations
from the eighth grade. They are: Etta
Manning. Clarence Cleveland, Bert Metz
ger, Lillle Ross, Laura Harvey, Grace
Dorerty and Maud Rowley. Graduating
exercises will take place in Metzger's
Hall on a later date during this month.
The entertainment given by the school
and Miss Grace Holmes a few evenings
ago netted 515, which will go toward the
library fund. Professor WInchell- has
conducted the destinies of Gresham's
school for six years, but will now retire
from teaching and devote himself to his
poultry, bees and farming.
Brief Notes.
Measurements have been made and
stakes set for telephone poles along the
Base Line road from Russellvllle to Rock
wood. Work on construction of the line
will begin In a few days.
The teachers, families and pupils of
Rockwood and Terry school districts
joined together in a picnic at Sandy
bridge yesterday. There was a very large
attendance and a splendid time was re
ported. Multnomah Grange will give a straw
berry festival at the G. A. R. Hall, Pleas
ant Home, next Saturday, assisted In a
programme by the pupils of the advanced
grades of Orient School. Other literary
exercises will be held in the evening, com
mencing at 8 o'clock.
ANOTHER COAL PROSPECT
PROJECT FOR BUILDING RAILROAD
TO IT FROM HBPPNEB.
W. S. Lytic Says He Has Found Rica
Bituminous Coal, and He Is Pro
moting; a Development Scheme.
W. 8. Lytle, who was formerly con
nected with the Northern Pacific Coal
Company at Roslyn, Wash, and later
was auditor of the Columbia Southern
Railroad, has been spending several
months in Morrow County, where he has
set on foot a considerable development
project. It Is no less than the organiza
tion of the Oregon Railroad & Coal Com
pany, with a capital of 5500,000, to build
a railroad 25 miles southward from Hepp
ner to a coal prospect, and to open and
operate coal mines. Mr. Lytle is presi
dent of the new corporation, and -chief
promoter of the development project. As
sociated with him In the corporation are
D. E. Herrln, the sheepman; Attorney
Redfield and Banker Conser, all of Hepp
ner. Mr. Lytle, who is now In Portland
to promote the Interests of his develop
ment project, says the Intention Is to put
a force of men In the field next week.
The opening of a coal mine and the sur
vey of a railway route to It will proceed
at the same time, he says, and no time
will be lost In getting the work under
way.
Mr. Lytle has specimens of coal assaying
as high as 55 per cent fixed carbon, which
he says he obtained from an outcropping
near the crest of the western spur of the
Blue Mountains. That spur forms the
watershed betwepn the Columbia and the
John Day. He says there are three dls
tlct measures of coal In that spur, and
that all of them crop out on the John
Day side also, where blacksmiths have
used the coal for years. The coal cokes
readily, and the coke Is 87 per cent car
bon, according to the figures Mr. Lytle
has. He says his company has control of
two sections of the coal land, 12S0 acres.
The route outlined for the proposed .rail
way Is up Willow Creek. The altitude of
the coal cropping is about 4000 feet, or 2000
feet above Heppner, and thu ascent is
said to be easy. In connection with thin
project It Is Intimated that the route to
be traversed by this Hns is j'ust the one
that would be taken by the O. R. & N.
Co. In case it should ever build a cut-off
by way of Heppner, the Upper John Day.
Sumpter and Baker City, to escape its
present grades In the Blue Mountains.
Valuable as would a good coal mine In
that locality be, the coal would not be all
the traffic for a railroad there. A large
area of excellent pine timber covers that
spur of mountains, and would yield a vast
volume of business for the road. The
country between Heppner and the moun
tains Is also capable of great agricultural
development. The opportunity for gen
eral development In that region Is good.
THOSE AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
All Thnt Have Gone Abrond Have
Foreign Modifications.
NEW YORK, June 12. "They have no
real American locomotives abroad, strictly
speaking, and the critics of these engines
do not know what they are."
So said A .M. Waitt, superintendent of
motive power and rolling stock of the
New York Central Railroad system. He
was speaking of the cabled reports of the
unfavorable criticisms passed by foreign
railroad officials upon the American-made
locomotives with which they have lately
been experimenting.
"The locomotives they refer to," Mr.
Waltt continued, "are American in make,
true enough, but they are English and
foreign in dimensions, caliber and power.
Owing to the restrictions made necessary
by narrower and lower tunnels and oth
er essential differences which character
ize English roads, as compared with ours
and the same Is largely true, I under,
stand, on the Continent It Is simply lm
possible for them to utilize such a ma
chine as we now regard as a truly Amer
ican locomotive. The result Is they get a
sort of hybrid affair, built by American
skill, but on foreign lines, and to meet
foreign requirements, and then. If It does
not prove to bei all they had hoped for,
they proceed to criticise the American
locomotives."
Mr. Waltt went on to say that In Eng
land the practice Is to nurse locomotives
and let them grow old, while In this
country the practice Is to run them hard
and use them to their fullest capacity.
Angus Sinclair, editor of Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, years ago drove
locomotives on the Caledonian Railroad in
Scotland, being a Frenchman by birth.
He visits Europe yearly, and he has
studied the subject of locomotives in
every country there, except Spain.
"Prejudice, prejudice," he said, when
the subject of American locomotives was
broached. "Two-thirds of It, at least, is
simply prejudice. It Is hard to get a
British or a European engine-driver to
make a favorable report on a Yankee ma
chine or a Yankee Invention of any kind.
But they will come to It, In spite of their
prejudices. The American locomotive will
win Its way In Great Britain and Europe
that Is certain."
DISPATCHERS END SESSION.
Ask Change In Train Orders New
Officers Chosen.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12. The Na
tional Convention of Train Dispatchers
this morning discussed and adopted a me
morial which It Is purposed to send to the
American Railway Association, relative to
various changes In the existing method."
of hauling trains, and particularly as re
gards the use of a positive waiting point
between trains of the same class, and
concerning "wait" orders. A paper wai
also read on train signals.
This afternoon the members listened to
the reading of more papers on matters
applicable to the operation of passenger
and freight trains.
Tonight the nominating committee rec
ommended the election of Vice-President
J. P. Mann, of Ennls, Tex., as presi
dent, and the election of F. S. James,
Cherokee, la., as vice-president. There
were no other nominees and the election
of both candidates was made by accla
mation. J. W. James, of Tucson, Ariz.,
and J. F. Mackle, of Chicago, were rival
candidates for editor of the official organ.
Mackle was elected. The following ex
ecutive committee was elected: James W.
James, Tucson, Ariz.; A. D. Caulfleld.
Louisiana; T. W. Evans, Jersey Shore,
Pa., and F. S. Rodgers, Kansas.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
thanks to transportation companies and
others who had assisted to make the trip
of the delegates pleasant.
Pittsburg, Pa., was selected as the place
of meeting In 1902. The delegates will de
vote several days to sightseeing in Cali
fornia. NORTHERN PACIFIC AGREEMENT.
Purpose to Establish Community of
Interest In Transcontinental.
The Wall Street Journal of June 6 prints
the following concerning the recent agree
ment between the Harrlman and Hill In
terests In New York:
"There has been a good deal of guess
ing as to the scope of the Northern Pa
cific agreement. It has been declared by
some to be very narrow, affecting only
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific end Great
Northern. It has been declared by others
to be so broad as to Include all the Pacific
and Granger roads and the Trunk lines.
"The truth lies, as usual, between the
extremes. The Northern Pacific settle
ment Is explicit and binding upon
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and Bur
lington. These roads may do certain
things and may not do others, the pur
pose being to protect each in its ter
ritory and each In Its rights without the
probability of Interference "by the others.
"The settlement, however, goes some
what further than this. Without abso
lutely binding other properties to the
strict performance of certain duties, it
has been assented to by those Identified
with other properties and will exert an.
Influence upon the policy of the North
western, St. Paul, Atchison, Missouri Pa
cific and some other roads.
"The purpose was to establish com
munity of interest In transcontinental
lines, to avoid unnecessary building, to
prevent local jealousies or ambitious In
terfering with broad policies, to maintain
rates subject to wise supervision founded
on general conditions, and to promote
the welfare of each line in its own field
as distinguished from the fields of its
neighbors.
"We are not able to say just how far
this agreement will control the policy of
the Northwestern In the matter of an
extension to the Pacific Coast. The In
tention, however, Is that the Northwestern
and St. Paul shall be given on existing
lines facilities fully equal to any which
could be obtained by building.
"We do not know exactly what has
been pledged to Missouri Pacific, but it Is
known that George Gould is closely con
nected with the Kuhn-Loeb syndicate and
it is probable almost to the point of
certainty that Missouri Pacific will have
no occasion to extend Its Texas lines west
to the Pacific, as long as Southern Pacific
Is held by Union Pacific.
"It Is uncertain what arrangement has
been made with reference to Atchison.
But Mr. Steele, of Morgan & Co., was
elected yesterday a director of Atchison,
and there Is reason for believing that
other than Morgan Interests have been
large buyers of Atchison stock in the
last ten days. It would surprise nobody
to learn that there was a Joint control of
Atchison as well a a joint control of
Northern Pacific."
Importnnt Traffic Arrangement.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 12. An Important
traffic arrangement for handling passen
ger business on the Pacific Coast has
been made by the Northern Pacific and
Canadian Pacific. By Us terms the North
ern Pacific secures through service to
Victoria, B. C, and ttie Canadian Pacific
Is permitted to run Its trains Into Seattle.
There Is a tremendous traffic through the
Northwest for British Columbia, and the
westbound business of the Canadian Pa
cific represents a large percentage destined
to Seattle.
Denial by Rnllroad Officials.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. June 12. Penn
sylvania Railroad officials today denied
positively that the company had acquired
a controlling Interest In the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, and a!so that the Penn
sylvania Railroad had purchased the Ber-wind-Whlte
Bituminous Coal Company. At
the office of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany the officials would neither confirm
or deny the rumors.
Nine Million Bond Issue.
MEXICO CITY, June 12. The bond issue
of the railway, taken over by the Still
well group of American capitalists, and
which they will extend to Tamplco, giv
ing this city a direct route to that port,
is 59,000,000.
Loenl Freight Agents.
DENVER, June 12. Nothing but rou
tine matters occupied the attention of
tho Local Freight Agents' Association to
day. The: car service men re-elected
their old officers.
Railroad Notes.
The Southern Pacific weather report
yesterday morning showed a full Inch
of snow at the crest of the Siskiyou
mountains. Not since that stretch of road
has been operated from Portland has
there been such a snowfall at this sea
son of the year. No particular damage
was reported.
General Passenger Agent Craig, of the
O. R. & N., yesterday issued a circular
quoting reduced rates for the Fourth of
July. At each station on the system, In
cluding Lewlston, Idaho, agents are au
thorized to sell round-trip tickets for one
and one-third fare, sales being made on
the 3d and 4th, with return limit until
the 6th.
A neat and useful pamphlet devoted
to the description of Summer resorts
reached over their lines in Oregon has
just been Issued by the Southern Pacific
and Corvallls & Eastern Companies. It Is
mostly devoted to setting forth the at
tractions of Yaqulna Bay. Numerous
half-tone Illustrations add to the value
of the Information presented In the let
ter text. Protection from raw wind Is
made the keynote of Yaqulna's attrac
tions. Features 'of Interest thereabouts
are illustrated and described and the
pamphlet Is made a sort of tourist's guide
book for that resort and for others in the
Cascade Muntains.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
No Reason Why OrcRon Shonld Not
Be Literally Covered AVith Routes.
WASHINGTON, June 7. A. W. Machen,
superintendent of the free delivery divi
sion of the Postollice Department, and
having direct charge of rural free de
livery, recently returned from a hasty
tour of the Western States. Mr. Machen
visited Portland, Tacoma and Seattle,
among other cities. Aside from favorable
comments made upon the growth of the
cities themselves, Mr. Machen was much
pleased to find that a high degree of suc
cess had attended the establishment of
rural free delivery In Oregon and Wash
ington. "The service Is not so extensive In those
states as It Is further East," he said to;
The Oregonlan correspondent, "but every
route is giving universal satisfaction and
surpasses our expectations. In fact, I
can say. In a general way, that every rural
free delivery route that has been estab
lished In the United States Is giving sat
isfaction to the patrons. I had but lit
tle opportunity to nee the rural districts
of Oregon and Washington, but what I
did see convinced me that those states
are exceptionally well fitted for the In
auguration of this service, where the rural
districts are sufficiently populated to meet
departmental requirements. The roads
are good, and good roads Is one of the
first requirements. The limitations of the
population In the eastern part of those
states alone operates against a more gen
eral establishment of the service. The
people there seem to be waking up to the
great advantages of this new- form of
service, and we are being piled more and
more for the establishment of new routes,
which are being Installed as rapidly as
we can have Inspection made. There Is
no reason why these two states should
not be literally covered with rural routes,
except In the sparsely settled sections
east of the mountains."

END OF SCHOOL YEAR
COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT ST.
HELEN'S HALL.
Attractive and Entertaining; Pro
gramme Summer Plans of
the Teachers.
The friends of St. Helen's Hall have
been out In force this week to enjoy the
novel and entertaining programme pre
pared for them to celebrate the close of
the school year. Commencement week
opened Monday night with a "court ball,"
Intended to be held on the tennis court,
but Oregon skies being unpropltlous, the
young people had to seek the kindly shel
ter of a roof, and In the spacious school
rooms they danced the merry hours
away.
Yesterday's programme composed fea
tures of varied Interest. An attractive
callsthenic drill filled the first hour of the
afternoon. Miss Mollie Buckenmeyer, in
structor of the Multnomah Athletic Club,
has charge of this department at the
Hall. There was a wand-drlll given by
16 little kindergarten girls, a "baby pol
ka," schottlsche, and a military salute,
In which the wands were handled not ex
actly with the precision of old veterans,
but with pretty, unconscious grace that
quite captivated the audience. Another
class of older pupils followed. In which
were given the Trilby two-step and other
pretty, figures, free movements, both
Swedish and Delsarte, ending with a live
ly reel.
The hour that succeeded' this was de
voted to an enjoyable piano recital by
Miss Snell, who rendered compositions by
Schumann, Chopin and other composers
of the romantic schotl.
And then came one of the most charming-
children's entertainments that has
probably ever been given In Portland.
This was the Lullabies of the Nations, by
the primary department, under the di
rection of Miss Cannon and Mrs. Walter
Reed. About 20 of these little folks,
gowned In Irresistibly pretty costumes,
after the fashion of various natlonaltles,
Norwegian, French, German, Italian, ne
gro and Japanese, sang the famous lulla
bies of the world to their babies. It made
a charming picture, the curly-haired,
fresh-cheeked 7-year-olds In gay peasant
costume, each rocking a big doll in her
arms. The enunciation of the foreign
tongues was wonderfully perfect. In addl
t.on to the national songs there- was an
opening chorus and march, "Dance Lit
tle Baby, Dance Up High," a solo,
Weber's "WIegcn:icd," by a little round,
faced German Gretchen, Flora Fentz
llng, and a goodnight song by a group of
small maidens In white nightgowns, with
candles in their hands, the words of the
song being interspersed with many a
yawn. Those present gave demonstration
of their approval in no uncertain fash
ion, for the pretty effects of the cos
tumes, the fresh, childish voices, and the
mothcrlike ways of the little folks com.
pletcly carried the audience by storm.
In the evening the musical department
engaged the attention of visitors, an un
usually varied programme being present
ed. The piano pupils of Miss Snell and
Miss Hugglns, the vocal pupils of Mrs.
Reed, and the violin pupils of Mrs. Sher
man Brown combined to give solos, duets,
trios, single and double quartets, that
kept the hearers' interest busily occupied
for two hours.
At the conclusion of the programme,
while good-nights, were being said, there
was the usual discussion ol Summer plans
and changes, and there will be still more
tonight after the graduating exercises are
over. Quite a number of the teachers will
return next year: Mis? Mabel Lanyon,
Instructor In English, will be back after
spending the Summer at her home near
Chicago: Hiss Dewey (mathematics) will
return: Miss Curtain, from Columbia Col
lege, who has had charge of the Interme
diate department, will be transferred to
science. In place of Miss Vale, one of the
most valued teachers the Hall has had,
who intends to take a much-needed year's
rest abroad. She will make a brief visit
to Toronto, Canada, from there going
to London, England. A considerable part
of her Winter will be spent at Heidelberg,
Germany. Mlsij Catherine Gove (Latin
and Greek) Is as yet uncertain as to her
plans. As she Is still very young and
has a promising career before her, her
father who Is head of the Carey Col
legiate Institute for Boys, Oaklleld, N.
Y. desires her to finish her college edu
cation. She will therefore defer a posi
tive answer until she can confer with him
on the subject. Miss Cannon, head of
the primary department, one of the
strongest teachers on the force, will re
turn. The musical department will next
year be In charge of Miss Hernlng, who
has now finished her leave of absence, the
time having been spent In renewed study
of the Virgil Clavier system. Miss Snell.
who has taken her place for the past year,
will return to her Boston home.
The art department will next year be In
charge of Miss Florence Pearce, whose
sound English training admirably fits her
for the position. Miss Valentine Prichard,
head of the kindergarten training de
partment, and superintendent of the pub
lic school kindergartens, will Summer at
Berkeley, Cai., there to take up a course
of child study under Dr. John Dewey
(pedagogy), of the University of Chicago.
Miss Curtail? will spend her vacation In
her New York home, and Miss Hugglns.
of the musical department, will Summer at
Pacific Grove. Cal. Miss Tlbbetts herself
will probably leave for New York about
July 15. The school year which will close
tonight with six graduates has been a
prosperous and happy one.

NEED STEAM?
The Place to Get It Is From Selected
Food.
It Is good to know the kind of food
those with weak stomachs and hearts can
get along with for when a man or woman
is a little below par, an easily digested
food Is the thing that goes right to the
spot.
A man In KIrksville, Mo., tells how he
got out of trouble by using Grape-Nuts
Food. He says: "My trouble was intense
suffering In the stomach. It was called
gastralgla, but no medicine gave any per
manent relief. In June of last year I
began to grow much worse In every re
spect. I was terribly constipated and
the stomach pains were severe. I ran
down until I weighed only 120 pounds.
I had to give up my business, for my
nerves were completely unstrung and I
could not sleep more than two or three
hours during the night, and that only by
snatches during" a lull In the pain.
"I tried almost every kind of food, but
finally was put on Grape-Nuts and In a
little while It began to make Its worth
known. I began to sleep better nights,
my strength gradually camback, and I
gained In weight rapidly until a little
while ago I weighed 165 'pounds and
have been a well man for months, with
never a touch of the old trouble.
"My bowels are perfect, the nervous
trouble has gone. You can realize I
apreclate the value of Grape-Nuts
Food. Don't publish my name, but you
can give It In private correspondence and
I will take pleasure In answering the
betters."
This Is another evidence of the prac
tical worth of Grape-Nuta Food In cases
of weak stomach and bad digestion. It
Is the most scientifically made food in
existence and contains absolutely noth
ing but selected parts of the field grains !
so cooked and prepared as to admit of j
almost immediate digestion and assimila
tion, carrying with It the elements fur- :
nlshed by the All Wise Creator for re- '
building the nervous system, the soft part
of- the brain and the solar plexus.
When 'one get3 from food what the
body needs, It Is easy to get well and
keep well.

"I would like to express my jfratitude
for the benefit received from your won
derful medicine, 'Jjavoritc Prescrip
tion,' " writes Mrs, H. C. Anderson, of
South Britain, New Haven Co., Conn..
(Box 33). "Durinjr the first month of
pregnancy I could not keep anything
on my stomach. Was so sick that I
had to go to bed and stay for weeks. I
tried different .doctors, but with little
benefit. I read about many being
helped by using your medicine ao I
thought I would give it a trial. I be
gan to take your ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' in November and I had a nice
little baby girl in February following.
My baby weighed over eight pounds.
I was only in hard labor about one
hour and got along nicely during con
finement; was up and dressed on the
eighth day. I never had the doctor
with me at all. My friends thought
that I was sick a very short time. I
think t)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is indeed a mother's true fricna,
for it helped me wonderfully."
