B. Dinwiddle, County School Superintendent. The desire tor , belter school i'acilites ai this place is a natural one for the residents of tuis district, and especially for hose who have children ad vanced beyond the public gchool grades taught here. That such a desire on their part should have aroused the oppo sition of the county school supeiihtendetit can only be t-xplained on the theory that Sti.eriu leaden t Ihuwiddie's policy is to oppose the growth and extension of school lacili ties in other sections ot the county, 111 the interest of Priiie vilie auu its high cchuoi. It i Just such offensive partisanship on the part of otliciais ot Crook County time has tended lu i create the present inharmoni ous relations which exist be tween Frineviile and the western portion 01 the county, ami it is to be regretted that the educational" interests of the County could not have been kept out ol these sectional "rows." Those who have been pro moting the plan lor a district, or, if pus&ibe, a union district high school have done so be cause they ieit that such an institution was needed in this locality, which is admittedly the most populous section of tup county. There are children i. .1. ... 1 it. . . i in una jocaiuy, ana quite a supporting a high school filial become exempt from the count1 high school tax in this count' it shall own a $25,000 school mulcting and be equip ped with $5000 worth of fui ni ture. The law merely says that tho school shall be ''equivalent in ellioieiioy." A high school at Madras would not expect to start oil with that high a stand aid, nor to attain it for seveia ears, but the growth of th- W 1 school would in time make that pussiDle, and meantime the patrons of me high school d not cate to have economy preached to them by theii school superintendent, at the expense of their educational talilities. Talk of economy in eountv taxation comes with ban grace Iroin Piineville and its. partisans, anyhow, in the face of tho recent absolute ovei riding of the public's wishes in the extravagant expenditure being made lor a new court house. The law under which the effort is being made to establish a high school at this place was passed at the last Legislature for the relief of school district situated just as this and othei adjoining districts are districts so situated avail themselves 01 its provis ions was contemplated when the law was piisaed. Although the law does not make it obhg atpry upon the county Si horn superintendent to support such a move, it doubtless presumei upon Ins impartial interest ii all sections of the Count' tt dictate that support. oral centimes younger than somo of the Oregon trees. At. numoious points in Central Oregon there aro patriarchal junipers which began lifting thoir branches heavenward n.oro than fiOO oars betoro Christ came on Earth. Aside from a railroad into tho state there is nothing in Central Ote against tho Prinovillo school. We admit) wo nntst go accord' ing to Itiv. Wo did not intend to go any other way. We also know it will cost something to do these things, but as long as we go according to law, .and if wo choose to maintain a high school here In joining in with several of tho nearby districts, it is your place, Mr. Diuwiddie, to give us such aid and help as the iaw provides, tathor than to try and kuoci; it out.

I iiutiiuer 01 uiem too, wuo nave j reservation, passed tho grades taught by our public schools, aiid whose parents do not care to or do not feel able to send them away from home to attend the Prine vibe High School. We real ize that there will be an addi tional tax to support the local high school, but we are willing to pay it, and wo believe that a majority of the people of the distiict will be willing to pay it, in order to secure better school facilities. There are a number of adjoining districts in this section of the county, none of them more than one or two hours drive from this place, and if it is possible to do so, we would have 'preferred to form a union high school dis trict. It was for the purpose of .ascertaining what opposition .liere would bo to such a pro ject, that the proposal was STORY NOT BELIEVED HERE Questioned legarding ill storv published in last Friday's Poitland Journal, reflecting upon the present administra tion of a Hairs upon t'te Warm spring Indian Reservation, Superintendent Covey stated while here last Tuesday, that 1 he storv was iurnislled the .Journal's correspondent by a disgruntled ex-employe of the hostilih 'submitted to other districts. whose towards the present supeiin t&ndeiit had manifested itself in numerous attempts to cause double and discord between him and tlnj Indians on the reservation. As to the charges contained in the Journal's story. Mr. Covey would be inclined ! laugh at them did they not reliect upon him personally and officially, so ridiculous and in consistent with facts are they. He states that he will ver gladly welcome an investiga tion of his administration at any time, and since the publi cation of the highly-colored story in the Journal, he has asked, that an inspector be seni to investigate the charges. In connection with the Jour nal's story, or rather in contra diction of it, it may be stated that Mr. Covey enjoys the rep utation at this place, the near est town to tho airencv. and Certainly, opposition was not, where he is quite well known of expected from the County , School Superintendent, whose position should have made him the champion of any effort to extenu the educational facilities of this section or any other section of Crook County. As to the cost of the district high school, the provision of the law regarding the character of the school necessary before exemption from ' the county :.. high school tax is obtained, was well known to those who are urging the matter here. And, incidentally it may ho said that they are among the heaviest taxpayers of the district. This paper will not agree with Mr. being an exceptional!' compe tent and conscientious official, whose administration of affairs upon the reservation is of the highest order, lie is highly esteemed by the businessmen ol of the town, personally and officially and the Journal's story is generally disbelieved.
