The voters also declared in fa vor of selling the bonds under subdivis ion il of section tmd of tho Code, which provides that the bonds, may be sold in the open market by the County Treas urer, for the benefit of tho district. The bonus eolu'in this manner will net the district not less than the face value of the bonds. In' fact, a Portland firm of bond brokers have already made an offer of a small premium more than the face1 valne of tho bonds, and it is likely that they will be sold to this firm. The maiority favorable to . the bond issue wns a great surprise to all, ae there has been some opposition to the meas ure and at a former meetinsr held for the purpose of getting the sentiment of the district upon the question of a bond issue, the nronosition was overwhelm inglyrf defeated. That meeting was in formally held, however, and many of the friends of the proposed bond issue did not attend the meeting because they realized -that Its action would not be binding, At Saturday's meeting there was 51 votes, and all but 11 of these voted for the bond issue, The proceeds of the bond issue will be uaen in nuiiujng a new wnoouiouso in the Madras district, which has been made necessary by the growth of the Madras school in the laBt year. A mod ern and conveniently arranged bnildiiiii will bo put up, and it will be large enouen to accommodate tho nrpnt school and provide for its expected grunui in me iew yearB. uie uuildinc will bo constructed on a nlan bo thnt additions can be mado later without disarranging tho general plan of the nuiiumg, tiiereny providing for increas ing the CanncltV Of thn Rclinnl u-ltlinnt any great expense to the district.

" Thp nlan of Mr. Isaacs, as outlined to . - .... a number of business men and nromir nent farmers of this section, was most , favorably received and he was riven a . coed deal of enconrasrement for his nrot ject while here.

Mr, Isaacs says that he believes the Madras: country will produce as good, or even better wheat than thai nroduced in Sherman county, from a miller's sjand-. point, and 1io predicts a ereat future for this district as a milling point. While here Mr. Isaacs was asked aa ' to the best varieties of wheat for milliner purposes, and in reply stated that little!.' club and blue stem were thn lmnnm milling varietiee. He also Etated thht' forty-fold was not equal to the blnn stem for family flour, and that the Httto club or red chaff was the leader for tlm strong export grades of flour.
