The question of the salaries of the teachers in the country districts is n interesting , one. For .example, (his little acW4 'district is I to , pajf $55. It is probable that the young lady teacher who takes the place Will secure excellent board and lodg ing for a sum, any where btween S and $16 per month. This leaves her $40 or more after these "main items are paid. I There really are no other (expenses, and In ' the' country the tjuestion of attire is not of the same Importance that 4t would be in As toria or Portland. Probably in As toria or . Portland there are many teachers who would be glad if they tould save $40 dear after all their bepentes are paid. -ITenoe-it appears I'M the teacher who accepts 1 some modest little school in the country need nojlhinjc that her sisters who arc struggling away in -one city school, trying o please the principal, the Superintendent' and , perhaps a critical board and working within the' 'fn bound rule! of a course of stydy, arc, really sq very much ahead of ben It is aaid that the only draw back n! the country school is ; j the lonesomeness which l befalls some of the young ladies who are city bred, but those who know how to adapt themselves usually can' nave', more fun than is dreamt, of in bigger towns and cities, it is said, and at the end of the year, are not necessarily on the verge of nervous prostration from worry and overwork. r . ..

" ' , j I The boy bad been sic& for quite fime, ni there .had" been no medical attendance. Yesterday afternoon Dr, Pilkington was finally called in, through the mediation of a druggist, and he believed than an operation was necessary at once if the China boy's life was to be saved, la an hour ihe lad was jn the hospital and on the surgeon's table. Lum Chack's father is Lap Wai spelled phonetically and he is aaid ol J Ul,i?9 J""" lf The boy, if ;i bright youth, and Mrs. Barry, the principal of the Shively , school, where he at- tends, say that he is beloved of the tcatfcers ws4 ; his i companions, and that he is as good an American boy as one would wish to find. The boy's father was willing to do anything to save his son's' Jife, but the,' Chinese seem to know little or nothing of modern surgery tod its possibilities, and U was' with some difficulty that he could be prevailed upon to con sent to the operation. Finally his consent was gained. But three of the father's friends, grave and ; serious minded Chinese, ; went to the hos pital to' see that all was done well Dr. Pilkington, tinderstanding. their doubts and feart, decided ' to permit them to observe the operation a very- tmusual course. lie bade them stand off to one aide and not to stir while he cut Into the lad's body with his sharp knife. During the operation the ..three men stood, there .as if . carved of stone. Tbey made no movement, though" the whole operation must have appeared extraordinary and al most barbarous to them; But they saw the surgeon wished them to see. The case was ft bad one matter had formed in large quantities, and the intestines of the little chap were in deplorable condition. They saw the surgeon calmly ; and with ' sure ' fin gers deftly perform just what he set about to do, and saw him cleanse everything and leave the boy's "in sides" as clean and nice as a boy's interior should be. .. V All this they saw without moving. Then they saw the boy : return to consciousness, and heard the sur geon tell them; that now the lad had an excellent chance to live. Natur ally the event was much discussed among the Chinese residents of As toria last night, and it is to be hoped that today the good news can be made even stronger.

The following communication reached this office last evening and is published because of 't peculiar pertinence: "Astoria, Oct, 27, .1908. "Editor Astorian: Since I was boy I was taught that all men were created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights. My mind has been disabused of the truth of that fundamental principle - by at tending Tony Smith's rump conven tion held at Logan's hall on Monday evening. I was surprised to see so large a conclave of business men and to representative an element of the best citizens of Astoria. There were Democrats, who had registred as Republicans, Tony Smith, and Re publicans , who registered properly, but who were the fiduciary agents of Tony number of Civic Improvers and several politicians. It was a comedy farce, in four acts.' Pursuant to a jriate put up m tne omce ot a M. Smith on Monday afternoon, the faithful and the unrcgenesate filled the ' halt to overflowing that is, if the vqtc polled is any indication, and pursuant to pre-arranged plans, Dr. Alfred Kinney called the meeting to order and Tony moved. that he b ejccttit chairman. , You never saw more surprised man that 'Doc' at the 'unexpected honor heaped upon him .by a 'non-partisan convention.' Then Tony made a motion in fact, he made nearly all the motions (he was the whole cheese), that a com' mittee of three be appointed on or der of business and a committee of three on platform, . ! "The doctor wal again ' surprised and didn't hardly know who to ap pointalthough he had the names on a slip of paper before him. -The committees suggested by Tony were duly appointed and retired for de liberation and shortly reported and the reports were adopted. The plan was to leave the nomination for mayor to the last, 'as there were too many Republicans in the hall and it might Spoil the ,slate.j A few band outs were given of unimportant of fices to the Republicans, the Demo crats keeping all the paying " offices to themselves, which is characteristic of all 'Citizens' conventions. ' "The various wards were then di vided '.. off and went' Into sepa rate .conventions. I attended ' the ccond Toward,' land istood at the door. There were just 61 voters in the room. A prominent man attempt ed to call the meeting to order but Tony slipped out and brought in ed to call the meeting to order bin 'Doc' and he did the business. The Democratic incubator got to work as soon as the ballots were passed around and returned good interest on the investment. Out of 61 members pres ent 263 votes were cast. Of course it was impossible to get that num ber of men in the ante room, but the vote were there, because Doc an nounced the result., I only voted one ballot, but a man that stood along side of me put in 20, and an Astor street saloonkeeper put in 6. They were Democrats and I was after wards informed that voting in bunches was characteristic of the Democratic party. I believe it, now,: from occular demonstration. ' "After the four ward fiascos were completed, a large number of Repub licans left the hall. Tony sent rhe and another politician around the hall to see how things ' looked! Up to 4 o'clock he'was a Bergman man Land a candidate for police commis sioner. Someone put him next, that the police commission was o be abolished and not having held office for over' six months, he was per suaded, much against his will so he sas to run for mayor. He had promised Ike to stay with him until the roof caved in. He nominated Ike but " had his agents distributed through the hall with a pocket full of small, white ballots, and judging: from the size of the vote, there were very few left.' 1 There vi-ere just 206 people in the hall when the vote was taken and there were 331 votes cast. This is what a prominent man told rSey ('w'ith :: Denibtratic " simplicity. Three men in: the back part of the hall cast a majority of these ballots for' Tony.'; ; ' ; . ':' ' ' ' '" "When the vote was announced Ike didn't know whether a cyclone liad struck him or he Was a victim of circumstances. Tony tried to ex plain, but Ike was inconsolable. He had been jobbed and he knew it and he knows who did it. J 'Now, the taxpayers, the hotKSi citizens of Astoria, will be c;,l!rd j'upnn to' dect Tony Smith's ticket. If i ftucceiifitl. it '.vi!l f... a tv.litii-iil atwl not a business administration. The actions of the convention are proof positive of this fact. It is doubtful if the broad-minded citizens, those interested In the upbuilding and growth of the city, where taxes are nearly seven per cent, will ratify the action of the .rump convention at the polls on the 9th day of Decem ber. It may take them a week to recover from their surprise as j to what a smooth politician can do, but they have over a month for prayer ful consideration, and it is to be hoped that the disreputable methods adopted at the mass meeting Mon day night will receive the condemna tion they des'erve at the hands of the voters in December. If not, then, far well to Astoria. , , "SPECTATOR."
