During the year ending June 1902. we
registered In school 18.596 pupils, this
year we registered 17.692. an Increase of
six and six tenths over last year. The
average number of pupils attending each
day during the' school year was 13.662.
These were taught by 466 teachers
whose salaries aggregated $299,984.20.

average monthly salaries show a notice

those of the women from 66.40 to $69

been quite general in our suburban and

When Lincoln came in, the old lion
stood at the front. He was a handsome,
distinguished man In appearance. But
even as a high dlplamatist, and subse
quently as a soldier, he lacked modera
tion and self-restraint. His character,
spirit and method belonged to feudal
times. He was by no means without
ability and oulture. Man to man, he
was away above the average.
His failure to Improve the opportun

The most dangerous delusion placed
before those who contemplate insuring
their lives in fraternal societies is the
so-called reserve fund, which Is only a
name applied to a sum of money which,
In nearly every case, Is wholly lnade
quate for a reserve fund. A reserve
fund which is not sufficiently large for
the requirements Is misleading and dan
gerous to those who are not posted In
insurance statistics. It Is not an un
common thing to hear the agents of
societies boast of their reserve fund
when the total assets of his society
amount to less than $10 per member.
Each Individual dead member of the
United Artisans leaves in the reserve
fund an average of $120 per $1,000 in
surance drawn by his beneficiary. When
Its plan shall be fully matured its re
serve fund will contain $100 for each
$1,000 insurance in force. Its plan will
not be fully matured until it shall have
as many dead members as living mem
bers. If a person becomes a member of
the United Artisans and remains only 15
minutes in the society he leaves at
least 0 cents in the reserve fund for
ever, on Interest, for the benefit of those
who come later. This Illustration will
give you a slight understanding of the
solid foundation on which the United
Artisans rests. Immense sums of money
are being accumulated through lapses
and Interest, ' no part of which comes
from the pockets of Its existing mem
bers.

John. Barrett Writes on "The
Importance of Pacific Com
merce" for Magazine.
Hon. John Barrett of this city, for
mer United States Minister to Slam, and
recently appointed Minister to Argen
tlna, has written an article entitled,
The Importance of Our Pacific Com
merce," for the coming issue or tne i;o
lumbia River Journal. Mr. Barrett pre
diets a mamm'oth trade with the Orient
Wltnin tne next lew years.
In speaking of the growth of the Pa
clflc Ocean Commerce and the trade of
Japan the writer says:
"America's greatest opportunity in
commercial expansion will bis In lands
bordering upon -the Pacific The coun-
thls fact The Spanish War, with our
occupation in the Philippines, has awak
ened Americans to an appreciation of
the mightiness of the Far East. The re
cent outbreak in China aroused the
world to an understanding of the lat
est possibilities of that great kingdom.
The marvelous progress of Japan has
proved that Asiatics have unlimited
capabilities. The federation in Aus
tralia has Inaugurated a new era of poli
tics and bommeree in the South Pacific.
The .nations of South and Central Amer.
lea bordering on the Pacific are enter
ing upon a period of increased material
possibility. The Pacific Coast States
of the United States are looking out
upon the Pacific for the same great ben
efits that have come to the Eastern
Bfates from looking out upon the At
lantic. As soon as the Trans-Isthmian
Canal Is cut between the Atlantic and
the Pacific the progress that will be
made In the development of Pacific com
merce will be almost beyond our pres
ent anticipation, especially If we con
struct a Pacific cable and Improve pur

"Lest I seem to be a dreamer predict
ing Impossibilities, let us look a little
Into the actual Indisputable conditions
and consider the figures of the presen.
A lesson can first be drawn from Ja
Only about 30 years ago, or hardly
than a generation, Japan's entireiVor
elgn trade, exports and Imports,
amounted to only $30,000,000, or prac
tically $1 per head. At that time many
of our Ministers and Consuls stated that
they did not think Japan would ever de
velon a. lars-e forelarn exchange of com
modities, and spoke as disparagingly as
some men do now of ChlnaJBoppffr S
tunlties. What has happened during
these 30 years? Today Japan's foreign
trade reaches nearly $300,000,000, or 10
times what It was then in dollars, or
nearly $7 per head. This statement
can further be strengthened by an ap
preciation of accepted opinion that this
sum of $300,000,000 will go on in the
near future to $500,000,000."
