that Consul-General Lee advlees Ameri

Havana, as war is likely to commence at
any time. The American government
is having its torpedo boats put in shape
for early orders, and the Spanish cruiser
Viscaya will leave New York today.
The departure is not considered the best
sign of hasty peace.
Since the concert and foot-ball game
are things of the past, those who had
part in the same and who will assiet in
the club performance will be able to de
vote much more time to the latter, and
it will be ready to put on some time
about the middle of March. The boys
are determined not to put it on until
every character is thoroughly trained to
his part, and whenever it comes off it
will be well worth seeing.

A FLATTERING7 SUCCESS.

liy Keryuie I'rvxeiit.
Ah is always the case In our city, the
pioduction of home talent was well at
tended last night, and owing to the ex
cellence of the program in arrangement
and execution, it delighted every mem
ber of the large audience.
Many of the characters were attired in
costumes which had been worn by their
grandmothers, the others imitating so
well the dress of ye olden time, that the
effect was very pleasing, especially in
the grand inarch as they came on the
stage, "
From the singing of the first number,
"Old FolkB at Home," which sounded
very pretty, being rendered behind the
scences and producing a far-away effect,
until the entertainment concluded with
the chorus so beautiful and dear to all,
"Home, Sweet Home," scarcely u uotiee
able error wus made by unyone.
Several beautiful solos, a very pleas
ing duett, a number of quartets and
two selections by the ladies were sung
in an excellent manner, while the
"choruses were exceptionally fine and
showed what careful training everyone
mUBt have undergone to attain such a
degree of perfection, To comment on
each number as It justly merits would
be a stupendous task, while discrimina
tion cannot be made between the differ
eut numbers. To say that It la tbe con
census of opinion of all present that the
performance was successfully put on iu

Not only was it a success in the man

THE FOOT-BALL "GAME
After a
Hard Strueele It Ilenulteil in
a Draw Six to Six.
An excited crowd of over 500 people
assembled at the fair ground; yesterday
leoDlei
afternoon to witness the foot-ball game
between the Willamettes and the Dalles
team.laSr.
The home team had the Tdcloff, and
after about fifteen minutes hard play
ing, during which time our boys made a
number of plays they might well feel
proud of, they succeeded in scoring a '
touch-down and goal. When time was ,
called L.r the first half, both teams were
in the center of the gridiron, and from i
the way the Willamettes were playing, .
it was hard to say who would win. in i
spite of the advantage in points which
the home team had.
In this half two of the Dalles players.
Kelly and Clarke, were disabled; but in ;
'spite of the fact that their injuries were j
very painful, they refused to quit the,
gridiron and made some splendid plays 1
toward the end of .the game.
In the second half Portland kicked off, !
and for a time the game rested on ai
balance. The visiting team found out, i
however, that end plays could not sue-,
cesafully bo made, and they began to
bunt their way towards the Dalles goal. !
This method, owing to the powerful I
riiBhcs of Hamilton, their left end,j
proved very efi'ectual, and they slowly J
forced their way to the goal, and sue-1
Jeeded, after a hard struggle, in making!
a touchdown and goal, scoring six and
funking the game a tie, i
After this the Dalles boys had posses-1
ion of the hall until the end of the j
game, and when time was called were i
Within the Portland's 25-yard line, and
bn a fair way to score again. Consider
ing that our boys have played so little,

they are not a team to he scoffed at.
The spectators were intensely excited,
and It was with difficulty that they were

fair throughout, and both players and
spectators were well satisfied.
THE VOTING- QUESTION.

The clerks of the several school dis
tricts of the county in reporting the
number of leal voters in their district,
should he governed by the decision of
the supreme court, and report both
father and mother, where they have
children of school age to educate.
Heretofore there has been a difference
of opinion on the very important ques
tion, "Who are legal voters in a school
district?" The question has been agi
tating the minds of the people in the
past, and said agitation has grown more
intense.

11 who are concernedc, (county super-
tendents and boards of directors of the
chool districts throughout the 6tate), to
the strict statement of the letter of the
law. Section 43, school law edition,
states :
"First Any citizen of this Btate'shall
be entitled to a vote in a school meeting
who is 21 years of age, and has resided
in the district thirty days immediately
receedlng the meeting, and who has
roperty in the district upon which he
'or she pays a tax, or has children of
school age to educate; but this section
shall not be applicable to districts hav
ing a population of one thousand and
upward."-
"Second In all school districts in
this state with a population of one
thousand and upward, any citizen of
this state shall be entitled to a vote at
school meeting who is 21 years of age,
and has resided in the district thirty
days immediately preceeding the meet
ing, and who has property in the dis
trict upon which he or she pays a tax."
The matter of women voting has, dur
ing the last year, been going through
the courts, and reached a decision in the
form of an opinion of the full court,
handed down by Wolverton, J., Febru
ary 14, 1898, in the case of Laura A.
Harris vs. Sherwood Burr ct al, of the
school district of the city of Eugene,
Lane county. Oregon.
Said Laura A. Harris offered to vote
at a school meeting held iu Eugene,
March, 1897, and said vote was refined,
whereupon said Laura A. Harris began
action against said judges of election.
The circuit com t of Lane county sus
tained the right of tax-paying women to
vote, and the case was appealed to
the supreme court, which couit afllrmed
the decision of the court below. It is
therefore established that in all school
districts, women who have property in
their own name, upon which they per
sonally pay tax, are over 21 years- of age
and have resided in the district thirty
days immediately preceeding said meet
ing, are entitled to vote.
As the law in the case- of districts
having a population of one thousand In
habitants provides that having taxable
property and paying tax thereon is a
condition of the right to vote, it is evi
dent no one can vote in said district who
does not own property and pay taxes
thereon as provided by law.
In regard to school districts of a popu
lation of less than one thousand, thu
law provides other conditions of the right
to vote.
All who can vole in districts of a pop
ulation of over one thousand can vote in
all other districts, but it is also provided
that in the lesser districts persons who
are parents of children of school age,
even though they have no taxable prop
erty, can vote. This, according to thu
opinion given by the attorney. general,
applies to both father and mother.
For thu proper and legal transaction
of business of school districts, and es
pecially iu the matter of school elections,
this article should be studied and kept
on file in the school clerk's office for thu
Information of the school hoards.
