In many towns west of tho Cascade mountains Ihe mud Is hub-deep In the loads more than half tho year, whore the question of centralized schools is being discussed. Movements for tho betterment ot tho present educa tional 3ystem are strongly character lytic of tho people of Oregon today and worthy of the heartiest approval and co-operation at all times, but any educational change under tho present pernicious road system, which will dispense with the district school, should be most carefully considered by those most Interested betoro ac tlon Is taken one way or the other. The years como and go without wit nesslng nny permanent Improvements to the country roads and It Is qitltn evident that tho' little district school houso by tho waysldo, the Startlur point of many n man now prominent in public life will be with us for a long tliro to come. The greatest nnd most serious ob stnelo to educational progress by ceil' tralizing schools In the districts of Oiegon is tho lack of good roads.

Court street, opposite the Golden Rule Hotel roads have largely been built by Ger man capital, under contracts so un reasonably severe that Venezuela finds It Impossible to fulfil all their provisions. As a forfeiture, for- non-complfance with these stringent provisions, tho German subjects demanded vast grants of land In the richest portion of the government these grants amounting to more than the entire cost of tho railroads. Venezuela offered to arbitrate the claims; she was willing to pay her Just debts; she was In the midst of a revolution and could 111 afford to invito trouble from without. Tho German subjects took sides In the revolution, Instigated the rioters and sought to overthrow the last vestige of order in that government, in hopes of being able to seize and hold some of tho most valuable concessions of land, as pay for their services, and as a foothold they had long sought to acquire. They were captured while In arms against the government, and then it was that Germany hatched up her theory of an Insult., and an nihilated the navy of Venezuela. For two months the German war ves sels have hovered over tho Venezue lan coasts, awaiting the shadow of of an empire, ' to trace the splendid story of tho Columbia of today, is a work that only these pioneers of the West are equal to. To illustrate the process of evolu tion through which this Northwest territory has passed, since that day, and to display its wealth of resource and culture, its variety of riches.
