Tho admiral then left the hall amid a groat commotion. FEVER EPIDEMIC. Breaks Out at Stanford University Thirty Cases Reported. Palo Alto, April IS.

Chicago Wheat, Chicago, April 18. Wheat 77 conts per bushel. Large Proportion of Farmers Who Come to Pendleton Do So for the Benefit of Our Schools. Lee Teutsch 1 am very much in favor of tho bonds. We need the extra room and facilities this prop osition provides for, and can 111 afford to turn down anything for the promo tion of better schools. Tho basement now being utilized for a school room, and tho old academy building arc either unfit from a sanitary stand point, or else shabby and destitute of conveniences, and the condition cannot be adequately remedied with the expenditure of any reasonable amount of Incidental funds. Tho ad ditional tax which this proposition would impose will not bo a burden comparable with tho benefits. These bonds need not bear more than 44 per cent Interest. We havo already had intimations that the proposed issue will bo taken at 4. I 'lo not consider that this amount of money can possibly be put to any better use. No Excuse for Opposition. Dr. C. J. Smith I don't see how the retailers and small business men can see their way clear to vote against this proposition. Such a largo proportion of farmers and of people from the small outlying towns come here to give their children the benefit of our very excellent schools that that element must be considered and likewise the money they spend here, and the fact that a number of them have built residences here for the sole purpose of residing here and sending their children to school, and the further fact that more will do so if the bonds carry who will not If tboy aro defeated. By tho secession from our midst of this element In the event the bonds are defeated, this town will lose 10' per cent of its val ues before another school year be gins. Let not those who are figuring closely frnm a business standpoint forgen that tho law gives tho district tho first option on Its own bond Issues, nnd that if tho district falls to tako up its own loan that the county treasurer then shall Bell to the highest bidder. Hut really, my argument and conclusions arc so well known that to nuoto them further would bo superfluous. H. F. Johnson I favor the neces sary accommodations for the schools, but favor Issuing script rather than bonds to raise tho money. W. E. Brock I havo nothing to say for quotation. Makeshifts Expensive, Haer & Daley The makeshifts wo are now mittlnc un with in the con duct of our schools aro an expensive luxury, as makeshifts usually aro, ami as they will continue to bo if wo de pend upon them. I do not believe in two-room cotiago schoolhouses, but in eight and tcn-rooin buildings as more economical to heat and tako care of In other ways. Tho larger buildings iro cheaper in tho long run as long as nono of their rooms remain vacant. I am really surprised that some of our loading business men aro opposed to tho proposition. Our schools havo already brought to the city farmers who buy lots and build houses, and others who nro routers, and these people all patronlzo the business men. Further, If wo can not offer them Increased facilities better facilities, If you please, than we now have, and proportioned to the growth of the town's population, these neonlo will go elsowhoro. They , will go where they can get the school advantages which tncy wnnt. SALMON ARE SMALL, But the Quality Is Excellent and the Quantity Great, Astoria. Ore.. April 18. The deliv ery of fish to tlio canneries Thursday was much greater than on tho corres ponding day of last season, and every tannery on tho river was In opera tion. This makes an excellent out look, and with tho prospect of eook Inir AbIi ovorv dav from the opening of tho season an unusual condition is presented, ns this early it lias ueen customary to cook fish not oftencr than every other day. The amount or gear already in uie water Is small and docs not represent 30 per cent of the glllnctters, while the traps and seines hnvc done noth ing vet. Tlio salmon aro very small, not averaging over 10 cr 12 pounds, but their quality is of the highest, ns is customary thin early in tlio season. FROM BALL FIELD TO PULPIT.

(Concluded on page 12.) NEW ARMORED CRUISER WEST VIRGINIA Miss Ashton Wilson Christened the Warship, Which Will be One of the Fastest Afloat. Newport News, Va., April 18. It s estimated that 25,000 people wit nessed the launching here today of the armored cruiser West Virginia. It was almost noon when the big ship glided from the ways to take its place in the list of tho American navy. A distinguished party attended the event, headed by Governor White of West Virginia and his olllclal staff, and Including the West Virginia sen ators and representatives and promi nent officers of tlio army and navy who came from Washington. The christening ceremony was performed by Miss Katherino White, daughter of the West Virginia governor, and who had as her maids of honor, her sisters, the Misses Grace and Ethel White and Miss Ashton Wilson, daughter of ex-Governor Wilson. As the sound of the hammer under the Wett Virginia's keel slowly died away the waiting multitude was breathless in anticipation of the rap Idly approaching moment when the 5000 tons of shapely constructed ar mor would leave the ways, Suddenly from the depths below came the measured sound of a saw. As though by magic command every sound was hushed and a stillness fell over the expectant mass of humanity; every ear was strained to hear the sound of the mightv steel blade as it slowly out Its way Into tho large oak plank which alone separated tho s iding and the greased ways. As tho bottle of champagno was surrendered to Miss White the silence that pervaded the yard was oppressive. Suddenly there was a snap, tho crackling of timber, and for an Instant the mon ster hull quivered on its bed. Gathering strength and clutching tho gaylv decked bottle more firmly as the ship started down the greased ways. Miss White, the proudest young woman In America, quickly broke the bottle against the receding bow. As the beautifully decorated bottle wijb crushed into a thousand fragments against the lmpressionlcss steel prow of tho mighty warrior the fair sponsor drew a breath of gratulatlon and from her parted lips with woman ly sweetness fell tho words: I chris ten thee West Virginia." Tho great cruiser, radiant with bunting, red, white and blue, swept gracefully down to meet the blue wa ters of the James, and in their em braco complete tho symbol of the starry flag. Cheering was Incessant and the a!r was laden with caps anil hats as the enthusiastic multitude gave full vent to their patriotic feel ings. The big hull had meaiiwhllo floated gracefully out to midstrciim where she was brought to and an chored. For a quarter of an hour the tugs and other small craft with which the river was filled kept up an inces sant tooting of their whistles in honor of the latest addition to Undo Sam's navy. When everyone had finished cheering the christening party, num bering 500 persons, boarded tlio steamboat Newport News which con ducted them .to Old Point Comfort. Hero they were the guests at nu elaborate banquet furnished by Cal vin B. Orcutt, president of the Now port Nows Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, the builders of tho West Virginia and a number of tlio other crack cruisers and battleships of the United States navy. The cruiser launched today, when completed, will bo ono of tho fastest ships In the service. Shu will bo 502 feet over all, nearly 70 feet beam, will displace more than 15,000 tons, nnd draw 24 feet of water. Two sets of triple expansion engines will de velop 23,000 horse power, which will drive her at a speed of 22 knots. Hur bunker capacity will bo 1850 tons, and she will carry 43 offlceri) and 783 men. An armor belt, six Inches thick at the maximum, will protect her, nnd four 8-Inch guns In turrets will con stitute her main battery. Fourteen G-lnch rapld-flro guns will make up her broadsides, and she will carry a secondary battery of 18 3-incli, two 3-pounders, four 1-pounder rnpld-flrc, six Colt automatics, two machine cuns. and two 3-Inch field pieces.
