High School Can Be Continued In Operation Without Interruption- Possible Agreement In Sight Un der Which a Building and Refund Ing Bond Proposition Can Be Car ried Without Serious Opposition Tho school board held a meeting last night at which some interesting and Important business was trans acted. Tho board has been waiting for several days to hear from Stato Superintendent Ackerman on tho status of tho Pendloton high school and yesterday the answer came. Professor Ackerman holds that the school can bo continued under the present management, and that no changes are necessary in tho corps of teachers or in tho manage ment of tho school in any way. Ho holds that the high scnool was not formed, strictly speaking, according to the law, and therefore the techni callttes of the law nro not appllca- bio to it, which fact removes any contention over tho qualifications D any teacher, and allows tho board to employ teachers at their discretion The school will therefore bo contln ued under Its present plan. For Another Bond Election. It was decided to ask onco moro for tho lssuanco of bonds to build and to refund the floating debt of tho district. John Halloy, Jr., was dl rected to securo sufflclent names to empower tho board to call an elec tion, and ho finished his work this afternoon. At a meeting this oven ing the board will further discuss the question and Issue tho call. It was decided to ask for $30,000 bonds with which to provide for tho construction of a now building, and for tho refunding of tho floating debt of the district. This debt Is at this time about $14,500. which would leave about $15,500 for tho construc tion of the building. Irrepressible Issue. This action of the board opens onco more the old question which agitated the minds of tho citizens last year about this time. Tho board then asked for bonds to build, and tho request was turned clown at tho polls, principally through tho efforts of a few influential men. This year they have the samo ideas on tho question, but they say It is not tho bonds, but tho location of tho pro posed building that causes tho trou ble. Thoy wero not In favor of the purchase of tho old Academy build lngs, and still think that slto a poor place for tho construction of a per manent school building, it Is inclos ed In a network of tracks and is in the manufacturing center of tho city. If these objections were overcome and tho district could securo other and better lots for tho building, tho opposition would bo among tho first to rally to tho lssuanco of the loan If an attempt Is mado to issuo bonds on tho samo platform as last year, it will bo a hard fight. If the issue can bo arbitrated and an nine- election agreement reached on es sentials, tho bonds will carry hy a good majority. WAS A "STANLjFF." Mastiff and Three Bloodhounds "Take It Out" In Growling. "Dummer," tho ble mastiff belong ing to Tom Nolson, and who took tho trip to tho Philippines with tho Oregon boys, Is a wiso dog and has learned a great deal of military strategy during tho service ho has seen in tho army. Tills morning ho was pursuing his dignified way up Main street, when ho met throo bloodhounds belonging to tho "Undo Tom" company. Each was as largo as Hummer, and thoy wero looking for a littlo trouble. The largest ono stopped in front of tho warrior dog, who camo to a dignified pauso and looked tho now-comur ,in tho eye. Tho other two strangers closed around tho mastiff with hair turned towards their heads, and commenc ed an Inspection. Hummer novcr moved, but stood at "attention," with eyes straight in front. Tho owner of tho show dogs whistled and tho invaders walked stiff-legged away. Still Hummer nover moved until nearly a minuto had passed and tho other dogs wero half a block away. Then ho slowly turned his bead and seeing the re treating forces of tho enemy his hair turned towards his head and ho gavo vent to his insulted dignity In a rumbling growl, barked a couplo of times, followed tho enomy a few feet and then resumed his march. Ho had fight in him, but understood tho superiority of heavy battalions. A BEAUTIFUL WINDOW. Peoples Warehouse Prepares an At tractive Welcome to Knights of Pythias.

Many of the Items Advertised Are Much Less Than Cost of Publish Ing Entire Bill Is Honeycombed With Graft Court Does Not Know How Much to Cut Out Yet. The county court met ihls morn- Inc to audit tho bills now remaining, After tackling n few of tho items returned for tho running oxponscs of the county tho court came to tho bill submitted by tho Morning Tri buno for printing dono during tho last two months, which iucludos tho nrintlug of tho delinquent tax list. Tho bill for tho tax list called for 237 inches at $2.60 an inch, making a total of $610.20, which, taken with tho other printing done, brings tho total amnuii asked for -at this ses sion of the court to $734.60. After taking n good look at tho bill tho court took a recess. This afternoon tl cy met again and nro Investigating tho bill. Tho detailed statement of tho costs of tho delinquent tax list shows some interesting things. One, and the principal ono, is that tho costs for advertising exceeds In many cases the amount of tho tax duo. For instance, tho tax assessed to Mrs. Nottlo Adams amounted to $1.65, and tho costs of advertising to $2.15; In tho caso of E. II. Adnms tho tax was 3 cents and tho cost 50 cents; W. L. Alcorn, tax $1.40, costs, $2.15; J. P. nusheo estate tax, 16 cents, costs 75 cents; Aura M, Hutler tax 4 cents, costs 75 cents; and so on to tho end of tho list. Taking one plnco in tho list sub mitted, It would havo been possiblo to cut out 15 lines had tho list been sot with correct abbreviations. From first to last It Is a graft and tho court Is bothered, not with tho ques tion of throwing somo of it out, but ns to what proportion of tho wholo list should bo consigned to tho wastobasket. At tho end of tho session this afternoon tho court will adjourn un til Monday, when consideration of tho Wild Horse road will bo taken up. fHC WHOLESOME CRESCENT Egg -Phosphate BAKING POWDER SAVES ONE-THIRD THE EGGS.
