In order to vent Its contemptible aaUtical spleen on members of the Peetdleton school board, whom the ample ot thl9 distiict hare chosen to conduct the affairs of the schools, the dawning Tribune U willing to cast dls cradlt upon the schools by Imputa tion. Inuendo and Insinuation. Because it expects, to mako a bitter sad narrow partisan fight on Walter Pierce during tho coming campaign in the county it Is now playing politics a a most disgusting way, casting sus picion on the actions of the school board, hinting at dishonesty and secrecy in the conduct of the public schools and m every way laying foun dation for prejudice against Pierce. In this dirty plan the public school tl made to suffer. Strangers not fa aalltar with the reputation of the Tribune and reading the attacks in that paper upon the school board would be led to believe that a most alagraceful and corrupt condition prevails In the affairs of the schools m this city, which isr fartherest from the truth. The district has Just voted a tax for three new buildings which are now the pride of the city. This increased expense Increases the tax levy, ' and the board, although practicing the most rigid economy, has been forced to call for two mills additional after the first assessment of 10 mills was levied. : Since this amount of taxes la ab solutely necessary to the maintenance t the schools, does any taxpayer rn Ifendleton oppose 11? Would ' you eatrtatl the schools In any way that aroul 1 crlpplo their efficiency Btnoe you have Ju.it authorized the construc tion of the new bui! dings? The school board followed the exact letter of the law In calling meetings arid conducting elections. Kvery step a supported and authorized by thf school laws of the state and the board at being unjustly and dishonestly cen sured for political reasons by the Tribune. This Is the entire burden ot Ma opposition to the tax levy. . In the first place, the Tribune should not apo:ik one way or the other upon this subject, until it pays alio back taxes which it owes the county Ibr the past five years. GOOD-RYK, JIM HTHU. The retirement of James J. Hill from the active management of the Great Northern and allied roads on lanuirv 1 will mark an epoch In American railroad history. With a boldness that was startling and a foresight that was almost pro lieUc. James J. Hill started to build railroads Into the very heart of the deserts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Kontana, years before settlers came. People said: "What does he expect to ds? Thers U no business for him In those wildernesses." Hut Jim Hill made business. Whither he went business and settle sent and civilization followed. Un- Kka hU more timid and conservative esntemporarles, he did not cling' to the borders of settlements, where nmnt!t!on was strong and the chances for development alight tat he struck boldly Into an almost andtscoverad country, where for hun. dreds ot miles his roods would not aaty the coal bill with the business rlgtnatlng along the line. Bat a wonderful business ana m dust rial prescience guided him. Ho knew that the prairies would not be settled with a permanent ciase until they wore put In touch with civiliza tion. Po he built railroads and branch hies and cross roads and connecting miijs and made a perfect cobweb ot railway lines In the territory he occu pied. And then his roward came. Hun dreds of thousands of settlers flocked to the country opened up by him. His warehouse were filled with mer chandise coming to the settlers and with farm produce going out to the markets of the world. He encouraged agriculture. Ho In troduced every new Idea In farming which he learned from every source and made the Hill lines a part of the life of the community. Monopolist. It Is true. Selfish. It Is true. Avurlclous to a certain degree, always. Opposed to "meddling with railroad rates, as are all his fellows. Hut for downright civilizing and upbuilding waste places Jamea J. Hill will go down In American railroad his tory ns the one supreme model of the Industrial prophet, seer and or ganizer. TlIK, CAI.li OK IOVR There Is tragedy and sadness In the return of the Tortland man to the wife ot his youth whom he deserted 23 years ago In Kansas. All of these years she has waited and hoped for his return. All these years he has cruelly denied her the fruition ot her hope. At last, old and Infirm, heart-hungry for home and family, embittered against hla own life ho returns and Is embraced and re ceived as If he had been absent but a few days on an errand. What a wonderful thing Is tho soul of a woman and what more wondorful thing the lovo that permeates it After witnessing such self-sacrificing and undying affection as this, how contemptibly debased seem some of man's cruel and stinging blows? For thee I will arouse my thoughts and try All heavenward flights, all high and holy strains! For three I will walk patiently Through the long hours nor count their moments pains! The Kant Oregohlan takes great pride in mentioning tho excellent country correspondence which it is now publishing from the different sections ot thoi county. A regular traveling correspondent Is now em ployed who visits every town In the county and who is dolnu good work in securing news and writing up the many substantial advancements being made. This correspondence is pub llshed in all the Issues, Including the dally and e ml-wcekly. and the rest dunta of every section of the county are urged to co-operate with the cor respondent in securing the news ami in Riving such business statistics as may be of benefit to tho various lo calities. This correspondence is fresh, original and reliable and adds an Invaluable feature to the various Issues of the paper. KlfMiI. OK 1812 FOUJm. An Interesting rello of the war of ifft n-aa ronpntlv hauled from the depths of Curtis bay In a fish seine by B. R.

He took the shell to Fort McHcn- rv where the ordnance officer pro nounced It a shell of English make. nd also Informed Mr. Stull mat it was loaded. Mr. Stull was ueiermtneu to find what was Inside, and, placing It under water, he carefully noreo through tho bell metal cap. When tho cap was removed about a gill of .lack powder, which was in gooa con iitlon. came out. There was some thine else still Inside, so Mr. Ktul continued to die. and at last dlslodeoti 178 leaden bullets, each about live eighths of an Inch in diameter, which had been firmly Imoeaaen m tnne. Tho shell la five anl nve-eigmns Inches In diameter and, with Its con tnntq. wclehs 22 1-2 pounds. It was learned by Mr. Btull that tnp wooden cap was part of the snon the method of shooting the sneii ne In to nlnce the cap on the shell, with a fuse leading through the cap and he hell metal to the Interior or tnc ihell. The powder charge of tho gu was then either tied or wrapped .rmiTiH the outside of the wooden cd and the whole placed In the gun When the latter was aiscnargea ine powder Ignited the fuse, which In turn carried a spark to tho powder In tho shell. The spark reaching the brim stone caused a gas to form, and this exploded the shell, the leaden hulh-ls causing tho destruction. Baltimore American. Committee Was Blow.

A postal card that tilks this is the latest contribution of science to the comfort of the world The phono- postal, ns it is called, will bring to friends at home the spoken words of the traveler. They may actually hear his voice as lte tells of the scenes he Is visiting, or speaks messages of af fection and cheer. Jules Vente, whose strange, clalr- oyant fancy foresaw the submarine boat, the airship and other marvels eais before their appearance, like wise predicted the modification ot the phonograph, which Is now a real ity. The '.llentry Digest gives a trans lation from I .a Nature. Parts, descrtb- iir the invention as follows: The phono-postal is an apparatus ntenilcl to record and afterward re produce the human voice with the aid of :i piece I't cardboard of the size and .-nape of a postal card. 'The advantages of the phono-pos- ,ire many. In these days of ex tended tours there can bo nothing more attractive than to put in one's automobile or in a corner of one's bag this apparatus, which takes up no more room than two or three boxes of letter paper. By adding a few dozen cards prepared for use as rec ords we may, at each stopping place end to those at home fresh and, as we may say. vlbrunt news of our Jour ney." In making a phono-postal the send er speaks Into the phonograph, a piece of prepared cardboard taking the place of the customary wax cyl inder. The diaphragm of the Instrument has a sapphire point that traces the record in a sensitive layer of what Is called "sonorlne," spread over the surface of the card. The essence of the Invention lies in the composition of this substance, which, although easily spread on a sheet of cardboard. posf-esses all the advantages of the wax with which the ordinary phono graph cylinders and gramophone disks are covered. In addition, sonorlne is so hard that It will safely bear the roughest handling that it is likely to get in passing through the malls. The French writer says: "The sounds are recorded in a spi ral beginning at the edge of the card and growing continually smaller until the last circle is barely as large as a 10-centime piece. The groove made so hard that even the two poet- marks are not able to destroy more than a syllable or two. , On one card there may easily be nscrlbed 75 or 80 words, which Is sufficient to give ample news. We should not forget that the phono card merely aims at filling the. same place as the illustrated postal card. The phonographic correspondence may be put on the side reserved for address, and this may be written over the grooves traced by the record- ng diaphragm without the slightest interference with the reproduction of the sounds." The Invention has been introduced In Paris. . l)ltli:i MILK. Consular reports from Australia In dicate that In that part of the world trials have been made of a irystcm of drying milk which Is paid to have been successful In London, EnWni. The milk is dried between steam roll ers and sold ns a powder, from which nothing but water has been extracted ind to which nothlne but water re quires to re added to make whole some, clean an 1 sterile milk. A lead ing medical officer In Australia is re ported to have sal I that the adoption of dried milk at some of the asylums for consumptive patients and in gen eral hospitals has proved a success. Prof, nustnv Flambach. aged 74, of Bt LouN, was run down by a fire en gine and his skull and leg fractured. and he received Internal Injuries and cannot recover.
