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.

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!

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

and he received Internal Injuries and
cannot recover. Prof. Hambnch Is
