Will Investigate Conditions In tJio West End of the County First, and Immediately Thereafter on the North and South Sides The Large Bridge Which Went Out on Butter Creek May Not Be Rehullt Till Next Year $40,000 Will Cover tho Coun ty's Damage. With all three members present the first session of the present county court was held this morning for the purpose of taking action regarding the repairing of the roads and bridges of the county. As indicated yester day, H. B. Lee, commissioner-elect, came down on the evening train, and this morning was appointed by Messrs. Gllllland and Walker to fill the unexpired term of the former. Mr. Lee Immediately qualified for the of fice and is now a regular member of the county court, though the term to which he was elected will not com mence until July 1. At the session this morning the commissioners decided to go to Echo on the westbound passenger train for the purpose of viewing the bridges and roads In that section. A number of small bridges were washed out In that locality during the flood, and one large bridge, over Butter creek, went out. The road supervisor of that district has recommended that the Butter creek bridge be not rebuilt at present and unless the residents In sist on prompt action, the work of re building that bridge will be deferred until next year. After Inspection of the roads and bridges at Echo the members of the court will return to Pendleton. Messrs. Lee and Walker will then go to the north end of the county to look after the work In that section, while Judge Gllllland will do the same In the south end. After the new court haa become familiar with Its duties Mr. Lee will attend to the north end, Mr. Walker the central portion of the county, and Judge Gllllland the south end. How ever, at the request of Commissioner Lee, Mr. Walker will accompany him on his first tour of his portion of the county. 340,000 Damage to County. When asked this morning concern ing the probable loss to the county from the flood. Judge Gllllland said: "It Is Impossible to say just what the loss will be, but I believe now that it will be less than 140,000, which was the estimate made Just after the flood. In many Instances bridges went out, but were not swept away, so they will not be a total loss to the county, as the timber may still be used." LITTLE DANGER OF TYPHOID. Private Sewers Emptying Into River Mu Ft Be Discarded. That there is little danger of a ty phoid epidemic, or of any other illness as a result of the flood Is generally held by the physicians of the city. When seen upon the subject this mornlrtg Dr. Cole, city health officer, said: "There Is more danger of miasmatic fever than of typhoid during the com ing summer, but I believe there will be little or no Illness through condi tions resulting from the high water.

Pustofflce Block. 9 se.ooo.oo $300,000.00 I The cool weather we have been having since the flood has been a blessing, as it has allowed the water In the west end to disappear without first becoming stagnant as It would have done had hot weather followed the flood. "Also, the rains which prevailed for several days after the water receded were beneficial because they washed away the sediment that had gathered In the Inwns and streets of the flooded section. "But while there Is little danger of typhoid, the people should not neg lect to take every precaution to see that their places are In good sanitary condition. Nor should they fall to boll the drinking water used, as by doing so they are taking the greatest safe guard agntnst the fever." According to J. T. Hlnkle. chairman of the levee committee of the council, the private sewers which empty Into the river at various places within the city will have to go. For the most part these were Installed before the present sewer system was established and have been allowed to remain by the council. But now that the levee Is to be repaired and made Into a park, the council will order the pri vate sewers abandoned and compel the use of the main sewer system. FOUR-INCH PIPE ARRIVED. Nearly 3000 Feet Will Be Laid During Next Week. At last the four-Inch pipe which Is to replace the small water main on some of the north side streets, has arrived. There Is between 2500 and 3000 feet of the big pipe, and on Monday J. T. Brown, water super intendent, will place a crew of men at work replacing the present main. The trenches were dug some weeks ago. G. L. STROUD OF SPOKANE TELLS OF DEVELOPMENT. Says Americans Will Play Prominent Part In the Future of the Old 1 to public Fabulously Rk-h Mines Are Worked in Crudo Way by Mexicans Young Americans Who Can Speak the Spanish Language, Are In Demand. G. L, Stroud of Spokane, a promi nent mining man of the northwest, passed through the city this morning to Spokane for a year's stay In the republic of Mexico, most of this time having been spent In the state of Guadalajara, where great mining and railroad development are now going on. Mr. Stroud Is highly enthusiastic over the future of Mexico and, Is es pecially elated over the part which Americans are to play In the develop ment of that old country. In Guadalajara are mines which have been worked for hundreds of years In a most crude and primitive way, which can be converted Into bo nanzas by American capital and Im proved methods. The ore Is tediously mined by hand, carried on mules for miles to old-fashioned roasters and smelters, where but a fraction of the metal Is extracted. Even with these crude methods Mexican companies are making money. With Improved methods and proper development some of the Guadalajara mines will become enormously profitable, he be lieves. Mr. Stroud says that one glaring mistake made by American capital ists In going Into Mexico, Is that far mers, stockmen,, merchants, and men wholly unacquainted with mining go there and expect to get rich In a few years In a business of which they are almost totally lngnorant. Then these men come away cursing the country and slandering the shrewd promoters who sold them property at high prices. He says that men not acquainted with the business should not venture their eptlre fortune In It. It Is not business-like and will result in disas ter. Not one Inexperienced man In a hundred makes any money from mining. Only mining men should go to the mining regions. He says that one of the most press ing demands In Mexico Is for young Americans who can speak the Spanish language. Railroad development and mining development have opened thousands of useful occupations for thme and there are none to fill the places. But he says to be sure to have a position before going. The mining centers are far In tho Interior. Trans portation costs money. Living ex penses are high In the Interior and unless you have money or a position, you will be In hard luck In Mexico. PROFITABLE SCHOOL YEAR. Improvement and Progress Uniformly Recorded. That the Pendleton schools have profited under the direction of City Superintendent Traver Is shown by the annual report, which has Just been filed with the county school su perintendent. In the report figures are given showing the attendance for the past year, and according to Super intendent Welles the showing Is very favorable compared with those of former years. The total number of pupils enrolled In the Pendleton schools during the past year was 73 greater than last year, while the number remaining until the close of the year was 110 more than last year. i But the most satisfactory conditions shown are those regarding the attend ance and absences. During the past year the total days attendance was 14,394 greater than last year, while the absences were 2266 fewer. Also, the number of tardles during the past year were 1173 fewer than a year ago. The average dally attendance was 64 greater this year than last Aside from the above, the report BAG FROM MEXICO Boston Summer Shirts Belts Two Piece Suits Combination Underwear Best Assorments Lowest Prices Boston Store LOOK IN THE WINDOW eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee also shows that more Interest has been taken In the school this year by out siders. Last year but 62 parents were registered as visitors during the year, while during the year Just closed the number reached 248. During the past year there were 9 visitations from members of the board, whereas dur ing the previous year there were but 19. AIbo, the county school superin tendent haa made 20 more visits to the schools than during the previous year. That the showing for the past year Is ahead of the "previous records Is not due to accident or chance, but to the thorough methods Insisted upon by Superintendent Traver, who Is re garded as one of the most competent educators In the northwest Threatened With Typhoid.
