and retired to their area of the
city ;o bury, with confusfan cere

After the funeral service stu

They urged the throngs to avoid
clashes with foreign defender;,
pointing out the filly of inviting
certain death by attacking empty

As an alternative the speakers
counselled united action in

intercourse with foreigners and
blocking the delivery of fcod sup-

Efforts to extend the strike

PIERCE 10 HELP
OF
Just what is going to develop
out of the visit of Commissioner
lilwood Mead of the federal re
clamatlou service to the Vale and
linker projects is much of a con
jecture at present. Coventor
fierce will accompany Mead and
party on their inspection of those
projects, which is dated for July
3, 10 and 11. The governor sees
in the reclamation situation in
Oregon an extremely knotty prob
lem, but he intimated today that
he will welcome the federal offi
cials and endeavor to solve the
problem rather than take the de
fiant attiudc taken by Governor
Hartley of Washington.
In a fetter from Mr. Mead to
Governor Pierce the seriousness of
the situation at Baker and Vale
is by no means minimized, and at
tention is drawn to the Uelie
Kourche project of South Dakota
where the aggregate arrears for
oneratfrn and maintenance is now
G 50,3 70. This Is cited not as an
isolated case, but as typical of the
general situation,
"The problem that we must
litudy in connection with these
new projects, stays Mr. Mead In
his letter to the governor relative
to the Baker and the ale pro
jects, "is how tue right kind of
settlers are to he secured and
what we can safely do to enable

prove their farnw.
Whether the following excerpt
from the letter, fn Its reference to
the Hollo Fourche. Is prophetic of
the withholding of appropriations
from the Baker and the Vale pro
jects remains to be seen. Relative
to the Belle Fourche, Mr. Meal

about, anyway. I have Just been
'Haying with the position to keep

The crux of the situation Is the
fart that the student council at
high school, which has authority
with regard io financial expendi
tures, declines to pay part of
Huntington's salary, stating that
there not sufficient money in
flight to make the proposition pos
sible. The students in their dis

"They have neither the courage

Single Board of

Consolidation of the boards of

offers the most logical solution of

The system is not only sound as
worked out, successfully In other
states, but la logical in every re
