HUlsboro Independent. D. W. BATH. Editor and Proprietor. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway taught school at Eola in 1853. She made a visit to that town last week and this called to memory the incident Mrs. Duniway is still "teaching schooi," but her scholars are of larger growth than those of 1853, and her school room the whole state of Oregon A correspondent wishes us to answer this question through the columns of The Independent: "If a person, in order to har vest his crop, can keep his child ren at home to help, or must he let his crop go to waste and send the children to school. Or, if a ferson has not got the means to iie help, or if he has the means but cannot get the help, does it make any difference to the law?" The compulsory school law is very plain, and rignt or wrong, Bnouia De respecteu. i -I 1 1 l i. .1 1. n should be enforced to the letter, It was enacted for the purpose of giving the children an education in spite of themselves or the par ent who is either too poor, too careless or too penurious to at- ""ulV"c,rT" " " lion, in some instances iiwurns u.au: a lieu uaiuu uji tuc lauici opai v them, when he really needs their help, LLt W lit I W Jkllgf W1V.I1 I school he is doing more for them than if he placed all they could earn out at interest in their name.

The Oregonian of Wednesday morning says: "That Portland is in grave danger of an invasion of bubonic plague and that it is essential for the residents of this city to take preventive measures were the subjects of an earnest discussion at a meeting of the City and County Medical Society, held in the Portland Commercial Club rooms last night Resolu tions were adopted commending the work being done by City Health Officer Fohl and the members of the City Health Board, and requesting the co operation of every citizen in all efforts to ward off this epidemic. The attention of the society was called to the danger of a possible 1 tt the plague In this city by City Health Officer Pohl, who said a great many of the large number of rats being killed it this citv daily are subjected to examination.

Xew York World (Dem.): It was not Theodore Roosevelt who tried to fiuance the United Copper pool with other people's money, tut the Heinzes. It was not Theodore Roosevelt but Heinze, Morse and Thomas whom an honest and indignant clearing house committee had to scourge from the banking business. It was not Theodore Roosevelt but C. T. Barney who plunged the Knickerbocker Trust Company in to reckless real estate operations. It was not Theodore Roosevelt but E. R. Thomas whom Mr. Fleming forced to return to the Provident Life Assurance Society the money of the policyholders which had been deposited in Thom as' banks for use In wildcat specu lation. It was not Theodore Roosevelt but Thomas F. Ryan and associates who, by a combination of stock jobbing and grand larceny, wreck ed the most profitable street-rail way system in the world. It was not Theodore Roosevelt but E. II. Harriman who looted the Alton. It was not Theodore Roosevelt who was responsible for a system of insurance corruption whose expos ure shocked the whole civilized world, but men who have never spent an hour in a cell tor punish ment for their offenses. It is not Theodore Roosevelt who ought to be in Sing Sing for crimes and misdemeanors. Cone to the Wall. The Portland Oregonian of yes terday morning says: Distress of the Title, Guarantee & Trust Company reached a climax yes terday, when Judge Wolverton the United StateB District Court ordered the institution in to receivership, on application of Nathan Coy., a stockholder. hrough Joseph Simon, an attor ney. Judge Wolverton appoint ed as receiver George H. Hill, vice-president of the bank. The matter was taken into the eral Court because Coy is a resident of Oregon, living Boston. Fed non near The bank closed on Monday of last week, with only $9000 of bank money in its vaults and $9000 due from other banks out of deposits aggreganing $1,800, 000. In the succeeding holidays proclaimed by the governor, the bank, unlike the other institu tions of the city, remained closed. Yesterday morning it was agreed between the officers of the bank and the leading stockholders that the institution should go into the hands of a receiver.

The attraction is said to be one of the best of the lat er successes in this line, and its management claim for it all the ele ments that go to make up a popu lar dramatic offering, The cast contains many well-known names, and the scenic production and me chanical accompaniments are said to be elaborate and attractive. , Our line of complete and many beautiful hats in the advanced winter styles.

Over 300 men quit work Mon Hav morninflr on the Board Trade and Beck building and the Oregon hotel annex because of a drastic cut in waives made by the contracting engineering company which has the contracts for the construction of these buildings, says the Portland Jour nal. Ihe reduction in w aires, us posted at the Board of Trade building:, amounts to from 5 cents an hour for common lalor ers to 10 cents for skilled work men, which is an average cut of about 20 per cent. Bricklayers, carpenters, cement workers and common laborers are effected by the reduction. Under the new scale laborers that formerly received 25 cents an hour will hereafter be paid 20 cents; carpenters, whose wages were 40 cents, will hereafter get 30 cents; the old scale for cement workers was 45 cents, new scale 35 cents, while the wages bricklayers is reduced from 50 cents to 40 cents an hour. The new scale provides that all class es of labor on these buildings ex cept bricklayers will hereafter work nine hours a day. The tieup is practically com plete on the Hoard of Trade building, not more than a dozen j men engaged on the structure, while last week fully 125 men were at work on the job. I A foreman at one of these buildings said that he had heard of no reduction in wages by any contractors in the city and did not believe that any reduction would be made elsewhere on old contracts.

Governor Chamberlain has aji poiuted delegates to the Trans Mis sisMppi Commercial Congress t I held at Musko-ee, Oklahoma, No vember lytlwiud. Hon. Arthur F. Francis, Secretary of the Con gress, requests every commercial or ganization in Oregon to name dele gates and report to him immediate ly at Muskogee. The advance of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest in live-stotk will be splendidly illustrated at the Horse Show in Portland on the 7th, 8th and 9U1 of this month. F. ti tties have already surpassed expec tations and a lare attendance is of anticipated. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the Oregon State Good Roads Convention to le held at the rooms of the Portland Com mercial Club Novemljer 14th-15th. Hon. John II. Scott, ot Salem, pres ident of the state association, urges the appointment of delegates and () asks for a large attendance. There will le present a number ot able speakers who have given years to practical road-building. The coun ty judges and commissioners of Or egon are esjecially responsible for the success of this meeting and are urged to send delegates. The same is true with regard to commercial, I industrial, agricultural and horti- cultural societies, re(orting a list of I same at once to President Scott, at Salem. Checks "payable only through clearing house" get the money just the same as the old-fashioned kind for all necessary purposes. This little hesitation in the stream of fi nancial wealth, when Oregon is producing for the good year 1907 a lumber product of 30,000,000, live stock and wool worth $20,000,000, poultry and eggs worth &j,ooo,ooo, a grain crop worth $15,000,000, and a fruit crop of $5,000,000, and erecting buildings worth $20,000, 000, seems just a little queer, and things will right themselves. Ore gon banks have plenty of money, our people are out ot lebt. our mortgages aie paid, and a little cool judgment and optimism will bring us out all right. The dinner in honor of M. J. Roche, recently elet ted president of the American Association of Tra- PasseiiL'er Acents. at the ' O - n Portland Commercial Club Satur day tufcht, was attended by the oC fkuls of over twenty of the leading American railroads, the officials ot the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposi tion, and the governors of Oregon and Washington. Mr. Roche has attended for years the national con ventions of this association and has used every possible effort to adver tise the resources of Oregon m ev ery portion of the United Stales. The passenger officials- of the I nit ed States had much to do with the success of the Lewis tSc Clark expo sition, and they will also be instru mental in making a success of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. . t . .
