the modern search light was of
forded Tuesday night, when the

Wilson at Forest Grove Saturday,
will bo arraigned before Justice

The annual schwl meetings will
be held in the various precincts
of the county on the third Mon
day in June. It has been said of
the American people that one of
their most surprising character
istics is the lack of interest they
take in school atTairs. Retwoen
$00,000 and $70,000 is expended
each year for education in Wash
ington county. Thinking pcoplo
have long since ceased to regard
this as a tax, but rather look on
it as an investment, returning
both principal and interest in the
education it affords their child
ren. Nevertheless, if it is an in
vestment, careful businessmen
are naturally as much interested
in the details of the expenditure
a in any other enterprise, and
should attend the schwl meet
ings and. when necessary, as
sume the duties of school officers
and pee that the money is ex
pended to the best advantage.
air-tight heater in the room in
which the child lay sleeping in
its crib. He then went into the
yard.
A short time after Ed. Jacobs,
who was working on a house in
the vicinity, rang the door bel
or the Dai ley residence to re
quest the ' use of the telephone.
In answering the ring Mrs. Dai
ley passed the door of the room
in which the child lay and was
horrified to discover it a mass of
flames.
In some manner the fire had
caught the bedding of the crib
and the blaze had just reachec:
the child when discovered by the
mother. Mr. Jacobs responded
to the mother's cries for help and
the fire was quickly extinguished.
The baby's clothing was scorch
ed, but it was found to be unin
jured. A few minutes' delay
would have meant serious, if not
fatal, burns. The loss from the
fire was nominal.

J. W. Connell, Sheriff of Wash
ington County, Offices atHills
loro, Oregon. June 3rd, 1908.
To the Voters of Washington
County: As the chairman of the
republican county central com
mittee I desire to thank the re
publican voters that stood by us
in the election of the primary
ticket in this election, I am also
very thankful to the democrats
that gave us their support in
helping to elect the primary can
didates that were so severely at
tacked in the fight just over, for
without the support of the voters
that believe in the primary law,
it would have been greatly dis
credited, which eventually would
cause the old bossism rule to en
ter into politics again, and which
we are free from at the present
time. Again thanking you for
your liberal support, I remain.
Yours very resjiectfully,
J. W. Connell.

UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL.
Inconsistency of Defeat of One and
Adoption of Other.
Speaking of the, coming school
graduation a prominent educator
said to The Independent man the
other day:
"The third eighth grade exam
ination for the present year will
be held in the various districts of
Washington county on June 11th
and 12th and the class graduated
will be barred from further edu
cational facilities in the county,
owing to the defeat of the coun
ty high school measure.
"A remarkable feature of the
vote in Monday's election is the
fact that while the university ap
propriation carried in the county,
the high school measure was vot
ed down. No high school for
Washington county leaves a gap
of four years between gradua
tion from the local schools and
entrance to the Btate university.
While many are able and willing
to pay the expense of fitting their
children for entrance to the uni
versity after leaving the public
school, to the great mass of the
people it is too great a burden,
and they find themselves saddled
with the university tax with no !

"When the vote is analyzed it
would apiear that Washington
county is willing to do her part
in furthering the cause of higher
education for the rest of the
state, but is unwilling that her
own boys and girls have the share
for which they have paid."
