Strange things sometimes Iiaptxm
in the dark proof that one should
shun darkness and perform one's
deeds in the light of day. Last
Sunday ns "Dad" West was re
turning to the house after "doing
the chores" he noticed that the
milk pail was leaking quite freely
and thought it best to empty the
milk into a p&u. He found the
house empty of all the "women
folks" so in the goodness of his
heart he decided to attend to the
matter himself. Consequently he
got the shiniest pan he could find
and poured the milk therein. Hut
what was his consternation to
notice, in the semi-darkness of the
room, that the pan was leaking
worse than the pail. Ilnrridly
seizing the pesky thing he started
to injur the milk back into the pail,
when he found thai he held in his
hand not a ni'lk rton .full of milk
but an empty sieve. Just then an
audience of twd appeared through
the doorway and "Dad" in the
pauses of their hilarious laughter
was heard explaining why he
didn't know a sieve from a tin pan.

The political cohditibus lire worse
in those states than in any others.
Why? Hccausc the good women vX
those states refuse to mix with an
element that they do not associate
with ordinarily, and the voting is
left to her unfortunate sisters, the
ignorant woman, the foreign woili
an, and the woman from the broth
els. As this class is dominated by
the same class of men, and they in
turn by the "bosses," it has simply
resulted iu increasing the number
of voters that can be handled by
politicians. It does seem strange
that the suffragists would not ex
x:nd their energies upon purifying
the atmosphere iu those states
where they have been mainly iustrti
mental in bringing about their pres
ent political conditions, instead of
coming into a state that docs not
want it, and whose progress it
would injure were it adopted at the
next election. Adv.

A Question That Now Confronts the
Bend School District.
A meeting of the school voters
of Hend district No. 12 is called for
next Motulav to consider a question
of no little importance to the dis
trict. Iu the construction of i tends
handsome new public school build
ing, bills in excess of the contract
price have been incurred amount
ing to about $ 1, 000. The contract
or is unable to pay and the debtors
arc clamoring tor their money.
The building stands practically
completed, with only a very little
work to be done. I he usual pro
ceedings would be to require the
bondsmen to finish the building
and pay the bills, but there is
strong probability that litigation
would follow the attempt to do this
Hence the school board wishes to
determine the desires of the people
before taking further action.
Several interesting legal points
arc involved in tuts uithculty.
Opinions have been expressed by
Hend attorneys in which they
maintain that the district has much
the better part of this controversy.
Under Oregon law a school build
ing cannot be attached for debt nor
liens placed against it. Hence those
firms who have furnished material
for such a building have no re
source for collecting pay for said
material except through action
brought against the contractor or
his bondsmen. This apparently
gives the district an important ad
vantage in this question, but on
the other hand the bondsmen claim
their bonds arc now null and void,
rendered so by changes in plans,
etc. They propose to fight any
action brought agaiust them.
It is now agreed that the bills
exceeding the contract have been
reasonably incurred iu the erection
of the building. The question is
shall the district meet this obliga
tion, or shall it force the bondsmen
to meet the deficiency between the
amount stipulated iu contracts and
the actual cost of construction?
