At a meeting of the School
Board held last Thursday, which
lasted for more than four hours, all
the present teachers who applied for
positions next year were reelected,
a male principal for the High
School was appointed, two addi
tional members were added to the
teaching force, and plans for a new
high school building were dis
cussed. The Misses Market, Vandevert,
Young, and Richardson were re
appointed. Miss Reid and Miss,
Wiest did not apply. Miss Market
will continue with her work in the
High School, Miss Young will
have the 5tu and 6th grades in the
Public School, Miss Vandevert the
3rd rind 4th and Miss Richardson
(be 1st. Miss R. Katberiue I fas-
kins, formerly a teacher at Med
lord, whose application was ac
cepted, will instruct the and grade
The Board is now in communica
tion with J,. A, Stockton of Taco
ma, who may be chosen principal
of the Public School, and as such
will teach the 7th and 8th grades.
The application of Frank J,
Browne for principal of the High
school was accepted. Mr. Browne,
formerly a superintendent of pub
lic instruction in Washington, now
is instructing in the Polytechnic
High School at San Francisco,
The third High School teacher has
not been settled upon as yet.
After acting on the applications,
the Board, on motion, decided that
all appointments of teachers must
be accepted by them by June 20th.
In several instances, not without
considerable debate and objection
from a portion of the Board, teach
ers salaries were raiseu.
Discussion of school affairs de
velopcd the fact that the present
building now is practically filled to
capacity, while' every indication
points to a very greatly increased
GUIVIIlUWUb MVAh IV.U4. 4UW.WWVW,
the Board's action in adding two
additional teachers for next year
brought the number oftbefeculty
up to eight, while the present
buildlug has but six room.
With these considerations in
miud, indicating the necessity for a
separate High School building, the
Board examjned plaits and sped
fications for such a building.
It was found that a structure with
dimensions approximately 54x73
feet, with basement and masonry
to the first floor would cct about
$15,000. The Board, admitting
the grave necessity for providing
quarters for the enlarging Khool,
hi their discussion favored the erec
tion of such a building at the earli
est practicable date. They seemed
to believe that it could be put up in
time for next term's work, if the
necessary funds were forthcoming
It was decided thai as soon as
the details of procedure were set
tied upon and more definite build'
ing plans and specifications pro
cured, a meeting of the taxpayers
of the district would be called to
consider the advisability of floating
a bond issue for the purpose of
erecting such a school home. It
was said that there was sufficient
room left on the land occupied by
the present school building to ac
commodate the proposed structure
According to ScLool Clerk Smith
the district has about $400 in the
bank with some $2000 in outstaud
Ing warrants, whose payment will
leave the district in debt $1600
The district's taxable property last
year was estimated at $551,337
The law permits a district to iv-ue
bonds to the limit of 5 per cent
of its taxable property.
On Friday notices were posted
calling a meeting of school voters
for the district to elect a new mem
ber to the School Board, to fill the
place of U. C. Coe, whose term ex
plres, and a school clerk to replace
K. A. Smith. The meeting will
be held 011 June 20th.
STRENUOUS DAYS IN SMANIKO.
Columbia Southern Railroad Contested
With linormous Traffic to Interior.
QllANlKO, June 14 The enor-
mi us and daily increasing traffic to
interior points via Shanlko has
brought about au unprecedented
state of congestion in the town.
while the Columbia Southern Rail
toad appears completely swamped.
More than 125 cars of freight are
hung up on the road between The
Dalles and here, the passenger train,
which now usually has four coaches,
has to be broken on the grade up
irom me Columbia and Hauled jtwo
cars at a time by the inadequate
engines on the work, while the
warehouses here and the freighters
arc taxed to the limit.
For several days there has been
an oat famine. While cars loaded
with oats are on the way, it seems
Impossible to get them through, re
sulting iu hardships on the hun
dreds of freight horses. To make
matters worse, the city water supply
uas occn curionca. so much so that
autos starling yesterday for Bend
left town with dry tanks. Often
15 cars leave lor the interior doily,
loaded to capacity, while the toads
tooth are crowded with freighters.
It is said that the price on Shatilko
(lend freight may he raised to 2
cents, to offset the greatly increased
coit of keeping slock. From mer
chants iu all the Deschutes Valley
towns endless complaints are being
made regarding the miserable
freight, service between Portland
and Shanlko. In one Instance at
least, a shipment was on the road
for 20 days between these points.
Notice.
An announcement to the ladies
of Bend and vicinity: I will return
soon with all the latest styles iu
puffs, curls, fancy hair pins and
manicure articles. I will be pre
pared to give scalp treatment and
shampooing also to do manicuring.
I advise the ladies to save their
combings as I will be able to make
them up into switches to be used in
the new "Turbad Braid."
