COURT HOUSE f Regarding School Taa LevUe. Bnperintendent Savage has been busily engaged in sending out the customary notions to the various school district!, calling the attention of the boards to the matter of the attending to the special school tax levy, if ibey uiay deasire to place any. In reply to numerous inqoiries re ceived fioin many sections of the state, Attorney-General Crawford has given an opinion iu which he gives an interpretation of the act providing for the annual school district tax levy, holding that a district may hold an election at any time duriug the year and vote the tax or the actions taken at the first election may be rescinded at subsequent election and a new tate of levy made, provid ing the Dotice of change is ic the hands of the County Clerk prior to Juanary 1 in order that the correction uiay be made and the levy exteuded upon the tax roll. "No time is arbi trarily fixed for school district to hold an election for voting taxes," says the Attorney-Geueral in the opinion which is addressed to District Attorney U. W. Phelps, of Pendleton. It can be held at any time providing it does so In time to notify the County Clerk Drior to Jannary 1. Under the general rule that the power which creates can destroy or nndo the school district has the right under the law to rescind the vote if, In the opinion of the majority of the voters, it is con siderbaed for the best interests of the district. After the meeting a certified oopy of the record bad with the notice of the new levy would be sufficient for the County Clerk to disregard the first notice and act upon the record, providing it la done before Janoary 1. County School Newa Items. Owing to the illness of her husband, who la laid up with ao attack of typhoid fever, Mra Ida Swacker, teacher of the Centennial school, District No. 28, has closed her school for a cople of weeks, so that she might look after his comfort. The Kerby school Is tke only one in Josephine county, outside of the county seat that has a olass in the Ninth Grade, this year. The work is being carried on quite successfully under the tutelage of Miss Cora Smith, the very efficient teacher. Sdlina boasted of doing work of this kind, but failed to have any pupils in that grade. Superintendent Savage's determi nation to put a stop to the teachers missing the annual institute, by giving all those who remained away from the last gathering demerit marks, has stirred up thiogs and those teachers are now quite sorry they did not comply with the law which is very explicit in stating they mast attend such sesssions. The books for the different school libraries, throughout this couutry have arrived and Superintendent Sav age is now ohecking tliein up and the officers of the districts may now send for them. There are 700 volumes iu all. The sum of 10 cent) per child is assessed iu each district. Two dis tricts, oamely, Waldo,, gave $54 eitra for additional books and Grants Pass alto gave some additional. Some Miscellaneous Matters. Cupid seems somewhat put out by reason of the holidays, but he mana ges to send iu a few orders which ure gladly filled by County Clerk Chesh ire. The lit doenmeut of this kind was to Lamnut D. Corbet, aged a J aud Elsie Stone, aged 21, both resident of Grants Pass Next Wednesday the regular session ! of the County Commissioners Court 1 will be in session. If the holidays' "P'" 1 up uerors mat aay. then the board will proceed to clean up I considerable business which has been ! accumulating. Otherwife another poet 1 poneuient will likely ooour. 1 And still the holidays come aud go, , with the natural result that com-! paratively little business is being 1 carried on at the conrtliouse. The ! officers are hoping that it will soon be ' legal for them to get to work aud th us earn their aalaries, as their con-1 sciences are troubling them. T. P.

They mnst walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more sofferiDB than any other organ of the body. Keep the kideys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps ana cures tne kidneys and Is endorsed bv people you know. Mrs. K. K. Veatoh. N. Fifth St , Grants Pass, Ore., says : For a long time I had been troubled from kidney complaint and rhematism. Pains in my back, hips and limbs caused me much misery and I constantly lost a great deal of rest at night, arising in the morning, tired and unrefrenhed. After trying several remedies without relief, I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box at Clemens' drug store. At the time I had taken the contents of th's box. uiv health was greatly improved.

One more department of clt m ernment has assailed the billboard nui sance as constituting a menace to civic betterment, says the Los Angeles Times. In several cities to the east ward of California street superintend ents have complained that the Utter caused by posters peeling off Cannes more rubbish to form In the gutters than any other cause. All this Is en couraging to those striving to attain a high standard In civic beauty, for It really looks as though we may eventu ally clear ourselves of too obnoxious presence of all billboards. So much pressure Is being brought on this class of advertisers thnt It Is either stop or suffer financial loss through a decrease of custom. Good Cleaning Up scheme.
