liouse takes place at (he mluxd house
next Saturday afternoon tit - o'clock.
The condition that confronts u is NO
pupils, with room for only 100, lit the
firvft'iit building, and Iwfotv Another
year It la safe to say, we will h-ivo'it)
ti tt la that room will have to W pro
vided for. We must either put an ad
Moi on the present Imildinir, at a
e."si of probably $13iK), rent a room, or
tulld. We need, or will need within a
year not Us than four rooms, heuee if
anndditiou is made to the present
building It will necessarily have to
luublo the seating room of tho present
building. In view of all these circtini
Klttret, the civetiou of a new building
kius to lie tho proper, and only solu
tion. As regards the locution theru is
we think, a practical unanimity of
opinion that the summit of the hill,
the level ground, is the proper place.
It Is the only place where perfect play
grounds can be had, it is convenient to
thoM outside of tne town limits, as
veil as those within them, and unless
Adopted will cause the division of the
district. We can raise by bonding
f 4.500.00 and this with the money re
ceived from the sale of the old site, will
give ua a good four-room buildiug fur
nished. The bonds run ten years,
after which time, ten years are given in
which all must be paid. Every tax
payer in the district should be present,
to the end that the matter may be
thoroughly discussed, and the question
ofscaool building settled.
THE UOOD GRA Y VOET.
James Whitcomb Riley says, he can
find uo poetry in Walt Whitman's
writings. Mr. Riley voices the senti
ments of every sane man, and woman
too, iu America, save and except per
haps a few bean-fed faiiulists of Boat
ing, who pad out their mentalities with
Lruwu bread and Browning, and de
light iu literature blue-blooded to vari
oeity. Whitman wrote such villaiu
ous prose, that to make it printable,
if bad to be classed as poetry.
His writings never arise above
peurility except, it be to fall over the
summit into senility. He wades
through the English language like a hog
through a flower patch, and drivels his
half masticated mouthiugs through
two hundred pages that could easily be
placed on one, and ruin that. His, so
called, poetry is devoid of sense or
rytbni and is only forced into notoriety,
by the biuoculared dillctanti of the
hub, who go seeking after strange
gods. They have found something in
Whitman that even their four-eyed
gaze eannot penetrate, and hence fall
down and worthip, like any other
auperstitious race, the thing they can
not understand.
THE 'EXPOSITION OPENED.
The world's fair was opened Mon
day, Piesident Cleveland touching the
button that started the machinery.
It ia estimated that fully 200,000 peo
ple witnessed the opening ceremonies.
The intricacy of the electric machinery
which started the lifeless engines into
Activity, can hardly be realized. As
the button was pressed the mighty en
gines started, flags were unfurled from
very building, hundreds of fountains
ehot their limpid waters 70 feet into
the air, and the grand exposition tak
ing the breath of life, blown into its
nostrils' leaped into active being.
Chicago distinguished itself as it was
generally supposed it would, by doub
ling hotel and restaurant charges, the
day the exposition opened. The Am
erican people will not stand and deliver
At the behest of Chicago, and unless
visitors to tha fair can escape palpable
jobbery in the shape of extortinate
charges, the big goose that is to lay the
golden egg for Chicago business people,
will not materialize. Chicago has
dealt in hogs so long, that her citizens
liave absorbed most of the gentle por---cines
instincts.
The Geary law went into effect yes
terday, and it is safe to say that not
oue per cent of the Chinese have regis
tered. The question is to be argued
before the supreme court next Wednes
. day. Until some decision is reached
nothing will be done towards deporting
Ihe Chinese. Six hundred and twelve
arrived in Portland Tuesday from Vic
toria. Of course they all claimed to be
merchants, but the examination of
.their certificates only j)ermitted four to
land out of 418 examined. Of this
number 121 are held for further exami
nation. 276 being rejected absolutely.
The Mississippi is on a rampage, and
promises to do an immense amount of
damage before it subsides. The Ohio
Is also rising rapidly, and all the
treams of the northern Mississippi
states are at unprecedented stages. In
Ohio the cold weather and continuous
fains have ruined the wheat crop. In
Texas a cloud burst washed away 35
miles of railroad track.
. It Is not only possible but quite prob
able that by the 1st of August the
round trip rate to Chicago from the
Pacific coast will be as low as $50. 0&
TWO OEFESCES.
Jdg Itrlliuger, Tuesday had four
twn iienions chniwd with IHur
llliior to IndiansTup for trial. All
pleaded guilty, and were fined tho
dollars each. The judgo stated that no
nk(, fhifl .. .,,,. uonuw) ttii
fU h u , j,,,, somo
K
time, but gave notice that should any
of them be brought before him again,
they w ould gvt the full penalty of the
law. It is sincerely to le hojed that
the farce of lining prisoners guilty of
thisotl'enseflO, which was a particular
hobby of the late Judge Peady's, will
ho discontinued. Either some punish
ment should bo inllioted or the law
Ignored. As It has leu under IVady's
regime, prisoners that cost fliiH) to con
vict were fined $10. Another thing we
would call his honor's attention to, is
that nearly every man who sells liquor
to an Indian, also violates the revenue
laws in selling without a license, and
there- is no reason why the lower of
fense should be choseu In dealing out
punishment.
' That the world's fair is an cpitomo
of the progress of civilisation was em
phasized when Mrs. Totter Palmer,
president of the board of lady mano
gers, stepped out from among the
timing of well-dress women gathered
in the assembly-room of the woman's
building, and bravely drove the last
nail into that historic structure, the
first of the kind ever built in connec
tion with any international exposi
tion." Great Is Potter Palmer ! Great Is
Mrs. Potter Palmer! and passing
great, the reporter who created the
above item. It is startling news in
deed, that Mrs, P. Palmer stepped out
from a crowd of "well dressed" women,
and affords all of us a feeling of relief
to know that the wife of the president
of the great exposition does not associ
ate with poorly dressed ladies. And
then to think of the bravery and forti
tude the lady showed in driving a nail
Warm thrills of admiration at her he!
roism, play hide and seek up and
down ones spinal column with cold
chills of doubt, but If 'tie true, it would
have well been worth the price of a lie
pass, to see tho well dressed heroine,
belabor that nail, and vicinity, with a
fae-simile of George Washington's
hatchet.
Instructions have been issued by the
treasury department to the U. S.,
marshals not to arrest Chinese who
had not registered by May 5th, as re
quired by the Geary law. The law Is
being tested on constitutional grounds
In the supreme court, and will be ar
gued the 10th. Until then the depart
ment will take no steps toward arrest
ing and deporting those who have not
registered. Should the law be declared
constitutional most of the Chinese will
tie deported, as few have complied
with the law.
Rate cutting has commenced on the
overland lines, an $80 rate having been
fixed by the Trunk line rate commission
at New York, the 2nd making the
round trip from New York to San
Francisco $80. No notice has been re
ceived at Pacific coast points as to the
reduction, at least us to when rates will
go into effect.
The gold in the U. S. treasury is in
creasing slowly, but steadily, and it is
thought the situation will continue to
Improve. The New York bankers, still
hold aloof, but those in Chicago are
ready to back the government at any
time.
Late advices.from Malacca, state that
the cholera is raging there, and the
steamer Peru, sailing from Japan April
19th reports the disease as having a
good foothold there.
NEW FISU LAW.
After the 19th of this month it will
be unlawful to "sell, or offer for sale, or
have in possession for sale except dur
ing the months of September and
October, any of the various kinds of
trout." From April to November any
one can catch all he can with hook and
line, and can give them away, but can
not sell except as above stated.
A revolution has broken out in
Cuba that is causing the government
great uneasiness. It is probable that
before it is settled, there will be great
loss of life, aud possible that the bold
of Spain on the island may be broken.
The election In Spokane, was an
overwhelming victory for republicans,
the majorities averaging 700.
Hon. L. L. McArthur is In Washing
ton city, and is said to be a candidate
for U. S. district attorney.
Latest reports from Hawaii are to the
effect that Commissioner Blount is in
favor of annexation.
The commissioners for locating the
soldier's home have purchased 40 acres
near Roscburg, and as soon as the plans
have been selected will let the contract
for erecting the building which will
cost $8,000.00.
The floods in Ohio are doing dam
age, that will probably reach up to
the millions. At Urbaua the breaking
of a dam flooded the country causing
the loss of several lives and untold
damage.
The state encampment of the Sons of
Veterans met at Oregon city Tuesday.
Caused by Carelessness,
Sunday night lr. Broslus was called
to White Salmon on account of an ac
cident to little May Walton, agf about
ten years. It seems that the workmen
who were buildli-g the bridge across
the White Salmon, on the Underwood
road, loft some giant pow der caps lying
on the rocks mar the bridge which
were found by the children of the
netghltorhood w ho went to tho bridge
Sunday afternoon. Eight of thesecapa
were found and taken home by them.
Little May Walton undertook to dig
the fulminate out of tho rap w ith a
match, when It exploded, tearing the
first joints oil' the thumb, Index and
middie lingers of the left hand, and
badly lacerating the lingers of the right
hand. Her right eye was injured, it Is
feared so badly that the sight will be
destroyed.
