The pliblio schools of Hood River open next Monday. An able eorpaof teachers has been engaged, and every thing promises well for the school as It has in the past few years. Pupils should be given every encouragement possible by their parents and guardians, and during school hours they should he at school and excused from all other work. The teachers also deserve some consideration. If the pupils are kept from school any part of the time, the teachers are the first to regret their ab sence. Teachers take pride in the ad vancement of their pupils, and if they are kept from school without good rea hods how can they be expected to ad vance tind keep up with their more punctual classmates? Tardiness is an other fault for which "the pupil is not altogether to blame. If tardiness and absenteeism could be banished from our schools there would be a whole some advancement among the pupils and the terrors of examination week would not be so keenly felt. Give the teachers all the assistance you- can in helping to get the children off to school and by seeing that nothing but sick ness prevents their attendance. Fre quent visits to the school by the par ents Is appreciated by the teachers, and the pupils are benefited -byAhe knowl edge that someone is taking an interest in them. 1 The Glacier is In receipt of a book from Hon. Binger Hermann, commis sioner of the general land office, en titled, "The Louisiana Purchase and Our Title West of the Rocky Moun tains, with aReview of Annexation by the United States." The book is full of information for the student of history. There are maps of America as early as 1684, and one showing the boundaries of the Louisiana purchase and all other territory annexed by the United States. The work was gotten out by Commissioner Hermann to cor rect a late map prepared by the interior department and to show that the Lou isiana purchase extended westward only to the summit of the Rocky Mountains. The incompetency; of our quarter master, commissary and medical de partments of the volunteer army is te ing shown up by the press, and inves tigations and court-martials are prom ised.;,; The glorious achievements of our armies in the field are for the time forgotten, and to read the charges and counter charges in the attempt to fix the blame for the suffering of our troops one might think we were the vanquish ed instead of the victors in the late war. The reduced republican vote In Maine is another straw to show which way the political breeze is blowing. If the democratic party had not gone crazy on the silver question it would now have the dead wood on control ling tlie next congress and electing the next president. - But, as Gen. Grant once remarked, the party can be. re lied upon to do the wrong thing at the right time. The Insurgents in the Philippines seem determined to make trouble for our troopa. Their leader, Auginaldo, is making every endeavor towards work ing up a sentiment for independence among the natives. If tie has 67,000 men, as he claims, it may be necessary to reinforce our army in the Philip pines, and the Oregon recruits may yet get to go to Manila. Ex-Senator Mitchell is said to hold three aces In bis canvass for re-election to the United States senate, viz:' The backing of the administration, the Southern Pacific Railroad company and $100,000. But there is likely to be a gentleman in the game that will O-or-bett that 'his three aces are not worth a nickel. " , Gov. Lord went to San Francisco to investigate the condition of the Oregon recruits. - He reports their camp in good , shape and the boys doing well but anxious to go to Manila. The gov ernor has asked the war department to send them to their regiment or else send them home. , The chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington estimates the cost of governing- our captured territory at $200,000,000 a year. That statistician must be a copperhead. Such figuring as' that will show that Spain got the best of the bargain in the late war. ' Hon.Emlle Schanno will have charge of the exhibit of fruit from The Dalles at the Portland exposition. Hood River should send a good exhibit of apples, of which we can make a splendid show ing this year. ' j - '. The railroad war is is over, and all Western roads have agreed to establish the old rates after September 21st. , The Grab Policy. Hillsboro ArgUB. , It is very well for our expansionists to quibble about commerce and civili zation, etc., but the real pusher of this ichcme is the brute force fellow, the mind which sees in vast standing ar mies the criterion of the common wealth. Colonial expansion is the twin creature of officialism and force, the two great incentives to and breed ers of revolution. Napoleon was your true expansionist and he came to grief. England lias bled her people to the ex tent of twice over the profit from the trade enjoyed to govern her colonial possessions. India today would revolt but tor the thousands of armed men, hired by England, camped upon Indian-soil. It is the grab policy. It is the policy that supports the springs from royalty and militaryism. The American cannot be a colonial expan sionist. He knows the Anglo-Saxon can never amalgamate with the infe rior races, and he knows that America's truest greatness lies in American insti tutions. The Latins and East Indians cannot be galvanized with American Ism. We can trade with tliem but we can't Americanize them. By holding Manila we gain commercial control; by holding the Philippines entirely we simply Invite evils we want not. It is well that McKinley is a conservative, and it is hoped that he will not be swayed by the pennywise and pouud foolish. AN OPEN RIVER. County Court Annnls the Lease Giren to ' the Hood River Lumbering Co. The topic of most interest in Hood River during the past ten days has been - the case in the county court wherein petitioners asked for the an nulment of the lease of Hood River to the Hood River Lumbering Co. The case was called for Monday, and a good many of our citizens were on hand to testify on behalf of the peti tioners if called upon. Attorney W.H. Wilson appeared for petitioners and Huntington & Wileo'n for defendants. County Commissioner Evans had given the subject, bis whole attention for a week previous, and, together with G. J. Gessllng and C. A. Bell, exam ined the river from the falls down to see what improvements, if any, had been. made by the company claiming the river. They failed to find where a single stone bad been turned or any sign made of improving the channel of the river. The county court promptly complied with the requeet of the peti tioners and declared the lease null and void. If the matter is now taken to a higher court Wasco county is bound to defend the action of the county court. Below we give the findings of the court in full, which were signed bythecouu ty judge and the two commissioners: In the county court of the state of Oregon for Wasco county. In the matter of the leas lug of Hood river. Now, on tMs 12th day of September, 1808, this cause coming on. for hearing upon the petition of C. B. Bone and others, praying that the lease of Hood river heretofore granted to the Hood River Lum bering Co. be-eet aside, the petitioners appear ing by W. H. Wilson as- counsel and the Hood Elver Lumbering Co. appearing by Audlbon Winans, president of said company, and by B. S. Huntington as counsel; and It appearing that said petition was filed in this court on the 7th day of September; 1898, and that the hearing thereof was thereupon set for the 12th day of September, 1898, at the hour of 1 o'clock p. m and that a citation was forth with issued to said company requiring it to appear at said time to show cause wby said lease should not be set aside and held for naught, wich citatiorf was regularly served upon Bald company on the 8th day of Septem ber, 1898, in Wasco county, Oregon. And the cause coming on for bearing at said time as aforesaid, B. S. Huntington of counsel for said company, protested against the hearing of said cause upon the ground Uat the court had no Jurisdiction of the subject matter or of the person of the Hood River Lumbering Co, but stating that if the court would grant ten days that they would make a showing on behalf of said company as to Its compliance with ;he terms of the contract between said company and said county. And tbe court deciding to proceed with the hearing of said matter, tbe president and attorney for said Hood River Lumbering Co. withdrew therefrom and from the court room, and the court having callod witnesses and, tbey having testified concern ing the failure of said company to comply with the terms of the agreement between said company and said county, and being fully advised, finds as follows: That on tbe 16th day of January, 1896, an agreement was made and entered into by and between Wasco county, party of the first part, and the Hood Klver Lumbering Co., a corpo ration, party of the second part, wherein the puty of the first part leased to tbe party of the second part for a term of 60 years the stream of Hood river and the west fork of Hood river, also the middle fork of Hood river, all as described in a contract or ieaso of said date, reference to which- for the partic ular terms thereof is hereby made, and also to tbe record thereof In the commissioners' Jour nal of said county. That as a condition prec edent to said lease the court required of said party of the second part to give a bond, with in ten days after the date of said lease, in the sum of $2,580, to be approved by said court, conditioned for the faithful performance of the conditions of said lease and the covenants and agreements thereof on the part of said party of the second part. That said party of the Becond part never gave said bond as re quired or at all, and no bond was ever receiv ed or approved by said court. That said lease contained a provision to the effect that said party of the second part might abandon said business in said lease mentioned, and in such case that said lease should at once terminate. That said party of the second part abandoned sa,id lease and said business, and said lease thereon terminated, if it ever had any exist ence or legal effect. That said party of tbe second part has wholly failed to do or perform any of the covenants or agreements of said lease upon Its part to be done or performed, and has wholly failed to Improve said stream or any portion thereof, or to secure the right of way therefor from the Owners of the land alopg said stream, or made any necessary or any Improvements thereon or therein, and the court being fully advised; Therefore, it is ordered that said lease should be and the same Is hereby declared to be null and void, and that this order is intended as a notice to said party of the second part, said Hood River Lumbering Co., that said county will not hereafter recognize said lease or that tbe said party of the second part has any rights therein or thereunder, or to any of the rights or privileges therein mentioned.

E writes to his mother from Cavite, under date of August 6th, about 10 days before the surrender of Manila, from which we glean the following: We have some great wind storms here, but not much thunder or light ning lately. Lots of rain every day. Not very hot. We get a cool breeze once and awhile. I do not call this an unhealthy climate from what we have seen of it. It is about like some of the weather we get in Oregon iu the fall, u hen the first rains set in. Lots of rain in showers, and in the regulation Oregon style, too. In fact, rain in any style you could wish. There is a young man here named Lyons, from Hood River, 'at least be worked there for the Oregon Lumber Company. Also a friend of Frank Watson's I just can't think of his name. He used to work at the Winans' fishery at The Dalles. All the Hood River boys are in good health. I have been through about 15 or 20 old Spanish dungeons so far and have not seen all of them around here yet. I was iu an old Catholic church the other day, where there were sever al old oil-paintings of Spanish priests and the like, and one Spaniard who is a prisoner or friend of the natives, I don't know which, wanted to tut one of these big paintings out of the frame for us, but we stopped him from doing it after be had already stuck his knife Into the edge of the canvas. All the boys are kicking themselves because they did not bring cameras with them. Beauty la Ulood Deep. Clean blood means a clean skin. No beauty without it.
