The mass meeting advertised last
week,- to fce held in the State Street
school house, was fairly well attended,
especially by the "hill" residents. The
meeting was called by the school board
for the purpose of getting expressions of
school patrons in regard to providing for
the rapidly increasing school children.
The schools are now unable to care for
the children, and unless more room is
provided, a large numlier of pupils will
be unable to attend school at the be
ginning of the fall term.
W. J. Baker, president of the school
board, called the meeting to order, Dr.
Dumble secretary. Mr. Baker stated
that the board would be compelled to
provide for additional school facilities
before the bettinninir of the fall term,
and wished to iri't expressions from the.
citizens as to what was uesirett, anu ine
board would act accordingly, it would
require thirty days' notice to vote on
the bonds necessary to be raised to meet
the expense, and something must tte
done at once. He stated that the school
census in 1!WZ was ou, requiring six
teachers. In 1903 the number was 53,
with nine teachers, and the 1904 census
would show about 700 pupils of school
age, requiring twelve teachers to prop
erly care for the, pupils. This would
require at least three more teachers and
three more school rooms. Whether the
board were to provide room only for Im
mediate needs, or anticipate future ne
cessities, would I leff to the eifiaens to
decide. Also as to the site for the new
rooms. The hill district wanted a school
located in that neighborhood, but land
would have to be purchased, while if ad
ditional room wail built ort the grounds
now occupied, it would save expense.
E. L. Smith spoke in favor of pro
viding a new "school liouse on the hill,
large enough to provide what would
probably be the requirements for a num
ber of years, which met with the ap
proval of the hill citizens present, and
met with no opposition.
A C Ul.ttw..Mj aw..ilriij f.tf tl.a lwtar.l
stated that the location of a site on the
hill would depend upon whether land
could be purchased at a reasonable price,
or whether some public-spirited citizen
was willing to donate ground, or at least
sell it at a low price, in which case a
much better building could lie built. In
case a suitable location could not be ob
tained at a reasonable figure the board
might be compelled to build on the State
street grounds,, which were large enough
to accomodate another addition to the
present building. This brought the re
tort from O. I.. Stranahan that he did
not know of the people under the hill
ever giving anything for school purposes',
whereupon Mr. Blowers reminded him
that the State street grounds had been
donated,
To get the matter properly before the
meeting1, I). McDonald moved that the
board be instructed to select a site on
the hill suitable to the erection of a
4-room school building. This motion
carried without objection, after short
remarks by H. M.. Abbott, E. K. Brad
ley, and others.
Dr. Dumble stated that in his rides
through the country, he often met small
children wading through the mud or
snow, going two miles to school, climb
ing down the bluff and' back again on
their way home. ' He thouirht several
children were kept out of school by their

The question of (laying the bonds,

the opinion that the present rate of in

Frost Murtt Prune Taees. -Portland
Telegram.
Italian prunes, homegrown, are likely
to be scarce, and the price high, if the
damage done to them by frost is as severe
as reported. From Clackamas and Yam-,
hill counties come the reports that frost
has almost completely ruined the crop
there. Kejorta from Douglascouuty are
to the effect that the prune crop has been
greatly damaged. The same report has
been received Baker county. Morrow
county promises only, a short crop on
account of frost, and the proBpects in
Josephine county are uncertain. From
the rest of the state the reports we all

secretary of the state horticultural com
mission expressed his opinion this morn
ing that the crop of prunes would be all
right, and that the price would not be
prohibitive. From wfiat he hud learned,
the crop, although damaged by frost in
localities, has not been materially affect

The retni'ar weekly crop bulletin
leaned by the local ofiice of the United
States' WeBther Bureau, shows that the
crop in places will be a total failure on

In a few localities hops have been in

vegetables bave been slightly injured by

are being planted, and considerable land
is being piepared for torn, but not much

CATS SUCKING. BREATH.
OU Wtwa rU Tkaat Hu Mrrti
West P sa.
Can a cat really suck the breath of a
tblld?
We hart always heard that It could.
Away back In early childhood wa dis
tinctly remember frequerit warnings
to look out for the cat Do not allow
the cat to gat Into bed wkh you, esp
dally to get Into bed with the baby, at
It Is liable to suck the baby's breath,
which would cause the baby to die.
Is there any foundation for such a
notion aa this Wa never cld discov
er any real meaning to the belief that
a cat can suck the breath of a child.
Indeed the sentence la totally unintel
ligible. What la meant by sucking the breath 1
It may be true that the cat, attracted '
by the breath of a child who bad re
cently been nueslng, might attempt to
Interfere in some manner with the
child's mouth. In young cats the Im
pulse to nurse might tie excited by the
smell ot the child's breath. It Is bare
ly possible that the cat might be seised
with a desire to bite or to devour the
child's lips or tongue, lured on by the
smell of milk. We are not In a posi
tion to deny these possibilities. Maybe
they are true.
But not any of these suppositions fur
nish a basis for the statement that the
cat Is liable to suck the child's breath.
We have always beard this statement
with a shudder of horror. It aeems to
convey some weird, horrible tragedy
that cm hardly be Imagined. But it la
a mars fancy, the origin of which is
hard to explain.
let we would advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the Infant with
a cat We do not favor the Idea of
cats sleeping with children, nor do we
favor the practice of children playing
with eata, handling them, mopping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up aa dolls. It la not
good for the cat; It la not good for the
child. Neither cats nor dogs ought to
be treated In this manner. They are
all right In their place, but they are
not fit for playthings.
, If ths superstition that a cat can
suck a child's breath baa operated as
a preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with cats, It has served
a very good purpose, but such childish
notions are hardly compatible with ma
ture reflection. It la one of the old
wives' fables which may have aerved
a good purpose, but it Is too ridiculous
for repetition. There are other and
better reasons why the cat and baby
should not be left together than the
vague, unintelligible fear that the cat
will suck the child's breath.-Medlcal
Talk.
The Cm ( CfcU4ia.
It la usually accepted without ques
tion that the modern scientific meth
ods used In the care and bringing up
of infanta tend to Increase the average
duration of human, life. Mr. Charlton
T. Lewis, writing In Harper's Weekly,
presents a different view. When In
fants were treated with lees wisdom,
be points out, the wesker perished and
the stronger survived. When the sick
are cared for so that a large number
recover from disease, it Is Inevitable
that on the average those who are thus
rescued must be weaker than the com
munity to which they are restored.
Thus all these influences, says Mr.
Lewis In conclusion, while saving life,
"tend especially to save Uvea which
rw isnue in greater proportion wan
those which are strong and thua In the
end must lower the vitality of the
great maas of the population."
