Hood Out for ood Koailg Tho people of road district No. 8, Geo. M. Wisbart, supervisor, made move in the right direction, when they voted a seven mill special tax foi the improvement of tne Neil Creek road. They thoroughly understood when they did this that the county court would levy a teu mill (ax or as large a tax as the law allowed tor road purposes. This making with the sev en mill special levy, a tax of seven tee, a mills for tire impiovement of the county highways. There Is nothing that will improve any country or any community as much as good loads. Ihe entetpiisiug people ot the Upper Hood Kiver valley realize this, aud thin euterprlsiug spirit, no doupt, has doue much to attract the vast number of people who 1 re now put ting their money in this tection with the avowed purpose of making it their permanent borne. Transportation fa cilities have long been the barrier to their progressive advancement. This is now solved. Railroad transporta tion to the beait of the Upper Hood Kiver valley is uow an assured thing. This with the good roads the people are determined to have, will make this one of the most attractive spots ot our great valley. Good roads is the oue thing that Hood Kiver needs. It U tfie one thing we must have at any cost. Good roads should be our buttle cry. Ev erybody should assist the county couit iu building good loads. Every dis trict should follow the example of road distriot No. 8, and vote some special tax to further the extension of good roads. The wealthy road dis tricts near town cannot afford to let the outlaying distrlota iu the Upper Hood Kiver valley take the lead iu anything that has so much to do with advanced civilization, as good roads. DEDICATION OF NEW BUILDING HIGH SCHOOL FORMALLY OPENED ood Crowd of Patrons and thildreu the Ce rcmonlert Saturday Evening. An event of much interest was the dedication of the new . high tobool buildnig Saturday evening, and in iplte of the Inclement weather there was a good crowd in attendance. The exeioises weie held in the as sembly hall, which extends the whole length ot the north halt of the upper stoiy, making an ideal place for liter ary and other entertainments in line with educational work. The meeting, was called to order nt 7:30 p. in. by Prot. E. E. Coad, coun ty aud city superintendent 01! schools. The tirst number on the program was the singing of America by the au diouce, with Miss Newtown at the piano. State Superintendent Acker man was then introduced, who made au iuteretiing address of twenty or thirty minutes. He said in part: "1 have been looking forwaid to this event for niueteon years, and fif teen years ago 1 said that Hood Kiver would have a school system that would be second to none in the atate. I always feel that Hood Kiver ii like home, as it was the first plaoe I aet foot on Oregon aoil when I oame weat. "The people of Hood Kiver should be congratulated on this maguiliceut building. You have built tor the fu ture. 1 predict that you will have in five or ten years 000 high school stu dents. You will have a room set apart for the teaching ot domestio sci euce, where the young ladies will learn to keep the home iu the very best way. You will have auuther room set apart tor manual trainlug, where will also be taught elementary horticulture. "The high school should not in fringe ou the pure college couises, but lead up to them, so that tho grad uate tioru the high school can go di rect to college, or it it is desired to stop there, will be well equipped in education for the world' battle. You can build up a high school here equal to Portland. "The high school wai first develop ed iu the Willamette valley. Ten years ago there were only five cities in the state that had a four-veer course of study. There waa no law at that time authorizing a high school system. The Oregonian advocated that there should be no free educa tion above the eighth grade, main taining that if a student got that , far ana was interested ue or sue would get the rest at the higher places of (learning. That paper fought the high souool ao bard in Portland twenty-live years go, when the walla were up for the building that the oitizeua were unable to vote a tax to complete it. tlaivey tioott tought the high school for 35 years, but at last said to me, 'You have beaten me out.' He ia now a loyal supporter of the high school system. "Eight years ago we suoceeded in getting 11 bill through the legialature authoilzing distrlota by a vote of the people to tench grades above the eighth. We weie to fearful ot asking too muoh and not getting anything, on acoouut of the opposition, tbut the bill did not oover enough ground. and no mention wat made of a high sohool in the bill. At the next ses sion the bill was amended with the words high school in it, and broaden ed its scope. "In Luue county six districts came in and organized a Jbiiib sohool dis trict. It ia plan whloh will be follow ed ni many places. In the oragnizing ot high school.distilcts state Hid can be secured. II the aonoola did uotn iug more than keep children at home between the ages of "14 aud 18, it would pay. That ia the time when the children need careful looking ut ter. It is a time when the parents should know where they are, and es- peoally iu the evening after sohool boms. "1 wish to relate 11 n .incident that happened a couple of years ago. While walking down Broadway, Mew York, with a tiieud from this state, we saw some beautiful red apples in a win dow.
