The fees collected by County Record er J. O. Siegmund during the month of June aggregated $319.55. While the business of the recorder's offlee was as heavy, if not heavier than that of the corresponding month last year, the total amount of the fee collected was about $70 less, the decrease being due to the change in the fee law which was brought about. during the last session of the legislature. In some eases the fees were eut down one-half by the new; law, while in others they were materially reduced. Have you read our great dubbing offer in this issue?

Investigation of Charges Against Pro fessor Traver Is Again Deferred One Teacher Resigns and More "Quits" Expected. (From Sunday's Daily.) Commonplace and matter-of-fact in deed was the nature of the meeting of the board of school directors in the police court room of the city hall last evening, as compared to the previous sessions when the multiplicity of sen sations were sprung upon the board and the public There were some in teresting features ; in connection with the meeting, however, but the most im portant matters to come up tor con sideration were deferred to the next meeting for final action. The only reference made to the eharges preferred against Professor Traver, in reference to the alleged at tempt to gra'4. Contractor McPherson upon the award of the heating contract tor the new . school building, was to ward the close of the meeting when Dr. Byrd arose to offer further excuses for the special committee's unprepar edness to make a report upon its find ings, as promised at the last meeting. He stated that the only news in con nection with the matter was the re ceipt of a communication from Mr. Carson, the author of the charges, and this letter was read in open meeting. Mr. Carson has said the failure to produce the evidence to support the eharges preferred against Professor Traver, in reference to the alleged at tempt to graft upon the matter of the awarding of the contract for the heat ing plant for the new school, was due to the fact that Mr. McPherson, upon whom the attempted graft is alleged to have been perpetrated, was absent from the state and could not appear to give oral testimony. In the letter to Dr. Byrd, chairman, of the investigat ing committee, Mr. Carson states that Mr. McPherson is ready to give the testimony required, and, in order to do it, is willing to pay the expenses of a special commission from the board to prosecute the inquiry. At the conclusion, of the reading of the letter Chairman Condit remarked that thie matter belonged to the com mittee and the board had nothing to do with it until properly reported to it. Dr. Byrd then stated that he mere ly desired to inform the board of the reason for not being able to report as he had notified them and said for his part that he did not care to have any body pay his fare to Portland and even if they did he did not intend to go as the matter was not of that much im portance to him, and, so far as he was concerned he was in favor of dismiss ing the matter. Mr. Croisan then stat ed that he wanted to see Professor j Traver exonerated of the' charges and it the' parties who had preferred them ! could furnish the evidence they claimed they had access to he, for one, was anxious to have them do it and give the professor a fair show. Professor Traver, who was present at the meeting, then stated in substance that he thought if the committee would fix a date for a meeting this week Mr. Carson would doubtless come forward with his evidence. He thought that it was up to Mr. (.'anion to collect and furnish the evidence and testimony of Mr. McPherson and others, without re ouiring the board to send a commission to Portland, and he would do it, per haps, if given an opportunity. After some further discussion upon the sub ject of a minor character it was de cided to leave the matter in the 'hands of the committee, where it now rests and let them solve the problem to suit themselves, i Want Miss Myers Reinstated. The next most important matter to come up for' consideration of the board was a petition" from tue patrons of the Lincoln school, who requested the re instatement of Miss Maude' Myfers, whose resignation as a teacher of that school had been asked and accepted by ; the board at the same time the Misses Bessie Smith and Grace Belling er were deposed. This petition was signed by . sixty-eight residents of South Salem, and it was read and or dered placed on file. This was fol lowed by the reading and acceptance of the resignation of Miss. Carrie M. Ogle, who has accepted a position in the public schools of Portland. Later in the evening an election took place to fill this vacancy, when a Mrs. Chap pel was elected to fill the place over Miss U'ren by a vote of three to two. It then developed that the resignation of Professor Goode had also been ex pected, as was that of Miss Hickok, but neither materialized, although Pro fessor Traver informed the board that that of Miss Hickok had just as well be considered as of record, since he had secured her signature to a con tract to teach at Pendleton and had forwarded the contract there. Miss Hickok leaves the Salem school on ac count of failing health and the advice or. her physician, who instructs her to seek a higher altitude. The report of the committee on finance, which appears in another col umn of this issue, was placed on file, read and adopted, and the clerk au thorized to negotiate the loans sug gested from the local banks as a means of tiding the district over until the popular loan ; could be floated. It de veloped that $7,000 was already due as fourth payment" upon the school building contract, which was author ized to be paid, and that another pay ment of $5,400 would become due one week hence. ' It also developed that, on account of the delay in tne delivery of pressed brick by the Newberg brick yard management, the contractors were obliged 'to lay the bricx masons off for a couple of weeks to await the arrival of this material. High School Question Discussed. Chairman ' Condit brought up the question of the inauguration of the high school course and this precipitated a lengthy discussion, participated in by Superintendent Powers, who was pres ent at the meeting for. the first -time, and it was finally decided to pass the matter over to the next regular meet ing, when the superintendent could submit a report as to the requirements for the equipment of the - necessary laboratories for the carrying o of the t scientific courses, as mis meeting ib matter of the election of an instructor in science will also be taken up ani disposed, of. - - " ' Upon being questioned Professor Powers estimated the cost of apparatus for the equipment of the laboratories at about , $tO0, but he thought much cheaper and proportionately less ser viceable apparatus could doubtless be purchased, but he would not - advise it when first class instruction and ' re sults in experimental work were tak en into consideration. ; The question of the election, of 'as instructor in the sciences was then taken up, when only One application was presented, that of Professor W. V Fargo, at present en gaged at the MeMinnville college, but this matter was likewise passed over to the next meeting. The rule of wages adopted previously "by the board was that the instructor ia sciences was to' receive $50 per month for , the first year, $60 the second and the principal . .1 1 . A. AO .Vtl i oi lot uepanmcat fsv. xne majority of the members of the board were of the opinion that no good instructor eould be secured at this price and that the schedule would have to be revised and changed. Before the close of the meeting Chair man Condit stated that he desired to inaugurate a reform in the duties ' of the superintendent of schools jn that he would like to have that personage submit a written report of the work performed by him at the end of each month, supplemented with a list of recommendations for the betterment of the school system. , This is an entirely new "wrinkle, ' it having never been required of a superintendent efore, but Mr. Condit .explained his reascV was to show the people the exaet amount of work the superintendent was obliged to perform, 4 especially those who were of the opinion that a super intendent was a luxury and not a neces sity.'' He did not want him to report upon the grade work or progress of the schools, but simply a plain ' state ment of the amount of work the super intendent had performed. Before clos ing he requesteu tue clerk to spread his request upon the minutes of the meeting, which was done. The bond of Clerk Goodale, An the sum of $20,000, with John II. Albert and J. C. Goodale, Sr., as sureties, was read and accepted, and his salary for the past quarter was order paid. Ad journment was taken until next Satur day evening.

Mrs. Jane ' Hitchens- died yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the borne of her daughter, Mrs. William Staiger, corner of Union and High streets. De ceased was born in Red Ruth, England, January 4, 1825, and came to this coun try at the age of twenty years, making her home at Mineral Point, Wis. She was married to Samuel Hitchens, and all their children were born there. In 1880 they came to Oregon, living at ituena Vista, Polk county, for a time, then going to Corvallis, where the de ceased resided till the last ten years. Her husband died at Corvallis thirteen years ago. lie had held the office of city treasurer for a number of terms. In Wisconsin he had been a miner. During the past ten years Mrs. Hitchens had made her home in Salem with her daughter. Besides Mrs. btaiger, deceased leaves three daughters, Airs. - K. E. Paddock of Independence, Mrs. C. O. Lee of Al bany and Mrs. Laura Goldsworthy of Mineral Point, Wis., and one son, George Hitchens of Independence. The funeral will be held from the Staiger home this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. W. C. Kantfler officiat ing. The burial will be in the I. O. O. F. cemetery. Mrs. Hitchens was a deeply religious person all ber life. In her early days! she was a member of the Methodist church. .After settling in Corvallis she joined the Congregational ebureh there, and since her residence in Salem she has .been a member of the First Congregational church of this city. No one ever approached the marge of the dark river with greater confidence or deeper peace. She was perfectly satis fied to go if it was the will of the father. Her whole life had been a peaceful one. Her lord had led her all the way, and she feared not that be would desert her at the last. She had lived in an atmosphere of prayer. Her fervent and eloquent prayers will ever be remembered by members of her church. Her life had been a benedic tion, and in ber going to the brighter shore she had only one regret, and that was that her children might mourn- her departure, which to ber mind was merely a folding of the drapery about her and lying down to pleasant dreams, or taking a little journey to the better country beyond the portals of what we call death."

As the weeks pass by the days at the fair become more and more full of in- I terestine events. National and inter state associations and fraternal orders meet in quick succession. Tuesday and Wednesday were given over to the W- C. T. U. convention. The Oregon building was turned over to its use Addresses, musie and a gold medal contest were the features of the two day's stay at the Rose city. Tuesday was also Oklahoma day. Those who could claim that ambitious territory as home sported large purple badges. Simultaneously came the Na tional Editorial Association whieh had been holding its annual meeting at Guthrie, OkkL, and for three days these knights of the pen enjoyed the hospi tality of the fair. Their headquarters being at the American Inn they were thus enabled to devote their time to the fair attractions. Tbey were so ex tremely pleased with what they aw and with the attention accorded them that it is safe to predict that our fair will be widely exploited in their re spective papers.' Beception to Admiral. The reception and ball given by the officials of the fair to Rear-Admiral Goodrich at the American Inn was one of the most delightful functions of the fair. As "is usual where brass buttons and gold braid are in evidence, .the af fair was brilliant and gay. The American Inn is beginning to be appreciated for its ability to serve a large number of guests at inactions of this kind, ' It is said that the dinner given to Hon. W. W. Cotton in con gratulation of his attainment to the honor of filling the high office of the late Judge Bellinger, was one of the finest ever given here. It is certainly a most attractive place. Cards were sent out on Monday af ternoon for a reception to Governor Pardee in the California building. There was a large response to the in vitations. Governor and Mrs. Pardee handled the long line of ladies and gentlemen who assisted them in the entertainment. The Caltfornians are strictly loyal. They served entirely native products and in a happily in formal way. A long table was set with the dainties to which everyone was invited to ehoose of whatever suited the fancy. They always serve punch, and such punch! Such insidu ous punch. Delightful Luncheon. Tuesday Mrs. DeLancy M. Ellis gave a most delightful luncheon in the New York building, of whieh she is the hostess. The building was beautifully decorated with blue lackspur and Car oline Test out roses. The immense tsble was laid with twenty covers. The menu was dainty and elaborate. The ladies were all handsomely gowned. Tuesday evening the New York buildin- opened its hospitable doors. This time it was for a reception to the National Editorial Association. The receptions at this building are always largely attended as they are always sucb delightful affairs. Suffragists Meet.

Mrs. An thony, although 85 years of age, is ae tiv and full of vouthful visor. Her lieutenants are brilliant and talented women. A reception was tendered them in the Oregon building On Friday afternoon when all had a chance to meet these noted women. Vancouver Entertains, ' Friday Vancouver of Clark county, Wash., entertained largely in the Wash ington building. It really seems as if the Washingtonlana were endeavoring to ontdo one another as well as the Oregonians, each locality being enthus iasts for itself. The Innes band that has so charmed the fair froers since its opening, was bidden farewell this week with many expressions of regret. The Liberati band has taken its place and as Liber ati is well known in Portland, having been here a number of times, there is no fear but that the concerts will be a pleasant feature this next month. "I. A. M. " in his communication of last Tuesday spoke of the insuf ficiency of the amount of fruit . and flowers sent to the Marion county ex hibit. He is right, there is a great de ficiency. It is a pity, too, for as a county, it has been demonstrated over and over again at our state fairs, that we can carry off the honors, why not here, then, where there is broader field. Mrs. Murphy who has charge of the booth, makes the best display pos sible with what is sent but the sup ply is entirely inadequate. CLERGYMEN LIVE LONGEST. In his book on "Nerves in Order," Dr. Schofield, formerly examiner for the (British) National Health Society, gives a table of longevity whieh shows that the Christian ministry is the most healthful of callings. Here is his list, the occupations being arranged in or der of longevity: Clergy (Church of England); dissent ing ministers; farmers, agricultural laborers, grocers, lawyers, drapers, coal miners, watch makers, artists, shoemsk- ers, bakers, clerks, chemists (apothe- caries), green grocers, tailors, doctors, bus men, sweeps, publicans, barmen (barkeepers). A curious and an instructive list. We make only the obvious comment that clergymen live the best lives and conseauentlv the longest; and the farmers come next. Everybody s Mag azine.
