workers to use their political influence in the
Gauss Of temperance.
The third resolution was in substance that
no Temperance man should vote for drinker,
or ono who will not pledge himself to do all
in his power to advance that cause.
On motion of DIR. Geary, the President was
authorized to appoint, at time optional with

had her woman suffrage resolution intro

Of Eugene. saying that they wero never Ia a
community which paid 50 much attention TO

By reference to our advertising columns it
will be seen that the Board Of School Direc-
tors OF this district have called meeting Of
the legal voters to take action upon the ques-
tiOu of levying = special tax for the maiuten-
ance Of free schools. At the same fime the
question viii be considered of enlarging the
present school buildings, or selling them and
erecting others. These questions are of great
moment and the attendance at the meeting
should be large. 1t Is an acknowledged fact
that our schools now rank higher than ever
before. but at the same time the buildings
are perfectly inadequate to accommodate
those wishing 20 attend, and more room must
be provided. This viii take money. The
question then which the people must decide
is-will we have free schools: Ii this ques-
ton is decided in the affirmative. more school
room must be provided. or tie schools al
lowell to degenerate into wha; they were ten
or fifteen years ago. All those interested in
these questions should at once c,.mnience in

Albany has one very obzervant individual
who is so well posted in everything that he
can correct us whenever We make an error,
and Judging from appearances he is very will

We arrived at the conclusion that he was alto
gether too willing. When We placed that
item IN our columns relating 10 the price OF
wheat It was correct. end it Is so yet. We
know of several thousand bushels of wheat
having been soil during the past three weeks
at 81 per busheI and only last week, at Just
about the time probably that the HeraM ed

their popular festivals last Wednesday
evening, and also spread twO-bit lunch
yesterday. It was not yet known exactly
what the receipts had been when we went
to press, but It is very probable that they
have netted fully 500. The tables looked
magnificent and were loaded down with
good things and the ladies spared no pains
to attend TO the wants of all the guests.
We hope they may give many more festi-

fully as much success as tho one on
