who told of striking "feeder' of gas

The Board Of Education Investigating the
Charges of Bribery Against
Supt. White.
Some Afidayits That Make Mighty spicy
Reading-A Committee Appointed to
Investigate Discussion OF
Teachers Salaries.

To say that the meeting of the buaul of
education last night was red hot. conveys a
very inadequate idea of the torrdity OF the
proceedings. The tight, of course, occurred
over the election of Col. w. J. White TO the
superintendency of the schools. The

When Mr.. EiSenmenger introduced his
whereas" and resolutions to investigate, a

count of the proceedings of the

the opponents of Superintendent White de
sired to have it postponed, and his partisanS
wanted it made at once, as far as was pos
sible. The latter gained their point, and
the board resolved itself into committee OF
the whole To conduct the investigation.
The reporters were enjoined from pub
fishing exactly what occurred in the SeS-
sion of that committee, but there We're
some lively tilts between the members of
the two factions.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
teachers committee was held for the pur-
pose of looking into the charges of
bribery preferred by the Sunday NClrS
against Superintendent White. Several
persons were called before the committee
Ia make statements of their knowledge OF
the matter. The result Of the examination
of these parties is embodied in the subjOined
statement and affidavitS, which We're read
before the committee of the whole:

Final Orph.u. society Meeting.

The OrpheuS vocal society held a final
business meeting at the G. A. X. hall last
night, with a good attendance and the char
acteristic interest. The evening was de
voted 10 the discussion of plans and general
matters for the next season. The following
committee on music was elected: Mrs. c.
c. Kellmer, Mrs. Il. A. Starkey, Messrs
Lyle Burbank. Lutte Frankenberg and
Frank PrOthero. This committees duties
will be to decide on music to be rendered by
the OrpheuS, arrange programmes for the
concerts and examine into the vocal abilities
of all applicants for membership.
1t was decided 10 discontinue the meet
ings of the society until September 6. when
practice will be resumed. There is a strong
sentiment in favor of giving the cantata
Don Munio," by Dudley Buck. which the
society recently rendered with such admiTa-
bic success, in full costume and dramatic
action early next season. No arrangements
for director have been concluded for next
season. but there is an almost unanimous
sentiment toward securing Mr.. Bumen-
chein again.
The society is just now very busy making
arrangements for their complimentary con-
cert to be rendered the Belle Cole company
at the. Grand next Monday evening. 4
large number of tickets have already been
sold, and the society is working with II zeal
that inSureS great success on that occas-
ion. This concert will be- the one musical
event of the season and the character of the
artists composing the company is a guaran-
tee of the magnificent programme which
will be rendered.

Would respectfully announce to the pub
lie that have finally accomplished. after
years of labor and heavy expense. to con
vert the Oregon mill into a first-ClaSs Hun
garian Process mill. Mills built on this
system are but few, and they require more
elaborate and expensive system OF ma
chinery than mills built on the common run
of process mills now in operation, and We
claim to manufacture flour equal tO the best
mills in the northwest 1t is claimed that
flour made on this high process will make
nicer, whittier and SpOngier bread. which will
retain moisture and sweet taste longer than
bread made from flour which is manufaC-
tured of the cheap roller process, and it is
proved that this new granulated, sharp
flour. which is made on porcelain rollers
instead of iron ones. will absorb more
water and make considerable more bread Ia
the barrel than flour made on the cheap
roller process, which makes HAT flour and
consequently heavy bread.
Ask your grocer for kratOchwilrS Snow
Flake and Patent Process Flour. Ii is the
best, cheapest and most uniform flour in
the market.

probably be the place selected on account
of its superior central location, but there is

honor. The time for holding the county

The reading of the affidavitS created de
Cided sensation. Mr.. Pence had said, in
answer To question, that his statement
was absolutely true, yet the affidavits were
all against him and naturally paralyzed his
statement.
No proof was brought to sustain the
charge of bribery and the committee de
cided to rise and report the above affidavitS
and stat, ment To the board, and give them
to the newspapers for publication.
After the committee of the
whole had reported. Mr.. Warren went
still farther and moved that committee of
five be appointed to further investigate the
charges The motion carried and the com
mittee was appointed. The persons who
,have been crying the charge of bribery will
now be afforded an opportunity to furnish
proof of their assertions.
TEACHERS SALARIES.
The committee on teachers reported in
favor of raising the salaries of certain of
the teachers who had served long and faith
fully. The report caused lively discussion.
Ii was cOntended that il would he iuadyiS-
able to raise the salaries of teachers at this
time when the people were so heavily
burdened by taxes on account of the recent
floods.
4 uniformity in salaries was considered
necessary, so the salaries of all the princi-
pals was fixed at $1,000. The salary of
Frank Z. Davidson. principal of the High
school, was made 81. 100, his being an ex-
ceptiOnal case.
Ii will be noted in the proceedings
of the board, which appear in this
paper in another place, that the salaries
of several teachers were raised. but that is
explained by a rule of the board, which
provides that Il primary teacher shall re-
ceive $3.50 for the first year, S4OO for the
second, and $3.50 per year thereafter.
