THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Prof, Houston viii Not be a
Candidate for the
Principalship.
He Thinks the New Board Will
Retain all tho Teachers
Engaged.

Prof. Houston was interviewed by a
REVIEW reporter yesterday.
"Whnt do you think of the action OF
the school board in regard to teachersp'
the reporter asked.
II think IL was about the only thing
that could he done under the circum-
stances the professor replied.
"Do you think the teachers who were
elected by the old board will be re.elect-
ed by the new boardP'
~ think the new board will re-elect all
of the old teachers who wish situations.
ANY other course at this time would be
very unjust to the teachers who were
elected by the old board, They all con-
sidered themselves fairly elected and
several of them, | know, have since re-
fused good offers to teach elsewhere, but
IL is now too late for them to get other
places. / think the new board will con-
slider applicants who were employed by
the old board first and will not throw
any of them out of their places unless
they have very good sense for so doing.n
do you not think that tho now board
will have friends whom they will put in
and thereby not have enough places for
the old teachers2"
No, believe tho members of the new
board are men who will be governed by
justice, rather than friendship"

for less salary than was offered me by
the old board, and there seems to be
such strong feeling among portion of
the people to paying that amount that

That was terrible calamity-for such
it can truthftlly be called--which over
took Spokane Falls, Washington Terri
tory, night before last, in the destruction
by fire of the greater part of the city at
a loss of many millions of dollars. For
tunately there was small loss of life, but
one man having perished according to
late accounts, so that severe AS the blow
is, there is not added TO it the anguish
of mourning for the dead, Spokane
Falls was one of the most fiourishing
young cities of the great northwest, and
her people will, of course, at once pro-
coed to rebuild but the severity of the
blow will long be felt. This most serious
task which now conironts the city au-
thorities is to provide for the immediate
wants of the people, food and shelter
being scarce; but the people of the coun-
try may be depended on to render
prompt and generous aid until such
time as the community will be able to
again provide for itself.

He was with the regiment all through

Age of Persons" gives us S24 persons of
both sexes, of whom about half were
poor and the rest ut least in good cir
cumstances 10 per cent only being pos

to be that poverty, with an iron consti-
tuition and sound lnerves, is most likely
to produce an instance of extreme age
but the possession of the comforts and
amenities of life produces by far the best
average of ages. The average age of the

Hon. John |. Booge, chief clerk of the

yesterday on his way to Olympia. He
has just returned from Spokane Falls,

sence after the fire to look after his bus
iness interests. Mr., Booge is one OF the
men who have staked their faith and
money on Spokane Falls and helped TO
build IL up, he has the most unbounded
confidence in its future.

we have nearly recovered. When came
to the town last Tuesday night the cleo
trio lights were burning and men were
ruin. When left 5000 men were at work
on the streets. An army of that size
will be employed for weeks yet. At
least 800, 600 or 100000 were paid to
these men last night. There is plenty
of money in the place; more than we
need. The bank vaults are filled, and
banking houses and individuals are over
anxious to make loans. Van Valken-
burgh of Amsterdam telegraphed his
agent to place $500 900 more than he al
ready had on insured buildings at per
cent. An unlimited amount of money
has been offered to us at that figure on
good loans.
"To prove to you what live, thrifty
little town it is, 1 need only say that we
are shipping more goods now than we
are receiving, Under the circumstances
you would think the conditions would
be reversed, but they are not. Spokane

depending on the merchants there for
supplies are not disappointed. They
will keep the trade where it Is. In a
short time Spokane will again be one of
