Post Office Buildings.

The House committee on postoffices
and post roads last week authorized
favorable report on the bill introduced
in the House by Blouht to provide for
office buildings. The bill as reported
provides that there shall be in the
postoflice department one architect
and superintendent of construction,
at a salary of $4,000 per year, one
draughtsman at salary of $1,000 Il
year, and two draughtsmen at salaries
of 81 800 each. The Postmaster Cen
eral is authorized to have prepared by
the draughtsmen and his assistants,
designs for postoliice buildings, which
before being adopted shall be approved
by the Secretary of the Treasury and
Postmaster General and Secretary of
the Interior, the buildings to be of
such variable size as may be required
without injury to harmony of design.
These designs shall be of uniform
general character and exterior APP
pearance as far as may be the most
expedient for the services. The Post
master General is directed to con-
struct postoffice building at any
place at which the gross receipts OF
the postotiice Tor two years or more
preceding shall have exceeded $4,000
in each year, the cost of sNch building
shall be proportionate to the receipts
at various points. The bill appropri-
ates out of the postal revenues to be
available during the current year and
until exhausted and to be expended for
the purpose OF this act $2O0O0OO, to
be drawn from the treasury and ex-
pended and accounted therefor, and
audited in the same manner as other
expenditures for the postal service.
If the bill passes, which seem likely
as all Congressman are interested, this
will insure buildings at the following
cities and towns in Oregon and Wash
ington. State of Oregon: Ashland

SELF IMPROVEMENT.
Papers read before the Helping Hand.

Compulsory education for children
meets with the approval of the people,
but how would it be taken if one were
to hint that the same mode of educa-
ton would he good for grown folks?
Does not the mother need progressive
education with every appertaining at
tribute, as much or more, than the
child? 1t is the child's nature to
grow mentally as well as physically,
in spite OF hinderences. He will live
and learn, while the mother is apt to
settle down to life of retrogression /;
there is where the compulsory educa-
ton aught to come in.
There are three roads for mothers
in this life. First to keep right along
with her children step for step, be-
ginning with the first sled or doll the
baby fingers fashion. the letters and
figures the baby mind grasps and in
cheering encouragement and friendly
competition, ending with life only.
Second, to lag behind without energy
or ambition, only to whine peevishly
at the miserable result of her own in
dolence, constantly nearing the third
road that leads to quagmire of igno-
rance, superstition, timidity, helpless
ness and every unhappy condition that
attends the deteriorating mind. No
wonder forward children say of their
mother, "Don't ask hel, she don't
know" Oh! what a cheering tribute
to that mothers mode of life. whose
ten-year old boy retorted, to the asser-
ton that his mother did not know
| everything. She does, too; if she can
think OF it."
Good children try to excel that
mother may be proud of them. Does
the good mother try to keep up men
tai activity that the children may be
proud of her? The grandest compli-
ment a mother can receive is when
the grown daughter or the stalwart
son, saws with honest Difference, Ask
mother" HATTIE l.. INMAN.
| Have YOU not heard it said that
men by women are led true is the
saying-true. Then see to it that you
lead them we'll l wonder why it is
that woman is not as particular tc

effort in cultivating the brain as we dc

A most remarkable and what might

A most remarkable and what might
have proved fatal accident occurred
last Sunday at the new hotel Spo-
kane" in Spokane City. One of the
chambermaids, named Annie Martin,
who, with the entire corps of hotel at
taches, was recently brought from
Chicago, was somehow caught up by
the wings of large ventilating fan in
the kitchen and carried up the escape
pipe to the second story, where she
was wedged fast by her clothing. AT
ter locating her precise position the
pipe was cut open and the girl taken
out, badly frightened but otherwise I'M
injured. The ventilating apparatus is
to carry the fumes from the kitchen
which is located in the basement, up
through large sheetiro tube that
connects with the fan and runs up the
outside of the building to the roof
The fan itself is huge affair, ten feet
across, and at the time of the accident
was being tested and was making l..
200 revolutions per minute, creating q
very strong draft in the kitchen.
