THE TEN-CENT TAX.

1 am In favor of higher education, bur do the
voters and taxpayers Of Napa School District
fully understand that by voting ten-cent tax
they establish a permanent high school for
which sooner or later they must furnish a SUIT
able lot and buildings. Why not make such
provision at once if they wish TO establish
high school?
A ten-ceGt tax may seem small now, but by
such vote the power Is hereafter taken from
every voter and taxpayer To have anything TO
say for or against any amount OF money winch
the high school board deem necessary for pur-
CHI sing lot and erecting and furnishing
buildings thereon. l see no reason why tax
payers of this district cannot be given lair
es innate OF the cost OF a suitable lot and build
ings necessary for high school; also where
such school is TO be located. inside CITY limits
Or only inside district limits.
A high school complete in every branch must
also have competent high school teachers. L
know that the principal of our public schools
and some of his assistants are Normal School
graduates. Our school law OF 1898 says that
holders of Normal School diplomas are Only
entitled 10 teach in primary ana grammar
grades; unless Normal School diplomas of this
State, accompanied by certificate granted by
the faculty of the State University, showing
that the holder thereof subsequent to receiving
said diploma has successfully completed the
prescribed course OF Instruction in the peda-
gOglcal department of the State University.
shall entitle the holder to high school certif-
cae authorizing the holder To teach IN any
primary, grammar or in any high school in this
State. except those in which the holder would
be requii ed TO teach languages other than the
English.
Does il not appear as il even our Napa public
schools have dropped Il little below the level
with other district schools IN our county,
since their pupils who completed the required
studies received grammar grade diplomas
which will, without examination, admit them
to public high school or normal school. while
our pupils did not receive such diplomas?
Would it be wise for the voters aud tax
payers to put the powers OF the high school
board into the hands of our district trustees
when they have in the past paid one OF their
mepnbeis. Joseph F. Lamdin, salary clerk
of the board OF trustees for which there Is no
provision inthe school law? You car satisfy

FOR THE FAIR.
Arrangements Being Made for the
Show

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1O.-The directors of
the State Board Of Agriculture held
meeting to-day to make final arrangements
for the State Fair. which will commence
on the 4th of next month and continue two
weeks. The superintendent of the sew
eral departments reported that matters
were progressing favorably and that the
outlook for successful exhibition, despite
the prevailing financial stringency. is very
encouraging.
Pool-selling privilege was awarded to j.
n. Kiilip of San Francisco. The board
canvassed entries for such of the races as
closed on the 1st If August, and others
will close on the Goth. The races have
from twenty to thirty entries each. and
the directors say the re was never better
outlook for first-clsss speed contests.
Mrs. Anna Morrison Reed OF Layton
vile was selected to deliver the annual
address at the fair. and it is believed this
innovation on custom that has prevailed
heretofore will prove most agreeable
one. Mrs. Reed is woman of ability.
She was the first lady manager Of the Co.
lumbar Exposition, and was made State
lecturer and organizer in that behalf.

MARYsvILLE, Aug 1O.-There was con-
siderab excitement this morning when it
was ascertained that Sam Harrington. the
Waterman for the Sperry fiourmill. had
been shot at the Marysville railroad depot
by man supposed to be Freder1cks. who
shot Sheriff Pascoe of Nevada County.
About 40 o'clock this morning Harring-
ton was on his beat when his dog dis
covered man lying under the telegraph
poles near the water-taHk street depot.
he was lying on his back with his hat over
bis face. Harrington woke him to tell
him to go into a. boxcar and sleep. as his
dug would annoy him. He said be guessed
he would get on his feet, and started off,
when Harrington noticed small bundle
rolled up in oilcloth in his band. and asked
him what he had.
The stranger replied that he was barber
by trade and that his tnOls were rolled up.
Harrington felt the parcel and then re-
marked that what he had was not BARRIERS
tools. The stranger moved away few

The ball entered on the outside OF the LETT

and came ont inside the arm. two inches
above the wrist joint, SCATTERING the large

shots after the man. who made his escape.

Medal Of the First International Ex-
hibition.

there would be no difficulty in occupying
every foot of space in the exposition.
without single exhibit from California.
AS the primary object Of the fair. however,
is to advertise the Golden State, the COM
mittee announces that all the California
exhibits offered will have first consIdera-
ton. Ii any are crowded out from lack Of
space it will be those coming from localities
outside this State.
During the sess on OF the executive COM
mittee party of ladies. comprising Mrs.
l.. j. Wheelock. Mrs. S. A. Low anu DR..
Maria Nye johnson, called. and Mrs.
WheelOck presented the director-general
with handsomely engraved silver spade,
with handle of polished California red
wood. She requested that the shovel
should be used to break ground on the
site. and that afterward it should be
placed on exhibition in the W0man's de-
partment. The gift was accepted with
the promise that it would be used in the
ceremony of breaking ground. as re-
quested.
Financial Manager Shainwald was jubi-
liant when he learned that date for COM
mencing work on the site had been ar
ranged.
That information is an appetizer" he
said. "The announcement will bring us
thousands of dollars in subscriptions from
men who have been holding back, afraid
that the project would never 20 through.
The moment the public see that we are
actually at work on the site for the build
ings they will realize that this fair is
gilt-edged investment. and the money we
need to make the enterprise success will
flow in from all sources. have already

The Alameda County Commissioners
have written to the executive committee
stating that Alameda County will give a
large contribution. with a strong possibility
OF exceeding the $4,000 asked tor. They
state that their ''peo pie are in touch with
the grand exposition, and. mindful of the
splendid results that will come out of it to

committee has announced its intention to
break ground within four days, and prob
ably tomorrow.
In developing these arrangements. the
executive committee held protracted
meeting, discussing the method Of work on
the grounds, aud considering the applica-
tons for SPACE. The desirability Of hav-
ing the grading done by day wo;k. to give
employment to many applicants. is geher-
ally admitted, provided the funds will per-
nit the adoption of this method. A meet
ing Of the executive committee OF the
finance committee has been called for
$3.50 this afternoon. to confer with the
management upon this point.
The demand for space from Eastern and
foreign exhibitors will also influence the
executive committee in its plans. From
advices received from Assistant Director
General Cornely, at Chicago. the commit
tee is seriously wondering il there Will be
room for the accommodation of all who
desire to exhibit. Cornely has distributed
10000 circulars of instruction to exhibitors,
and telegraphed yesterday for as many
more. He declares he is amazed at the ln-
terest taken in California's exposition, and
states that every exhibitor whom he has
seen in Chicago desires to be represented
here next winter.
Director-General de Young says that
there are two primary propositions which
the committee has 10 face. One Is. VIII
we have sufficient space? and the other is
the question of raising the necessary
money. From The foreign exhibits and the
domestic exhibits from Eastern States

A TUGBOAT SUNK.
The Tilden Bottom Up in the San
,IOaQuin.


STOCKTON, Aug. 10.-The tug Tilden of
San Francisco towing dredger, sent up
the river by Captain Hackett Of Oakland,
was sunk last night at q point In the San
Joaquin River about five miles below
Stockton. II is believed that the tug will
be raised without much trouble as the
dredger was run alongside and pumps set
10 work to get the water out
The tug ran on an embankmens made by
d dredging. and when the tide ran out she
rolled over and filled, so she could not be
foated without assistance. The dredger
was sent up the river to cut off trouble
some bend known as Dutchman's Reach,
Captain Hackett having secured a COR
tract to do the work.
Two tugs, the Alice and the Tlden,
towed the dredger from Oakland, and
when depth of nine feet was found in
the river the Alice had to turn back. The
Tilden pulled on and first the dredger got
on an embankment, but was got into deep
water without much trouble. Then the
tug struck. The dredger is near the place
where the cut will be made and will go TO
work this week. The change in the river
channel will save much trouble for steam
boat men.
