BOARD or EDUCATION.

Business Transacted at Last Nights Meet
ing-The Wheat Let to be Purchased
Without Condemnation Proceedings
Being Carried neutrality-suspicious.
Kendall's Monthly Eeport-Mrs, Walk
er's Resolution.
A short meeting of the board of edu-
cation was held at the board rooms
last evening, all being present except
Messrs, Belts, Stoddard and Farms
worth. President Asher called the
meeting to order and the committee on
schools was first called upon for a, re-
port. The committee recommended
that the superintendent of schools and
the committee on supplies be author
lied to eXpend a sum not to exceed
$1,000 for the purpose of purchasing text
books for reading and other studies,
supplementary to the list already adopt
ed by the board. The recommendation
was accepted and adopted, The COM
mittee also recommended that the "Bass
Nature Books" "Thompson's Fairy
Tales and Fables" Heart of Oak
Books" and the Werner Primer" be
added to the list of supplementary
books. This last recommendation was
tabled.
The matter of the condemnation of
the Wheat lot at the corner of Norton
and Elm streets for school purposes was
then brought up and a communication
from E. P. Arvine, attorney for Mrs.
Wheat, stating that the lot in question
~ hi ali
sell ITO feet of this for $95 a foot, a
drop of SIS foot from the price pre-
viously asked, and would join the re-
naming five feet to another lot which
she owns adjoining. In view of this
offer Mr.. Moran moved that the special
committee be instructed to enter into
negotiations with Mr.. Arvine for the
purchase of ITO feet of the lot under the
terms offered by the present owner.
The motion was carried.
The building committee reported that
the matter of building an additional
room attached to Boardman school for
the electric motors had been investi-
gated and 1t had been decided that
other or more economical plans could be
followed to house the motors.
A communication was read from Mrs.
f. B. Walker of 162 York street calling
the attention of the board to an en-
closed newspaper clipping describing
the obtaining by the Penny Provldent
Fund society from the New York city
school board the privilege of establish
ing a station in the public schools Of
that city. Mrs. Walker thought that
the scheme would be a good one for New
Haven schools.
Superfn tendent Kendall read the
statistical report Of the city schools for
the month of October, just past. The
report stated that during the monthThe
total number of registered boys attend
ing the schools was 7,445, Of 1882, MAX
ing total of 14,505, as against a total
of 14,458 for the same month in 1894

tion. Etherington is said to be broth
er of Marie Tempest.

Sensational Elevator Story Exploded


Sensational Elevator Story Exploded
sliney Was In No Danger.
The sensational story published in the
afternoon papers yesterday to the eff
feet that David Sliney, the elevator at
tendant at the new Hubinger building,
on Chapel street, was compelled to ride
on a runaway elevator and narrowly
escaped serious accident, was a pure
fiction. Mr.. Sliney stated last evening
that the only thing which happened to
the elevator was that the fuse on the
electric motor burned out, causing the
elevator to come to sudden stop be-
tween the landings Of the building and
that there was absolutely no truth in
the statements about the elevator run
ming up and down the full heighth of
the building and that he (Sliney) had
tainted when he finally succeeded in
getting out of the car.

So far nothing new has been brought

against the prisoner stronger.
Another female crank appeared this

with him, most of which was spoken
with her mouth almost touching his

washington, April 2S.-Japan's right
10 frame (her own tariff rates on Unit
ed States goods have now accrued un-
der the teruns of 1.-THE new Japanese
TREATY. width the United States, thirty
days having expired since the ex-
change of notifications. Minister Ku-
rlno, of Japan. says, however. that
while THE object of general tariff law
has been considered in the diet, he has
not been informed of 1.-THE enactment OF
a law Under these circumstances the
japanese rate on United States goods
will remain ait per cent ad valorem
until the act ds passed.
From other official sources 1t Is learn
ed that the new tariff law isn't likely
to be passed until Japan has concluded
all her new treaties with European
powers.
1t is STATED THAT Ithe new tariff viii
not be on the line of a high protective
policy, but will be revenue tariff.
While Japan has many infant indus
tries, 1t Is said they are making pne-
nomenal advancement.
When the new ltardff is framed It Is
understood that its most important
features referring TO the United States
are likely to be as follows:
Kerosene oil, which Is now the larg-
est Item of Un0ted Skates export to
Japan, viii probably remain at 5 per
cent ad valorem. Flour. breadstuffs,
canned goods and other domestic ne
cessities will also remain at per cent
or be scaled down as the Japanese de-
sire to cheaper the necessartes OF life.
Japan is anxious TO get raw material
for her fioprIahtng cotton Factories,
which are turning out a product which
competes. 1t Is claimed, with the best
cotbons of the world; therefore, raw
cotton is likely to go on the free list.
It is also said that freight rates TO
Japan are another factor which pro-
teots her Industries.

GOOD WORK IS Done
Three-fOurths of the Right Of
Way Secured.
PATRIOTISM TO TIE FRONT
OregOn's Opportunity to Head Off
the Seattle Fresh Water Har-
Dor at Hand.

That the new road is now an assured
fact is admitted by all interested par
ties, provided the right of way for the
last % miles of road east of Wesbport is
arranged for There can be no doubt
that the patriotic citizens in this sec
ton viii come to the front, as have
those along the other portions of the
route. All petty prejudices and person.
al feelings should, and no doubt will
be, laid aside in the one great effort
to advance the general interests OF
Oregon and the Columbia river valley
in particular. The fact must not be
lost sight of, however, that Mr.. A. B.
Hammond has come here with all his
arrangements completed for the build
ing and equipping of the line of rail-
road if his conditions of contract are
complied with. First and foremost
among these conditions is THE one that
the right of way must be furnished
him clear of all incumbrances. The
business men Of Astoria have well and
faithfully done their part of the work
and more; they have given large sub
sides of land to the road, have given
money for preliminary expenses and
are giving their untlring lalbors for the
furtherance of the plans and the sue
cessful completion of tine enterprise,
which means as much or more to the
residents along the river and the river
towns. as 1t does to Astoria itself and
more to the state at large than TO any
particular locality. There Is every as
surance from Mr.. Hammond and from
the various committees unat all local
questions of convenience and harmon
ization of interests will receive proper
attention and sehtlament.
When 1T is remembered that this
means an outlet for all our products,
grain, fruit, fish, lumber, timber coal,
and minerals TO the markets of the
world, at the lowest cost of transpor-
tation; the establishment of the mouth
of the Columbia as the port OF export
for the products of the entire North
west; the maintenance of q fresh wa
ter harbor for the shipping of the
world as against the new enterprises on
the Sound and the proposed fresh wa
ter deep sea llArbor ait Seattle, which
will surely take our business away
from us IL we do not now meet the
situation and stem the crisis at hand,
no means should be spared to COM
plete the work so well begun. Another
opportunity may never be presented
to establish the prestige of the Column
hla river and the maintenance Of our
natural advantages. Now is the ac-
cepted time; let all minor things drop
for the time being-they will take care
of themselves.
Below is the full list of the donors
of right of way outside of the limits
Of Astoria. These gentlemen are the
pioneers of the new enterprise, and
have their hearts and Judgment in the
right place. Patriotism and lberality
always bring their own reward. To
this list will be added the names Of
other donors as fast as the right of
way committee proceed in their work:
