Grangeville School Matters.

AS the editor leaves next week
for Moscow to attend the annual
meeting of the Board of University
regents and consequently will not
be present at the Grangeville
school election to explain matters
in person, we think it advisable to
present general outline of our
views for the advancement of our
public school interests at this time
through the FREE PRESS.
Under the provisions of law
passed by the late legislative ses-
sion districts with a total property
valuation Of $3.50, 900 are enabled
to organize an independent school
district upon a petition Of one
fifth of the qualified voters of the
district to the county commission
ers. The assessment roll for sew
eral years past shows clearly that
Grangeville has the required prop
erty qualification. The govern
ment of an independent school dis
trict is vested in the hands of six
trustees, who appoint an assessor
and treasurer. All the school
moneys collected by county taxa
ton in an independent district is
turned over to the treasurer of the.
district for the benefit of the dis.
trict. Under the present system
the large districts are taxed to
maintain the small districts. A
nine months term of school is man
datory in an independent district,
and the trustees can levy a special
tax not exceeding ten mills on the
dollar (including the levy for inter-
est on bonds) to maintain the
schools without consulting the tax
payers. There are many good
reasons why we should have an
independent district, and the mat
ter should be discussed at the an
nual election meeting on Monday,
June Z.
In the event that the public sem
timent is against an Independent
district, the matter of a special tax
of six mills for the maintenance of
our schools at their present high
state of efficiency should be unani-
mouslyo carried. So many new
school districts were organized in
the reservation country at the last
session of the commissioners court
that the revenue from the general
school fund of the county available
for Grangeville district will be
seriously impaired, and unless such
special tax is levied, or an inde-
pendent school district is organized
our educational facilities will be
very greatly impaired, with a result
distinctly detrimental to the best
interests Of the town.
Under the management of Messrs
Day, Sherwin and G. III. Schmad
eka the financial affairs of the dis
trict have been carefully and con
servatively handled, but as these
gentlemen will doubtless report tt
the taxpayers in person on June Z
we leave them to speak for them
selves. Mr.. Sherwin is the retire
ing trustee.

WESTERN BLOOD FOR THE NAVY.

ORcer VIII Tour Western Cities Looking
for "American" Recruits.
Washington, July 1o.-The navy de-
partment is about to undertake to get
more western blood in the navy, and to
this end Lieutenant Commander ]. NJ.
Hawley, with a surgeon and a boat
swain, will start from Washington next
week on o tour Of the larger western
cities with a view to securing recruits.
The first stop will be made at Duluth
and then Chicago, Milwaukee, Toledo,
Buffalo and other lake cities will be
visited. The plan is to open temporary
recruiting offices in these places and
secure for the navy as many of the
lake sailors as possible. The depart
ment came to realize the fact that not
q single vessel in the naval service had
a full complement OF ordinary seamen
and sailors, and that men of the high
standard desired by the navy could not
be procured in sufficient numbers in the
coast cities.
Most of the sailors who man our war
slips are from the coast cities, although
recently some westerners have been
drifting into the. service, and ii was felt
that if this movement could be stimu-
lated the navy would be benefited by
securing a larger proportion Of native
American stock in its enlistment. Let
ters received at the navy department
showed that one obstacle to the entry Of
westerners into the service was the fact
that the men who were.willins and anx-
ious to enter had not the means to reach
the seaport cities where enlistments are
made.
It was for this reason that Lieutenant
Commander Hawley was instructed tc
establish temporary offices for recruiting
as he goes, where the recruits may ap-
MY and be sent in batShes of ten or a
dozen in charge CT the Soatswain to the
nearest navy yard at the government
expense. The terms offered, to the lake
sailors are for ordinary seamen s19 PEI

Pittsburg, July 10.-The decision
OF the labor leaders at last nights

funds to bring out the miners in
that state practically narrows the
strike to fight between the coal op-
orators Of West Virginia and the la
Dor unions Of the country. No
money or effort will be spared. it is
said, to accomplish the suspension
Of every mine IN that state. Special
organizers will also be sent to the
miners OF the New York and Cleve-
land Coal Gas company to induce
them to join the movement. Many
operators in this district are anx-
icus TO get these miners to strike,
and in several instances money has
been offered 10 hoip pay their wages

move Is to prevent the handling Of
any coal mined, pending the issue OF
