Bright Prospects in the Northwest.

Bright Prospects in the Northwest.
In no section Of the Union are the prospects
for general development brighter than here in
the Northwest, for the reason that in this re-
gion there are more undeveloped resources
than elsewhere-resources of the precious
metals, Of forest products, Of lands still
untitled, OF cattle ranges, of water powers,
and Of unused business opportunities in
hundreds of towns which are bound to take
new energy of growth To make early use Of
these resources and opportunities, and not
to wait for others to take the lead, is the
part of wise men today.-Northwest Maga-

Is One Mill Sufficient.

NO supplies, WHICH SlSdlly feQuCeu, dluOuuIS
TO $1,000.
No fuel for new buildings.
No janitors' or engineers salaries for new
buildings.
No relief for double sessions.
A reasonable estimate of these items will
bring the total amount necessary to properly
conduct the work of the system to sum
not less than $4,000.
Our 1867 estimate provided very in
adequately for the actual needs Of our schools,
including only pens. crayons, ink and print
ed cards. as report cards. etc. 1t allowed no
maps, many teachers being obliged to fur
nish their own personally, or to depend upon
the kindness of railroad officials. This is but
one instance of many that might be men
toned.
For the past few years there has been such
a constant retrenchment along these lines in
order to keep our schools open for the full
year that there is no department in which
supplies are not absolutely needed. Perhaps
no other city system of schools in the United
States Is inadequately equipped as that
of St. Paul at present
Supplies furnished by the board can be had,
too, at a much less expense not to mention
the gain In uniformity of work
For instance. the penny expended by your
child for one pen of inferior quality In the
hands Of the board will purchase four of good
quality.
When We say regular schedule increase we
mean no raise Of salary. but simply that tho
board redeems its promise to pay teachers
$50 more each year until the maximum is
reached.
This took $4,000 for this year, and when
we say $4,000 for the next year we are not
allowing anything for the schedule increase.
for the extra teachers that will be necessary
to care for the increase of children in our
schools.
The amount needed for original salaries of
these extra teachers we have given you under
item four.
The cost of maintenance per capita is now
less than half of the amount expended for
the same purpose in 1891
With this stringent economy the board
plainly states that in spite of reduction of
twenty teachers in the corps since Septem-
Der. 1898, 1t may not be able to pay expenses
for this entire school year

The Meaning of 1t.

The tweedle dunn and tweedle dee pol
icy of the administration is becoming
apparent, so far as 1t relates to the
acquisition Of foreign territory. A
splendid fist Mr.. Mckinley Is making
Of it in his endeavor to show that he
did not mean to bring the United States
into the position of a nursery of the
Philippines and the people of those ISL
ands. But can he answer the ques-
tion as to what his real meaning was?
The United States government is now
confronted with most extraordinary
demand from Cuba, engineered by
Gen. Gomez. and looking to the pay
ment of some $50, 900 900 to the scab and
ragtail element Of the island who have
pretended to fight for her liberties.
How beautiful, indeed, seems the
service of this republic in its efforts to
pull the little island out of its difficulty!
But the great republic Of the United
States ought to pay for it all, Of course.
That is what we seem to be here for.
The meanness of the nature Of the
Cuban is coming to the surface just
now. just as the meanness Of the
face in connection with our dealings
with the Philippine islands.
The United States government sent
its forces down to Cuba year ago with
a view to assisting the rebels Of the
island to gain their freedom. The Initial
chapter was the loss of 253 American
lives of the sailormen on board the
Maine. Then the general war came,
with the sacrifice of about 5000 addi-
tional lives from disease and wounds.
And now comes the impudent demand
Of Gomez that this country shall pay
the Cuban soldiers $60,000,000 for their
services.
Is there nothing in this effrontery to
suggest to the mind Of the American
citizen that the Cuban is a pretty small
specimen of humanity for whose liberty
the blood of young America should be
she'd Just think of it, mothers and
fathers of the republic. A craven chief
of rebels and insurgents unsatisf1ed in
the consciousness of the attainment Of
their individual liberty sinking their
long fingers into the pockets Of the
American people.

w.v.. . For.c.., of storms.

We have 1t on the authority Of Mr.. W.
H. Wheeler, who has devoted many years
to the study Of such matters, that in the
bay Of Biscay, frequently during the au-
tumn and winter in calm weather, heavy
seq gets up and rolls In on the coast four
and twenty hours before the gale which
causes it arrives and of which 1t is the pre-
lude. In this case the wave action, gener-
ated on the other side of the Atlantic by
the wind, travels at a much greater rate
than that Of the body of disturbed air and
thus gives warning of tho coming storm.
Upon the great lakes Of North America
fishermen and boatmen have learned to
forecast storms by observations Of the un-
dulations to which the waters Of the lakes
are subject, and direct inquiry into the
matter, by means Of self recording gauges
to show the fluctuations Of level Of the sur
face Of the water, has now proved that
theee undulations provide earlier and
moro distinct indications Of approaching
storms than are given by the barometer. =
