One Of the most charming writers OF
our day and generation has declared
that "the truest blessing girl can
have" Is "the ingenious devotion Of n
young boys heart" Nine mothers IN
ten will probably take issue with the
gifted author on that point, and though

tennis, polo, cricket, riding and dane

In. Much OF his boyhood had been
spent at one OF those healthy, hearty
English schools where all that would
cultivate physical and mental manhood
was assiduously practiced, and all that
would initiate against them was as
vigorously "tnbooed."
At the coming of his twentieth birth

Monthly School Report.

City Superintendent Halves fur
nishes the STANDARD with the follow
ing report for the month ending Jam
uary IL:
The enrolment continues to go up,
there being total for the month of
SO4, this being an increase OF II over
last month and of G6 over last year.
The average attendance continues the
same as last month, being COG, an in
crease of A over the same month last
year. The per cent of attendance is a
trifle less, being 1887 against $3.50.
This is, however, little better than o
year ago, it then being 1922. There
were 81 cases of hardness, 81 of which
were made in the Eastside (Piety HilD
school. The Washington school had
3 cases; the Lincoln school cases
and the Westside school but one case.
The improvement in punctuality is
nearly to its limit, and is a great adj
vance over the days when there we're
3OO cases OF hardness month. Dur
ing the past month there were 29S
pupils neither absent nor tardy, or
over 81 per cent. of the entire enroll
ment. This speaks great word of
praise to the parents as we'll as to the
pupils. The month has been very
good one Notwithstanding the Christ
mas season, which usually cuts some
what the wrong way.

A Taylor-Made Suit for Oily.

Mr.. Taylor, the oyster dealer quoted
in the STANDARD last week as a critic
of the Olympian's statements, objects
to the testy manner in which that pa
per replies to his mild structures, and
this is what ne has to say:
EDITOR STANDARD:
Oily will doubtless admit that the head
lines of the item criticized reads Local
dealers" And l must say he flatters
himself if he presumes that his columns
invite more than casual glance. But
upon perusing the whole item, l find
that it does admit that local dealers Gin
some instances" charge so cents in ex-
cess of the price received by the pro.
Queer. Just why Oily qualities his state
ment by the words Sin some instances, !"
| am unable to comprehend. Nor why
he should evince any interest in such
stale news after having printed a state
ment, not long since, denying desire to
print stale news.
But perhaps haven't got any the best

things. E. b. TAYLOR.

Report Of Joint Committee Of City Council and

Chamber Of Commerce.
Tie committee report by pamphlet
publication, setting forth the salient
advantages OF the proposed work when
completed, as we'll as its entire FEAST
bilicy by government aid. Here are
some brief extracts from it;
"The route of the proposed Puget
Sound and Gray's Harbor canal begins
at the headwaters OF Puget Sound
Budd's Inlet. Following north of the
Northern Pacific railroad until it
reacheas the Chehalis river, it passes
through Black lake absorbs the waters
OF Black river, following along its
course until it enters the Chehalis, a
distance of about twenty miles, there
being an easy gradual slop from Puget
Sound to the Pacific ocean.
"The water supply for the canal will
be from Black lake, body of water
one-half to three-quarters of a mile
wide, and over two and q half miles
long. 1t is some forty feet lower than
the grade OF the Northern Pacific rail-
road. 1t has depth of not less than
sixty feet. In some place. the depth
is great and unfathomed. 1t has a
solid cement gravel bottom. 1t is fed
from springs, and is the headwaters of
Black river. and has several water
courses emptying into it. 1t is at the
base of the water shed of the Black
hills, a section ofcountry more densely
covered with merchan table timber
than any other forest known. Con-
sidering these facts, and the amount
of the precipitation of the country,
the resources of the water for the
canal should be ample"
