PRAISES WASHINGTON SCHOOLS.
Government Agent Says System In
This state Il Nearly Ideal.

Prof. William o. Krohn, special agent
of the national commissioner of educa-
ton at washington. D. c., who 10 gather
ing data regarding the school systems
of this state. to be used In the. commits
sioner's annual report. arrived at the
Butler last night.
Regarding the school system of WASH
,ngtofl he said: my object in coming
to Seattle Is to visit the university From
what I have seen Washington has the
best system of organization and supervi-
sion In schools of any In the West, and
Is not excelled by any In the United
States. TIE Ohio legislature has just
passed a biz organizing their school sys-
tenn on the same plan as Is in vogue here.
Under your system the county superin-
tendent Is a strong executive officer, and
your board of education Is a body ornate
with power to act. The work In this
state is conducted on smooth, effective
and economic plan, which to my mind is
ideal.
.eThere Is one thing will recommend
for this state, and that is a more effective
education In the rural schools. BY this
] mean the establishment Of what might
ne called training schools, place where
the chemistry of the soil may be taught
and applied to the cultivation of agri-
culture and horticulture; also botany.
that will improve the quality OF fruits
grown here. Such training In the West
is of more value than too much technical
and would dignity farming"
Today Prof. Krohn will go to Port
Townsend and return here Monday.

KOYUKUK'S RICH PLAOERS


Confirmation IN a general way Of the re-
port brought down by Frank G. Schrader.
a government geologist of remarkably
rich strike in the Koyukuk district Is made
by Joseph Mccarthy, Edward Marion and
Chauncey Dufy, who have arrived at
say, Is all excitement over the discovery.
Mccarthy. is quoted as saying that the
richest strike was made on Myrtle creek
and nameless tributary Of that stream,
about nine miles in length. Myrtle creek
is twenty miles long and empties into
Slate creek, which is a tributary Of Koy-
these and neighboring creeks On a num-
Der OF claims gravel which panned out
all the way from 10 cents to 81 was found.
On Slate creek many men were averag-
ing from $50 to SIS per day to the shovel.
The find was made last March by two
men, Nelson and Manzen, both from Bos-
claims. as far as worked, have proved rich.
Probably not before March or April will
1t be possible to obtain detailed Informal
ton regarding the results Of the winters
work in the Myrtle creek district, but II
the reports are such as Mccarthy and his
companions predict, they will cause an
other rush to the headwaters Of the Koy-
ukuk next summer.

City Authorities Form a Scheme
for Improvement.
THREE KINDS OF PAVEMENT,
In . Downpour Of Rain, Council
Committee ana Hoard Of Public
Works Go Over Entire street.
Sandstone Blocks, Macadam ana

erty Owners Favor Paving scheme

In a drixzling downpour Of rain yester-
day three members OF the council street
committee and the three members of the
board of public works tramped the entire
length Of Madison street from First ave-
nue. to Lake Washington. Their purpose
was to examine the street with reference
to its proposed Improvement and to judge
from personal inspection the necessities
OF tho various districts traverseds by the
thoroughfare.
It was muddy and teams hauling heavy
, loads OF COAL lumber house furnishings.
etc.. splashed quantities Of mud on the
clothing Of the city officials as they
passed through the ravfnes beyond Broad
way. The councilmen, who were Muldoon,
James and Taylor, repressed their not un-
natural inclination to use bad language,
while the three members Of the board, who
are used to such experiences, regarded
with ill-concealed amusement the plight Of
their associates.
Good results were derived. however.
from the unpleasant excursion. The coun-
cilmen and the members Of the board all
obtained well-grounded views on the stu
alton. Not only that, but the committee
and the board tacitly agreed upon a course
which. II followed out by the city au-
thorities and spproyed by the property
ing Madison street from, one of the mud
diest and most impossible streets Of the
city into clean and serviceabie thorough
fare.
Briefly, the plan which was partly for
INFLATED yesterday and which 1t is believed
will receive the Endorsement Of the street
committee of the council and the latter
body itself is to improve Madison street
from First to Third avenues by laying
sandstone blocks, affording a fine footing
for teams: from Third to Eighteenth ave-
nues. macadam pavement with concrete
curbs; from Eighteenth to Twenty-third
avenues, macadam with wood curbs and
between Twenty-third avenue and the lake
shore, planking. The plan Is to form dis
tricts along the street and issue five-year
bonds
A member Of the board Of public works
said yesterday that, while no definite re-
port was decided upon.. 1t was the con-
sensus OF opinion as outlined.
1--WE have reasonable assurances" he
said, "that the property owners affected
will get together on this proposition. It
is certainly to be hoped they will. 1t
would be shame to plank Madison street.

than. that. 1t would be more costly in the
end"

city hall today to formulate report on
the matters

Foreman Caswell took in the situation at
a glance. A strike was on. He ordered
the men into line and sized up the situa-
ton. The row of bunko men, opium fiends,
petit larcenists. hobos and Jail birds re-
turned the compliment.

been started was half completed. Three

Spirit Lake Beacon: Many men who
in strenuous business life or in the mad
whirl Of dissipation ignore all heed OF
divine aid and all claims of Christianity
suddenly acquire a realizing sense Of
higher obligation and the painful made
quacy OF human strength when confront
ed with the grave perils Of life and the
article Of grim death. When it came to
the knowledge Of his fellow revelers that
Leonard Day was dying last Sunday
morning in Minneapolis gaming
room, without consultation, unmoved by
considerations Of pride or consistency,
two men dropped by his side and fervent-
ly offered prayer they had learned in
childhood. Neither supplicant made any
religious pretensions, else he would not
have been at such atime in such place,
but In the presence Of death both threw
themselves and the dying man absolutely
upon the mercy Of the God whose power
was fully recognized when human
strength was of no avail. Atheism and
unbelief find many advocates when the
skies are clear and life's pathway reason
ably smooth. but when the waters Of
darkness overwhelm the soul, atheistic
logic is of no avail, the cavllings OF un-
belief are forgotten and the human heart
relies upon the strong arm Of Omnipo-

Anew Denariurc.

Minneapolis Journal: The most radi-
cal step ever taken BY a northwestern
road will shortly De taken by tho North
ern Pacific, which proposes to do ava.
with telegraph lines in dispatching
trains. The management has been
watching the experiments Of the long
distance telephone which is being util-
ized on several short lines for the bust
ness OF handling trains, and it has de-
ctded 10 equip the Northern Pacific with
thetelephonic system as early as practi-
cable.
A complete telephone system covering
every essential point on tho entire line OF
the road will be installed. Every office
will be in direct communication with the
main offices In st. Paul, and with each
other. Every precaution will be taken to
insure absolute accuracy by the long dis.
tance telephone. All messages will be
repeated carefully word for word. leaving
no possibility OF mistake on the part Of
the dispatchers
1t i8 said that the new system will save
an immense amount OF time aud money.
Another advantage claimed for it is that
many brief matters Of a routine character
can be easily disposed Of by telephone
without taking the trouble to write let.
ters, receive answers to them, etc.
The Northern Pacific has had the tele-
phone scheme of dispatching trains un-
der advisament for more than year. J.
W. Kendrick first investigated the plan,
and 1t Is owing to his thorough inyesli-
cations that the change will be made.
