At the office. of the Carnegie Steel Company
there was a general air Of uncertainty and un-

control OF the great company was about 10 pass
from the hands that had made the concern So
great. which change means n complete removal

changes TO the Office force. II seemed certain

The County High School.

The Prineville Review is very wisely
agitating the establishment Of county
high school in that town. BY virtue OF
an act Of the last legislature, upon petit
ton Of one hundred or more qualified
electors, taxpayers OF the county, the
county court must submit the question
Of maintaining a high school to the legal
voters at any general election, and il a
majority OF the voters SO decide, the
county court shall locate said school in
some suitable place in the county The
county court shall levy a special tax
upon all the assessable property of the
county sufficient to raise the amount
necessary for purchasing lot, procur-
ing plans and specifications, erecting a
building and the cost Of running said
school for the next twelve months,
or they can levy sum sufficient to
cover the cost of conducting the county
high school in connection with some
public school. The county judge, county
commissioners, county treasurer and
county school superintendent shall con-
stitute the county high school board.
Such an arrangement ought to work
very well in most of the counties of the
state, but here in Wasco conditions are
such that the location of a high school
at The DalIes would be of little or no
henefit to Hood River.
