The Weather.
The weather has been variable for the
past week, Saturdays heavy rain
soaked the ground; Sunday was part
sunshine and part stormy, with occa-
sional showers Of snow; Monday, snow
fell all day, and Monday evening the
beautiful was foot deep; Wednesday
morning the thermometer marked %
degrees above zero, the codest of the
winter; Thursday morning as we go to
press, lively snow storm is prevailing,
and it looks like we might have some
old-fashioned Hood River winter
weather.
For the benefit Of our young Ska
manians who are contemplating a trip
to the strawberry fields next spring
we will state there will be employment
for hundreds Of pickers in the Under
wood neighborhood. And more agree

G. j. Gessling moved that tax Of 4
mills be levied-I.4-5 mills to pay inter-
est on bonds and 2.2-l0 mills for salaries
and incidental expenses.
Considerable discussion ensued. Mr.
Gessling explained that, counting upon
an increase in the school population OF
about rs, and an increased apportion-
ment from the state per capita, 4-mill
tax would be enough to meet all expen-
ses OF the school for the coming year,
including the employment of two ad-
ditional teachers.
G. A. Bell said that he mad estimated
the cost Of the school for the coming
year, and he found that a 5-mill tax
would be required.
Chairman Coon urged that the tax
be levied upon basis OF nine-months
school.
d. Mcdonald was very much in favor
of a nine-months term OF school and
moved to amend Mr.. Gessling's motion
by making it read 3.1-5 mills for salaries
and incidental expenses The amend
ment carried, when the original motion
was put and adopted unanimously and
the meeting adjourned.

New Heart Discovery
Via Windy City

Chicago, ill.. june 5-That the
heart is independent Of the central
nervous system and can be made to
pump blood through an artificial cir
culation even when removed from the
boty, has been demonstrated TO stu
derss at the University Of Chicago by
"a striking experiment performed by
Prof Elias P Lyon Of the department
of physiology.
Prof. Lyon has been able not to
merely make pieces of hearts pulsate
in salt solutions and in the air, as
was done by Prof Jacques Loeb and
Prof. Lingle. but by the arrangement
.of suitable apparatus he has caused
the heart Of dog TO pump blood
through itself. a pair of lungs and a
loop OF tubing four feet high
Dr. Lyon disclaims the distinction Of
discovering the method Of causing an
apparently dead heart to beat. as he
says that the experiment has been
performed before by certain investi-
gators. Previous experiments having
shown that the heart WE Independent
Of the central nervous 81 tem, It was

Expenditures
Cause Criticism

Chicago, H., June 5.-The increase
in gross of S5S5;S7l shown by the
Santa Fe for April is indicative Of the
volume Of business the road is now
carrying.
Some criticism, however. has been
made in respect to the continued in
crease IN operating expenses. In ex-
PLANTATION of this increase OFFICIALS of
the road state that It has been due
to two canses:
Rains on the Texas lines, which
'necessitated the replacement of con
siderable portion of the roadbed. and
incurred on the main line
i'm replacing light weight rails by
heavier made rails. made necessary
by the heavy tonnage. This has re
suited in abnormally high operating
expenses for the last few months.
This abnormal expenditure has now
in large measure ceased. and the bal
ance of the fiscal year operating ex-
penses may be expected to decrease
materially.
An analysis Of the Santa Fe's month.
ly statements shows that there has
been a steady increase in gross since
the first Of the calendar year result
ing in an increase for the ten months
Of the fiscal year Of sz,S6S,23s
Operating expenses have also been
showing steady increases, but it viii
be noted that this increase was re-
duced over 100000 in April and If
the predictions OF the management
are verified, it Is not improbable that
the entire decrease in balance as now
shown may be wiped out before the
close Of the fiscal year.
Thes afo-e. If the present ratio OF
increase in gross continues until the
close OF tbs year, and operating ex-
penses continue 10 decrease as pre-
dicted BY Santa re officials, the road

 FROM JAY GOULT,

"See that mann" said belat trav- eler at the Union station, pointing out a well dressed gentleman who was waiting on the platform for the Iron Mountain south bound train to pull out. "That's o. H. Hammond, of the telegraph department of the Gould railway system, who was close friend of the late Jay Gould. Way back some fifteen or more years ago Mr. Hammond performed some service of particular value to Mr. Gould which impressed the latter favorably and awakened a desire in the magnate to reward the service. As a token of appreciation Mir. Gould wrote out and sent to MT. Hammond a check for $S,00O.
 ''Mr. Hammond has that check yet. Never cashed it? No. He keeps it as a souvenir. You may think this a Mole St. Nicholas dream or Milan pipe but my information is that MT. Hammond has that check framed in bis office and regards it with great pride as memento of the favor in which he was held by the head of the great Southwestern railway system / Mr. Hammond didn't need the mone%. reckon, or he thought more offhe
