IT HAPPEN MONDAY.
The Bond Election But Three Hours
for Voting The Plan.

The bond election to determine
whether or not district number nine
will provide ample accommoda-
tions for it's school children, tran
spires next Monday afternoon. The
polls will open at the. public
school building at one O'Clock P.
M and will close at four, giving
but three hours to the voting.
The proposition of the board has
been partly changed, and those
who vote yes Monday, will vote
for the purchase of the Diller block
and for the erection thereon, Of a
new building Of sufficient dimen-
sions to accommodate all students
now, and so planned as~to be suit
able for additions of needed rooms
as they shall be required hereafter
For the purpose. and for redemP-
ton of so much of the outstanding
bonded indebtedness as may be pos
sible out of the amount. the sum
of IS, 900 in new bonds is proposed
to be issued. There is assurance
that the bonds will be taken on a
basis of four per cent interest,
which will make a saving OF one
per cent on such of the old bonded
debt as may be redeemed.
| Members of the board are of the
opinion that the bonds will be vot~
ed under the present plan. There
is some opposition, however. Some
people want an addition built to the
present school building, which
ought not, under any circumstances
to be done. Others want a ward
building in each end of the \ town,
one or both tobe built this year, ac-
cording as circumstances may re-
The district owns a block near the
Southern Pacific station. The re.
port has been in circulation that
the block would revert to the Avery
heirs in case it should cease to be
owned by the district for use as
school purposes. but this is not
true. The deed was for a consid-
Grafton of $425, and is the usual
warranted conveyance.
The board has an option on the
Di1ler block at a price Of S. 900. It
is the plan to secure if possible a
vacation of the street between the
two blocks, and convert the whole
property into school grounds. It
is said that if the present scheme is
defeated, there is plan on foot to
petition the board for the addition
of more rooms to the present school
building
The opinion is practically univer-
sal. that something must be done
at once 20 relieve the crowded conf
dition of the school rooms. Rooms
designed for forty pupils with more
than sixty in them, an old
church with its quota of little ones
in bad ventilation and playing in
the public street, with the prospect
that with increased attendance some
Iold warehouse may yet have to be
used for slowing away a teacher
and room full of pupils, together
with that other disagreeable
thought that partial effect of the
crowding and lack of comfortable
accommodations may make more
little slabs in the cemetery; all these
have set many parents to hoping
that the district may do its duty by
the little ones, and build something
somehow and somewhere.

COOS BAY TRADE.

The Coast Mail of Coos bay announ-
ces that E. J. Holt. manager OF the
California and Oregon Coast Steamship
Company is considering the matter of
giving better service between Coos bay
and the Columbia river. The Mail fav-
ors the extending of encouragement to
Manager Holt and prophesies that an
other steamer on the run would have
the effect of diverting trade from San
Francisco to Portland. but 1t does not
believe it incumbent on the Coos Bay
people TO give bonus
''The sentiment here" says the Mail,
lis that IL Portland wants our trade we
will treat her with the greatest consid-
GRAFTON. but we are not going to break
out necks TO give Il to her. We have
nothing to gain by switching from the
market which takes all our surplus
products. and it is up to Portland to do
the sweating over the trade situation.
If Portland would buy our coal for fuel
which she might very well do,that
would furnish northbound freight for
more than one steamer on the route,
and 1t would be an exhibition of reci-
procity that would attract our buyers.
But 50 long as the trade is all one-sided
and altogether TO Portland's profit, |
Portland would better do whatever
guaranteeing is required.

THE SITUATION IN ONO.

The Oregonian takes issue with
Congressman Dick, chairman Of the re-
publican state central committee OF
Ohio. In his reply to challenge on the
part Of the democratic organization for
a joint debate between John H. Clark
and Mark Hanna. Among the reasons
pointed out by Chairman Dick for not
accepting the challenge. Is the lack Of
harmony in the democratic ranks
leaving the republican candidate 10
guess at what issues are to be met and
what is to be done with the discarded
democratic theories. The republicans,
the Oregonian Says, are divided pre-
cisely as the democrats are and that it
is discreiitable IL party be not divid-
ed. The oregonian has never been
known as a rock-ribbed republican
paper and usually is courageous in
giving utterance TO its convictions, as 1t
does in this case. The contrast pre-
sented in the position taken by Con-
gressmanDick and that assumed by the
Portland paper is of interest, coming
from the source ii does. The reply of
Dick is but the words OF Hanna, speak
ing through the former as chairman
of the republican state central COM
mittee. Hanna is nothing if not an
organization man. 1t may not be
strictly accurate TO classify the Ore
gonian as anti-organization but it is
true that it Is more of an obstruction
than aid to party organization. The
Hanna idea is TO get together, concede
and compromise on a platform Of
PRINCIPLES and stand pat" The Ore
gcnian has never felt as active political
leaders feel the necessity of making
concessions for the sake of united ef-
fort In can see no virtue in Foraker
and Hanna agreeing to work together.

TE QUESTION OF DECLINE.

TAsr4 are many who believe that
sgz= * M great nations of today are
ssr=4.Er well On toward the decline OF
life Spala is IN her dotage. France
is aaezz5ent. Germany has only been
saved from a decline by the great COM
rlerciaI activity that has burst out
there IN the last decade or so. China,
the MethaseIsh Of nations, has lived
time out Of mind in her dotage. The
causes leading to these caSaclysms that
are apparently pulling down some of
the great nations Of modern times as
easily as yirulant disease drags an
emaciated wreck of a man into an un-
timely grave were probably insidious
roisons injected into the body polite
hundreds, or perhaps a thousand years
ago.
Political economists and far-seeing
statesmen Of England observe in the
conditions Of society there are many
things causing the greatest apprehen-
sion for the future Of the nation. One of
these is the alarming increase of the
drink habit among women Of England
within the past few years. In fact, it
seems that a very contagion Of drunk
enness has broken out among the
poorer classes cf women. and also
among the very wealthy in some parts
of the kingdom, notably London. The
Daily Express says: THE number of
drunken women apprehended in 1902
was nearly double the number for 1901,
and they have already cost the rate
