FREIGHT WRECKED
TWO HOBOES KILLED ON
w. & c. r. NEAR PAsCO
Seventeen Cars Went Into the Ditch
and a Large Number OF Sheep Are
Killed and Maimed-Wreck Sup
posed to Have Been Caused by a
Broken Flange Locomotive, Ca
bOOse, Three Cars and Coach
We're Left on the Track.

Pasco, Wash, Nov. 22.-Two men
are dead, half a hundred sheep are
either killed or MANNED and II freight
cras are in the ditch as the result f
a wreck Sunday night on the Wash
ington & Columbia River railway
seven miles east of Pasco. The exact
cause of the wreck is not known, but
it is supposed to have been occasion
ed by broken flange on a car wheel.
The wreck occurred to the train on
the Walla Walla division, eastbound.
The dead men were unknown tramps
who were stealing a ride. 1t is ex-
pected that the wreckage will be
cleared away today SO that trains
will be running again.
The locomotive and "dead-head"
caboose were left standing on the
track and three cars were left stand
ing at the rear end of the train. A
peculiar incident of the wreck was
the fact that a horse in one of the
sheep cars escaped unhurt.

cured by the Commercial Association
of this city, for a lecture during his
coming tour of the Northwest
Hubbard spends the winter months
in lecturing on various subjects, and
his tours have been extended to the
Pacific coast. Last year he visited
Spokane, and this year it is hoped to
make arrangement for him to come
to Pendleton.
The "Philistine," the best and most
typical representative of Hubbard's
literary work and philosophy, is
largely read in this city and he has
many admirers who would welcome
visit from him.
1t was suggested last winter that a
Hubbard" club be organized among
the readers of the 'Philistine," in this
city. Such a club may yet be organ
lied.

Thanksgiving will not be a mean
ingless holiday in the Boys and Girls
Aid Society Home at Portland.
From all over Oregon tomorrow
the railroads will carry free of charge
the gifts of generous people to the
orphans and waits in that institution.
Pendleton public schools are col
lecting large amount of supplies to
be shipped tomorrow afternoon to the
society. Every grade is contributing
to the Thanksgiving fund for the
helpless orphans, and tomorrow
afternoon Professor e. B. Conklin
and Janitor T. M. Lowe will box and
ship these contributions from the
schools which promises now to reach
to several thousand pounds.
Today and tomorrow forenoon,
scholars are invited to bring in any
of the following articles, which are
needed at the home and which will
be properly boxed, packed and ship
ped the o. r. & N, kindly providing
free transportation for every pound
billed to the home; Potatoes, cab
bage. onions, beans. apples, canned
goods or staple articles of food and
old clothes, will be received and
properly packed. Scholars are in
vited to take their contributions to
any of the public school houses,
where the goods will be collected and
made ready for shipment without
cost.
Parents are earnestly requested to
send something for the orphans, that
the Thanksgiving contribution may
be typical of the spirit of the people
of Oregon.
The Boys and Girls Aid Society is
semi-public organization supported
by the contributions of generous
friends of the needy, with an occa-
sional pittance wrung from the state
legislature. 1t is designed as a home
Tor orphans who are too small for
the asylums, and not of a character
to be sent to the reform schools, and
last year the attendance averaged
over 30 for every day in the year.
1t is a worthy institution, Mayor
George H. Williams, of Portland, be-
ing president and many leading citi-
zens of Portland being among the
active members and supporters.
Formerly most of the voluntary
contributions came from the western
oregon counties, but this year the o.
K. & N. has given free transportation
and every eastern Oregon county will
contribute.

TO RETAIN EXHIBITS.
Counties May Retain Ownership i'm
Special Exhibits Sent to the Lewis
and Clark Fair.

and Clark Fair.
In July, the Lewis and Clark fair
commissioners passed resolution
authorizing the superintendent of ex-
hibits of the fair, to purchase from
the counties any part or all of their
exhibits, reimbursing the counties in
this way for the expense of collecting
and preparing the exhibits for dis
play.
This was intended to encourage
counties to collect suitable exhibits,
and be reimbursed for the expense
by selling them to the fair at rea-
sonable price, the limit for any one
exhibit being $500.
Now In order to give the counties
the right to reserve any part of their
exhibit, the fair commission has pass
ed supplementary resolution, giving
the various counties the privilege OF
retaining any part of their exhibit
that might be of special value or in
terest to the county. The following
letter to Judge Bean explains the
resolutions:
Portland, Nov. 21. 1904.
Hon. Henry j. Bean. County Judge

luton was adopted at our last meet
ing, held November 10, 1so4:

county exhibits. under resolution OF
July, any county may reserve the
right of ownership in any special
product. providing no voucher for the
expense of gathering such special ex-
hibit in which the county may desire
to retain ownership. be allowed by
this commission.
This resolution, taken in conjunc-
ton with the resolution of July
heretofore sent you, will explain the
method by which counties OF indi-
viduals may retain ownership of val
liable exhibits.
Yours very truly,

HIRING 4 TEACHER

AAN " n n Ia III IN
Some lily advised people are rails
ing the cry that politics should con-
troll the school board in its selection
of principal for the public schools
here. This is most unfortunate and
those who are urging this course
are neither real friends of the
schools, the cause of education or
have the welfare of the youth of the
town at heart. 1t simply shows a
narrow minded bigotry and an at
tempt to lower our schools to the
level of few political ringsters
who have no higher ambition than
personal triumph. It is playing pea
nut politics with only one small pea
nut in the pod. Will the youth of
this town in after years when fight
ing the battle of life, which each
year becomes more strenuous, feel
gratitude to those who placed oh.
structions in their way when the
golden hours were passing in which
they could receive their equipment
for the struggle p We are not urging
the cause of any individual or decry-
ing the merits of any person. 1t is
not the aim of the PRESS to enter an
appearance for any side. We desire
only that the situation may be fully
understood by the public and it can
then fairly judge the merits of that
situation.
The legislature in 1895 passed an
act authorizing the directors or
controllers of any school district to
establish public high school. It
further provided how such schools
should be divided into grades ac-
cording to course of study, made an
annual appropriation in aid of such
high schools, directed what branches
should be included and specified that
no teacher shall be employed to
teach any branch or branches of
learning other than those enumerat-
ed in his or her certificate. The
directors of the Independent School
District of Milford passed a retolu
tion establishing high school of
the second grade. That resolution
stands on their books unanimously
approved by them. The simple
question now is can they legally
employ teacher whose certificate
does not enumerate the branches
required to be taught in a high
school Of the second grade. Is sherS
any politics in that question, an d

deavoring to inject politics in the
matter acting legally or for the
welfare Of the community and the
best public interests. On these
propositions it is perfectly safe for
