poses goes toward paying off the coun-

The coming year Wasco county will
have an addition of $6,S32 to its public
school fund because OF law passed by
the regular session of the legislature in
1903, which requires levy of So per
capita for each person Of school age in
stead of straight five-mill tax. Under
the old law the fund would have been
S23 ,204, whereas this year it will be $780,
036, since there are 5006 persons be-
tween the ages of four and 20 in the
county according to the last reports OF
school district clerks. ks.--Mountaineer.

Petition Denied.

Several days ago a petition signed by
nearly all the steamboat captains on the
Potomac, requesting the establishment of
a line of buoys along the river to mark
the channel on the east side from Shop
herds to Giesboro' Point, was sent to
the lighthouse authorities in charge Of
this district. In the letter attention was
called to the fact that vessel masters
were often deceived by the presence of
the wharf at the United States naval
magazine, into believing that deep water
existed in front of it and that within the
past two weeks several vessels have gone
ashore there. The request of the petit
TONERS was denied, the authorities main
tanning that the channel il that locality
