good things, the bartenders, had a
great time celebrating the second
birthday of the local league last
night. Washington hall was crowded
with a gathering of funmakers and
the guests were entertained with
bunch of doings which will long be
remembered.
Besides the iron water and stogas
there was good program offered, in
termingled in which were clever spe-
cialties. boxing matches and all the
rapid things which go to make up a
bachelors feast. The boxing match
between Young Germany and
frankie Ireland was voted draw
at the end of five rounds.

Mccarthy was in the habit OF
brooding over the ingratitude of
baseball managers and players and
1t affected his mind so that he did
not know what he was doing half of
the time. On the day in question
he left the game after a particularly
disagreeable session and went out to
the Cliff house. People saw him
walking down by the sad sea waves
and all at once to the astonishment
of those who were watching his
strange actions. he walked right out
into the breakers.
They thought he contemplated
suicide and rushed to pull him out,
but before they reached him he turn
ed about and waded out himself.
Mccarthy explained it afterward
by saying that he was absent minded,
but Lehman says he believes his
mind was affected and that he did

Secretary Wilson on the
Range Question.

The feud between the cattle and
sheepmen IN the western ranges has
been II of long standing. Cattlemen
have guarded their pastures with thu
Winchester, but have not been able
TO overcome the logged persistence
of h sheepmen. Consequently there
are but few sections of the range
country that have not been subjected
to the close nipping and sharp tramp
ing of the sheep.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
quoted as follows on his subject
We are solving the sheep and cat
tie fight in Wyoming all right, and we
will have ii all fixed if we have time
enough. We are doing it in this way,
The cattlemen are going into the
sheep business and the sheepmen are
going into the cattle business. In
other words, we are running both
sheep and cattle. We find that the
cattle eat part of the grass the sheep
will not touch and the sheep have nc
trouble in getting the fine grass they
want. We have no trouble running
them both on the same n and we
can fatten them both and make more
money than with cattle or sheer
alone.

increase upon the railroads and other
wealthy corporations.
Assessor Stewards avowed deter
mination to protect the homes from
unjust taxation by shifting some of
the burden to the wealthy concerns
that are earning large dividends, and
his consistent two-year record along
this line, have brought down upon
assessments have been increased, in
Guiding the Spokesman-Review, but
it is believed that the voters of
Spokane county by ar overwhelming
majority will endorse Stewards con-
s~istent, honest and courageous fight
for the rights of the smaller tax
payer.
1t is a m and truthful say
ing that it is cheaper to pay rent
than to W a home in Spokane UNI
der the present heavy tax burden,
and this saying will continue to be
true until those properties that pro-
duce large incomes are made to pay
their share of the taxes.
Mr.. Stewart has issued a pamphlet
setting forth in detail his IDEAS on
assessment matters, giving facts and
figures of interest to taxpayers, many
quotations from the law upon the
subject. and explanations of many
points upon which the Spokesman
Review has so unrelentingly n un-
fairly criticized him because he saw
fit to raise the assessment of that
paper and its owner. The little book
let is a brief, temperate and interest
ing statement of MI. Stewards side
of the controversy, and should be
read by every voter who wants to be
fair in passing Judgment upon public
officials. These pamphlets may be
had free at republican headquarters
or at Mr.. Stewards office.

This increase of s593,s10 on rail-
roads is a larger increase than has
been made upon this class of prop
erty by any other county in Wash
ington in the past two years.
There are three classifications in
assessments of railroads, viz: Track,
rolling stock and sidetrack. OF the
10 counties having railroads of the
first class, or transcontinental lines,
only two-Lincoln and Yakima-have
higher rate of assessment than Spo-
kane upon main track and right of
way, two-Snohomish and King-are
lower than Spokane. Only one
Pieree-is higher than Spokane on
sidetrack; Yakima is the same, and
all others are lower than Spokane.
On rolling stock. all are the same, ex-
cept Franklin and Kittitas, which are
lower.
The above will no doubt surprise

undisputed figures from the records,
and they are ample proof of the
claim made by Mr.. Stewards friends
that he is the most lied-about man
in Spokane county.
In addition 10 the above large in

assessor has increased the assess
ment of some SO other firms and cor
porations, including the Washington
Water Power company, the gas COM
pany and the Review Publishing

two million dollars, but has put nc

TO RECOMMEND CHANGES
NE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
WANT MANY PROVISIONS OF
SCHOOL LAW AMENDED,
20 Classify School Districts of the
State-LegisIation to Be
Asked For.

The annual convention of the county
school superintendent of the state of
kane, was concluded Saturday eve
ming. 1t was the best convention ever
held in the state and much good work
was accomplished. Many important
matters We're discussed and as a re-
suit many needed changes We're sug-
gested for legislation at the next
meeting of the state legislature
a recommendation for the division
of the state of Washington into two
classes of school districts was made
to the convention by its committee on
the adoption of text books, and the
report was adopted by the convention.
The report of the committee is as fol-
lows:
We, your committee on the adOp-
ton of text books, recommend that
while We favor the adoption of text
books by the state board of education
and all the county superintendent.
and oppose any maximum price for
text books in such a law, yet advise
against any change in the existing law
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture.''
The committee recommended the
fN11f
school laws:
That section 300, page 121, code of
public instruction, shall read as fol-
lows:
THAT for the purpose of this act the
school districts of the state of Wash
ington shall be, and they hereby are
divided into and shall consist of two
classes, viz: school districts of the
first class and of the second class, and
those of the first class shall consist
of all districts in the state which have
or hereafter shall have, a population
other school district shall be of the
second class The report was adopt
ed without any dissenting vote.
Changes Recommended.
The principal changes advocated by
the committee on legislation are as
follows:
They recommended the abolition of
the third grade certificate.
The lengthening the present term
of county superintendent to four
years, and the removal of a time limit
on the number of terms.
That teachers associations should
be made mandatory.
That the minimum age limit of
teachers should be placed at 20 years
instead Of II.
That the state eighth grade eXami-
nations should be made compulsory,
except in cities of 10000 or more in
habitants.
That children should be compelled
to attend throughout the entire school
term. instead of for four months, as
at present.
That Institutes be made mandatory
in all counties. 1t is likely that the
convention will adopt the report of
the legislative committee without al
tering it in any regard.
