a special pleasure when they perform
their duty in spite of severe pressure
and regardless of threats by powerful
interests, says the Spokesman-Revie
Assessor Walton of Adams county,
Assessor Noble of Lincoln county and
Assessor Coonse of Yakima county have
proved their independence of the rail

who has thus far made an assessment of
railroad track and right of way high
above the valuation fixed by Assessor
Dayton ii. Stewart of Spokane county.
Stewart assessed main track of first class
roads at 1892. Assessor Coonse fixed it
at $9240 per mile, or 1852 mile more
than Stewart. Assessor Walton of Adams
county assessed ii at $l2, 400 a mile or
$4608 a mile more than the valuation
fixed by Stewart. Assessor Noble of
Lincoln county fixed the value OF North

to our patriotism: We are daily re-
minded in many ways that the citi-
gen loves his town, his county, his
state and his country, We rejoice
in the establishment of the wireless
telegraph. We hope for the long
distance phone. We welcome the
new settler. We boast of our in
crease in population. We glory in
our constitution and our free schools,
and surely the schools are deserving
of much credit for the progress this
nation has made. But it is easy to
see that a school afflicted with irreg
ular attendance must fall far short
of it's possible efficiency. 1t is easy
to see that its standard of culture
will be low; that the parent who
sends a child to such a school runs
considerable risk of having his child
taught habits of idleness instead of
habits of industry; that the state is
not getting ''value received for the
magnificent sums it spends upon
such schools-in a word, it is easy
to see that such schools cannot pro-
duce a high type of citizenship.
Ever since MASSACHUSETTS estab-
lished free schools in 1647 the Ameri-
can people have taxed themselves
most generously for the support of
public education. And so great is
the faith in the power of money that
many, unconsciously perhaps, Judge
of the efficiency of their schools by
the size of the school tax levy and
the amount of the state school fund.
But these vast sums are wasted, and
the patient teacher has labored in
vain if the children do not attend
school and attend regularly. The
school fund is a sum spent to ward
off the awful curse of ignorance, OF
what avail the expenditure if those
afflicted do not come to take the
treatment, or take it in such a
careless way as to destroy it's eff
ficiency?
It is sad commentary on paren-
tai love that the state must protect
the children and itself by passing
compulsory education laws, and it is
a happy commentary on the wisdom
of the old states that they have
passed laws compelling not THREE
MONTHS attendance yearly, but NINE.
Let the loving parent give his
child, as his richest Inheritance, a
good education and habits of indus
try, and let the patriotic citizen
leave behind him, as his best gift to
the state, good citizen.

INTERNATIONAL
TELEPHONE PLAN
TO CONNECT BELLINGHAM AND
VICTORIA VIA ISLANDS
The Best Telephone Project Yet Pro-
posed for the Advancement of the
Interests Of This County and the
City of Bellingham.

|. The Bellingham Herald says that
''the international Telephone Com
pany, with headquarters in Belling-
ham, is being organized to lay
series Of cables and telephone wires
from this city throughout the San
Juan archipelago and on to Victoria.
'The organizat ton Of the company
is the outgrowth of visit here by
President Wm Farrell of the British
Columbia Telephone Company, which
owns all the systems on the mainland
of the province, and also of Vancou-
yer island. The subject was brought
to the attention of Mr.. Farrell and
officers of the British concern by
David E. Lain, who has been promot-
ing the project for connection with
the islands.
'tThe proposed Improvement would
require the laying of seventeen miles
of cable, in addition to many miles of
land wire. If the British Columbians
become interested, this cable will be
of the heavy ocean type, containing
four copper conductors, two wires
being for business with british Col
umbia and two for business with the
Sound cities. This cable is of Eng
lish make and costs $50, 500 per mile,
making the expense for purchase of
cable alone practically 100000.
son this cable there is very
heavy duty, amounting to several
thousand dollars for the quantity
needed. Mr.. Farrell says that the
question of British Columbia capital
becoming interested in the enterprise
depends largely on whether or not
the duty will be rebated by the
American government. 1t might be
done in the nature of a subsidy, owing
to the great service such telephone
communication from island points
would be for the customs and rev.
enue department, and also because
of the convenience it would be to
residents of the islands themselves.
This phase of the subject has been
presented to officials of the Chamber
of Commerce, which is taking the
matter up with the proper authori
ties,
'fThe route that would be followed
by the proposed line would extend
from this city out through Marietta
and around to a point near Lummi
island; via cable across Hale's pass
to Lummi island; across that island
and thence via of cable again TO
Orcas island; thence from Orcas to
Shaw island; from Shaw island to San
Juan, and thence by cable from the
west coast of the island across to the
shore of Vancouver island at point
near Victoria. The total distance
would be about seventy miles. "

Editor ISLANDER

EulGOr ISLAND Eh.
The writer wishes to make a plea
for more regular attendance at
school, and especially to plead that
the children be kept in school during
the whole school year, even if parents
have to make some sacrifices to do
this. There are three good reasons
why the parent should not, except in
cases of extreme necessity, take his
child out of school before the close of
the school year.
The greatest evil resulting from
irregular attendance is the injury
both to the pupil himself and possibly
to every member of his class in
school, for the law requires that
the pupil shall not be promoted un-
less he proves himself, in an exam
ination test, fit for promotion. Not
many pupils who attend school six,
seven, or eight months in year de-
serve promotion along with other
members of the same class who have
attended the whole nine months. If
the teacher, contrary to law, allows
such pupil to go on with his class,
either the class must be held back to
keep pace with the irregular pupil,
in which case the whole class are inn
posed upon by having their time
wasted, or the teacher must ad-
vance his class steadily on and leave
the straggler behind, when the con-
sequence will be that this pupil will
lose his grip, be unable to do the
work, get discouraged, become an
idler, and get into deviltry, for San
idle brain is the devils workshop"
Consider the awful consequence to
this child: Instead of learning the
habit of industry, which important
lesson the public school is designed to
teach, he has become shiftless do
nothing. Far better for that child
had his parents sent him nine months
the year before instead Of seven and
kept him at home working the whole
of the year following.
If, on the other hand, the teacher
resists the temptation to promote
this pupil, complies with the law, and
does her duty to the remainder of
the class, the pupil must stay in the
same grade another year, where the
work will be too easy; and again he
will learn idleness rather than indus
try and be a demoralizing element in
the school, Woe to the teacher who
has the task of managing an idle
pupil; woe to the school that has
such demoralizing conditions; woe to
the boys and girls who must, day
after day, receive such an object les
son in idleness. Better, again, for
that school and for that pupil had he
attended the whole year previous
and staid out working all of the next
year.
To the laymap, the above may
seem an exaggeration; to teachers,
it is "a plain, unvarnished tale"--
and sad one. The time lost and
the amount of harm done is not
measured by the number of days a
pupil stays out. ''My boy lost only
two months of school last year." is
an oft-repeated fallacy.
r For lack of space, the other two
reasons for the plea made at the be-
ginning of this article must be men
toned briefly. 1t appears from the
discussion of the first point that
pupil will finish any given course in
much less time if he can attend regu-
larly, and hence the parent would
have the use of more of his child's
time and at an age when his time
was worth more.
The third argument Is an appeal

DIVORCE TANGLE is SETTLED.
Mrs. Clemence Dodge Morse at Last
Knows Who Is Her Husband.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-At last Mrs.
Clemence C. Dodge Morse knows
whose wife she is. The appellate divi-
sion of the supreme court handed
the wife of Charles w. Morse, the ice
king This ends one phase of the most
remarkable case that ever claimed the
attention of New York courts.
For more than year Mrs. Morse
has been uncertain whether she was
the wife of Charles w. Morse or Chas.
F. Dodge In that time she has been
declared the wife of Dodge, the wife
of Morse and the wife of neither.
Worse than all, it appeared at one
time that she was the wife of both.
Mrs. Clemence c. Dodge got di-
vorce in the New York courts in 1898
from her husband, Charles e. Dodge,
who was then a hotel proprietor in At
lanta. Not long afterward she mar
ried Charles w. Morse. About year
ago Charles F. Dodge claimed he had
never been served with papers and
was granted a decree setting aside the
divorce. Mrs. Morse had her marriage
to Morse annulled. This left her the
wife of Dodge.
DEGREES weer finally ordered by
which the first divorce was declared
legal and Mrs. Dodge Morse became
Mrs Morse. This did not end the COM
plication. The case was carried to the
appellate division, which sustained the
lower court in declaring that she was
Morse's wife.
