Art proud. my country, that these mighty ones
Wearing the ieweloi -plendor Of old days,
Come bringing prodigslify Of praise

She wears our image she that o yei the slave o.
Pear them, for there Is blood Upon their hands
And on their head- the curse of ruined hands
1t is time that such note was ut

gruous i'm the identity that exists be-
tween colonial policy the diplomatic

that exists between this nation Of

SIX PER CENT BONDS
DISTRICT NO. 30 RENEWs WITH
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.
Accepts Provision of Paying $1,000
on Dec. l, 1904, and Dec. /,
1905, on Principal.

The question of reducing the bonded
Indebtedness of school district No. 20,
and also of securing lower rate of in
terest, has been before the school board
for some time, as recently announced in
the PRESS. The bonds, which are held
by the Syracuse University of Syracuse,
N. Y, have been drawing per cent
interest for ten years. up to December
/, 1908.
The object of the board was to issue
new bonds at lower rate of interest,
and at the same time reduce the princi-
pal. 1t was found that the bonds could
be taken up and O. G. Chamberlain,
clerk of the board, commu nicated with
the university regarding the matter.
The university will continue to hold the
bonds of the district at 6 per cent in
terest, reduction of one per cent. 1t
also grants permission to reduction of
principal as desired by the board, name
ly $1,000 on Dec. l, 1904, and $1,000 on
Dec l, 1905. The rate of 6 per cent is
to date from Dec. /, 1908. The follow
ing self-explanatory letter was read be-
fore the board at its meeting Monday
evening, the provisions of which have
been accepted:
Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 22
o. G. Chamberlain,
Athena, Oregon:
We are in receipt of your favor of the
9th inst. accepting our proposition to
extend time of payment of bonds of dis
trict No. 20, for five years from Dec. /,
1903, at 6 per cent interest. 1t will be
entirely satisfactory to us if your dis
trict pays $1,000 on Dec. !, 1904, and
$1,000 an Dec. 1, 1905, inasmuch as ar
rangements have already been made to
make such payments

Touring mills announce an advance Of
10 cents barrel in -four as a result of
the cost Of wheat. Millers have been
considering the advance for some time,
as the rivalry between them and the ex-
