Education Neglected by the State.
Louisiana has done and is doing very lit
tie for the education Of its citizens. The
legislature is not liberal. The schools of
the state enjoy the income at 4 per cent
from fund of 81. 1913 .O67. which Is the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of lands granted to the
state by Congress for educational purposes;
there Is a tax of ~ mills upon assessed
property, which amounts to about $45O.O0O
a year: the proceeds of the poll tax, which
amounts to about $156.00O year; the cor
poratiOn tax. which is about $4090OO, and
about S200,O0O from other sources of reve-
nue.. The constitution of the state has re-
Gently been amended, raising the limit OF
taxation for school purposes. which Will
increase the revenue from that source to
about $6OO000: and the legislature at its
last session made a long needed reform
by pa ssing law taking the superintendent
of the schools and teachers outside of po-
litical influence and requiring them to be
practical educators.

population, which. according to the census
of 1900 numbers 53S.267 This is about 81

child is devoted by the legislature of Louis
lana to the education Of its coming gener-
i alton.
There are 3.433 schools in the state which
makes an average of about $3.50 per school
per year. The total number of pupils en-
rolled during the year 1903 was 203 1873.
The average attendance was 155 794. of
whom TO-, 1S9 were white and So COS were
colored. This shows an average expendi-
ture of only $40 per year for every child
in attendance, withs landing the fact
that in proportion to its population Louis
lana is of the richest of the states.
The schools were open on an average 100
days of the year. The white men teachers
were paid an average salary of $42 so per
month. and the white women teachers

and Diamond Ring, Else 1t is Pos

Red" Kirkwood was arrested by
the police this morning charged with
larceny from the person. His alleged
victim is Jack Dillon, of La Grande.
The supposed touching" occurred at
an early hour this morning in a room
at the Queen lodging house.
Dillon came to Pendleton last night
from La Grande, and fell in with
Kirkwood. Several times during the
evening Kirkwood attempted to bor-
row money from the La Grande man,
but failed. Later Dillon went to bed
at the Queen, and Kirkwood came to
his room with woman. Dillon told
the latter to take a dollar from his
trousers and go after some beer.
Kirkwood took, not one dollar, but
another also, and left to return no
more. Soon after, the proprietor of
the house discovered the woman in
the room, and she was ordered to
leave. The police arrested Red this
morning. It is likely that Dillon
would have lost more money, but
earlier in the night he gave to Police
man Coffman $50 and diamond
ring to keep for him.

NEW LIVESTOCK DISEASE.
Tacoma and Other Washington Cities
Are Furiously Attacked.

A disease virulent and deadly in its
effects, contagious to a degree, ap-
bearing in many cases in both epi-
down many horses and other animals
in this city within the past two or
three months, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
The disease has also appeared in
the country in many places and at
McNeil's island. In a majority of
cases the disease has appeared in a
mild form. When the animal was
given the proper care and attention
at the hands of n veterinary surgeon
it has recovered.
According to DIR. Samuel A. Rhoads,
city veterinary surgeon of Tacoma,
the disease is a gastrical catarrhal ir-
ritation of the bowels. 1t is caused
more or less through sudden changes
i'm the weather and is more of a cli-
matte disease than anything else. 1t
generally appears in places where
changes in climatic conditions are
sudden and severe.
1t is caused by small germ and
is a disease for which there is at
present no known remedy. Anti-toxin
of the present grade fails to have the
least effect and it will require a new
and better remedy to annihilate the
germ.
II is an extremely difficult disease
to treat, masmuch as the horse If at

Attracted by the promise of an Ell
Dorado in a townsite scheme in the
city of Jalisco, Southern Mexico,
about ESQ excursionists will leave
Walla Walla about January 20, to
look over the prospects offered in the
Mexican city.
A townsite company with head
quarters in San Francisco has been
working up the excursion in Eastern
Washington for the past three weeks,
and an agent has been in Pendleton
for several days on the same scheme.
The excursion is primarily a townsite
boom scheme, as the excursion ticket
includes a S25 payment which en-
titles the purchaser to drawing in
the townsite scheme.
The regular price of the round trip
excursion ticket is to be but $45, but
each purchaser of an excursion ticket
must pay S25 for a chance in the
drawing. There are no blanks in the
drawing, it is said, but every one TAX
ing an excursion ticket gets some
thing-either a town lot an acre tract
or a larger tract of land.
| 1t is LOTTERY SCHeine pure dnO
! simple, and while the low excursion
rate has attracted many people, very
, few of those who will go expect to
! reap any returns from the drawing.
/ Jalisco is a growing city on the
| Pacific coast. about 200 miles south
east of the City of Mexico. and is said
to have a fine climate, and is now a
Mecca for Americans.
! John Switzler of Switzler's island,
! in the Columbia river near Umadila,
will go to Jalisco, but may go in adj
vance of the excursion. He will go
to look over the country, generally,
with a view to purchasing land. and
may not take any part in the Jalisco
drawing. Several other Pendleton
citi1ens have thought seriously of TAX
/ ing the trip, just for the outing and
/ to see the country.
The excursion will be made by rail.
by way of Los Angeles, and will pass
through some of the most magnifi-
cent scenery on the American conti-
nent in Mexico.
1t is said that 100 people from Wal
la Walla, 120 from Lewiston and
about 90 from Pomeroy have made
arrangements to take the excursion.
The trip will consume about four
weeks time.

LAND FOR RESERVOIR.
Withdrawal Of 2SiO Acres for WASH
tucna Irrigation Project.

The officers of the local land office
have received telegram from the
acting commissioner of the general
land office at Washington, d. c.,
that the department had withdrawn
from entry in Franklin county about
2S40 acres, says the. Walla Walla
Statesman. The land lies along the
Palouse river, extending west about
five miles from the confluence of
Cow creek and the Palouse.
No entry will be allowed on this
land except homestead entry, nor can
the homesteader commute his entry,
or gain title to the land i'm any other
way than by actually residing on the
land five years.
The withdrawal, however, does not
affect those entries which have al
ready been made, which are subject
to the rights allowed to the entry
men at the time the land was entered
on.

The disease is contagious in that it
will, after striking one horse, spread
the epizootic form it will spread
throughout a barn, attacking every
animal in the place, whether a horse,
mule or dog. If in the enzootic form,
it will probably jump from the first

SMUGGLING AT SEATTLE.
Cinnamon Caught With Cigars and
Opium Cached" Away.


The United States customs officers
seized 500 Manila cigars and 10 tins
of opium in the Chinese quarters
aboard the steamship Minnesota
shortly before noon today, says the
Seattle Star.
The raid was made by Inspectors
Lotus, Osburn and Weinburg while
the majority of the Cinnamon were
engaged in working about the ship.
As a result, the officers got chance
to make a pretty thorough search of
nearly the whole quarters before the
"Chinks" had time to make away
with any of the stuff.
The opium was brought over from
Hongkong by several of the China
men, who were desirous of making a
little on the side. The dope" was
concealed In the hunks and in odd
places among the baggage. None of
the men were arrested, as the goods
were not found upon their persons.
The Chinks made no attempt to
conceal the cigars, not understanding
that there was duty on them as on
the opium.

to a banquet at which beer, oranges,
pie, sandwiches and other delicacies

After the banquet the crowd was en-
