A GREAT STRUCTURE.
Chenonceaux Among the Earliest Of
the Noble Renaissance Build
ings Of France.

Chenonceaux and Azay-le-Rideau are
among the earliest Of the great Renas-
cence buildings Of France, says Richard
Whiteing, in the Century. They belong
to time when the style had native
originality OF its own, and sprang up on
French soil with little assistance from
Italy. Seen In the glowing light OF
morning, the grand mass Of the chateau.
Including the later part that spans the
stream, seems to figure the glorious
dawn of modern art. The originality
Of its conception has never been wholly
lost. The Bohiers, who were the first
builders, gave much that Francis, with
his more slavish copy of Italian models,
could never have supplied. Chenan-
ceaux is a great building, greatly de-
signed, daring, fantastic, original, and
yet with an underlying simplicity. 1t
synchronized with the determination
Of the French monarchy to treat its
function as mainly the opportunity for
q good time. 1t was gay even under
Catherine de- Medici. Mary Stuart and
her BOBBY husband, the second Francis,
made a triumphant entry there. Louis
XIV. strutted through its halls. II has
a history Of varied and distinguished
human occupancy right down to our
own epoch. NJ. Grevy, when president
OF the republic, used to visit there as
guest of the Pelouzes; and, 1t is said,
was not displeased to sleep in the bed
of Francis |.
M. Wilson, his son-in-law, and men,
Der of the family Of hts hosts. used to
combine there taste for archaic glories
with a strict attention to business Of q
purely modern cast. He had telephone
that ran from the chateau to the bourse.
His ardor for this more commercial
pursuit cost the aged president his
chances Of a second term. The wire
from Chenonceaux, and the company
promoting ciculars dated from the
Elysee in town, were too much; and the
old man who had lost the power Of gov
erning his family was considered IN
worthy Of longer governing France.
Nine. Pelouze pulled the place about
most distressingly, and made altera-
lions In 1t that were in despicable taste.
There was something characteristic in
the entire incident Of this tenancy. To
such, or their like, the chateux must
all come, where they are not specially
reserved by the state. They are costly
to keep up; there is little popular enthu-
siasm about them as historic glories,
for nothing can ever repair the breach
of revolutionary France with its past.
In this state of things, naturally, the
modern founder of a family has his
chance. Sometimes he buys for resi-
Dental purposes and preserves with

ulation, and then whole gallery Of

MERGE THE SCHOOLS.

County Superintendent of Schools
Frank X. Welles is of the opinion
that some of the county school districts
could be consolidated to advantage,
especially the mountain districts. In
speaking of the matter to the Weston
Leader Mr.. Welles said:
II found these mountain schools in
satisfactory condition, but l believe it
would be profitble move for the
parents and pupils if some of them
could be consolidated under certain
school law with which most of the
directors in this county do not seem to
be familiar.
Briefly speaking, this law provides
that any district in which there is a
small school may maintain its organ
ization, yet suspend its own school in
definitely and send its own children to
school in one or more nearby districts.
Its directors remain in charge of its
affairs as before, and control its funds
which they may use for paying the
tuition Of the pupils and for transport
ing them to the neighboring school.
1.-THE advantages of this law seem
to be obvious, yet it is generally ig-

ATHENA, MAY 49,. 26, 1906

The bunch of taffy handed us by the
East Oregonian was fairly well dished
up, but for the reason that the Press
does not consider Mr.. Huffman's paper
in the light of a competitor, we fail to
grasp the connecting link in this batch
Of soft soap:
"Since the Athena Press started its
semi-weekly issue, it has grown to be
one of the best country exchanges
coming to the desk of the East Ore
gonian. It is newsy, we'll made up
geographically and progressive, and
reflects the spirit and energy of the
wide-awake town which it SO ably
represents and defends. The East Ore
gonian hopes to see other Umatilla
county weeklies advance to the semi
weekly stage, as the Press has done.
Every community in Umatilla county
deserves a live paper and the East Ore
gonian is not so selfish nor narrow as
to wish to cover the field alone and
exclusively. While it goes in large
numbers to every postofice in Una
tilla county, and is constantly increas-
ing its circulation in unexpected
places, it delights to see the other
papers in the county thrive and ex-
pand. No other county on the Paci-
fic coast can boast of eight as large,
newsy, progressive weeklies as Una
tilla and the East Oregonian wishes
them we'll and hopes they will all be
semi weeklies before another year
opens. =
Thanks, awfully. II Bert desires to
stay in the corner and pull taffy let
him pull. We are willing to place
ring in his ladder of fame as being
crafty, foxy and versatile writer and
juggler premier Of fact. II the Press
editorial was too hot for his slight-of
hand equilibrium, that's his business.
In support of the position he takes
there are two differences to be drawn
in conclusion. Either Bert didn't
read the Press editorial or the East
Oregonian has no ''ribs" left. If
the first inference be the correct one,
then he missed what others did read
and if he will dig it up he will find
there is nothing coarse embodied in its
composition to jar the sensibilities of
his effeminate nature, but merely a
gentle reminder that he was off his
pedestal. AS to the second inference,
evasion and silence is sufficient sub
sanitation.

application the intending purchaser
must give his postoffice address and
make the usual affidavit that he wants
the land for bis own use and has made
no agreement express or implied to
sell or dispose of it. The notary pub
lie, in taking the oath of the applicant
must also certify that he knows him
to be the person whose name is signed.
Two witnesses must sign the applica-
ton, give their own postoffice address
and certify that they know the appli-
cant and believe that he wants the
land for his own use and benefit and is
applying in good faith. The witness
es must swear to their statement and
the notary must certify that the wit
nesses are personally known to him.
The requirements in making an appli-
cation for state land are now more
strict than the formalities in execut-
ing deed.

ers, and yet better wages could be
paid and better teaching service there
by secured.
Il will illustrate what mean by
citing one instance on the mountain.
Within radius of six miles and con-
nec.ed by easy roads are four schools,
as follows: District No. 81, enroll
ment IL, present 10; No. 95, enroll
ment s, present 8; No. IA, enrolment
IL, present 10; No. 90, enrolment IA,
present s. total enrolment AZ, total
attendance 81. In district No. 95, five
of the pupils belong to one family. At
a glance it may be seen that consoli-
dation of two or more of these schools
would result in benefit. In fact, one
capable teacher could handle the COM
bined attendance Of all four, and the
integrity of each district would still
be preserved.
Another instance is to the point,
out Of many that could be cited In the
county.
''In neighboring districts east of
Helix there are three schools, one with
four pupils, another with seven, and
the third with three, total Of Is.
Here one school and one teacher would
easily suffice. Three miles west of
Helix there is district with but two
pupils. This could be suspended and
the pupils sent to the Helix school
with mutual advantage.
Near Weston there are seven small
schools which could profitably be
suspended, it seems to me, and the
pupils transported to the graded school
in your city, under the law. In case
this arrangement did not prove salts
factory, it could be abandoned at any
time"
