BAD FAITH.

According to the ruling of the execu.
tive committee of the National Good
Roads association, and to the words of
President Moore, during Thursdays ses.
sion at the Portland fair, the convention
held at the Lewis and Clark exposition
is not of National significance, hence,
the tabling of the election of officers
until meeting, later in the year. Such,
AYERS President Moore. was the decis.
ion of the executive committee while in
session at st. Louis recently. His an
nouncement was the occasion for much
dissatisfaction among the members of
the association, in fact, the convention
was the scene of great disorder. The ex-
ecutiye committees decision apparently
was as much of a surprise to Secretary
r. w. Richardson, as to the majority of
the members and to the exposition COM
pany. That these dissensions should
arise at this time when the greatest
work of the association confronts it.
is most unfortunate What President
Moore's object is in wishing to defer
the election is difficult to determine. He
has held his office long and has served
the association well, as have the others
who have taken active interest in the
work. 1t may be, he feels more can be
accomplished by retaining the present
officers, but this would fail to explain
why the Portland convention has been
declared mot National" When negotia.

SENSIBLE WOMEN.

The men of Astoria may be congratu-

Mrs. A. j. Anderson and Mrs.
Cooper were the directors. Miss
Ida Crittenden was the first teacher
and Miss Florence Brondage and
Mrs. Hollinsworth her SUCCESSORS.
In the year 1879 the school popu-
lation was thirty and the adobe
building. now used as residence by
the Rev. Father Brinker. was built,

teachers were employed. In 1894
five room addition was completed
at a cost of $4,000.
During the years lssi-5 Frank

sisted by Miss Mary Norton (now
Mrs. Rufus Philips). and they en-
rolled lso pupils. +. G.. Brown and
W. II. Hart were their successors

The High School was accredited to
the State University in 1899. and in
1904 il was accre lifted to the North

Since 1895 there have been lis to
finish the high school. sixty-one OF

tions of learning. Out of this num-
ber fifteen have been in the schools
of the state and county as teachers.
and nine of those who graduated
last year are teachers in Otero

OF the large number who have
entered the various colleges and
universities not one has been
dropped.
We now have five of our high
school graduates in the School Of
Mines. which is one the stronges.
technical institutions in the United
States. In previous years 80 per
cent of the freshmen entering that
institution have failed In this
number there has never been the

Many graiuatas of the high
school are occupying important po-
sitions in La Junta and elsewere.
Tne fact that twelve or more
teachers. who were formerly EN-
ployed in the schools of La Junta.
are now occupying positions in high

best testimonial as to the qualifica-
tions and efficiency of the teachers.
