his physique always counted heavily
against him, in the opinion of both
the laity and the physicians. while his
fatigued condition on his return from
n particularly irksome trip through the
country was also against him. There
is no doubt that his death is attributed
to mosquito bite.
Short Sketch of His Life.
Archbishop Placide Louis Chapj.clie
was native of Mende, France where
he was born Aug. 2S, 1872. He came
to the United States in 1859 and was

While the school boards of the
state may agree with Joe Trigg, it
is more than probable that they
would like to have him cut out of

TIE CASTLE OF cHApuLrEpEc.

OF all the beautiful places in the
Valley Of Mexico there are none
more beautiful! than the Castle Of
Chapultepec. And it is the most
historic spotin America. The Aztecs
who gave it the name it now bears,
meaning the hill of the grasshopper,
occupied it in 1879 and built tenn
pie on it's summit where some Of
their emperors lived. And carvings
oil Aztec princes can still be seen on
the rocks. 1t is connected with the
business part Of the city by what is
claimed to be the grandest boule-
ward on the continent examined
what is called Montezuma's we'll on
the south side of the hill. 1t is a
beautiful spring at the bottom of a
well-walled, cellar-like excavation.
The water boils up in generous
quantities and is piped over into the
city. 1t was believed by the Aztecs
to be the sanctuary Of water spirit
The palace that stands on the sum
nit at the present time was com
pleted by the Spaniards in 1855. 1t
was occupied by numerous Spanish
viceroys. Within it's walls Maxi
milan and poor Carlotta enjoyed
their brief dream Of regal power. At
the present time it is occupied by
President Diaz, and it is also the
West Point of Mexico, the place
where the youths Of that country are
trained in the arts of war
The castle is reached by wind
ing carriage road about three fourths
OF mile in length; and. after had
walked up this road to the top OF
the hill, was quite certain that the
place was much higher than the
elevation shown in the photograph
from which the above cut was made.
The American army under General
Scott captured the City Of Mexico in
lS47, by advancing upon it from the
south, and the day before this visit
to Chapultepec, | had been out over
the battlelields OF Contreras, Churu-
busco and Molino del Rey, but the
view from the castle on this Hill Of
the Grasshopper gave me a far bet
ter idea OF the movements of our
army than l obtained by travelling
over the country. 1t was a view
long to be remembered. Far to the
south, near the foothills Of the noun
tains, the brown walls of Churubusco
could be seen, and beyond them stand
mountains with their p eaks clad in
everlasting snow. In the middle
distance there are lakes and green
fields, and nearby is the battle
ground Of Moline del Rey. Below
your feet stand tall cypress trees,
which shade well paved walks and
driveways, and beyond them to the
northeast the magnificent city
spreads out over the landscape. !

pendence, the division of the people
into the above mentioned classes still
prevailed. A country's social sys-
TEN cannot be changed in day.
But the political turbulence of the
fifty years preceding the first cleo
ton of Diaz, as president, formed the
nucleus of a true middle class, which
during the qnarter of a century or
more of peaceful conditions under
Diaz's rule, has multiplied and di-
versiIied. New activities and new
fields of labor have given steady
employment, at good wages, to an
ever increasing number, and they
are the middle class of the country,
the nation builders of Modern
Mexico.

On July LIST. 1920, the Aztecs
drove Cortez out of the City of Mex
leo. In one of the suburbs there is
still standing, with fence around
it to keep the American tourists
from cutting it up and carrying it
away for relics, great tree under
which Cortez is said to have sat
down and cried on the Dismal Night
following his defeat. But Cortez
was a resourceful as well as cruel
man. Instead of abandoning the
country he proceeded to make friends
among the natives, who were enc
mics of the Aztecs, and the year
following his Dismal Night he re-
entered the capital at the head of
about 500 Spaniards and ,l25,O00
Indian warriors, and thereafter the
Aztecs as a nation ceased to exist.
Their government and their institu-
tons were destroyed, not by Span
iards but by Indians under the di-
rection of European sagacity and
science. But the Aztccs did not cease
TO eSist as people. On the con
trary, they continued to occupy the
territory Of Mexico, and are today
the dominating power in the gov
eminent of that country.
For twelve or fourteen years the
destroying hand of Cortez fell like
a plague, not only on those who OPP
posed his will, but upon the tenn
pies, the shrines, and everything
that was dear and sacred to the
Aztecs. Even those who regard
Cortez as a Christening rod in the
hand of Jehovah, admit that at times
he must have exceeded his authority

you should pay as large salary as you
can afford, knowing that you cannot
expect to secure a good teacher unless
yon pay fair salary. My experience
has been that a short term, with a

better for the children than longer
term, with poor teacher at poor
salary.
We have many excellent teachers in

good teachers here at home, / think
You should employ them in preference

The poorest teachers often carry the

WARNING THAT is TIMELY
WY " ny JVAAcy
FRANK X. WELLES,
perintendent Umatilla County

portland Telegram.)
But few days ago .the Portland
Travellers Aid Association of this city
announced the preparation of a large
number of leaflets and placards, to be
distributed in the various centers of
population, warning unskilled and un-
employed young women against COM
ing to Portland to seek positions simp-
ly because it is exposition year. It
is the purpose to set forth the fact
that such field of labor will be greatly
overcrowded. Such warning is timely,
and the hope is that it will prove
efficacious.
It is very natural that many young
women should be attracted to an expo
sition city, in the belief that remuner-
ative employment is to be had merely
for the asking. This is a mistaken
notion, nevertheless; dangerously SO,
in fact, as that young woman may re-
alize whose ambitious mission results
in failure, and who finds herself
without employment, means, friends
or protection in city like Portland,
with great exposition in full swing.
The risks incident to such step are
not to be complacently contemplated
by those of the gentle sex who are
endowed with plenty Of moral stami-
ma and who have some knowledge kof
the world, while to the inexperienced
not so equipped there is positive
menace in the situation.
It would be we'll if the Portland
Travellers Aid association called at
tention in its warning to the unfortu-
nate fact that young women of the
city who now have employment as
clerks, stenographers and the like have
cause to complain Of the conditions
which the cupidity of the landlord
and boarding house proprietor prom
ises to impose. These latter, evident
ly believing that there is to be but one
year in Portland, that the present
year of the exposition, and after that
the deluge, have signified their inten-
tion of advancing room rent and the
price of board until their working girl
patrons have come to regard the fair
as detriment to their welfare. Many
of these young women declare that
after they pay the advanced price of
living, they will have left from a
weeks wages but fraction of dol
lar for clothing and incidental ex-
penses.
These facts, if forcibly brought to
the attention Of young women who
enormously believe that during the ap-
preaching summer Portland will be a
veritable industrial Mecca should be
beneficially discouraging. These are
not pleasant facts, even for Portland
people to contemplate. 1t is indeed
pitable that any considerable class OF
persons should allow the mighty dol
lar to tread so closely upon the heel of
their conscience or perhaps more ac-
curately, trample conscience under
foot entirely. 1t is the condition, how
ever, and not the ethical desire, that
the wage-earning young woman Of
Portland who does not live at home
has to face. The more clearly this
condition is understood by her sisters
abroad infinitely better will it be fol
all concerned.
