P.-I. SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST

The Seattle acknowledgements has
adopted plan to advance the edu-
cational interests of the Pacific north
west, particularly of the state Of
Washington, that viii no doubt com
mend itself to the various education
al institutions of this section, as well
as to the young people who are striv-
ing after higher education. The plan
involves the awarding of a number OF
scholarships in the best schools and
colleges, supplemented with cash, In
some cases, for incidental expenses,
to number of boys and girls who
otherwise would not have the means
to provide for next years schooling
Subscribers to the Post Intelligencer
will have voice in selecting the stu
dents to whom the scholarships and
money shall be given, by means of a
voting coupon and system of credits
allowed on every prepaid subscrip-
ton to the paper. The contest will
run throughout the summer vaca-
ton, and candidates for the scholar
ships can do a profitable business
during the vacation period by drum
ming up subscriptions and obtaining
the votes and the cash commission
which the publishers will pay on all
new subscriptions. The contestant
having the highest number of votes
at the end of the contest will have
first choice of the scholarships and
cash prizes; the second in line will
have second choice, and so on. OPP
portunity is given any bright pupil
to earn anywhere from 800 to $500
before the schools reopen for the fall
term. The fact that the newspaper
will profit by the scheme in increased
circulation detracts nothing from the
benefit it will be to the pupils and the
schools themselves, which will re-
ceive great deal of very desirable
publicity through the contest. Nc
better scheme to arouse interest in
the cause of education has ever been
devised. It has given great salts
faction wherever tried in other parts
of the country, and the Post-Intelli-
gencer is to be congratulated on in
PRODUCING it here

The Deer Harbor school district
is now making a third effort to sell
it's bonds for 81 500 for the erection
of new school house. With tens
upon tens of thousands of dollars
of state school funds lying idle in
Olympia banks it is shame that a
school district having a valuation
of over $4,000 and no Indebtedness
should experience any difficulty, in
securing a loan of 81 800 from the
state at six per cent interest.

Alfred Burke, one of the coun-
tvs Oldest pioneers, "whose years
number nearly three score and ten
and who is bent and wrinkled and
gray" has been bound over to APP
pear before United States grand
jury in November on the charge of
smuggling. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for him by those who know
him best and yet no one familiar
with his reputation and circum-
stances appears to entertain the
least doubt of his guilt. Why then
so much sympathy? Is it evidence
of lack of respect for law among
our people or a sort of an express
ion ofregret that others thought to
be more culpable than he are not
In the tolls of the law? Assuredly
not the former. The people of this
county can i'll afford to have the
impression get abroad that thew
either sympathize with or connive
at the violation of a law from
which they profit directly more
than the people of any other coun-
ty in western Washington. And
even if they were not benefciaries
OF the economic policy of the party
which is overwhelming in the ma
jority in this county, they owe it
to their children to teach them
that strict compliance with the
laws enacted to promote the great
est good of the greatest number is
one of the highest duties of citizen
ship. The officer in charge of Gus
toms matters here has long been
advised of Mr.. Burke's operations
but his arrest was delayed until
conclusive proof against him could
be obtained. The government also
has knowledge of the operations
OF certain other more or less dis
tnguished citizens for whom little
sympathy will be expressed in the
event Of their apprehension.

will be presented to the county

1t is expected that Russia will
be required to pay Japan awar in
demnity nearly twice as great as
would have been accepted imme-
diately after the fall of Port Arthur
or even after the crushing defeat
of General Kuropatkin at the bat
tie of Mukden. It is said that the
car might have settled then for
$SOO,OOO,OO0,. and that since the
virtual destruction of Russia's
naval power in the great battle in
the Korean straits the price OF
peace has gone up to 81 500, 100000

Saving
Money

AO11Gy
We wish to call your atten-
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John D. Rockefeller
tells us that 'tAnyone can make
money;few can safe it. 1.-THE man
who is saving money is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage Of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
It is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates a habit of life that is
fruitful in results. It is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the bank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to $64.72 in
five years and to $1,000 in ten
years at per cent? That S. de-
posted each month will amount
to $324.8I in five years and to
$699.58 in ten years? Think it
over, remembering meanwhile
that THE SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is we'll equipped to care
for its large business; that it has
established Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. 1t aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving "habit." 1t would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
An attractive little booklet,
Banking by Mail" will be
mailed upon request if you
mention this paper.
