assembly. as the one entitled to all

State.
The light began years ago. due to an
order Of the national council that the
States should pay increased taxation
to the national council. This several
OF the larger States opposed unless
they were accorded increased repre-.
'sentation. The national council lie
clined 10 provide for the increased
representation. and the '"insurgcnts'
declined to pay or to recognize tho
authority of the national council. Lee
gal proceedings were begun to com
pei obedience 10 the mandates of the
national council, and the courts have
held. in several States, that the State
councils were competent To attend to
their own affairs, and the national
council has been defeated in mnny
cases.

body chartered by the State, are in
high feather ut the result of the case.

II. Thou shalt patronize thy home

III. Thou shalt employ thy home
mechanics that they shall not be driv

goods cost much and the merchants

raiment as adorneth her sister.
Blessed, yea, thrice blessed, is the
man who pays the cash.

his clerks, ha, ha.
VI. Thou shalt do whatever heth

VII Thou shalt not suffer voice of
pride to overcome thee and if other
towns entice thee consent thou not for

VIII. Thou shall spend thy earn

ishment to such as come after thee.
TX. Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against the town wherein thou
dwelleth but speak well Of it to all

X. Thou shall keep these command
ments and teach them to thy children

of your living like gentleman and
your wife like lady. You do not
know the hardships and suffering of
people who live in the city. Clerks
are losing their health porihg over
books, and are not getting anywhere
near as much salary as you can make
on the farm, even if you do sometimes
want to go out and work by the day
for the want of ready money. Do not
be too much welded to old ideas and
localities, nor value against your own
interests the ties of kindred and what
you have always thought of generally
as home. A farmers real home is
never rented one.

w. A. Richards, commissioner Of
the general land Office, has prepared
circular letter of instruction copy
Of which will be sent in the future to
every person who makes a homestead
entry of public land. The letter is
intended to acquaint every entryman
with the terms and provisions of the
homestead law, and the requirements
for obtaining land under its provisions
so that, in the future, ignorance of the
law will not palliate any failure to
comply with it. Sixty-nine thousand
homestead entries were made last year
and this year they are averaging 1000
a month.

Umatilla county is after the prize
for the best county exhibit at the

ent will be placed in charge with the
view of securing return Of one half
of the cost of the exhibit, as offered
by the management Of the fair, where
the exhibit reaches valuation of
$1,000 or more. No better plan than
the massive Roycroft could have been
selected for Umatilla's booth. The
booth is to be of commodious preten-
sions, the specifications giving 20x35
feet in size, 12 feet high, with table
18 inches in width around the three
sides of the booth, and exhibit shelves
arranged through the entire length of
the structure. Athena grains, grasses
and cereals, Milton and Freewater
fruit and vegetables, Weston brick

kets will form the substantial basis
for the county exhibit that will be
sent after the prize.

NEW COURSE OF STUDY.


State Superintendent of Public In
struction ]. FL. Ackerman has an
nounced the new course of study
which will be used in the public
schools, beginning next September.
In the latter part of 1904 Professor
Ackerman asked the principals of all
the schools of the state for suggest
ions as to the revision of the course of
study. In the light of these suggest
ions and his own experience, Mr..
Ackerman has arranged the course.
The state board will take final action
ON it at its meeting on next Monday.
Any suggestions in regard to the study
course will be considered at that time.
The board consists of the superinten-
dent of public instruction, the secre-

Everybody is interested in good
roads, and Athena should be repre-
sented in the Good Roads conven-
tion at Pendleton May 10 and is, by
large delegation. More especially
should a delegation represent Athena
because of the fact that the Oregon
Development League will also partic-
ipate in the convention, which now
takes on the magnitude of joint con-
vention. If Athena is represented to
proper degree and her wants made
known, she can obtain stopover priv
ileges for Fasteners who come to the
Lewis and Clark fair over the Harri-
man lines of railroad, as proposed by
a letter from Tom Richardson, Of the
Development League, published else
where in this issue Of the Press. Those
having the success of the joint conven-
tion at heart are working day and
night to secure good attendance, and
as incalculable benefit can be secured
for every city, town and locality rep
resented, the Press would like to see
Athena send as large delegation as
possible. To further the interests of
Athena in this direction and that it
may be known far and wide that this
city stands ready to cooperate for
better roads and development Of re-
sources of county and state, the Press
suggests that Mayor Taylor and the
Commercial Association take the mat
ter up and see to it that representa-
tive body of men goes from Athena
to the convention.

With wheat that can be grown pro-
fitably at 40 cents bringing 80, and
wool at 18 cents, the highest figure in
20 years, and with corresponding pric-
es for dairy products, fruit and other
produce, the farmers of the Inland
Empire would be justified under any
circumstances in looking forward to a
prosperous year, says the Spokesman
Review. Yes, and add to the existing
good prices the prospect of their
continuance because of the great in
crease Of market demands, the lot of
the farmers is more enviable than any
other class of producers.

The high school course is practically
unchanged and the greatest changes
in the common schools are in the
arithmetic and history course. Troy
weight, apothecaries' liquid measure,
foreign currency, the metric system,
bank account, exact interest, COM
pound interest, true discount, stocks
an6 bonds and all problems embrac-
ing these principles are eliminated
from the arithmetic course. Profess
sor Ackerman explains that these
principles are hardly ever used by the
students, and by leaving them out it
will give more time to the more prac-
tical part of the work. Mental and
written will be combined and only one
recitation had day. History and
civil government will be combined
and two years given to complete the
course. In geography only one book
will be used except in schools having
four or more teachers and more only
by formal vote of the board of di-
rectors. A three book course in
language is not recommended at all
below the high school and in reading
all supplementary books will be omit
ted.
ALI the books in the new outline
have been contracted for by the state
and must be purchased by the pupil.
The other courses remain unchanged
with the exception that drawing and
music are made optional-drawing
from the first year up and music from
third year up.

their wealth may be. There are a
score of failures where there is one
success.
So far as the farmers are concerned
or any one else who was in possession
OF good wheat at the prices early last
fall they have profitted immensely in
the aggregate. They have been able
to sell at prices far above the natural
figure. So high was the price arti-
ficially forced that deliverable grain
came from every quarter. There was
more of it than the Gates crowd calcu-
lated, as nearly always turns out to be
the case. This fact broke down the
scheme.
