TALLY owned in this city will probably
be engaged TO carry coal from Chesa-

that coal freights 10 Boston and other

The most interesting tenant in the
Equitable building in this city is Geo.
Irving, the only surviving nephew
Of Washington Irving, the author. He
is the son Of John T. Irving, former
ly chief Judge Of the court of common
pleas and the ablest member of the
family next to the author. George
Irving is one Of the oldest natives
of this city, and can relate some very
interesting "reminiscences. He has
accumulated large number Of me-
mentOes Of his famous uncle, which
perhaps may find a permanent home
in the new public library. 1t is the

Numerous inquiries are being made
OF the State Board Of Education rela-
tive TO what the last Legislature meant
10 say when the half-rate bill for pu-
pills was passed. Since the Normal
school lDIpils have been debarred from
the category of public schools" and
paroChial schools have managed to
steer clear of the phrase private
schools" there is a miXup.
Some of the letters from eminent
men say il is absurd to refuse to let
the Normal school pupils have the
benefit Of half-fare on electrics and
steam roads, when the pupils of paro-
Chial schools are permitted that privi-
lege. There are numerous private
schools" whose proprietors claim they
ought to be included in the half-fare
list. II is believed the next Legisla-
ture will be asked to amend the pres
ent law Many protests are flowing
in from parents Of pupils. pupils them
selves, school committees and teach
ers. Principal among the objectors
are the Normal School pupils.

The simplfied spelling movement,
many months before President Roose-
welt had approved the program OF
the simplified spelling board, had
gained among educators strong sup
port. Prior to August | the nine
members Of the New York board Of su-
perintendents had recommended the
shorter forms for the New York
schools, and the board OF education of
Duluth, Mimi, had adopted the same
resolutions.
Moreover, 242 superntendents of
schools, including the state superin-
tendents Of Minnesota, New Mexico
and North Dakota had agreed to use
the shorter forms. This does not in
clude a similar ratification by DR..
Thomas +. Kane, president of the
university of the state of Washing
ton, which exercises certain con
troll over the schools of that state.
Nor does it include more than 200O
heads of great normal schools, prin-
cipals and teachers of whom there are
more than 200 in this city alone
The educational members of the
simpliied spelling board, including city
superintendent William II. Maxwell OF
New York, also are omitted.

The threatened contest over the
will Of the late Russell Sage has been
averted through the good sense OF
the widow of the testator. Ii is hard
TO conceive Of a situation in which Mr.
Sage would have surrendered to what
he regarded as an unjust claim for
money, but Mrs. Sage has acted with
prudence and reason.
The old witticism of where there's
will, there's way-to break it,
stands also as . truth-eXpressing mot
to. 1t is a natural resentment that
looks with disfavor upon the growing
want of respect for the freedom OF
disposition by will. and we may appear
at times to be drifting toward that
state of general scramble for a dead
mans property which, according to
Blackstone, was the reason for the es-
.ablishment CT the will as an institu-
ton.

wallis this year, told me that he con.
sidered F'laherty the best man on the
Washington team.
Tackles-For tackles / nave select
ed Moullen, of Oregon, and Dimick
of Whitman. l have selected Moullen
principally because of his kicking abil-
ity. He was the best part of Ore
CONS scoring machine this year, due to
his ability to kick goals from place
ment Dimick 1 consider the best
tackle in the Northwest. He is heavy
and fast and knows his position thor
oughly. Other tackles worthy of hon.
orable mention are Jarvis, Of Washing
ton; Larson, of Idaho and Armsp1ger
of Oregon.
Bosgs and Chandler, Ends.
Ends.-For ends I have chosen
Capt. Chandler, of Oregon, and young
Boggs, Of Washington. Spagle, of
Whitman, and Moores, of Oregon, are
both sterling players and must be
considered in about the same class as
the men 1 nave mentioned. Both
Chandler and Boggs are fast; they get
down on punts we'll and are deadly
tacklers. If Roggs had a little more
weight he would be in a class by
himself He has played in the high
sol <1ot h. ode
early in the training season and has
to be nursed along carefully or ne
will go stale. Boggs leaves US next to
go to Yale, and if he puts on little
more weight I expect to see him make
the Yale team.
Quarter-For a field general, Owens,
of Willamette, stands all alone in this
section, in my judgment. Had Lau-
tourette, of Oregon, been able to play
out the season he would have been d
worthy competitor of Owens. These
two are the best of the bunch in my
opinion.
Halfbacks.-For halfbacks I have
named Bagshaw captain-elect of the
Washington team, and RAIDER, of Will
lamette. Both are strong, sure play
ers, who know football and can stand
a lot of pounding.
Fullback.-For fullback 1 have Sc
lected Mckinney, of Oregon. He is an
experienced man in the position and
he is a terrific line plunger. He look
ed better to me than any man l saw
playing that position this year. Willis,
of Washington, is strong at carrying
the ball and is a good tackler, but he
is weak at blocking and must remedy
that defect or he will never be a play
er Of the first class.
