By the special apportionment of
school money which County Superin-
tendent Welles has just made, $685.
673.07 is divided among the SO dis
tricts of the county. This is the larg-
est apportionment that has ever been
made in the history of the county, and
the money will be warmly welcomed
by the different schools.
There are several reasons for the
large apportionment this spring. This
is the first time since the new tax law
has been in force that the o. R. & N.
Co. has paid its taxes on time. BY
paying on time this year they added
$4,000 to the usual amount collected
in the spring.
Another reason for the abundance
Of money is that when the tax levy
was computed this year allowance
was made for tax abatements, which
always occur and cut down the
amounts received from taxes. In the
past no attention has been taken of
prospective abatements, and conse-
less has Dtch ltCVlNOo
than was anticipated from the levy.

THE OREGON IN DRY DOCK.
Seven Hundred of the Crew Discharg
ed for 4 Year.

Rremerton, April 1.-THE battle
ship Oregon, Captain Merrill, arriv-
ed here this morning. after a pleasant
trip from San Francisco. making the
run in II hours She was tied along
side the dry dock, and as soon as pos
sible will be placed in the immense
cradle to undergo repairs. These will
be extensive, costing, 1t is said, near
ly s1,000,000. The battleship will be
out of commission at least a year.
At San Francisco 500 men were dis
charged, and 200 more will be retired
here.
The story that her crew smuggled
$750,00O worth of goods which they
procured in the orient the officers of
the vessel claim is absurd. The re-
port originated, they say, from the
fact that the sailors and gunners
brought over relics which they sent
to their friends in this country.
The Oregon has not been on a dry
dock since she was in Hongkong, and
her bottom is in bad shape. Her CON-
ing means a great deal TO the hun
dreds of workmen who have been en-
ploye1 at the navy yard. some OF
whom have been laid off for lack OF
work.

RECRUDEsCENT swAKHASIMER.
The Ethiopian Joke Is at Large in the
Yakima Country.

The Right Rev. Swakhammer, of
Ethiopian extraction, whose presence
in this valley for the past three
months has been one of the passing
jokes, attempted Monday night to de-
liver a lecture at school house near
Tampico, according to the Yakima
Republic.
During the course of his remarks
some man walked in the school room
and sat down with his hat on. Swak-
hammer Immediately became indig-
nant. and told the man to remove his
hat. This precipitated trouble, and in
few minutes the colored lecturers
meeting was broken up. The school
house was stoned and Swakhammer
was forced to get out the back way
in order to avoid bodily injury. He
has complained to the prosecuting at
torney. Judging from his past ex-
periences in this valley the colored
man would probably be safer out Of
Yakima county.
