Upon the subject Of special district
school taxes County Superintendent
Weles has written a circular letter
to the various school boards OF the
county. 1t is as follows:
Gentlemen: So many Inquiries
have been received from school Of
ficers within the past few weeks, rel
ative to the time and manner of vot-
ing special district taxes, that 1 deem
II best to send this information to all
districts. \ short time ago the coun-
~ clerk sent a statement to your
clerk showing the assessed valuation
Of the taxable property in your dis
triCt. If you have not yet voted a spe-
cial tax this year and wish to do SO,
in order to have the tax money to use
next year, it will be necessary to call
a special school meeting soon. as the
notice of the number of mills levied
must reach the county clerk on or
before the first day of January 1
have just sent your clerk blank no.
tices for calling the meeting.
If you wish TO use the money for
buying fuel and supplies for the
school. as well as for other purposes.
I would suggest that your notices read
something like this: ITO vote on the
proposition of levying q tax for the
necessary expenses of the district"
Money so raised may be used by you
for fuel for repairs, for clerks or
teachers salary, or for any other nee
essary purpose.
An important opinion has been
given out by the attorney general to
the effect that in districts enumerat-
ing less than 200 children. persons
who are qualified to vote for school
officers are also qualified to vote at
tax meetings, whether they are tax
payers or not.
Last year the school districts of the
county did splendidly in the matter
of raising additional revenue for the
schools. \ majority of the districts
voted special taxes. there being an IN
crease of more than 40 per cent over
the number of levies during the pre-
yicus year. The larger city districts
made special levies as follows: Athena
Is mills. Pendleton - mills, Echo 12.
Weston II, Milton 10, Adams I, and
Heliv 8 mills. In the country dis
tricts the levies ranged from l to Is
mills.
Please call the attention of the
other directors Of your district 20 this
letter. Very truly yours,
FRANK X. WELLES,
Superintendent Umatilla County.

BOSTON PAPER OF 1870.
Published Before Rcvomtion-Roasts
English SOldicry.

IE the collection of curios i'm the
large window of Raiders store is an
old paper that has attracted much at
tention. 1t is a copy of the Boston
Gazette and Country Journal of Mon
day March II, 1770. 1t is over 1856
years old and though it shows the
stains of time is still very legible.
That the press even of that early
time was not under the domination
ot the government is shown by the
fact that its principal story is antag-
onis'ic to the English crown. It is
story regarding a massacre upon the
streets Of Boston and is very severe
roast for the soldery.
The paper is the property OF F. NJ.
Edwards, of West Bluff street.

not sleep we'll at night. my food
seemed to do me no good. and I was so
weak I could scarcely walk across the
room.
1.-THE doctor said my condition was
due to overwork and close confinement
and that he very much feared that
consumption would set in. For several
months took one kind OF medicine
after another, but with no good effect
in fact. I seemed to grow worse.
-"Then I determined to quit all medi-
cines. give up coffee and see what
Grape Nuts food would do for me. I
began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar
and cream and bread and butter three
times a day.
1.-The effect was surprising! I began
to gain flesh and strength forthwith,
my nerves cuieted down and grew nor
mally steady and sound. sweet sleep
came back to me. In six weeks time

DYNAMITE EXPLODED.
Two Italians Injured While Working
on the Pipe Line at Manchester.

Two Italian laborcrs were injured
while at work on the Augusta Water
District pipeline Thursday forenoon,
and one of the unfortunate men will
be badly crippled for life. according to
the attending physician.
The man most seriously injured is
Tony Asgeo and is known as No. pa
He was using sharp pick in the eXca-
walton Of a roadway, when suddenly
his mate heard terrific explosion. AZ
ter the dense smoke cleared away, the
other labOrerS hurried over to where
he had been at work. and the man was
found to be seriously injured. It ap-
pears that while at work among the
rocks on the highway. the point of the
mans pick struck a stray stick of frnz-
en- dynamite. The stick exploded and
not only seriously injured the man. but
another laborer who was at work near
him.
A physician was hastily summoned
from Augusta. and Plummer's ambu-
lance brought the most seriously iniur-
ed Of the men to the city and later to
the City hospital. The mans eyes were
badly injured and he sustained a COM
pound fracture of the right leg. The
other Italian was quite seriously injur-
ed. but he received treatment at the
camp, and was not brought to the hos
pital.
1t was reported at the City hospital
last evening. that the man was resting
as comfortably as could be expected
and that he would probably survive his
| terrible injuries.

TO r. F. D. PATRONS.
A Few Suggestions Whereby They
May Help the Service.

Here are a few suggestions from q
country postmaster, w. w. Williams
Jeffersonville, Ohio, well worthy the
attention of all patrons of the rural
free delivery service.
l. You will be doing your carrier a
great service if you will stamp all
your mail before putting same in box
either by putting on the ordinary
stamps, or better yet use the govern
ment stamped envelopes with your
name written upon upper left-hand
corner. This will guarantee delivery
or return of the letter.
=. In case you should not happen to
have either stamps or stamped enve-
lo:c. wrap the necessary amount up
and fasten to letter in some good
manner, remembering that in cold
weather if the money is put in the box
loose the carrier has to take off his
gloves or mittens to get hold of these
loose pennies.
3. In addressing your letters do not
write above the middle of the envelope
because the letter has to be plainly
post-marked and the address may be
partly blurred by being struck with
the post marking stamp.
4. In your addressing your letter to
a visitor or someone who is not a
regular patron of a rural route or
post office. you will be helping the
service by marking on the envelope
in whose care the letter or package
should go.
5. If You have visitors who are ex-
pecting mail, kindly give the carrier
their names by putting slip in box
notifying him of same.
Z. In regard to boxes help your car
rier by having a good one in a good
easy place to drive up to, and oil the
hinges occasionally.
8. Mail boxes are protected by the
government. Any tampering with
them by any one not interested should
be reported at once to your postmas-
ter whose duty it is to report the mat
ter at once to the Department.
.. Anything deposited in the boxes is
counted as mail matter" and is sub
ject to ordinary postage rates.
10. All packages should be we'll
wrapped and securely tied, and valu-
able letters and packages should be
registered.

From a report which was going the
rounds Thursday morning. one Of the
Augusta physicians is the victim Of a
joke. and apparently because of his
absent mindedneSs. According to the
story he had occasion to hitch his horse
on Commercial street during Thursday
evening. and when he went to his
home. forgot the team that was wait
ing for his return. and walked home.
The horse had a blanket on. and prob
ably did not suffer to any great extent.
but his presence was not noticed until
some one went out Of the rear door Of
the Cory House at about 3 o'clock
Thursday morning, and found the team
still waiting for the owner. The horse
WAS taken to q stable. and it is prob
able that the last hours of the night
were much more to his liking than the
first had been. Just what the doctor
said when the matter was mentioned to
MIN has not been stated

1t is reported that young man has
visited some of the houses in the city
for the purpose Of getting young ladies'
to take down their hair for him, SO that
he may measure it. The reason given
for the request is that he is making
preparations for an entertainment to
be given in February. and is desiring
of getting young ladies' to appear in
tab!eaux. An instance of a similar ma
ture was reported from Gardiner about
a year ago. and also several years ago
from other sections Of the State. in one
of which the young man is said to have
stated that he intended to open a hair
store. and engaged several young
women to come to the store on a GER
tain day in order to exhibit their
tresses. and that although they ap-
peared on the day in question. the store
was not open. and they found them
selves the victims of misplaced conf
dence. 1t may he that the instance
mentioned above is a parallel case.
