Stsrling at Carmel-by-the- Sea, q colony of artists and writers on the Pacific Ocean, below Monterey. No reason Is assigned for the suicidal act and her friends seek In vain for some explanation for the impulse which prompted her to take her life in such a sudden and tragic manner.
 Miss French enjoyed good health, and her life, to all appearances, ran smoothly, giving every promise of 2 brilliant career.
 For some years past. she had been 2 contributors to various coast magazines and some of her verses and prose have found their way into Eastern publica- tions. Miss French was "A years of age.

Origin Of National Motto.

We are indie bted to John Adams for
our national motto: "E Pluribus
Unum.'' While he was minister to
England Sir John Prestwick suggest.
ed it to MIR. Adams as q good motto
to indicate the union OF the colonies.
1t was submitted to congress in June,
1882. The eagle of the great seal
bears ia its beak a ribbon on which is
the motto. Ia the early days OF its
use the eagle bore also in its talons q
bundle OF l3 arrows, but when, in lS4l,
q new seal was made to take the place
Of the old one which had become worn,
only six arrows were placed In the
talons. Whether this change was Or
dered by law or not is not known.
The old Latin motto was in use in
England as far back as 1880 on the
Gentleman's magazine.

additional xation-is necessary.
At the present time, the high school
course prescribed by the state board
OF education is being taught in the
Chinook, Havre and Fort Benton pub.
lie schools, and will soon be adopted
in the Harlem district. In each case
the expense of these superior educa.
tional facilities is borne by the tax.
payers of the district in which they
are provided. They get the benefit,
and pay what it costs. The taxpayers
of other districts are not required to
contribute a cent. Should a county
high school be established, however,
it would be maintained by a tax levy
upon real and personal property in
every part of Chouteau county.
A most unjust feature of the propo-
sition would be that the taxpayers of
some localities would be compelled to
pay the cost of maintaining two high
school institutions. In case the voters
should favor the location of q county
high school at Fort Benton which is
not q candidate for that honor, the
tsxpayersjofIthe Chinook and Havre
districts would be compelled to pay
their share of the cost of it's establish.
ment and maintenance, in addition to
defraying the expense of their own
high school facilities. The imposi.
ton of such a)burden would be indie.
fensible, although permitted by the
provisions Of the new high school
law.
The average taxpayer, unfortunate
", is sometimes Indifferent to these
matters until it is too late to protect
himself. He fails to 60 to the polls
on election day, and takes very little
interest in the proceedings until his
tax notice informs him that he must
dig up a larger contribution TO the
public treasury. Then be cusses pub
lie officials instead OF kicking himself
for not going to the polls and prevent.
ing the exaction of greater tribute.
An example OF this apathy among
taxpayers appears in the returns of
q special election recently held in
Missoula county, to vote upon q bond
issue OIL $4,000 for the purpose Of
providing funds for the erection Of a
high schoolsbuilding. There are '
5000 registered voters in Missoula
county, but so few of them went to the
polls that the proposed bond issue
was authorized by only 443 voters.
BY this small vote the people of Mis-.
soula county have incurred an in.
d%ebtedness which, in the payment of
interest and principal, will extract
over $3.50, 900 from the pockets OF the
taxpayers.
Chouteau county has about the same
assessment as Missoula county, and
will be confronted by a similar situa.
ton ii its taxpayers are SO negligent
of their own interests as to leave
these matters in the hands OF a small
minority Of voters. Every owner OF
taxable property should go. to the
polls on July E and say whether he is
for or against a proposition that will
increase his tax burden.
