PLuCKY WYOMING WOMAN.
Women Are Not Failures as Police Of
fiCials.

The following account of a young
school superintendent cf Wyoming,
taken from the Cheyenne Tribune
proves that women are not failures
as public officials as is claimed by
the opponents of equal suffrage. The
Tribune says:
Miss Alice NJ. Sampson, county su-
pcrintendent of schools, accompanied
bv her father, has just returned from
a trip of inspection of the various
schools in the county. She was absent
six weeks, during which she covered
over 500 miles and endured hardships
which would appall the average young
lady
Each year Miss Sampson attempts
to visit all Of tue schools in her dis
trlct the trip involving a journey of
1900 miles hut this winter she was
unable to do this on account of the
flood in the Platt river, and will visit
number of schools south Of the
Platte river in eastern Laramie coup-
ty later.
Miss SampsonS feat, a thing never
tcfcGe attempted by school superin-
tcndents in Wyoming, proved a severe
one, as many rain and snowstorms
were encountered and the roads werA

OPPOSITION To JUTE
Mill LOOMS UP STRONG
Sack Question Becomes More Serious

he Able TO Undersell the Trust.
Even With Jute at Much Higher
Price Than Last Year.

As the session of the legislature ap-
proaches and the opposition to the
jute mill project looms up more
threateningly, the grain sack question
becomes more and more serious for
Umatilla county farmers.
While there is strong demand for
the jute mill in the Oregon penitenti-
airy. yet the political opposition to the
project and the timidity of the Will
lamette valley legislators who will not
favor the appropriation for fear OF
having some of their own pet appro-
priations cut down, make the PROPOSE
ton extremely doubtful.
Umatilla county will present a solid
front for the jute plant and will be
assisted by other eastern Oregon
counties, hut there is strong opposi-
ton from other parts of the state.
A special from Walla Walla says
of the grain sack situation for the
comeing year:
MANY extensive wheatgrowers of
this locality are becoming uneasy re.
garding the grain bag situation for
the coming season. Calcutta bags are
now selling at 10 cents laid down in
Walla Walla with prospects of ad-
vances. Warden Kincaid in discussing
the question with a correspondent to-
day said:
"The prison iute mills are shut
down for extensive repairs in the ex-
pectation of long run, and 1t is eX-
pected that the 500 bales of jute al.
ready purchased will keep the mill in
operation until the legislature con-
venes and means are devised to util-
ize at least a portion of the s220,0OO
earned by the institution for the pur-
chase of a supply of jute to keep the
mill in operation for the entire sea-
son.
The board of control will meet in
the latter part of January or early in
