LIFT
To In Educational Board Followed by

simultaneously with the
ment by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., OF
the proposed gift by his father of the
amount named just above. t. the Gen
eral Education Board, came the No.
tice to the oil dealers and consumers
all over the country OF an advance ! II
the price of oil which would net the
great Standard Oil company about
$40, 900 900 additional in a single year.
AS John D. Rockefeller will get tn
greater part of this increased revenue,
it can be e that it will not be long
before the general public viii haTr
made up to him the entire amount Of
his gift. 1t is estimated, from he
figures at hand, that fully S12, 400, OUr
of the additional annual tax must
come from the humble homes of the
working class using oil as an illumi-
nation and for oil stoves.
Notice of the advance in the price
of Standard Oil products were received
by dealers on Thursday, the same day
announcement of the great gift was
made. Although the advance quoted
to wholesalers is One-half cent a gal
lon on oil for domestic use, the public
will actually pay the Rockefeller mono

Hitting the RulI's Eye.

The Derham Herald generally MI
the nail on the head when it speak.
out in meeting. For instance, il says:
There could, perhaps, be nothing
wrong in the legislative committee re
quiring those who appear before them
to give their evidence under oath, but
when this had not been required, %
stop a man in the middle Of his story
n require him to swear to certain
statements was to intimate a doubt as
to his truthfulness, and among gentle
men this would be construed as a dis
courtesy
That is the point exactly. II was
proper, of course, to swear the wit
neSses, but when somebody had blum
dered in that respect it was discOur-
teOuS to swear one juSt after he had
made a statement which somebody did
not believe. The word OF a gentleman
is supposed &c be the truth whether &c
is under oath or not. The proceeding
was unfortunate because it left a bad
impression on the public, and outside
of the state the criticism was not cal
culated to lift North CarOlinianS high
in estimation Of those who Tead Of
the affair. But the Herald speaks So
ably and so eloquently that we shall
regard its u~tterance as the final brieI.

The Panama Canal as an Investment

The practical efficiency of our navy
for purposes OF the defense Of our
coast will naturally be greatly en-
hanced when the canal Is completed.
The standard estimates of the cost OF
the canal have been, In round figures,
something less than 5000, 900. 900. Even
il it should cost 100000, 900, the &C.
tual outlay of the taxpayers of the
United States would be the interest
charge upon this sum. which at per
cent would be $12.000,000 year. The
navy has cost us In round figures. for
some years past more than 100000
900 every year. II Is not difficult to
reach the conclusion that the canal
will prove an economical investment
from the standpoint Of coast defense.
In other words, we shall be able to
save much more than the interest on
the canal bonds from the naval ap-
preparations we should be Obliged to
make in future If we were not to have
the use of the canal. Thus, il no rev.
enue could be expected from the COM
mercial use of the waterway, the canal
would probably pay as well us de-
fensive investment. But there Is
very fair chance that the canal may
earn enough from merchant ships to
pay interest upon its total cost. The
Suez canal is very profitable.-From

Natatorium Park-Spokane.

The week commencing Monday. Au-

finest attractions of the year at Nata-

comes the Golden West Amusement
company with list of attractions that
promises the funlovers their money s
worth.
In addition, the last three days of
the week will see the Pacific North
vest Sangerbund, including its repre-
sentatiyes from the towns of Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
British Columbia, giving its sanger
fest at the park.
The choruses under the direction OF
Professor Magnus Olson, one of the
most talented directors of the west
will be supplemented by a band OF
over 60 pieces. In the open air con
certs 1t Is estimated that over COO
voices will take part. and IL the esti-
mates of the officers of the Sanger.
bund are anywhere near correct there
may be, over 5000 people here to listen
to the festival Of music.
Manager Petrich says one night will
be set apart for confetti throwing and
amusements incidental to 1t, but on
no other evening will this be allowed
In the park.
Shooting the chutes proves one of
the most attractive features with the
large crowds that nightly attend the
park.
The scenic productions in the diff
ferent departments never fail to win
popularity.
The "Old Mill" is another feature
that proves intensely popular. The
moving pictures and the bicycle and
trapese performers on the tight wire
attract the attention of the crowds
that are not enjoying the other forms
of amusement.
Probably the dancing pavilion with
its fine floor and excellent music
proves attractive to more people than
does any one of the other forms of
amusement.
