The erratic movement Of Bank of
Washington stock which jumped from

strongly that the block which was
pressing for sale last week have been
either quietly garnered or had been
withdrawn from sale The former
theory seems the more plausible one
and is the view taken by the majority
Of the brokers. On the balance of the
bank list American received some at

very good public highways, except
from the Applsgate valley into this
city.
Superintendent Savage WAS pleased
to note among the various schools that
the average attendance was much bet
ter than during former years at the
corresponding season. He found
that for the most part they were doing
good work. He will continue to go
the rounds of the schools of the county
paying each one visit of inspec-
tion aud taking notice of the work
that is being accomplished.

W0MENS WOES
Grants Pc ss Women a re Finding
Relief at Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share Of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity: they
must keep up, must attend to duties
in spite Of constantly aching backs,
or headsces, dizzy spells, bearing
down Pains; they must stoop over,
when to stoop means torture. They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ Of the
body. Keep the kideys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of
a remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endorsed
by people you know.
Mrs. K. K. Veatoh, N. Fifth st.
Grants Pass, Ore, says: For long
time had been troubled from kidney
complaint and rhematism. Pains in
my back. hips and limbs caused me
much misery and l constantly lost
great deal of rest at night, arising in
the morning, tired and unrefreshed.
After trying several remedies without
relief, I heard about Dosn's Kidney
Pills and procured a box at Clemens
drug store. At the time l had taken
the contents of this box. my
health was greatly improved. l con.
tinued their use and am glad to say

County Sch ool News Items.

Owing to the illness Of her husband,
who is laid up with an attack Of
typhoid fever, Mrs. IDA Swacker,
teacher of the Centennial school,
District No. 2S, has closed her school
for . cople of weeks, 40 that she might
look after his comfort.
The Kerby school is the only one in
Josephine county, outside of the
county seat that has class in the
Ninth Grade, this year. The work is
being carried on quite successfully
under the tutelage of Miss Cora
Smith, the very efficient teacher
Selma boasted of doing work of this
kind, bot failed to have any pupils
in that grade.
Superintendent Ssvsge's determi-
nation to put stop to the teachers
missing the annual institute, by
giving all those who remained away
from the last gathering demerit
marks, has stirred up things and
those teachers are now quite sorry
they did not comply with the law
which is very explicit in stating they
must attend such sessions.
The books for the different school
libraries. throughout this country
have arrived and Superinte ndent Saw.
age is now checking them up and the
officers of the districts may now send
for them. There are 700 volumes
in all. The sum of 10 cents per child

for additional books and Grants Pass
also gave some additional.

Superintendent Savage has been
busily engaged in sending out the
customary notices to the various
school districts, calling the attention
of the boards to the matter of the
attending to the special school tax
levy, if they may desslre to place any.
In reply to numerous inquiries re-
ceived from many sections of the
state, Attorney General Crawford has
given an opinion in which he gives an
Interpretation of the act providing
for the annual school district tax
levy, holding that district may
hold an election at any time during
the year and vote the tax or the
actions taken at the first election may
be rescinded ct subsequent election
and new rate Of levy made, providr
ing the notice of change is in the
hands Of the County Clerk prior TO
Jnsuary in order that the correction
may be made and the levy extended
upon the tax roll. ''No time is srbi-
trarily fixed for school district to
hold an election for voting taxes,
says the Attorney. General in the
opinion which is addressed to District
Attorney q. W. Phelps, of Pendleton.
1t can be held at any time providing
it does so in time to notify the County
Clerk prior to January l. Under the
general rule that the power which
creates can destroy or undo the school
district has the right under the law to
rescind the vote if, in the opinion of
the majority Of the voters, it is con.
siderbaed for the best interests Of the
district. After the meeting certified
copy Of the record had with the notice
of the new levy would be sufficient
for the County Clerk to disregard the
first notice and act upon the record.
