SCHOOL
BOARD
ALSO

Editor Journal:-I see by the
papers that the Oregon Sienna Paint
Company has enjoined the State Fair
Board from proceeding with the
painting on those buildings because
the bidding and letting OF the con-
tract was irregular. Now this kind
of a thing might be all right, but
why isn't Il passed down the line.
The Salem school board recently ad-
vertlsed for bids for painting some
buildings, and then the repairs COM
mittee, to whom they were referred,
rejected them all, when the commit
tee employed Mr.. Southwick to draft
new specifications for the painting.
When this was done few bids were
received privately, and finally the
job was given out for higher price
than the lowest original bid. II Is
stated that not as much work will
be d me as was at first demanded and
bid upon. IL the state fair board
should be enjoined, why not give
the school district little of the same
kind OF medicine? The fair build
ings ought to be painted, and that
right away. as they are new, while
the school houses could wait for sew
eral weeks or months without any
great harm. Why this rush TO force
the school jobs at fancy prices, and
then retard the fair grounds job. 10
the detriment of the buildings? Pos
sibly both jobs ought to be stopped.
supposed that the school board had
woke up since its refusal to pay for
a cement job that was illegally let,
but this begins to look as though our
school treasury, as well as the state
fair funds. were matters for public
jobs. II seems that there are jobs
and jobs. but these things would try
the patience of JOB.

SUBSCRlPTlON..-s5.00 PER ANNvm
JOHN D. ROQUEFEUlLLE.

We congratulate Monsieur lie
Baron Roquefeuille as he sits in
his ancestral hall near the accent
French city of Rennes. Bending
his naughty old head, putting truth
before pride of place, the baron
admits his relationship to John
D. Rockefeller"
The "turrible secret" has been
kept for years. But the third annual
dinner of John DIS American rela-
tives has dragged his skeleton from
the baronial closet. Rockefeller
was originally "Roquefeuille." The
progenitors of the proud nobleman
at Rennes and of the humble CON-
moner at rs Broadway are the
same.
In admitting the tie with his
simple old American cousin the
baron shows the condescension of
true greatness. Even naughty
Europe must admit the supreme
self-abnegation of a titled aristocrat
who recognizes a plebeian relative
with only $2oO,ooo,o0o or $3oo,ooo,-
900 to recommend him.

Congress fixed arbitrarily the cost

Of canal bonds to the extent of ST.
100000 If we find that the estimate
Of $32,000,000 made by the commission
for continuing the work Of construc-
ton through the next fiscal year is
correct We shall unhesitatingly grant
it. If We grant that sum then the
actual cost of the canal to July l.,
1909, will be $1O5, 100000, or 33,O0O,-
900 short Of the original cost Of con-
struction, exclusive Of the $40,0O0,OO0
we paid to the new Panama Canal
company for it's property and fran.
chise rights and $1O,000,000 to the re-
public of Colombia for our franchise.
I estimate that the total cost of con-
struction will be not less than $780,

us in actual cash $3O0,000,000."

MuT|NY At VLAON0ST0k
Several Persons Killed Before
Outbreak Is Subdued.

Vladtvostok, Nov. "a naval bat
tie took place IN this harbor between
the mutinous crew of Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer and their loyal
comrades. The mutineers were sub
dued, but not before a number had
been killed or wounded.
The mutinous boat is the Skory
and she gave fight to the gunboat
Mandschur, the destroyers Garsovoz,
Smelly and Serditz and the garrison of
one Of the forts.
The Skory was beached to save
her from sinking after her guns had
done considerable damage and sew
eral officers and men of the other
ships had been killed or wounded.
The crew of the Skory were melted
by agdtators, including some Jews,
who had managed to get on board and
take charge Of the destroyer.
She steamed out into the harbor
with the red flag flying and at once
opened fire on the town and forts. A
gunboat and three desi:royers went out
to engage her.
With the aid Of the forts they soon
mad the Skory rfddledl and helpless.
Sne then was beached. Those mem
Ders OF the crew who had not been
Killed or injured were. arrested by
soldiers.
Among the men killed are Captain
hurosch, commander Of the torpedo
boat Ravy, and Lieutenan Stoer, COM
mander Of the skory; Lie utenant Vas

wounded.

.NEARS NORMAL BASIS
Financial Situation Continues to
Readjust Itself.
BANK RUNS ABOUT ENDED
Restoration Of Public Confidence IL
Apparent by Absence Of Withdraw.
als-Stock Market Fluctuations Not
Out Of the Ordinary.

Now York, Nov. The restoration
Of public confidence is indicated by
the diminished interest taken in the
financial situation, which continues to
roadjust itself to normal basis. The
gold engagements have been increased
by $1,500,000, bringing the total up to
$2S,750,0O0. The Bank of England's
increase of the bank rate to 51a per
cent was fully expected and was even
better than expected, as the advance
was to 6 per cent last year, when the
Bank of England protected its gold
stock against Withdrawals from the
United States.
The stock market fluctuations did
not differ materially from those Of
ordinary times. The market in gen
eral was very strong. Several of the
banking institutions which have ex-
perienced recent difficulty held meet
ings to readjust their affairs and re-
sumo business and the few runs
which have been going on dwindled
to practical close.
The enormous extent to which in
vestment buyers are taking advan-
tage Of the declines in the prices of
stocks to buy up small lots was indi-
Gated by the estimate of competent
authorities that investment buyers
have taken 100000 shares Of stock
out of the market within the last ten
days. The average value is estimated
at $50 a share, making total invest
ment of $1Oo,00O,0O0. This investment
Is believed to be going on at the rate
Of $10,000,o00 day and financial au-
thorities say it is affording much re-
lief to the money market. Bankers
are facilitating the movement in every
way possible and from morning until
night stock exchange messengers
stand in line at the transfer Office
with certificates to be split into odd
lots and divided among many small
buyers.
