scarlet fever in a mild form mace us
appearance in the town and IN the
country neighborhoods. The health
authorities took the matter in hano
at once, and a rigid quarantine was
inaugurated.
Last week it was thought that the
school could be opened, but two ne"
cases developed, and the directors act
ing with the health officials decided to
keen the school closed for anotner
week. This action proved to be wise
one for the cases have diminished
until at the present time there are but
one or two homes in quarantine.
The quarantine restrictions. coming
as they did in the holiday season, al
fected business in Athena to a con
siderable extent, but business men
generally realized that the only true
and effective method to be enforced In
stamping out the disease was through
quarantine regulations, and no com
plant was made whatever.

There are between 100000 and $780,
900 young men of the very best char
acter drilling and being instructed in
uniform rank companies. and this in
struction consists Of great many
varieties of drill regulations which are
of practically no use to the man in
after life, or in case of his being
called upon to defend his country
states Major Case. "While he in a
measure may gain some local knOwl-
edge of a military formation, ETC., how
much better and more profitable would
it be for him to spend his time and
efforts in the equipment and knowledge
of the drill regulations of the United
States army which would be in after
life of practical service to him. Should
the United States military drill regu-
lations be adopted by all of the frater-
nal military organizations in the nation
and annex to these drill regulations
few brief instructions in the manner
of military courtesy, discipline and
manual of camp life. that in itself
would be of inestimable value to the
government.
This plan might be promulgated by
the war department., first by adj
dressing a communication to all senior
commanding officers of the many fra
ternal organizations, getting an ex-
preston from them looking forward
to a national gathering of representa-
tives of the different organizations,
at which time the government might
be represented and the plan then dis

Commercial Club Members Lax 10
Accepting Invitations
MILES c. MOORE TO Be POSTMASTER
LIST OF SPEAKERS NOT YET AR
RANoED-ExcELLENT MU-
sicAL PROGRAM READY

Preparations are moving slowly for
the Commercial club banquet, Tuesday
evening next.
But 80 postals had been received up
to this morning from members of the
club here accepting the invitation.
Owing to the absence of the major
ity of the entertainment committee
from the city no definite program of
speakers mas been arrenged as yet. 1t
is probable that Miles c. Moore will
act as POSTMASTER. Plenty of excel
lent music has been arranged for in
Guiding some vocal solos: a quartette
from the Whitman college glee club
and the Nicholson stringed orches-
ira.
Rogers and Hoswell will do the ca
tering for the banquet. A splendid
menu is being arranged.
Secretary Moore received letter
from the secretary of the Pendleton
club this morning saying that be-
cause of the absence of the president
from the city it was impossible to tell
just yet how many would come over
from that city.
The invitation committee of the club
here is very anxious that all those
who will be present should send in
their acceptance at once, in order that
the arrangement committee may know
just how many to figure on.
It is thought that at least 100 visit
ors from Oregon will be present al
though it will probably not be possible
to tell exactly until just before the
day Of the banquet.

Great Northern Plans Change In
The Cascades.
JAMES ]. HILL MAKES Announcement
ExpFND ENORMOUS AMOUNTS so
ROAD MAY HANDLE IN
cREAslNG BUSINESS.

A task more .stupendOuS than the
building of the Panama canal is the
way James j. Hill sizes up the remedy
of the transportation problem now con-
fronting the country. To meet the sit
uation, the Great Northern is prepared
to spend enormous amounts of money.
Every factor contributing to conges-
ton or delay has been carefully
weighed and plans made to improve
the service.
AS an instance, Mr.. Hill, discussing
the eastbOund lumber traffic from the
coast with the. Mississippi Valley
Lumberman, cites the Cascade tunnel.
through which all such shipments must
pass There is a difference of 265 feet
in grade between the two ends Of the
there have been long delays and losses
of life through the accumulation Of
smoke and gases from locomotives.
Mr.. Hill announces that the long
talked-of plan to operate the tunnel
with electric power is already close to
realization, the road now having in
the course of construction two large
electric locomotives to pull trains
through the mountain. This will per-
NIT one train to follow another close
ly something which was never posi-
BILE with coalburners.
Knew It Was Coming.
But Mr.. Hill says an Improvement
of this sort is merely local and does
not bear particularly on the broader
problem of equipping the roads Of the
country to handle the traffic.
Il have known that the present sit
uation was coming for the past five
years; yes, and longer than that time,
but I did not expect that it would de-
velop so rapidly" was his comment.
There has been no problem of great
er Importance since the civil war. The
progress and prosperity of the country
is delayed and restricted by the ina
bility of the railroads to handle the
immense increase in the volume of
traffic 1t will require patience, time
and labor. 1t must have grave con-
sideration
Il wish tnh government had the
railroads for about 30 days. There
is not a government department which
has yet been operated without fraud.
Where will the government get the
money to carry out the work which
confronts the railroads? Five billion
and a half dollars will only bring them
to the comparative efficiency for nam
ding the present volume of traffic, that
they were in 1870. There are not roll
ing mills enough to produce the rails;
not men enough to build the roads.
And you must remember it requires
more work and more money to build
the character of trackage now requir-
ed, that is in widening roadbeds, cut
ting down grades. Strengthening curves
AMI all that goes with the building of
terminals and increasing of track ca
capacity"

State Superintendent Of Schools Bryan
Gives Opinion on Two Most I'm.
portant: Questions.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1.-THE following
questions have been submitted to State
Superintendent of Schools Bryan:
First. In case pupils are absent from
school for sickness or other reasons
and subsequently make up in school
hours or out Of school hours the reel
tations missed, is it lawful to count
such pupils present and to claim at
tendance therefor?
Second. A pupil is excused from
final examinations and promoted to the
next grade on his terms work. By
reason Of being excused from such ex-
animation he is excused from attend
ance for two or three days during the
last week of the school term. Is is
lawful to count such pupil present and
to claim attendance therefor?
Both of these questions" Br. Bry-
an replies "can be answered definitely
and unqualifiedly in the negative. If
the pupil is not present in the school
room at least one hour during each
half days session, he cannot under
any circumstances be marked present
for the purpose of apportioning school
funds. There is no such thing as con-
structive attendance under any cir
cumstances whatever. In this con-
nectiOn 1 wish to call the attention Of
