Mr.. Grounding awOke before day

from The Statesman last night that
he was expected to put in an appear

clock for a. m.
Faithful little rodent that she was.
she had also arisen early, parted her
whiskers and curled her bushy tail for
wasn't this the biggest day of the
wear, ground hog day, and weren't she
and her marmot hubby gong to see
the big world for the first time since
last summer-and perhaps their shadow

In honor of the great occasion Mrs.
Grounding also opened a can of pre-
served nuts and a box of dessicated
wheat kernels for the holiday break
fast.
Pretty soon all was ready for the ex-
cursion into the big world above
ground. But, alas! No sooner had
the lord and master of the grounding
household pushed his bewhiskered nose
above the surface of the ground than it
was hit by a cold, icy snowflake.
Bhrrhh! this would never do. Some
thing must be wrong. Could it be
possible that The Statesman was mis-
taken when it said the weather would
be fine today?
But the weather man had said SO
too. Both could not be wrong.
So he poked his whole head timidly
above the ground and finally came out
A chilly blast struck through his furry
coat He commanded his spouse to
remain beneath ground while he look
ed for his shadow, which it was said
ought to be above ground today.
He did, not see it nor could he find
it after he had scratched aside all the
snow for foot about tibet top of the
hole.
So he gave it up and determined to
hunt his hole"

Raise of 10 Per Cent.

Raise Of 10 Per Cent.
SEATTLE, Feb. 2.-As soon as the
board of education acting on exhaus-
tive researches made by Superintend-
ent Cooper, concerning teachers sal
aries paid in other cities of the coun-
try, can prepare schedule such as
seems to it's members fair and equit-
able alike to tthe teachers and the tax
paying public of Seattle District No. 1,
it will grant approximating 10 per cent
and possibly going much over that
sum.
1t should be noted that no member
of the board has reached conclusion
as to what the increase should be, but
it can be said safely that the board
members, after consulting informally
on the question. have privately express
sed their belief that the Seattle teach
ers are entitled to more money for
their labors.
At yesterdays meeting of the school
board a number of tables of statistics
were filed, showing the maximum and
minimum of salarines paid in various
high schools of the country, compared
with the rate Of wages prevailing here.
This brought the matter officially to
the attention of the school board, in

out of the uncertainties of the future a vision of d numerous people without a central city, on the banks of the great river, as permanent and essential part of such civilization as may finally come.
 Just what particular locality the city will be, if ever at all, may depend on good many things, some of them more or less trivial The first point to be touched by a railway, however, will be given such an impetus that the city of the future may take permanent root there. If the Panama Valley Railway people build to Rampant they will have their line in a pay belt nearly the entire length and will hold the key to all the producing country in the whole region between this place and the high range. They will have river terminal grounds probably superior to all others. It looks like they will build here. And if they do, this place will stand to be of great importance perhaps as long as the t,r.i tory cuts q figure in the activities of the world.
