Sunday approaches and with it the
great walk concerning which there has
been so much talk, the contest between
Charlie Lambert, Matt Heffern and a
score of others, the latest of which is
said to be Pop Lewis of Lovejoy & Co.,
who intends to cop the Methusaleh
prize.
The public has been wondering why
Mr.. Lewis has been getting up so early
of morning recently and thought at
first that he was taking the Kneipp

dewy grass, but it would appear that

Conference, the Chamber of Commerce

REVENUE CUTTER.

REVENUE CUTTER.
Persistent efforts have been made by
this Chamber to obtain an appropria-
ton from Congress for the building
and equipment of a Revenue cutter TO
be stationed permanently in these wa

For four years past, this appropria-
ton has beten recommended by the
Treasury Department but has failed of

our effort to secure a Revenue Cutter,

has shown how necessary it is to have
such a vessel stationed here.

may file one or the other of two
statements. Statement No. l sets
forth that if elected he will vote for
the candidate for senator receiving
the highest popular vote at the gem

amounts TO declaration that If
elected he will use his own judgment
in the matter. or that he will vote for
the senatorial candidate of his own

any constitutional objection, because

not sign either statement if he does

PECULIAR POLITICAL CONDITION

The political situation in Oregon,
with regard to the United States SEN
atorship, is peculiar, A majority of
the candidates nominated to the leg
islature at the recent primaries had
signed Statement No. L, by which
they bound themselves TO vote for the
popular choice for the senatorship.
At the same primaries the Demo-
cratic choice for senator was Gov
ernor Chamberlain, and the Republic
can choice, II. NJ Cake.
The election occurs in Oregon next
month, when members of the legisla-
ture will be chosen. And at the same
time there Will be a popular vote for
United States senator, of course not
legally binding ON the legislature, but
fully expressive of the choice of the
electors.
There seems to be no doubt that
the Republicans will have a majority
of the legislature on joint ballot. but
Chamberlain is exceedingly popular
and may receive more votes at the
general election than Cake, his Re
publican opponent. In that event
through the pledge embodied il
Statement No. /, majority of the
legislature would he in honor bound
TO vote for Chamberlain, the Demo
crat, although on a strictly part,
vote Cake would win.
Statement No. / has thus become
very embarrassing to the Republican
party in Oregon, for apparently Il
will result in loss of the senatorshiI
to the party, yet with Republicans in
control OF the legislature.
Statement No. calls for some lit
tie explanation. The law of that
state does not require a candidate for
the legislature to pledge himself to
be governed by the popular choice
for the senatorship, as expressed at
the polls. The law is merely per-
missive. II says that In filing his

Pedagogical Pebbles

The school year 1907-8 is ended
for the Grangeville Schools, Pupils
and teachers are scattered to the four
winds. We had no Commence
ment Exercises because we had no
graduation class. When the school
board last September decided to add a
fourth year to the high school course,
those who were in the most advanced
class, eleventh year class, became
Juniors and not seniors, and must take
another year work before they can
complete the heightened course. The
better high schools of this and other
states maintain four years course
and our board took a step in the right
direction when they added year.
There are many other things to be
placed in our schools if we wish to
keep it abreast of the times and equal
to other first class schools. The
board recognizes this and is planning
to improve as fast as possible. The
latest step is to order complete
equipment for physical. and chemical
labratory at an expense of several
hundred dollars. This will be sent
for at once in order to be on hand
and ready for next September.
Another good move was to employ
the janitor for two of the summer
months. This time will be used in
cleaning, repairing and improving the
furniture, building and grounds. Now
is the time to prepare for next years
improvement and success and our
board is both alive and progressive.
The enrolment for the past year
was 40, 225 boys and '245l girls.
The average daily attendance was $50.
OF this number 307 made pass marks
sufficient to place them in next years
class, in other words were promoted.
That is only e failed who were any
thing like regular in attendance.
Because of epidemics, diphtheria ane
measles, only seven students were able
to be present every day. We give
their names as follows, Esther fletcher

Munro and Ernest DeHaven, 8tl
