A BOY
EARNS PROMOTION
Joseph Teacher Rewarded by Admiring
Trustees With Principaship.

JOSEPH Ore. April 3.-The Board
of Directors Of the Joseph public
schools has elected Aubrey c. Smith,
now assistant principal of the Joseph
schools, to be principal the coming
year.
Mr.. Smith recently gave an uni uly
boy thrashing that caused complaint
to be made against him. but the school
board investigated the affair fully and
sustained the teacher unanimously, and
his election as principal followed
closely after that occurrence. Miss Jes-
sic Martin and Miss Stella Draper have
also been retained, but the position of
assistant principal remains untitled be-
cause the board desires a male teache'
for that position.

FLOUR MILL MEN
ANGRY OVER RATES

SEATTLE. April 3-Angered by the
discriminating rate to the Orient which
became effective yesterday on all the
line steamship companies from Puget
Sound and Columbia river. a majority
of the members of the Washington
Millers' association, embodying all the
big flour mill men of the state have
ranged themselves in opposition to
the Transpacific Freight bureau. as the
steamship organization is called. and
will aid the tramp steamships and
companies operating them in the rate
war and fight for supremacy which has
been started. The new rates adopted
by the bureau make the freight on
flour considerably higher ton than
on wheat to many Oriental ports and
the milling men feel that this is a di-
rect thrust at their business.
A meeting will be held in the near
future at which time the subject will
be thoroughly discussed and some def
mite action taken on the matter. A
prominent member of the assOcia ion.
who refused to permit the use of his
name. said this morning: The steam
ship companies are running one bust
ness and the millers are running an
Other We shall continue to send our
flour TO the Orient at the best possible
rates. regardless of whether the regu
lar liners discriminate for or against
us. The firm most active in the fight
against foreign tramps was among the
first to use British bottoms in the
Oriental trade and the largest part of
heir cargOes go in foreign ships. Why
should we show any partiality toward
them or any other foreign company as
a against a better rate on equally as
good British. German or Norwegian
tramps? AS there are only three or
four American bottoms in the lines
running from Puget sound and fight
ing the foreign tramps,' we fail to see
vhv the question of rates should not
hold first place in the mind of the i'm
porter

DESPITE THE PROMISES OF

PORT Az PRINCE. April 3.-White

American. German and French bust

They assert the blacks are daily

massacres will certainly occur unless
there is a foreign demonstration.

SPOKANE INDIANS
COMING TO TOWN
SPEEDY BASEBALL AGGREGATION
ARRANGES FOUR GAMES
FOR NEXT WEEK

Baseball will open in earnest in this
city on Sunday, when the Spokane In
dians will come over from Lewiston
and engage in d practice game with
the local team. Two or three games
will be played with Whitman college
land perhaps one with the fort if it
can be arranged.
That the hOrsehide will not be bat
ted all on one side is the freely ex-
pressed opinion of the fans of this city
who have been busy getting line on
the baseball material here. There are
enough of the old men and some good
new ones to scrape up first class team
and the score will hardly be ito get
some" for Walla Walla in the first
game of the season.
During the week the Indians will en-
deavOr to repeat the Whitman massacre
playing two or three games on the
college grounds with the speedy
youngsters at the missionary school
Whitman last year he'd the Tacoma
Tigers down to brass tacks and there
is every reason to believe that there
will be things doing when they meet
the Spokane bunch. A game with the
fort is possibility that has not as vet
been fully worked out.
But at any rate there will be four
or more games with the Indians and
they should all be good ones. for the
local teams will be strong enough to
make things interesting for the ma
rauding Indians who are on the war
path before the season is really open.
Sunday will be the opening of the series
and there will be no doubt a warm
game to open the season

stances and environments. Superin-
