SCHOOLS ARE IN
GOOD CONDITION

County Superintendent of Schools
Grant S. Bond returned last night
from a visit of the schools at the
towns along the river in the west end
of the county. Everything was found
in first class shape and highly salts

the superintendent
AT Two Rivers they are just fin
ishing a new two-story building, one
of the best village schools in the coun-
ty," said Mr.. Bond this morning 1T
is a five-room building and is a beau
ty. 1t is frame structure, on a con-
crete foundation and was erected at
the cost Of about $4,000. At present it
is just ready for the plasterer, but they
are holding school in it just the
same.
Miss Ida Abbott is the teacher at
Two Rivers and she has a good num-
Der of pupils. In fact the school is
so large that it will have to be divided
soon. Two Rivers is growing, and
with it's growth, of course, the school
is bound to get larger.
"At Wallula l found the schools in
a flourishing condition. Much inter-
est is being taken there and the con-
dition is most satisfactory. Few
towns the size of Wallula have better
schools.
"Over at Alfalfa the school propo-
sition is a puzzle. There are IL chill
dren of school age there and there is
no school for them to attend. Alfalfa
is three miles from Wallula and is
building up quite rapidly. The IL
children are in the town and have no
place to attend school. We have de-
cided to either run a wagon to Wallula
or else to rent a room in Alfalfa and
hire a teahcer at once. 1t is surprls-
ing the way that little place is grow
ing.
everywhere have been in the coun-
tv the schools are in satisfactory con-
dition and the outlook for good year
is bright

The romantic marriage of Blanche
Bruner, Davenport young lady, to
George w. Godfrey. son of a Boston
millionaire, occurred some months ago.
Miss Bruner was attending a musical
conservatory at Boston, and there met
the young man, who was smitten at
first sight. An elopement to Chicago
followed, and there the incident was
siven much publicity. Now dispatches
from Boston state that the couple have
separated and the husband is contem-
plating beginning divorce proceedings
Some weeks ago the husband went to
the Pacific coast on business and on
his return he took up quarters at a
hotel, ignoring his wife.
A demand for explanations followed
and this is said to have led to the

in order. He took AN ihquiring sip.
The drink was delicious, and only the
quantity seemed appalling. AS he pro
ceeded with the operation of dressing,
however, he frequently required to It,
1t was a large pitcher, and it was pref
ty full, but gradually there came over
him sense of the duty imposed on
him and an appreciation of the fact
that the reputation of the north was at
stake
He found each sip more refreshing
than the last, however, and as he saw
the bottom of the pitcher he became
convinced that no form of hospitality
could be more pleasant and no social
and family customs more delightful
than those found in the southern home
As he finished his toilet with growing
difficulty the darby again made his APP
pearance. He gazed at the empty
pitcher, then the visitor, then at the
pitcher and at the. visitor once more,
with rolling eyes and departed with
shaking shoulders.
Somewhat, mystifed, yet happy, Mr..
Stedman descended to breakfast with
q surprising sense of difficulty In nav
igation. AS he steered to his place the
family-a large one, containing several
girls-looked at him with glances star
tied, amused, Mortified.
The meal and the remainder of the
day, which he passed in close retire
ment, he confessed, remain as a vague
dream in his mind. 1t was not until a
few days later that he discovered he
had consumed the entire family's morn
ing allowance of mint julep, which, ac-
cording to the southern custom, haG
been carried first to the guest.
When Mr.. Stedman was visiting in
New England few years ago he was
called upon by the head of the house
while at dinner to invoke the divine
blessing, says the Boston Herald.
