A DEVOTED TEACHER.
PERSON notable in the affairs Of

a PERSON notable in the affairs of this city
passed away yesterday in the death of
Miss Williams, assistant superintendent of the
public schools Few in the State hold more i'm
portant positions than the one she held The
educational forces of the city are probably its
most essential forces.
What the State will be depends largely on
what is done with the children in the schools
Often the work of the teacher is not recognized
as 1t should be- If teacher is conscientious her
life is laborious and self-sacri6cing
Miss Williams devoted many years to the SER
vice of the city in the education of its youth
Many man and many a woman in the city or
residents of other States have the impress Of her
educational work among them. She was devoted
to her calling panstaling, alert, conscientious, in
love with her duties.
It is behtting that the schools should be closed
as tribute to her memory.

in Idaho's timber in the Clearwater
district being carried into Wash

S. Denning of Moscow, who was a
business visitor in the city yester-

"The passage of the Benton dam

"The location of a mill for the
Clearwater district has been a per-

Denning, "and while there have
been locations offered at Lewiston
and other points, these places could
only be secured at great expense

GERMANY MAKES
HEAVY LOANS

ON NAVAL AND INDUSTRIAL
PROGRAM-ENGLISH CAPITAL
LOOKS ASKANCE.

LONDON, April 3.-News that
the new German and Prussian loans
amount to $162,OOO,O0O is a sur
prise to London and has resulted in
much discussion and even in an ex-
preston of some distrust of the
financial position. of Germany.
That loans amounting to $780,
100000 have already been found
necessary this year and that these
loans are keeping pace with greatly
increased naval expenditures In
Germany interests British fnan-
ciers and the British public keenly,
and some are of the opinion that
this financial activity shows a ten
dency ultimately towards war.
Others believe German loans are a
safeguard against war.
While in her civil undertakings
Germany requires immense sums at
this time, 1t was expected the gov
ernment could borrow SO much cas-
lily and not find it necessary to pay
a high rate of interest. Four per
cent is higher interest than Ger
many has been compelled to pay in
more than 20 years. 1t is believed
that little English capital will be
invested in these loans, and thai
the English market will be only In
! directly affected.
