To the Editor: Will you kindly per-
NIT me to say a word regarding an
article in last weeks paper. l have
been member of the board in Dickey
county for several years and as such
am very much interested in the schools.
I think you chit the nail on the
head' regarding the activity of book
agents and after talking with several
patrons of our school and members of
other boards, I know that they appre-
ciate the position you have taken and
are very grateful to you for looking
after their interests.
We do not need a change of books,
and if may give my opinion-I don't
care who asks for it-book agent, COM
mittee or county superintendent
have looked up the law on this matter
and find the county superintendent has
nothing whatever to do with it.
Is there not enough work in the
Office to keep her busy? If not, let
the county commissioners reduce the
salary. If so, let US who are required
by law, decide upon the books to be
used in our schools.
I talked to a men iber of that COM
mittee last week and find that several
Of them named on it, have never been
present, and although the report is
supposed to be made up in full it is
really only fostered by few.
Now I don't know whether those few
think they own this county or not. II
so, they will see their error later. We
in this township propose to do what is
best for the interests Of the people
living here. We had fine schools last
year. We liked our teachers. Our
books were satisfactory. And if l can
say anything to preclude change OF
books at this time I want to do it. II
seems to me that this selflappointed
committee is nothing more or less thar
a tool of certain book agents to be used
to foist upon the people a wholesale
change of books tearing up the regular
work and disrupting the general sue.
cess of the schools of last year.
When such thing is recommended
by officials elected by the people we
naturally look for "the fellow behind, u
and wonder who is getting the ''laurel
wreaths" by such move.
Will you please advise me if our
county superintendent is back of this
affair? Such an expense upon the tax.
payers is an outrage, and I, as one o1
your subscribers, would like to know
more about it.

] lgeant of the Portola Festival, which
viii be held on the night of Saturday,

Of brilliant moving tableauX.

surroundings that are an exact re-
production of the famous scenes of
the long ago. A vista of nearly 200
years of epoch making events will be
opened up for the vast throngs that
will line the route of the pageant

the life of the Indians hunting and
feasting and fighting. before the ad-
venturous Spaniard, seeking gold and

be shown ON floats.
The second division will portray
the discovery of gold which turned
the tide of affairs in California and
The West. a tableauX showing the
interior of an early gambling hall
will typify the wild times that follow
ed the finding of gold and the rush
of the argonauts.
An old historic stage coach with
one of the old time drivers will rum
Ole along, much as 1t used to when
It crossed the plains and mountains.
\ pony express rider will be seen
lashing along with his precious bur-
len as he did in the days before the

MY LOST YOUTH.

Often | think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often in thought we go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old
town,
And my youth comes back to me-
And a verse of Lapland song
Is haunting my memory still;
"A boys will is the winds WILL
And the thoughts of youth are long,
long thoughts"
remember the CLEANS and glooms
that dart
Across the schoolboy's brain:
The song and the silence in the heart
That in part are prophecies, and in
part
Are longings wild and vain.
And the voice of that fitful song
Sings on and is never still:
"A boys Will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long,
long thoughts"
There are things of which / may no;
speak;
There are thoughts that make the
strong heart weak,
And bring pallor into the cheek,
And a mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come Ger me like a chill:
"A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long,
long thoughts"
Strange to me now are the forms !
meet
When | visit the dear old town:
But the native air is pure and sweet,
And the trees that o'ershadow each
well known street,
AS they balance up and down,
Are singing the beautiful song,
Are signing and whispering still:
"a boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long,
long thoughts.
And behring's words are fresh and
fair,
And with joy that is almost pain
My heart goes back to wander there,
And among the dreams of the DAYS
that were
| find my lost youth again,
And the strange and beautiful
song,
The groves are repeating still:
"a boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long.
long thoughts"

COLORADO GIRL WRITES STORY
OF HER VISION.
[ Special to The sentinel. !

New York, Oct. 1.-Gertrude
Buell. Dunn, formerly of Denver and
Glenwood Springs, the young woman
who was responsible for something of
stir in the world when she had gone
iabroad with Ferdinand Pinney Earle,
the affinity man, has Just commenced
The Story of My Soul Test" in the
current number of the magazine
Moods. This publication, as stated
on the title cover, is the magazine
| of personality"
She has seen a vision. The vision
tseems to have been Frederick Pinney
Earle, for of him she writes:
"One of the milestones, which the
world has seen through strange
glasses; one which has led me onward
10 the meaning of life. is Ferdinand
Earle.
"Transcendent joy must mean
transcendent pain. And self-efface-
ment and humility one pays at the
gate"
The current number of Moods does
not deal with the story in detail. 1t
contains merely short Introduction,
land suggests things of unusual inter-
est to follow. The initial installment
of the story of the soul test is called
toll. Following the title is an
editors note, which refers to the
spectacular events" of Miss Dunn's
career.
Then follows Miss Dunn. She says
! in part;
out of a strange, conglomerate
! past | have emerged. to offer to the
world about me something of the
message that has come to me through
the hands that have brushed my
hands, the lives that have touched
| my life along the way.
Il have no thought to plead my
case before the world.
Toll will find me but one of the
ihurrying mass that pays the keeper
| at the gate at the highroad. And
none may enter and pass on until the
\ Stoll is paid.
Il shall be as frankly sincere as it
is possible to be. The strange stories
will not be easy to tell. But, however
strange or hard l shall try to en-
velop them with the deep love and
understanding which have come to
me from out the darkness"
