concerns have been to see him con-

to invest. but Lee shook his head ana
said he was not an investor.
Mr. Crocker took Lee into his en-

ANCIENT AZTECs HELD
CROSS IN REVERENCE

Boston.-The discovery OF Profess
sor Marshall II. Saville, Harvard
ethnologist, in Mexico. that the an
cient Aztecs and probably their pre-
decessors, the Toltecs. attached a spe-
cial reverence to the cross, is thought
to have a radically important bear
ing on the theories of the origin of
these mysterious people,
Professor Savil.e, who has devoted
much time to explorations about
Milla, in the state of Oakoca, whose
hall of columns has been known for
centuries, has laid bare the fact that
the chambers of the dead are cruci-
form. Professor Saville gives these
cross-shaped tombs, the largest be-
ing As to 35 feet, about six feet wide
and seven to nine feet high,
More than 80 skeletons have been
found, but unfortunately they were
in a very poor state of preservation.
In one of the tombs Professor Saville
reports having discovered a cache of
12O tau-shaped objects. These may
be cutting implements, but are more
generally regarded as money. Regard
ing the cross shape of the tombs Pro-
fessor Saville says:
Their form lends an added interest
to these chambers, and an analogy
might be drawn with the crosses OF
the Old world. The cross is not un-
common in old Mexican remains and
must have had some deep meaning
with these ancient peoples. The rea-
son why these chambers were so con-
structed 1 shall not undertake to an
swer. but light may be thrown on this
question as archaeological research
progresses in the near future"

SCHOOL CENSUS
SHOWS INCREASE
But TT DOES NOT REACH
PREVIOUS EXPECTATIONS
Total Increase in County Is ST.
Stanfield Leads, Having More Than
Doubled School Population in Last
Year.

The increase over last year in the
number of people in the county of
school age, as shown by the annual
census which was started in Novem-
Der and which has just been COM
pleted is 81. While the increase is
gratifying, it is not as large as was
first anticipated by the earlier reports.
The new district of Stanfield shows
the largest increase of any single dis
trict in the county, and as result of
having doubled its school population
during the present year, the spring
apportionment for this district will be
based on the new census instead of on
the old, which will govern the ap-
portionments for all the other dis
tricts. This is not the first time that
this condition OF affairs has prevail
ed In Cmatilla county, for Hermiston
made the same showing with the same
results, at one time.
The law provides that wherever any
district shall show an increase of loO
per cent or more over the former
census that the ensuing apportion-
ment shall be based on this new GEN.
sus instead of on the old, as the law
provides in the ordinary course of
events
Last years census showed a school
population in Stanfield of So, while
this years census shows population
of 12s, a gain of 70. "
The full reports show the number
of males in the county of school age
to be 3247. while the number of fe-
males is but 3076, making total of
$500. 1t will thus be seen that there
are not enough girls to go around by
16s.

Is a Miser Happy?

One of the most intimate associates Of John D. Rockefeller declares that he never has seen the oil millionaire spend 9 penny in his life. He refers, CT course to those incidental and per sonaI expenditures that the ordinary man treats as a matter of course. Ac- cording to his statement, MT. Pocke- feller never bought g cigar. or an ice cream soda. or a ticket to the circus or thearer.
 No average human being can unSer- stand what satisfaction Mir. RockeTel- Ter can get out Of money that he never has seen nor handled, but which his lifelong habits of economy will not permit him to spend. But Mir. Rocke- felIer insists that he is quite happy He assure us that it is greater pleasure to save than to spend. He advises ali young men to develop the saving habit so early and effectively that 1t will dominate them through life
 Undoubtedly, most of us would be better off fna ancially If we had taken his advice. The American people ad- init themselves to be a nation Of spendthrifts. But if all followed the Rockefeller example. what 9 tight old world this would be. 4 greater au- thority than he has commanded us to use moderation in all things.

RECORDED PRISON DEATHS. Dorance Atwater, Who Has Just Died
 in San Francisco.

Former State Senator Francis At water of Neriden. received word from San Francisco TuesGay of the death in that city Monday night of d1is brother, Dorance Atwater, widely known as the man who made the se- cret record of the deaths of federal prisoners in the confederate military prison at AndersonvilIe.
 Mt. Atwater was born at Plymouth this state, in 1845, and at the age of sixteen enlisted for the war with the First squadron, Connecticut cavalry and was later connected with the Harris light cavalry of New York. He was taken prisoner in February, 1884 and sent to Andersonvilie prison where he was detailed as clerk to make a record for the prison of the deaths among the federal prisoners
 Suspecting that the list as compiled by him was not being sent to the gov ernment, Mir Atwater made a dupli- cate of the list given the prison au- thorities keeping it from their knowl- edge. His list contained some 13000 names. When in 1885 he was sent to the parole camp at Annapolis he car ried this list with him secreted in the lining of his coat. The question of the ownership Of the list caused con- siderable litigation, but recently rec ognition was given MT. Atwater by the government.
 He leaves his wife who before her marriage to him was a princess in the Island Of Tahiti, one of the Society islands group.
