DIRECTORS FAVOR
INCREASE IN LEVY
ENDORSE RAISE MADE
BY COUNTY COURT
Consider That Increase From 81 to
$40 per Capita More Equitable
Convention Also Favors Compul-
sorry Attendance of all Members of
Board.

After adopting by unanimous vote
the resolution endorsing the action OF
the county court in raising the levy
for county school purposes from 81
to $40 per capita, the second annual
meeting of the directors of Umatilla
county adjourned saturday afternoon.
The action of the board in endorsing
the increased levy is considered sig
nificant by reason of the fact that
many of the largest taxpayers of the
county were in attendance.
1t was considered, after a full and
complete discussion, that the increas-
ing of the general levy for the county
school fund would be more equitable
since all the taxpayers of the county
would be compelled to pay their just
proportion to the fund. Under the old
system some escaped. This will have
the affect of cutting down the am
cunt of the special levies and in some
districts will eliminate them. 1t is al
so expected to make for longer terms
and better schools.
While the two principal addresses
of the day were delivered by Prof.
l. R. Alderman and Superintendent
r. F. Robinson of Portland, other
addresses were delivered, notable am
ons these being by DR.. c. ]. Smith
and DIR. ", G, Cole, both of the local
school board
It was also decided at the meeting
that it would be for the best interests
of the schools of the county to change
the present law so that it would be
compulsory for every member of the
school board to attend these annual
conventions. At present only one
member is required to attend and as
this is usually the chairman who goes
out of office on the following June
the benefits of the convention are
largely wasted on the district.
Prof, Alderman recommended the
adoption of g plan having for its pur-
pose the occurring OF more direct su'
pervision of the different schools. HI
would divide the county into division
of 20 districts each and would have
sub-superutendent whose duty 4
would be to visit each district on,
whole day in each month. He helt
that this would come near placing tn,
country schools on an equality will
the city schools and his suggestion
seemed to meet with favor. No vot'
was taken on the matter however.
Among those present at the meeting
were: c. A. Barrett. Athena; II. J
Taylor, Fulton; s. F. Wilson. Athena

DANv|LLE BOYS
DEADLY PERIL

Raymond Sinton, the twelve-year-
old son of Martin Sinton, formerly of
this city, narrowly escaped freezing
to death while driving from Shamokin
to Danville on Sunday evening. The
lad had fallen into stupor and was
unable to stand.
The following account of he.affair
is given by Horace Baker, of Rush
township, to whose residence the boy
was carried and where he was finally
revived. Raymond was accompanied
by two older brothers. They were
snugly tucked away in the sleigh, but
robes and clothing were no proof
against the bitter cold, the thermom-
eter at that hour registering near zero.
1t was about half past six O'Clock,
when the boys were in the neighbor-
hood of John Bowden's, that the lit
tie fellow began to complain bitterly
of the cold. Soon after he lapsed into
silence and on investigation the broth
ers found that he had fallen in "A sort
of II stupor. They took him out of the
sleigh and tried to get him to walk.
He was too numb to stand, however,
Realizing that the case was desperate
the,brothers put the boy into the sleigh
and started at high speed for the near
est farm house, which happened to be
the home of Mr.. Baker.
The boy was helpless and unable to
answer any questions when brought
into the house. He was given wine;
his hands were placed in cold water
and such other remedies were applied
as suggested themselves 1t required an
hours hard work to bring him back
to norme' condition.
The above lustrates that the
an frame can ~ relied upol

to be attended with danger.

WASTE OF WATER

Owing to the rise in temperature
the pumps at the water works have
not been obliged to work so hard dur
ing the last twenty-four hours as in
the early part of the week when zero
weather prevailed.
In order to prevent the pipes from
freezing water takers have habit of
letting the hydrants open all night. In
this way an enormous quantity of
water goes to waste and the pumps
are kept working up to nearly their
full capacity to keep the mains filled.
similar waste occurs during the
summer, whenever dry spell occurs,
as the hydrants are then drawn upon
to furnish water for sprinkling pur-
poses.
The borough has forbidden the vast
ing of water in this way, either sum
mer or winter, but it mas not succeed
ed in breaking up the practice.

THE TRAMP QUESTION

There was not n single tramp in the
lookup Tuesday night. There would
be nothing remarkable in this, if it
were not for the fact that every night
previously for months half "a dozen
or upwards applied for and were given
lodging in the bastile During Jan
nary eighty-one of the Willies came
this way and, with the exception of
Tuesday seven to nine have been the
quota nightly during the present
month.
The subject of hoboes was discussed
at length at the last meeting of couns
Gil, but no action was taken. \ couple
of councilmen advocated hauling out
the ball and chain and making an ex-
ample of a few.
The experience of a woman in town
was cited to show what the average
tramp is like. Finding an objection
ablel looking fellow at the door who
wanted food, she explained that she
was 'out of bread II suppose you
are waiting FOR the bread wagon, the
hobo remarked. The woman intimated
that she might have use for the baker
later on, whereupon the fellow add
ed: II judged that you were too lazy
to bake. The remark offensive as it
was, was rendered more so by being
punctuated with profanity.
Naturally the councilmen do not
like the idea of furnishing such men
with shelter. At the same time it is a
question with most people whether
the town is not safer with the hoboes
in the lookup than if they were at
large. The tramp problem is diff
cult one and Danville is not the only
town that would like to find a salts
factory solution of it.

A DEPARTURE
IN THE SCHOOLS

A departure has been planned in
the public schools of Danville, this
year, relating to the observance of
Washington and Lincoln's birthday.
both of which occur in February.
Previously some confusion was oc-
casioned in the schools by the separate
observance of these two birthdays,
which occur only little over a week
apart. 1t has been decided to select
altogether a different date, February
18th, to be known as Washington
Lincoln Day and Parent Day. On
this occasion the memory of Washing
ton and Lincoln will be honored and
the parents invited to inspect the work
done by the pupils. Thus the regular
school work will be interrupted on
only one day, Friday.
The eXercises-to be held i'll the af
temoon-will be appropriate to the
occasion and will consist of singing,
recitations and readings, the select
ions all having reference to Washing
ton and Lincoln. In order to give the
patrons an opportunity to judge as to
the kind of work done, in some of the
schools the exercises will take the
form of regular class drill. In none
of the grades, however, will special
work be omitted.
In the past the patrons of the
schools were present on special occas-
ions. This year, parents day" will
be special feature in connection
with the celebration of Washington
and Lincoln's s birthday. Work done
by the pupils during the term will be
open for inspection. A general invi-
tation is extended and all those who
have children in attendance or feel an
interest in the schools are expected
to be present.
