Editor of the Courier: II. A. Cor

the Courier, issue of December 81,
states that It Is quite a question as

gold can be amalgamated readily by
the aid of the electric current. Please
allow me TO say through your col

may be concerned, that any and all
rusty, greasy or corroded gold of any
fineness can readily and positively be
amalgamated by the use OF the prop

win Settle High School Site by Vote.

The Grants Pass school board has,
after due consideration, decided to
decline the honor of selecting a high
school site, believing that it will be
better to have a vote Of the people
on location for the high school as
well as for voting bonds for its con-
struction. The board fears that the
people might refuse to vote the bonds
and in that case it would be bad pol
icy to have high school site on
hand. Some of the board are little
pessimestic and evidently don't be-
lieve much in education beyond the
three Rs.

THOSE STATEHOOD

Several times during the pas

meets every requirement for state

The HAzlNG LAW
TO BE AMENDED.

The United States senate has
passed the bill introduced by Sena
tor Du Pont regulating the punish
ment of hazing at the military and
Naval Academies. The present law
provides the penalty OF dismissal for
any proved offense OF hazing. wheth-
er the case be a trivial or agra
waited one. As a result many Of the
cadets dismissed have bombarded
congressman, the president and the
departments with petitions for rein
statement on the plea that the pun
ishment has been too severe for the
character Of the offense
The Du Pont bill seeks to moder-
ate the drastic penalty OF the pres
ent law by leaving to the authori
ties Of the Academies a certain
amount of latitude in fixing q pen
atty commensurate with the offense.
Thus the penalties will range from
mere suspension and discipline foi
the lighter offenses to expulsion for
the graver forms OF the practice. 4:

Law win result in fewer ex
