LINCOLN SCHOOL ALSO.

The proposed $1,000 OO high school
bond issue will not only provide mon
for building a new high school but
will also provide funds for complet-
ing the Lincoln school. This is a fact
people should bear in mind and it
should appeal especially to residents
of the north side.
At present the north side school is
hut half completed and the people
over there do not have a good school
facilities as do the residents of the
east and west ends. This is true de-
rite the fact hat the north side is
growing more rapidly than any other
portion of the city and is generally re-
garded as a favored residence district.
With the activity that will be on
in this city during the immediate flu
ture it is inevitable that the popula-
ton will increase and unless all signs

THERE WASN'T \ SUCKER.

A senator who is an ardent advocate
Of a tariff commission was taken
aback when, while waiting in the ex-
ecutive, he spun what he considered
a really "phunny" story.
He was telling about the English
man who didn't want his wife to put
on the gown she had worn on the
night previous. The wife, surprised,
aueried: why. my desr, what's the
matter with that dress?"
well, Brown-Jones came to me
last night after looking at it, and said
without a ghost of a smile: An my
dear fellow, I see your wife's back
from Kensington""
There wasn't a smoker. That's an
English Joke" admitted the story
teller, with an expression that varied
between amusement and discomfit-
ure, and English Jokes are a bit diff
ficult to some"

SURVIVAL OF THE UNFIT.

It's the cracked and ~noseless pitcher
That survives the hardest knocks:
'Tis the gown that least becomes us
That outwears u favorite frocks,
It's the broken ribbed umbrella
hat confronts us, rainy days,
While our own, pearl-handled treas
ure
In some other hall-rack stays.
It's the coarse and common fabric
Goes un scathed through suds and
dust,
While our best and finest linen
Gets the coffee-stains and rust.
tbs the weed that's most obnoxious
That is left to spread and grow,
While the slips we dearly cherish
Fall a victim to the hoe.
'Tis the battle-scarred old Thomas,
Who splits and growls and bites,
Who stays with us from year 10
year,
And murders sleep o'nights,
While frolicsome young Tabby,
With temper sweet and milo,
Becomes the prey of vandal boys,
Or is by thief beguiled.
It's the friend, our heart mos. longed
for
Who can just a minute stay,
While the family aversion
Comes prepared to spend the day,
Thus, numberless examples
Do not prove one little bit
The correctness of hat saying
THE survival Of the fit"

AVIATION'S BRIGHT
PROSPECTS FOR 1911

Aviation never had brighter pros
poets than in this spring of 1911. The
world is aroused to its amazing pos
sibilities, to the widening of the new
field, which the air offers for ad-
venture, for pleasure, for travel, for
war, and to some extent also for
commercial intercourse. The new
science has its tragedies; Its martyrs;
but what great development in hui
man advance has not had it's martyrs ?
The does not repeat with
Wolfe the lines he hummed as mis-
vessels bore him to glory and death

Why, soldiers, why. should we be

for self-preservation, is ready to face

THEY GO TOGETHER

There are some people who seem
to think that it might be going
strong for Pendleton people to vote
a new high school and also a gravity
water system this year. They appear
to think that there may be some con-
flict between these two Improvements.
Such an idea is all wrong and I'M
founded. There is no conflict be-
tween the new high school and the
gravity water system. At a meeting
of the commercial club managers dur
ing the winter ]. T. Brown, chairman
o. the water commissioners and also
n member OF the school board, made
clear this point. He said that to vote
a new high school should in no way
Interfere with a bond issue for a
mountain water system. This because
the water system will pay for itself
out of the profits to be derived from
the system. The water bonds will
In reality not be a liability at all, for
the simple reason that the city will
be making money off its water sys-
TEN and will be able to take care Of
that Indebtedness from the profits.
1t may also be pointed out that the
water bond issue will be a small one
IL view of the nature of that improve
ment. The sum Of 100000 is not
much for a city like Pendleton to pay
for a mountain water supply. When
the city of Medford was smaller in
population than is Pendleton and had
not half the wealth of this place Med
ford built a water system costing
S450,000. Since that time Medford
has grown wonderfully and much OF
Medford's progress has been due 70
the fact that it has provided good
schools and good water for its peo-
pie.
Instead Of conflicting the new high
school and the mountain water sup
ply go together. If we provide an
adequate high school more people will
come to the city to take advantage OF
our school facilities and those people
should pc given wholesome water.
On the other hand with a mountain
water system installed the population
OF the city would unquestionably In
crease and better school facilities
would be made imperative-even were
improvements not imperative at this
time.
People need not be afraid hat the

school are also backing the gravity

The fact that. this will be Wolgasts

the fact that it will be Hogan's last ap-

Wolgast, has lent an additional inter-
