a large audience gathered ut the
Palatinc school auditorium last even.
Ing to witness the exercises OF the
completing class of EirstNwartl
graded schols. A class OF "a boys and
girls were. graduated from this school

nal school? Other addresses tstwere
made BY Prof. Joseph Roster. and w.
A. Hustcad, principal of this school.
The year Just. closing for this school
has been the most successful year In
the history Of this school both as TO
attendance and grade OF work accom-.
pllshed The fact was brought ont
last evening that this ward is badly
in need Of another school building rs
as the building has been crowded
throughout the year and from the
growth Of the school this year 1t is
thought that the building will be en-.
tirely inadequate for the needs of the
ward next year. The past year saw
an enrolment of $50 students and the
prospects are that this number will be
increased one hundred and fifty the
coming year over TINT Of the year Just
closing. The project OF building new
building OH East Park avenue will be
considered and 1t is hoped BY the
friends and promoters OF the school OF
this ward that the project may be real.
ized In the near future.

HEALTHAOFFICER
MAY Be DOCTOR
If so Sanitary Policeman
Will do Part of Usual
Work.
Names of Drs. H. S. Rhu
and D. o. Weeks Men
toned For Place.

Sometime between now and the first
Of the year, the city board of health
will meet and reorganize. At that
time It Is said a health officer VIII
be elected and there is some specu-
lation as to who the man will be.
Members of the board of health.
declare that the mayor is not vest
ed with the power to appoint a sani-
tary police, and Mayor-elect Walters
says himself that he may have over
stepped his bounds when he appoint
ed James Lutz sanitary police.
1t is rumored that the next health
officer will be physician and In this
connection the names of DR.. II. S.
Rhu and DR.. ID. O. Weeks are mem
toned as willing to accept the posi-
tion. The election of a physician will
necessitate the appointment OF a san
itary police and eliminate the em-
ployment of a special physician In
the event OF an epidemic.
However, the department may be
conducted as it has been in the past.
Some say that Addison Balm has
champion on the board who sees no
reason why Mr. Balm should be dis
poscd of. Chief of Police Klinefel-
ter's name has been mentioned by
members of the board but the chieI
has not announced himself as cam
didate for the job. These two men
are not the only ones in the field. 9th
ers are working for the position OF
health officer. If a physician Is NOT
elected and for the sanitary police
position IL the board sees fit to elect
- pnVstcian.

Shicago, Dec. 13.--Delegates to the
National Irrigation Congress from
northwestern states took UP arms in
defense of the American farmers
right to go to Canada or anywhere
else he chooses when Secretary of
state Frear Of Wisconsin brought up
the inevitable topic of immigration
to Canada.
W. L. Moody of Spokane bluntly
protested against any actual or theo-
retical restriction of the right of the
American framer to go wherever he
thought best and Tom Richardson of
Portland challenged the figures of the
Wisconsin statement in regard to the
number of American farmers going to
Canada. q
'eThe exodus means an economic
loss to the state of nearly a quarter of
a million dollars annually" declared
Secretary of State Frear, and this
is aside from the Intangible value of
every Industrious settler in the coun-
try. We cannot inaugurate n special
back to The farm agitation in the
cities white the capable and intelli
gent farmers stream away from ou1
own lands to distant Eldorados in
Canada. We rejoice in the prosperity
of our northern neighbors but are
not willing to accept such losses un-
questioningly and the inquiry arises
what arguments can be legitimately
advanced to prevent such emigration
from the states. The cities win con-
tinue to grow in population, outstrip-
ping agricultural districts to the dee1
concern of statesmen and economists
but we will not stem the current by
crying back to the farm when oul
government and other governments
turn the spindle wheel Of reservation
prizes or irrigation lotteries. or flood
our states with glittering inducements
I'm an effort to persuade our own peo.
pie to give up their present homes
for an uncertainty"
That was when the delegate from
Spokane, Mr.. Moody jumped to his
feet to protest. 81 want to raise my
voice in protest against the idea tha'
the American farmer has not the
right to go to Canada If he wants
to-" he shouted. 'T do not now and

positively not snapped the girl.
isn't II fact you supported Miss
Graham?"
IL am not in the habit of support
ing anyone"
Miss Conrad denied that she had
ever dined in the apartment of Pat
Casey theatrical manager, whose
Japanese buffers handled Stokes af-
ter he was shot.
Miss Conrad described Stokes, as
he had been described to her by Miss
Graham:
''She told me he had ruined her,
that he never paid his debts, thnt no
never kept a promise and that he was
a man absolutely lacking in charac-
ter" said Miss conrad.
"DM you read the suicide letter
the night you say you found Miss
Graham suffering from carbolic acid
poisoning?" asked BuclSner.
YES"
isn't 1t a fact that you and Miss
Graham wrote that suicide letter be-
tween you, to get money from
StCles?"
"rhat is absurd" was the reply.
