The revenue is to be handled by

TEDDY COMING WEST

Early i'll April. Theodore Roose-
welt, one time president Of the United
States, will honor the Northwest
with visit, in the course of his
swing around the country. On
leaving California, his schedule calls
for stops at Portland Seattle and
Spokane, the dates to be fixed later.
1t is expected that he will be the
recipient of many attentions, as
there are many people who still
have abiding faith in this big, two
fist publicist. despite the rout he so
recently suffered in his native state.
Underground rumors are to the ef-
feet that the forthcoming trip will
be used to strengthen thesuperstruc-
ture of the new Progressive Party,
whose foundations were recently laid
in Washington, as a preliminary
skirmish in the Battle of 1912.

MORE BOOSTERS AND
FEWER BOOMERS


More boosters and less boomers is
what'the Northwest needs. To un.
derstand this, q reading Of the dis
cussion on community publicity
contributed TO the February issue OF
Pacific Northwest Commerce by
Howard Elliott, president OF the
Northern Pacific Railway. Accor-
ding to his version, the booster Is
the man who exploits a merton
ious proposition, one which will
make good; while the boomer IS
not so particular about the thing he
promotes. In other words the
boomer is primarily interested IN
present gain, while the booster is
looking ahead, for future results
President Elliott declares that COM
munities must advertise themselves,
if they expect to develop. Hepoints
out that the railroads are doing
their share, but that in many in.
stances they are not getting much
help from the communities. Where
the two work hand in hand, the
most rapid progress is likely to be
found. The magazine is filled With
interesting stuff, one notable feature
being a complication Of the COM
mercial statistics of the eight lead
ing cities OF the Pacific Coast for
1910, as compared with 1909. All
of them show remarkable vitality.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

We have outgrown our present
schools. The school board desires
the permission of the voters to erect
building suitable for our needs.
There will be an election on Satur-
day, Feb. 1lth, at 2 p. m., to de-
termine whether they shall be per-
mitted to erect one.
The last time the board put the
proposition to the. people, through
some misunderstanding. it failed to
pass. This time the expression Of
every voter in the district is desired.
The policy Of the board will be to
erect building OF brick or concrete,
adequate to care for the school
requirements for the next few years.
Just at present this building would
be used for the high school and the
seventh and eighth grades, and, as
the needs grow would be used en-
tirely for the high school. As the
different sections became populated
thickly enough, ward schools would
be established wherever needed,
with central high school.
That bnildingois necessity is
felt by every parent in the valley,
and the only question now is its
location and the amount of money
that can be expended. The board
is ready with its offers and desires
a big attendance at the meeting
next week. The board will be gov
erned by the sentiment of the ma
jority of those present at this meet
ing, and it behooves every voter
who has the interests of the valley
at heart to be present to express his
views. re,,t ,s.,.

JURY DUTY OPTIONAL FOR WOMEN

"The ultimate end of this cadging

Where does the fault lie? What

I'm my opinion, there is too much
softness and kindness in the public
schools and home life of the present
