Supt. II. c. Baughman of Lane County
Says the County Fund Law for High
Schools Has Increased the Number
of High Schools In the Country.

SCHOOL has increased the NUMBER
of High Schools In the Country.
Concerning the working Of the fund
law in this county, | have no state
ment to make only the most favorable.
1t has surely done big things here.
The provisions Of the law are that,
certain requirements having been
reached, high schools are allowed to
draw from the fund for the attend
ance reported by the principal. There
are now about twenty high schools in
Lane county drawing from this fund.
Nine of these are union high schools
in rural communities and a few are
rural district high schools. These
have nearly all been organized since
the fund law was adopted, and feel
sure that the very great majority Of
them could not have been possible had
not this fund been available. The
effects Of the fund are fa~r-reachlng.
These have provided high school PRIV
ileges for a large number Of country
boys and girls who are enabled to at
tend high school at home. High school
attendance in Lane county has be-
come a custom and those eighth grade
graduates who do not enter some high
school in the county are few in num-
Der.
1t is a success here and is here to
stay, Respectfully,

Guayaquil Ecuador, Jan. 20
General Pedro Montero, until only
a short time ago a popular hero in
Guayaquail, was yesterday shot by
an angry populace, beheaded and
his body then burned, because he
was considered traitor.
Montero had just been eourtmar-
tailed and sentenced to f6 years
Imprisonment, which was consid-
cred too light a punishment by the
people. A mob was quickly formed
which rushed into the courtroom,
overpowering the troops in charge
and Kidding Montero's body with
bullets. The body was then drag
ged into the street, where the
lynching was completed.
In November last, Montero was
proclaimed president Of the repub-
lie by the troops stationed at Quay

ment troops later defeated Gen,
Alfaro and captured this cily. This

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Advance copies
Of the new spring hats for women

that they will not permit of any
false hair, and may be worn with
out hat pins. The hair must be
plain, parted in the middle and
smooihed down in the grandmother
style, to admit Of the hat being put
on. Among the new styles are The
sugar loaf. the beehive and the
Russian helmet, the conquistadora
and others. some resembling bark
from tree. trimmed to carry out
the woodland effect.
Prices for women's headgear will
also be advanced as a result Of the
increase in size.
Dress and cafe hats are larger
and broader than ever, but are Of
gold or silver braid or satin. with
chifon-cofered flowers and foun-
dalton color to match the gown.
