OVER HOMERULE

Belfast. Ireland, Sept 25.-Porta
Down, county of Armagh, was the
scene of another huge anti-home rule
demonstration today. Following the
usual professions thousands of 10y

nunciations OF the nationalists by
General John Redmond
Public excitement is growing en-
oTmously. Ulster leaders are desper-

only and ii is by virtue of the pos
session of this celebrated institution
that Pendleton is able to hear lec-
turer whose fame reaches around the
world and who ordinary must confine
his speaking to the larger cities of
the country. He has good red blood
in his veins and, judging by the let
ters received here, is anticipating the
Roundup with all the enthusiasm of
a child going to see its first circus.
Inasmuch as Father Vaughan gen.
orally weaves into his lectures anec-
dotes and impressions gathered where
ever he goes, the fame of Pendleton
and the Roundup will undoubtedly
be farther extended by the visit here
of the famous churchman and orator

Among the other features are
trained goats, troupe of clever
Spltz dogs, leaping greyhounds and
number of acrobats.
Owing to the lateness of the arriv-
al of the troupe last evening and the
smallness OF the platform. the per-
formance was staged on the ground
last night and many were unable to
see II, but today workmen have con-
structed a large stage and visitors
hereafter will all have good view of
the circus.
Singing Is Good.
One of the finest voices ever heard
in Pendleton is that possessed by Mrs.
sullivan, who sang in the pavilion last
evening Though handicapped by
singing in such a large, open area,
she delighted the crowd with her
wonderful tones and will undoubtedly
attract many of the music lovers. back
each evening.
Judging Begins Today.
The judging of the agricultural and
horticultural exhibits as commenced
today and will probably be completed
this evening, so that the prize ribbons
can be attached to the winners. The
judges are q. f. Wright of Roseburg
president of the Fifth District Agri-
cultural society; ID. +. Dean of Her
miston, representing the oregon Ag-
ricultural College, and IL. d. Lamb
of Milton, former manager of the
Milton Fruit Growers Union. Their
task is made extremely difficult by
the close competition between the
different sections of the county.

Praise for Directors.

After looking over the Roundup
grounds and inspecting the quality
and quantity of talent assembled
for the Roundup this year, Mr.. Nc
Murray declared himself most highly
pleased. You have made every ar
rangement for the people. With your
new bleachers and enlarged grand
stand you can seat 10000 people and
the finest thing about the arrange
ment is that every seat is a good seat.
The Roundup is going to be fine,
clean, stirring show and the people
who come to see ii will like it,"
In company with Mr.. McMurray in
the city today is Travelling Passenger
Neill. who will stay here until after
the Roundup. Superintendent A.
Buckley of La Grande is also here in
connection with the management of
the operating department of the road.

Mr.. McMurray but a week ago re-
turned from an extremely enjoyable
trip to his old home in Ireland. He
was accompanied by Mrs. McMurray

land and Scotland as well as the En-
erald Isle While in Edinburough
Mr. and Mrs. McMurray attended a
picture show and were surprised as
we'll as pleased to see views of the
Portland rose show. He endeavored

that the matter will carry anyhow
and that there is no use to go and
vote.
Remember that if the election
fails the board will either build
some more frame fre-traps, spend

use and have nothing when they
get through. Why not put those
thousands in a building that you

NECK CRUSHED
UNDER WAGON
John Aystte Killed Near LENA Sunday
Night When Wagon and Team
Slid Down Hill
COMPANIONS ESCAPE INJURY
Ayette's Body Found to Lay Inside
Montana Boundary Line

John Ayette, an employee at the
logging camp of Claude .Houghton
near Lenia, Ida, was instantly
killed Sunday evening about
o'clock, when the wagon upon
which he was riding went over an
embankment and he was thrown i'll
such a manner as to cause the
breaking of his neck. The body
was taken to Libby, Mont, where
interment was made Wednesday.
Ayette was in Boomers Ferry
Sunday and went to LENA Sunday
evening, arriving there just in time
to get a ride on the wagon which
was taking supplies to the Hough
ton logging camp. The driver of
the wagon and another man were
on the seat and Ayette sat ON the
wagon next to the hillside. Accord
ing to the version of the affair told
by Mrs. Houghton, all three of the
men were drunk, and in rounding
curve in the road on the steep
hillside the team and wagon went
over the bank. The wagon turned
completely over. end for end, and
with the horses lodged in the brush
on the hillside some fifteen feet
down the hill. Ayette was thrown
backward as the wagon tipped
and the whole weight of the load
fell on his neck causing instant
death. The two men on the seat
were hurled some thirty feet down
the hillside and escaped with few
minor bruises. The team of horses
were only scratched a bit.
As soon as they heard of the
fatality Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton
sent telegram to Coroner Knapp
at Hope, Ida, notifying him of
the accident. Coroner Knapp i'm
mediately mott ed Undertaken
Moore of this city, to take care of
the body. In the meantime the
. question arose at Houghton's
camp as to whether or not the ac-
cident occurred in Montana or
J Idaho, as the boundary line was
known to be close by where Ayette
was killed. A survey was made
and it was found that Ayette's
body lay just seven feet inside the
Montana line. Mrs. Houghton
then telegraphed the coroner OF
| Lincoln county, Montana, to take
care of the case. and about noon
Monday notified Coroner Knapp of
this county that his services were
not needed. In the meantime I'm

for the scene of the accident, max

The question of whether or not
Independent School District No. 4
shall be bonded in the sum of
$40, 900 for the purpose of building
and equipping a new school house
will be decided at the bond election
which is to be held tomorrow, De
cember 7, at the high school build
ing between the hours of / and 5
o clock i'll the afternoon.
Anyone who is a resident of the
district and who owns property of
some kind, or if they don't own
property is the head of family,
can vote at this election, Any
woman can vote if she is a wife or
is single and is over p years of age
and owns property.
In the calling of the bonding
election the board of trustees of
Independent School District No. 4
ask the residents .of the district to
endorse their work. The board
has gone over the situation thor
oughly and believes that a bond
issue must be made. They have
found that the crying need of the
school is for more room and that five
of the eight grades are now over
crowded, while the high school is
even more crowded than any of the
grades.
Large Annual Increase
Statistics of our school shows a
steady growth for a number of
years. The rate of increase from
year to year has been about IA per
cent in the grades and is 90 per
cent in the high school. The
building is jammed full at the pres
ent time. There are three grades that
could get along for another year,
but the others cannot.
The high school has doubled its
capacity and has been forced to use
the small Office room for class pur-
poses, and there are times during
the day when there is hardly stand
ing room, let alone comfortable
seating room. Every available inch
of space is crowded to the limit to
take care of this year work
Great Increase in High School
The high school was established
last year; that is, the full four
course was offered for the first
time. The attendance was 80. We
had few students from the north
side, but none from distant dis
tricts. The law of the state OF
Idaho permits students of the
eighth grade and high school tc
enter any school in that county
they may desire. There are nc
other high schools in Bonner coun.
ty north of Standpoint, and students
have already, in the short space Of
one year, learned of our high schoo,
and its splendid opportunities and
are entering its doors in ever in
creasing numbers. The enrolment
at the present time is 81, an in
crease of % 1-2 per cent.
What will the high school en-
rollment be next year? Think TO
a minute and you can estimat'
within FIVE or six at any rate. W.
have in our eighth grade an Ell
rollment of 20. We will say thes,
enter the high school next year ant
that eight will graduate next May
This alone then would increase tn
present enrolment of 81 to 20
Suppose that we have even as grea
an increase from the outside mex

the enrolment will be IS. If tn

S., and now if you spread this
over ten years instead of all at
once Nj. Smith would have to pay
so cents each year extra tax on his
fine 81, 900 home. You say your
home is not worth 81, 900. Well,
then, how much tax would you
pay?
Would you miss the so cents?
Would you notice the addition
of the school?
Does the proposition look better
to your
How many graduates will this
school turn out in twenty years?
Well there were four last year.
This year there will be eight and
and next year ten or more, and
from that on from fifteen up. Safe
to estimate 200 in twenty years.
What do you consider an educa-
ton worth in this day of active
competition for power, position and
SUGGEST What will the average
uneducated man, taking the whole
world into consideration, earn in a
wear? About $500. Well, LETT
make it a little more-say 5000.
Now what will the average edu-
Gated man earn in a Year, About
So, 900. Well, let's cut that down
to make sure, and say 81 900.
Now the average man lives to be
SIS years old and we will say re-
ceives his education at rs years. so
that he would be earning money
thirty years. If he earns $500
more each year than the average
uneducated man, then in thirty
years he earns S12, 600 more. Is
this then the value of an education?
Suppose that the value of an edu-
cation during ones whole lifetime
is only 81 900. If forty students
graduate from this school in twenty
years it has paid for itself. How
about it?
Moral Standing of School Town
Would 200 high school gradu-
ates better the moral standing Of
our community? Or in other
words think of the educated mer
in your city today and ask yourself
if they better the standing of the
community? Would the genera
character be as good if they were
not here?
From two to five hundred grad
yates, and of that number one hun
bred will go on and complete a
some college or university and re
turn to us better educated to min
gle again with us, will show as al
asset on the balance sheet of thi
city in twenty years.
Two-thirds Vote
Remember that it takes two

election. In any election thos
who oppose are always out in fore

consideration we have a bond is
sue of $4O,O to be raised in
district whose present valuation is
81, 100000. If this were to be
all raised in one year the levy
would be approximately 2 IA per
cent. But none of this money will
have to be raised for ten years, or
until the year 1922, and we will
then have ten years to pay far it in.
If the valuation of the district is
now 81, 700, 900, what will it be in
1922, and what again in 1882,
when the last of the $4,000 will
be paid2
Will it increase as fast in the
next twenty as it has in the past
twenty? You say it won't. Well,
will you think little? You will
All right. Do you expect to see
the valley reclaimed inside of TWEEN
ty years2 Why do you laugh? Oh,
you think that it will be reclaimed
inside of FIVE years. That's good;
we think so, too. Now, will that
land be worth any more than it is
nowl You say that it will be
worth three or four times as much.
Well, then, has not the valuation
of the school district increased
You hadn't figured it that way,
you say.
Will More Stump Land Be Cleared
How about the stump land? Are
the settlers clearing any more!
They are. Well, what are they
doing with it? Planting it to APP
pies, you say. Apple land is worth
a hundred times what raw stump
land is and in twenty years what
will the cleared acreage in this dis
trict be and what will be the price
per acre? Will these things in
crease the valuation of the district
Again, will this city in twenty
years be the same little old burg
that it is today? Did l hear yor
remark something about ten thou
sand? Well, then, will the valua
ton of the city be any greater thar
it is today?
Will Boomers Ferry Grow?
Twenty years ago the valuation
of this district was less than SO,

Isn't it?
