amended in one of the sections to
make the appointment of trustees by
the governor annual. Under the origi.
nal provisions of the act there was no
time limit for service of trustees.
Other amendments struck out the
word section" as the title to divisions
of the bill, but did not alter the effect.
The senate had passed the measure
in its original form, and 1t now goes
to the governor. It bears the number
%, but Senator Sheath does not be-
lieve this an i'll omen.
The bill will not become law until
sixty days after the governor signs it.
It provides for state payments to a
monther of a monthly sum, in some
cases SO or s12, for the support of
child.
The Sheath bill provides monthly
payment to INDECENT widowed OF
abandoned mothesr for partial support
of their children in their own homes
The measure proposes state appro
priation for the maintenance of such
children, the cities benefting to con
tribute an amount equal to the allot
ment by the state.
The bill would override the act OF
May 81, 1907, over which controver
sy arose in the juvenile court In Phil
adelphia before Judge ey, when
the question was argue cher the
present law could be so construed a.
to allow the county to pay for the sup.
potr OF three INDECENT children at their
home instead of making them public
dependents in an institution.
The new bill provides that the gov.
ernor shall appoint not fewer than
five nor more than seven women resi-
dents Of the cities of the first, second
and third class, to act as trustees te
carry the act into effect.
The bill proposes an appropriation
Of 100000 by the state, $4,000 OF

New School Bldg.
Attracts Outside =
Towns.

Friday of last week Mr.. w. B.
Hardy, Chairman OF the Rupert
School Board, together with DR..
kennegy, and one other member
of the board whose name this
paper could not get arrived in
Oakley for thepurpose OF iewing
he new public school building,
Their home town has voted
bonds for the construction of a
building and the board members
were visiting here to see the class
of building oakley has erected.
They were delighted and espec-
tally the very attractive rock
work which forms the basement
walls to the first story and which
also furnishes the trimmings of
the building throughout, They
pronounced it the best building
IN the State.
These are not the only ones
who have made similar state
pents as visitors of all classes
and purposes who view the struc-
ture pronounce it the most beau
tlful in architecture of anything
III the state of its kind
The rock work is without an
equal and towns on the outside
would do well TO secure this
stone for building if they want
something that beauties and at
the same time is a product of the
earth which is not subject to
change of color.
There are several shades of the
rock from a light pink to a very
deep pink and harmonizes well
with light brick of any kind.

public were invited and a very
enjoyable time was reported by
many attending.

an attentive audience, Mrs.

on the violin that were also very
entertaining to all present.
On Wednesday a special pro,

in honor of Abraham Lincoln.
The first selection America
was sung by the school, and the
selection "Just before the battle

Lincoln was given by Madison

Rabbit Drives
Helpful.

The rabbit drive on Saturday
last was an evidence that the
former drives were very beneficial,
as the number of the furry pests
were not as much in evidence as
on former drives. The farmers
living or the outskirts also state
that they notice great difference
in the number OF rabbits since
the drives have been made.
There is still one more place
that a drive should be made
and that is south of town, 1t
appears that the killing of those
in the lower end of the valley
has not had the effect above as
else where and those who have
visited above report a great
many of them there. 1t is also
very close to town and a large
crowd could join IN the drive
without much effort and the good
that can be accomplished is fore
seen by what has been done.
The drive on Saturday resulted
in killing it is estimated, from
1000 to 1900. This means about
that many thousands less for the
coming year.

Cold Wave in
North.

From reports going out there
seems to be another cold wave
going over the country especially
In the northern part of the United
States. In portions of Montana
the temperature registered &c
degrees belowzero. This no doubt
is the second cold wave that
usually passes over the country
during the winter months, after
which there may be expected a
decided change in the weather.
Within the next two or three
weeks it is quite likely to break
up, which will undoubtedly be
followed by spring weather in
this section oweing to the steady
cold weather that has prevailed
since last December. Farmers are
getting anxious to see a change
IN the weather so that work can
be started again.
1t there is any truth in the
ground hog" story it will be
something over four weeks before
spring opens, but then there is
to all rules.

Contracts Let
for moving
Tabernacle Hill
WIDE RANGE IN BIDS,

Tuesday evening the Village
Board met as per adjournment
and opened the bids for moving
the Tabernacle Hill.
In all there were eight bids
filed. The distance which the
specifications called for moving
the gravel was within a radius
of practically one mile. Most of
this amount was within close
range of the point Of removal.
From Wilson Ave: on the east to
the Oregon Short Line Depot on
the west,
The bids as submitted were as
follows;
F. W. Larson. per cubic yard
$50.
7. A. Johnson, per cubic yard
$50.
Vim. Davidson Jr. per cubic
yard $.441a.
]. R, Butler. per cubic yard
$.4212.
Reed A, Boren, per cubic yard
$40.
John Marsh, per cubic yard
$.37ka.
D. B. Wilson. per cubic yard
$,371a.
Abe Critchheld per cubic yard
$.321a.
The difference between the high
est and lowest bidder was $.27E
and the estimated amount OF
gravel to be moved is 5000 cubic
yds., or a total difference in dol
lars OF S165O.
A number of bidders were some
what dubious of the meeting
with considerable frost which
doubtless prevented them from
going as low as they would have
otherwise have done.
The contract calls for the work
to be done by the first OF Nav
and when completed all gravel is
to be leveled up in smooth condi-
tion and all rocks covered or
hauled away.
1t is expected that this removal
of gravel to places so much in
need of it on our streets that a
great Improvement will be reali-
zed upon the highways Of the
village.
Work will commence at once
and pushed to completion within
the time specified.
