mere placing of a great horde
OF persons in the classified SER
vice was not in conformity with
the spirit of the civil service, as
there were no tests to determine
the merits of the applicants.
The new order, which substan-
tally amends the Taft executive
order, retains in the classified
service all fourth-class postmas-
ters, but specifically requires a
competitive examination and a
selection by postoffice inspectors
from among the first three elig-
ible applicants. The order places
the age limit for appointees at
65 years.
The Spokane Chronicle says:
Approximately $4,000 will be
spent by the county and state
this summer on the North road.
and when completed Spokane
county will have a network of
modern highways that will equal
anything on the coast. The
county commissioners have just
advertised for bids for the con-
struction of 7.03 miles Of high
way, beginning at a point II
miles from the city limits and
extending in the direction of
Deer Park. Bids will be opened
by the commissioners May %,
and the new highway will be
completed by Oct. 1. The COM
missioners have almost completed
the Sunset boulevard to the Lin
coin county line at cost of about
S194, 900. The great Apple way,
running east to the Idaho line,
has already been completed at a
cost of $45,000.

Postmaster General Burleson
has announced that an executive
order would be issued requiring
that all fourth class postmasters
now in Office, or candidates for
prospective appointments should
be subjected to a competitive ex-
animation to determine their fit

master general issued a state

the new executive order, declar-

in putting the fourth h-class post

Stairless stairways are being
installed in new schools in Spo-
kane and are giving satisfaction.
The stairs simply are built with
a medium incline and a flat sur
face, eliminating steps. NotIonly
are they hailed as an agency to
prevent breaking down the health
of the children, but they are con-
sidered much better in crises
such as panics.
I'VE find the stairless stairway
is a great improvement" says
School superintendent Bruce M.
Watson. "The strain of climb
ing placed upon growing children
is relieved, and believe the dan
ger of piling up in case of panic
is greatly lessened. The new
stairs take up twice the space of
the old ones. Despite this we
have installed them in the new
Francis Willard grade school, and
will put them in the Whittier
school. The school architect has
received a great many inquiries
regarding the inclined stairs from
different parts of the country,
where schools are. planning to
use them."

the age to command foreign ad-

has the reputation of being ex-

newspaper ventures in Hayti we
know of three newspaper men
who left town between two suns
and never returned, and we know
OF about - people in Hayti who
have had their fingers burned
pretty badly monkeying with
newspapers, going on notes, put.
ting up money, etc, and we can
publish their names and prove
the fact by them. But of course
some people will never profit by
experience We were intending

going to stay with them to the

1t seems that our school board
is up against a hard proposition.

the steam heating plant should

at Charlottesville, it seems, in

is to be hoped that something
may be done to protect our
schools. l.. l.. Letler and Guy
Sanders of the school board,
went over Friday, and presented
the county treaSurer's check for
$4,000, but the same was turned
down, and, what is worse, no de-
tinate information could be OBJ
tanned. 1t is said the bonding
company refuses to pay the loss
except at the end of the law, and,
while the amount was over S4OO,-
10000, the bond is for only $500
10000, or 500, 100000 less than
the amount of the county's
funds. This is a deplorable state
of affairs. 1t is said that Hayti
and Charlottesville may be the
only two districts in the county
to have IA term of school this
year, unless the citizens put up
the money. 1t is difficult to ven.

best to do. 1t seems the people
