GEN. DIAZ ARRIVES
In VERA CRUZ, MEX.

Vera Cruz. Mex, Oct. 22.-A silent
crowd greeted General Felix Diaz on
mis- arrival here today. Diaa is popu-
lar in Vera Cruz and the people prob
ably would have liked to give him .
rousing welcome. Ii was the general
belief, however, that Provisional Pre-
sident Huerta's soldiers would inter-
pret any sign Of enthusiasm for Dlas
as an Anti-Huerta demonstration and
open fire.
No one doubted that Huerta looks
on Diaz AS dangerous rival. Even
II the latter withdrew his presidential
candidacy, It was believed Huerta
would still suspect him. Diaz' life
was considered In grave danger here,
but he nevertheless announced his
intention of going to Mexico City to-
morrow. He will be there In still
graver peril.
The circulation here last night OF
unsigned handbills announcing the
candidates. OF Huerta and Banquet
for president and vice-president re-
spectively was generally considered
a hint by Huerta to Diaz to with
draw from the race II the two are to
avoid clash.
Diaz was a passenger from Havana
on the German steamer Corcoravado.
General Diaz did not land imme-
dlatey. Up to the moment that the
steamer reached the quay he was
surrounded by an earnestly gesticu-
latlng group Of Huerta's representa-
tives engaged In an effort to persuade
him TO stay on board This party had
boarded the liner some distance Oh
Vera Cruz from the gunboat Tara
gosa. They would be perfectly will
ing to have the general land, they
explained, any time after the Sunday
elections. BY remaining on the Cor
coravado until then, however, they
asserted, the struggle at the polls
would be greatly simplified. and
Diaz' forbearance might even avert
national crisis.

INSTITUTE WAS ATTENDED By
$50 PEDAGOGUES
CONTINUED THREE DAYS
instructors Included State Superin.
tendent Churchill and Other
Educators OF Note


ers Of Josephine and Jackson counties
opened this morning with a registra
tion of about 250. The first address
of the session was given by Hon. E.
e. Blanchard, in which he discussed
as his topic, "As Seen From the Out
side" taking up the general school
teaching proposition as it is seen by
the outside observer. The most
pressing idea urged by Mr.. Blanchard
for the successful conduction of an
educational institution was that the
pupils should be trained carefully In
thoroughness. This, he said, Is the
very foundation of all successful
work ano the only one upon which
may be built real and thorough edu-
cation. AS the chief part Of this train
ing in thoroughness, Mr. Blanchard
emphasized a complete mastery OF
good reading, in which the reader
grasps the full significance OF the
authors meaning. To this failure in
the comprehension of the true mean
ing of what may be written is ascribed
the difficulty encountered in other
branches, where a clear perception
would offer a ready solution.
Another phase Of school manage
ment discussed by Mr.. Blanchard was
that of discipline, which he declared
was largely dependent upon the teach
er and generally was not so much the
nature of the pupils themselves, for
in many cases where one personality
would succeed another might fall.
Thus teachers must each study their
particular class or school and work
out the problem of discipline accord
ingly.
Miss Agnes Jones, Palmer writ
ing EXPERT, followed with discussion
of the Palmer system, closing the
morning session.
Following the general assembly in
the afternoon, department sessions
we're taken up for some time. In the
primary department, language was
discussed by Miss Ruby Shearer, the
primary specialist, and writing by
Miss Jones. J. A. Churchill superin-
tendent of public instruction, took up
discussion of ciyics and Miss Jones
of writing, for the intermediate and
advanced divisions For the higher
department, Principal +. E. Moore OF
the Ashland high school spoke OF
Science in High Schools" and NJ S.
Pittman of the Oregon normal school
discussed Personality" as his sub
iect H. H. Wardrip, Of the local
manual training department, c. w
Frost of the Medford department, and
o. Klum of Ashland discussed hand
work. In the rural department, Miss
Shearer spoke of THE First Day"
In the following general assembly
NJ. S. Pittman addressed the institute,
taking as his topic, THE Chiefest Re-
quisite"
A reception for the visiting teach
ers will be given this evening in the
Skillman and Lawrence hall by the

WORK ON THE NEW
RAILROAD Is INSPECTED

A great many people took adyau.
'ase OF the opportunity offered by
tue Ofheial Railroad Day to go out
over the railroad grade and inspeot
the work that has been done. Mum.
eFous automobiles were at the service
OF the public, and every one who de-.
sired was taken out. Those who saw
the work for the first time were
asreeably surprised at the amount
ana the excellence of what has been
accomplished with the funds that
have yet been available. They saw
completed road bed ready for the
Ties and the rails for the greater part
Oh the distance to the Applegate river,
the character OF the roadbed causing
much comment as to the workman
like manner in which 1t had been pre-
pared. The culverts are all in place,
the tiling being the product of the
local Cement Products factory.
Mass Meeting Postponed
The mass meeting, which was to
have been held at the opera house
Tuesday evening, was postponed till
Wednesday evening, this being deem
ed best because Of the clash with the
teachers institute meetings, which
many desired to attend. The mass
meeting will be held Wednesday ev-
ening, and every voter is urged to

At the last afternoon session of the

his topic and showed the great re-

ties that have come to this class OF

we're contrasted with present require
ments, and the exceptional chances
for the introduction Of progressive

FAVORABLE ACTION By GRANTS
PASS ON THE ISSUE
967 OUT OF 1853 FOR BONDS
Line viii BE Completed Through to
Wilderville at Once with Pro-
ceeds from Bond Sale

The booming of the cannon and
the changing of bells following the
count of the ballots Thursday night
told the public that Grants Pass had
again given her vote in favor OF the
municipal bond issue for the building
of the railroad to Wilderyille. the
first unit of the line to the coast
Out of the 1853 votes cast In the four
wards of the city. 967 were In favor
of the issue, this representing per-
centage of SS1S supporting the pro-
position. Last December 1892 votes
were cast on the same issue, OF which
number 62 we're negative votes,
Thursdays election being held to cor
feet features in the issue that the
supreme court had declared Illegal.
The vote by wards was as follows
First Ward-Total vote cast, 373;
for the bonds, 1926; against, A.
Second Ward-Total vote, 34b;
for, 29O; against, A.
Third Ward-Total vote, 1876; for,
147; against. 2S.
Fourth Ward-Total vote, 2b4,
for, 205; against, AS.
Total vote, 1853; for, 967 against,
ITO.
The vote in all the wards was light,
only about two-thirds of the possible
vote going to the polls. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that there
was little doubt in the public mind
as to the outcome of the election,
though 1t was notable that those op-
posed to the bonds were active, and
undoubtedly polled all the vote that
could be mustered in the city against
the issue. A few ballots in each
ward were spoiled by being wrongly
marked. so that the total count does
not quite tally with the number cast.
AS soon as the result was made
known the cannon was brought out,
and until midnight 1t Numbered out
its message to the people, while the
fire truck was raced through the
streets with its bells changing and
its siren sounding. Crescent City had
been keeping the wire hot to learn
the outcome at the earliest possible
moment, the news OF the favorable
vote creating about as much jubila-
tion there as 1t did in Grants Pass.
Even before the votes had all been
counted DR.. Reddy, confident OF the
action of the voters In validating the
issue, was en- route for Portland and
Spokane, where II is believed that
the bonds will be placed at once, and
the completion OF the line TO Wilder
Vile will be rushed without further
delay. The heavy favorable vote will
also have a great influence upon the
financing of the balance OF the line
to Crescent City, and definite deyel-
opments are expected in that direc-
tion

the country teacher Of the future
may further capitalize this fact to her
advantage by building up a course
in her school that is adapted to the
district she may teach. This, In fact,
calls for a teacher who is a specialist
in her line, for the greatest good can
be done only where the teacher has
initiative and the ability to conform
her ideas to the environment, making
the course in her school At In with
the needs OF the district.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
TALKS TO TEACHERS

At the general meeting of the in
stitute in the high school auditorium
Tuesday evening, President Camp
bell OF the state university addressed
the assembly after short program.
Mr.. Campbell gave his topic as The
Oregon System" and showed the Vi
tai relationship between the great
political system that has come TO be
so designated and the educational
system of the state. He showed
the great political liberties that are
placed in the hands of the voters by
the adoption of the system, but i'm
pressed the fact that liberties are
not to be taken as license, and be-
cause OF the ease with which the
bounds CT safety may be crossed this
very phase OF the question must be
most guarded against.
An Oregon Movement
This great progressive step in pol
itics is thus accredited to Oregon
because its first extensive trial was
given here, and being known as the
Oregon system its progress and sue
cess is being most closely watched in
this state by the rest Of the nation,
and even throughout the world. SO
even greater responsibility is thus
cast upon every citizen of Oregon,
and this step taken, its success must
be assured. The only way in which
the intricacies and responsibilities OF
the system can be made part OF the
peoples fundamental knowledge OF
their own state government ID
through the educating of the whole
people along progressive lines that
will make them comprehend all mat
ters of such import.
Education Necessity
This plainly deyolves upon the
public school system, as Mr.. Camp
bell says, for II the people of this
state are to be accorded the greatest
liberties in their government they
must assuredly be the best educated
citizens of any state, for never have
good citizenship and good govern
ment been found where great indi
vidual liberties of government wer'
supported by an ignorant populace
Then, as President Campbell further
says, to meet this pressing deman(
for more efficient education radica
changes and progressive methods
must be introduced into our entire
system of schools, and with an In
telligent, thinking citizenry there
need be no doubts as to the success
of our great state government.
The first number on the program
given at the meeting was selection
by the Ligh school orchestra, ant
was followed by a song by little Car
Busch. A song by the Girls Gle
club was then followed by selection
by the Boys Quartet. The frs
grade pupils rendered their Sunbeam
song, and the program was concluded
by selection by the Boys and Girls
Glee clubs together.

HAROLD SCHILLING MEETS
DEATH WHILE FISHING
AT WHITE ROCK RAPIDS
Body in River 4S HOurs-Was Re.
covered by Diver Wednesday
in 15 Feet of Water
(From Mondays Daily.)

Rogue river today claimed another
victim, and the body of Harold, IL.
year-old son of VIM. Schilling, propri-
etor of the Schilling Mercantile Com
psny, lies somewhere in the deep
eddy at the White Rocks, just above
town.
Young Schilling and Cecil Wittorf,
aged 10, son of o. f. Wittorff, were
fishing in the White Rocks rifle near
the rock crusher, having waded out
into the rapid. Wittorff's foot be-
came entangled in a cable on the
bottom Of the stream, and Harold
offered him his fishing pole to assist
In loosening 1t. In the transfer of
the pole, Harold slipped on the rocks
and was washed into the deep pool
below. Wittorff, who is a good swim
mer, at once went to the rescue of his
comrade, and at one time had him
near shore, but was taken beneath
the water time and again by the lad
whom he was attempting to save. He
fought the water for 200 or 300 feet,
and when nearly overcome drew him
self into shallow water, where he was
rescued by other boys and was soon
resuscitated and taken to his home.
Sehilling, however, was carried down
the rapid for 200 yards into the
swirl at the White Rocks, where his
body was seen several times before
1t finally disappeared in the eddy
where the water is about fifteen feet
In depth. Assistance was at once at
hand, and every endeavor was put
forth to find the body while there was
yet hope of bringing back the breath
Of life. Brothers of the unfortunate
lad led in the search and the river
bottom was dragged. Once Carl Gent
ner brought the body nearly to the
surface of the water from his boat,
1t then being between the current
and the White Rocks, but 1t was lost
from the grapple and the search was
continued, a number of boats work
ing over the water.
The drowned boy had been resi-
dent Of Grants Pass but few weeks
having come here with his father
VIM Schilling, who month ago pur-
chased the general merchandise es-
tablishment of the r. L. Coe COMPANY
and removed here from Long Beach,
California. He was unable to swim
and as soon as he lost his footing In
the swift current was at the mercy oil
the water, which there is most treacn-
erous with its eddies and pools, the
White Rock rapid having claimed
many victims in the past years
The parents and brothers and SIS
ters or the drowned lad are grief
stricken at the sad occurrence and
the sympathy and the assistance OF
the community are being extended
