SECOND APPoRTIoNMENT OF
COUNTY AND STATE SCHOOL
FUNDS FOR YEAR.
COUNTY HAS GOOD SCHOOLS
superintendent j. Staley Makes State
ment of School Conditions as Found
During His Term.

The second apportionment of the
year in apportionment money from the
county and state among the school dis
tricts of the county has just been COM
pleted by Superintendent J. J. Staley.
Apportionment of school moneys do not
go FAR IN providing funds for the hold
ing of regular school terms, especially
in Idaho county. In few districts no
special levy for school purposes is made.
In these districts there is large
amount of taxable property and a
large school population.
In this respect conditions vary
throughout the county. Sites has
good many school children but the In.
dian lands cut down the amount of
taxable property and necessarily the
income for support of the school. There
the highest levy possible must be made
to keep the school going for the mini
mum time required by law. Grange
vile also experiences difficulties in
raising the required income to MAINTAIN
a school of the highest efficiency and
to afford all the educational advan-
tages which high school should afford.
Grangeyille is supporting one of the
best schools of the state and it's school
is equal to amy of the high schools in
larger places within the state. This is
no vain brag and the statement is
authoritatively backed up by one of
its last years graduates winning the
Harvard college scholarship prize, in
competition with graduates of the
larger schools such as Boise. The
young man who won this honor for him.

PRELIMINARY HELD LAST THURS
DAY-sTATE PUT FOUR WIT
NESSES ON STAND-ONE
BROUGHT FROM OREGON.

The preliminary hearing of Earl
Steen and j. HI. Miller was held before
Judge l.. Vineyard last Thursday and
as a result of the hearing both of the
gentlemen were bound over to answer
on charge of grand larceny for steal
ing horses, at the fall term of the dis
trict court.
Four witnesses were put on by the
state and the defense offered no tes-
tlmony whatever. The state proved the
ownership of the horses described in
the complaint, one black horse and a
black mare, were the property of the
Vollmer Clearwater Company and had
been in the charge of Victor Lowell
who lives about three and half miles
from Sites. Proof of ownership was
made by the testimony of Mr.. Lowell.
1t was shown that the horses dis
appeared some time in March and that
they were found later in Oregon near
Enterprise, having been sold to Henry
Il. Zumwalt of that state Mr.. Zum-
walt was present and testified at the
preliminary about the defendants bring.
ing the horses to his place and his trad
ing stallion for the two head in
question and some others which were
with the bunch. He also gave his note
FOR. $50 as a part of the consideration.
This note was later paid, Howard hav-
ing been sent over by the defendants to
collect it and he taking horse in salts
faction of the same.
The identity of Steen and Miller was
established by the man who ferried
them across the river when they took
the horses over into Oregon and also by |

poipts of the rs and the V to make an

and the attempt to trace the old brand
scars was bungled so that the old brand
mark showed.
Howard, who collected the note, is al.
90 charged with grand larceny and his
preliminary is continued over to another
date. Earl Steen formerly stood trial
for grand larceny some time ago and
was acquitted.

north AND SOUTH
ROAD ATTRACTS
ATTENTION
MOVE OF GOVERNOR ALExANDER
is GENERALLY VIEWED AS
BEING EFFECTIVE.
NEED OF ROAD RECOGNIZED
Interesting Summary of Recent Investi-
cations and Plans for Financing Pub
hshed in Coast Paper.

The efforts being put forth in pro-
noting the construction of north and
south railroad by Governor Alexander
and the members of the commission are
attracting favorable consideration on
the outside and are given space in many
newspapers. The following was pub
lished in a recent issue of the Portland
oregonian and is the matter in the way
OF publicity which the movement must
have to insure the building of the road.
Boise, Idaho, July 31.-Political
leaders say that the activities of Gov
ernor Alexander, in connection with
plans for construction of the missing
link of the North and South Idaho
railroad, has injected its building into
politics until it has become an issue that
all parties in 1916 must meet.
That the Governor has set his heart
on the building of the 90-mile link to
give North and South Idaho direct con.
nections is well known. His ardent
hackers deny that politics play any
part in his activities. His opponents
declare that it is the personal notoriety
he expects to acquire that inspires him.
The people generally, however, want
the railroad. built. If the Governor
can finance. and have it built they are
willing to give him all the credit,
whether his motives are political or
not. 1t is safe to say that great ma
jority of them do not take the poll
tical charge at all seriously. They be-
lieve the Governor is sincere.
Governor Acts ON Proposal.
The north and south railroad was
raised as an issue during one of the
administrations of. Governor Gooding.
Nothing definite came of it at that
time. The last Legislature revived it

Carl Guiott blind MUSICIAN of Pen
dleton whose sight was miraculously
restored to him Monday afternoon
yesterday held one continuous recep-
tion all day long on the streets of
Pendleton. Wherever he went he
was the center of attention as friends
and strangers alike crowded forward
TO shake his hand in eongratulatlon.
Today the eye to which the power
of vision returned seems a little
stronger than yesterday, and Mr.
Guiott thinks that gradually it will
become normal He does not intend
to subject it to any strain but at
the same time believes that constant
exercise of the nerve will benefit his
sight.
Mr. Guiott in the happiness of his
new-found vision. has declared for
himself a short holiday from work.
Yesterday afternoon he could not en-
tertain the thoughts of giving the
music lessons which he had sched-
uled. There is too much to see,"
he said.
To auto-suggestion Mr.. Guiott at.
tributes the restoration of his sight.
For the past several months he has
been concentrating his mental facui-
ties upon the recovery of his sight
and has taken a scientific course un.
der the direction of the Unity school
in Kansas. To the method of mental
science as taught by this school he
gives the credit of the miracle"
Since recovering his sight Mr.. Gut
oft has been enjoying some sensations
which come to but few. He is be.
coming acquainted with things with
which he as been familiar through
other senses for years. While blind
he had little difficulty IN walking
down the street with the aid of his
cane hut now finds that he has a
hard time directing his feet when he
watches his steps Il am like a
child" he said, learning TO walk.
The difference in the elevation OF
steps bothers me as 1t does a child
In reading, too. find that I have
almost forgotten some of the letters
Some Of them look strange to me and
I have to study them to make them
out"
He still carries the cane that was
his pathfinder for so many years but
it hangs on his arm now instead OF
tapping the walk ahead of him
In the story yesterday it was stat
ed that Mr. Guiott had never seen
his wife before Monday As a mat
ter of fact he had known her when
he had his eyesight, Before she was
his wife she was his pupil. But It
had been many years since he mad
seen her.
