ness, misfortune and even mcom-
petence, the most melting tenderness,
for honest convictions she enter
tanned the deepest respect, for cant
nothing but ridicule. To be Mrs.
Porter's friend was to share her wide
interest in the trend of world-events
and in humanity's progress; to
laugh at it's foibles chow contagious
that laugh and to deplore it's weak
ness 1t was to enter vast field of
speculation as to the races future
and to find her always in the lead,
always looking for and finding the
image of God in every fellow crea-
ture even though often blurred and
dim.
To those nearest her, the loss of
her visible presence seems and is an
irreparable one but it is we'll and
comforting to remember that she
said short time before her death:
81 believe that the hereafter is so
beautiful, so altogether satisfying
that God does not reveal it to us for
fear that we would not be willing
to endure life" Her favorite Scrip
ture quotation was: "Open thou
mine eyes that / may behold won
drous things out of thy law" Her
eyes have been opened forever.

Two G|endive Men
Have Narrow ESCAPE

One of the most remarkabl,
automobile accidents ever report
ed in this section of the state oc
Cured between the hours of 4 ane
5 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, Oct
18th, when the Ford automobile
driven by John Osland, Glendive
manager of the Hart-Parr COM
pany, and carrying one passenger,
R. E. Wing, the local photograph
| er, turned turtle on the valley
road near Intake and then righted
itself without killing or even SER
iously injuring either of the oc-
cupants of the car.
Mr.. Wing the photographer
who was accompanying Mr.. Osland
back 10 town from a business trip
to Crane and McCone Heights,
seeing the car was about to veer
over the elnbankment near the
little bridge just outside of Intake
jumped before the car left the
road and after the car had safely
passed the bridge. The car was
of the Runabout type with room
for only two persons, and Mr.. |
Wing, having the outside seat,
to get clear of the car
before it turned over. The acci-
lent happened SO quickly, how
ever, that Mr.. Osland, being a
arge man, was uaable to extricate
himself from behind the steering
Wheel and he went over with the
,ar.
The accident was similar to
hat which occurred to the big car

me man lost his life. When Mr..
Island saw that it was impossible j

LEGAL POWERS OF THE SCHOOL
BOARD.

The school board may have the
legal power to convey the title to the
present high school site, although
that is a question on which there is
a difference Of opinion. but that at
the time Of their election the patrons
of the district did not expect the
board to deal with the property of
the school district in the manner pro-
posed is a well known fact. There is
a vast distinction between the power
and authority of the directors of a
private corporation dealing with the
private funds Of its stockholders and
that of the directors Of public cor
poration dealing with public funds
or property belonging to it, compelled
hy law to be contributed to IL through
the power Of taxation. The directors
of a public corporation, and such are
the members of the school board.
have hut limited powers over the
property Of public corporations. No
power is given TO them by implica-
ton, and their authority to act must
be granted in express terms or It does
not exist There Is no more sacred
trust known to the law than a pub
lie trust.
The citizenship Of Tulsa, i'm its gen
erous support of its public school sys-
TEN mere than two years ago. voted
Cne-half million dollars Of money TO
be placed in the hands Of the school
board, to be used for the erection ana
equipment OF a new high school
building and for any necessary in
crease in the ward schools Of the
city Last year S25,OOO was collected
from the patrons of the district as
the first lnstalment Of interest due
on this bond issue, when the bonds
had i'm fact not been sold and this
money so collected could not in fact
be used for the payment Of interest.
Nevertheless. the public was COM
PEELED to make this additional con
tribution Of s25.000 to be expended
by the school board. But this is not
the most unfortunate circumstance
connected with the whole transaction.
Two years have passed since the au-
thorization Of the expenditure Of these
funds, and yet there is no progress
made towards the erection of a high
school building II was urged there
was an immediate necessity for addi-
tional high school facilities at the
time the bonds were voted. If that
was true. then the necessity has in
no wise diminished since that time.
but under one pretext and another
the erection OF the high school build
ing IS delayed
