credited with only 1863 people.

that such experience does not
recommend a man for the SUI
perintendency of schools in a
town that boasts of being the
biggest place of its size in the
world. Did our school board
look up the size of the Mime
sofa towns where their man
served as superintendent"
There is justice in the Sug-
gestion that before closing any
contract for a superintendent
the school board should further
investigate the matter, Pen
dleton is entitled to this con-
sideration. The school board
will make a further mistake if
it fails to heed plain manifes-
tations of protest to be heard
on every hand.

FURTHER CONSIDERATION
DEMANDED

~ HE more the matter is con-
VI sidered the more evident
it becomes that the
school board blundered in max
ing a hasty selection of a new
school superintendent. Com
plant against the attitude of
the board is we'll nigh unani-
nous. What is more it must be
clear to anyone seeking the
facts that the criticism is not
based on any move to reinstate
Mr.. Hampton or on antagonism
to Mr.. Park. The chief desire
now is to protect the interests
of Pendleton and the welfare
of the Pendleton public schools.
There is a pronounced and
emphatic sentiment to the eff
feet the city needs a strong, ex-
perienced man for superin-
tendent. The demand is for
man with qualifications and
with a record that will assure
prestige and guarantee US a
forceful, efficient administra-
ton of affairs. There is senti-
ment against a low salary su-
perintendent and in favor of
offering a salary equal to those
paid by other eastern Oregon
town of Pendleton's popula-
ton.
1t is but truthful to say the
record of the man elected by
the board is not inspiring con-
fidence. The record shows
that Hermiston and Myrtle
Point are the largest towns in
which he has taught. The

a OR a time there was real
danger of a break with
~ Mexico. A single false
step by our administration
would have arrayed all the
Mexican factions against us,
Had war come it is said 500.
GOO men would have been re-
quired. The war would have
cost us many millions of dollars
and the final victory would
have proved a liability rather
than an asset to this country.
How fortunate for the Uni
ted States we have a president
who follows the true ideal of
AmericaniSm, a man to whom
even the discouraged and oft
betrayed MeXicans look with
confidence. 1t is true we are
not yet out of the woods.
Trouble may yet ensue, But
the start is auspicious and the
outlook is bright for the proper
solution of the Mexican prob
lem without any war with that
country. If that hope is real
lied it will be another tribute
to the craftsmanship of Wood
row Wilson.

TEN MILLION DOLLARS is
NOTHING

m CCORDING to the Portland
II Journal there is news
from Washington that the
matter of giving Oregon 80 per
cent of the land grant money
is in doubt and congress seems
disposed to give this state only
40 per cent. Meanwhile Ore
gon is in the midst of a great
silence" on Ihe subject.
What a situation when the
disposition of this matter
means millions of dollars to the
school fund of the state. If we
can get 40 per cent for the
school fund it will mean ap.
proximately $10,OOO,0OO more
for our schools than if we get
only 20 per cent.
Yet the only newspaper sup
port for the public in this mat
ter has been by a few indie
pendent papers like the East
Oregonian and the Portland
Journal. Most of the Oregon
press has been silent or openly
contending for the side of the
railroad and the timber grab
bers.
Most of the states political
brigadiers have been striving
valiently to prevent the state
from getting any share of this
property. Their idea was to
give it to the railroad company
in spite of the supreme courts
decree. The action of Senator
Chamberlain and other repu-
table men in congress has
blocked that game and it is
now a question whether oul
school fund shall get approx
mately S10,000,0O0 from the
grant or approximately $780,
100000.
1t is a large sum that is at
stake. Oregon should be more
awake. The state could af-
ford to send a train load of
boosters to Washington to aid
Senator Chamberlain in his
fight. Instead of such action
there is great silence" and the

ROARING WATER
ROUSES MAKIKI
TRACT SLEEPERs
FIume Breaks at $3.50 in Morn
ing, and Muddy Torrent
Does Lot of Damage

Roaring, surging waters awoke the
residents of the Makih tract early
this morning and called them in ex.
cited groups on to the yerandas and
into the streets.
The Makiki fiume broke about $3.50
O'Clock, and all the drainage from
the mountains above flooded down
past the fire station and under the
bungalow homes in the newly opened
tract Telephone calls from the fire
station awakened those who we're not
already up and about, and soon the
whole neighborhood was dressed and
waiting for the food to either come
swirling in the windows or run of.
H. E. Wescott, the city purchasing
agent. has his home in the direct path
of the diverted waters and was one
of the first to be aroused by the boom
of the oncoming water. THE firemen
offered to come over and help erect
q barricade in front of the house to
divert the waters, but ! figured that
would only get someone else in trou.
Bile, so just thanked them and made
ready to leave in hurry" he said
this morning.
Valuable ferns, palms and other
plants were carried from Wescott's
yard by the flood and a number of
trunks stored under the house had
their contents ruined by the dirty
water. Wescott says that the city will
have to pay him for the damage done
by the food and threatens to bring
suit If il refuses.
Il went under the house with q
fiashlight to look after my trunks,
which contain a number of valuable
keepsakes that no money can pay
for. and found water squirting up
against the bottom of the house." he
says. Il thought at first that water
main was broken, but found that the
flood had undermined the stone foun-
dation of the house and was running
under it. II was only Saturday that
repairs made necessary by the last
flood were completed. and today my
house is standing on four corners
again as result of the city's neg.
lect to strengthen the fiume."

ESTIMATES FOR
LUSITANA WORK
Concrete Construction More
Costly Than Warrenite
Was Figured to Be

When bids were opened at noon to-
day at the city hall on the Lusitana
paving, il was found that all of the
three bids for concrete construction
ran above the engineers estimate by
"a comparatively large amount.
It was found also that the figure on
warrenite, which was made by ]. A.
Gilman months ago, is much below
the bids today and well within the en-.
gineer's estimate. The supervisors
and the superintendent of public
works, however, had rejected warren
ite.
The figures in the bids today were:
Lord Young Engineering Co., $685..
$685. Spalding Construction Co., $685..
SIS. F. R. Richie & Co., $41,440.2S.
Engineers estimate, $34,S47.50.
On the warrenite pavement Gilman
estimated the cost of this contract at
$34,S47.5 which he later reduced to
$33,0S3. Both offers we're rejected.
The county cannot accept the lowest
bid today without making up the diff
ference out of city funds between the
engineers estimate and the amount of
the bid, about $500.

CITY OFFICIALS
Wide Interest Attracted BY
Candidacy of Gill, Once Re-
called, Later Reelected
rpy Associated Pressl

SEATTLE, Wash. March THE
election of city officials, held in Sc
attic today, attracted more than local
interest, partly because Of the candi-
dacy of Mayor Hiram G. Gill, known
all over the United States because OF
his recall and subsequent reelection.
Opposing Mayor Gill in his candidacy
for reelection was Austin E. Griffiths,
wealthy retired lawyer, born in Eng
land. Griffiths has served the city
as councilman and as chief of police.
The election k61ay Is pr0xing to be
the auietest Of years Rain Is fall
ing and there is little lively interest
in the contest.
Mayor ellis participation in Seattle
politics began Is years ago wheE at
the age of 80 years, he was elected to
the citl council Since then he has
been councilman or mayor most OF
the time. He was elected mayor in
1910 and recalled by the votes of the
newly enfranchised women IN 1911 be-
cause of scandals in the police depart
ment. He ran again In 1912 and was
defeated In 1914 he was elected
mayor by 1900 majority. Last month
he was renominated by majority OF
5000 over all other candidates.
Other offices and candidates for
them at today's election are:
Corporation Counsel-Jas. E. Brad

bent), unopposed.

All candidates promised good govern

Charter amendments for preferen-
