HOLDS POOR OPINION
 OF ORDINARY TEXT BOOKS

PORTLAND, Ore, April Al. Willis Jetfries believes formal grammar and rhetoric text books should be discarded from public schools This belief and the fact that Jeffries taught his English classes from the contents of current magazines and popular novels, constituted "evil influence
 incompetence and insubordination' in the eyes of the Portland school board Today Professor Jeffries is out of a job, but his influence is still felt in Portland educational circles. In the midst of his hearing before the board which by unanimous vote had disapproved his methods Jeffries resigned
 Since resigning Jeffres has spent most of his evenings featuring about town on the subject of reforms in the teaching of English books on grammar and rhetoric and learn in the high schools. Forget your text English by reading Stevenson, modern au
 thors and current literature" says Jeffries
 No great man ever condescended tC write a text book, and the authors of technical texts on grammar and rhetoric are penny a-Iners compared with the authors whose work is published in popular magazines" he continued Jeffries referred to his ac- cugers as "crustaceans" and "troglodytes" :"

POSSIBILITY OF GRAND JURY
 BEING CALLED IN IDITAROD

While it has been understood for some time past that grand jury was not to be called to meet in Iditarod during the com ing term of court here, it is possible that Judge Bunnel may yet decide to take such action. There is at least one case which is likely to come before a grand jury, and it is possible that there may be more. The cost of transporting witnesses to and from Ruby, together with the loss Of tune en- tailed in such procedure, makes 1t rather a serious matter for those who may be summoned, and as matter of economical expenditure of Uncle Sam's money 1t ap- pears that to hold grand jury session here would be preferable. While nothing of a definite nature has been communicated to the officials here, Deputy Marshal Charles has laid the matter before the Fairbanks officials, and it would not be surprlslng II the grand jury were decided upon,

The MeckIenburq Declaration

Mecklenburg county, North Carolina the historic spot which President Wilson hon ored with his presence on Saturday last, has had most interesting history It was the birthplace of two former Presidents, Andrew Jackson, born in 1167, and James k Polk, born in l775. The town of Char lotte dates from l765, and the county of Mecklenburg was created nj 1762. The first white settlement was made in 172O. The early settlers were mainly Scotch, Irish, German and English The first vacations of the white settlers were in the main agri- cultural but from the first settlements such crafts as Smithing, wheelwrighting spinning and weaving were practlccd. These and other primitive manufactures were rapidly developed and enlarged. In the second half of the Eighteenth century the Piedmont re zion of the South became mere fiourlshng ill manufactures than any other part Ot the Union Blast furnaces rolling mills ma chine shops. wooden factories, cotton fac tories hat factories, wagon and carriage factories gun shops, and many other manu- featuring interests grew in numbers and i'm portsnce The colonists built to great pros perity They felt hampered by restrictions of the king and parliament in England and they resisted these restrictions Increasing liScontent made increased resistance. and on May 20. 1775, convention of Mccklen- burg county met in Charlotte and made 8 declaration of independence of the king. On May 3l following a series of resolutions was passed defining method of govern ment of the county by its own people The convention which adopted the declaration and resolutions was held at midnight, and represented each militia company in the county. The general tenor was that of the immortal Declaraton of Independence adopted more than year later by the thir- teen colonies

BOUND FOR TOLSTOI
 CARRY SOME PASSENGERS
 AND CONSIDERABLE FREIGHT

During the past week the first departures by water for the new diggings on the Tol- stoi river took place. and several vessels, carrying a number of passengers and con siderable consignments of freight, got away. As was anticipated, there was no great rush apparent, and those who are looking to the new camp with hopeful eyes seem deter mined to await new developments before making venture. It is realized that the prospecting so far done has not been very extensive, and what has been uncovered in the way of pay does not yet warrant it being regarded as a certainty that a new camp of any size will be established The accounts 8ll agree however, that the pros poets are bright, and 1t would not be at all surprising at any time to hear news which will cause great influx of people to the district There have been no arrivals from the district during the past week, and there fore there is nothing in the way of news to be related and probably will not be until some of the boats which left this week re turn.
 The first vessel to get away for the new strike was the Nancy Bell, in charge of Fred Soule and Earl Byers. She had six passen- gers and large quantity of freight, the lat ter principally for H. H. Porter, who is establishing branch store at Cooper, in charge of Tom Dean, who accompanied the consignment Others on board were: Mrs. Dominck Soraci, George Mutchler and Dep uty Marshall Billy Thomas. The Nancy Bell got away onMonday morning
 A party of Flat creek people, headed by MT. Cameron, of the firm of Finnegan x Cameron, also got away on Monday morn ing. They took small boat equipped with an Evinrude engine. Prior to their de parture they had stroke of misfortune in the overturning of their boat and the loss of some of their effects.
 On Tuesday evening the Ruby Tamarack, in charge of Jim Haley and Bob Griffis, left for the new camp. She had consider able freight and several passengers, among whom were Earl Hunt, Silas McGonigle, Van Falkenburg, Frank Morgan and Joe Kean. Messrs Grfis X Haley are embark ing in the merchandising business at Cooper. Mir Morgan is taking over 8 restaurant outfit Messrs. McGonigle and Kean are taking in outfits to work claims held by them.
 John Currin and E. J. Smith left Monday night with the Ruth. They had small freight consignment.
 Several small craft have either left or are making preparations to leave in the near future.

COMPLIMENTS AGREEMENT
 AS TO JAP IMMIGRATION
 TOBE GIVEN LEGAL STATUS

WASHINGTON, April 10. Recent dis cussion of the Burnett immigration bill i'll the house of representatives has brought out the expected attack on the hteracy teS! clause With reference to that portion of the bill dealing with Asiatlc exclusion 1t has developed that the state department has withdrawn its opposition to clause embodying legislative recognition ot the so- called requirements agreement" under which Japan restricts emigration to this country Announcement to that effect was made by Representative Burnett because oppo- nents of the bill had urged that the de nartment was opposed to new provisions as to Asatics. It has become known also that the Japanese embassy, while opposed to any such legislation, probably will not protest against it.
 The immigration bill, similar to measures vetoed by Presidents Taft and Wilson on account of the literacy test feature, was taken up with indications pointing to an early vote on the measure It Is most con- prehensive, designed to perfect and extend existing laws.
 The literacy test adds to the excluded classes under the present law all aliens more than 16 years of age, physically capable ot reading, who cannot read the English Ian guage, or another language or dialect, in cluding Hebrew or Yiddish, with certain ex- captions as to relatives already here. Ihls has been the target of attack.
 Representative Hayes of California, who made the principal argument for the ASlauc exclusion provisions said:
 This bill does not change conditions with reference to the Asiatic who comes, or has been coming, to the United States, except the Hindu. He is the only man whose status will be changed by this bill It will not change the Japanese arrangement at all. The only thing that actuates the peo- pie of the Pacific coast is to protect them selves-frst from the menace of the Or!en- tal in the commercial sense. Our people cannot compete with them The Oriental can work and live and grow rich upon that upon which the Caucasian would starve Secondly, and almost as important, is that we do not desire to see imported upon the Pacific coast another race ques- tion. We want all the races that are not akin to ours to be prevented from coming here in large numbers. We are perfectly willing that the students, travellers, scientific and business men of Japan and of all the Orient shall be allowed to come to this country freely
