SCHOOL BOARD
IN HOT WATER

The city School Board is in for
hot time again. The last meeting of
the Teachers Federation started
things and the flames have been grow
ing larger and hotter. At this meet
ing it was charged that politicians
connected with the Board of Educa-
ton are thriving on graft made In
deals of purchases. Miss Margaret
Haley, business agent of the fedora
ton, maintained that the federation
was trying to avoid trouble, but men
toned at that time that if they failed
| to get a salary boost from the $13,-
| 100000 additional revenue voted by
| the last general assembly they would
! fight Miss Haley spoke of criminal
activities against certain men and in
! timated at that time that an inveSti-
| CATION would be made.
Teachers reported that they had to
buy paper and other materials for
pupils while unnecessary furnishings
were forced upon the schools so that
some one could profit by it. Princi-
pals are said to have reported that
| they were not asked whether they
needed them; they were called on the
telephone and told to order them.
The teachers openly charged that
the school board was suppressing in
| formation regarding last years eX-
penditures and that some illegal pur-
chases were made from the building
fund.
1t is said that payments on emer-
gency repair work are being held up
at this time until the investigation is
well under way. Such bills have
leaped enormously in the last three
years. A jump of from $4,000 month
three years ago to $4,000 a month
for January. 1922, is causing great
anxiety among the board members.
'Tf the repairs keep increasing,
said Hart Hanson, a member of the
board. there will be no building fund
within five years. The cost of re
pairs, expenses and permanent equip
ment will soon eat up the entire
fund"
The building fund is made up OF
four divisions sites, buildings, re
pairs and permanent equipment the
costs of repairs are as large as the
cost of new buildings.
Political favoritism in the awarding
of printing contracts and the pur
: chasing of monographs from thu
building fund will also be investi
gated Machines of poor quality have
been bought, it is charged. The,
were not of a standard make an'
these purchases were made by com
: mittee in which one member took tn
| initiative

DUG UP POT OF COINS
Kentucky MouAtaineer, Poor All
His Life, UnearthS Fortune.
Gold Pieces Believed to Have Been
Buried Century Ago by Robbers
Who Preyed on Large Part
of Kentucky.

Somerset, Ky.-David Jones, forty
years old, of near here. a mountaineer
who has been poor all his life, now Is
ciassed as a rich man by hill country
standards.
While digging pit for sawn,.ll
In the Mount Victory section of PulfS-
Xxi county, Kentucky. Jones drove his
pick into the top of a pot. There,
arranged in orderly rows, was great
mass of gold coins.
The money WAS in ancient English
pieces. all more than 100 years old,
and Jones could not determine the
value OF his find. He called on an
expert from the state banking depart
ment, who assured Jones that the
gold was worth about $4,000.
Then arose the question of owner
ship. Finally Jones WAS informed
that If he kept the money u months
and no one WHO could prove owner
ship appeared. the fortune would be
his.
1t is believed by some that the
money was buried by robbers at least
100 years ago. The section is de-
clared at thar time to have been the
lair of a gang which preyod upon
large part of the state and used Pu-
laski county as place for hiding their
loot.

WESTERN CONDITIONS SOUND.

"a "a "a
WESTERN CONDITIONS SOUND.
1t is a rather remarkable fact that
! the banks of this coast have now
practically financed the harvesting and
marketing of the seasons crops with
out increasing their liabilities to the
federal reserve bank, the principal
function of which was expected to be
to assist in these annual undertakings.
The fact is, strange as it may SEEM
that since the harvesting began the
banks have cut down their liabilities
to the central institution. Nothing
could more certainly demonstrate that
business conditions on this coast are
in the main sound and healthy-Yaki-
ma Republic.

There is lot of pathos in the case
of the Minnesota lad of eleven who
is under arrest for having wrecked a
lives in the wreck. The story of the
boy is to the effect that while walking
the track he saw that the switch was
not locked. Boy like, he tried his
strength on it and threw it over.
Then he was unable to throw it back
and alas, child like, was afraid to
tell what he had done. He told his
story to his father and the father,
rightly, insisted on his telling the
authorities. The childish prank had
resulted in tragedy and the problem
is what to do with the boy. He is
a mere child, hardly accountable, and
evidently had no intention of doing
harm. He is in no sense a criminal
and should not be treated as one. The
problem is to remove the stigma from
the boys life and get him started on
the way to useful manhood.

It 10 odd that man who played an
important part In early Montana and
Idaho history should also be q man
Of mystery.
Such was the case Of Captain Elias
D. Pierce. who In the summer of
1850 led . party Of prospectors into
the virgin gold fields Of the Clear
water river country in what IL now
the state Of Idaho, and started the
second Of the three great western
mining movements. This movement
was Of such significance that It re-
suited In the creation Of the state
Of Idaho from portion Of the Oregon
territory.
No one knew much about Captain
Pierce and only few Of the pioneers
around "Rich Old Pierce" one Of the
richest diggings Of the early times,
named In honor Of ito discoverer,
were able to recall details Of his first
expedition into the country. Sixty
three years have elapsed since Can
tain Pierce made his discovery and
while the rush was ct high tide he
slipped from sight. The story Of Cap
tain Pierce has been 90 meager Of
substantive proof that It sometimes
has been discredited.
Look up Relatives
Historians have been content to
let Pierce come in shadow and after
playing his part, vanish In q mist.
