After going over the large number of ap-; plicants, he introduced the applica tion of the newly-elected principal, Professor Kllpatrick. He also introduced references handed him by the applicant from President Campbell of the University of Oregon, State Superintendent Alderman and Assistant Dillard, the county superintend-I ent of Lane county, a member of the board of directors of the city schools in Spokane, Stockton, and various other cities. Mr. Lafky advised the board that the ap-pli5ant. along with another stuaent at the U.

The number of- American and other foreign artists and art students who come to Madrid to study the magnificent collection of Velasquez pictures in the Prado Museum continues to increase every year.

The museum authorities gve every assistance i Han re tr vr.rtV th masteruleCeS Of Spanish art, of which this gal er contains an unrivalled collection Madrid possesses many advantaees for the art student, material ones quite as much as artistic. For one thing, ijving is inexpensive, excellent 1 board being obtainable for less than a dollar a day. Numbers of Ameri- can artists, after a preliminary course of study at Paris, now make a prac- tice of spending from three months to a year working in the Prado. Sarjent found so much to be learned; have left a permanent influence on his style. It has often been wondered why something has not been done to de- i velop Madrid as a center of art edn- cation.

or two European mast-j ers have gone so far as to consider the feasibility of opening a school here, but always they have, been stop- ped short by an insuperable obstacle: the practical impossibility of obtain- ing models. Men models, it is true, can be found, but the dignity and pride of all Spanish women prevent I them from posing. It is said that the great painter jsorolla, requiring female figures in lone of his pictures, was obliged to call upon hi3 wife and daughters. I By the death of Senor Marcelino Menendez Pelayo, director of the I Madrid national library, Spain loses one of the most distinguished scholars of the century. The almost exclusively national character of Senor Menendez's life work has, perhaps, prevented his name from becoming familiar to the public abroad as would have been the case had his eminent abilities, great learning and untiring Industry been exerted in some better known field of knowledge, However this may be, Spain and Spanish litetrature have assuredly been the gainers, for only with wholehearted devotion could he have done so much to restore, among his countrymen a critical appreciation of the beauties and wealth of their native literature.

To Spain, where he stood alone, the loss is for a time rrennraiiio There are, however, I among his younger colleagues and pupils some who have studied his-methods and who will, it is believed, worthily carry on his work. Born at Santander in 1856, Senor Menendez from his childhood showed exceptional literary ability. At 19 he was already an excellent classical scholar, and at 21 he was appointed reader of Spanish lierature at Madrid University, one of the unsuccessful candidates being the present Prime Minister, Senor Canaleias. In 1881, at the earlv age of 24, he was elected a member of the Spanish Academy and henceforward his ca- reer was one of unremitting literary activity. His most important worVs "A lUstorv of Esthetics in Spain" I and an "Anthology of Spanish Lyric poets," jn 12 volumes, each provided with a Ions critical introduction.

He I was also engaged upon the task of editing "Lonez de Vega," and several volumes of this stupendous work already have been published. Senor Menendez has left a valuable library of 40.000 volumes to the town of Santander.

COMMERCE SPOILS HISTORIC PLACE ST. PAUL RAILWAYS DESTROY CAVE WHICH WAS INDIAN COFXCIL CHAMBER. Saint Paul, June 15 Far above the banks of the Mississippi, where the river makes a great curve below Saint Paul, is one of the historic spots of the northwest. Among the early settlers of the vast territory which stretches from Lake Michigan to the Pacific ocean few spots are known more widely than Carver's Cave. This natural hole in the face of I the sandstone cliff fcr years had been used as a meeting place of Indians.

Here Captain Jonathan Car- ver was entertained by the Dakota Indians in November, 1767, one of the first white men ic what is now Minnesota. He round the cave a large opening some distance above the water, and in the midst of the cave was a lake described as of considerable size. It was here that the Indians met for council and here the Great Spirit was supposed to dwell. On the top of the bluff overlooking a wide expanse of the valley of the rivar was the burial place of the Indians. When Carver visited what is now Saint Paul the cave was eleven feet high and thirty feet broad, and with amazing depth.

The walls were dec orated with the rude carvings of the inaians ana tne water me iane in the interior was clear as crystal. On May 1. 1867, the Minnesota s.taie Historical Focieiv ceieuraieu tne one nuiiureuin auniversar.v ui tilt? auu ucaif viiiin jtitt- tain Carver made with the Indians by holding a meeting in the great cave, which they found much as Captain Carver described in the early histories of the northwest section of the United States. They determined to plan for. a meeting in 1967 for their descendants in the same place.

But before another century well started the railways with ruthless hands had torn down the side of the cliff for additional ground on which to enter the city. The growth of the railway business, which is among the largest for anv city of th3 country, continued to demand more room, until he cave and the lake within it have been cut away. AU that remains i the end of the cave. used as a spot for Boy Scouts to visit. WOMAX IS HURLED TO DEATH OX RAILROAD Oregon City.

The culmination of the contest for either the re-election of Professor Kirk, or his retirement, resulted in some-fiery words being cast at different members of the board by Director Miles and Moores. The ruction, occurred when Director Lafky, In a resolution presented, recommended that when the principal of ihe high school was elected for the ensuing year, that he be elected to begin his duties September 1, and that Professor Kirk's resignation not be effective until that date. Director Miles attacked the resolution vehemently. He said that he could not see any reaeson why Kirk should be retained one moment after the time expires for resignation whether on pay or not.

He declared that intense feeling has been rife in Salem for months and that the only way the matter could be settled, was to dis pense with the services of Professor 1 1 I Opportunity Knocks Nomination Blank Good for Two Thousand Votes Place to my credit 2000 voles and notify me wiiat rny number will be.
