The fight for postmaster waxes warm as the weather grows more torrid, and names of voters are being attached to petitions by scores daily. Each of the contestants, Sheldon Littlefield and J. W. Duckworth, are energetically in the field and each has many supporters. Mr. Duckworth is understood to have the county committee in his band wagon, but Postmaster Littlefield purposes making a personal canvass with a view to ascertaining the preference of the members. Each contestant has been in communication with Congressman Smith, who has not up to this time, as far as can be learned, expressed a preference as between the two candidates. Senator Flint is said to favor Duckworth's candidacy, but friends of Littlefield will have an interview with him in the near future and endearment.

The appointment will be made soon after the assembling of congress in December. No word has come from the commission chosen to select a site for a pathological laboratory. Gov. Pardee's letter to Mr. Neff, referred to in these columns last week, in which he stated the commission had not had the time necessary to give the subject, but had not forgotten altogether about it, was the only advice that had come in several weeks, during which time we had been patiently waiting the coming of the commissioners, hoping that a site might be selected and work upon the laboratory begun. However, it is doubtful if the commission can take the subject up before the latter part of September. Gov. Pardee participated in the ceremonies attending the opening of the new postoffice in San Francisco on Tuesday, and will in all probability be in Portland on the 9th, when the Exposition will celebrate Admission Day. Even if the commission should take the matter up immediately upon the Governor's return from Oregon, it will probably be some little time before a selection of the many sites may be made. Yet the commission will be assured of a hearty welcome should they honor us with a visit, and we shall do our best to convince them this is above all other points in South- The monster Zemrau was the convicted of wife beating her lady witness in the case in on Tuesday admitted she herself whipped by her lo master the day before.

The g crease in expenditures, thus ex t the increase in receipts, is due if not chiefly, to the extension rural free delivery system, and newspapers that view this defic alarm are clamoring for a curt of this branch of the postoffice In order to render the Postoffi partment self-sustaining they cut out many if not most of the rural delivery routes—those o long distance from the towns their newspapers are publish course. We think this is bad and minded advice, and a suggestion ought to find no favor with th authorities or congress.

Yet the commission will be assured of a hearty welcome should they honor us with a visit, and we shall do our best to convince them this is above all other points in Southern California the place for the laboratory. The Census Bureau has just published as a bulletin an analysis by Prof. Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell University of the census of statistics relating to teachers. Calculating the school age as from 5 to 24, the reports find that, taking the country as a whole, there is an average of one teacher to every 71 pupils, or 140 for every 10,000. The computation shows that the supply of teachers in proportion to school population has more than doubled in the last 30 years, and that teachers exceeded the total number of clergymen, lawyers and physicians. In 1900 Nevada had the largest proportional number of teachers; Vermont ranked second; Maine third and Iowa fourth. The proportion of teachers was smaller in some of the Southern States. During the past decade, the proportion has increased in every In order to render the Postoffice department self-sustaining they cut out many if not most of their rural delivery routes—those on long distance from the towns their newspapers are publish course. We think this is bad and we minded advice, and a suggestion ought to find no favor with the authorities or congress. The free delivery system is one of the features of the service. It has and is of inestimable value in ways. Through it people are far intelligent upon affairs generally they were a few years ago. They better informed and wiser, and better citizens and neighbor members of a family than when read and learned and cared less their country's and state's currents fairs. The rural free delivery been a great enlightener and educator of the common people, and it has not only to stay but to grow and become still more useful, on the Postoffice Department catches up and keeps even. Fifteen million dollars isn't much a country like this, nothing mentioning if expended in a good government spends some $1,000 a year in pensions, at which people do not complain much. We to spend anywhere from $150,000 $300,000,000 on the Panama canals some one remarked recently that country could do the same every in such work and not miss the or make taxes appreciably higher is a big country, and while economy and strict accountability in the ditture of all public funds are desirous and important, complaint of a and territory, the increase in a maximum in the State Washington. The States of the West showed a greater than those of the East and it has been a decided slump Chinese boycott of Americans, and advices to the Department of State from all parts evident indicate that the backbone boycott is broken. General Rogers at Shanghai issued Acting Secretary of Homes that while the boycott not been stopped all signs its termination in a short time. The Chinese Government, has been opposed to the boycott issuing manifestos to be, and this action is havocicial effect. In the case of Washington officials between the United States China will resume normal relations in the near future. A common thing for Russia have lately settled in county to whip their wives? After Zemrau was this week of wife beating, and a mess in the case in Court may admitted she had been shipped by her lord and day before. Mrs. Zemrau by her former neighbors been beaten to death by land. The case is told in telle deficit of this splendid branch of the public service is a case of straining at a gnat. Instead of complaining of the cost of rural free delivery let us turn rather to the enormously excessive price we pay for transporting the mails over the railroads. Regulate this and the deficit will disappear.—(Editorial in Portland, Ore., Daily Journal). School Notes High school begins Monday, Sept. 11th. The term will be 9½ months. The teachers are: J.

POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL San Luis Obispo, August 26—Among lines of work offered by the Polytechnic School for the coming year are POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL San Luis Obispo, August 26—Among lines of work offered by the Polytechnic School for the coming year are physics and electricity. Students in the course in mechanics will have most to do with these branches, being engaged with one or both of them during the three years of the course. Students in agriculture will have class room and laboratory physics during third year, and will devote sufficient time to gain a comprehensive grasp of its most important features. In the mechanics course the first work in physics will consist of class room and text book work. Experiments illustrating the points under consideration will be given during the recitation period. Special attention will be paid to mechanics, heat and electricity, and all through the course problems will be given the student emphasizing the fundamental principles of the subject and pointing to its practical applications. The second year mechanics students will continue the work in physics along more advanced lines, giving special attention to electrical measurements, the telephone and telegraph and photometric measurements. In the latter part of the second year the fundamental principles of electrical machinery will be studied with problems relating to transmission losses, general wiring and line construction. The greater part of the electrical work will come in the third year. At the last session of the legislation an appropriation of two thousand dollars was made for the equipment of such a laboratory and this has placed a considerable variety of electrical apparatus at the disposal of the polytechnic school students. A good opportunity is afforded for the study of direct and alternating current machinery. The different systems of street lighting, various types of arc lamps, installation of machinery and the general details of electrical construction will be taken up so far as they have a practical bearing on this grade of work. this is bad and narrowness, and a suggestion that did no favor with the postal or congress.
