GRAPPLER SMITH'S -ass- HARRIS FOR SENATOR. OREGON CITY'S GOVERNMENT. The positive refusal of William Andre sen and other sterling and hard working members of the city council to become candidates for reelection causes The Enterprise to again urge that the system of government for Oregon City be changed to a com mission form. We shall have txS come to It, and there la nothing to be gained by useless delay and a great deal to be lost la this busy age of competition few of the right kind of public off!- That "Auk" Smith, the clever local grappler, will nia.e a One showln. against Peter Botukus or lightweight championship fame when the r,r meet in the Armory Tuesday evening is the opinion of all of the local fans. The town guard seems to think that the wily emulator of Achilles haa bitten ctf too large a chunk to mas ticate when he attempts to pin the shoulders of little Oscar to the mat four times In an hour. In fact, some go so far as to say that he'll be lucky If he spills the kid once, " "w r..-. Judge Lawrence T. Harris. . of Eugene, for United States senator to succeed Bourne. This sounds rather good to us. Judge Harris is a young man with a fine character and with j tremendous energy. He married an Oregon City- girl too. Somebody will succeed Bourne. Of course Jonathan hopes -it will be Bourne, but we don't think so. Bourne bolted the Republican ticket last year. He openly declared him self In favor of the candidacy of Democrat Oswald West for governor, and In so doing completed the alien ation of thousands of Republicans who never did have a particularly high opinion of him. ' Mr. Harris has a clean record. Ho was speaker of the house of repre sentatives in 1903 and made bis mark there. He ranks high among the circuit judges of Oregon. ' His moral life Is unstained. Judge Harris never 'Auk" Smith, the Clever Local Grsp pler. Who Meets Peter Bozukus Tuesday Evening. 'Ever since he was. a kid, young Smith has been strong for the grap pling game, and aa be grew older he began to butt out of his class a lit tle, and take on the big fellows for a rail or two. About this time It be gan to occur to hia friends that Smith could wrestle some, and they began to look for great things from him In the catch aa catch can method of ath letics. When he returned from his eastern tour a little more than a year ago he had all kinds of kinks. twists i-nd holds up his sleeve, and has rolled all kinds of 'em to defeat Thounh Smith Is a red hot favorite here, Bozukus is by no means with out supporters, for there are many who are ready to place their changt on the Greek, and taken all . In all. Interest In the seance between the pair Is at a high pitch, and a big house Is assured. Rev.

Curiously enough, this very year sees the inauguration of an ex change of lectureships between Japan and the United States. That is sign of amity, of REAL COMMUNITY OF FEELING. And k is significant that the first lecturer of the series will be Dr. Inazo Nitebe, a man of rery great importance. His coming is as significant of peace as that of Admiral Togo was. Notting could more strongly mean peace between the nations than this exchange of professorships.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM HAS FIRST PRACTICE The inHIal football practice of tho season was held Thursday evening at the Oregon City high school, eighteen men responding to the call tt Coach Phflngsten. Included in this number were some of last years players, and many new men. There are several old players who have no-, entered school, but have expressed their Intention of doing so, so there seems to be all kinds of available material for a rattling good eleven. Speed, not avordupols, will be de pended upon almost entirely thls season If the high school Intends to make a record for Itself on the grid Iron, as there are few heavy men In the bunch of candidates from which Phflngsten Is to choose his eleven. What disadvantage this causes, how ever, Is offset by the fast style of the players, who with proper coach ing will be able to get Into action before a heavier team knows It.

Good grade Oregon Kings, which figure largely In the displays at this time, are going at $1.25 to $1.50 gen erally In Portland, while the-best Oregon Qravenstelns offered are held at $1.75 to $2. Jonathans grown In Ud state, showing fair quality, are selling at $1 25 to $1.75 and Wagen ers at $1.25 to $1.50. Red Pearmalns and Bellflowers from California are for the most part held at $1.25 a box. The outlook Is for . comparatively cheap apples throughout the fall ami winter, for the crop of the country generally Is a heavy one. From this time on the . local market will be liberally supplied with this staple frill. The market on other fruits shows little change from the conditions of the past week. The peach supply Is rather lighter, and for that reason there Is some disposition to raise price. 'ftFor the best offerings of Elbertas and other sorts dealers ask C5 to 75 cents, but common fruit is available at 40 to 50 cents. On the whole' peaches this week have been much less active than for the - past month. Pear are still selling in a slow but steady way, hut the market Is adequately supplied with the later sorts and will be for the next month or two. Grapes continue cheap, and there seems to be small likelihood of prices working much above the present level In the near future.

CENTRALIZATION OF SCHOOLS IS URGED Consolidation of the state univer sity, the Oregon Agricultural college and the state normal school luto one great central Institution and clone.- supervision of the district schools, was urged by M. L 1'ratt In an ad dress at the Mllwaukle district fulr. The subject of the address wss "Eft tabllsbnent and Development of Our pu M Ic School System." "There are perhaps 1 3000 students In these three schools," said Mr. Pratt, "but there are many thou sands of students In the state who are deprived of the advantages given thene fortunate 3U00 students. Con soltdatlon would mesn the saving of many thousands of dollars, as these three Institutions are going over practically the same grounds every year. 'The old school district plan has om lived its uruliii's and should he abolished and the state take direct control. It has been shown that the bent schools are under centralized control. Our country schools are poor compared with those of the city. The city schools get the best teach ers and sap the Ufa of the country schools. Hundreds come to Portland from the country to set their chil dren Into tho Portland" schools. 1 think that more money comes Into Portland through its schools than from any other source. L-t dm poor wek districts or the country be con- solldat?d and a stale school be estsh. llBhed In a modern schoolhoiise, and then the same advantages now en Joyed by. a small fraction of students who ca.i attend the higher state lu Htltutlons, could ,o Klv;n to the conn try lad and girl, who are entitled M them. The cost of state control of the public schools would le no mom than Is now expended on and dlssl paled by the obsolete school dlHtrlct system. "The central Institution, or power house, could send out Its teachers and bring to the homes of the coun try boy and gUi the best education that the country affords."
