SCHOOLS TO OPEN TODAY
FUWi CORPS OF TEACHERS "WILL
ENTER. UPON THEIR DUTIES.
OMXdrexi.'WXlI Be Enrolled ad As
cicmed. Clamucn itlultnoms.tt CotiHty
Districts Ready for Warlc.
The public schools of Portland open for
the year this morning, and shortly before
8 o'clock the streets once more will be
thronged by happy-hearted, bright-eyed
youngsters on their way to resume the
tasks so willingly laid aside at the be
ginning of the Summer vacation. All
things needful for their comfort and care
have been provided by the Board of Di
rectors, and Professor Frank RIgler, City
Superintendent, -will have a full and
thoroughly efficient corps of teachers
roady to assume charge of them. The
Echool buildings have been renovated and
put in first-class condition for their re
ception. It has been impossible for Hie
Board to finish a few of the rooms in
the Thompson school, and the classes
which are to occupy them later will be
transferred temporarily to the Multnomah
school.
Today's work among the schools "will "be
of a preparatory nature, and as soon as
the pupils assemble in their respective
rooms the teachers will enter upon their
duties by enrolling their names, and as
signing them to their classes. Each one
will also be furnished a census list, upon
which they will be expected to give their
names, ages, etc., together with the name
of the person authorized to sign excuses
for them. After receiving a list of books
which they will need during the term,
the formalities of opening day will be
finished, and there will be nothing more
for them until tomorrow morning, when
they will settle down to the regular
duties of the classroom.
In the afternoon the principals of the
several schools will meet at Professor
Rlgler's office in the City Hall, and com
plete permanent organization for the
year.
Should any of Portland's school patrons
bo fa doubt as to where their children
ought to be enrolled, they may secure the
necessary Information by applying at the
nearest school building, or by telephoning
to Superintendent Rigler, and stating the
location of their residence.
The school buildings of Multnomah
County outside of Portland have, been
greatly improved and enlarged during the
Summer, and the various district's have
been unusually successful in procuring a
31st of teachers of practical knowledge
and ability to impart that knowledge 16
their pupils. In the country, the first
day of school is of much more im
portance to tho children and their parents
than it is in the city, and is looked upon
as a great event, and becomes an epocn
of time from which the dates of all sort
of happenings are reckoned forward and
backward. With them there is no pre
liminary work, and today when the pupils
assemble with their books and lunch
palls, and hang up their hats and cloaks,
It will be to begin active work lmmfe
diately upon the tap of the teachers cell.
Suburban Schools.
The large suburban schools east of the
"Willamette will generally resume work
this morning. The Mount Tabor districts
will Bhow a marked increase In attend
ance. This Is expected mostly In No. 5,
the large Mount Tabor district, in which
there are two buildings, one of eight and
one of four rooms. Eleven teachers will
ne employed. Two extra rooms were com
pleted this vacation In the Glencoe build
ing. In the Montavilla district. No. 29,
the last room in the building has been
finished.' Here eight teachers will be em
ployed. With the exception of Russell
vllle ,and South Mount Tabor the prin
cipals remain as last year, but the per
sonnel of the assistants has been changed
to a considerable extent; but about SO per
cent of the former teachers remain.
District No. 5.
Mount Tabor schools, district No. 5, will
open this morning with 11 teachers in the
main building on the Base Line xoad, and
at Glencoe. It is "believed that there
will bo the largest enrollment in the his
tory of the school. Not a vacant house
is to be had in the community. This
growth lias made it necessary to provide
another room, and accordingly the second
story of the Glencoe building has been
completed and two pleasant rooms are
the result. Professor L. A. Read has
been employed as principal of this school.
iie will e assisted by Miss Anna Char
leson and Miss Bessie Fields. Professor
C MfDurrotte, assisted by Misses Mary
Buxton, Clara Bryan, Jessie Park,Jeanette
Archbold, Mary Perry, Mary and Mar
garet Tracy, -will have charge of the
main building. A most pleasant and
profitable year is anticipated. Superin
tendent Durrotte has prepared a new
course of study, hased largely upon the
state and Portland course. This has been
printed, and as it Is supplemented by
copious notes, will be very helpful to
both teachers and pupils.
Tho school savings bank will be con
tinued during tho year, and it is thought
will be oven more of a success than it
was last year. Very few pupils have
withdrawn their deposits since the close
of school, so that the balance is about
$1Z5. Interest wilj be figured about Octo
ber 1, and will be about 4 per cent, pos
sibly 5. As 3 per cent was all that was
promised, the pupils will be ahead by
this arrangement.
Montavilla.
The Montavilla school will open this
morning with a corps of eight teachers,

THE RIGHT KIND OF A PLAY
Wnr
People AIL Like
"Alabama."
to See
The reason people are so eager to see
"Alabama," Is much the same reason
that, prompts them to go again and
again, to see "The Old Homestead." They
like, a good, wholesome play, free from
end-of-the-century "problems," and full
of tho doings of good, whole-souled peo
ple. The setting, too, In the charming
South, Is one which adds to the at
tractiveness of the play and makes peo
ple want to see It again and again. Tho
James Nelli Company will present it
Thursday afternoon at the Marquam,
and Mr. NedU's admirers know that It
will be staged and played as It should
be. That Is saying a great deal.

GOOD-BYE, STREET FAIR.
Exhibits
and Btxlldincs
Be Gone.
Will Soon
Tho Carnival grounds -were protty -well
denuded of their exhibits yesterday, and
the -work of tearing doTvn the buildings
will now be done In much shorter time
than It took to put them up. . The great
arc lights and long lines of incandescents
were taken down' by 'a large force ot
workmen early in the morning, and their
removal gave the busy workers a better
chance to empty the many booths and
load the contents on trucks, drays and
express wagons, to bo returned to the
exhibitors. By noon the once glorious
Carnival grounds resembled a r long linn
of banquet halls deserted, and the great
public were once more permitted to .use
the smooth asphalt walks from which
they had been excluded for three weeks.
In the afternoon a special train, com
posed of two passenger and five freight,
cars, pulled out over the O. R. & N. for'
Pendleton. It contained the crew and
outfit of the "Grand Oriental Carnival-
Company," whose tents, muscle-dancers,
swordsnrion, elephants and lions will now
grace the streets of Umatilla's County
seat. The coaches were comfortably full
of dark-skinned foreigners, who have
probably been traveling with the Midway
since the great Chicago fair of 1893
broke up.
A few tents still remain in the German
village, together with the tables upon
which the foaming ,beer was served, but
the tents are void of occupants and will
bo taken down today.
Work of demolishing the grand pa
vilion, whch was built astride "Wash
ington street, will also be begun today,
and Its disappearance will be almost si
multaneous with that of the less elabo
rate portions of the long enclosure. By
the last of the week probably all traces
of the great. Carnival of 1500 will have
been entirely obliterated, and the great
fete will exist only in the memories of
the many thousands who visited it.

PREFER TO HOLD SHEEP.
Grant County Herders Have a Doable
I - . Supply of Feed.
C. M. Cochran, a sheep and cattle raiser
of Monument, Grant County, who is in
Portland' on, business, says stock of all
kinds are doing well on Fall grass, now
green In the John Day Valley, as well
as high'np In the Blue Mountains. Warm
showers have started the springs to run
ning, and stock doo3 not have to travel'
so far to water as formerly, and he
looks for sheep to come out to the Win
ter ranges In good condition.
He has" been Summering 4000 sheeD on
the sides of Greenhorn Mountain, where
more or less mining is going on, and so
his herders had to dodge around con
siderably to keep out of trouble. "Miners
don't like to have sheep cross their
ditches,'" ho said, "as the animals fill
them with dirt, and thus compel the
jownors to dig them out again. Then there
are a, number of persons who think a
sheepman Is an outlaw, anyway, and
these have given us more or less trouble,
but the bands have gotten through very
well, considering."
There, Is a good local demand for ewes
and lambs, in Grant County this Fall, he
finds, and the price is pretty stiff in
consequence. A few months ago, ewes
could have been bought for $3 and lambs
for $2 each, but even these good figures
fall to obtalnthem- now. Quite a number
of sheepmen who have considerable Win
ter ranges, hut no Summer pasture, de
sire to purchase stock to keep over until
after shearing, and their demands 'have
stiffened-the price.
But feed being good and hay abundant
In John "Day Valley, this year, makes
holders content to hold. Last year's hay
stack's were hardly touched, and so there
Is a double supply of fodder stacked up
In. the jheadows. "We have plenty of
hay for two hard Winters," he said, "and
if there is anything to "be made in hold
ing the stock over, we prefer to make

COUNTY SEAT CONTEST
LA GRANDE WANTS COURTHOUSE
OP UNION COUNTY.
Will Axle licslslature to Remove It
Prom Union, Which Will Flffht
to Hold It.
An old struggle for county seat honors
is v'pry likely to be renewed at the next
session of tne Legislature, according to
Dr. Cromwell, a well-known citizen ot
Union, who is spending a few days in
Portland. The seat of county govern
ment Is now located at Union, 15 miles
southeast of La Grande, but the latter
town being on the main line of the O.
R. & N-, a,nd of a larger population, is
very desirous of adding the Courthouse
Jo her beet-sugar factory and Elgin rail
road junction. Union, being a few miles
off the main line, Is at some 'disadvan
tage, though the county has a good b:ick
Courthouse and steel jail there. Ever s'nee
the new La Grande las become a town
of considerable importance hor citizens
have had their eyes on the Courthouse,
and this desire has grown so strong of
late years, Dr. Cromwell says, that thf
La Grande people acutally talk of pitting
up a ?20O,CO0 Courthouse at their own ex
pense, should the voters of the county
decide to move the county seat from
Union to their town.
"The question has come lip so rcgu'arly
before the Legislature for a series ot
years that I am confident the Legisla
ture is tired of It," Dr. Cromwell said
at the Perkins yesterday, "but this year
the La Grande people have State Senator
Wade on their side, as well as Repre
sentative "McAHster, who lives at La
Grande. Union will therefore have to
look to outside members for help when
the battle comes, and they will be at
Salem in full force to prevent the pas
sage of an act submitting the relocation
of county seat to a vote of the people."
La Grande, he said. Is situated near
the northwestern boundary of Union
County, and Union is therefore much
nearer the geographical center. Should
the county seat.be removed to La Grande
it will cause a dissatisfaction among the
citizens of the south and east, who will
then take steps to secede from Union and
join fortunes yith Baker. This move
would . not involve Union, which would
still remain in Union County, though, of
course, her citizens do not feel as though
they could afford to lose the county seat
and the yearly business Its possession
brings. If the matter comes to a vote,
it will be a hard-fought struggle,, with
Union and the east side of the county
united against La Grande and her larger
town population.
"Union Is by all means themost con
venient point for the county seat," the
doctor said, "and the removal of the
county qnclals to La Grande would In
volve tremendous expense, as little faith
Is placed in the promises of the $200,000
Courthouse. In fact, it this promise is
made and the election carried by it, there
would be some question of legality, as the
matter might assume the form of a bribe
to voters.
"Union a few years ago was about to
build a railroad northward, but the La
Grand people bestirred themselves and
hurried on "the construction of the road
from their town to Elgin, which killed
our project. They also brought the sugar
mill enterprise to a head, hoping by the
Increase of voting population resulting
to overwhelm Union when the question ot
county seat removal comes up. But
Union people will be on hand at Salem
next Winter to fight the question of re
submission, in spite of the efforts of an
unfriendly home delegation.
"This whole struggle might have been
avoided, however, but for the overconfl
dence of one citizen of Union, who would
not accede to the demands of the rail
road company when the surveys were
being made. He was so sure the road
would run Into Union, any way, that he
was in no mood to talk concession, and
when the line left Union a few miles to
one side, It was too late to make amends.
La Grande herself was left two miles out
in the cold, and her citizens were obliged
to move to tho present site, and let the
