Sanitary Drinking Fountains, Paved Playgrounds and Seating Fa cilities to Be Added. Sanitary improvements of schools- will be the subject of a meeting of parents at the Irvington Club House at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening. Al though the meeting originated with parents of children attending the Irv ington school, the subjects to be con sidered will be of interest to all par ents of the city, it was declared yes terday by William F. Woodward, who is taking an active interest in the subject. One of the three more Important sub jects to come up for discussion at the meeting will be bubbling drinking fountains for the schools to protect pupils from obtaining disease by using the same cups used by others. At the Irvington school there are large playgrounds which are unavail able during the Winter season owing to the character of the ground, which is sticky clay, and the children are forced to play in the basements, where they can get neither enough air nor enough exercise. Interested parents will ask that the playgrounds be cov ered with some kind of pavement, pre ferably asphaltum, that the children may have the use of them. "At this season of the year," ex plained Mr. Woodward yesterday, "chil dren are .especially in danger of con tracting disease, owing to their having been kept indoors so long, and the subjecf of providing them with suit able playgrounds where they can ex ercise should be considered for all the schools in the city." The third important feature of the meeting will be the discussion of a plan for providing the Irvington school with furniture for its assembly room. At present there are neither seats nor benches, and wben the children are sent there to listen to talks, some of which are drawn out to considerable length, they are forced to stand, which is considered Injurious. 0 TT Oyp 5'V3 (T) '"j " ""f" Is the only Life Insurance Company whose entire business is In Oregon Exclusively That's why death losses in OregonTife are phenomenally small That's one of the reasons why gener al results, including dividends, are so satisfactory to OregonTife policyholders QregonTifc receives preference from all who have Oregon's heart, therefore D oes st in Oregon than any other life insiir- There is nothing better in Life Insur ance than Home Office: Corbett Building, Cor. Fifth and Morrison, Portland, Oregon A. I MILLS, .President TWO VIEWS TAKEN Railroad Commission Looked To for Opposing Rulings. LOWER RATES ARE ASKED Milwaukie Hopes to Get Reduction Through Commission; Llnnton, Ignoring State Body, Turns to Courts for Ilelief. While the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. is contending that the State Railway Commission is without author ity to fix a 5-cent rate to Milwaukie, the United Railways Company is en deavoring to defeat an action in the Circuit Court by asserting that the Railway Commission is the only body which may legally investigate and pass upon the merits of a request from Linnton asking that the patrons of that road be placed on a 5-cent basis. Ere the ides of March have passed, Milwaukie patrons of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co.'s line hope to begin caching coupons representing one-half the 10-cent fares which they are continuing to pay while the attor neys for the company plead with the Supreme Court for a rehearing of the judgment confirming the order of the State Railroad Commission in estab lishing a 5-cent fare. March 12 is now designated as the date on which the parties to the case must file their briefs covering the mat ter. It Is not blleved the court will request oral argument in addition. Milwaukie residents contended long and strenuously for the 5-cent rate, and finallly petitioned the Railway Commission, which body came to their reuef with a mandate for reduced rate of transportation The tramway com pany then secured an injunction re straining the Commission from placing Its prder in effect and appealed the case to the Supreme Court, after the local Circuit Court had upheld the authority of the Railroad Commission In the action taken. Linnton people ignored the State Railway Commission and began a suit in the local courts by which they hoped to force a reduction in fares from 10 cents to 5 cents. Attorneys for the railroad have asked for a Judg ment on the pleadings, alleging that until the Railway Commission shall have passed upon the case the court is without jurisdiction. The case is now under advisement. Coupons rebating one-half of every 10-cent fare on the Milwaukie run are now being Issued In numbers approach ing 250,000, and for the-redemption of that paper the company has furnished a bond of $10,000.

"Siskiyou state is a joke among the people of Jackson County," said Sher iff W. H. Jones, at the Imperial Hotel yesterday. "There is some street cor ner conversation On the subject, but the people down there don't pay any attention to it and are not in favor of any division of Oregon. Jackson County has an assessed valuation of $26,000,000, and will this year collect more than $300,000 in taxes. There is little indebtedness oh, pshaw we have no time to talk about the thing. "The Rogue River district is hav ing all it can do to keep from being overrun by prospective setlers who are looking for homes. They keep coming every day to find, out about those apple and pear orchards. Med ford and our other towns are going right ahead and we are looking for a great year." Sheriff Jones came to the city with three children for admission to the Home of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Soci ety. The parents of the children re side at Ashland and became - unable to care for them through sickness. Mrs. Nellie R. Newburg came down in charge 'of the young folks. WHEREJTO DINE.
