Thut the so-called "cloned school
corporation," which for neveral
years past haw defied the wishes of
tho people of this vicinity ami ut
terly ignored their suggestions with
regard t" tho eon duct of the edu
cational institutions of this district,
is soon to pass out of existence, is
attested by Hie fa' t that 1 It. Ham
lin, city superintendent of schools,
and hi Portland co-workers Jailed
in their efforts to secure sufficient
signature to tho petitions asking
that the measure providing for a
shorter term for school directors,
he referred to the voters of Oregon
at the next general election. Tins
measure wa.s adopted ov I :.e Le :
its List session, but was
nfterwnrd attacked hy a lew school
superintendents of the state who
feared it would affect their posi
tions. Because of the failure of Superin
tendent Hamlin and his i o-wori;ers
to secure the required number 01 i
signatures 10 the petitions, Dr. K.j
1,. Miller and S. L. Dillard will ie-
tire automat i-a!ly from the board ;
of directors of the Itoseburg school:

ever, has given general satisfaction
while a member of the school hoard
and he will be uriteil to atvept ih
position for another term. Ho i.
one of the two nu-ln ht-rs of llie
.!:oard who have lh.oue'l to the wish
es of the natrons of Iho schools i'lid
have voted to elevate, rather than
lower, the siandaril of the Hosobiii K
schools. Mr. Iiillnrd. on the other I
hand, has at nil times been nrlivej
in the interests of 111" so-called,
"closed corioration." and it is morel
than- likely that he will he succeed
ed at the elilion to he heid on June.
Iti hy a man who is more suitable
to the people of the s -honl district i
It was only a few nimiilis am. that'

Failing to regain consciousness
alit-r the fatal injuries sustained by
being run over by an automobile
! while she was playing on the Brown
1 bringe, near tiaiuen Valley, yester
l .lay afternoon, six-year-old I.etha
Alice Harness .only child of Mr. uuu
Mrs. Ku siell Harness, of North Kose
burg, died at Mercy hospital at t
o'clock la.il evening.
In the automobile, driven by
Charles t ields, a popular clerk in the
UoM-burg postolfice, were Mrs. Fields
and t'rot and Mrs. F. It. Hamlin.
They had just turned around at the
northern end of the bridge structure,
alter watching the operations of the
lisiiermen, and were proceeding to
wards home, when the child was
, si ruck and run over by u forward
1 wheel. A mark ol the tire was
across her chest ami she was practi
cnll lifeless when her father picket
hT up and rushed her here to the I
hospital. 1 1 was seen at once that
she could not live, although no ef
tort was spared, and four houra af-1
ter the tragedy she died.
I The details of tiie sad accident
were seen by several people who
were on tho bridge at the same time,
among them being Mr. and Mrs. Har
ness, t Me child's parents, w bo had
been o the bridge for a few hours.
The former was w a telling a line
Ah tell he was managing in the
waters of tho North I'mpqua Klver
Ix-low, and looked up barely in time
lo see his daugltier go beneath the
Mis. Harness was at the other
end of the structure and apprehend
ed t he seriousness of t he accident
immediately. Close by were Mr. and
Mr. ii. C. Witham, of Deer Creek,
who had stopped their machine to
t-pond a few minutes watching the
anglinc
As the Fields car came up the ap
proach Mr. Fields had his attention
distracted by passing the Witham car
as well as hy his interest in the fish
ing operations and the management
of his own machine. The child had
been playing on the bridge for some
time, and as the car approached she
seemed to be looking through the
railing at the river. Kvldently she
was not aware of the nearness of the
machine, no more than the driver
had knowledge of her motion to
cross his path. The car was about
opposite her. however, when the girl
suddenly turned and made to go to
tli.- opposite side. She screamed, as
did several others, but being unable
to move away, she threw up her
hands as the fender caught her body
and da-hed h r to the floor. Moving
i y slowly, t he machine w as slopped
ulnioM instantly, but one wheel had
passed over her tiny form. Her
lather, who was a few feet way, was
ai her side Jn a moment.
The tragedy occurred about 3:30,
iind a few minutes later the child was
in tin h.tiness machine and racing to
lo w n. Dr. A. C. Seely made a pre
liminary examination, and ordered
her at one' to Mercy Hospital. Here
,-b.. was examined more carefully by
Drs. S''.'ly and Sether. It waf found
ihat the skull was fractured at the
b;.-e. thai several ribs on the right
Pid' wre also fractured, that the
eh. st w is cru-did and the lungs
fill d with blood, and there were
ul ii'-r injuries about the body and
face.
I. ate this afternoon It was decided
to hold the funeral at the Klks 'tem
ple at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The s'-rvle-s will be in charge of
K. v. V. H Katon and Interment will
follow in the Masonic cemetery. The
child was a beautiful little
girl and
