SLAB
IS NOTVANTED
Sentiment Seems to be Very Much
Against Using BchoolhouM for
Advertlnlng ArchltecU and Coo
tractors Anotiier Slab Suggested
Judging from the sentiments ex
pressed by the many taxpayers who
have called at tbe Mint office, tbe
advertising alab at the entrance to
tbe flew school building does not
meet with their, approval. Those
who have expressel their sentiment
to the Mist do notj object to School
Directors Melllnger, Akin and La
Bare having their names on the
tablet, though it la the general sen
timent that such Inscriptions were
entirely unnecessary. They do ob
ject, however, to the architect and
contractors putting their advertise
ment on the school and then charg
ing the taxpayers for the advertise
ment. The architects received S per
cent on the cost of the building, they
say, and the advertising slab cost
160. The architects will, therefore,
receive $3.00 commission, or 6 per
cent on the slab and then take up a
goodly portion of tbe space in ad
vertising themselves. .The contrae
tors will , also receive their pay for
the slab and putting it In place and
then they have a big free ad. '. Of
course $60.00 Is not aa much aa
560.p5, but .the taxpayers, cannot
understand why It was necessary to
spend the $60 to advertise the arch
itects and contractors who came only
for a mercenary purpose, and who
are receiving a profit on their wort,
yes, even to the furnishing and plac
ing of the advertising Blab which
bears their names.
John Gumm Blab Wanted
Many of the old timers and those
who knew John Gumm think that a
memorial tablet should be placed
honoring the founder of the St. Hel
ens school. They do not think that
those who built the new school-
nouse, those who drew the plans and
received a monetary consideration,
should be honored as Is John Gumm.
Nor do they think that It was neces
sary for the school directors to try
to perpetnate their memory any
more than others who worked on the
Job.
Judge Pullerton thinks that "John
Gumm School" would be the best.
ueorge ferry says that he will bead
a subscription list for a new tablet
and donate $1 or more. George Wll-
tson cannot understand why "It Iras
aonc" and many others have ex
pressed like sentiment.
The Idea was r.lso expressed that
t.elt line railroad to connect the In
dustries along the waterfront, It Is
said will bring large shipments of
white pine to St. Helens for ship
ment, by vessel and that the com
merce of the port will be further de
veloped. ' The petition was sent to San Fran
cisco and Charles R. McCormlck took
up the matter with the shipping in

In the JuBtlco Court Monday there
was a case which attracted consid

was the plaintiff and Eric Mattson
the defendant. Some time age the
defendant sold to the plaintiff a
horse which was guaranteed to be a
"sound and all around work horse."
The guarantee was In writing. Be-

the Victory Liberty Loan campaign
was used in making the comparison

In competition with It was the 8-3,
built at Portsmouth in 1918.
The maximum speed developed
bv the U-lll was 13.8 knots, while
the 8-3 made 14.7 knota. Submerged
the U-lll made 7.8 knota, and the
8-3 made 12.4. The U-lll can
cruise 8.500 miles at 11 knots com
