Will Oregon Go Dry t the
Next Opportonity?
The annual scbo 1 meetiug of District
No. 2 took place t the school i ousc on
Monday evening ami wo quite larsi'ly
attended. ,
Mrs. V. B. IMIlard was chosen director
Cor a trm of three year ami II. I Wat
kins was re-elected school clerk.
The uelion ot consolidating with
district No. 29 was then takeu up and
mrnrsilv but Kxxl naturculy discussed,
trona arguments, being advanced both.
for and against the proposition.
Dr. CliB led the omxwition to the
measure and expressed the opinion that
St. Helens, as a rapidly growm com
noo.1 school build
Ing ol its own, was in a position to man
age its own school affairs and that the
lmililinir of a new structure at a point
midway between the two towns would
TMult in ?nit inconvenience, especially
for the smaller chidren, without confer
ring any adequate compensation
Mr. H. P. Watkins spoke along the
same lines anil several others followed.
Principal Allen favored consolidation
on tht eronnd that it would give better
school facilities, as, in a larger school,
teachers would be able to do better work
in the different entiles and a les number
of teachers would be able to handle a
mater number of pupils.
Dr PMn f. V. Quick. Martin
White, and E. H. KUgg spoke briefly i
favor of consolidation. 1 ne vote snoweu
19 for and 15 against the proposition.
HOIXTON'S ACTION
The Toters of school district No. SD
(Houlton V at their meeting last Monday
vpmn7 el tl A. N. Clark as school
clerk for one year and Charles Graham as
director for three years.
Tlie nuestion of consolidation was de
featcd by a vote of IS to 3. and the di
rector ordered to call a special meeting
for the purpose of considering the
question of building a new school bouse.
This probably settles the matter of con
solidation for several years to come, but
we predict that as the two communities
build toward each other the necessity for
school building between the river and
the railroad will become more apparent
each year. In the meantime we con
gratulate Houlton upon its decision to
build a new school house and hope the
community will not have cause to regret
its course on consolidation -
RsUMElT
At the school meeting held here Mon-'
day afternoon L. R. Kutherford was
elected director and T. J. Flippin clerk
for the ensuing year. Messrs Kuther
furd and Flippin are both mill men ami
beavy property owner who will take
proper interest in tht schools aod wel
fare of the children.

Portland Tuesday evening, where Mrs
Fry and children have been viaiting

The liqui-r iren are confident that they
can roll up a mifncient majority in Port

dictions have failed of lultilujvnt, so it la
among the probabilities that in to
