and threatened for a time to stop the
brilliant pageant of the afternoon.
However, a passageway was cleared
along the center of Pennsylvania ave

replete with martial splendor and pic

the new president.
The ceremonies of the ir.au :ral
were formally begun when Vice Presi

which called out for him a spontaneous
tribute of applause, declare:! the Six

then to Mr. Sherman, who had been

officiating for the fiith time at this
historic ceremony. Mr. Taft took up a
position facing the members of his
family grouped in the gallery.
'the chief ju-t'ce began the adminis

Taft repeated the words in a slow,
distinct voice. When he at last had
kissed the Bible, there was an outburst
of applause, a grasp of the hand by
the chief jus; ice, and President Taft
began immediately the inaugural ad-

President and Mrs. Taft were th
centers of interest at the culminating
feature of tie' day -die inaugural ball
in the Pension building. The scene in
tne cavernous building, which lias beer
. transformed into a canopied court of
ivory and white, was another of thf
j brillia- t picUres fjundrentiially painteo
here by the gathering of a vast and
I brilliant assemblage from every sec

; and movement of a military spectacle,
iwith the si ftening influence of deli
cateiy tinted g wns and the intert st ot
a personnel seldom eipialled at a social

i place unique in the history making of
tho day.

j All feminine Washington had long

! which Mrs. Ta t wore at the inaugural
' ball. In her choice of the toilette in

I Mrs. Taft has shown not only exquisite
taste in dress but patriotism as well,
! for the design in which the beautiful

The foundation of the gown is of

effect. Over this the c i lTon is draped
with consummate skill, giving the
effect of l.i'nr, stra ifht lines. The
sleeves are furired of rare point lace.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF Wit
SCHOOLS ARE AIDEO
Several Good Laws Wsrs Pasted at
Recent Legislative Session.
Salem The following is synopsis
of the changes made In the school laws
by the last legislature:
Every district in the atato must
maintain at least six months of school
each year. A county court of each
county must levy a tax for school pur
poses that will produce an amount
which will aggregate at least f for
each child of school age. U district
share of this sum doe not amount io
$800 (six months at $50 per month),
then the county court must levy upon
the property of such district a special
tax large enough to produce the differ
ence: provided that such special tax
levy does not exceed a 6-mill tax. If
the district's share of the county school
fund and the amount raised by a fi-mill
tax does not amount to $H0O, then the
county court must transfer from the
general county fund to the special
fund of such district an amount that
will equal tho difference.
The apportionment to each district is
made $100 instead of $50 before the
per capita distribution is made.
Another change provides that a
county at any general election may
vote upon the question of creating a
county high school fund. When suen
fund has been created it is place.! under
the control of a county high school
board, consisting of members of the
County court, the county treasurer at
any general election may vote upon
the question of creating a county high
school fund. When such fund has been
created it is placed under the control
of a county high school board, consist
ing of members and tho county school
superintendent.
County superintendents are given
authority to make a partial apportion
ment of the money to any district ujam
the request of tho board of directors of
such district.
Secret societies, including fraterni
ties and sororities, which may now or
hereafter exist in any of the public
schools of the state, including high
schools, are declared unlawful.
The governor shall appoint by the
first Monday in July, limy, a board of
five members, called the Hoard of
Higher Curricula. The members shall
serve without y, excepting traveling
expenses. The duty of the board nhall
be to determine what courses of studies
of departments shall not be duplicated
in the higher educational institution
of Oregon. It shall be the duty of
each institution to conform thereto.
Any changes that are made shall be
come effective at the beginning of the
school year following such determina
tion. The outside doors and other exits of
all school buildings shall be so swung
and hinged that they shall op-n out
ward. Helps Advertise Oregon.
Portland - Passenger traffic officials
of the Hill and Harriman lines center
ing in Portland estimate that fully 50,.
000 people will be brought to the
Norhtwe t during the resent colonist
season, and that a majority of them
will settle in territory tributary to the
Rose City. The west hound colon t
rate of $25 from Missouri river points
which l.as been awarded for this year
s lower than it has been in years and
this is likely to prove a strong impetus
in bringing new settlers to Oregon.
The Portland Rose festival is sendb g
out 250,000 pieces of illustrated litera
ture to help induce would-be-homeseek-ers
to come to Oregon, arm announces
that any person desiring literature of
this character to send away may have
it by simply sending a post card to
festival headquarters in this city. This
literature is artistic in the extreme
and is most convincing in addition.
No Dividends Till March 10.
La Grande There will be no divi
dends issued by the receivership of the
Farmers & Traders National bank until
March 19, at which time a 45 per cent
dividend will be issued to depositors.
When Mr. Niedner asked for blank cer
tificates he informed the receiver that
it would be possible to issue a 40 per
cent dividend on March 1, and a 15 per
cent dividend on March 19, when addi
tional assessments of shareholders will
be at the disposal of the receiver.
With this information as a basis to
work with, the comptroller decreed
that the receiver wait until March 19,
and issue the 45 per cent dividend.
Copper Mine is Bonded.
Raker City New York parties have
taken a bond on a rich copper property
in the Seven Devils country known as
the South Peacock. The bond runs for
15 months and while the price has not
been made public, mining men here
say it is not for less than $200,000.
The South Peacock is reputed rich in
high grade copper and lies adjacent to
the original Peacock, which was work
ed several years ago and which pro
duced sufficient high grade copper to
cause the Seven Devils mining excite
ment.
