Mrs. Swope then addressed the ladies

of the season.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
FOR EAST SIDE
8outb-eaat Portland is to have a high
school at no remote date.
There has
been tome opposition to such a school
for some time, partly because of the
coet, partly because of its
nature.

But it io now agreed that a
school of agricultural science is scarcely
necessary, though a high school in this
section would be very convenient.
The
property purchased lies east of the Mt.

High School will be located on it.

Operatta For July 29
One of the most beautiful musical
programs ever offered in the state will
be presented at the Grange Hall on the
evening of the 29th. "Goldlocks and
the Three Bears” is the name of the
Operatta which requires about fifty
voices.
Several tan to people have
seen this operatta and they say it is
beautiful and eo well carried out.
The town should feel comptimented
to have such a feature offered to it.
Peter Roth of Vancouver made a
business trip to Lente Monday and
while here remembered the Herald
with a renewal. He says dairying is
good in his part of the country.
When preparing material for drawn
work, wash and dry it before attempting
-to pull the threads. The work is much
easier if this is done.
Hon. Frank 8. Regan of Illinois, a
Chautauqua
lecturer,
attorney,
and
specialist in tax investigations will give
his lecture and chalk talk on the "Fool
Tax Payer" in
the Lente Evangelical
Chugph next Monday evening at 8 p. m.
Mr. Regan has been in the state
nearly a month, speaking one or more
times in all the principal towns from Hea-
side to Eugene and is repeatedly asked
for return dates.
Nearly every one of us think his taxes
art- high. Regan has the remedy and it
is not single tax either. He says there
is one public service coporation in thifl
county which would pay >251083 more
taxes than it now pays if common
honeety
prevailed,
and
another
1704,
if it payed on its property as
the ordinary business man pays on hie.
Five breweries in Portland pays >2400
license but are granted reductions such
that their taxes are reduced >2385 which
makes them pay >15 or >3 each to the
public treasurer. Such revelations have
interested all who have heard Mr.
Regan. If you come you will hear and
see other things that will interest you.
The following unsolicited telegram
speaks for itself and was sent to the
next engagement:
Rainier, Ore., July 13.—W. 8. Hurst,
Hubbard—You will miss the opportunity
of your life if you fail to hear Regan.
He is a thunderbolt of facte and figures;
his appeals to the conscience and reason
of the voters are irresistible.
Hear
Regan expose frauds in tax exemptions
and learn why your taxes are so high.
(Signed) J. W. MacCallum, Con­
gregational Pastor.
C. L. Dark. M. E. Pastor.
J. A. 8chunesen, Mer­
chant.
The Oregon Civic taague will listen to
Mr. Regan Saturday 12 M. at the Mult­
nomah Hotel.
He comes to Lente under the manage­
ment of the local Oregon Dry committee.
The entertainment is free but formerly
was priced 50 cents and >1.00 admission.
This is by far the greatest attraction
eVer offered to Lente in the way of civic
enlightenment and the committee hope*
our citixens, regardless of party or creed,
will make a special effort to hear this
address.
CITIZENSHIP MEETING
AT 6ILBERT CHAPEL
Meetings in tbe big tent at Myrtle
Park Station will continue nightly, dos­
ing Sunday night, August 2. The in­
terest here has been so good that tbe
stay here has been prolonged a week
beyond tbe original intention.
Milton
H. St. John, the evangelist, and a
musician of ability, speaks on subjects
, of present practical need and interest.
| He is an orator of more than ordinary
ability, and a young man ot great en­
thusiasm. It is worth while to bear
him. Sunday morning at 11 o’clock,
July 26, will be especially noteworthy,
for Erank 8. Regan of Rockford, Ill.,
will give in the tent his nationally
famous illustrated lecture, “Tbe Fool
Taxpayer." Mr. Regan has discovered
some sensational facte concerning tax
condition* in Oregon where he has been
investigating for three week*. He is a
cartoonist oj rare ability and will draw
pictures as he talks. It will be worth
>5 to hear him, but will coet nothing.
Tbe public is cordially invited to all
these meeting*.
Within tbe past few days work has
been started on the building for the
new fish cannery and cold storage plant
to be lacated ai Bay City. The building
will be 04 x 98 feet and among other
up-to-date facilities will include an
ice-making plant with a capacity of
ten tons per day. The building will
be used for handling Tillamook Bay
salmon, both freeb and canned, and its
estimated coot will be between >25,000
and >30,000. In addition to the main
building, the company will erect a
dock 32 x 80 feet for tbe accommodation
of the fisherman, and will also build
drying rack* for nets.

It has been cleared off and set to grass

restful spot. Tbe view is magnificent.
At the very topmost point «lands one
ot Portland’s landmarks, evidently built
many years ago, one ot tbe most
magnificent old family home* in the
entire town. Just what the view would
be from the topmost window would be
bard to imagine, but it must be superb.
