She was able to locate her home place only by two walnut trees which are still standing near the spot where the house was located, near where the Lenta Garage now stands. These trees were planted by her father, Waterman Gates, who took it as a donation land claim. Mrs. Coffee is now stopping with Mrs. (UPknn, 9628 40th avenue S. E. At a recent meeting of the Woodmere club, Commissioner Barbur stated that if the people of this district wish lights, parks and street improvements, they will have to vote the tax levy which comes up for con sideration November 12. lie stated also that the withdrawal of police protection from the .suburban districts and the pos sible loss of present fire sta tions is due to lack of funds. He appealed to the pride of the residents in a greater Portland, which the added tax levy of one mill would make possible. The election notice calls for a levy of two mills but, as we are now paying an extra levy of one mill as voted a year Ago, the additional tax would be only one mill. When commis- sion form of government was adopted in 1913 an eight-mill tax was levied to meet the mu nicipal expenses. If the new proposed levy goes into effect the total tax will be ten mil's. The Woodmere club is back ing the amendment because it believes it to be for the better ment of Woodmere in particu- lar and of the Mt.

All the teachers were ushered into the office at' twelve o’clock ' and from there were grand marched into the teachers’ lunchroom, where they found themselves in a veritable woodsy place, their feet sinking into a carpet of autumn leaves and their eyes greeted by softly yellowed lights and walls of leafy boughs. Fastened to the boughs were notices, such as one used to sec at an old-fashioned country fair, containing quips and jokes at the expense of the faculty. After the guests had vented their delight they were directed to a mammoth pumpkin in the center of the room, from the hollowed interior of which each drew a number. Sets of two’s drew the same number and these were duplicated in small, also hollowed, pumpkins which contained a delicious du plex lunch. From a table in one. * corner, countv-fair-wise with the notices, a delectable fruit salad was served in charm ing apple shells, and apple cider was dispensed in glasses. At the conclusion of the delight ful repast the whole group repaired to the assembly hall where they indulged in- time- , honored games. The committee in charge of this surprise was the following: the Misses Hart, MacLeod, Greenman, Colvin and Prosser.
