Mr. Cauntt, Mis3 Crabtree, Miss Hollister and Mrs. Pratt have taught here before, and no better recommendation can be offered than that they are retained. Miss Tiffany is a graduate of the State University at Eugene and comes highly recommended. Mr. Davis is a graduate of Corvallis and is an expert in his line, commercial work.

Townsend, whom she had met in the hop fields near Salem, on Tuesday, September 7, at the Salem Hotel in the Capitol City. It is not known where the couple will reside, but it is quite probable t h a t they will live in Stayton. Arthur Forrette and family were Hill Lake and mother ■hopping in otayton one day this week, , from Muhatna Tuesday. After twelve years as commandant of the Oregon Soldier's Home at Rose- buig, W. W. Elder will be removed from his post, October 1. Mis success- will be Robert C. Markee of Portland. Action removing Elder came Friday- near the close of a meeting of the state board of control, when Governor With- ycombe brought the matter up in the form of a motion. State Treasurer Kay voted with the governor for El der’s removal, while Secretary of State Olcott registered his opposition to the action. Though the remove of Elder has been rumored to be in prospect ever since Governor Withycombe went into office, the action came somewhat in the na ture of a surprise, as Elder hitherto has been supported by both Kay and Ulcott. In making the motion for Elder’s re moval, Governor Withycombe said that he deemed a change would prove to be for the best interests of the institution. Secretary Olcott was emphatic in his declarations to the board t h a t be thought Elder should be retained, as serting that if as he had heard, the Pe- movai of Elder was due to charges which had been made against the com mandant’s daughter, that she had re ceived pay from the state while em ployed elsewhere, he could not condemn the action enough. He said that an af fidavit made in connection with the charges against the young woman bad been refuted in another affidavit by the person making the first one. “ I want to make it plain,” said the governor, “ that this change has noth ing to do with any charges that may have been made against Mr. Elder’s daughter.” Eider was first appointed comman dant of the soldier’s home by Chamber- lain when he was governor. He is a Democrat. Mr. Elder has not decided finally ss to just what he will do after October !, although it is possible that he may come back to Stayton to live, where he still has considerable property interests. In an interview with his son, W. A. Elder, who is postmaster here, it was stated that h:s removal was purely po litical.

Pendleton, Ore., Sept. 8—To witness ! the most elaborate and extensive pre sentation of the world famous Round- Up which starts September 23 will be practically all t h t prominent state officials o f Oregon. There will b e Governor Withycombe, State Treasur er Kay, Secretary o f State Olcott, United States Senators Chamberlain and Lane and Congressmen McArthur and Sinnott and President of the Sen ate W. Lair Thomas in addition to a number of other dignitaries. The big program has been completed and entries are coming in daily. Ev erything is in readiness for one of the biggest crowds ever seen in Pendleton, coming mighty close to t h e record mark o f 1913 when 75,000 passed through the gates. While all events on the Round-Up program have a spice and thrill to them there are two which will be doubly spicy this year, the Maverick race_ and the steer roping contest. This because the steers to be used in these events are the wildest things ever seen on the Round-Up grounds, so wild they are difficult to handle and the directors are seriously considering whether it will be safe to put them on the arena without a stronger fence protecting the grand stand and bleachers. All the big events are practically fill ed now and the contestants are coming all the way from Oklahoma and Canada to try for the world’s championship. Pendleton is making the usual prepara tions for entertaining the crowd and give them a royal welcome when they arrive.
