Sc lane a Clauai Astoria New achool houae dedicated in Battle Creek district. No one would have doubted for an Inatant that the Stayton achoola, and more particularly the high achool was on the high road to aucreaa. if they had attended the opening day on Mon* day o f thia week. Aa had been predicted by the Mall, the work moved off with the smooth- neaa and regularity o f clock work. None o f the gueaaea and indeciaion o f laal year rauaod by lack o f room and equipment, but the thoroughneaa o f a well directed plan fully organised be forehand. Forty-two pupils enrolled in the high school the first day, and thirty more will l>e here in the next ten days, which will fill every available seat in the assembly. The high school wilt be so full that already the board has hired another teacher, who will bo here next Monday to trke charge o f the science depart ment. The board was lucky to secure the services o f Miss Fisa Caspar o f Union, Ora. * In the Commercial rooms, the twelve new double bookkeeping desks made by Murphy Sk I.ampman give that depart ment a really commercial look. The desks are made from “ all Oregon” ma'.erial, out o f Stayton lumber by Slayton mechanic«, and are second to none. In the typewriting room seven type writers keep up a busy hum, and it is the guess of The Mail that two more will have to be added before three months. In the grades, the activity is none leas. Mrs. Pratt has forty-four en rolled with ten more soon to follow. Miss Hollister, who teaches the third and fourth, has twenty-seven enrolled and fifteen prospective students. Miss Marshall in room three, started out with thirty-two and will soon add twelve more, while Miss Crabtree, who tenches the seventh and eighth reports twenty-eight enrolled with twelve more to come aa soon as they get home from hop picking. Stayton only needs a little more push a little more encouragement to be the leading educational center o f the east ern hslf o f Marion and Linn counties. Don't knock. Give that push. Go and see the school, (one o f these fine after noons) in full operstion, and go home and say "T h e Best is None Too G ood" for the children. And the pupils should always keep this in mind: That the patrons and taxpayers are doing their very best to provide the best in every sense; and to use their opportunities to advantage all the time. Take care o f the building. Don’ t break up the equipment, either in or out o f doors. In fact live up to the spirit o f a true "School T o w n ," The following pupils are enrolled in the 'ugh school: Stayton—A. K. Gard ner, Jr., Cacelia Mielke, Maude Fskew, Edwin Keech, J. L.

Gilbert Pearson, o f New York City, secretary o f the National Asso ciation o f Audubon Societies, Thé res ervation threatened is at Lake &alheur in southeastern Oregon, and is a breed ing place for hundreds o f thousands o f wiki ducks, wild geese and other water fowl. Application has been made t o the federal authorities for permission to drain the lake in order to secure the lane! it covers. The lake ia six miles wide, by fifteen miles long, and t a about six feet deep. It supplies an ideal breeding place for wide water- fowl, Mr. Peargon says, and therefore, it attracts wild geese and ducks from Canada in large numbers. Ita destruc tion, he declares will leave thousands o f young water-fowl without a hame. Secretary Pearson has taken t h e matter up with the officials o f the General Land office, who have promised to investigate. It is understood that those who plan the destruction o f the bird reservation have already secured the cooperation o f the state land board o f Oregon. For that reason, Mr. Pear son regards the situation as immnent and believes it will require quick and earnest appeal to the Secretary o f the interior from those who believe in the protection o f wild birds to prevent the destruction o f the colony. “ There are about five million guns in the United States” said Mr. Pearson, “ and the only way to preserve our migratory game birds is to have these sanctuaries—areas in which they can never be killed, under a n y circum stances.
