REVISE SCHOOL COURSE
County Superintendents Approve am
Urge Stats Board to Adopt It.
Salem. Freedom ia exercising th
election of studies constitutes th
chief feature of the revised hiph schoo
course of study just completed by I
committee appointed by State Super
intendent of Public Instruction Chur
chill, and which, together with th
recommendation of the committee
will be submitted to the state boart
of education at its next meeting fo.
adoption. Both the course of stud
and recommendations were submitte
to the country school superintendent!
ia session here, and both receiver
their approval and indorsement.
Additional features are that a t"Pl
may graduate from the high schoo
without mathematics, the placing o
American history in the third insteai
of the fourth year, and half a year'i
course in civil government The con
sent of the principal, however, is nec
essary for the student to do so. Amer
ican history is made a study of th
third instead of the fourth year. Th
revised course of study provides fot
five courses and it is intended that
all of them shall be taught only in lh
larger high schools. Probably not mo
than one of them will be taught It
the smaller high schools.

the signatures to the petitions to refer
the workmen's compensation act, Har
vey Beckwith and C. P. Babcock. pros
pective members of the workmen's
compensation commissioners under
the law, will ask an investigation by
the district attorney of Multnomah
county.
After several weeks of work. Messrs.
Beckwith and Babcock finished in ex
amination of the petitions and all evi
dence obtained will be turned over to
the district attorney.
While unwilling for the present to
give specific instances of Irregularities
they say they have found sufficient
duplications of signatures and false
addresses to Justify them in aeking
for an investigation by the courts.

LODGE TO SCALE PEAK
Enterprise Knights of Pythias Initiate
in Clouds.
Enterprise. Knights of Pythias ot
Enterprise are preparing for a novel
mid summer outing an Initiation on
the summit of Eagle Cap, a tall peak
in the heart of the Wallowa moun
tains. The plan has been under con
sideration for more than a month and
committees of the lodge are now work
ing out the details. Grand lodge offi
cers have given the project their hear
ty approval.
Eagle Cap, 10,000 feet high, is 25
miles south of Enterprise. The
Knights plan to go out to the base of
the peak the first day, camping there
for the night The second day will
be passed in preparations for the
"ceremony in the ky." From the
camping ground to the summit is a
long and steep climb, up which must
be taken paraphernalia of all kinds
and part of the camp outfit. The ini
tiation will take place at night on the
highest point of the peak.
As the descent is not safe in the
darkness, the lodge members expect
to pass the night on the peak. In the
morning the party will descend to the
meadows at the base of the snowbanks
and will return to Enterprise after
another rest

more severe and deadly In character
than anything in the last Balkan war,
a little light begins to break on the
hitherto obscure operations. The Ser
vians have lost more men than in the
whole previous campaign.
Bulgaria's strategy appears to be to
hold the Greeks in check, probably
with comparatively small forces, while
she deals with Servia. This assump
tion, if correct would explain the vic
torious advance of the Greek army.
Salonikl dispatches continue to re
port Greek victories. The Greeks are
said to have captured 16 guns at Doir
an. Evidence of desperate fighting Is
found in the arrival of 8000 wounded
at Salonikl, taxing the town's accom
modations and resources to the utter
most
A conservative estimate of the killed
and wounded in last week's fighting
fixes the number at from 30,000 to 40
000. Thousands of destitute refugees
from the scene of the fighting are com
ing into Salonikl.
The Greeks continue to make whole
sale charges against the Bulgarians of
burning and pillaging all the villages
they abandon and of committing mur
ders, mutilation and other horrors.

A Hint to Buyers!
OKTKN have we met people, who alter buying at l'ortlaiul
or somewhere else, say: Well, I iliJ not know that
you sola it at tho tame price," or, "I iliJ not know
that you (oik hud it." In buying at homo you have the
guarantee of your local merchant behind the goods, and we
olten exchange goods, afler our customer discover that they
really wanted otuething else. And we in a good many cases
can save you juistnge, expreaa or breakage; In shipping. For
instance, that phonograph or record you can get right here
at the same price as you pay anywhere, and lave express or
freight. And it r ally do not pay in the long run to buy
inferior goods. Now here are tome things we handle and sell
at the same price as any place:
