This is an increase of two mills
over last year, and on the school
district valuation of ovor$l,100,
000, an amount in excess of
$30,000 will thus be raised. Had
it not been for tho tree text
books and the purchase of the
school block, a tax of l.7 would

Tho A. G. Long Company of
Portland gave an oxcollont dem
onstration of the workings of
their auto truck and pumping
engine on the streets Saturday
afternoon. A largo number of
our citizens witnessed tho dem
onstration and were particularly
pleased with tho showing made.
There can be question but that
the apparatus is a splendid suc
cess in every way. Streams of
water wore thrown longdistancos
with apparently little eifort, and
tho auto made 35 miles per hour
with ease in coming up from tho
water front. It scorned to bo
the gonoral opinion that if this
city purchased a fire engine it
should be of the naturo of tho
one demonstrated by Mr. Long's
renrosontativo. A combination
chemical and hoao truck also
gave an exhibition.

Mr. S. C. ordored a lino big
duck for Thanksgiving dinner.
No one was at home when it was
dolivered, and as thore was no
C. O. D. tag on tho bird, it was
loft ooso in the hen yard, the
family looked in vain for the
headless duclc they woro oxnect-
iiiL'. and disappointedly dined
upon a roast of nork, instead of
the roast duck their mouths were
watering for. They also looketl
in vain for tho owner of the
stray duck they found in their
hen houso. None of the neigh
hoi's claimed it, so Mr. S. C.
finally took it over to Mr. C. C,
who wanted to raise ducks, as
well as chickens. He is some
what of a weather prophet, and
thinks wo will havo good weathor
for ducks from now on. Mr. S.
C. has found to his sorrow that
ho chanted himsolf out of a feast.

G .L. Purrine oll'ors some valu
able suggestions as to the method
of deciding the park question,

It might be well for the citlsens
of the first ward also to follow
the suggestion offered by Mr.
Perrine, and pick a site that
would meet the approval of the
great majority of eitisensin that
ward. Til is would relieve the
city council of quite a responsi
bility, which they would no
doubt appreciate. However the
park scheme shall finally be
decided, the desirability of a
pla.a west of. the city hall should
not bo overlooked.
"Oregon First and AH Ore
gon," is auggostod as the slogan
of the Oregon I2xHsitlon com
mission in charge of arrange
ments for a display from this
state al San Francisco in 1016.
In addition to a building of Ore
gon wood, furnished with Oregon
furniture, with a restaurant
serving Oregon food, and with
.sidewalks made of Oregon brick,
it is now proposed that soil be
taken from Oregon to completely
re-surface tho Oregon building
sito on tho Imposition grounds,
and to plant therein native Ore
gon (lowers, shrubs and small
trees. To secure the necessary
material for such planting, it is
suggested that an exhibit garden
be established in Portland and
school children all over the state
be unlisted in the work of col
lection. The commission has
been assured that iace for such
a garden would be provided free
on the campus of Reed College.
If but one specimen is received
from each of the 2A00 schools of
the state, a considerable tract of
land will be required to care for
them until they aro shipped south
for permanent planting.
