School officials of Portland es timate that the change in text books recently ordered by the school board will entail an ex penditure in Portland alone of $80,000 for new books. Of this sum, $60,000 will be the cost of books purchased by tho gram mar grades, and $20, 0W. by the h0ved one's calf. Quickly sho High School pupils.

Registration books for countv and state are now open at Jus tice J. E. Williams' office, and will" remain open until October 15th, after which they will not again be opened until 1916.

While the road is being built by the prop erty owners of the district at a cost of $100,000, it will be of great public benefit providing a scenic drive that will link it with the Columbia River highway and the city's boulevard system.

It is generally admitted that tho state government is already top heavy with too many public officials, boards and commis sions. High taxes and bureaus are known to bo good friends, so those ofiice seekers who were after nominations last spring expressed in their slogans the fact that they were opposed to commissions and would reduce taxation. Such slogans made ideal bait for votes, for tho peo ple at that time clearly demon strated their ideas in the mat ter.
