bably bo a fow days yot beforo
tho matter was concluded. Mr.

Dunning School
Music
MRS. PRANK A. RICE
Announces that she has received from Carrie Iouise Dunning a
diploma as an exponent of the Dunning System of Im
proved Music Study, which includes the Faelten prin
ciples concentration and the Leschetzky Technic.
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters and
rhythm sticks. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with grand
staff attached, simplifies notatiou by uniting these two important
factors.
Hach difficulty is presented in such a thorough manner that
a child of ten or twelve years can master transposition, scale
building, melody writing by dictation, the Dominant Seventh
and Modulation. The written work teaches the student that music,
as a language, they must learn to write, as well as interpret.
The muscles of fingers, wrists and arms are strengthened by
table technic; ear training and sight reading forms a part of every
lesson.
Mrs. Rice will be glad to show you BY APPOINTMENT
the especially made apparatus for teaching this system which in
cludes one class lesson and one private lesson each, week, making
a far more economical way of acquiring a musical education. ,

without much further loss of

If Iho llirec street car meas
ures pass, it is declared that the
oar fare can bo kept down lo
nol over 7 cents, while if Iho
(hrcc ordinances fail to carry!
tho Public Service Commission
lias let it bo known that the faro
will go to 8 cents, ami that this
increase will be necessary as a
result of the thorough investiga
tion of the finances of Hie com
pany made by botlMhe commis
sion and Iho city's own exports.
II is therefore going to make
a (iiiieronee oi one cent lor

il is in Hint phase ol the badly

The iuvesligalioii shows that

Take Iho ease of the small

A SPLENDID RECORD
Major Hiram U. Welch, who
is a candidate for the Hcpuhli-
can noimiiatiou lor assessor ot
mmiiioman i.ouuiy to succeed
Henry 12. Heed, who is not a
I. IS ... ,
candidate for rc-clcclion. Major
Welch is now Chief Field Dep
uty in the Lounty Assessor s ol-
ficc and lias had long experi
ence as a valuation deputy, lie
promises, ift elected, efficient
and economical service. His
campaign slogan is "Long ex
perience in the Assessor's office
a sure guarantee or efficient
service."
Horn hi Illinois on October
1201b, 1870, Major Welch came
lo Lebanon. Oregon, wilii his
parents in 1881. Ho was edu
cated in the politic schools and
Willamette University. Ho came
(o Porlland in 1800, first en
gaging in Hie machinery busi
ness, and later entering Hie
service of the county.
His military career began
twenty-six years nun when he
euiisicd as a private in tne la-
. . M
Minus Hallery A, Field Artillery,
ol me urouon National uuard.
In Iho Spanish-American war lie
served as second lieutenant of
the hallery. lie was chosen cap
tain of Hallery A in 1808, and
alter serving in tiiat capacity
lor sixteen years lie resigned.
Following his resignation lie
was appointed minor in the iu-
siicclor-gcnerars department of
Hie .National (ittard by doveruor
Wllhvcomhe. and ns such wns
called into service during (he
Mexican (rouble in 101(1.
When Iho United Stales en
tered llie world war. Major
Welch volunteered his services,
allhough he was past the age
Html ol !; years. In Hie spring
ol MILS no was appointed eaii
lain of licit! artillery in Hit
National Army, and soul In
(lamp Jackson, S. (1. Suhsi
(luenlly, ho was transferred to
(lamp Taylor, Kentucky, and
promoted (o major.
will ho called upon lo hear their
'air share of the lax burden,
whereas al present they do nol
pay one eenl for such benefits.
It was shown in the hearings
holorc the C.ilv Council that
some of Hie big business iutor-
esls ahsoluloly depended upon
street car service lor their pros
perils- and that I hey could not
exist (10 days without such serv
ice, ami yet Ihey did not con
tribute one cent toward main
laiiiiug this service.
From this fact, too, therefore,
il seems thai the only Hung that
llie small lax-payer and proper-
ly-owuer can do il lie would
conserve his own interests is lo
vole anil work for Iho adoption
of all Ihreo of (hose measures.
It is only in this way that the
car-rider ami tho modest home
owner can got a smiarc deal and
be relieved of excessive burdens
thai rigidly should bo shared by
all (he tax-payers and nol by the
small ones alone, (.onlrihuled.
