the secretary of state at Salem,
the first definite step has been
taken in the organization of tho
Portland Vegetable Oil Mills
company, which is to establish
an industry that will require
about 2000 tonB a month of copra.
The authorized capital is $1,000,
000, divided into shares of the
par value of $100 each. More
than half of tho stock has been
subscribed, chiefly by business
men who have appraised tho
valuo of tho enterprise in develop
ment of tho traffic of tho port.
Tho remainder of tho capital
stock Will be quickly absorbed,
in tho opinion of those familiar
with tho industry. Tho loca
tion of tho now plant will bo on
a tract of land containing nino
acres, located at Linnton, and
with a water front of 400 feet.
It ia-located between tho rail
road tracks and water front, with
every advantage for tho economic
handling of cargo and products.

:swmi School of Improved
Music Study
MRS. FRANK A. RICE
Announces that she has received from Carrie Louise Dunning a
diploma as an exponent of the Dunning System of Im
proved Music Study, which includes the Faelten prin
ciples concentration and the Leschstzky Technic.
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters and
rhythm sticks. An Ingeniously constructed keyboard with grand
staff attached, simplifies notation by uniting these two important
factors.
Each 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 arfns are strengthened by
table technic; ear training' and sight reading forms apart 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.

A growth of 51,074 residents
for Portland has been experienced
in tho last 10 years, according
to census ngures just announced,
which place tho city's popula
tion at 258,288. This means an
increase of 24.G per cent. Pract
ically all of its growth has
been since 1845, when it was
first recognized as a town. Kb
area then composed 16 cityblocks.
One year later tho city was en
larged and covered ono square
mile of territory. But today Port
laud includes G6 Enuaro miles.
The first census ever taken here
was in 1850, when 821 persons
wero counted. Tho city grow
so rapidly that in 1910. GO venra
later, its official census was
given aB 207,214 people and Port
land was then ranked as tho
twenty-oiirhth city in tho United
States. Ten years after the first
constiH was taken the city had

There is great need, it is argued
by tho school directors, for permanent-
school buildings. Tho
present buildings aro filled to
overflowing and thousands of
pupils are being housed in tem
poral y structures. A three-mill
