PORTLAND, OREGON FRATERNAL MATTERS. The last isBue of the Artisan contains pictures and sketches of past master art isans, E. H. Cooper and John Everhart. The sketches ate as follows: "This is the second time we take the liberty of placing the poi i rait of Brother Cooper before our meuioers. He has held the position of secretary of the Oregon City assembly for two years, and in that time has seen it pass two mile stones the 100 mark and the 200 mark. Much of the success of that assembly is due to the careful manner in which Brother Cooper has kept the books and accounts- of the books and accounts, lie is also county clerk of Clackamas county, in which po sition he has served the county to the satisfaction of every citizen." "Brother Everhart, of Oregon City assemb'y oc cupied the chair of master artisan, when the assembly passed the $200 mark. H" is a mau of considerable executive for. e. and looks forward to the day when tlx United Artisans will be noted for . its millions in wealth rather than the num ber of its members." About 400 Clackamas county Wood men attended the celebration, barbecue and subsequent initiation of over 1300 candidates for membership at Mount Tabor Saturday day and evetiing. It was the most novel and grandest frater nal gathering ever held in Oregon. It is estimated that 5,000 Woodmen and Women of Woodcraft were present from the various sections of Oregon and Washington. At the initiation ceremo nies, G. Olds, of Oregon City, filled the position of clerk. I. D. Taylor was a member of the general committee on ar rangements. A delegation from Falls City Lodge visited the Oswego A. O. U. W. Lodge Thursday night, the occasion being the initiation of three new members, with the addition of some impressive scenes, originated by a member of that lodge. The visitors were entertained in a hospi table way by the Oswego Workmen, reputation as entertainers, extends even to the state of Washington. Among those who attended the festivities were : C. H. Dye, chief orator; H. Hamlin, O. (i. Miller, John McUetcbie, B. R. Kimraell, Sam Ho.ike, James Edmunds, David ;Caufield, Theodore Miller, Clar ence Bruner, S. Tanser, Oscar Fosburg.

A steel cirder bridge, 80 feet long, near Rockford, Wash., to replace a Howe Truss bridge. The following culverts will be built, which will permit the frame trestles in those places to be filled in and a solid embankment substituted therefor : Eight-foot arch culvert, 90 feet long, near Fairview. Twelve-foot arch culvert, 105 feet long ; sixteen-foot arch culvert, 100 feet long ; six-foot arch culvert, 120 feet long and another of the same sizn, 72 feet long, between Freeman and Chester. The foregoing makes -a total of 13 bridges and five concrete masonry arc culverts, all to be erected thU year, the contract for the concrete abutments and masonry for the culverts having already been Int. An order was placed some time ago with the American Bridge Co, for 1.661,000 pounds of steel for super structure ot some of the bridges. This order included three steel girders to be erected on concrete abutments which were put in last season on the changed line between Echo and Nolin. More important than any of the above is the contract for what will be known as the "Rowena Change of Line." Seven miles of entirely new road bed on changed location will be built between tunnel No. 3 and The Dalles. The rea sons for this improvement are that the present road is quite crooked and will be abandoned entirely between the points given. The present line has a maxi mum Curvature of 10 degrees, while on the new line it will be but 4 degree?. The new line will be 1000 feet shorter than the 'dd.

The Annual Report of Superintend ent Zlnzer Shows Prosperous Conditions in County Pub- lie Scliools. ; 1 County Superintendent J C. Zinser's annual report shows that there ar 5,688 persons in Clackamas county be tween the ages of 4 and 20 drawing school money, and entitled to the bene fits of free public schooling. Out ot this number 2889 are males, and 2799 fe males. Of these, six are blind, and un a'lle to secure the benfits of the public school system. They are as follows: Frances and Mannie Brickley, Milwau kie; Oscar Crawfoid, Currinsvi'lei Daisy Hostettler, Needy; Lena Klein smith, Clarkes; Oscar Stewart, Stone, school centua shows 20 less persons than last year, but it b no indications that the population is decreasing. It is more likely that none of the district clerks stuffed their census returns this year. The report also shows that only 40 males and 59 females under six years old, have been attending 'school. Two hundred and sixty-three teachers have done duty in 122 school houses in Clackamas county, during the past year, 78 males and 185 females, bightv-tive held state papers, 44 first grade certifi cates, 69 second, 50 third, and 3 primary certificates. Thirty-two are holding permits. Sixty-four hold certificates of institute attendance. Ninety-eight have made application for certificates, and 15 of the number failed. Twenty. two certi Mates granted in other counties were endorsed. The number of teacherti taking educational journals is 158. Nearly one-third of the persons of school age were not puplils 1169 males and 833 females, making a total of 2002. The number attending school outside of districts was 204 The average daily attendance was 30.4, while the average number of months of school taught was 30.4. The number of organized districts is 120, and three new school houses have been erected. The county superintend ent has visited 75 schools. The value of school apparatus and fur niture has materially increased during the year, the value of apparatus being $20,390, while school houses and grounds are valued at $1Z3,4U3. School libraries contain 1976 books, Z9d ot which were added during the past year. It takes considerable money to run the schools of Clackamas county, the receipts from all sources for the past year being $66,589.62, while the disbursements were $63,063.14. The average tax lew is a little over six mills, where districts made special levies. The average monthly salaries are for males, $40.91 ; female, $3179. The num ber of legal voters for school purposes 4280 The revenue from the s'ate school fund will be $2,000 less than lit. year, and it is estimated that the county fund will be about $2500 less than last year on account of the less as sessment valuation and the further tact that the fori closure of state school fund mortgages have decreased the sum total of taxable property. Three new sonooi houses have been erected during the past year, and many other improvements have been made. On the whole, the schools of Clackamas county are in a gratifying condition of progress. Competent talent will have a place on the program of instruction at the annual teachers' institute to be held here dur ing the first week in September by Superintendent Zinser. Among the in structors will be l resident Uampbell, ot the state normal school of Monmouth; Frank Rigler, superintendent of the Portland city schools; K, F. Robinson, county superintendent of Multnomah county. An eftort is being made to se cure Professor Sheldon, of Eugene. Un der the provisions of the new law, teachers who do not hold a certificate of institute attendance, are required to pay back into the district treasury $5 out of their wages. Teachers shouid take a pride in this institute work, and not try to evade the law by attempting to get a certificate by a few hours attendance. Those who try to dodge the issue are the ones that need the instruction most. Some of O. R. & X. Improvements.
