Office in the Caufield.Block, Telephone 521 OREGONCITY Watch Our Market Report UNION HIGH SCHOOL VOTE Project Goes Before Taxpayers of Six Districts. PARKPLACE SCHOOL IS IN Whole Proposition Fas a Close, Narrow Escape, But Is Saved Just In 1 itne. The project for -the establishment of a union high school, after being ap parently knocked out Wednesday af ternoon through the failure of the people of Parkplace to file a petition with the district boundary board, was rejuvenated Wednesday night at the graduating exercises of the Parkplace High School through the efforts of State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion J. H. Ackerman and County Su perintendent J. C. Zinser, as well as many residents of Parkplace who favor the cause of higher education. The petition must receive 25 signa tures and these were obtanied by noon yesterday and the whole proposition submitted to the boundary board. The petitions from all of the six districts were found in order, a vote was order ed for the annual meetings on the third Monday in June. Superinten dent Ackerman made a strong plea for the establishment of the school. In a decision rendered Wednesday by Deputy District Attorney Eby, the project to establish a union high school in this city was quashed. At the request of County School Superin tendent J. C. Zinser the district at torney's office made an examination of the legal status of the case, and found that the failure to obtain the necessary number of signatures in the Parkplace district invalidated the proposition. It was thought that, not withstanding the failure of Parkplace to enter, that the remaining districts of Oregon City, West Oregon City, Wil lamette Canemah and Mount Pleas ant could proceed, but the law says that "Whenever it is desired to unite two or more contigous school dis tricts In this state for high school purposes only, a petition from each district shall be presented to the dis trict boundary board, setting forth specifically the districts It is proposed to consolidate, and also the site for the location of the union high school building." The antagonism of the people of Parkplace to the project is partly due to' the action of the board of directors of the city schools, who offered two rooms in the Barclay bulding as a site for the school for the first year. The local directors had no Interest in the matter save for general promotion of higher education, and they were fam iliar with the law which makes it mandatory for the exact site of the school to be stated in the petitions. There is an undercurrent of feeling against combining the union high school in the same building with the public schools of Oregon City, and the terms of the petitions were not satis factory to many voters residing ou'. side of the limits of the city, and es pecially the people of Parkplace.

We believe it is one of the most complete in the state and one of the best things in it is our immense stock of Sherwin - Williams Paint. We are as proud of S.W.P. as a boy with a new pair of red-top boots. Why? be cause every year we are MUKiramnmmmH mimmmmmmmm finding out more new and good things about it. As our friends and customers use it they tell us how pleased they are, until actually we are swelled up over having the best mixed paint in the country. That makes us happy. The spreading capacity of the Shtrwin -Williams paint is so great that without question it is the most economical paint made. Even those cheap $1.40 to 1.50 paints cost more in the end than ours, because 5 gallons of S-W-P will cover as much surface as 6 or 7 gallons of this kind, without taking into consideration the much greater wearing qualities. Our paint man is ready to help you in every possible way, and whether you want a pint or a barrel we will be glad to give you all the information you may require.
