At the meeting of the city school di rectors Monday night, resolutions were passed. Indorsing the creation of one or two county high schools, and advis ing that It Is not advisable to add the Eleventh grade to the present city high school course. The prevailing sentiment of the board is that the addition of another grade to the course in the Rarelav Hiirh School would be weak and Ineffective. Members of the board who have served the tax payers of the city for a number of venra nolnt nut that the Eleventh grade that was formerly In existence was very unsatisfactory in point oi attendance, and after being given a thorough trial it was discontinued. It la naturally Dresumed that If only one county high school was created that It would be located at the county seat of Clackamas, and this would re sult in a fine high school that would be a pride to Oregon City and Clackamas County, and would permit every quali fied child in the whole county to enter free of tuition. ' A letter from State Senator J. E. Hedges to the board "gave an Impetus to the action in which the Senator had been requested to urge annmmediate action from the board for an expres sion, either to add the Eleventh grade to our schools, or not to do so, so that Immediate action might follow. Members of the Alumni Association of the Barclay High School who are actively interested in the establish ment of a high school in this city win now proceed to circulate the necessary Detltlons to brine the county high school proposition before the voters at the coming election in June. l Early Bird Debaters. W.? S. U'Ren, the "step-father" of Statement No. 1, has issued a chal lenge to Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, to debate with him on the stump the merits of that much talked of statement. It appears that the lat ter gentleman has questioned the par ty standing of Mr. U'Ren, and he, in turn, says the Judge is talking in sur prises In view of his opposition to Fur nish i In the gubernatorial fight six years ago. Mr. U'Ren says that he will take the position that It Is the duty of every voter who would he true to the Americal Ideal of government to refuse to vote for the nomination or election of any candidate for the Legislature who does not promise, without any qualifications whatever, that as a member of the Legislature he will obey the instructions of the people in choosing a United States Senator. It is apparent from this rea soning that Mr. U'Ren, who is regis tered as a Republican, will himself bolt, the ticket, if the Clackamas Coun ty legislative candidates are not pledged to Statement No. 1, and candi dates from the Democratic party should uphold the statement. The open letter to Judge Lowell follows: ' My attention was called a few days, ago to your very Interesting and somewhat personal letter of January 27, in the Daily Oregonian, attacking Statement No. 1 and its advocatea. There are men in Oregon who might consistently criticise my party regu larity because I have not always voted ti e Republican ticket, fcut it comes with, very bad grace from one who took as active a part as you did in 1902 in iting the present Democratic gov ernor against the candidate of your own party. ' But I know of no one in Oregon better able than yourself to present i- the voters in plausible form any r ons there may be for returning to old plan of electing the United ",:...Vs Senators in the Legislature. Ti at the old plan means election by a fuw corruptible members of the Leg i; iature you surely ought to know by th;,g time. I therefore challenge you nr.f to a joint discussion of the issue, in which I will take the position that it ig the duty of every voter who would L" true to the American ideal of gov-t- iment to refuse to vote for the nom ination or election of any candidate for the Lelulature who does not prom lse, without any qualifications what ever, that as a member of the Leglsla- ture he will obey the Instructions of the people In choosing a United States Senator. This means, of course, that I will uphold Statement No. 1 and the people's right to Instruct. "I shall be pleased to arrange with you for this discussion at the earliest possible date and for aa many such meetings, If you have the courage to defend your convictions on the stump You will remember that in the cam palgn two years ago you refused to meet me In such discussions. "Trusting that you will favor me with an Immediate reply, I am very truly yours, "W. S. U'REN." BAD WRECK ON SHERIDAN BRANCH Local Train Heavily Loaded Strikes a . Broken Rail at End of Trestle Three Killed and Twenty-three are Injured. Three were killed and 23 were Injured, one very seriously, by the de railment of the Sheridan local on a short trestle bridge about three-fourths of a mile west of Forest Grove" Tues day evening. The dead are: MRS. EDWIN BAES and 6-months- old daughter, of Forest Grove. J. A. M'DONALD, of McMlnnvllle. Mrs. J. H. Brown, aged 60, of. Sheri dan, was badly crushed, and may not recover. The accident resulted from a broken rail, one 30-foot section at the west end of the trestle bridge being splint ered into four pieces by the weight of the heavily loaded coaches. The defective rail apparently did not give way until after the engine, mall and baggage cars had crossed in safety. The smoker was the first to leave the track, carrying with It two day coaches. The smoker and the first day coach ran over the ties for a dts-' tance of 20 yards and Ditched from the trestle to the ground ten feet be low, striking on their sides. The sec ond day coach also left the track and turned only partly over. Miss Grace Harding, of Gaston, a passenger in the rear coach, was thrown through a window into less than two feet of water beneath the trestle, but escaped uninjured. Residents of Forest Grove hurried to the scene and assisted the injured, removing them from windows on the upper side of the overturned cars. The dead bodies were removed to a lo cal undertaking establishment. None of the injured sustained any broken limbs, and with the exception of Mrs. Brown, who received eerlous Internal Injuries, few required the ser vices of a physician, their injuries con sisting principally of bruises and slight cuts from broken glass. When the passengers had been as sisted from their uncomfortable posi tions, such of the injured as resided at points further west were placed in the baggage and mail cars and shortly after 9 o'clock that part of the train which remained intact proceeded to Carlton and McMlnnvllle, where sev eral of the injured live.

Sprlngmeyer, expressman, of 1016 First St., Portland, Ore., says: Exposure to rough weather and tne jarring of my wagon brought on kid ney trouble. My back ached almost constantly and the action of the kid neys seemed weak and the passages of the secretions too frequent. Doan's Kidney. Pills came to my notice and I got a box and began using them at once. The pain in my back was soon relelved and the kidney secretions became normal. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills brought about this re sult." (From statement made Feb. 28, 1903.) ' ' . On Jan. 12. 1906. Mr. Sprlngmeyer confirmed the above statement and added: "Since the time referred to in my former testimony I have not had a trace of kidney trouble.

Guaranteed In Catarrhal Troubles. No other remedy or treatment for catarrh has ever been as popular or made so many remarkable cures in Oregon City as Hyomei. The hpst nponle attest its curative virtues, say Huntley Bros., who are the local agents, ine iair way m which Hyomei was sold, to refund the money unless it gave satisfaction, was the best proof when it was Introduced that it possessed unusual curative powers. Huntley Bros, took all the risk of the treatment giving satisfac tion, and left it to the purchasers to be the judge. Later, when Hyomei was used and recommended by our well-known phy sicians and business men and their wives as a treatment that absolutely cured catarrh, no matter how seriotm or long standing, the sales rapidly grew, and today there is no other remedy in Huntley Bros.' stock that has such, a large and staple sale. The first breath of Hyomei's healing air kills all catarrhal poison. Try Hyomei today on Huntley Bros.' offer to refund the money if the treat ment does not give you satisfaction. .

When a man comes out for any office now, the question he will surely come ' up against Is, "what measures do you represent, and will you represent our measures, yes or no?" The way yon answer we will take our cue to an swer on election day. Liberal. Monday was a pretty day, and plows started again. Stock looks good, with grass start ing. ' ' J The frogs gave us their spring song Monday night. Hope they are not fooled on the weather. What about all the winter prophets; they have all failed. Oregon is changing rapidly In her climatic conditions. Misses Kate Ridings, Flado Burns, Alice Moore and Mrs. Fred H. Burns and son were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. Wright Saturday night. Games of different kinds were indulged In until a late hour. Miss Ridings donned her apron and went to the kitchen and soon had a large pan of pehoche made and the games soon came to an end and they all partook of the sweets. Yes, and he was 57 on his birthday. Two correspondents from this place, and next week there will be another. Who say sour city limits are not ex panding? Our merchant has about 2800 pounds new crockery, and all those leaning toward the matrimonial bureau had better give him a call "Kumtux." The Mullno correspondent must re member that the Liberal correspond ent was so busy with the leap year problem that he forgot to look even for his own shadow. Casper Zlnger, one of our best skat ers, fell Saturday night at the rink and broke the bones in his wrist. He went to Dr. Powell at Molalla and had the Injured limb set. The runaway near Liberal was not so bad after all. The merchant caught the horses, and the neighbor turned out and goth the bugy righted up, put in a few bolts and Mr. Elliott and Mr. Young went on to Oregon City. Mr. Elliott had a sprained shoulder and Mr. Young had a skinned face and one knee hurt. The horses kicked over the tongue, and they could not hold them. Cams. Well, here we are near the middle of February and no winter. Daisies are still in bloom In the garden.

Where is there another country where farmers can plow and sow every month in the year? Fall sown grain is' growing and bids fair for a big crop. Dr. Goucher was getting seed potatoes of Ed How ard for early planting. Pretty early, Doctor, but I have no doubt but you will take the premium on early spuds. William X. Davis has bought the beautiful farm adjoining him of Kalb- nash Bros., and running two teams plowing and sowing, and next summer will be reaping and mowing. This is the third farm Mr. Davis has bought In the last two years. Who says farm ing don't pay. Mr. Johnson is plowing up his new farm and his wife is gathering plenty of eggs. She sold $10 worth in Jan uary. Who says chickens don't pay? Dr. Casto made a call upon Mr. Fred Vonderahe a few days since. Mr. Vonderahe is having his or chard pruned. The new work done on the Molalla road last fall is just as fine as a fid dle. Give more rock road, Mr. Jagger. Well, politics are opening up pretty lively, and I see by the papers that a few would-be bosses would like to Anatffw thn InlHoHvf ant pafuronrlllTTI and Statement No. 1. The signs of the times indicate that these reforms have come to stay. Had we had the reform 20 years ago, it would have been better for Oregon, and Mr. Heney would not have had to send so many to prison. I just wish to give a gentle hint to those who are aspiring to seats in the next Legislature to endorse Statement No. 1, and trust yourselves in tha hands of the voters. Don't think the voters do not know who they want to serve them.' "A word to the wise is sufficient." In reference to the referendum bill to be voted on, who has a better right to make- laws under which we must live than the people. It Is said the voters will not know what all bills mean. Don't you believe half of this story. They have all become printed and the voters have seen and signed the petitions, knowing just what they were signing, and they are as capable of judging what is for the interest of the people and State as any political grafter. So far as the United States Senator is concerned, Mr. Cake, ' of Portland, has started right came out for No. 1. I do not know how Mr. Cake will run, but he has started. I do not know him, but will all have an oppor tunity to hear him and others speak during the campaign, , and the people win mnkn no mistake. They made no mistake at the last election as Mr. Bourne has so far done well, and no Oregonian need be ashamed of his work; the same with Hawley.
