Ourin the pant year the school Opulation of the dirtiiet has iiicieaned from lU.'lto 11 HO. The district is in heller financial condition than it has beeu in years. In addition to contolidatinx the npr Krades ol the school, the board, by reor KHiiiziiiK its schedule of teachem' wages, by which a slight advance in trages has been granted all along Ihe line, has re duced the expense of conducting the schools of the city without impairing their efficiency. Dr. . h. Carll succeeds Mr. CaulloiJ aa chairman of the board of di rectors, ( Ileport of Hoard of Director. The following report, submitted the board of directors, was adopted : by The k-IiooIb were opened for ihe fall term on September 2.', 11)02, and there waa a larie attendance" of"Tinpils from the beginning ami, although we had pro vided an additional teacher anil fitted up a iijniii lor herpelf and pupila, we still found that each teacher had as many children to lie cared fur as could be Well accoiniiiod.iteil, and indeed in gome of the grades mure pupils applied than could he provided J"r, ami this condition continued uiilil well along in the epring, when the attendance brgan to decrease. We repoited hint year that we had employed I'luf. II. A. Haves, of I lender son, Kentucky, as euiierintendent, but i-hoMly I elure school opened in the fall be s-ii.t us a lutturof reninat on and re iplesled to lie released (roin his contract. '1 he hoHld alter couniilerat on of Ihe nint- ter coi.i linletl that It was the hei-t thing I to do ami i-oiiM-qileiitly Receptetl his re Mgiutiuti. I'rof. Kilyar Faulk was then elided uh Miper.nleiident and served U in 11 g the year. The board has had under coneidera tion for koine tune the question of the ahohiioti ef the eleventh grade, and after giving IIih inu'.tcr careful attention we ueciJed that it was for the best intercut of the schools ami Ihe pupil to drop that grade, and accoidlngly hereafter there will he but ten trades m the course ol study. In doing this we have not weakei ed the ecu me of study in any re spect, but on the Contrary it has been Birengtfiened, as ajl the es-entinl parts ol the eleventh grade will now be given in the ninth and tenth grades, which for merly had light work and can easily take the additional studies and thus finish the course one year sooner, w hich is an importunt item to many if not all of the pupils. 1 In cutting utf the eleventh grade we saw an opportunity to lessen the ex pense2 by not employing an expensive siiieiintendent, but by giving the title and the oversight of the schools to one of the principals, we will accomplish the same results at a much less cost. The abolition of the eleventh grade also 11 1 l,ws us to mwke changes in the arrange ment of the grades that will give us an additional room at the Barclay building, and will give all the grades, up to the eighth, representation in each of the buildings, which will accommodate the children, of the district much better than b fore. This change wi I also render it unnecessary to make the addition to the KiMhani building, which was author ized at the special meeting in January Rat, as n itff the extra room which we w ill get ai the lUrclay building we will be aide to ai-coiniiKiduie the children of tha tfittict lor the next year at least. We held our election of teachers last month and (he old corps was re-elected with the exception of I'rof. Faulk, .Mits Smith, .Mrs. lilies and Miss Nelzer, none of w hom upphetl (or le eiectiou. New teachers were elected to till the va cancies as follows: Miss ISoiing, Miss tr eason, .Miss Williams, the principal ship of the Ka.-llimii uchool being not yet tilled. Miss Ad. lie Clark, w ho has rieen principal of the Barclay school for sev eral years past, was re elected principal and city eupeiinteiident with a salary ol fSi per nioiul). Miss Clark has by her service with us bIiowd that she has the uecessary educational qualifications as well as the executive ability and tact that go to make a first-class superintend ent, and we are fully satisfied that the schools, will lose nothing in efficiency under her administration. . Mrs. God frey waa elected assistant principal'of the Barclay school with a salary of (50 per month . Our salary list for teachers this coming year will be 737.50 per month as against $777.60 last year, a saving of - $40 per month, after giving several of the old teachers small increase of pay. This we consider we accomplish, with 00 loss of efficiency, but rather a gain. The school buildings re in (airly good condition and but little repairs will be needed. Some of tbe blackboards will need to be repaired and a little outside work In the way of repair-1 ing and renewing sidewalks will proba bly have to be done. We had tbe south 1 side of tbe East bam building painted one coat last summer, and it will now probably stand year or so longer with out further attention. We bave been notified by tbe city authorities to make connection with tbe sewers from tbe Eastham building, and as a new sewer district has been established, that in cludes the Barclay' building, we will hive to make connection there. This expense was not contemplated when we made our estimate last January, but it will bave to be met just the same. We bave bad no estimate of the coat of this work, but it will probably be from six to eiglit hundred dollars. It is ex pensive, but unavoidable and desirable, as the sanitary conditions at the two building are not as satisfactory as they should be. The clerk has just completed his enumxration of the school population and finds it to be 110, an increase of 37 over last year. A portion of our bond ed indebtedness, amounting to $))0, 'all due on tbe first of next month and will bave to be refunded, and in connec tion therewith action should be taken at this meeting to authorize the directors to do so. IM)U WAR VETERA' PAY. Veterans Enabled to I re Serrlce 'and Expedite Their Halms. The auditor for the war department ha approved the first claim for back pay Hied by a veteran of the early Indian wars of the Nort iwest, and directed that Lewis Lawley, of The Dalles, who served as a nrivate in the Second Washington Territory Mounted Volunteers, lie Daid tr-i for arvit-e rendered from March 17 to September 1, 1S.V). This amount will be paid out of the first appropriation made at the next session of congress. Tbe Law ley case is one that was urged for many months by Ex-Representative. Moody, and the adjustment establishes tbe precedent for the granting ol back pay to all survivors of tbe early Indian wars, who can prove service by rolls that are now on fi e in the department. The department finds that there are sev eral rolls in Oregon, w hich were pre pared by captains, as souvenirs and for other purposes. Persons whose nanus are on these rolls cannot be paid until the original rolls are filea with the aud itor in Washington. The action on the Law ley case makes the claimant qualified applicant for pension. Lawley filed application for pension some months auo, and his claim was disallowed because he could not show pay. Now that bis pay has been authorized, and his services are recog nized by tbe vovernment( iiU pension claim will go through. This decision is of great importance in that it estariles a way by w hich Imlian war veterans can not only recover back pay when they failed to draw allowances heretofore, but places them on a pensionable status. A great manV veterans are unable to prove satisfactory service and where that proof w not obtainable, record of pny by the United States is necessarv. Therefore the importance to many of ee curitiK ba. k pay. Once this is ob'ainod, practically the essential evidence, is at hand. ' ' . POPULAR 0RlH .It K AC H . Excursion Steamer T. J. Potter (iocs Into StiTlce 27. Those who are planning their vacation this year w ill be interested in knowing that the popular excursion steamer, T. J. Potter, queen ol river boats, goes into service June 27, and that she will leave Portland, during the season, every day from Tuesday until Saturday inclusive. To see the beauties of the picturesque and mighty Columbia from the decks of the Potter is a treat never to be forgot ten. For speed and grace nothing in riveror lake service in the entire West equals this side-wheel beauty. Five hours from Portland and one from Asto ria, through the famous fishing waters of the Columbia, past scores of salmon (rape and nets and as many w hite-winged fish boats, lands the passengers at II waco, where close connection is made for beach points with trains of the II waco Railway & Navigation Company, whose cars stand on the wharf awaiting the steamer. The beach is twenty-seven miles long, two hundred yards widest low tide, and so hard that carriage wheels scarcely leave a marK. It is an ideal place for driving, riding, wheeling or walking, and the surf bathing ib un surpassable. The excellent hotels and boarding houses provide good accommo dations at prices ranging from one dol lar ti three dollars per day. The round-trip rate from Portland to Astoria is $2 50; to Ocean Beach points, f4.00, good until October 15th. Pn ijat urdavs, during July and August, round trip tickets are soul to beach points at $2.50, goo ! fur return, leaving the beach the following Sunday evening. The Oregon Railway ifc Navigation Co. has just issued a new summer book, free for the asking, which tells all about the delightful resorts of the Valley of the Columbia River. This can be ob tained from anv agent of tbe Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co., or write A. L. Craig, General Passenger Agent, Port land, Oregon. IMOXs TO OBSERVE LABOR DAY. An Elaborate Seven Days' Carnival Is Proposed. The Trades Unions of this city are planning for an elaborate observance of Labor Dap in September. It is propoesd to bold a week's carnival, opening Tues day, September 1, and concluding with a grand labor demonstration on Monday, September 8, wbich is recognized as a holiday. J. H.

P'Connell, Max Morris, Thos. I. Kidd and Dennis A. Hayes will be among tbe speakers. The labor organi zations of tbis city beld a successful La bor Day demonstration last year.

WAS BOLD HOLD-UP Lone Foot-pad Kobs Oregon City Stenographpr. Robbery Took I'lace en III off in Resi dence District. Miss Hackel niiin, the Victim. Mis Hackelman, a local stenographer, Monday morning reported to tbe police) that she was held up and robned lata Sunday evening while en route to her borne on the bluff. The young woman bad j'ist returned from Portland and a she reached the top f the Sixth street suirs, strange) young man addressed her and requested permission to carry the small hand satchel she wa carrying. Being refused, the fellow followed Miss Hackelman for about a block when he commanded bis) unwilling companion to stand still and make no outcry. He then demanded possession of the satchel which was banded him. With the aid of a lighted match, the satchel waa opened and the lady's purse was remove! and about $o.50 in silver was taken. The purse wan replaced in the satchel which waa restored to its owner with the admoni tion to continue on her way and to Bar nothing of the incident. Miss fUckel man gives a good description of the foot pad who was neither masked oor armed. The hold-up took place in the residence district ol the city. THIRTY hETES tiET D1PL0IAS. Result or Eight Grade Examination ( Clackamas County. - Thirty-seven of the eighty-one pupils of the Clackamas county schools who took the eighth grade examinations this month were successful an'd will receive diplomas. A class of thirty-one will take the examination this n-ontli and Superintendent Zinser says there will this year be about 1-5 iiradnates from tne grammar grades in this county. Lst year the graduates numbered only seventy. While the class this year is considerably larger, Superintendent Zin- i ser reports that it represents but two per ent of the enrolled pupils of the schools. This goes to show that the large majority tf the pupils attending tchools are obliged to abandon their classes for farm work'before they bave completed the grammar grades. The law recently parsed by the legislature compelling school attendance will not relieve the ifuation any since it applies only to school children unuer the age 01 10 vears. "The consolidation of rural school dis tricts," says County Superintendent Zinser, "is the only plan by which the percentage of the graduates from the gramin tr grades of the public schools can be increased. BY the consolidation of districts, the school attendance is in creased, the quality of teaching is im proved and the length of the school term is extended." Those successfully passing the June examination in this county were as tol lows: Chester Moores, April Miller, Archie Young, Charles Robinson, Jessie Bibee, Jack Meldrum, and Winnie Young, of Oregon City ; Ruby Thomp son, Anna Bockman, Lambert Beard, Lyman Derrick, Sydney Johnson, Elsie Ray, Juliaetta Cross, Walter Taylor; Charles Lievers, Pearl Lievers, Sophie Huerth, Sallie Lewellen, John Barmore, Grace Pasch, Hester Selz, Hattie Mayer, Frank A.
