GRILLING GEER.
Ex-Governor Goer, editing the Pen
dleton Tribune, is In a hot contro
versy with Valley papers over wheth
er the late legislature was spotless
or the worst ever, he contending the
members were like the lady in white
who traveled on the road of anthra
cite. A correspondent in the Capital
Journal asks Mr. Geer these six ques
tions: First. Does he think the legislature
did right in expending $100,000 for
armories
Second. Does he think it did right
In passing a bill paying Jeff Myers
$2300 for services that he was to do
for nothing: In fact in the face of a
law which declared he should do the
work without any compensation what
ever? Third. Does he approve of appro
priating $2000 for every graduate our
state university turns out In a year;
in short, for appropriating $123,000 a
year to a college that does little more
work on that sum than Willamette
University does on $20,000 a year?
Fourth. Does Mr. Geer favor the
official pass bill a bill that has made
Oregon the laughing stock of the
world a bill passed in defiance of
the will of the people as expressed by
referendum vote?
Fifth. Does Mr. Geer think the late
lamented night-mare, mis-called leg- j tions in Linn county it is necessary

UNION HIGH SCHOOL.
One of the best features in the Dye
vinion high school law is the author
ity given the union board to maintain
a department of manual training in
connection with the high school.

The bill Is a good one In all its
main features. Read the summary of
It by Mr. Dye, published in tills pa

The move started by the graduates
of the Barclay school for a union high
school here, is a grand one, and should
succeed as no doubt It w ill.
The children of Gladstone, Park
place, Mt. Pleasant, Canomah, Wil
lamette, the West Side and Oregon
City are entitled to as good an educa
tion as furnished by any community
of like size in the state. We can af
ford It as. well as any: we surely are
as enlightened as any. The expense
is comparatively small.
The government experts, backed
by President Roosevelt and the At
torney General, have decided that
blended whisky is not whisky at
all, but an Imitation composed of neu
tral or cologne spirits, a little whisky
to flavor it and burnt sugar to color
it. As "blended whisky" constitutes
about four-fifths of what Is sold as
whisky a lot of people who have been
drinking what they supposed was
whisky for years, will lie. surprised to
learn they have never really taken a
drink of whisky.
Rooks for Oregon's public schools
will be selected by the State Text
book commission next June. Several
exchanges are likely to be made in
texts for the primary and grammar
'grades, says the Ashland Tidings.
There is general sentiment among ed
ucators that the Thomas history, the
Cyr first and second readers. Went
worth arithmetic, the Reed speller, the
Reed and Kellogg grammar and the
Frye geography should give way to
newer books.

The Salem Capital Journal runs
daily about eight or ten rtems of cur
rent news designed for public school
children. It is feeding the pupils false
statements if this one published
from its determination to take a ref
erendum vote on the State University
biennial appropriation of $250,000."
The last several weeks of intermit
tent showers In the Willamette val
ley would not be considered a "wet

have had twice as much rain during
the same period.

CIRCUS IS COMING;
JOY FOR EVERYBODY
NORRIS A ROWE'S SHOWS BILLED
FOR OREGON CITY JUBILEE
SOUVENIR SEASON.
Circus Is coming! That's Joy
enough for the little folk, and very few
of the older ones hear the announce
ment without a tingle of fond remem
brance, followed by immediate plant
to take their youngsters to "see the
animals," for what parent Is so selfish
as to deny Ills own children the inno
cent Joys of his own youth?
Mr. Norrls, brother of the senior
member of Norrls & Rowe, was In
Oregon City. Friday, contracting for
grounds, feed, advertising, etc., for nu
exhibition of that well known show In
Oregon City on Friday, May 3.
The proprietors say their show this
season has many Innovations and Im
provements. It will mark the 20th
year of their copartnership and to
fittingly celebrate the occasion, the
tour will be known as "The Jubilee
Souvenir Season." They have had
made to their order, hundreds of thou
sand of costly and pretty souvenirs
that will be distributed free to their
patrons. It Is the first season they
travel In three sections of fifteen cars
each. ntuklng their circus train forty
five cars In all. It Is a fact that the
Norrls &. Rowe circus has grown larg
er and faster than any other show In
the world. It was always a railroad
circus and never a wagon show as all
other American circuses were at their
Inception. The parade this year will
be a gorgeous pageant. They will have
more bareback somersault riders,
both male and female than ever be
fore and more gymnasts, acrobat,
aerial and mid air acts, trained wild
and domestic animals, bicycle acts,
marching Shetland nles, drilled
Arablun stallions, camels, dromedaries,
llamas, hippodrome races and arenlc.
features of a sensational nature than
they have ever presented before.
The menagerie has grown greatly
by purchase and numerous births at
the winter quarters. A pair of tiny
cub lions, four Siberian bear cutis and
a baby tigress are among the native
sons and daughters of most interest.
The show has the greatest spread of
all new canvas that they ever exhibit
ed tinder. This western circus has
always received a cordial welcome
here and the coming season should
prove no exception.
The Albright pasture north of town
has been secured for show prounds
here.
Uncle Hiram and the Circus.
I've said it time an' time agin,
(Join' to circus ain't no sin.
A circus Is a moral show.
I can t convince Malviny though.
I've argued up an' argued down,
But all she'll say Is: "Hiram Brown,
What would you think, supposln' I
Should wear such skirts an' kick so
high?"
Down East, w here circus folks Is from,
It's style to Hklmp the pattern some;
And I've been told that 'evnln' dress'
Is always lackln" more or less!
But I've gi n up; so here I be
A-trlmtnln' this dutn'd apple tree,
With all this fun agoln' on,
And half the dad-blamed county gone!
The finest sight I ever see,
Is w hat they call the grand en tree,
With the horses pawln' up the ground.
And elephants cavortln' 'round. ,
The- band aplayln' llckty-split,
The big drum Just a goin' It
You can't keep still. You toBs y'r hat;
"Kee! Yee(!" you holler Just like
that!
The flutterln' flags, the tanbark scent,
The lions roarln' In the tent,
The crowds of people ev'rywhere
Oh, drat the luck! Wlsh't I was there!
You goin'7 Say! You needn't be
Surprised If you get sight of me,
About the time them fellows gets
To turnln' twistln' summersets!

He found that the glycerine, twsidee

Pierce believe, far surpass those of

consideration in all cases of incipient
