Mr. Bowen said that this text is the keynote of all fra ternal organizations. Many of the wives of the Foresters were present and special music was rendered by voaieu cnoir. MR. LINDEN'S ESTIMATE. He Was Close In Some Cases and Off In Others. Election estimates are always in. teresting, but far more so after tne votes are counted than before. A few days prior to the county election Rev. John M. Linden, pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city made an estimate on the probable vote for and against Prohibition. Mr. Linden fa vored Prohibition with all his heart and did more to make Clackamas County dry than any other one man. The Enterprise, as a bit of interesting news, is giving his estimate, along with the actual tabulated votes. Mr. Linden figured that the county would go dry oy as votes, with 2856 for a dry county and 2561 for a wet com munity. The vote was 2606 for wet, while the dry people obtained 2437, a majority of 169. PROHIBITIONISTS ARE LOOKING INTO FUTURE PLAN FOR DRY STATE IN 1910 ARE ALREADY ARRANGING FOR CAMPAIGN. It is planned to put the prohibition question up to the voters of the en tire State of Oregon in November, 1910. Twenty-two counties of the state are now dry, besides a number of pre cincts in other counties where a vote was secured on the prohibition ques tion by petition, the wets carried. These counties were: Clackamas, Coos, Harney, Lake, Marion, Wasco and Washington. In Coos and Clacka mas counties the wets carried by ma jorities of 38 and 169 respectively. Only small majorities for tne saloon inter est were noted In Lake and Harney counties as well. The saloon interests jllea petitions in seven counties, placing the ques tion on the ballot. These counties were: Lincoln, Lane, Linn, Sherman, Tillamook, Wallowa and Yamhill. These counties were voted dry in 1906, along with Benton County. Ap parently the saloon men thought it was no use to atempt to carry Ben ton County, so no vote on the ques tion was taken there this year. They lost the vote of every one of the coun ties which they had hoped to gain; in fact, the majorities against the liquor interests increased at this election COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL AFTER REPEATED TRIALS People of Oregon City Instruct Board of Directors to Add Eleventh & Twelfth Grades to the Present Course. day from the Chico, Cal., State Nor mal. Lloyd Harding was a member of this year's class of Portland Acade my, and Raymond Caufield and Earle Latourette from Portland High School. FIRST YEAR OF INSTITUTE. After repeated trials by the friends lng directors: vi mguKr eaucation uie establishment of a complete high school in Oregon City is at last assured. There was a time a number of years ago when the city maintained an eleventh grade to the course, but this was abolished and during the last four years Oregon City has had only the ninth and tenth grades, while every other town of its size in the state, and many of them smaller, has had a four-graded high school. Scores of young people have left Oregon City to complete their high school education In Portland and elsewhere. Several attempts to se cure the establishment of a district high school here have failed, and two elections to relieve the situation by starting a county high school have re sulted in defeat for the friends of the measure. A plan to unionize the dis tricts of Oregon City and vicinity for nigh school purposes was suggested one year ago, but was defeated by the outside districts. But Monday night, at the annual meeting of the taxpay ers of the city, the following resolu tion was presented by C. Schuebel ana adopted with a dissenting voice: E. P. Carter, three years; H. E. Cross, two years; Wil liam LaSalle, one year; Mrs. Estella Salisbury was re-elected clerk. H. Peckover, was re-elected a di rector for three years at Parkplace, and W. A. Holmes succeeds himself as clerk. In Mount Pleasant A. C. Warner was elected director for the three year term and J. A. Roman for the one-year term. Ward Lawton was re elected clerk. Charles W. Gray succeeds P. Han sen as director In West Oregon City for the three-year term. John ' B. Lewthwalte was re-elected clerk. Lake A. May Is the new director at Canemah, succeeding T. J. Searle. The clerk is Sam L. Stevens, 'who succeeds himself as clerk. CITY TEACHERS ELECTED. All Grade Teacher Chosen Who Ap plied for Old Positions.

This action was followed by the pas sage of a resolution authorizing the directors to borrow money for the pur pose of completing two additional rooms in the Eastham building and to furnish them. While this authoriza tion shows the sentiment of the peo ple, it will also be necessary to hold a special meeting In the very near fu ture for the purpose of making a bond issue to defray the expenses of the ad dition, which cannot be paid out of the general fund. It is possible that the directors will ask the taxpayers to authorize the construction df a four room addition to the Eastham building, as the city is growing con stantly, and while four rooms will not be needed next Fall, It is certain that at least two will be required and the other two could be left In an unfinish ed condition, bo far as their Interior Is concerned, unless they become nec essary. This is the plan that is being followed at Gladstone, where an 8-room building Is being erected, the plan be ing to complete four of the rooms ana rarhAp rnnn n iiiiiiuaiicu. i Besides the showing made againBt ; leave the others until such time as the saloon, the Reddy bill has been de-1 they may be needed. feated, having favorable majorities in Mnltnnmnh and Baker counties only The majority in the former county is 764, and in Baker County very small. Every other county of the state has teen rolled up majorities against the bill. Of the 28 counties in Oregon where prohibition was at isBue in the elec tion of June 1, 21 were voted dry, and seven remain wet. It will thus be seen that seven-eleventh of the coun ties of the state are now dry, there being 33 counties in all. The counties now dry are Benton, Crook, Douglas, Gilliam, Grant, Josephine, Klamath, Lincoln, Unn, Lane, Malheur, Morrow, Polk Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wheeler and Yam hill. Puryear Gets $250. In the Circuit Court Saturday after noon O. L. Puryear was awarded $250 by a jury in his suit against the Milwaukie Country Club for $1000, which was double the amount Pur year is said to have lost while gambl ing at the club. The case was on trial all day 'Friday and a motion for a non suit was denied after the testimony of Purvear was in. The case went to the jury at noon Saturday. Mrs. Diona Currin.
