SCHOOLS TO LUMBER TAKES A JUMP Teachert and Pupils Will Have Num ber of Changes to Look For ward to When the Fall Term Opens. The board of directors of the city schools has concluded to readvertlse for bids for the construction of a four room addition to the Eastham school building. Bids for this work were re coived last week and the contract awarded to O. P. Kellogg, whose fig ures were $2750, but the price of lum ber has advanced from $3 to $5 per thousand feet and Mr. Kellogg found that he could not proceed with the work without considerable loss and he declined to accept the contract The next lowest bid was that of Parsons & Varney, whose figure was $4051, and C. B. oJhnson was very close with $4999.77. The increase in the price of lumber has made it imperative for the direc tors to call another bond election, as the authorized issue of $3000 will not be sufficient to cover the cost It Is still hoped that the addition can be completed by the opening of the Fall term on September 21. Teachers and pupils of the city schools will have a number of chang es to look forward to at the opening of school The new addition will give the Eastham building an imposing ap pearance. Thompson & Whittler are now at work giving the Barclay build ing two coats of paint, and a new heat ing an ventilating system will be in stalled in the Eastham building. The board of directors has arrang ed to have every desk in the two build ings thoroughly cleansed by a process that is now being used in Portland The desks are submerged in a huge vat of liquid that restores the wood to its original condition and are revar nished.

ELY BROTHERS, 16 Warren St. New York. Trial of Binger Hermann Is Set For Next Fall. The land fraud cases will be resum ed October 12. when Mr. Becker has arranged for the trial of the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company case. The trial of this case is expected to occupy fully four weeks, as the Gov ernment has approximately 200 letters relating to the alleged conspiracy and which probably will be offered as ex hibits. Following this case the trial of Binger Hermann will be taken up. a postponement of this trial from the October term for which it had been set having been agreed to by the Gov ernment at the request of A. S. Worth- ington, chief counsel for Hermann, who has gone for a trip abroad and will not return until Fall. In arranging this order of the cases Mr. Becker requested the court to set the retrial of the Williamson case im mediately after the Hermann trial. for the reason that If Heney comes to Portland to try Hermann, which he In tended to do, he would desire to re try the Williamson case at the same time. AH of the other cases were con tinued until the October term, no de finite date being set for any of them. It was expected that a larger num ber of Indictments would be dismissed for It has been regarded for some time that the Government did not intend to prosecute all that were returned by Heney. That more of them were not dropped undoubtedly was due to the fact that the prosecution Is relying on a number of these defendants as wit nesses against Hermann. No chances will be taken by the Government, and It is not expected that any of the other indictments will be dismissed until after the Hermann trial and perhaps not until Williamso has been retried.

FILES NOTICE OF AN APPROPRI ATION CLOSE TO POINT , WHERE FORKS COME TOGETHER. F. M. Swift, who Is backing tho pro ject to count mot an electric railway from Oregon CHy Into the Heaver Creek, Molalla and Wllholt Springs sections of ciuckamas County, has 111- ed notice of the appropriation of water from tho main channel of tho Molalla Klver, to bo diverted about three ipmiteVs of u mllo below a point where the north and south forks of tho river come together. Swift proposes to build a canal or ditch 25 feet wide at tho bottom, 33 feet wide at the water sur face to carry eight foot depth of water, with a grade of two tenths feet. Tho notice wus posted by F. M. Gardner. Guinea Fowls. M. Lewis narding writes as follows In the Farm Journal of Philadelphia: The Guinea fowls originally cam from the coast of Guinea. They are naturally wild and will hide their nests, so it is often difficult to find them. The eggs are speckled and not quite so large as a ben's egg and are more pointed at the little end. The Guinea will lay about 150 eggs in a year, and after getting a start in growth the young are very hardy. They are of a nervous disposition and will send an outcry upon the appear ance of a strange cat, dog or man. They are equally watchful for hawks and have been known to fight deadly battles with these birds. It Is best to buy eggs and hatch the young where their future home is to be. If hatched and raised by a hen from the poultry yard, they will be much more tame when allowed to run with the Guinea hen.

The Molting 8eaion. Molting really does not begin before the latter part of August, but during the hot months the plumage begins to look rusty, and the feathers more or less loosen up, so that the younger birds are very apt to begin throwing their first feathers in July, and some very early hatched pullets may drop feathers even In June. Of course the latter refers more particularly to Jan nary bateisd birds. Underwood Standard Typewrite THEODORE MILLER HURT. Fa Is From Car at Willamette Falls and is Taken to Hospital.
