I
DIRECTORS OF CITY
HAVE CONCLUDED
READVERTISE.
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.
REMAINS WILL BE
BROUGHT HOME.

CEMENT PLANT AT PORTLAND.
LimerocK win He tJrougni From a
Tract Near Roseburg.
A great cement plant is to be built
In Portland the first instance In
America in which Portland cement has
been manufactured In a city of that
name. Portland and Salt Lake capi
talists have organized a company with
a capital of $1,200,000, and the lime
rock will be brought from Roseburg,
where they own a tract of one hundred
acres of choice rock.
One thousand barrels of cement a
day will be manufactured at the be
ginning, but the plant is so designed
that this capacity can be doubled at
any time with very slight change.
Buildings and grounds will ocupy a
site of fifteen acres in the suburbs of
Portland, with both rail and water
transportation.
C. W. Nibley and associated, of Salt
Lake City, hold one-half the stock,
with Portland capitalists the other
half. Mr. Nlbley has extensive inter
ests in Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Cali
fornia, and is president of the Union
Cement Company of Devil's Slide,
Utah, which has manufactured two
thousand barrels a day during two
years of sucessful and profitable oper
ation

Clover Yield is Larger in Clackamas
, County Than for Years.
J. L Mumpower, one of Stone's well
known farmers, was in Oregon City
Thursday on his way home from a bus
iness trip to the metropolis. Mr. Mum
power says that the oats will be a
good crop in his section of the county,
and says that the average of wheai
will be about 15 bushels to the acre.
In some places the potatoes are re
ported to be a light crop on acount of
moles. Mr. Mumpower says that the
clover yield is the largest and the fin
est that he has seen since he has been
in Oregon. Mr. Mumpower Is one of
Clackamas County's enthusiastic ap
ple growers and has several excellent
varieties on his warm at Stone, which
he has obtained by grafting. He says
that the apple crop will be good in
his neighborhood this year.
Mr. Mumpower has just been ap

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.

You talk like a busted down phono

I spoke of it at the breakfast table

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.
Saloons Change Hands,
Two saloons have changed hands
through the action of tho courts. Hoy
Stewart lost his license bocauso ho

Go Slow In Pigeon Railing.
The American Pigeon Keeper says
that It Is clearly a case of manage
ment as to whether one succeeds or
falls. Don't go Into the work unpre
pared; don't go into It on too large a
scale; feel your way; first learn the
needs and scope of the business on a
small basis, and when you know the
ins and outs spread as fast as your

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.
