He came (o Portlnnd In 1 sr2 anil that Winter there was three foot of snow on the ground. He was In the logging business four years. The best soil for the strnwherr;' Is a deep, strong annd loam, but any soil suited to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops may be trusted for successfully growhig this crop If well enriched nfter the ground Is broken up by the admixture of stable manure to a good depth, the quantity to be ap plied depending, of course, upon the condition of tlio laud.

"A friend Is a balancing polo," said an athlete "a balancing pole without which It l Impossible to walk safely the tight-rope of life." "A friend Is a jewel." said a pretty girl, "Hint shines brightest In tho dark lies of misfortune." "A friend Is a volume." said a Jour nalist, "a volume of sympathy, bound In cloth as a rule, though in rnre ca.?se the binding may not be silken." "A friend is a gold link," mused a jeweler, "In a chain of life." "He Is a plaster," said the physician, Seated on the white beach, they talked of friendship, "for the cuts of misfortune."

Newton Centre Town Crier. The school book dealer bad a busy time of It' Monday, when the city schools opened for the Kali term. The torts were crowded from early morn ing until late In the afternoon, and the throng of boys and girls were ! handled in a rapid manner. Tbe new 'course of study goc into effect thi year and there la no exchange book list. The enrollment of the opening day waa G54, an Increase of 42 over last year, and It la expected by the first of next week the attendance will reach 700 at least. Two years ago the first day' enrollment was S44, and In 19q5 it wa &90. In the high school the enrollment Monday was C8, in the Barclay gram mor grades 322 and In the Eastham building 274. The new eleventh grade of the high school has 10 students for the opening day, and 13 students In the tenth and eleventh grades have signified their Intention of taking the Instruction offered by the teachers' training class. There are 33 Fresh men entered in the high school this year and the tenth grade has 25 stu dents, against 14 for last year on the nrst day of school. The Barclay building Is bright with new palm and all of the desks In both buildings have been scraped and re varnlshed. The work of constructing the 4-room addition to the Eastham building is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, but Is not likely to be finished until the latter part ot October. Meanwhile the sixth and seventh grad?s. under the direction of Miss Daisy Bpauldlng. have tempor ary quarter In the Barclay gymna sium, which also houses the fifth grade. When the Eastham addition is complete, the sixth and seventh grades, and also the seventh grade taught by Miss Ida Mae Smith, will be sent to the Easthnm building, and the tilth grade win vacate the gymna sium and occupy the room In the Bar- Clay building now being used by the seventh grade.

City Superintendent McKee on Tuesday made a change In the grade assignment of teachers, giving all of tho seventh grade work to Miss Ida Mae Smith, and" leaving Miss Daisy Spanieling In charge of the sixth grade work. Both teachers are now In the Itarclay building, but the sixth and seventh grades will be transferred to the Eastham building just as sixm as the construction of the new 4-room ad dition is completed. Miss Spaulding Inst year had charge of a combined sixth and seventh grade room, but the arrangement was far from satisfactory. .Vnyor W. E. Carl!, chairman of the B"nrd of Directors, has presented the high school with a large geographical globe. The globe is a large one of English manufacture and Is one of the finest ever seen In this city. Dr. Carll last year presented the city schools with 45 volumes of historical works. and his generosity Is deeplv appreci ated by the corns of teachers and the students as well. David Caufield has been appointed truant officer of the city school dis trict, and It will be .his duty to look after all cases of truancy reported by the city superintendent. The state law Is very strict In this matter, and parents will be required to send their children to school, unless there ample reason for their absence. City Superintendent McKee ha8 had Two Teacher Employed Attendance I Record Breaking. The Mount Pleasant chool is open ed with the largest attendance In the history of this institution. The extra room that ha been furnished thi year Is filled with students, and many more are expected to come when bop picking ha been completed. The room presents a neat appearance with its new desks and other furniture. Miss Mable Smith, of Grants' Pass. Is the primary teacher, and this Is her first year teaching In Clackamas County, but she has had a great deal of expe rience In that line in Josephine Coun ty, and comes here with high recom mendations. Miss Smith is a gradu ate of the University of Oregon. The principal of the school is Miss Muriel Watklns, of New Yotk, who arrived In Oregon City last week. Miss Wat kins Is a graduate of the University of New York. The ninth grade has been added this year, thus enabling children of the district to take up the studies in this grade. Instead of requiring them to attend the city schools. Last year only one teacher was employed, but on account of many newcomers com ing to tke West and setling in the district. It was decided by the school board to furnish the school room ad joining, and to employ another teacher. VEGETATION ON LOW GROUND HAS SUFFEREO IN MANY SECTIONS. .

Normal Training Department In Ore gon City High School. ty V ' ' . . . ' i". v 5 High School students who Intend to fit themselves for the teaching pro- tession win te given an excellent op portunity In the Oregon Citv high school, which opened last Monday. The board of directors has concluded to embrace in the course a teachers' training class course, and thi3 will be taught in both the tenth and eleventh years. The course of study follows: First half-year White Art of Teach ing, 14 weeks; The State Course of Study, 4 weeks. Second half-year Observation. 7 weeks; Practice teaching, 7 weeks; Problems to be solved, 4 weeks The course -will be elective, but as many students go Into teaching. It Is very probable that a large number will sieze upon this opportunity. The local high school this year will Include the ninth, ten and eleventh grades, and the twelfth grade will be added next year. Any tenth, eleventh or twelfth year pupil may be admited to the training class course. Pupils taking this work will be permitted to have one recitation a day, or. if the su perintendent thinks best, the work of this class will be substituted for some one of the electives. The course is not designed for other than high schools of the first class and Is op tional. Pupils completing this course will be givn a certificate to that ef fect, which certificate will be honored by any State normal school in lieu of the work in pedagogy required in the freshman year. City Superintendent McKee will take charge of the train ing class. This course is designed to suit those who wish to become teach ers, and who are unable to attenda State normal school. It is believed. however, that many pupils who com plete this course will become so in terested in normal work that they will be induced to take up regular normal work in one of the State normal schools. ' WEST SIDE SCHOOLS OPEN. T. P. Kendall's Third Year In Charge Began Monday. The Oregon City West Side schools opened Monday morning with the fol lowing corps of teachers and grades assigned them: Prof. T. P. Kendall, seventh, eight and ninth grades; Miss Eva Applegate, fifth and sixth: Miss Martha Koerner. third and fourth; Miss Lilli Schmidll. first and second. The Bolton school has Miss Eva Wash for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, and Miss Clara Koerner for first, sec ond and third grades. This is Miss Koerner's third year and Miss Wash's u'cond year, and the teachers of the other school were all re-elected, ex cept Miss Applegate, who will teach icr first year here, and comes from Yoiicollii. Douglas County. Prof. Ken ilt'll has given good satisfaction as su wrintemient of the school, this being his third year. The heavy frost of Tuesday night came with very little warning. On Tuesday evening about 5 o'clock the wind blew very cold and many of the more lure weather prophets foretolJ of frost Wednesday morning the ground wa white. This was not a frot that Just hit scattering sections but one that wa felt all over the coun ty. Tbe low ground auffered the worst Report from Gladstone, Clackamas Heights, Clackamas, Low er and Upper Logan, Mt. Pleasant, Molalla and New Era. all state that the vegetation on the low ground suf fered. In such places the tomatoes, corn, beans, squash, melons, and lata potatoes were almost completely de stroyed. Even In the more protected places and on high ground the gar dens were Julte badly frost bitten. This will cause a shortage tn Deans, tomatoes, melons, late corn and late potatoes. The ground waa .not only white all over the county early Wed nesday morning, but the sun wa up early and aided greatly in the destruc tion of garden truck. Tbe live stock market win remain at its present status until about the first of November. The price or Deer will no doubt raise a little later, and hogs will drop from one-half to one cent a pound.

See if the feeding is done as cheaply and economically as It should be. See If there is not an old cow that is con suming the profit of three or four others in tho yard. Look to all these tilings letore concluding that the price of butter fat Is at fault. We have seen herds of cows that were charging their owners as high as 30 cents per pound for every pound of butter fat sold therefrom. These were putting the owner In debt every milking. The creamery was not to blame either. GRADUATES OF THE 1908 CLASS OF THE OREGON CITY HIGH SCHOOL, MANY OF WHOM ARE IN THE ADVANCED GRADES THIS YEAR. ImproVement Fire Escapes Constructed.
