Propoaal Made to Secure Site and Have New Building Ready For Occupancy When Fall -Term Opene. Tentative plana were made Monday night looking to the erection of a high school building In Oregon City this year and a committee waa named to Investigate the vurioua lle. that may be eec.un-d and report at an early meeting of the board of directors wnue rapm worg win nave to be aone to complete' the building befroe next Fall, an a tv have It ready for occu pancy when the new achool year opens. It I believed that 'a brick or concrete structure can be erected within thut time, If work la com menced within the next few week. It will' be necessary tb bond the dist rict for . this purpose, providing the pwix-rty owners will authorize the ueeeaaary expenditure of money. Oregon City la far behind other towna of Its size In this state In it school buildings. Both the Eastham and Barclay buildings have been crowded to the limit all the year and the leaching force, which Is larger than ever before, has worked under a certain handicap. The four grade of the high school were transferred from the Barclay to the Eastham building at the beginning-, of . the actiool year, and an addition was con structed to the Eastham building, which now la crowd!-(o give accom modation, to eight primary and gram mar grades, ax well aa the high school Tbl la not an Ideal altuatlon. At the Barclay building the board of direct ors has been forced to make: use of the gymnasium, where two primary grades are taught, and while the gym nasium does very well for a mtikf shift. It was never constructed wltb a view to being utilised) for a school building. v If it la decided to construct a new bulldlug to be used (or biKh school, the directors will m- all probability add to the curriculum a manual train ing and domestic science department, under a competent Instructor. Prac tical work is desired by the directors and City Superintendent Tooze. The chemical and physical laboratory ap- uuratiis that was Installed last hall has been one of the most popular things In the high school. Manual training and domestic science are planned for all of the gradea. PROSPECT FORliOP CROP IS EXCELLENT FRESH VEGETABLES COMING IN LOCAL MARKETS-BERRIES LOOK FAVORABLE. The growth of hopvlnes In Oregon Is making good progress, and Is from three weeks to one month earlier than last vear. In some sections the vines are being trained, which is not usual ly done before the first of May. Up to the nresent time prospects are very bright for a good yield, and from the present outlook there will be over 10, 000 bales. , In the hop sections of Independence and Dallas the vines are making a rapid growth, as well aa throughout Yamhill, Washington, Lane.. Marlon and Clackamas Counties.- In . some yards at Hubbard the vines' did not stand the winter as well as In other parts of the county, nnd some of them have to be replanted. The hop market Is at a standstill, with very few sales being made. The local market is being supplied with fresh vegetables. Oregon aspar agus is now coming Into the market with a retail price of 15 cents' per bunch. The price of eggs Is ranging from 21 to 22 cents per doien, wholesale. Very little fruit from California Is being received hee, but this market will commence moving about April 15, when cherries and berries will commence to come In. The prospects for large crops of cherries and ber ries In this county are good. The cherry trees are heavily laden with blossoms. The general tone of the livestock market Is steady. Cattle have been strong to high with a few loads of extra quality selling at higher prices than have heretofore been given. The sheen market has been steady to high in all grades. A few sheared sheep are now coming into market and where they have shown quality they have brought good prices. The hog market while still high, has eased off slightly. Tops are selfing from $11.00 to $11.15. while there is a tendency to pay under the 11c mnrk' for anything that is not first class. Cattle buyers are looking for cheap er prices when the grass cattle run begins and from country reports there will be quite an offering of warmed up grass cattle that are thin in flesh. There Is some Inquiry for Blockers and feeders and while good hay-fed animals will now show lower prices, it Is reasonable to expect that a lower rate of values will nply when the grass cattle run begins. t OREGON CITY MARKETS. .

HEDGES SHOWS FIGURES County Division Warmly Favored by Oak Grove Man Brownell Tajk of Labor Condition. Declaring that the annexation of all that Clackamas County territory north of the Willamette River to Multnomah County Is inevitable, B. Lee Paget, of Oak Grove, Saturday night facod a hostile audience in the Clackamas County courthouse and made a half hour speech In favor of the separation of more than one-third of the whole of the mother county from the parent stem. Mr. Paget was given close at tention, and although not six men In the audience shared his views, he was listened to with the. utmost respect aa he waa there at the express Invitation of the Oregon CU Commercial Club and was entitled to a fair hearing. "I came to Oak" Grove three and one-half year ago," said Mr. Paget, who ia the secretary of 'the Portland Trust Company, "and I found there already existed a deep-rooted desire to make some change In the bound aries of Clackamaa County so as to Incorporate the Northern secttqn into Multnomah. This sentiment was strongest and found If moat strenu ous supporters among old gray-bearded men, who lived In Clackamaa County ,for year. I regard the change a inevitable and it ia my pro found impression that some. day Ore gon City will be a part and parcel of the city of Portland. The people liv ing along the line or the Portland Railway Light ft Power Company are paying double street car fare, notwith standing the fact that there are many hundred of people living on the Ore gon City and Entacada lines who are practically- resident of Portland, as they make their living In that city. Matter of geographical location in fluence men's minds of this kind." - Mr- Paget denied being a leader In the proposed? movement, but said the teutiment for a change bad -existed for years and he was perfectly willing to help It along. . ,. County Judge Dimlck and Gilbert L. Hedges -made vigorous attack up on the position assumed by Mr. Paget. "Because a man lived? In Clackamas County and does business In Multno mah, as doe , Mr. Paget, declared Judge Dlralck, "It doe not follow that the territory In which bis home Is lo cated y hid own choice should be annexed to another county.-. I do not believe the majority of the residents of Northern Clackamas fully under stand the situation. 'Investigation will show that the Multnomah County val uations are three or four times higher than those placed on Clackamas Coun-' tj that, lies in the same relative posi tion. -Multnomah County has less than 500 miles ot roads and fully one-third of this mileage la unimproved, and in fact there are' danger signs placed on more than , one road in Multnomah County. These facts should open the eyes of the people who are so anxious to become Identified with Multnomah County In the expectation that the city of Portland is going to tax itself to build roads for them." Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges, sup ported by the evidence of Frank B Riley, a title expert from "Portland, exchanged facts and figures with Mr. Paget, "relative to the cost of tran scribing the records, which would have to be done In the event of coun ty division. Mr. Paget has been quot ed in The Oregonian as stating at Boring that the records could be tran scribed for $2000. What he really said was, according to a revised state ment made Saturday night, that the cost would not exceed $10,000 and that County Clerk Fields, of Multnomah County, would give a bond to do the work for that amount. Mr. Riley had ' seen Mr. Fields only a few hours be fore Saturday night's meeting, and when the Multnomah County official discovered the extent of the work, he revised the figures materially. Mr. Riley and Mr. Hedges say that the records could not be transcribed for less than $50,000, and this cost would fall on Multnomah County. There Is a well grounded report current In Portland and Oregon City that after a few years Portland will attempt to cut loose from Its suburbs and form the city and county of Port land with one set of officials. This Is done in San Francisco, and in many cities of the East and Middle Western states. It means economy in the con duct of municipal and county business and Its feasibility has long been dem onstrated. If this step la taken, It ' will follow that the records will again have to be transcribed and a general reestabllshraent of tho county lines in the territory surrounding Portland will have to be made. George C. Brownell, who Is an as pirant for the Republican nomination of State Senator, gave a vivid portray al of the labor problem at the Booster meeting at the courthouse Saturday night. He talked of the low wages prevailing in some of the factories in Clackamas County and of the employ ment of foreign labor. "The law will not reach this thing," said Mr. Brownell, "so long as greed, and money and selfishness are upper most. There must first be a read justment of conditions. You have got to git a man interested In what he earns and what he produces. The corporation .protects Itself and the mon muBt do the same and the only way he can do it Is through the bai-lot."
