A blare on the roof of the Eastham'
school building, where there are about I
4(M) pupils, was discovered Friday
morning by two small boys, who rush-
d Into the building and pulled the
fire bell rope, with the result that tbe
students marched out of the building
in record time and In perfect order,
Jauitor Mara practically extinguished
the Are with the use of the chemical
apparatus, and in fhe meantime Sup
erintendent Toom telephoned the fire
department, but they were not needed.
Tho fire was completely put out with
the hose at the school building. The
origin of tbe blaze was probably due
to the chimney burning out nnd
sparks lighting -on the roof, burning
a .hole about IS Inches square.

PEOPLE ASKED TO AUTHORIZE
$40,000 BOND ISSUE AT
8PECIAL ELECTION.
FINE SCHOOL PROPOSED
Structure In Contemplation to Con
tain 12 Rooms and Assembly
Hall Large Enough to Seat
1000 8tudenta.
It Is proposed by the Board of
Directors of the Oregon City schools
to erect a fine high school building
In this city this Summer and with
that end It was decided at a special
meeting Tuesday afternoon to ask the
taxpayers to authorize a bond Issue
of $40,000. A special election for that
purpose will be held at the Fountain
Hose Company building on Tuesday,
May 24. from 1 to 4 P. M. It Is gen
erslly believed that there will be no
question of tbe success of the attempt
to obtain financial endorsement from
tbe taxpayers.
At the opening of school last year
the conditions were such that tbe
Hoard was forced to construct a four
room addition to the Eastham build
ing and the high school was moved
there from the Barclay building and
a chemical and physical laboratory
apparatus Installed. Even thla addi
tion did not solve the problem, and
two primary grades had to be placed
at the Barclay gymnasium, which was
never Intended to be used for a
school building. Several months ago
the directors were shown that accom
modations would be entirely inade
quate next year and that there was
a prospect that the high school would
grow to such an extent that tbe
grades would be forced out of the
Eastham building, and it was finally
decided to erect a large high school
building, which will probably be locat
ed near the center of the residence
district. The structure will be of
brick or concrete blocks and will

(indents. In order that nearly all the
students of the city schools may be
brought together when desired. It Is
fomemplated that the assembly tiatl
k will also be used for school entertain-
ments &nd graduation exercises.
No time will be lost, after the
necessary authorization is obtained,
In having the building constructed, so
as to have It ready for .occupancy
soon after the opening of the Fall
term next September.
Shubel, 10; Logan, 4.
The game played at Shubel. Sunday
between the Shubel and Logan teams
resulted 4n a victory for the Shubel
aggregation, the "score being 10 to 4.
Hart pitched a good game for Shubel
itnd kept the Jilts scattered. For the
visiting nine, Anderson, although he
was hit freely, kept a cool head and
had he received the proper support,
the final score would have been dif
ferent. Much wrangling occurred
during the "game, which lessened in
terest In- the outcome. The batteries
were Logan,. Anderson and -Benson;
Shubel, Hart and Sagcr.
A return game will be played next
Sunday on the Logan diamond.

PUBLIC SPIRIT HITS
CITY'S COUNCILMEN
PROVIDE FOR CONCRETE WALKS
ON ALL STREETS TO BE
IMPROVED.
Public spirit In Oregon City has
reached a high ebb as was evidenced
Monday night at a special meeting of
the city council, when City Engineer
Meldrum was Instructed to return all
estimates and specifications for pend
ing street Improvements on a basis
of concrete sidewalks and curbs. This
means that instead of temporary
walks all over the city there will be
handsome concrete thoroughfares and
indicates that the city council is look
ing ahead into tbe future. ' The mat
ter is not altogether obligatory for the
council will permit property owners
30 days after an Improvement is or
dered in wRich to make special appli
cation to construct wooden sidewalks
In place of tbe concrete walks, but if
application Is not made and granted
in every case the property owners
will not be allowed to build wooden
walks. Tbis provision does not apply
to curbing, which must be of concrete
in all cases. '
The council ordered an old building
on the East side of the South aide of
Main street, used as a Chinese laun
dry, to be removed from the sidewalk,
aa a portion of the building extends
beyond the street line,.
PARISH ELECTS DELEGATES.
Representatives Will Go to Diocesean
Convention at Eugene.
H. L. Kelly, George A. Harding and
William Hammond were Monday
night elected delegates from St,
Paul's Parish to the annual diocesean
convention of the Episcopal Church
which will be held at Eugene on June
18. The alternates are W. A. Shew
man, 'H. H. Hughes and T. P. Ran
dall. The vestry appointed Rev. T.
F. Bowen and Dr. L. A. Morris a com
mittee to procure data relative to the
construction of a new and modern
building on the church property on
th Southwest corner of Main and
Ninth streets, with a view to deter
mining the feasibility of construction.
The present building is now owned
by the church and the tenant has a
ground lease. In order to pay off the
church debt and acquire a sinking
fund the vestry has determined that
all of the Income received from the
ground rental of the corner property
shall be used only to apply on the in
debtedness of the parish, and the
money is not to be expended for cur
rent expenses, such as the salary of
the rector. This will in time create
a sinking fund. Among the features
of Interest of last night's meeting was
the opening of funds for the construc
tion of a new church building and a
parish house.
Willamette Teachers Elected.
The directors of the Willamette
School met at the Capen Shoe Com
