Hurke. Monday afternoon. "We had
but six days with sunshine to speak
of, and only two real Chautauqua day
with real warm weather. Our attrac

the remarkable success to the good
program. The Portland papers also
boosted the assembly along In great
slylo. alid the result wna a splendid
attendance on the good duys. which
offset the poor crowds during the In
clement weather.
"Tho newspapers, like the thousands

TRACED TO STANDARDIZA
TION BY CALAVAN.
With the failure of tho first attempt
to remove the two school supervisors,
County Superintendent Caluvnn sntd
Monday that ho thought It probable
Clackamas county would retain these
two school authorities another year.
Superintendent Calavan believes
that the failure of the opponents to re
move the supervisors under the new
state law can be traced to the active
pnrt takon by the supervisors In
spreading the school standardization
idea. During tho year Just closed.
over two scores of schools met the
state requirements, largely through
the work of the two supervisors.
As Is required by the state law, a
copy of a petition asking for the re
movnl of the supervisors was sent to
county school supervisor's office June
9. If this petition was signed by a
majority of the school directors In the
county before the expiration of 30

After the applause bad subsided he

WASHINGTON. July 21. Occupa

The international boundary runs

session bullets and shells were con
stantly falling on the American aide.
Through Major-General Scott, chief of
staff of the United State army. Gov
ernor Maytorena, for Villa, and the
Carranza leader, General Calles,
agreed that all military forces should
be withdrawn and the town left an

likely to lead to renewed fighting and
endangering ot American lives.
