Today's work of the Republican National Commit tee added twelve more delegates to the catalogue of the Taft strength on the temporar rolylcall of the Republi can National convention. The Indiana contests came before the committee and were decided all in favor of Taft. With the 72 delegates comprised in the Southern contests decided last week, today'sgains make a total of 84 delegates added to the Taft forces by the work of the National commit tee. With the 201 instructed and un contested delegates credited to him, they bring his total' on the temporary roll up to 285, not counting otherton tests that may be decided for him. A large proporion of the contested seats among the 170 cases to be pass ed on by the committee represent del egates instructed for Taft; the prcise number is the subject of much dis pute, nor can it be said how many of these contests Taft will win. The cases decided today were those of the Indiana delegation at large, 4 in number, headed by Colonel Harry S. New, chairman of the convention committee of arrangements, and in cluding ex-Vice-President Fairbanks and the district delegations from the First, Third and Thirteenth districts. The contest in the Fourt district was withdrawn and the committee confirm ed the two sitting (Taft) delegates.

Then, suddenly, an enthusi asm; suDject, no longer able to con tain himself, cheered lnstilv onfl in a flash there came an answering roar irom many tnousand throats, a mighty heartfelt salute that echoed and re- ecnoed down the city's streets and blended with the hum of traffic on the busy corners and, finally, died away as the king prepared to enter his roy al equipage. ' .' But after the sounds were again hushed and naught but the steady roar of the busy city could be heard, there suddenly came a shriller,' a .greater cheer than had yet greeted tha ears of the king a cheer that reverberat ed down the city's canyons and filled the air with it very intensity. All eyes turned toward a motley crowd of horseback riders forther up the street. There were painted Indians and cowboys and the "Bridge of the Gods," and they, too, were enthused with the splendor of it all. They came to look and Itey remained to cheer. In a twinkling the half wild men of the plains,had become subjects of the greatest ruler ever known Rex Oregonus, the king of the festival of the red, red rose. - Just as Rex Oregonus placed a foot on the step of his auto, he turned with still that ever quizzical smile playing about his featured lnnlreH ubjects for an instant, smiled broad er, men turned and stepped into his royal equipage. -A footman ran forward, gently but Swiftly Closed thA door . the manrimor. lightly touched the brake of the royal auto, and the machine sarted slowly through the; throngs that lined the streetB for many blocks.

There are still two po ' sitions in the high school faculty open and an instructor in drawing and mus ic has not yet been secured. Another vacancy was created Monday night through- the application of Miss Anna T. Smith for one year's leave of ob scene.

Miss Beebe is a teacher of many years experience in Talent Garden Home, Ashland, Salem, Adams and St. Johns. She was. educated in the Illi nois Normal and at Mt Holyoke, Mass. Miss Weeks has had 38, months teaching experience, commencing in Wisconsin, and for the last four years at Mt. Angel, Molalla and Canby.
