ROBERT BURNS SOCIETY PICKS BEST ESSAYS ON GREAT SCOTTISH BARD WINNERS AT YEARLY EXHIBIT NAMED Manual Training Displays Of Such Uniform Excellence Judges ' Have Hard Time Select ing the Best Inaugurating this year a custom that it is intended to keep as a per manent feature of the school year, the Robert Burns society of this city offered two prizes for the beBt essay upon the great Scotch bard whose name the organization bears. Mon day members of the society spent the greater part of the afternoon going over the competitive essays, and found them all of such a standard of excellence that selection of the best two was extremely difficult. The committee finally made the awards, however, and as a result Minnie Pat erson, of Gladstone, was adjudged to have submitted the best paper, and will receive five dollars in gold, and will have the honor of having her essay read before the next meeting of the Burns society. A second prize, of two dollars and a half, was awarded to the essay writ ten by Earl Paddock, of Canemah. His essay will also be read at the so ciety's meeting. All the essays sub mitted showed great care in prepara tion. Prizes in the school exhibit held in the gymnasium building on the Bar clay grounds were also awarded Mon day. The judges had much difficul ty in selecting those to whom the awards should be made, so generally good were the exhibitions. It was decided to base the awards upon two points; first, the greatest amount of progress shown by the pupils in five selected exhibits; and secondly, the best five displays made by any one pupil. Under this arrangement prizes were awarded for manual training work as follows: To William Lettenmaier and Wal ter .Dungey, of the high school, for manual training, two awards, each consisting of a high grade saw. To Aubrey Dillon and Howard Daw son, of the grade schools, for manual training, to the first a plane and to the second a bill for a quantity of lumber. In the domestic science division awards were made to Angeline Dye, for the best exhibit of sewing from the high school', a pair of scissors; to Alene Bennett, for the best 'exhibi tion of cooking from the high school, a hand-painted dish. No awards in domestic science were made in the grade schools. The judges in the manual training awards were E. W. Scott, T. J. Gary, county superintendent of schools, and A. O. Freel, principal of the Bar clay school. The judges in the do mestic science work were Mrs. L. E. . Jones, Mrs. George A. Harding and Mrs. F. A. Olmstead. 12 LEFT FOR T Monday night but an even dozen tickets were left undisposed of for the Commercial club excursion to Portland next week, when two boat loads of local boosters will journey by river to aid in welcoming Rex Ore gonus to his realm of the Rose Festi val. There are in all 280 reserva tions for the trip, this number being limited by the capacity of the two steamers that have been chartered by the local club for the voyage. Those who desire to go on this trip, and who have not yet made reserva tions, are urged to do so at once, as E. E. Brodie, secretary of the com mittee in charge, does not expect the remaining 12 tickets will last very long. Reservations have been open less tban a week, and the speed with which they have been taken up shows how great the demand is.

ELLIOTT & SON PRIZES AWARDED 111 SCHOOL WORK 137 PASS EXAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL BUT ONE-THIRD OF COUNTY'S GRADE STUDENTS SUCCESS FUL IN STATE TEST 154 MORE MAY GET DIPLOMAS LATER Over 100 Boys and Girls Fail Entirely to Attain Required Rank in Studies of Last Gram . mar Year. As a result of the May examina tions, 137 eighth grade pupils in the county schools have secured diplom as that will admit them to any high school in the state, 154 more were "conditioned," and will have to take further examination in one or two studies either in June or in Septem ber before they can enter the high school, and 103 failed altogether to acquire the required grade for ad vancement from the grade schools. In all 394 eighth grade pupils took the test. That but a third passed clear of conditions is blamed largely upon the questions, which were extreme, though fair. That almost a third failed altogether to pass is said by the teachers to be due to the fact that effort was made in the last year of the grade schools to teach the chil dren too much, and too many sub jects that are not of practical use to the pupils, and which therefor they have not studied as hard as they should. A very large percentage cf those that were "conditioned" are ex pected to pass to the high schools up on second examination.

ALBEE IS LEADER IN PORTLAND GO PORTLAND, Ore., June 3 Re turns in the Portland election at 2:15 this morning showed that H. R. Al bee will be the next mayor of Port land under the commission form of povernment. At that time indications were that he would win by 6,000 pop ularity. With Albee having more votes than all the other mayoralty candidates together, Rushlight was running second, but so far behind that there was no chance of a change in results. State Senator Dan Kella- her was running third, and McKenna, who ran as a democrat, was fourth on the list. Late returns indicated that the commissioners would be Will Daly, W. L. Brewster, Robert Dieck and Ra'.ph Clyde. Daly and Clyde hava served in the council. Dieck is a municipal engineer of excellent stand ing, and has seen service for the gov ernment in the Phillipines. Incident- ly he has also been consulting engin eer for Oregon City in much of Its improvement work. About 45,000 citizens cast a vote in the election. Nearly half of these votes were cast by women, who par ticipated in a city election for the first time in Portland's history. No count had been taken on the various measures on the ballot up to an early hour in the morning, all clerks being kept busy with the maze ot tirst, second ana tneird choice tor candidates. Y Leading merchants of the city are laying plans. for a great Fourth of July celebration to be held here that will be both unique and appropriate for the day. As the council has is sued an edict that there shall be no "small boy noise" this year, and has placed the official taboo on the finger-destroying fire-cracker, public spirited citizens are planning to sub stitute instead a "real old time 4th" and .the idea is being enthusiastically received all down the line. While plans are still in an em broyonic state, it is the aim of the promoters of the scheme to have a celebration that will in every way be a credit and a drawing card for the town. There will be special races and turn-ohts of the different fiT3 companies, and valuable prizes will be offered for this feature, which has already been determined upon. Aside i from this it is likely that there will : be water sports, motorcycle races, j possibly an automobile race, and j sports in which young and old may i participate. Incidentally, if the local plan goes through, there will be no dearth of celebrations on the nation s birthday, j cf toe three meets they entered. In The Willamette Pulp & Paper com- j dividually some of the boys did ex pany has leased Canemah park for' ceptionally well, and won signal hon- the day, and will give a picnic for its! employees there. This in itself will ; be replete with features, and will be' a big drawing card. Aside from this! there is to be a great "get-together" picnic and celebration at Gladstone park; and with a possible celebration' upon the completion of the first di- vision of the Clackamas Southern 5?n -iM AMERICA'S MOST NOTED WOMAN AS SHE- IS TODAY cervmcHT tmompom. ntw ro.

Mark Twain classed her with Napoleon as one of "the most in teresting characters of the Nine teenth century. . SCHOOL ATHLETES E Th-3 athletic season for the Oregon City high school has been wound up, and students are now busy with the ordeal of final examinations. Through out the year, however , local school athletes have ranked pretty well, es pecially when it is considered that they had no training grounds upon which sufficient practice could be held. However, with members of the school board and the Live Wires of the Commercial club seeking a way to provide a training and play field for next year, ths young men and women think that next year they will establish a still better record. Four football games were played by thi school team during the last year, and of these but one was lost. j There is every indication that there will "be a good team in the field in i the fall, and an even better season is ; expected. In baseball the local nine played five- regular games, won three and tied another, losing but one. The girls ranked as well as the boys, for in basketball eight games were played, and but two lost, I The track team farad the poorest of the lot, gaining no victory in any ors in special events, but the points scored by the team as a whole were but few. In the county meet, held last week at Gladstone park, the local high school team won tie county cup for the third sucessive year, and this in a way made up for their failures with teams from outside the county.

The plan is the result of much work on the part of the Contest Man ager, who has had several proposi tions under consideration but select ed this plan which he believes is the most liberal one to the many shop pers who use this paper exclusively as a medium for finding exceptional purchasing opportunities. All that is required of anyone to do in entering the Bargain Feature Con test is to clip one of the nomination coupons which will appear daily in the paper for the first three weeks of the contest. When this coupon is neatly clipped and properly filled out it will entitle the contestant en tering the race to 1000 votes. After having been nominated it is an easy matter to secure additional votes. You merely have to call for a cash check or receipt when asking purchases at any of the stores adver tising on the Bargain Page. These slips or checks must be brought to this office where five votes wi-1 be issued for every five cents shown on the sales checks. INFERNAL MACHINE" IS IN REALTY BUT A BABY NEW YORK, June 2 A well dress ed man stopped into the entrance hall of the Babies' Hospital m Lexington avenue, the other morning, placed a box upon the table and departed has tily, leaving all the nursas, attend ants and clerks in a state of extreme nervousness from fear that the box might contain an infernal machine rpady to axplode at any moment. A call for help was sent to the nearest police station and in a short time a detective arrived at the hospital. He was shown the suspicious bo and bFavely began to examine it. He opened the lid with extreme caution, which everybody held his or her breath, but there was , no explosion. Inside of the box there was some thing wrapped in- a small, woolen blanket and wlKm the wrapping was removed the detective found a little baby boy, perhaps two hours old and very much alive. The baby was sent to B'jllavuo hospital in an ambulance. MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT IS PLANNED BY REBEKAHS The Rebakahs, of Gladstone, are to give a concernt this evening in Glad stone hall.

" !1 H 1 3- s mmmmm M0T0RB0AT RACE TO SHOW SPEED OREGON WOLF II. AND VAMOOSE ' TO TRY CONCLUSIONS HERE DURING ROSE SHOW EVENT WILL BE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Fastest Craft on Coast to Spurt Over Course In Full View of City Following Gala Parade of Vessels Next Saturday Oregon City will see one of the most exciting motor boat races ever run in western wa ters a return match between the wonderful "Vamoose" and the form er ' Oregon champion, "Oregon Wolf II." Thse two boats raced during the recent run of the Portland Motor boat club to Wilsonville, and the Wolf lost the laurels of that test. Her owner, however, believes that since then he has tuned his engines up con siderably, and thinks that at the local rose show races the results may be different. The committee in charge of the wa ter sports for rose show day has been working all this week to bring about a match between these two speed wonders, and Monday night definite word was received that the former champion and the new " claimant would be entered in a special race. The Vamoose has already left Rain ier, her home port, and is being towed at easy stages to Oregon City. She will arrive about the middle of the week, and several days will be spent in trying her out. The Vamoose is a hydroplane of the most advanced type, and when running at top speed has little more than her stern and powerful propel lors under water. The boat is said to be most spectacular when in ac tion, and it is expected that a huge crowd will be on hand to see the boat skim at railroad train speed over the waters of the upper river. The race will be held over a special course, the start being made from off the city dock at the foot of Eleventh street, running thence up-stream and around a bouy located below the lower en trance to the locks, thence back to another bouy below the old sawmill. and back again over the course, the! fmish . being off . the judges' boat which will be anchored behind the Busch building. The race between the two speed craft will be but a feature of the wa ter sports in connection with the an nual rose show. It will be held in connection with a visit of the Port land Motorboat club, and will be one of three races. The other two have not bean definitely fixed as yet, but will probably be between boats of the 20-foot and pleasure-craft class. There will be a parade of decorated motorboats at half past three in the afternoon over the racing course. It is expected that this will take about half and hour, and that the races will be started at four, promptly. Local motorboats will act as police craft, and will patrol the course during the racing, so that the speed marvels will not be interferred with by spectators. During the racing no small boats will be allowed to cross the course, both as a convenience to the racing ves sels and as a move of safety to the spectators. TO SAVE FAMILY Because he thought it better to dash a gate to pieces instead of tak ing the risk of dashing his family to pieces, the young son of Ernest El liott ran his father's automobile in to part of a fence on the Mulino road late Sunday afternoon, and so prob ably saved the life of his mother and sister. The man whose gate was shattered, failed to appreciate the gravity of the case at first, however, and until he learned the particulars was much incensed at the young man for damaging his property. Young Elliott, according to reports, had be-sn out with his mother and sister for a short automobile trip, and when coming down a steep grade on the Mulino road, stiddely realized that his car was out of control. The machine, a new-Buick, failed to re spond to the brakes, Mr. Elliott says, and neither could be get the gears to mesh so that he could stay the pro gress of the runaway car by stalling his engine. Thus confronted with eminent danger of serious injury, he steered the machine into a gate by the side of the road. The resulting crash threw his sister out of the car ,but she was not ser iously hurt. Mrs. Elliott, however, was struck by flying pieces of paling, and was painfully hurt. The young man at the wheel was also seriously jarred and shocked. Relief was soon given members of the party, and Monday all were reported to be rest ing comfortably and doing well. ASYLUM TO HAVE PAPER- TRENTON, N. J., June 2. Dr. B. D. Evans, medical director of the Morris Plains State Hospital for the Insane, has conceived of an original plan which, he believes, will be of great benefit to many of his patients. He proposes to establish a weekly newspaper at the asylum, which is to be written, set in type, and printed by patients under the supervision of the attendants. Dr. -Evans will li- rect the policy of the paper and will write the editorials. He also plans to put other patients in the asylum to work at making brooms, weaving, bookbinding, raffia work, etc. your home paper.

Pleasant, reached a depth of 260 feet without striking an adequate yield. The re sults are particularly disappointing to Chairman Tooze and the other members of the committee, as the earlier outlook at the spot was most favorable, a flow of 75 gallons a min uate having been struck after some 65 feet of drilling had been completed. Since passing the 65-foot-mark, sev eral small subterranean streams were encountered, but none that gave a sufficient volume of water. Drilling was continued, however, until the 250 foot level was reached. This was the original limit set by the special water committee; but as no adequate supply was reached at that depth, the diamond-point was set to work again, and ten more feet were bored. No water being reached at that depth operaions were suspnded, and the special committee that has the work in charge will report to the council Monday night, when it will be decid ed whether or not further drilling is to be tried in the same locality. The site of the test well was select ed by Robert Dieck, consulting engi neer for the city in considerable im provement work. Mr. Dieck was of the opinion that water ought to be found at this point, but either his computations were incorrect, or else sufficient depth has not been reached by the drill. In order to experiment at this point the city obtained an op tion from the Ladds to the property. with the understanding that Oreeon City could purchase the tract at rea- sonable terms should water be found. Several other locations were set forth in Mr. Dieck's report as being likely to lie over water, but property own ers who controlled these other spots placed an unreasonably high valua tion upon their land. While the test well was being driven M. J. Lee and associates, of Canby, offered the city water from wells that his organization controls near the neighboring 'town. Mr. Lee said his associates were willing to, pipe the water to the reservoir site in Oregon City, and in return wanted 50 per cent of the local water revenues. Tha offer, made to the council, was "1L1 VJ tl tauic pcuuuig CAJJCIIUICU- tation at the Ladd tract. With- tha apparent failure of the Mt. Pleasant location as a source, it is likely that negotiations will be re-opened with Mr. Lee, but it is said unofficially that he will have to materially re duce his terms before his offer is ac cepted. The matter will be brought before the council formally on Wednesday night. I drilling on the Ladd tract is not resumed, it is possible that the council will decide to condemn one f . 1 . 1 IVI- ui me uLu-er possiuie sources oi sup ply, and so utilize it for the city at a less cost than the present owners ask. The need for a better water supply than the present one is urgently felt, and it is not believed that action on the matter will be delayed much longer. The O. A.
