We need more room. We have but three rooms In the present echoolhouse, and in the district there are 225 pupils of the school age. Already the building Is overcrowded, and will be more crowded next year. Wo cannot expect good work unless we have ample room. The teachers cannot do first-class work If their rooms are overcrowded. I cannot understand why the proposition to duiju was voted down. The taxpayers would hardly have felt the amount they would have been called upon to pay, and we would have had a building that would have been a credit to the district. It would help every piece of property in the district. The defeat of the proposition to build will probably only result In a dplav. A new building will have to come before another year, or a considerable por tion of the pupils will not have school fa cilities." Two public meetlngG have been held, and at both the proposition to rebuild was voted down. It Is asserted that there was an organized opposition. There is talk of making another efforx to get the sanc tion of the property-owners to erect a modern schoolhousc. "WATER IN 34-INCH MAIN. New Supply Reachew East Tnylor and East First Street.

For I am from another state, and while 1 do do not feel that I am entitled to enter into any discussion of your local affairs, I am here with a view of locating in the state. I It has been my good fortune to meet some of the public men of the state, and I am inclined to say that they are liberal and progressive. President Campbell, of the State University, in a speech before the Convention of Teachers recently held at Eugene, referred to the University of' Minnesota, among others, and seemed to think that that institution was worthy of mention.

When the full list of state delegates has been named they will meet and form some plan to secure the desired result. Governor Geer and Mayor Williams have already selected SO delegates, and the min ing committee of the Chamber of Com merce will send in the names of those who will represent that body, at a meet ing to be held on August 6. Besides these there will be a number from other parts of the state, representing various organi zations and cities, making the whole number that will have votes at the con gress about 100. It Is the purpose of those Inttrcsted'In the matter-to get these delegates together as soon as convenient and talk over the matter of Portland as a meeting place In 19C3, so that when the convention time comes, it will be possi ble to further the. Interests of the city. . J. T. Grayson, of Portland, Is the vice- president for the State of Oregon, and he has been Instrumental In pushing the matter along, so thit if he goes to the congreea he can be counted upon to work for this city. Frank Bailee, of Baker City, Is the" state secretary, and It is be lieved he will act In conjunction with Mr. Grayson. The benefits of the scheme are manifest to all, for not only does it give promi nence to the city and state, but it also, calls attention to the mineral resources, of the country, showing thit they are as good or better than those of other promi nent mining centers. It. Is requested that all those Interested In the matter, or who think they have any plans that arc prac tical, consult Colonel Grayson at the ear liest opportunity. Up to date the following delegates have been appointed by Governor Gecr: Clark Tabor, Richard Wilson, J. T. Grayson. F. V. Drake, Angus McQueen. J. E. Clark, Walter McKay and O. M. Rosendale, of Portland; Frank Bailee and Albert Geiser, of Baker City; J. H. Robbtns, Emil Mel 2er, Claude Basche and W. A. Thatcher, of Sumpter; W. B.

Virtue, of Leland; J. O. Booth, of Grant's Pass; R. J. Jennings, of Cottage Grove: J. K. Pomcroy, of John Day; F. C. Sharkey, of Blue River, and Henry E. Ankeny, of Jacksonville. Mayor Williams appointed the three following delegates from Portland yesterday: A. L. Craig, of the O. R. & N.; A. D. Charlton. of the Isorthirn Pacific, and F. V. Drake. M'BRIDE'S POSITION.

In Its relation to unlimited city franchises. Is still perplexing hard thinkers. R. R. Dunlvayi who waa Deputy City Attorney in the last city administration, firet brought the question to notice. He pointed out that the Legislature might enact certain city franchises, now wltn out limit as to duration. Into perpetuity The sentence which hna given rise to ail the trouble is as follows: "And the same (franchises and privl leges) hall be and continue in force and effect as given or granted by said cities (Portland, East Portland and Alblna) or either of them." - This sentence might be construed to make the franchises In question perpet ual, and if It- should go through the Legislature It would be by the supreme power of the etate and. there-fore, binding upon the city without more ado. As to whether it would, shut off recourse by the city to tlje courts there hangs a fine question. Section 7 of the charter says: "All contracts of every description heretofore duly and legally made ana entered Into by the said City of Portland .shall remain valid and be binding upon the municipality to the extent only that they are now valid and binding upon said City of Portland." This section Is held by some people to leave the troublesome franchises open to the same recourse by the city under the new charter as under the old. But other persons strenuously doubt the ef ficacy of the section. They point out that the ambiguity can be removed. And the simplest way to remove It is Just to cut out the troublesome sentence. Mayor Williams is now. thinking tne nrnhlem over. He has been aeked to hrinir it to the attention of the City Council. Yesterday he said he had not vet made uo his mind what he wouia ao about It. and until he had done so he would refrain from delivering any opm ion. "The question." said he, "Is whether franchises, granted without limit as to time, or consideration as to money, are terminable and whether they can be revoked without impairing the obligation of the contract. This Is for the courts to hmk Tf thev are termmaDie. iney can v.o revoVed bv the City Council, as well - . .

It must, under all the circumstances, have been gall and wormwood for him to accept the reso lution prepared by the Governor instruct ing the delegates to the State convention to support the commission proposal, but he was powerless to prevent it. The tide of sentiment or of political fear- was too strons for him nnd he had to yield to It. It will be the same ln other county conventions and I do not doubt that when . tho state convention comes together at Tacoma on the 10th of September It will be found that a ma jority of the delegates are under Instruc tions to pledge the party to the Gover nor's plans.

"The condition of the labor market has not been better for 10 years than It Is now," said G. Y. Harry, president of tho State Federation of Labor, yesterday. "Wages are now getting back to whero they were before the dull times. It is a mistake to assume, however, that there Is a great demand for labor here, for there Is not. Nearly all. If not all, of the men ara employed, but they fill about all cf the positions and few if any are vacant. I feel thit much of the condition Is due to the efforts of the unions. When the dull times set In our employers told us that business was so poor that they could no lonsrer nav the wages that they were paying, and we had to stand a cutwlth IF IT'S ANYTHING IN VEHICLES AND HARNESS If that is, what you want, let us direct you to headquarters STUDEBAKER 328-334 E.

Times got better, and still no more wages came, and ln neirly every case It required a concerted demand on our part to secure this increase." In the railroad camps, logging camps, harvest fields and pla.ces where a great manv mcn are employed, the dvnind seems almost to equal the supply, and some of the employment agencies report that they turn away orders that tney cannot fill.

Hoover Wins jpnmc auu. Fortune n Mining Engineer. worHnrt n. Hoover, accompanied by his brother. T. J. Hoover, of San Francisco. passed through i-oruana ye--.uj v route to San Francisco and thence to London. Mr. Hoover is one o uie u-k- est and most successful mining casmeer ln the profession, and is now receiving a salary of $25,000. only seven years rince he was graduated from Stanford Univer sity While ln the Northwest he visited his old home at Newberg. Or. There he spont his boyhood and received his early education. Soon after graduation. Hoover went to Australia ln the Interest of Be wick. Moreing & Co., a leading London mining Arm. Hoover did such good work for the firm In Australia that they sent him to China to take charge of the great coal deposits ln the. north. His reputa tion was such that he was appointed the noniMnc pnrineer to the Director-Gen eral of Mines of the Chinese provinces of m,i ta nnd Johol. He served for some time in the double capacity, conducting explorations for his company ana gainer in- information for the government. a fto- much investigation lie came to the conclusion that a reorganization was necessary, and with that end ln view he reigned from his position with the gov ernment, and, as the representative of his T-ondon firm, he formed a new company of Chinese and foreign stockholders that took charge of th property of the for mer company. Including mines, ships, rail ways and docks. -Alter two years' work been so long insistent ana wnicn is in u similar in iorm iu xuuB. - - - - ., 40 g0 lnch: position to work confusion In the ranks Ing some or tnnar-ca , u. -.t 3 - ,.
