We have but three rooms In the present

225 pupils of the school age. Already the
building Is overcrowded, and will be more
crowded next year. Wo cannot expect

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

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

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

the State University, in a speech before
the Convention of Teachers recently held

Minnesota, among others, and seemed to
think that that institution was worthy
of mention.

the University of Oregon can offer for
some time yet to, come. One of the

The International Mining Congress will
holds Its annual session at Butte, Mont.,
from September 1 to 5, Inclusive, and the
delegates from Oregon will endeavor to
have Portland selected as the meeting
place in 1302. 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

Section 100 of the new charter. 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

"There was a time." said he, when l
used to put in all of my time looking for
places to send the men to, but now an i
have to do Is to sit ln the office and wilt
for the mcn to come ln. We even have
to turn away orders at times. Most of
the men that we send out are to logging
camps, railroad camps, and such places.
We send a few to the harvest fields, but
there are very few going there this year
as compared with the number thit gen
erally go. They are able to get positions
that will last them for the winter, ana
most of them prefer to accept this kind
of work. We have been In the employment
business for four years and this Ts the
first time I have ever seen the amount of
work so large as compared with the num
ber of men there are to do it."
As he was' speiklng the telephone bell

enumerate a number of positions that
were waiting for some one to take them.
'The demand for women and girls to do
domestic work!" said he,, "is very great,
and we-cannot nearly fill all of the ap

for skilled workers or for people to' do
work where any special education Is re
quired, but for housework and ordinary
labor the demand is very great."

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

make the Governor's position a very

not believe In any event that the Leg-sla

the lobby which unfailingly has Its own

will be the hottest and wickedest fight
