SHEPHERD GIVES IIP SEAT
I,0.G-PItOJI ISED RESIGNATION
PRESENTED TO COl'XCIIi.
Retiring City Father Expresses Deep
Appreciation or Sterling Qualities
of Associates In Orrice.
I desire to say that at this time it
occasions me deep regret to withdraw
from an association of fellow servants
whose flxltv of purpose has ever shown
the greatest fidelity to public duty and
evinced a pure devotion' to the highest
principles of equity and Justice and who
have borne with inspiring altruism the
martyrdom of public service and have
hnrkened not to the stren sons of self
interest." Thus expressing his lofty sentiments.
Cleorse S. Shepherd yesterday tendered
his resignation to the City Council. Some
of the Councllmen are wondering whether
their retiring comrade was not given to
sarcasm In his letter of resignation.
"Well, he was one of the bunch." re
marked a city father yesterday who was
In doubt over the letter.
Another part of the communication fol
lows: "It does seem from the record of the
past 20 months that each of my fellow
Councllmen has faithfully followed the
sentiment expressed In the universal
prayer, which I may be permitted to set
forth, to wit: (
'What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do.
This, teach me more than hell to shun,
That. ' more than heaven pursue. '
The resignation will be accepted at the
special meeting of the Council Monday,
nnrt it is said that Oeorffe Li. Baker who
liaa declared Mmnelt a, candidate lor elec
tion in June, will be elected to the Coun
cil to fill the vacancy. Months ago Mr.
Shepherd announced that he would re
sign, as he had accepted a position with
the Harrlman interests.
FOR BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
(The following- is an extract from
a review of the writings of Thomas
C. Devlin on this important sub
ject by "City Government." a
magazine published in New York
City.) .
"Mr. Devlin's work is just suf
ficiently critical to remove the
cloak of deception and bigotry
from the many unthinking indi
viduals who have indiscriminately
condemned every existing condition
of American municipal adminis
tration. The suggestions made by
him for improvement in the gov
ernment of cities are based upon
existing natural conditions that
cannot be altered, and therefore,
they are practical.

TRADES SCHOOL IS FAVORED
BOARD UNOFFICIALLY INDORS
ES PROPOSED DEPARTMENT.
Expression Leaves Little Doubt but
Tliat Directors Will Act In Ac
cordance AVith Petition.
Unofficially the Board of Education,
at its semi-monthly meeting last night,
went on record in favor of the estab
lishment of a trades school department
In connection with the schools of Port
land. The matter was .brought to the
attention of the board just before adjourn
ment and each member present declared
himself in favor of the plan. The only
difficulty presenting Itself was the ques
tion of funds. A suggestion was made
and generally approved that the funds
question could be solved another year by
a small levy, should the taxpayers favor
the plan.
Superintendent Rlgler - says the total
cost of the manual training department
of the ' city schools is about $15,000 a
year and this Is met with a comparative
ly Insignificant part of the school dis
trict levy. While the board took no of
ficial action regarding the matter, there
being no petition before it, the unani
mous sentiment expressed was that the
school fathers like the idea and will
give the petition a favorable reception
when it Is presented.
Officially the board did but little last
night. It went over,, audited and ordered
paid the usual grist of bills and referred
several minor matters to committees.
The chairman and clerk were ordered to
close a deal for the purchase of a block
for the Vernon school and draw a war
rant of J3S0O for the property.
".What's this bill lor. 17 for ash
pans?" ejaculated ' Herman Wittenberg,
as his eagle eye rested on a bill sent in
by a local hardware store. After ex
planation. Mr. Wittenberg suggested that
the various principals be instructed to
warn the janitors to have a care lest
the scavengers make away with the last
ashpan in the schools.
Another bill, one for $25, sent in by
the janitor of the Montavllla school for
trimming 100 trees in the wake of the
silver thaw, met with disfavor in Mr.
Wittenberg's eyes. He declared Janitors
were not paid for that kind of work and
that he had conscripted the janitor of
the Atchison school into that kind of
service without a bilL
"A continual fight to keep out of
Reufism." murmured Mr. Wittenberg,
after the objectionable bill had been
turned over to the tender mercies of
Assistant Superintendent Grout with in
structions to tell the Janitor the board
wouldn't allow it.
'Since they began raising that $50,000
fund, we've got to be careful," added H.
C. Campbell.
"Careful, gentlemen, there's a reporter
present.'' cautioned Mr. Wittenberg and
Mr. Campbell subsided.

The reason that Smith's packed meats, hams, bacon,
lard and sausages are so superior to Beef Trust stock is
because they are fresh Oregon meats, of mild cure, sugar
cure, smoked from day to day, ready for immediate use,
absolutely free from chemicals of any sort. Smith's meats
do not heed chemicals because they are put up to be sold
and eaten. Smith's meats are not' made to keep.

TO OUR' COUNTRY SHIPPERS:
Ship your Easter milk-fed lambs ( dressed or alive )
to arrive not later than Friday morning. We can use

Contrast Smith's meats with Beef Trust meats, put
up in Chicago, shipped by slow freight across the conti
nent, distributed through the Trust's local packinghouses.
You have no idea of the age of the meat. The Trust MUST
use acids to keep its meat from spoiling.
