CKKASE ACCOMMODATIONS.
Grcsham, Kookwood and Terry All
Vol for Additions to Their School
Buildings' This Summer.
ORES HAM. Or., April 24. 9pecial.
Throe school districts of this vicinity,
Gresham, Rockwood and Terry, have
recently votd to increase their present
accommodations for pupils by erecting
new butldinps at an airrega.te expense
of about J1S.000. At this plac the pres
ent building: will be enlarged by adding
four more rooms and an assembly hall,
at a cost of the outlay having" been
authorized by the people of the dis
trict. The money will be borrowed and
paid off in two years by a direct tax.
The present structure contains four
rooms, beside which the old Methodist
Ohurch Is In use by one of the grades.
The school population is something over
3t"0 and is growing all the time. Work
on the new structure will begin in June
and the building wilt be ready for use
when the Fall term begins in September.
At Rockwood an entirely new four
room building will be erected in place
of the one-room structure now in use.
The latter building Is but six years old
and baa beea sold 4o JEtocfcwood Grange
for a lodgeroom. It will be moved to a
new location and the new building will
be put on the old site at a cost of $&X0.
Plans are drawn and the building will
be ready for use by the middle of Sep
tember. The one-room schoolhouse at Terry
will be enlarged by the addition of two
more rooms. The district has authorised
an expenditure of $2530 for the purpose
and the building will be ready for the
Fall term.
Fifteen teachera will be employed In
these three districts next Winter, in
stead of eight, as at present. The
G re a ham High School will be continued
on broader lines, the experiment having
proved successful of inviting outside
pupils to take the prescribed course
upon payment of a small fee In addition
to the sum paid by the districts out of
the school allowance, from which the
pupil comes. The school is now in Its
fourth year and w ill probably have a
few graduates at the close of the pres
ent term.
There is a movement on foot to organ
ise a Union High School at some other
point In Eastern Multnomah, available
to all pupils of this part of the county,
but the plans are not fully developed
yet.

CAUGHT PASSING BAD COIN
Steve Ramsey Runs From Officer,
but Denies Guilt.
Steve Ramsey, a young man accused of
.passing a large number of counterfeit
dollars in the city during the past few
weeks, was arrested late yesterday after
noon by Patrolman Blarkman, at Kat
Second and East Alder streets, after a
lively chase of two blocks. Half a dozen
pedestrians Joined in the chase, but Black
man proved the speediest man In the
bunch and overtook the fugitive easily.
Ramsey passed the dollar on Henry
Mayer, at 113 Grand Avenue. That the
money . was bogus waa not discovered
until Ramsey had left. Patrolman Black
man was called and given a description
of the bogus-coin man. The officer located
his man shortly afterwards on Second
street, near East Alder, As the officer
came up, Ramsey broke Into a run and
kept his lead for two blocks before being
run down. When searched, considerable
other money was found in his pockets,
but no part of it seemed to be counterfeit.
Ramsey denied having known the dollar
was bad, but could not give a reasonable
explanation of his action in running when
the officer approached him. Several com
plaints of the passing of counterfeit
mnnev have been received lately by the
On Thursday, April 23d, at 4:30 o'clock in the after
noon, Frank L. Smith was asked to stand in with the Beef
Trust and raise the price of meat here in Portland. "Peo
ple are getting their meat too cheap," was the argument.
After trying for two years to drive him out, using every
means and method to do the work, after putting up mar
kets all around about him in order to trap the public, the
Beef Trust now offers Smith a chance to stand in with
it and share the spoils.
SMITH WILL NOT RAISE THE PRICE OF MEAT.
If he gets more patronage he can lower it. He is now sav
ing the Portland public at least $500,000 a year. Every
householder in the city should trade , with Smith. Pass
up the Beef Trust and its markets, who are scheming to
control the meat supply of Portland,
