WOULD SELL SITE BOUGHT
6uczestion Made That District
Would Gain by Spending Money
to Enlarge Present West
Side Structure.
Lack of need for another High School
building- at this time is another reason
assigned by protecting West Side property-owners
aealnst the action of the
Board of Education in purchasing for
that purpose the block bounded by Couch
Davis. Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets. Coupling- this objection with that
already advanced the unnecessary Inva
sion of an exclusive residence district tne
complainants will eek to suggest some
way by which the School Directors may
abandon their announced plan of building
one of the finest High School buildings in
the Pacific Northwest on the site that has
been purchased.
Interested owners of property in the vi
cinity of the new High School site argue
that the purchase was premature so far
as the present needs of the district are
concerned. They refer to the fact that
the East Side High School was only re
cently completed, while bonds to the
amount of J350.000 have been voted for
still another High School in Alblna.
These two buildings, together with the
present High School on the .West Side,
they Insist should provide ample accom
modations for High School purposes In
this city for some time to come. If these
three buildings should prove of Inade
quate capacity. It Is suggested by the ob
jectors that the district could well ailord
to enlarge the West Side building, which
Is conveniently located and even more
accessible than the proposed new building
would be.
Present Site Proper One.
It is further argued by the protesting
parties that the High School building on
the West Side Is admirably suited for
school purposes, and for that reason they
are doubtful if the district could sell the
property for anything near its real value.
They insist that the structure would be
practically valueless as an investment for
anything other than educationalTjurposes.
Not only is the wisdom of the Board
members questioned by these heavy prop
erty-owners, but the secrecy or tne
Board's proceedings by which the new
High School site was purchased, giving
the protestants no chance to be heard, is
considered not a fair deal under the cir
cumstances.
"I cannot see the necessity for making
the purchase at this time." said Judge
George H. Williams yesterday. "It seems
to me that the city Is pretty well supplied
with High Schools now. Only recently the
district completed the East Side High
School building, which is now occupied
The expenditure of rso.000 this year was
authorized in the construction of another
High School building In Alblna. These
two buildings on the East Side should be
ample to accommodate the High School
pupils living on that side of the river.
This would dispense with any congested
condition" in the West Side building, which
should be large enough for the accommo
dation of all pupils on this side of the
river. With these three buildings the
needs of the city, so far as High School
facilities are concerned, certainly would
be met for several years.
Could Remodel bid Building.
"Even should more room be required on
this side of the river for High School
purposes, why not expend tS2.0f), the pur
chase price of the new site, in enlarging
the old building? The only substantial
objection I have heard against the West
Side building is that the climbing of the
stairs works a physical hardship on the
Birl students. This could all be obviated
by Installing elevators for the use of the
girls. This could be done at moderate ex
pense. The boys could continue to waik
and profit by the exercise.
"I also understand that the Board
proposes to sell the West Side building
and apply the proceeds on the cost of
constructing a hew building that
would cover the entire block and cost
probably $250,000. But who would buy
the building? For what purpose could
It be used? As a High School It is
most serviceable. It Is also one of the
most beautiful public buildings archi
tecturally and otherwise that is to be
found in the Pacific Northwest.
"The owners of property adjacent to
the Mock that has been bought hope
the Board of Directors may yet decide
to dispose of the new site for what was
paid for It or a slight advance, and
abandon Its present plans for erecting
another High School fuTMIng thereon.
Wi believe that the problem of High
School facilities In Portland can be
solved by eventually enlarging the
West Side building. By such an ar
rangement there would be no need for
the new site, and the expensive build
ing that Is proposed."
Bays District Got Bargain.
In discussing the action of the Board
of Education In purchasing the addi
tional High School site, Herman Wtt
'tenberg. chairman of the Board, yester
day said the Directors felt that they
had proceeded In the best IntereBt of
the district, at the same time making
provision for its future needs. Mr.
Wittenberg Insisted that the only ob
ject the Board had In proceeding se
cretly to acquire the purchase of the
new site was In order to Insure for the
district the most reasonable bargain
that could be had. He said that the
same site probably would have cost
the district $20,000 more if the Board
had gone Into the open market and
negotiated such a purchase.
"It will be at least two years before
the Alblna High School can be com
pleted and ready for occupancy," said
Mr. Wittenberg. "By that time the
building will be filled to overflowing
as was the case with the East Side
building. The West Side High School
already Is filled, and at che rate the
population of the city Is Increasing, it
Is apparent that additional High School
facilities must be provided for the fu-.
ture. That is the reason the new site
was purchased, and lc Is for the same
reason the district Is planning to erect
thereon one of the finest High School
buildings In the country.
Would Let People Vote.
"From the sale of the present West
Side High School we expect to realize
nearly enough money to conscruct the
proposed building on the new site. We
are not prepared to admit that the lo
cation selected for the new High School
Is In an exclusive residence district. The
wholesale district Is Invading that lo
cality rapidly, and it will be only a few
years when the residences surrounding
the new site will have to make way
tor the wholesale interests. Ejtoa,va-J
PU
Si
tlons are now being made for ware
bouses within three blocks of the High
School site, which already Is surround
ed by a number of boarding and room
lng-houses.
"The members of the Board regret
that their action does not meet with
the approval ot some of the taxpayers
of the district. We thought we were
acting In their best Interests. While
I am not speaking for my colleagues. I
am satisfied they would be willing to
submit to the taxpayers of the district
the auestlon of whetner or not tne
Board has acted wisely."
LITERATURE FOR GRANGES
Patrons of Husbandry Preparing
System of Educational Work.
J. J. Johnson, State Lecturer of the
Patrons of Husbandry for Oregon, is

will depend on getting the literature
required from the Portland library.

covers his hands with a coat of black
paint, then with glue, axle grease,
mucilage, poison fly paper, and then
covers the whole with another coat
of paint, this In itself would be
enough to ruin anyones hands, but
the young man removes the whole sub
stance In a few moments by simply
using "Flash" as you would use toilet
soap, and his hands are left soft and

Welier said he was married at Sax
ramento In June, 1907, and that he got
along very well with his wife for a
month. Then he began to inquire Into

ATHLETES NOW IN EAST
MESSAGE LOCATES OREGON
VICTORS AT XEW HAVES.
Kelly, Who Is in Scotland, Is Ex.
pected to Join Smithson and Gil
bert in Kew York.
According to a telegram received
here yesterday afternoon by William
McMurray, general passenger agent of
the O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific
Companies In Oregon, Forrest Smith
son, Dan Kelly and Alfred Gilbert are
In New Haven, Conn. The telegram
was sent to the local railroad agent
by R. Tenbroeck, the New York agent
of these lines, and the message also
conveyed the address of the Oregon
athletes as 120 York street. New Ha
ven. Mr. Tenbroeck also assured Mr.
McMurray that the three athletes were
ready to come to Oregon with the Port
land committee, and requested an im
mediate reply giving information as to
intentions of Portland people. The
message was in error about Kelly, who
was In Scotland Thursday.
Owing to the unsatisfactory condi
tions of the financial end of the ar
rangements, the Portland plans are
somewhat Indefinite. When the recep
tion committee was organized, a sub
committee consisting of a number of
men was appointed to solicit funds for
the celebration. Aside from the chair
man and about four others, no one on
this committee made much of an effort
to collect funds. It Is believed that
business men will subscribe all the
money needed to make a splendid show
ing if the members of the committee
take up the work in earnest.
In support of the work that is being
done to show appreciation of the work
done by Oregon athletes, Ben Selling
made the following statement:
"The feats of Smithson, Gilbert and
Kelly are deserving of the highest com
mendation, and Portland should make the
affair a grand success. If the subscrip
tion already raised Is not sufficient to
meet requirements, I would suggest that
a list containing 60 business men, the
names of whom I will furnish, be asked
to give nothing less than $20 each. I
myself will head such a list with $20."
The subcommittee which has charge of
the selection of a committee of either
one or three men to go to New York Is
scheduled to meet this morning, and at
that time It Is possible that some definite
action in the matter will be taken.
