Board of Education Will Cal
for Bids at Once and
Let Contracts.
SUM OF $340,000 ON HAND
Two Xew Schoolhonses and Seven
Additions to Be Built During the
Summer With Money Voted
by Taxpayers. .
Bids are to be advertised for at once
tor new school buildings and additions
provided for and recommended at the an
nual taxpayers' meeting. The Board of
Education at Its regular meeting yester
day afternoon Instructed the members of
the building committee to Issue the call
to bidders forthwith.
In 30 days the bids are returnable and
the successful bidders will then be se
lected, contracts drawn up and the con
struction work taken up with as little
delay as possible. The new structures
are badly needed and will be completed
in time to solve the problem of Increased
attendance that will doubtless present
itself at the opening of the Fall term
following the Summer vacation. In all
1340.000 Is available for the new build
lngs and additions. Additions and schools
will be erected as follows:
Crston Addition of four rooms.
Irvlnftton Addition of eight rooms.
Vernon Addition of two rooms and as
sembly hall.

and assembly hall.
Orkoy Green Addition of elpht rooms.
Williams avenue New schoolhouse of IS
rooms.
Glencoe New schoolhouse of elirht rooms.
Davis Addition of six rooms and assem
bly hall.
Peninsula Addition of two rooms.
School on Loaned Properly.
Attention was called by Director Flelsch
Tier. acting chairman, to a communication
received by him to the effect that the
Center Addition school Is located on prop
erty that does not belong to the Board.
When the school was built a number of
years ago It was loaned the land built
on. Xo formal contract was drawn up.
The property Is now In the hands of J. J.
Jennings, who asks a rental of $20 per
month. It was suggested by Superin
tendent Rigler that a lot and building
In Center Addition ought not bring more
than 120 per month, whereat Mr. Fleisch
rTer replied that since the building Is on
private property, there might be a ques
tion about it belonging to the Board at
all. The matter was laid aside for fur
ther consideration.
Attention to another dilemma was also
called by Mr. Flelechner. Plans have
been prepared for the addition of eight
rooms to the Ockley Green school. At
the same time plans have been prepared
by the City Engineer's office for the open
lng up of Alnsworth Avenue, near Patton
street, where the school Is located. The
street cuts off the new schoolhouse wing.
One of the two projects must be aban
doned. The city authorities will be Been
and an effort made to have the 6treet
left In Its present state. .
Girls at the High School are to be
taught to wait on table. They are already
being taught how to cook, and In order
that those In the domestic science class
may get a better understanding of serv
ing roods the Board authorized Miss Lil
lan Tingle to secure equipment for f
model dining-room. As soon as this Is
Installed Miss Tingle, who Is Instructor
ln domestic science, will undertake the
course of Instruction In "tending table.'
Back Kent of $1500 to Be Collected
Tenants, of the old Stevens Addition
school haven't been paying their rent
for lo! these many years. The back rent
amounts to over J1500. There has been no
refusal to pay, but rather payment h
not been enforced. Clerk Thomas was
authorized to collect.
Interest In the trade school has become
very wide. Superintendent Rigler reported
that much of his time Is occupied in an
swering Inquiries about this branch of
the cltys educational work. He asked
for authority to get out a small descrip
tive booklet on the subject. The author
ity was given.
Something new In the way of equip
ment was added to the plans on the new
Jefferson High School In the way .of an
air wash. This mechanism purifies all
air passing through the ventilators. A
steam air-drive, as well as an eleetrio
drive, will also be installed. It was de
cided. Mrs. Charles E. TV'est was elected a
teacher In first grade work. The Board
will hold a special meeting within the
next week or ten days, upon return to
the city of Messrs. Beach and Witten
berg, whose absence necessitated the put
ting over of several matters relating to
the school work yesterday.
since his first announcement that he
would build the line Is indicated In a
telegram from B. H. Harriman to Gov
ernor Chamberlain, Just received by the
state executive. . Governor Chamberlain
wrote to Mr. Harriman asking for fur
ther assurances In regard to the Central
Oregon line and calling attention to the
fact that no progress has been made In
the matter since Mr. Harriman's own
announcement that he would build the
road, when be was in Portland last Sep
tember. Mr. Harriman declares in his telegram
that the Central Oregon road will be
built and that the speed with which the
line Is accomplished depends upon the lo
cal management, in other words, respon
sibility for construction Is placed upon
General Manager O'Brien and his fellow
officalls In this territory.
The first sentence of Mr. Harriman's
telegram Is supposed to be a bit of face
tiousness on the part of the Union Pa
cific magnate. Also the Coos Bay line,
which he refers to, was not mentioned
In the Governor's letter. Mr. Harriman's
telegram, received at Salem yesterday,
follows.
Hot Wells, Ssn Antonio, Tex.. Feb. 23,
1908. Hon. Georce B. Chamberlain, Salem,
Or.: No need for a witness. Investigations
all completed. Construction already author
lied. Matter In hands of local officers. Is
there anything elpe I can do?
I told the delegation from Coos Bay that I
would recommend construction of road to that
point If they could satisfy us that It would
earn 4 per cent on cost or have that amount
guaranteed each year for a term of years.
This still holds good to you or them.

Wants All to Help.
In accepting the position of presi
dent, Mr. Beach made a short talk In
which he asked for the hearty co-operation
of each member of the organi
zation during his term of office. "Port
land has long since become a city,"
said he, "and moreover It is becoming
the commercial center of the Pacific
Northwest. As such, an exchange
where the produce of this territory
may be bought and sold must be pro
vided. We must furnish such a serv
ice to the Northwest In this respect as
It demands. I shall expect each mem
ber to do his part during the coming
year and attend the meetings, besides
aiding In every other way to carry out
the work of this organization."
T. S. Townsend, in turning the ex
ecutive chair over to his successor,
made a few remarks voicing his ap
preciation of the support he has re
ceived during the past year. A vote
of thanks was passed by those present
for the way in which President Town
send's administration has conducted
the affairs of the organization during
the past year.
A vote of thanks was also passed for
the service rendered the Board of
Jmmm mm?
You of the desk; you of the bench; you of the sales
force; if you had driven a peg in your path a year
ago, how much ahead of it would you be at this mo
ment? You are a year older; you have learned a few
new tricks, but how many honestly earned dollars
have you now that you didn't have then? Are you
going down hill, stagnating or rising higher?
Whatever your station in life, you have red blood,
you have the ambition, the shrewdness and persist
ence of a man of today. You have the inspiration
that life in such a city as Portland can provide.
You have read of the millions of dollars that James
J. Hill dumped into this city years ago, based upon
faith in its future; you know what E. H. Harriman has
accomplished; you know what the Swift family has done:
you have not forgotten a thousand and one other farsighted
business men who have come into this midst, invested, pros
pered and waxed wealthy. What have you done? Do you
own a piece of property in the city's limits? Have you ever in
vested a penny in the dirt that is making millions for your neigh
bors? Even if it is only the investment of $100, buy a lot in
Gregory Heights; pay $5.00 down and $2.50 a month. What does
that amount to? Hang to it. Buy another.
Hang to that. Keep on buying. In a few
years, maybe months, you will have started
yourself on the way to a fortune. The time
to begin is now. Grip yourself with a hand
of steel and with every muscle in your body
as tense as iron, set your peg ahead of you and
with the strength of Hercules, work toward it,
not away.

Lhl dispensation are not allowed to eat flsh
and meat at the eame xneal and they are
exhorted to perform some other sets of modl
flc&tlon and penance In accord with the spirit

and commendable custom Is that of abstain-
In durlnir Lent from vtlmulants, in honor of
the sacred thirst or our divine Lord.

and all those whose occupations are of a la
borious and exhausting nature.
Those who are excused from fasting on ac
count of age or hard labor may use flesh meat
more than once on tha days on which It Is
iiowed.
It is eminently In accordance with the spirit
of the church that all those who use the dis

or prayers and aimsdeeds. of avoiding all
public shows, parties and amusements, and by
abstaining from all Intoxicating beverage.
Ttie time for making tne t-a.ner communion
extends from the first Sunday in Lent to
Trinity Sunday. Inclusive. All the faithful

moreover, subject to excommunication, and,
should they die, to privation of Christian

Parents have to answer to God for their
children. Let them, therefore, remember
that they are obliged In conscience to see
that their children and others under their
charge receive Easter communion.
The reverend rectors are requested to have
special Lenten devotlona on Wednesdays' and

Archbishop of Oregon CTIty.

Bishop of Baker City,
Report of President,
The ever-widening scope of the work of
this Board of Trade and the consequent In
crease, in the number of subjects dealt with
make it difficult to review all of Its activities
In a brief report. This, however. Is a mat
ter for congratulation.
In presenting this report, it would be sadly
remiss did I not acknowledge, in the most
sincere terms and In the fullest manner of
which I am capable, my deep sense of appre
ciation of the honor and consideration which
have characterized the conduct of the mem
bers Individually and collectively towards me
during my occupancy of the president's chair.
Our membership Is now the largest It has
ever been, with a prospect that before the
end of this year the membership will be
larger and the board stronger than at any
time during its existence.
As far as our institution Is concerned, ' we
can look Into the future with the utmost con
fidence, and cherish the belief that, with a
continuance of our well-directed effort pros
perity shall find a permanent abiding place In
our midst.
In regard to ' our financial condition, as
shown by the report of our treasurer. I wish
to point out the fact that the greatly In
creased business of our institution required
larger funds. and I hope that the coming fis
cal year the board will receive the liberal
financial support its good and effective work
deserves.
Plans (or Future. ,
A number of plans should receive the atten
tion of the new board of directors, such as a
grain Inspection and weighing department,
maritime department. Increased telegraph io
service, dally market reports for distribution
among city and country members, and, many
other matters of equal importance.
The statistical reports of the associatloa,
auch as the dally receipts of various commodi
ties, are now fumtehed to a large number of
firms and the dally as well as weekly publi
cations, all of which indicates a due appre
ciation of the value of such data.
Before closing I desire to record the honest
and faithful performance of duty by your sec-
tv an ri him n (Stint ATI ttt.
Mr. Muller, our secretary, has at all times
during the year Deen prompt ana aemuus u.
his every duty, and he deserves our highest
ftimmendationa.
I hope and trust that every business man
of Portland will make an earnest effort to
familiarize himself with the functions of the
Board of Trade, in order tnat ne may
tin.v iTYirwtnnt it in that our institution should
be maintained In Its present efficiency, and, in
fact, should receive a still further financial
support from the business community of our
city.
TOWN WANTS MANY THINGS
Mllwaukie Imposes Numerous Con'
dilions on S. P.
MILAVATJKIB, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.)
J. "W. Morrow, representing the South
era Pacific Railway Company, appeared
before a special meeting of the Milwaukie
Council last night and discussed the
terms of a franchise. The Council will
require cutting down the Webster hill
In the south, making an entrance 12 feet
In the clear; construction of an embank
ment across Kellogg Slough wide enough
for a path on the sides; grades to con
form to the grades of the streets and
street-crossings , to be properly con
ttructed; laying sewers 'and water mains
on intersections occupied by the tracks;
erect and maintain a modern passenger
and freight depot, to be built of stone,
concrete or brick, and keep an agent in
charge; all trains, local and through, to
stop at Mllwaukie; Portland rate of speed
of eight miles to be maintained by trains
passing through Mllwaukie, or the com
pany to maintain gates or flagnien; to
pay the city of Mllwaukie J3000 annually
as compensation for franchise. This last
provision Is made for the reason that the
Council thought It would be necessary to
keep two policemen In constant service
when the track is laid and the Beaverton-
TVillsburg cut-off Is in operation.
Some of these conditions were approved
by Mr. Morrow. For the present the
company will erect . a trestle on plies
across Kellopg's lake, the fill to be made
afterwards. Mr. Morrow was not Inclined
to concede the $2000 annual charge and
there will probably be a hitch on that
point. He contended that the new ex
tension would be taxed to the amount
of ,000.
The question of stopping through trains
he did not think would be practicable,
and the matter of erecting a stone, brick
or concrete passenger and freight depot
will be subject for further negotiation.
After going over the conditions it was
voted -to hold another meeting Friday
night to afford Mr. Morrow opportunity
to consult with his superiors. The in
tention Is to start construction on the
cut-off as soon as the franchise has been
secured and property owners paid for the
land that will be needed for the right-of-way
through Milwaukie. Mayor Streib
presided and all members of the Council
were present, besides many citizens.
Blacksmith Loses Suit.
Judge Gatens yesterday awarded W. S.
Lawyer $373.54 damages in the latter's
suit against H. H. Ulery for $440.22. Law
yer said he rented his blacksmith shop
at Woodland, Wash., to the defendant
and put him up In business, supplying
him with both tools and cash.

SNUFFS OUT LIFE
Henry E. Butler, Despondent,
Drinks Fatal Draft.
LEAVES PATHETIC LETTER
"Wanders Off Into the Woods, Drinks
Carbolic Acid and Ides Down to
Die Was Out of "Work
and Despondent.
Despondent over poor health and In
ability to get work, and sensitive because
nf hid rienendent nosition upon his
friends. Henrv B. Butler, 45 years of age,
a stonemason by trade, committed sul
cirlB last nlerht in the woods In Ladd's
field, near Thirty-seventh street by
swallowing a quantity of carbolic acid,
Before taklnz his life he left a letter giv
ing directions to his roommate, Harry
Doxstator, 1317 Belmont street, as to
where his body would be found. Butler's
farewell to life was simple but pathetic.
He said:
"Discouraged. Good-bye, Dock, and all
of my friends. I've stood this as long as
I can. Such awful feelings! You will
find me over in the big woods on Stark
street. Send my best clothes to J. W.
Butler. Cedar Springs. Mich. Keep the
rest of the things yourself.
(Signed) "H. B. BUTLER.
"P. s. I ain't any good and never will
be, and I know It. H. E. B."
The last seen of Butler alive was at
about 10 A. M. His note was found In his
room when Doxstator returned home
from his work last night. Doxstator
dreaded to go looking for the suicide
alone, so he telephoned to the police sta
tion. Acting Captain Goltz assigned Pa
trolman Fuller to assist the friend of the
suicide in his search. At 9 o'clock, after
looking through the woods for an hour,
they came across Butler's .body, face
down, near Thirty-seventh street. The
Coroner was notified and the body was
removed to the undertaking establish
ment of Dunning, McEntee & Gilbaugh.
Butler had been in Portland for about
two years. He had been out of work for
the past two months. His roommate
modestly explained to the authorities
sent out to investigate the death that
during this time he had supplied Butler
with necessary expenses. Some malady
with which he was not familiar, said
Doxstator, had taken hold of Butler and
had greatly reduced his strength and
spirits. For many nights he had been
unable to sleep and he constantly wor
ried about his condition.
The suicide was 45 years old, a member
of the Oddfellows and came to Portland
from Grand Rapids, Mich. The J. W.
Butler mentioned is believed to be his
brother. He has other relatives living in
Cedar Springs. Butler had spent his last
cent for the carbolic acid with which
he ended his life. Not one penny was
found on him. Inquiry is being made as
to his standing in the order of the Odd
fellows, with a view to having the order
arrange for his funeral services.

Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with the
pain and horror of child
birth. The thought of the
suffering and danger in
store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations
of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which
cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women have found that the use
of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain
