Education.
FLIGHT CONTEST DEVELOPS
bA. W. Xambert Receives 134 Votes
i to Sabln's 645 Chairman Wlt-
; tenberg Facetiously Instructs
SnoceMor, Who Is Sworn In.
R. L. Sabln was elected director of
the Board of Education of School Dis
trict No. 1 at the school election held
yesterday afternoon. Although his
election had been expected -without oo-
Lpositlon. friends of A. W. Lambert, East
Portland business man. became active
fat the last minute and endeavored to
obtain the place for their candidate.
Mr. Sabln received 645 votes, while Mr.
W-ambert's total was 134. The term nf
Nfflce is five years.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
canvass of the vote at the City Hall,
last night, Mr. Sabln was sworn into
Ills new position, taking the place of H.
.Wittenberg, who surrendered his seat
after ten years' continuous service. I
pK. Flelschner succeeded to the chair
manship of the Board, and lmnn tha
withdrawal of Mr. Wittenberg, Mr.
kFlelschner was formally ushered Into
Jiis place at the head of the Board.
Entry of an unexpected candidate
Into the field added Interest to an elec
tion which was expected to be nothing
nore than a formality. It Is said that
supporters of Mr. Lambert had been
planning such a coup for several days,
but quietly remained in the background
until the last. The fact that he was
vetting considerable of a vote on the
East Side occasioned no little alarm,
early in the afternoon, among those
who were looking after the interests
if Mr. Sabin In the election. Telephone
'tails to voters were made In large num
bers by representatives of both camps.
In but one of the 17 school election
precincts did Mr. Lambert run ahead,
nd that was In the Ninth, where he
resides. There he got a total of 74
votes, as compared with 14 for Sabin.
Women Taxpayers Vote.
For suffragists It was a glorious day.
Women could vote quite as readily as
men. provided, of course, they were
owners of real property and that their
names regularly appeared on the as
; cessment roll of Multnomah County.
; l'o way was available for getting flg
, tires as to the number of women who
exercised their voting prerogative, but
It Is said the number was reasonably
large, possibly greater than 50 per cent
of the total vote cast.
The polls were open from 2 until 6
I M. There was no rush In any of the
voting precincts at any time. On the
West Side of the river there was a vot
ing place to each of the six wards, while
on the East Side there were two voting
plaoes to the ward, with additional ones
at Portsmouth, Mount Tabor and Ar
ista. The first count was completed shortly
after 7 o'clock, and the final canvass
was ended by 8 P. M. The Board of
Education was In regular session to re
ceive its new member, as soon as his
Identity had been established by the
count. Mr. Wittenberg, the retiring
member and chairman, arose to wel
come the newcomer and say farewell to
his associates of the Board. He took
occasion to point out the peculiarities
of the various members so that Mr. Sa
bln might be fully advised.
Wittenberg Warns Successor.
"It is a very good Board you are com
ing Into." he advised the new member.
"I do want to warn you about a few
things, though. Mr. Beach, there. Is an
excellent director, but you'll find he Is
always seeking to hire good-looking
and red-haired teachers. That is his
especial hobby.
"Then there's Mr. Flelschner. He's
really an excellent worker, for he's al
ways looking out for the Interests of
-the teachers and trying to see that they
get everything possible.
"Mr. Campbell you know pretty ,well
yourself. So there's no use of my try
ing to tell you about him. Mrs. Sltton
la. a very tine Director, and any time
you want a Janitor, just ring her up.
She always has a fine list. As for Mr.
Rlgler. he couldn't be Improved upon'
and you'll always find him pleasant and
non-committal, except when It's abso
lutely necessary for him to say some
thing. Then he may loosen up and say
a word or two."
In conclusion the retiring Director
said that In the ten years he had been
with the Board his associations with
the members had always been of the
most pleasant nature. He apparently
was deeply moved at leaving the Board.
Mr. Flelschner. on taking the chair,
took occasion to express the high re
gard In which Mr. Wittenberg was held
by the Board. "He has done hard, earn
est and effective work, and has always
had the welfare of the district at
heart," said Mr. Flelschner. "We all
hate to see him leave."
Mr. Sabln has been a resident of Port
land tor 21 years past, during which
time he has followed the practice of law
and has been the active secretary of the
Merchants' Protective Association. He
served for three years as a member of
Mayor Lane's Executive Board, but re
signed last September owing to contin
ued differences with the Mayor.

A brief business session followed the
installation of Mr. Saln, the new direc
tor. W. T. Vaughn was on hand to de
mand a new schoolhouse for Woodlawn,
representing that the structure there
was totally unfit for use. The same com
plaint was entered at a previous meeting
of the board and Mr. Vaughn insisted
that some action ought to be taken dur
ing the Summer looking to the construe-;
tlon of a new building. His report that
the building was unsuited to school pur
poses was confirmed by Building In
spector Dobson. The matter was referred
to the committee on repairs.
It was decided to allow $10 a week for
caretakers at the educational exhibit
from Portland at the A-Y-P Exposition.

VAUGHN GREATLY FEARED
MAX HE BEAT UP REFUSES TO
PROSECUTE.
Belligerent Real Estate Man Must
Leave This Part of Country,
However, at Once.
Fearing a repetition of the Dickerson
tragedy, Robert Dunkel, assaulted by C.
C. Vaughn, a real estate dealer, on the
Portland Heights carline recently, Is said
to have agreed not to prosecute Vaughn,
provided the latter will leave this part of
the country. Vaughn pleaded guilty to a
charge of simple assault before Presid
ing Circuit Judge Bronaugh yesterday
afternoon, and sentence was postponed
indefinitely. He was then allowed to go
on his own recognizance. Judge Bro
naugh said last night It was a case
where, if all the parties are satisfied
the state is.
Vaughn gave Dunkel a beating with a
piece of iron pipe June 9. Mrs. Vaughn
recently obtained a divorce from her huB
band, who evidently blamed Dunkel for
the separation, although his suspicions
are declared to lrnv. i..n -iv...

KEWT TORK, June 31. Jerome D.
Trevers, the National amateur golf
champion, who returned from England
Sunday, told why he did not get past
the first round In the amateur champion
ship of Great Britain.
"Their system of playing golf is en
tirely different from ours." said Mr
Travers, "and they have many more good
players than we have. When the best

golf of high class Is furnished from the
start. Of course, I had to contend against
a strange, raw. foggy climate and a dif

I did not play so badly. On the other

Ft. G. Brown, Assistant Freight

of railroad building, and the recent

is played in the Northwest, his opinion
is considered worthy of regard.
Mr. Brown was Inclined to laugh at
some of the bogle theories evidently
malicously disseminated in Portland re

TERMIXAL DUTICtXTY OVER?
H. C. Nutt Intimates Trouble May
Soon Be Settled.
That the Portland terminal situation
will be settled in the course of a very
few days was the only Inference to be
gathered from an Interview last nisrht
.aC' Nutt. general manager or
the Northern Pacific.
The only difficulty standing ln the way
of the Hlll-Harrlman agreement with
regard to the Vancouver-Tacoma tracks
has been the Portland terminal situa
tion." said Mr. Nutt in the course of
conversation in which he mentioned that
the terminal situation at Taooma was
now settled by the Northern Pacific per
mitting the Oregon & Washington to use
the Hill depot.
From Mr. Nutt's remark It appears safe
to assume the Portland terminal situa
tion has reached a state when the Hill
and Harriman officials have agreed to
agree. That a conclusion more welcome
to the public cannot fail to follow in the
course of a brief time Mr. Nutt ad
mitted. Regarding the Portland-Tacoma track
age arrangement, Mr. Nutt said the line
had not been purchased, that while the
O. R. & N. would be permitted to operate
trains on it they would be operated under
his personal Jurisdiction. There has been
a belief that J. D. Farrell. president of
the Oregon & Washington, would control
the track as far as the O. R. & N.
trains are concerned, but Mr. Nutt's
statement explodes this idea.
Mr. Nutt further declared there had
been no purchase of the Northern Pa
cific tracks, but as to what arrangement
had been come to he would make no
statement. In reply to a query suggest
ing a heavy rental Mr. Nutt smiled.
He was asked what effect Harriman
competition would have upon Northern
Pacific business and did not seem to
think there would be any -great loss to
the H311 line. "Of course any business
the O. R. & N. happens to take away
from us will be business lost to our line,
for previously we have had all the busi
ness," he said.
A suggestion it might be contemplated
running the Shasta Limited to Seattle

Nutt said the new Tacoma depot
would be completed December, 1910, that
pending the completion of the Harriman
tunnel at Tacoma,- the Northern Pacific
(depot would be used by the Oregon &
Washington. He said that Tacoma would
then have the finest depot West of St.
Louis.
I.YTI.E ROAD HAS DIFFICULTY
Force of 500 Men Hewing "Way
Through Primeval Forest.
President Lytle reports that over 500
men are now scattered along the route
of the Pacific Railroad & Navigation
Company by J. w. Sweeney, the con
tractor for the line from Buxton to
Tillamook. According to Mr. Lytle who
has Just returned from a trip along the
route of the road, Sweeney has several
camps In full swing, and is pushing
wagon roads Into the interior as fast
as possible. As Instancing some of the
construction difficulties, Mr. Lvtle said
there were many trees 6 and 8 feet ln
diameter which had to be removed be
fore the railroad could make any show
ing. Further, the whole line lay
through entirely new country, rocky
gorges, mountain torrents and primeval
forest forming only a few of the difficulties.

MILWAUKEE IS TO BOND
ISSUE OF $25,000,000 TO BE PTrt
OUT AT OXCE.
Money to Be Used for Developing
Feeders to Slain Line in
Northwest.
According to a well-informed railroad
official, an immediate issue of bonds for
the Clfcago, Milwaukee & St- Paul roads
is pending to the amount of 25,000,000 for
feeders and extension lines in the North
west. As has been before stated, the Mil
waukee lines advocate the policy of ex
tension by branches, throwing innumer
able small feeders into the country
drained by the main lines. This Is be
lieved to be the policy foreshadowed ln
the Northwest.
These bonds are being Issued by the
Pacific Coast branch of the Milwaukee
and will probably be entirely absorbed
by the parent syBtem. It is said bankers
all over America would be glad to sub
scribe, owing to the nature of the se
curities, but an impression is current that
five bonds, of the value of $5,000,000 each,
will be issued.
This this issue portends still further
and greater development ln the North
west appears unquestioned. The direc
tors of the Pacific Coast branch of the
Milwaukee system have authority to Is
sue bonds to $200,000,000 and have already
availed themselves to half this extent in
building the road as far as Tacoma.
There yet remains ln the treasury, it is
stated, approximately $25,000,000, making
with the new Issue an available fund of
$50,000,000 for immediate work.
Full publicity to the announcement
awaits the return of President Earllng
to New York, as nominally, at least, the
issue will require his official sanction
It is well known ln New York financial
circles that the Milwaukee has made
Portland its eventual Pacific Coast ter
minal and that impression is current that
the arrangement with the O. R. & N is
but temporary. Whether the Milwaukee
will push on to Portland via the Ta
coma Eastern at once, appears doubtful
but a well-informed railroad man said
part of the new issue was designed to
cover the cost of the Tacoma Eastern,
which, it is known, has been sold, more
or less formally, to the Milwaukee.
With the exception of its entrance to
Tacoma the Tacoma Eastern has excel
lent grades much on the pattern of
solidity President Earllng has made the
watchword of his road. The road has
not been an unquestioned success, owing
to its limited territory, while with the
territory made available by a Milwaukee
extension to Portland, the road is
thought to be well worth its purchase
price to the Milwaukee system.
COMMON SENSE
Pood Win You Fel Out of
Sorts.
"A great deal depends upon yourselt
and the kind of food you eat," the wise
old doctor said to a man who came to
him sick with stomach trouble and sick
headache once or twice a week, and
who had been taking pills and differ
ent medicines for three or four years.
He was induced to stop eating any
sort of fried food or meat for break
fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and
cream, leaving off all medicines.
In a few days he began to get better,
and now he has entirely recovered and
writes that he Is in better health than
he had been before in twenty years.
This man is 68 years old and says he
feels "like a new man all the time."
"There's a Reason."
