20 THE 3IORXIXG- OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1910. Cm SITE FOR SCHOOL IS SOUGHT Board of Education Plans Pur chase of Kamm Block for Lincoln High. TRADES BRANCH GROWING Tireclor licach Demands Inquiry Into Charges Made by Archi tects Assistant to Athletic Instructor Xuined. "Wishing- to assist in plans for beauti fying Portland by establishing: a "civic center." and to profit by a movement to that end, the Board of Education yes terday decided to make an effort to, purchase the Kamm block at Park andy Mill streets as a site for the new Lin coln High School. The subject was re ferred to Director Campbell for inves tigation as to price. This may result in the abandonment of the block now owned by the district, bounded by Sev enteenth, Eighteenth, Couch and Davis streets, which was bought originally for the Lincoln building. If it is decided definitely to purchase the block owned by Jacob Kamm, the block originally purchased as the home of the Lincoln High School will be sold, as will be also the present site of the old Lincoln building at Fourteenth and Morrison streets, although a portion of the latter block may be retained for an administration headquarters. District Will Co-operate. These features of the school problem were discussed at considerable length by Chairman- Eleischner and Directors Sabln, Beach, Campbell and Sitton and City Superintendent of Schools Rigler at the regular meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon. It was suggested that the Board endeavor in its bulding operations to fall into line with the plan of the city beautlflcatlon and to locate the new high school build ing near what probably will be the civic center. This, it was pointed out, would harmonize with the plans for a city beautiful. Superintendent Rigler told the Board that the site of the Ladd School, Jef ferson and West Park streets, is the center of the present school population of the West Side, and this led to the discussion of the probable growth of the section as to the north and south. It was agreed generally that progress will be about equal in either direction. Hence the decision to make an effort to secure the Kamm block at Park and Mill streets. The problem of an administration headquarters looms large now. because it is imperative that more room be ob tained. Present quarters , in the City Hall are inadequate, and Mayor Simon urges that they be vacated, o it is necessary that some provision be made. Clerk Thomas reported that, after a consultation with the Mayor, he was authorized to state to the Board that the offices could be used for awhile, but that it was necessary that the room be vacated before long. Trades Sclwiol Growing. There was at first talk in the Board of combining the new Lincoln High School with administration headquar ters, but it was decided it would be best to have them separate. Some of the members said yesterday that it might be well to build administration, offices on the site of the present Atkin son School, which houses the trades and industrial branches. Others thought favorably of retaining sufficient land at the present Lincoln building's loca tion for the purpose, but nothing defi nite was done. Owing to the rapid growth of the trades school, which is prospering be yond all expectation,- it was said by Chairman Eleischner and agreed by the members of the Board, that it probably will be necessary before long to build a special building for this branch of the system, and the Atkinson School site was favored for this. Owing to criticism by Architect Ernst Kroner and Alexander McLeod, for merly a carpenter employed by the Board, Director Beach asked for an in vestigation. The charges concern School Architect Jones, who is at pres ent confined to his home, so nothing definite was done, but when he recov ers and is able to attend the subject will receive attention. The allegations are that Mr. Beach caused private work to be done by Mr. McLeod in his time for which the district paid. Mr. Mc Leod declared this to be true, but Mr. Beach denied It. Mr. McLeod was re cently discharged by Mr. Jones, and Mr. Beach said that he was a "sore head He wants the case investigated to show there was no truth in It, he said. On application by Robert Krohn, sup erintendent of athletics in the schools, for an increase In salary and for an as sistant, resulted in the election of Miss Georgia Wade, sixth-grade teacher in the Elliott School, as assistant. Mr. Krohn's pay was not increased. Councilman Behling and a committee appeared to ask for more rooms at the Failing School, saying the need there was great. It was said by the com mittee that there was insufficient room to accommodate those who attended and the Board will Investigate. A special meeting will be held Wed nesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock for the purpose of hearing a report by Mrs. Sitton, one of the directors, who recently made an extended trip throughout the East and investigated the school systems of many cities.

FRUIT BELT UNSURPASSED Operation Under Carey Act In Ore gon Especially Interesting Peaches and Apples Already Have Yielded Well. Plans provided by the Eastern Oregon Irrigation Company for the reclamation of 30,000 acres In Eagle Valley, Baker County, under the Carey Act, are of es pecial interest because the projectors are men of experience in Idaho, in which state the Carey Act heretofore has found its widest application "and development. The Carey Act has been little used ir Oregon, but in Idaho it has been made to apply to 2,000,000 acres and more than 1,500,000 miles of canals have been built. The preliminary contract to the Eastern Oregon Irrigation Company has been let by the Desert land board. The president of the concern, McCready Sikes, former ly a lawyer of New York, is president of the Wilson Fruit Company, of Boise, owns the largest group of orchards in Idaho, ' and is Identified with the apple industry. Edmund M.' Blake, the general manager of the new company, lives in Boise and has ' been closely identified with ithe irrigation developments of Southern Idaho. He was general man ager of the Idaho Irrigation Company, and is now secretary and general man ager of the Northwestern Lands Com pany. A. H. Brickensteln, of Boise, the general counsel of the new company, is a specialist on Carey Act law. The Boise investors had engineers and a field crew in Eagle "Valley last year and at a meeting of the Desert Land Board at Salem in January had nearly arranged for a preliminary contract with the state of Oregon for the con struction of irrigation works and the segregation and development of the land under the Carey Act. A rival company appeared asserting that by diverting the waters of Pine creek they could reclaim the land at less cost to the settlers than the Boise interests. At a hearing last Thursday, however, the Boise interests won. Under the Carey Act the title to the land is released by the United States Government to the state of Oregon. The etate then sells the land to settlers at the uniform price of $1 an acre, each settler being obliged at the time he buys the land to make a contract with the irrigation company for the purctrase of a water right for his land. "I have spent considerable time in examining these valleys," said Mr. Blake yesterday. "We shall complete the ex amination of the water supply as quick ly as possible, and if we find sufficient water available, the reclamation of this district will mean the opening of a fruit belt surpassed by none in the West. "The highest grade of cantaloupes and water melons grow at the mouth of this valley, along the Snake river, near Rob inett -and Brownlee. On 200 acres near Robinett, C. A. Carothers in 1909 planted three-quarters of an acre to All-Heart melons. From this be sold $300 worth, and had left 1000 melons which he could not haul out in time for market. These melons averaged about 30 pounds in weight, and one of them, weighing So pounds, took the premium at the 1909 Pan-Handle fair. "From two and a third acres of straw berries planted between peach trees, J. M. Holcomb, of Newbridge, received last year $1046. From three-quarters of an acre of apples and tomatoes he netted $660. and last year was a year of almost tinprecedented severe late spring, frosts. The peaches and apples raised in Eagle valley last year were the most convinc ing evidence of the great resources of this valley. "In general, the soil is a decomposed lava ash, seml-basaltlc in character, with a little clay, making it ideal fruit soil. The finest of the crops are raised on the sidehill land, the slope being fairly steep in many of the best orchards." "Ship It to Me" SAYS SMITH Smith wants every dressed veal and hog in the country.
