If I am to have mora work tn do I hop I won't be required to start doing it until I learn more about that which I already have undertaken here. I bare much to learn yet about Hi North Kank. the Oregon Trunk and Hie electric lines before thinking; of taking up something else."

The road traverses a rich timber and f.trmlng country and Is one of the best properties owned by the Hills.

Is to as sist In bringing out a full vote In th city election.

J- . Never before has an automobile concern making cars in immense quantities contracted for a strictly high-grade tire for its entire output of cars. The transaction is distinctly to the credit of both the Studebaker Corpora tion and the United States Tire Company . To the former, because of its unwillingness to supply any but tires of proven quality on its cars, regardless of additional cost involved; To the United States Tire Company because the selection of its tires in preference to all others was made after three years experience with one of its four brands Morgan & Wright. It is of interest to note that three years aso the then E-M-F Company decided that the magneto was an essential part of every automobile and ought, therefore, to be included in the price of the car This policv undoubtedly cost the company thousands of dollars in possible profits, but it has resulted in haying magnetos furnished without extra cost on practically all American cars. ' Bv its present decision to use only Continental Demountable Rims as standard equipment, it is adopting another policy that is well-nigh revolutionary in the automobile business, as neretolore rims of this character have been confined to the highest-priced cars. Three years ago the E-M-F Co. selected Morgan & Wright tires as standard equipment WITHOUT OPTION ON OTHER BRANDS. These tires were selected, not because they could be had at a less price (which was not the case) but because the E-M-F Co. had demonstrated to their entire satisfaction that these tires were the most desirable tires to put on their cars. The placing of the immense order referred to above is a flatter ing testimonial to the manner in which these tires have stood, up on the Wil-V cars during these three years. 4. The Studebaker Corporation has selected United States Tires and Continental Rims because of their expressed belief that this equipment on their entire product gives both the dealer and the man who buys the car the BEST equipment the American tire market affords. .United States Tires are sold under four brand names: "J KannlcT the Z HSSoBM IFRI words, Lited States Tires HAVE THE StRKNGTH OF VOKR vet thev sell at precisely the same price asked for other kinds.

May a (Special.) Re ports from examinations all over the atate In the eighth grade indicate a generally poor showing: among stu dents, it being estimated that reports which have so far been received at the ofrtce of the Superintendent of Public Instruction show that approximately SO per cent of the students have failed, particularly tn civil government and grammar, and consequently have been "conditioned." Superintendent Alder man, who has largely bad charge of preparing the questions in these sub jects, said today that undoubtedly tbe questions were somewhat too technical and the fault could not lie altogether with the pupils. - "It la sometimes difficult not to over step the mark In giving these exami nation questiona." he said today. "While In civil government, for instance, we endeavored to follow the course of studv. probably we dwelt too much on the Constitution. It has been the aim to hold up tha students to a high standard and In doing that possibly we nave strainea f puiui. "These pupils who have been 'condi tioned' will have an opportunity to take the examination again In June. At that time we shall vary the questiona and not be so technical In language work and give them questions more tn the line of grammar, and in civil government we shall endeavor to make the same correction of tho line of questions." Reports have been received from a majority of counties in the state and all have shown about the same general average of conditional failures. Super intendent Alderman said that it Had been noticeable from time to time thar students throughout the state had taken slumps In their examination pa pers and all had been practically on the same ratio, indicating that the ex amining board had gone sliphtly be yond the course In preparing the ques tions.
