MEASURE
W. S. U'Ren Explains Proposal
to Establish Cabinet Form
of State Rule.
AMENDMENT TO BE BROAD
InltiatiTe Provision Already Defeat
ed by Voters, Embodied In Xevr
Bill Emergency CUmto and
Veto Power to Be Curtailed.
SALEM. Or, Aua 11- (SpeUl. An
effort to change the system of state
a-orernment through the executive will
be made by the People's Power League
at the next general eleetlon by the us
of the Initiative, according to W. iv.
VRen. of Oregon City, who waa here
today.
The plin. which waa freely discussed
In IMS through agitation by Mr. tTRen
and the power lesa-ue. will be placed
on the ballot. The proponed amend
ment, which will be submitted by the
league, will embrace a number of
measure, some of which have already
come before the people, and have been
defeated.
The nucleus of the new bill will be
a proposal to stablish a cabinet form
of government, similar to that which
now exl'la In connection with the Na
tional internment. The proposal Is to
elect the chief executive and allow him
to appoint a cabinet which will have
charge of the administrative affairs of
state.
Proportional hjMem Involved.
The plan for a system of propor
tional representation will again be
tried out. This came before the peo
ple at the election In 1J10 and met with
a decisive defeat.
Among the other proposed measures
to be Incorporated In the single amend
ment will he one similar to the bill
voted on at the last election, providing
for changes In the organic law cover
ing the Legislative Assembly. This
amendment In Itself, as voted on at the
last election, contained a multiplicity
of different amendments. It also will
be Incorporated, with others, at the
next election.
The proposed amendment would re
strict the use of the emergency clause
and veto power on state and municipal
legislation: Increase the Initiative, ref
erendum and recall power; provide for
the election of the Speaker of the
House and President of the Senate out-
side of the members of those houses;
restrict the duration of corporate fran
chises: provide against legislative ing
rolling and provide for annual aesslons
of the Legislature.
Measures to lie Modified.
"These measure will be eomewhst
modified. Jut to what extent I am un
able to say now." said Mr. L' Ren today.
"But I am satisfied that the Peoples
Power League will Introduce but one
measure for the next election, and this
wl'l be the amendment.
"The plan of establishing a cabinet
form of government, choeen by an
Fleeted executive, was discussed freely
In 109. and the league has reached a
conclusion to have It placed on the bal
lot during the next year for the con
sideration of the voters In 112. In
stead of offering several different
amendments to the constitution, we
will embody all of these plans In one.
which will Include the proportional
representation plan as voted on at the
iaat election. This provides for an
election of the members of the Legisla
ture by a system of proportional rep
resentation Instead of under rhe sys
tem that ta now In use."

wet weather. But If they cannot be
lowered for 30 dnya or six weeks. It will
be difficult to finish the pavement be
fore Winter. The big roller ran Into
one of these mains and caused a leak,
so that It was necessary to shut the
water off. 'The 30-lnch main Is the one
connecting with the Palatine Hill pump-

GOOD OF CHILD AIM
Alderman Urges Importance of
Hygiene in School Study.
BOY TO BE SPICK AND SPAN
Clean Finger Nails, Well-Brushed
Hair, Neat Clothes and Shiny
Shoes Aro Deemed to Bo
of Most Importance.
SALEM. Or, Aug. 21. (8peclal.) A
shorter course In technical grammar, a
complete course In drawing. Datura
study, agriculture. Industrial work and
music and the manuel training, openlnd
with a course of study In physiology
and hygiene. In which special emphasis
Is laid on practical hygiene, are soma
of the features In the new course of
study for the schools .which has been
prepared by Superintendent Alderman.
The manual of the revised course of
study will be ready for distribution
about August SO. Clean finger nails,
well-brushed hair, shiny shoes and
clean clothes are other recommenda
tions, y
In corrtmentlng on the new courses
the Superintendent says:
"In carrying on the work outlined In
this course of study I hope the teach
ers of Oregon will, first of all. look to
the health of the boqs and girls. See
to this and then. If there Is any time,
teach the other "work offered In this
course. The primary object of tho
study of physiology In our schools
should be to teach an intelligent care
of the body." x
Old-Time Recess Favored.
Teachers are advised to return to the
old-time recess of not less than 15
minutes during the morning session
and again In the afternoon, but It is
said that the recess will do no good
unless the te'achcr makes a aupervlslon
of the planground a serious part of the
day's work.
The more simple facts of sanitation
aer expected to be tauKht. In speak
ing of this Mr. Alderman says that it
Is of more value to the boy who ex
pects to live in the country to know
that the well should be dug In a place
where It will not receive the drainage
from the barn or the closet than to
know the exact number of bones or
muscles In the body. The teachers are
also adfjsed to teach this work by ex
ample aT well as by direct method. The
achoolgrcunds and the outbuildings
are to be cared for: the Interior of the
bulldigns should be kept clean, and,
where the buildings have no special,
ventllatlrg system, every window is
to be provi.ie.1 with a window-board,
so thst the children may have an
abundance of fresh air. -
The course In language has special
emphasis placed upon tearing to use
the best forms of expresslson In writ
ing and In speaking. A list of pic
tures, which are reproductions of mas
terpieces. Is given for each grade. The
pupils are to study these In the earlier
a-radrs: they are to talk about them.
and. in the advanced grades, they are
to be made the basis or composition
work. It Is especially urged that the
teachers show the pupils how to cor
rect their own errors Instead of doing
thia work for them.
Progressive oWrk si Plan.
In the first three grades the pupils
are to study the pictures, reproduce
short stories told by the teacher And
correct their most common errors In
speaking. In the Intermediate grades
they are to reproduce in writing snort
narratives, to memorise a certain
mount of noetry and to write friend
ship tnd business letters. The work
In technical grammar la given in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades. A
careful obtllne has been prepares so
that the teacher will not spend too
much time-with this work, and yet a
sufficient amount is given so that the
nuoil completing the eighth grade will
understand thoroughly the essential
elements of a sentence.
In civil arovernment the work Is. con
fined to a study of the constitutional
convention and the Constitution Itself.
The work In history, reading, spelling,
geography and writing Is pjractlcally
the same as In the oia course oi siuay.
A modern course of study In drawing
Is offered and one that will be very
helpful to the teachers. In this Mr.
Alderman says:
"Of late years there has been a won-

Ferdinand T. struck.
CNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene. Aug. IS. (Special.) Word
has juaf been received from City
School Superintendent Colllcott,
of Tacoma. Wash., that Ferdinand
T. Struck, cf Hood River, a grad
uate of the University of Oregon
In the class of 1I1, has been
elected to the faculty of the Ta
coma High School. Struck will
teach manual training and act as
assistant trainer of the track

While at Oregon. Struck ma

partment. In his Junior year he
wss president of the German Club
and In his senior year was stu

and president of the Engineering
Club. In 1909 he was assistant
In the woodshop at the university.
Although he never starred In
track and field work. Struck
studied faithfully under Trainer
"Bill" Hayward, and was a mem

years.
Superintendent Colllcott taught

this year.

w . a
j; - A
derful change in the teaching of draw
ing. New methods have been devel
oped, methods which charm the child."
In speaking of the value of this course
Mr. Alderman says:
"One of the worst tendencies of the
age Is towards dependence on others
for amusement, the love of pleasures
that cost. Public school drawing
should work against this: the search
for beauty In common things should
be one of Its avowed aims. Children
have natural ability to appreciate
beauty in what they see. Through
drawing this appreciation may be de
veloped Instead of being allowed to
die away, and may take the place of
the craving for less wholesome pleas
ures." .
BERRY FARMS FLOURISH
Sand Ridge Becomes Important In
Producing of Fruit.
ILWACO, 'Wash., Aug. 1. CSpecIal.)
One mile north of here and nearly
the same distance east from the Pa
cific Ocean at Seaview, is the "Sand
Ridge." noted for the production of
strawberries. The ridge is the re
mains of a aaad dune which runs paral
lel rlth the ocean shore line. Flanked
on both sides of a road built on top of
the done are the ranches from which
come a class of berries equal if not
superior to the Hood River product.
About a dozen families live on the
"ridge" and their holdings will aver
age close to S acres. The yield ot
berries this season probably will be
nearly SO per cent of last year's crop.
The decrease was caused by the cold
winds and excessive rains which pre
vailed' at the beginning of -the season
and later the extreme drouth.
A few patches in favorable localities,
however, produced a full crop. The
strawberries from half an acre be
longing to James Hughes were sold
for upwards of $400. The "ranchers"
are now busy cultivating the plants
which produce the Fall berries, and
these are estimated to mature between
40 and SO crates of fruit an acre. At
the usual prices $6.00 per crate the
late strawberry crop will bring about
$200 to the acre. If weather conditions
are favorable, the setting will bear
berries as late as November, or even
December.
Strawberries, however, are not the
only crop which can be raised on the
ridge. Potatoes and all of the com
mon vecetables grow luxuriantly, and
frequently two crops of the former can
be produced from the same patch of
ground in one season. Some of the
ranchers are also preparing to plant
cranberries on the marshy parts of
their property.
LUMBER STANDARD IS AIM
Manufacturers' Association In Favor
of Pattern Schedule,
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. (Special.)
The lumber manufacturers of the
country, through the NaUonal Lumber
Manufacturers' Association, with head
quarters In this city, are endeavoring to
have the various organizations affiliat
ed Avlth the National association agree
to the use of one standard for the
manufacture of all patterns of lumber,
such as flooring, siding, shlplap and
other similar patterns in different dis
tricts or lumber-producing centers of
the country. With this in view. Presi
dent GrlKgs is arranging to appoint a
committee, to consist of one member
from each of the 13 affiliated associa
tions, to prepare the specifications,
which may then be submitted to-aacb.
of the associations for approval.
If uniformity In manufacture can be
secured much better results will be ob
tained, both to the manufacturers ana
'he retail dealers, and especially to the
consumer. It is pointed out by T. J.
Humblrd. of Sandpolnt. Idaho, that in
certain common territory, where deal
ers are purchasing from different dis
tricts, say In Nebraska, where part of
their purchases are from the Soutn.
part from the Pacific Coast, a portion
from the Inland Empire and possibly
from the northern pine mills, the deal
ers are placed at a great disadvantage
on account of the lack of uniformity in
the manufacture of the same class of
material.
It Is thought that It will not be diffl
cut to secure the adoption of standard
sizes, since the sizes for patterns used
by manufacturers In different districts
differ very little. This Is In line with
the very purpose stated in the associa
tion's constitution and bylaws, for
hlch it waa organized.
WATER FRANCHISE SOUGHT
Eastern Capitalists Would Install
' for Coos Bay Towns. .
MARSHFIELD, Or.. Aug. 8. (Spe
cial.) A franchise for a water system
to supply Coos Bay Is sought by East
ern capitalists who have negotiated for
th purchase of the present water sys
tem, owned by the Coos Bay Water
Company. The deal is virtually closed,
but will not be consummated until
Marshflold grants the franchise wanted.
The company expects to furnish
water both to Marshfleld and North
Bend, but as the old company, holds a
franchise In North Bend which will be
transferred with the sale, it is not
necessary to seek a franchise In that
city. At present the two towns are
considering the establishment of a mu
nicipal waterworks system, and It la a
question whether the municipal plan
will be carried out or whether the fran
chise will be granted.
The prospective purchasers are rep
resented here by William A. Jackson,
an attorney of Milwaukee. Wis., and T.
J. Nowlin, an attorney of Omaha, Neb.
These same capitalists, with Mr. Ney
as president, established the Eastern
Oregon Light & Power Company, which
supplies light and power to Baker City,
La Grande, North Powder and other
points.
MODEL FARM PLANNED

VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 13.
(Special.) Clark County Is to have a
model farm of 30 acres, which will,
according to the owner, tend .to prove

C. F. A. Peck pleaded rot guilty yes
terdav in Judge McGinn's division of

Contagious Blood Poison is responsible for a great many old blood
troubles, such as scrofulous affections, skin eruptions, catarrhal troubles.
Rheumatism, ulcerating sores, etc. There is no such thing' as ridding
the system of these effects by killing the poisonous germs. Any med
icine powerful enough to accomplish this would also destroy many of
the delicate linings and tissues, and wreck the constitution. The only
way to cure old blood troubles is to REMOVE the cause from the circu
lation, and for this purpose nothing is equal to S.S.S. It goes into the
blood, and drives out every taint and poison, and makes this vital fluid
pure, rich and nourishing. S. S. S. has long been known as the greatest
of all blood purifiers and many thousands have rid themselves of old
blood diseases by its use. It ALWAYS removes the impurity from the
blood. Book on the blood and medical advice free to all. S. S. S. is for
