This leaves Assistant Clerk Rich ardson in charge of the office as tem porary chief clerk, but it is thought probable that another appointment will be made and that the position of assistant clerk may be abolished, as Messrs.

Schroeder Thinks Case Weak. Mr. Schroeder said that he did not believe the members of the Governing Board, who placed the- charges against him. had made out a good case. Mr. Logan said he was of the opinion that the members of the Board made out sufficient case to show that the city was not getting the best It should get In the bureau and that he believed the best solution would be the resigna tion of the members of the Board and Mr. Schroeder himself. .

From Rainier on the north the eye sweeps in one majestic semi - circle, along the snow-crested ridge of the Cascades, all the way to Mt. Jefferson, 210 miles. You pass St. Helens, Adams and Mt. Hood. . You see the millions of , acres of forests, valleys, canyons, gorges and all the wonderful mani festations of Nature. Bight at your feet is the busy, throbbing metrop olis of Portland, only 10 minutes away. There is the beautiful Willamette, with its forest of masts, flying all the flags of the world. Yonder scurries a " steamer, here a white-winged sailboat, there a darting launch. ' Sit all day and gaze on this panorama from your front porch. Never a same vision twice. The face of the land is changing moment after moment. - Then night settles down, first kissing the peaks of the Cascades a pink good-night. Then follow the lights, flashing out all over the city as family after family gathers around the evening table. You see cars dash ing here and there and fading away into the darkening distance. Follows then the fading, lights, and moon - light settles softly over the sleeping city. Ever chang ing, ever new, a view from Westover Terraces is an inspiration to new life every morning.
