The reason Commissioner Struthers assigns for his statement is that the recall provisions of the com mission law will be superseded after June IS by the constitutional amend ment regulating recalls. Under the commission law the clerk has 10 days to check names and the Commissioners must then call an election not less than 30 days hence. That would place it past June 13. The amendment nrovldts for an en tlrely different procedure. Charges must first be filed, an abstract maae and printed on petition blanks and the petitions then circulated. When they are filed a sworn statement must be presented giving; names of all Inter ested, who have contributed funds. where the money was spent, etc o charges have yet been filed, but are SCHOOLS TO BE DISCUSSED M'OMAX LOXG A RESIDENT OP ONTARIO PASSES AWAV Uniforms for All Paplls and Lunches, Furnished by Districts, to Be Proposed at Annual S slon of State Organization. ALBANY. Or.. May 11. (Special.) That the fortieth annual session of the Oregon State Grange, which will con vene In this city Tuesday mqrnina; for four days, will be the most important meeting ever held by the organization is Indicated by members. As the biennial election was held last year at Roseburg, no officers will be chosen at the coming session except one member of the executive commit, tee. The retiring member of this com mlttee is C L. Shaw, of Albany. The other two members are C. K. JSpence, of Oregon City, who is ex-offlclo a mem ber by virtue, of bis position as State Master, and 11. G. Leedy, of Corvallia, who was chosen last year for a two year term. Probably the most Important matter which the State Grange wlll consider Is that of co-operation among its mem bers in selling farm products. It is said that an effort will likely be made to establish a market in Portland and perhaps in other cities of the state. A movement is reported to have been in augurated for the' Grange and the Farmers' Union to unite in such a project. Iaereased Doe) to Be Proposed, Another proposal likely to be made to the State Grange is to Increase the monthly dues of members from 10 cents a month to 1 cents, and It Is said that 20 cents may be proposed. Resolutions on various Questions af fecting the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College also may be brought before the session. A proposal to recommend legislation whereby the state shall furnish uni forms for all public school pupils will also be submitted at the coming ses sion. At Its last meeting the Linn County Council of the Grange Indorsed the plan and directed that it be brought before the state meeting. Those who are proposing the plan argue that chfldren of poor parents ais like to go to school, in many cases, be- caune they are not as. well dressed as children of well-to-do parents ana oftentimes suffer on that account and sometimes give, up school work alto gether. They also declare that a uni form would give - schoolchildren pride in their work and increase school at tendance. In this same connection the advo. cates of the plan argue that the school districts should furnish lunches for ail pupils at noon as they assert that poor children are orten asnamea to eai wun the other children and eat alone to avoid displaying the meager contents of their dinner pails. One evening during the session will be devoted to the initiation of candi dates and It Is said that more than 100 will take the fifth and sixth degrees. On the first evening of the conven tion at a brief Informal reception the delegates to the State Grange will De welcomed to Albany by Mayor Gilbert and the Albany Commercial Club will tender the visiting delegates a banquet t t h nw First Preab vterlan Church and will be served by the women of that church under the direction of the I entertainment coramuiee ui um merclal Club, of which G. T. Hocken smith is chairman. Plates will be laid lor more tnan saw guests. CURRY COUNTY TO FRONT Timber Company to Spend $1,000, 000 on Mill and Improvements. , GOLD BEACH, Or May 11. (Spe cial.)

(Special.) 1 v J Refusing to grow old and de ' daring that' youth is a habit with him, Jasper Newton Miller, age 72 rears, who resides near this piace. is one of the most energetic ambitious and popular students of accounting to be found In the classes of the aiearora Business College. Mr. Miiler walks six miles each day In order io reach school and often stays "after hours' to grasp some angle of the study to which he Is applying himself. "I have been trying to catch up with the age ever since I was born." said Mr. Miller with a twinkle In his eye In telling of himself, "and I think that I am close to winning the race now. I had been teaching in the country schools for a decade when I found that If I was to keep abreast of the times I must know bookkeeping. to n tne same way that I left the wagon-mak ing trade at 82 trf learn writing, De i found that without that knowl edge I would always be handicapped, I entered the business college at 7a to learn bookkeeping.", , "Some people laugh at me, others think I am craxy but l am usea tu that. I was 64 years of age when 1 entered the Ashland Normal school and was the Joke of the place for a few weeks. But the teachers were kind to me. B. F. Mulkey. the principal, helped me. Professor J. D. Robb, of Mc.Minnville College, encouraged and assisted me when at 82 I went to him to learn to write. In fact I owe a debt to the teachers of Oregon which they cannot realize and which I can never repay." "What is the secret of my health and ambition? There Is no secret. It Js merely a habit, habit of body and of mind. I haven't touched tobacco for 32 years. I never drink intoxicants. I have gone to bed at 10 o'clock at night for 60 years. I eat practically no meat.' I have three meals a day consisting of graham bread and fruit. Then I was born young I guess. I have never as sociated with old people. I avoid people of my own age now. I like the kids. I like their viewpoint, it coin cides with mine. "I will be through with my course) In a few months. Then I will pass the summer on my timber claim near Butte Falls and secure a position a teacher In some school in Southern Oregon." Mr. Miller learned Latin last year and passes odd momenta with Caesar and Cicero. He says there Is less en joyment In this work than he expected. His interests are more practical and modern. Tet he has a poetical turn. Here is his symphony: "I try to live In such a way that every 'now shall come back from yes- j Jasper Newton Miller terday as a dream of happiness that is not all a dream and every tomorrow shall usher in a vision of hope dax xllng with the colors of pleasure more brilliant than the gorgeous colors of a rainbow In the wake of a receding storm." Mr. Miller Is a fluent speaker and has a memory as available as a card Index. He can reel off names and dates and initials of Oregon people by the yard. His wife died nearly 50 years ago, but the three children, who crossed the plains In a prairie schooner, are still living. They are Earl L. Miller of Portland; James H. Miller, ot Tucson, Arizona, and Mrs. Lizzie Miller (married a man of the same name) of Eugene. Linn County Coincidence Unique. " ALBANX Or.. May 11. (Special.) A peculiar coincidence in relation to for mer county officers of Linn' County de veloped yesterday when the County Court appointed two former members of the County Court of Linn County as viewers to report on a road applied for by a former County Clerk. H. M. Palm er, of Albany, ex-County Judge, and H. B. Sprenger, of Shedds, ex-County Commissioner, were named by the court to act with County Surveyor Geddes as a board of county road viewers to view a road applied for by several petition ers headed by Frank Crabtree, ex County Clerk, who now resides about eight miles east of Albany. Ex-Judge Palmer and ex-Commissioner Sprenger were members of the County Court at the same time, both being elected in 1900 for a term of four years. Crab tree was County Clerk from 1898 to 1900.
