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mission law will be superseded after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

SCHOOLS TO BE DISCUSSED

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

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

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.
