The facts clearly indicate that this would be in adequate. Four special elections would be necessary, covering a period of four years, to raise $2,500,000 by an addi tional two-mill levy. . Delay Not Permissible, "The school patrons must recognize that we will be compelled to ask for an additional two-mill levy, even if the bond issue carries, to provide for the normal growth of our schools, which is progressing at the rate of 2000 pupils a year. 7hose who suggest the two-mill levy as an alternative to the bond is sue, are succeeding only in muddying the water and confusing the issue. It should be understood that the 32,500, 000 issue would take care of the com Ing year's needs, and of nothing else. Moreover, if a special election were to be called and the two-mill additional tax voted, it would be more than a year before building could begin. The needs of the present are imperative. They will not admit of this delay The attitude of those who suggest it isn't sound at all." B. S. Josselya Makes Statement. The following statement, with 1 spect to the report of the sub-committee on the bond issue, of the commit tee of 100 on school affairs, was is sued yesterday by B. S. Josselyn, chair- mon of the sub-committee: The committee did not have the time to ro Into an extended and complete investiga tion of the needs of additional school buildinjrs in Portland, but was guided by the exhaustive study ot the subject furnished the committee by School Clerk Thomas, and was convinced that the need was great for additional buildings, particularly on the east side of the river. But investigation did not prove that the temporary buildings now used were a menace to the health or studies of the pupils, but. to the contrary were superior in many cases to so-called modern buildings from the standpoint of ventilation, etc., advertisements in the daily press to the contrary notwithstanding. The committee objected to false state- ments being made in regard to many points of fact, for the purpose of creating a sense of fear in the mind of the public and there by cause it to vote in favor of bonds with the feeling that if it did not that many pu pils would not be properly housed and. in danger of some form of sickness or disease. Bond Issue Opposed. As stated, there is no argument against the need of additional school buildings in Portland, as nothing has been done in that direction of moment during the last four years on account of the 6 per cent limitation. which has prevented money being raised from taxation In excess of the operating re quirements of the schools. But the com mittee does object to the means adopted for financing the requirements through an issue Brown Oxford, low heeL koko calf. t. Knight Shoe Co.

The matter will be re ferred to the club membership at the Friday noon session. The resolution of the board of governors says: We believe that the question of matcin our public educational facilities keep pace with our population is so vital to the future economic welfare of our city that monetary considerations of present cost cannot be the deciding element in the present icsue, and that because of the admitted necessity of further buildings wherein properly to house the ever-Increasing; school population, now far beyond the present capacity, are most strongly of the opinion that said bond issue should be passed. SLOUGH BIDS TOO HIGH COCXCIIi REJECTS- PROPOSAL FOR CHAXXEL WORK. Action of Park Officials Ronse9 Ire of Commissioner Barbur, Who Opposes Delay. Bids for the digging; of a channel from the Columbia river to the' Co lumbia river slough, amounting to $391,- 700, submitted by the Pacific Bridge company, were rejected yesteraay oy the city council and City Auditor Funk was authorized to re-advertise for bids. The bid was illt.700 above City En gineer Laurgaard's estimate. Advice that a member or the Fort of Portland commission had telephoned to Commissioner Bigelow and advised him that digging of the -proposed chan nel would result in shoaling at the point where the elough flows into the Willamette river arousedi the ire of Commissioner Barbur, who questioned the sincerity of any member of the Port commission who would make such a statement at this time. 'It looks to me like a game to de lay the Columbia elough channel proj ect," eaid Commissioner Barbur. "Why did this man not address a written communication to the city council or call on me? I am the commissioner of public works and this matter has been before the public for three months or more. Why this effort to delay the proceedings when we have bids before us?" 'I am not apologizing for any mem ber of the Port of Portland commis sion." said Commissioner Bigelow, "but in view of this information I believe that all proceedings should be delayed until we have had time to have a con ference with members of the Port com mission and investigate the situation. The member of the commission who telephoned me was Phil Metschan Jr., and I think he told me in good faith The channel is planned as a part of the Peninsula sewer system and was authorized following an investigation made by A.

The board of governors of the city club repudiates the erroneous impres sion that the club is opposed to the Strand. A THRILLING mystery story of New York society Is depicted in "Sus pense," the superb film attraction that opened with the new bill at the Strand yesterday. The plot tells of the ad ventures of a beautiful heroine and her adventures In attempting to regain stolen documents. Miss Mollie King is the beauty about whom the storm of intrigue and aJven- ure centers. Miss King s work in this film is sure to add new laurels to her present store of popularity. An ab- orbing love story which appeals to everyone is woven throughout the play. The clever crook, as well as the lovely belle, is interpreted by the leading woman. A short snappy comedy, "The Spell of the Y-ukon," is another Strand at traction that is sure to draw capacity ouses. for it is full of life and gen uine humor. Then the "International ews" is given with Its up-to-the- minute educational information and live interest. Of the four big vaudeville acts all are good, but two especially might be given headline mention. There is Madame La Dare, "the great escape artist," who has a novelty offering, daring, surprising, spectacular. La Dare holds the audience breathless when she escapes from a stralghtjacket while in midair. Her partner in the act, Will iams, does a turn, dancing with mirth provoking antics and dexterity and rounds out a dandy number on the bilL Song and dance and chatter are pre sented by Chase and Janis, who have some colorful costumes, are graceful and nifty and nimble of foot with most pleasing personalities. Then there are tne dances ana tne songs of Clara Durton, who seems to make an instant hit, and the playlet by Fields and Kalish, who are seen in a recruiting station. The problems of the recruit are ably presented and the audience has a good laugh. ALASKANS TO HOLD DANCE Flans Launched to Raise Fund to Advertise City in Xorth. The Alaska society of Oregon wants to advertise Portland in Alaska ana make the attractions of this place so familiar to the residents of the far orth that they will desire to spend all their winters here. To that end they want to raise a fund and "get busy, according to the statement of E. H. McColIis. secretary of the society. To accumulate this fund the society will give a series of festivities' and entertainments, the first of which will be a moonlight excursion, or, as they term It, "a midnight sun anniversary," on the Swan next Tuesday evening, leaving Jefferson street wharf at 8 o'clock and returning at 11:45 o'clock. The society wants all the "old sour doughs" and all the young folk who enjoy dancing, music and a general good time to attend.
