Baumgar ten says he was walking along Alder street when Hepburn approached him and introduced himself as a farmer from San Francisco.

The libra rian and the head of the county depart ment are now paying their annual visits to the schools of the county to distribute the schoolroom libraries. Two trips have been made by automobile Into the west ern part of the county and one to Aims and the schools in that far-away corner. Teachers and pupils in these far-away districts give the heartiest welcome to the books and their distributors, and ways and means are often devised where bv additional books may be sent to the schools or new library stations establish ed. These trips will be continued as long as the weather permits and it is hoped that every school and library sta tion will be visited. Seamen's Concerts Success. The recent concerts at the Seamen's Institute, Front and Flanders streets, given by Miss Maude A. Curtis and Miss Ruth Eddlngs. respectively, have fully maintained the high standard of music, which for many years past has characterised these per formances, and there waa a large audi ence on both occasions. News Notes From East Side High School EVERYBODY at the East Side High School is celebrating the football vic tory of last Wednesday, and all have high hopes of "skinning" the other teams In the Interscholastlc League. The Portland Academy boys are in mourning over the defeat of their team. One of them even went to the extent of coming to school next day with a black eye. However, he has plenty of good excuse aa to its cause. The first Issue of "The Lens" appeared Monday and has met with much ap proval. The various articles are better than usual, being more Interesting and of a high quality. There is an unusu ally large number of subscribers this term and the students come slowly fil ing out of the building, all deeply ab sorbed In "The Lens." Mr. Herdman haa organized a glee club for the girls, and 125 ftirla have joined. They will meet Thursdays and receive Instructions from Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed. The .Glee Club will be a star attraction at all entertainments the school may give, and its organiza tion Is thought to be a good thing for the school. A writers, or authors' club, has also been organized for the purpose of de veloping the literary talent of Its mem bers. This club will work for "The Iens." and is expected to be a great help to the literary department of the paper. The first meeting of this club was held ThursdRy. As soon as possible a constitution will be drawn up and the officers will be elected. At a football rally Tuesday Dr. Paul Rader. after talking to the boys about the football team, spoke to the girls about the basketball team. He encour aged the girls to take part in the bas ketball doings, and many girls have shown their willingness to support the basketball team. The Eukrineons gave an especially good programme Friday. The room waa so crowded that the audience had to sit two in a seat. The first number was a recitation by Mack. He told the story of Benedict Arnold in eloquent language, and was loudly applauded. Next came a vocal number by Barzee, accompanied on the violin by Cook. Sev eral times songs have been announced, but have not been given. Therefore when Barzee showed his courage by singing a song, and a good one at that, he received ringing applause. Mr. Greene gave a very interesting talk on life at Harvard. He showed a number of pic tures. Rod his talk was well received. The debate, "Resolved, That the United States Should Have a Larger Navy.' was decided In the affirmative, although the exponents of the negative. Hammond and Mills, made a very good fight. Brad ford and Ross spoke in the affirma tive. The Phrenodlkens' programme of Oc tober 16 was well prepared. The first number was a reading from Mark Twain by Emma Chrlstensen. The Impromptu debate created much amusement, the subject being, "Resolved, That the New Fall Fashions Are Too Extreme." Miss Mathiot, on the affirmative, presented a witty argument, but Miss Drew, on the negative, won the decision. Ruth Owen recited "The Legend of the Organ Builder." The feeling caused by its pathos was relieved by the humorous parody with which she responded to the encore. Following came the critic's re port, which closed the programme. Eight new members were initiated at the "At Home" at Miss Clair's Satur day. They are the Misses Downing, Plttenger. Courtney. Ewing, Goodall, Nelson. Fatland and Joy.

Besides Large Amount Spent for Paving, Auditor's Report Shows' Many Other Extensions. Street Improvements costing C 000.000 will be the record for 1908, according to figures secured from the office of City Auditor Barbur yesterday. This is by far the greatest progress in this line of work In the history of the city, and clearly demonstrates that Portland has not no ticed the recent so-called panto to any appreciable extent, at least in so far as improvement work is concerned. This does not Include the Immense sums laid out for sewers, water mains and other improvements ordered by the city. The bonded Indebtedness of the city De cember 31. 1S07. was $849,701, and sold to September 1. 1908, t672.23S, making a total of Jl.621,938. Of this sum the city has redeemed to date $136,868, leaving a bal ance of bonded Indebtedness of ft.S85.070. Auditor Barbur predicts that before Janu ary 31. 1908, the city will have sold a total of $1,000,000 of Improvement bonds. "The progress of street Improvements In Portland Is one of the most encourag ing signs of our prosperity," said Auditor Barbur. "The big sums expended this year for this class of work Indicate that the city has not felt to any noticeable de gree the recent money shortage. All rec ords for street work have been broken, and there Is every reason for the citizens to feel encouraged. When It is considered that so much money has been paid out. It shows that labor haa been very plen tiful and that wages have been good and conditions in general excellent." Owing to the exceptionally large amount of street Improvements that have been made this year, the street committees of the City Council and the Executive Board have been busier than any other committee of either body. ' There is a constant grind of street con tracts, mostly hard-surface, either bltulithlc or asphalt This year has also witnessed the introduction of the Hassam hard-surface pavement into Port land, and It Is receiving much attention. Because of the great amount of im provement work being done, and the large number of separate contracts under way. there has been the moat pressing demands upon the office of City Engineer Taylor. He and his forces have been unusually busy, and it has been with much diffi culty that the progress of tha work has been facilitated. Dr. Q. B. Pratt to Speak. The men's meeting at the Y. M.
