LIBRARIES SUPPLY BOOKS Reference Works Famished and Systematic Course Carried Out. Essays to Be Exchanged Among Yariou Granges. Some of th Granites In the state. In tudving the educational programme, pro vided by State lecturer J. J. Johnson, of Portland, have been reluctant about ap plying for literature from the. state libra rian. Misa Cornelia Marvin, for the rea son that the rules Yeojulred the reference literature to be distlbuted and returned In no ahort a time, even before the meeting of the Grange. To obviate this and to render tlie work more simple and practi cal. Miss Marvin will hereafter allow each Grange to have two libraries at a meeting, one for the subjects of the meet ing, the material for which should be collected at the meeting and returned to the Library Commission the next day. and one set to be distributed for the next meeting. The second library for the pro gramme aliead will be sent Just as soon as the first et Is returned, so that It will be In the hands of the lecturer sev eral days before the meeting at which topics are t be assigned and the mate rial distributed. This. It Is expected, will do away with carrying the pieces of lit erature about and mailing them through out the district. Public School Study. In connection with the educational pro gramme an important place has been as signed the public schools, especially the rural schools, and they are being studied from all viewpoints. State Superintend ent J 11. Ackemian and Mus Cornelia Marvin, state librarian, have prepared outlines with references covering all the topics in the programme for general use In studying the topics. The first topic under this head Is -Greatest Present Needs of the Country School Educational R'ghts of the Country Child." This topic Is to be studied to best advantage under the following outline and by the refer ences given by the state librarian: rir,t Rural school conditions In Oregon, contrasted with cl:y school conditions: sug gested remedies in general, and enrichment ef the course. . .

School Measure Criticised. Literature covering the topics are sup plied granges outside of Multnomah County mainly from the State IJbrary. but In Multnomah County the Portland Hbrarv Is furnishing the references. The subject of the public schools at present, is particularly Important, as measures af thm a i 1 1 come ud At the present session of the legislature, some of which . .... t.. i .. , T? Ttlm. are Deing cruiciseu. juukq Ick. of Clackamas County. In his address before the Clackamas County Pomona Grange at Oswego. Wednesday, declared: "I am not In favor oi me measure moi he establishment of a board In each county to which each dis trict must come for Its teachers. This measure will take away from tbe districts : ... iet end hire their own teaches. These local directors are the ones who understand the local oonaiuons, and know better than anybody else what sort of teachers they want, while the pro posed board may have no Information at all about local conditions." The purpose of the study of the rural schools aho has taken a wide direction. and the question Is being asuea onau agriculture be taught in the rutal schools?" On this question there Is dif ference of opinion among the farmers. i itni i. heinr debated at meet ings. State Lecturer Johnson desires that all essays on these topics be sent to him at his Portland omce as eany nlent, so the papers may be forwarded to other Granges In the state to be used by them, thus affording an exchange of opinions, BARON SCHLENK FUNERAL Remains Put In Vault to .Await Burial I-ater. The funeral of the late John Schlenk, better known as the "Baron." took place from St. Marys Cathedral at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and was attended by a large gathering of the friends who sin cerely mourn his loss. Rev. IT. J. Mc Devltt preached the obituary sermon and his glowing tribute to the good qualities of the dead man moved many of the mourners to tears. The pall-bearers were: Henry V. Grif fin. J. Moffat. August Kratz. Fritx Stroe be), George Febvet and Gustave Min singer, all lifelong friends. Owing to the Impassability of the Barnes Heights road, leading to Mt. Cal vary Cemetery, where It had originally been planned to bury Mr. Schlenk. It was decided to postpone the burial until later. A vault has been secured at the Portland Crematorium and the remaines sealed In this repository, for the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church, of which the de ceased was a member, forbids cremation. A large body of members of the Portland Ixidge. No. 142. B. O. P. Elks, attended the funeral and the lodge sent a hand some floral piece. Similar marks of es teem were sent by the many friends of the late caterer. SCIENTISTS NAME READERS II. C. Van Meter to Occupy First Place at First Church.

Mayor and Executive Board Unable to Announce When Xew Contract Will Be Entered Into for City Lighting. Htow long will Mayor Lane and his Executive Board of seven members permit the temporary lighting: arrange ment now in vogue to continue? This question Is agitating; the public at large at this time particularly because, while the arrangement continues, no new lights will be Installed, and the distributing system Is therefore not being extended In any direction. This leaves the suburban districts In dark ness until such time as there is a way devised whereby the city may have a contract with the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, or a compe titor, or for the municipality to take over the present system or put In one of Its own. ' , "It Is a matter that I am not ready to take up." was all Mayor Lane had to say about 'the question, when he was seen yesterday morning. One thins, Is certain the present ar rangement Is very unsatisfactory to residents In outlying -districts, where arc lamps have been urgently sought for many months. There are now 100 applications on the desk of President Josselyn, of the lighting company, for arc lamps in various sections of the city, and not one will be installed until such time as the city enters into some contract or finds some way to get extensions from the company or put in lamps under city authority. if Portland, which is growms very fast, must wait a year or two for re lief, it Is said that it will work a great Injustice to people living in suDuroan districts, where there are few. if any. lamps, as none can be Installed under existing circumstances. The company will not extend the system any until the city awards a contract sufficient to warrant the outlay of capital, ana at this time it looks as though there will be no new lamps for six months a year, if not longer. Mayor Lane has been demanding municipal ownership of the city dis tributing system for iignting, dui as yet he has taken no steps toward se curing such, and apparently has not given the matter much thought. Mean while, the city is being lighted by the month, paid In advance, under a stipu lation entered Into between the Mayor and the Executive Board and the offi cers of the company, by which no new lamps are installed. Another feature of the present situa tion is that Mayor Lane and the mem bers of the Executive Board ore paying for lights the same rate as paid under the expired contract. This they are al lowing without disputing any portion thereof, although, for eight months past thev withheld nine twenty-fifths of the monthly claims. The lights are no better now, however, than formerly. The city charter prescribes the man ner of procedure to be followedxln tak ing over plants owned by public-service corporations or in installing new municipal plants, and the first thing that must be done, under this pro vision, is to put the matter before the people at a general election. No steps in this direction have as yet been taken, and Mayor Ijine saJd yesterday morning that he did not know what will be done about it. Woodstock Push Club to Meet. At a meeting of the Woodstock Push Club, to be held friday night, in the Woodstock Hall, officers will be elected for the ensuing year and plans outlined for the. work of the organization. The special committees appointed at the last meeting will render reports' on their in vestigations. These cover improvement In the mall service, water mains to con nect with the city water department, street and streetcar Improvements, and the question of consolidating with other push clubs in the district. The meeting will be called to order at S o'clock by Ben Reisland. Residents of Woodstock are urged to attend and participate In the proceedings. Prescriptions filled at Eyssell's. 2X3 Morrison, between Fourth and Fifth.

AX- Vessel Driven by Swift Current of River Plunges Broadside On Against Draw-Span. Driven by the swift current In the Willamette River, the schooner North erner smashed the Madison-street brldgre at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, knocking out two piers of the draw rest and tearing away 20 feet of side walk from the bridge. Traffic was in terrupted until 1 o'clock as a result of the collision. The big- schooner, it is said, was drifting sideways In the swift current. The draw was almost open to permit the vessel to pass through, but It was evidently difficult to handle the vessel and she crashed against the draw rest. Two piers were knocked out and chain on board the vessel in some way became fastened to the sidewalk of the bridge on the west end of the draw. Twenty feet of the sidewalk was torn away before the crew regained control of the schooner and ' stopped further damage. . LIGHT FRANCHISE SECURED Welsh and Associates to Operate Plant at CentraHa.
