PUT 30 IN COUNCIL
New Charter Board Favors
More Numerous Body.
WOULD KEEP CITY BOARDS
o Kadical Change From Present
System of City Government Pro
posed "by Committee at
Its First Session.
More Councilmen. instead of fewer;
retention of the Executive Board and
the other city boards, and no pay for
Councilmen, are some of the features
discussed by the new charter board
of seven members, at Its first session
yesterday morning. That the commit
tee will not reccommend anything so
radical or out of the ordinary as the
committee of 15 did. seems certain.
There was no indication of anything
very startlingly new for a proposed char
ter during the meeting. The commit
tee Is not even in favor of abolishing
the ward system of representation.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, when the
committee on Judiciary, public improve
ments and finance will report. P. I.
Willis was chosen as president and C
F. Wiegand. Deputy City Auditor, as
secretary. He served the other char
ter committee In that capacity.
City Treasurer Werleln Is the sole
member of the committee who favors
a different system of city govern
ment. He made a strong argument for
some other plan than the present one,
with all of its boards and commissions.
Its numerous red-tape machinery, but
he was outvoted and cannot hope to
secure any such concessions from his
colleagues, as they are opposed to any
change from the present municipal
plan of government. They all oppose
the commission scheme, whtch Is the
basis for the proposed draft submitted
to the Council last week by the com
mittee of 15 taxpayers.
While it is yet too early to state de
finitely as to what the new committee
will recommend. It Is already regarded
as certain that the body will not pro
pose to eliminate any board or commis
sion, or seek to lessen the number of
officeholders; In fact, it seems that
there will be more offices. There are
but 15 Councilmen now, ten from wards
and five at large, but it was suggested
by some of the members of the com
mittee that It might be wise to increase
the number of Councilmen to perhaps
as many as 30; it was thought that 20
councilmen. or about that many, might
serve the people more capably than ten
would. If the number was Increased,
It was Intimated, the committee will
recommend that they serve without pay.
although this does not meet with unan
imous approval. Some of the members
feel that the Councilmen should receive
t least fair compensation for their
services.
In all of Ks deliberations. It Is quite
certain the committee will keep to the
policy of striking a golden medium be
tween the present charter and the one
proposed by the committee of 15. In an
ndeavor to tone down the radical Ideas
embodied in the proposed draft, and to
cure alleged defects In the present char
ter.
News Notes of Portland
High Schools
Xilncoln.
THE Athletic Association of the
Lincoln High School met Thurs
day after school. In addition to he
reception of some 40 new members, the
principal business was to fill several
vacancies in the management. Everett
Peterson was unanimously chosen foot
ball manager. Sam Holden was elected
track manager. Both are prominent
in school athletics, Peterson being on
the season's basketball squad, and Mr.
Holden having played "sub" on the
football team. Jay Gunnell, Fred Gets
pach and Ernest Vosper were elected
to the board of directors of the asso
ciation. It was voted that the Lincoln High
join with the other members of the
Interscholastic League in idding ten
nis as a league sport. With such a
well-known player as Kenneth McAl
pln to lead off. we ought to make a
good showing among our competitors.
The second assembly of the te.-m wts
held Friday afternoon. Messrs. H. C.
Campbell, of the Board of Ed'ical i ,n,
and Tom Richardson, of the Commer
cial Club, gave short addresses, allow
ing the students how they might as
sist in the movement for a greater
Portland. Kenneth McAlpIn, taking
advantage of the enthusiasm aroused
by the previous speaker, got in a
good word for the basketball game that
immediately followed at the Portland
Aildemy.
The event of the week was the bas
ketball championship game Friday aft
ernoon between the Lincoln High and
Columbia at the P. A. gymnasium. The
societies adjourned, that their mem
bers might attend. The large crowd
present showed how great an Interest
has been worked up In this Winter
sport among the preparatory "rd high
schools. The ensuing defeat of Colum
bia gave the pennant to Lincoln High,
as the team had already defeated the
Washington High. Allen Preparatory
and Portland Academy. This happy
consummation is due to hard work of
the squad, to Coach Hathaw.ny's skill
ful coaching, and the kindness of .he
Portland Academy authorities in al
lowing us the use of their gymnasium
as a place to practice. The squad will
probably take a trip. When the sched
ule is arranged, it will be announced.
"Washington.
ONE of the biggest treats the Wash
ington High School students have
ever had was the address last Monday
morning by Professor George Wharton
James. An assembly was called the first
thing in the morning and Principal Herd
man introduced Rev. Clarence True Wil
son, who made a short speech introduc
ing Professor James. As soon as Pro
fessor James began to talk everyone
began to sit up and take notice. The
speaker made a few opening remarks
that set everyone in a roar of laughter,
and before he had gone far with ht
speech everyone was in rare good humor.
No speaker has ever appeared before the
school who seemed to have euch a way of
making friendB with his audience and
understanding his hearers so well. In
fact after he had begun to speak, even
those who are usually Inattentive, were
listening with both ears.
The talk was for the most part on the
Great American Desert, the Salton Bea
and ofher objects of interest In Southern
California, Nevada and places in that

region. Nothing could be more Interest
ing than Professor James' description of
the traveling mountains of the desert or
of the curious springs of water which he
has examined. The many stories of his
Investigations and explorations were so
interesting and pleasing that when he
had finished his talk the students arose
and demanded that he be allowed to con
tinue his talk. Seeing how anxious all
were not to get back to their teachers,
Mr. James proceeded with his stories,
and It was not until he had spoken for
some time over a 45-minute period that
he ' broke away from his admiring
hearers.
The whole talk had been scientific and
Intensely interesting. Every one honestly
felt that the first period had never been
so well spent in the whole history of the
school.
As the dedication of the school was to
take place Friday, the Eukrineons held a
special meeting Thursday for the purpose
of electing their officers for the term.
No surprise was expressed when Earl
Robinson was elected president, for this
had been predicted by every one. Marshal
Nisbet was elected vice-president. Henry
Bauer was re-elected secretary. Edward
C. Garcia was elected treasurer. The fa
mous B. S. Houck was elected Sergeant-at-arm.
. It' te being whispered around
that B. 8. stands for baseball shark, al
though some claim that the B. stands
for Byron. I Stande Mills, the funny
man of the recent minstrel show, was
elected editor of the Society, and Lloyd
Barzee was elected critic.
The Qulllers also elected their officers
Thursday. As W. Homer Marls seemed
to have given much satisfaction as pres
ident and exalted ruler of the society,
he was re-elected, while Mary C. Davies
was re-elected vice-president for the same
reason. Bessie McGaw was elected sec
retary and treasurer. As the Qulllers
wanted the best possible person for their
editor, Edward C. Garcia was promptly
boosted into tnai onii-.
On Friday the school was dedicated in
honor of George Washington, the exer
cises taking place In the assembly hall.
The opening number was the singing of
"America" by the school. The speaker
was Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, president of
the Portland Commercial Club. By some
misunderstanding Dr. Wetherbee had
only 15 minutes' notice for his address,
but he made a splendid talk Just the
same. Next Principal Herdman made a
short speech, asking every one to see
that the school be known hereafter as
the Washington High School. The schoo
