ing. Annual graduating exercises will
be held in the auditorium of the First
Baptist Church on Wednesday, with
the annual alumni banquet in the even
ing. There are 25 graduates from Mc
Minnville College in all departments
this year. There are 15 in the commercial,-
conservatory and other short
courses, and 10 in the classical and
scientific courses, or the regular four
year term. Members of the class who

The Jacnbs-Stine Company has awarded
the contract for grading: the streets of
Argyle Park and Wellesley Heights, at
the end of the Rose City carline. to
Joplln & Meeks. This single contract
calls for the removal of 2R.noo cubic yards
In Wellesley Park and 15,000 in Argyle
Park. The contracting firm will use an
elevated grader drawn by a 16-horse-powrr
traction engine, which will handle
between RhO anil inm cubic yards dally.
The contract Is one of the most ex
tensive of the kind let nn the East Side
for some time. It is expected that the
Rose City carline will be extended
through these tracts this year, bringing
them closer to the center of business.
The Intention is to take over the Sandy
road from East Twenty-eighth street
from the county and make it a street.
Measures to bring this about have been
started and have progressed far enough
to b advertised. That the Sandy road
should bo a wide street is considered of
Importance to the development and prog
ress of tho whole of fhe Rose City dis
trict, as the Sandy road is the main
thoroughfare Into the city from that
section. It Is also desired to start pro
ceedings for a hard-surface pavement. It
will mean another well paved thorough
fare into Portland. Besides the Country
dub there is a great district depending
on the Sandy road. Homes are being
erected in Rose City Park, Rossmere,
Alameda. Wlberg Heights and other
parts of tills district, and extensive street
grading contracts have been let In many
of the newer additions.
A movement will be started at once to
get some disposition of the East Twenty-eighth-street
bridge across Sullivan's
Gulch. Residents of the north side of
Sullivan"s Gulch want the bridge thrown
open to the public as soon as it can
be done to give them access to the Rose
City carline. There is a big growth of
homes north of fhe gulch and these all
want the bridge. The Holladay Addition
Push Club has taken up the matter with
the authorities through a committee. The
Irvlngton Improvement Association will
also hold a meeting this month and take
action on the matter. An open bridge
at East Twenty-eighth street is con
sidered essential to that entire section.
The school district has secured a block
of ground in the Rose City, district, and
will erect a modern building there, prob
ably this year. Need of a schoolhouse
for this great section Is pressing.
The Alameda Park improvements are
being crowded forward and all the grad
ing will be finished by July 1. The laying
of water mains and cement walks and
curbs is well under way, which will be
followed by the laying of gas mains and
hard-surface pavements.
The Monarch Lumber Company, which
Is erecting a sawmill on the Lower
Peninsula, will have one of the largest
mills on the Coast. The smaller sawmill
has been completed and lumber is now
being sawed out for the large mill. Con
crete work for the dry kilns is com
pleted and rapid progress will be made
on trie mill. When completed this mill
will. It Is said, furnish employment to
tort men.

MR. AND MRS. JOHN STALDBR.
HILLSBOKO, Or., June 12. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. John Stalder.
for 33 years residents of Washington County, celebrated their golden
wedding at the German Baptist Church, Bethany, nine miles north
west of this city, last Sunday. Over 200 guests were present. All
their children, seven daughters and three sons, were in attendance,
and of their 65 grandchildren, 50 were present. Three great grand
children were also there. The wedding march was played by Miss Net
tle Johnson, a granddaughter, and a programme was given by the
members of the family, chief of which was a paper by Mrs. Stalder,
relating the 50 years of her wedded life. The party enjoyed lunch
eon in the church dining-room. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stalder were born
in Switzerland, and they came to America and settled at Bethany 33
years ago. Mr. Stalder is 80 years old, and his bride of 50 years ago
is 73. Both enjoy good health.
cial.) Sheriff Russell returned yester
day from Los Angeles with Charles
Wimhurst. alias Charles Harrington,
who is wanted in this county upon the
charge of forgery. Wimhurst, about a
year ago, is said to have forged several
checks on the business men of this city
and, being too closely followed by the
Sherlff, crossed the line into Siskiyou
County, where, it is said, he began oper
ations anew.
He was caught and committed to the
Asylum for the Insane on July 1, 1908,
and on March 4 was discharged as be
ing a cured man. After leaving tho
asylum he drifted down to Long Beach,
near Los Angeles, about the first of the
ypar, where he had secured employment
in a hotel. His conduct while in Los
Angeles, it is alleged, was along the same
lines.
When he was in Oregon he posed as a
real estate dealer and operated among
the farmers in this county. It is alleged
that he passed a $300 check at Oregon
City for which the Pinkerton detectives
have attempted to ferret him out. After
the Oregon authorities are through with
him, he will have to face certain Cali
fornia cases. He has been an inmafe of
the Oregon Penitentiary four different
times.

cept the place for so small a figure. To
the end that a better rate of pay may be
established, the people having voted down
the propositions carrying larger wages, it
is said that a movement is soon to be
started to induce the Realty Board,
Chamber of Commerce and perhaps otlfer
organizations to combine and make up
enough to insure the next head of the
engineering department at least double
the amount paid by the city.
The first, and thus far the only, man
spoken of for the position of City Engi
neer is Charles W. Wanzer. at present
deputy in the office. However, it is
said that he flatly refuses to consider the
position at so small a salary as is paid
by the city. It is a position requiring
endless toil, great responsibility and is
one of the most difficult to fill of any of-
nce in the gift of the city. It is through
this office that the tremendous volume of
street improvement work, sewers and all
similar business must be handled, and so
rapidly has the work increased that it
has overwhelmed the force now employed.
There were two proposition before the
electorate at the last general election, one
being in the proposed commission plan
charter, fixing the salary of the City En
gineer at $4500 a year; the other was sub
mitted by the City Council through a
committee of seven, giving the Council
authority to fix the salary at "not less
than $200 a month." This, of course,
would have made it possible for the Coun
cil to pay a man whatever salary he
might be able to command by his ability
for the position, but both were decidedly
beaten at the polls.
The salary of the City Attorney is like
wise $200 a month, and it is rumored that
City Attorney Kavinaugh is greatly dis
appointed because the people did not see
fit to increase his pay by giving the Coun
cil the right to fix the rate of pay, as
proposed by the committee of seven. He
says he feels that his work is worth far
more, but he also says that, in his opin
ion, the general public does not fully real
ize what an immense amount of work is
transacted by his office. He is obliged to
pay office rent out of his salary.
There is much speculation as to who
will be named by Mayor-elect Simon for
the responsible positions at his disposal.
He will assume the duties of office July 1,
and will have many appointments to
maKe, including a Health Officer. Chief
of Police, City Engineer, a Board of
Health, composed of three members- nu
merous deputies and inspectors and an
Executive Board of ten members. He
also has the appointment of all the City
Council committees.
Speculation is rife as to who will be the
next president of the Council. At the
first session of the body after July 1 a
successor to Councilman Rushlight ' as
president will be elected. Mr. Rushlight
Is serving a term of one year in that ca
pacity. Councilman Baker is more gen
erally spoken of for the position than any
other member "

ALBANY, Or, June 11. (Special.)
Each member of the Woman's Mission
ary Society of the Firsr Presbyterian
Church of this city must earn a dollar
by her own personal labor some time
this month to contribute to the society.
Some of the richest and most promi
nent women in Albany are doing un
wonted work, therefore, to make the
unique contribution.
The rule f the society for this
month's contribution is that the money
cannot be taken from the ordinary ir.
come of the members or secured from
their husbands or any member of their
family unless It is save! by doing work
for which money is ordinarily paid cut.
It must be earned by actual work for
outsiders, and the plan is throwing
some interesting sociological sidelights
on now women who do not need to
work lor a living earn money when
put face to face with an unprecedented
condition.
The society will hold an "experience
meeting" early next month, and the
members will then be required to tell
how they earned their contributions.
How some of the women are earnirg
the dollars has already leaked out.
Mrs. William Bain, wife of the president
of the Albany State Bank, Is baking bread
ana selling n to her neighbors at 5 cents
a loaf. Mrs. Alfred C. Schmitt, wife of
the cashier of the First National Bank of
Albany, is taking subscriptions for a
magazine and will use her commissions
to provide her dollar. Mrs. H. N. Cocker-line,-
wife of a general agent of the North
western Life Insurance Company, will
wash windows for a neighbor to earn her
dollar, and Mrs. H. M. Crooks, wife of
the president of Albany College, will do
her own washing one week and save her
contribution that way.
Mrs. J. N. Duncan, wife of the County
Judge of Linn County, will act as secre
tary of a local lodge for a month to
secure her contribution. Her husband is
secretary of the lodge but she will do all
the work for a month to earn the money
under the rule of the society. Mrs. J. T.
Watson, whose husband is one of the
owners of Watson Bros." Iron Works,
will pick and sell some fruit for a
dollar.
Mrs. Frank J. Miller, whose husband
is secretary of the Albany Iron Works
and also State Senator from Linn and
Lane -Counties, will rent a room the com
ing session of the State Teachers' Asso
ciation and give the proceeds to the so
ciety. Mrs. George Taylor, whose hus
band is a member of the firm of Ohling
& Taylor, prominent local merchants, will
also rent a room during the teachers' con
vention, and Mrs. Dr. F. H. Geselbracht,
wife of the pastor of the First Presby
terian Church, will serve meals to some
teacher during the convention.
A number of other prominent members
of the society are devising ways to earn
their dollar and it is expected that some
interesting experiences will be related at
the meeting next month.

The reunion will be preceded by a ban
quet at the M. E. Church at 6 P. M.
The alumni hold annual reunions, but
this is the first attempt in many years
to get the old students together, and
Mr. Moores, who has charge of the af
fair, has met with a most enthusiastic
response. Letters have been received
from a large number of the early stu
dents of the historic old school, many of
wnom will be present to meet their
friends of the early days. -Dr. F. S. Hoyt,
who was president of Willamette from
1850 to 1861, and who is still actively en

writes that he probably will not be able
to be present, although he will make
every effort to come. Mrs. Emily J.
York Moore, the first graduate of, the
university, with the class of '59, will
attend the reunion. Many others who
obtained their education at the old school
in the early days, have written warmly
to commend the plan of getting the old
students together and to promise to at
tend If possible.
The committee in charge of the work
of sending out the invitations has been
somewhat handicapped, owing to the
fact that there is not a complete file
of the early catalogues of the university,
and the postoffice addresses of many of
the old students cannot be secured.

EAST
SOON TO BE THE COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL CENTER OF THE PENINSULA
The following is an abstract from a letter, dated June 5, 1909, from
T. L. Davis, cashier First National Bank, Omaha:
"The packing plants of Armour, Cudahy, Swift and the National
Packing Co. are located in South Omaha, about five miles from the center
of Omaha. They have practically built up the city of South Omaha, ,
which now has between 40,000 and 50,000 inhabitants. They have brought
a big industry here and have created one of the largest cash markets
in the country."
This is the ONE addition that is assured of immediate
progress. An $18,000 school has been started, several
new stores are open, and more will be started soon;
many houses are completed, and a score more will be
erected very soon; a planing mill is in operation, and
many factories will be established within a year. EAST
ST. JOHNS is only two blocks from the North Bank
depot, the only one on the peninsula, and is over 2000
feet nearer the SWIFT PLANT and MONARCH
LUMBER MILL than the Swift townsite. Many in
quiries are being made for houses, and those who build
. will find no difficulty in either renting or selling.
