The Shattuck School, again brought to prominence by the work which has been started on the erection of a new Shattuck School building, has a history which had been closely associated with the development of Portland and has graduated many of the prominent citi zens of this city. Tho first Shattuck School building, called at that time tho 1 larrison School, was erected in 18tfr, on Harrison street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, at a cost of Jf941. It was a two-story struc ture of three rooms. The building was later added to, an addition being erect ed at a cost of $4l;i5 in 1S71. It was further enlarged to a 11-room building, at a cost of J5841, in 1S77. thus maktns the total cost amount to the sum of r:o.T77. Fire destroyed Iho entire building on May 29. 187:, and it was rebuilt im mediately at a cost of Sl'l.hOO. The structure was partially destroyed by fire September 6, 1KS7, and was again rebuilt. During tho rebuilding the school occupied rented rooms In van ous places besides one room in the Fail ing building and one in the high school. The Harrison-Street School annex: of II rooms was built in 1891, at a cost of ?,"!". y8. 64. In lf04 the School Board renamed the building Shattuck School, in honor of .ludire H. L. Shattuck, who had been a resident in the neighborhood for manv years, a member of the School Board at one time, a teacher himself in the early days of Oregon, and always interested In school work. The latest addition to the old build ing was made in 1910. when a manual training shop was erected on the south west corner of he block, at a cost ot l-'O0. At the annual meeting of 1913 a suf ficient lax was voted by the taxpayers to buy a new location and build a new Shattuck School. Block 198, Portland, bounded by I'ark, Hall. Broadway and College streets, was purchased at a net cost of $124,633.70 for the lo cation ot the structure. A ftreprooc. fftcel and concrete, brick-faced building of -1 rooms was contracted for at an estimated cost of $170,000, and is now In the process 0f construction. The cornerstone of the new building laid with appropriate ceremonies Friday. It is expected that the struc ture will be completed In time for the opening of the Fall term of school this year.

When Mrs. Cramer discovered the man she opened the window and called to him. asking him if he didn't have enough flowers.

He has been a prominent member of the Auto mobile Club, the dealer.,- association and arious other civic organizations He came here in September 1911 after several years of successful endeavor In the automobile field in California and Arizona. He first entered the service of the Howard organization nine years ago as a salesman in the San Francisco office. In January, 1909. he went to Los Angeles and opened the branch of fice there.

OREGOXIAX. rORTLAXD, THE OAKS IS OPEN WITH USUAL RAIN Abundant Bloom of Roses Wel comes Visitors to Park Full of Features. TIPS UNKNOWN TO RESORT Mystic ltlver Hide Anion; Xew Amusements Tracks for Hall road Being Laid and Subma rine Will Arrive Soon. Despite all the weather man's prom ises to the contrary, Jupiter Pluvius yesterday decided he would break no precedents for the opening of the Oaks Amusement Bark. Yes, it was wet again and for the fifth year in succession. s But, after all, it was one of these now-lt-is, now-it-isn't kind of showery days, and in between the rain drops quit a fair-sized crowd by car, launch and automobile wandered out "to the resort. They found all number of new things on the concession trail. They found a band, described by many as the best The Oaks has ever offered. They found an unusually clever musical entertain ment. Roars Abundant In Bloom. But. after all. it was the lovers of the beautiful who were most amazed, for it is safe to say the roses and flower-beds at the park are 10 days ahead of anywhere else in the city. Kvery- rosebed is a. mass of variously huod blooms and the sight is one that arouses admiration. Authorities on rose culture declare that the careful at tention, but. above all, the tepid river waterfor sprinkling purposes, is what turns the trick. Despite the day. the picnicker and his wife likewise his family and friends were out in force and the maid who presides over the pots and pans (yes. .and actually refuses tips) in the free electric kitchen, found her hands full, cleaning up. Talking of tipping, there is a whole sonic cleaning up along these lines all over The Oakes, In the skating rink, for instance. No longer does the skater or his friends have to pay for admis sion; no longer can you pay to check your wraps and no longer dare you tip the attendants who attach- the skates. Job Gone If Tip In Taken. "A single tip to any employe in The Oaks will cost that employe his Job. That Is final," commented Manager Cordray. "1 don't care who is to blame the tipper or the tlppeo but one tip means one job." Whereat there will be much rejoic ing. Outside of the amusement features, the most interest centered round the Mystic River, the new water ride. You race along in foaming rapids and over rock-strewn cascades: you see yourself apparently struggling for life in the water (an unusual mirror effect) ; you dash under water-falls a'nd through flower-lined canyons, and. let It be told in a whisper, there are dark, yes, dark places galore in the course of the half mile trip. The water Is fresh spring water, ob tained from a well dug for the purpose. It is changing every minute. Ho all the old traditions of odorous river rides are abolished in an instant. Submarine to Arrive Saan, They are getting ready for a sub marine out at The Oaks, which will be there in a week or two, and are beginning to lay tracks for the new steam railroad. There is a mammoth telescope, which Mr. Cordray swears brings the sun and moon and stars closer than Mount Hood. There is Punch and Judy with its perpetual fas. cination for the kiddles. Then in the open-air auditorium, D. P. Nason and his concert band gave a concert that actually brought repeated encores. Popular airs were mingled with classical ones In a manner that gave the restless foot barely a chance to settle down. The music had a punch and a spirit rarely seen in bands at The Oaks. In a word, it made good. There was a beautiful singer, whose name was not announced. The Boston Troubadours were composed of about 20 pretty girls in late musical hits, laced up deftly into a musical comedy, and oh yes there were two tr three comedians that did not make one hate the thought of comedy. Complete pro grammes are announced for every line day at 2:30 and 8:30 P. M. Yes, The Oaks is open. It Is not too much to say that it offers a better time than ever. Automobile Crashes Into lolo. An automobile piloted by Bruce Bailey was driven into a telephone pole at Fourteenth and Taylor streets yes terday at noon and one wheel broken. Bailey was alone in the machine and was not hurt. He lives at 170 Ford street. 1'ltlMV IIO.WA OK" M KTR1I--11,ITAX l't-:U KIM1-A.N I t'OMIXi TO K.IIIMtKSS. SOB' , .

The new law providing for the col lection of- vital statistics of the state by district health officers under the direct supervision of the State Board of Health is now in effect and an at tempt is being made to get the new system into working order as soon as possible. Heretofore the report to the State Board of Health were made by the county and city health officers. This system, however, was considered to be unsatisfactory in that those offi cers were not directly under the Slate Board. I Dr. Calvin S.

That the play was a hit far exceed ing the success of " The Toastniaster," given by the club last January, was conceded by all. The audience was large as well as enthusiastic. Probably a great measure of the suc cess of the evening was due to Kalslon J. Clary, manager of the play, v ho also portrayed the title role. There was only one somewhat embarrassing hitch in the dialogue.
