S TABLE: AND HAMMERED METAL. The Woodstock School entertained the parents and teachers with a recep tion and class work exhibition from 2 to 4 o'clock Thursday. The manual training and garden exhibits were the principal displays. Hard and soft wood, brass and copper articles were shown. Clever juvenile workmanship was reflected in the execution of trinkets and pieces of furniture. The manual training department has grown since the last year so that two new rooms had to be added. The work of more than 230 boys made an excellent collection. M. O. Steele, head of the department, said this term's work was better than ever before. The gardening department consisted of 162 home gardens and 99 school gardens. This work is under the direction of Miss Jennie Richardson. A spirit of competition has stimulated the work to 4 high degree of efficiency. This department is practically a new addition and the pupils have shown keen interest and pleasure in the work. All the past week the Woodstock Branch Library has been the scene of the academic exhibits of the school. LABOR ISINDEMAND Skilled and Semi-Skilled Work ers Being Taken. FARMERS ARE IN MARKET Railroad Work and Paving Will Employ Many, but While Un skilled Force Is Below Xormal, Supply Is Ample for Needs. Semi-skilled labor will be in steady demand in Oregon and other parts of the Northwest during the next few months, but unskilled labor will con tinue to be more or less of a drug on the market. Logging camps, lumber mills and farmers are beginning to seek compe tent hands to assist them in their work during July and August and near ly all who are willing and able, to work in these capacities will have employ ment for two months at least, it is believed. A general demand has arisen in all parts of the Northwest for berrypickers. Many women and children" are em ployed in the berry fields. Farmers an ticipate little trouble in getting enough hel p. The harvest demand has not yet - 1 : t v 7 -l IVA --; v v V made itself felt, but come of the bis ranch owners are beginning to Inquire around among the employment agen cies. Then there is a lively movement amonsr farmers and land owners for employes of a more stable nature. They are asking for men to e'ear land and to perform regular farm work, such as dairying, teaming and harvesting work that will require a man's time the year around. Unskilled Men Fewer. While the demand for unskilled work is not so brisk .his year as in some former years, the available supply of labor is not as heavy, either. Thou sands of laborers seem to have left the Northwest in the last two or three years, during which railroad construc tion activity has been suspended. It is said, too, that many foreign laborers also have drifted away, some of them going home to fight. Whatever the causes, it is a fact that the labor supply is not very heavy Just now, but it Is apparent that it is heavy enough to meet all present and pros pective demands. Laboring -men have been told to avoid Portland for the Summer. A number of construction Jobs are in progress or are about to be started, but all the men that will bo required for this work already have offered their services. Contractors on the road improvement work, for which contracts were let last week, report that they have all the men that they need. It Is estimated that approximately 2000 men will be em ployed on this work before the Summer is over. Railroad Work Opens. Twohy Bros, have taken a small force to Hastern Oregon to work on the new terminals at Pilot Rock Junction. An other small force will be employed on the O.-W. R. & N. terminals at The Uallec. The O.-W. R. & N. Company is work ing a small force on the new cutoff between Coyote and Kcho and another force on the rebailastir.gr batween Hood River and The Dalles. One of the biggest jobs promised for the Summer, requiring a considerable number of men, is the O.-W. R. & N. Company's extension from Riverside to Crane Creek Gap in Central Oregon. The Southern Pacific plans to elec trify Us line between Whiteson and Corvallis, but not many men will be required on this work. Forces of varying size are employed on the Southern Pacific's Coos Bay line, but this labor is being supplied from Marshfield and other points in that vicinity. Local demands for labor In street Improvements and sewer construction are only normal. VANCOUVER WANTS SUNDAY Xoted Evangelist Invited to Speak on Americanization Day. VANCOUVER. Wash.. June 2C. (Spe cial.) That Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, may speak here July 4, Americanization day, -at the big com munity sing, is a possibility. He has been invited. The following telegram was sent to him today at Hood River, Or., by Clement Scott, chairman of the Fourth of July committee: "Citizens, ministers, churches of Vancouver, Wash., will participate in an open-air sacred concert and com munity sing, Iei by O.

Harri man Chosen as Oregon Rendez vous for Financier, Wlio Poses for Camera Xot Loaded. BI SHAD O. KEANTZ. He used to be a newspaper reporter, but now he's a banker, yet he looks every inch a newspaper man and not one bit like a hanker-, does Thomas W. L&mont, of the house of J. P. Morgan & Co., who visited Portland for a few minutes last night. Yes, Mr. Lamont could prove an alibi any time if accused of being a banker and especially a New York banker. He certainly doesn't look the part. The composite New York banker is a serious individual," with every ap pearance of being both impressive and important. He generally has a double chin, side whiskers and a protruding waistline. He greets the intrusive stranger with civility but with an air of self-satisfied disdain that doesn't encourage informality. Mr. Lamoot Is Different. ' . But not so with our friend. Mr. La mont. He is a different sort of a chap altogether. We had Intended to print a picture of Mr. Lamont standing up alongside of A- 13. Charlton, the assistant general passenger agent of the Northern Pa cific Railway, down at the North Bank depot, and sent one of our most effi cient little photographers down to have them "look pleasant." They did their part all right, but when the photog rapher got back he found that ''his camera was. like some of the British guns over in Flanders it lacked am munition. He had forgotten to put a plate in his plate-holder. So it becomes necessary to describe Mr. Lamont so that people of Portland will recognize him when he comes back here early in September. Yes, he is coming back. He left last night for Klamath Falls, where he has leased Pelican Lodge, the Summer home of the late E. H. Harriman. He is ac companied by Mrs. Lamont, a group of little Lamonts, and by Dr. John H. Huddleston, an eminent New York phy sician, and members of his family. Mr. Lamont Looks Only 44. As has been said before, Mr. Lamont looks more like an enterprising, hard hitting newspaper editor than like a banker. He is small in stature, but not slim-not over Ave feet eight inches and weighs probably 160 pounds. He walks with quick, brisk steps, but is not nervous or excitable. His is of florid complexion, with clear, gray eyes. He is smoothshaven and his face is without a wrinkle. He is only 44 years of age and doesn't look a day older. Last night he wore a neat brown Norfolk suit and a becoming knock about hat. He has a pleasant smile and a hearty handshake; is a good story-teller and a good listener and seems to enjoy a joke. "This is a pleasure trip altogether." he remarked, when someone started to question him about business, especially banking business, the European war and all that sort of thing. Vacation Now XJppermest. "No one knows what is going to hap pen in Europe," he continued. "If you know don't tell me, for I don't want to hear anything more about it until I get through with my vacation." Mr. Lamont admitted that he ex pects to find some fish and some game in the Klamath County wilds. 1 "You see, the members of our firm hardly ever make public statements,' he said cheerfully, when pressed for an expression about the business situa tion. He might have added tnat it was a precept laid down by the late J. P. Morgan, whose personality still seems to Influence the great banking house in which Mr. Lamont now is a partner. Partiality I Prominent. "I ought to be particularly partial to newspapermen," lie declared cheerfully, as a group of them approached him. "I still like to count myself one of them." The year after he left college he took a reportorial position on the New York Tribune. Then, as he saw the camera man ap proach around the corner of a passen ger coach, he threw his arm up in front of his face in a pretended effort to WOMAN PIONEER DEAD AT AJE OF HS VEAIIS. 8 : Mrs. ChriMtiana Monroe Wrenn. At the age of 85 years, Chris tiana Monroe Wrenn died at her old home near Centerville, Or., last Monday, June '21. The funeral was held Wednesday at Centerville and interment was In the Cornelius Cemetery. Mrs. Wrenn was born at Fort Churchill. Canada, in 1830, and in 1342 came with her father to Vancouver. Wash. She was mar ried to Michael Wrenn in 1846 at Forest Grove. Shortly after she removed to Centerville, where she made her home until the time of ' her death. Seven daughters, one son. 11 grandchildren and four great grandchildren survive. The chil ' dren are: Mrs. J. E. Wilson and Mrs. G. N. Reynolds, of Portland; Mrs. C. H. Newell, of Toppenish. Wash.;.

IlliPllliillSl Prof, Paul S. L. Johnson Here Will Drllver a Free Public Lecture Today on tbe ' Subject. "The Dlntrea of Nations the Evidence of tae Overthrow of Kataa' lijupirc," at W. O. W. Hall, East Sixth and Alder Streets, at 3 P. M. Paul S. L. Johnson is an eminent Bible exponent and a Christian Hebrew lecturer and author; was born of Jewish parentage of orthodox type, under whose strict influence he spent his boyhood days. At 14 he was learned in all the rites and customs of Judaism, when suddenly he was attracted to Christianity through a discarded Christian Bible which he chanced to find in a rubbish heap. As a result of his careful perusal of the scriptures, be was soon fully converted to the Christian faith. Persecution followed, banishment from home, and finally excommunication. Inheriting from hie illustrious line of rabbinical ancestors a brilliant mind, devout of heart and spirit, young Johnson was conscience driven to forsake Judaism for the Christian faith, regardless of persecution, excom munication and a term of menial imprisonment in a juvenile reformatory. Persistance, steadfastness, learning and oratory render him a power for good in the realm of religion. His lecture today on the above subject cannot fail to entertain and deeply interest all who attend. Seats are free. No collection. All are cordially invited. prevent the man from taking his pic ture. You see, Mr. Lamont didn't know that the camera wasn't loaded. He readilv consented to nose nrovidiner AI r. Charlton would. Mr. Charlton was there ! in his omciai capacity, as Mr. Lamont is a director of the Northern Pacific. Mrs. Charlton and Miss Charlton were there, too, and they took the Lamonts up to tbe Charlton residence on Portland Heights where they could get a good view of the distant hills. A. King Wilson,' who knew Mr. Lamont when they were students together at Harvard, took the Lamont children out for a spin in his machine. The Lamont party left last night over the Southern Pacific. Hogs Start Auto on Run. BAKER, Or., June 26. (Special.) Otis Elliott, of Hereford, left his ma chine standing in front of his home one day recently without setting the brakes. A drove of hogs pushed against the machine, setting it In mo tion. The car started down hill and crashed into the barn, caving in one side of the structure. The auto was slightly damaged. Plans Ready for Training School. MONMOUTH, Or.. June 26. (Special.) Plans were completed today for tbe new $50,000 training school building that is to be erected by the state for the use of the Normal School in train ing teachers for grade work. The archi tect's work has been approved and ground will be broken July 25. The structure will be erected on a three acre tract purchased last year. Farmers Refuse to Sell Hay. MONMOUTH. Or.. June 26. (Special.) After many efforts hay buyers in this vicinity have failed. Farmers have cut much clover and are hauling all o-f it into their own barns to feed to dairy cows this Winter. The price has risen and none is for sale. Thv acreage here comprises more grain apd - less clover this year. The crops are heavy. Benedictine Heights Lot Sold. Emile Kreillch purchased lot 11, in block 5, Benedictine Heights, from the Riverside Homestead Company for $1050. The Wellesley Land Company transferred lots 21 and 22, In block 12, Argyle Park, to Lars Logan for $550. Kate A. Regan took title to lot 3, in block 25, Errol Heights; consid eration. $82S. That's just exactly the reason I am making this desperate effort to gtay in business. I have every confidence that we are entering upon an era of good, prosperous times, but unfor tunately for me,, personally, stock holders in my firm had to have their money now, compelling me to throw our large stock of standard pianos and player pianos on the market at practically cost, and some at even below cost. I say this to the public with all sincerity and prospective piano buyers will find it well worth their while to investigate my proposi tion now. I have got to raise money and $40, 000, while not a large sum to some people, it is hard to raise it on very short notice considering the depres sion I have just passed through. I want to say frankly to the good pub lic that your money will go farther towards the purchase of a standard make piano, or player piano, with me at this time than you can receive anywhere on the Pacific Coast, tak ing quality into consideration. This house has always been a house of quality, and your personal visit will convince you of the truth of this statement. I have Sohmer pianos and player pianos, which are world renowned; Behning pianos and player pianos, known everywhere to be of the high est quality. I have the great M. Schulz Company product; the well known Chase & Baker, the Strohber, the Bennett and many others. Surely, IMf : SWEET PEA SHOW NEAR KEEN COMPETITION EXPECTED AT OREGON SOCIETY EXHIBIT.
