In response to the solicitation of representative business interests of the city, appealing for a conservative busi ness administration of the affairs of School District No. 1, and soliciting him to become a candidate for direc tor, II. B. McFaul has consented to enter the race. It was only at the urgent solicita tion of citizens and after the petitions had been circulated and were brought to him that he consented to run. Mr. McFaul is the secretary and sales man ager of the A. H. Averill Machinery Company, with whom he has been con nected since 1897, and has been a resi dent of Portland 27 years. He was for two years president of the East Side Business Men's Club, which under his direction became one of the strong commercial organizations of the city.

"It is only because of the appeal made to me to became a candidate in the interest of a business man's administration of the affairs of the school district that I have given my consent to do so. I have never been- a candidate for any office and realize that the business of District No. 1 is more important to the taxpayers than any private business in it. If the people want a straightforward, business administra tion that is the only kind that I would know anything about." The petition that brought Mr. Mc Faul before the voters in the approach ing school election was as follows: Saoe Administration Songht.

AFTER three successful concerte on as many nights, the second; an nual music festival of 1917-lS..was concluded last night. . The Public Auditorium could easily have handled larger crowds than those who came. The size of those three audi ences has been disappointing. It is yet too early to secure a definite statement of finances. It is thought that if there is even a email profit, the management will be in luck. The probability is that there is a small deficit. In one point, however, everyone that has attended the conerts is agreed: the educational influence of the music programmes- has been immense, and the money has been well spent. Choros Slsging Excellent. The one big surprise of the whole three day;' festival was the splendid concert by the chorus of 300 singing high-school students, with orchestral accompaniment of about 70 other chil dren. Here is where the music festival reached high-water mark. So much of a hit did these high school children make in their concert that the manage ment has received requests to repeat the concert at an early date at popular prices, so that people who did not take the opportunity to attend last Friday night may yet hear the children sing. - Little "new" music has been sung or played at this festival. The Coleridge Taylor "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" is a modern, but it is not exactly of our day, seeing that Jt first saw light more than one dozen "years ago. The truth is that the programme for the festival just concluded was planned in some what of a hurry. At one time it was doubted by those in charge if it were wise to have a. music festival In war time. Then the order came to "go ahead." Little time was left, and those in charge did the best they could with material that was obtainable. Cantata U Well Given. Last night the big feature of the good-bye concert was the excellent and eagerly anticipated rendition of the Goring-Thomas nature cantata, "The Swan and the Skylark," which was sung so well in this city by a festival chorus about 11 years ago. The mood of the story told by the Goring-Thomas music is of the Tennyson-Swinburne school, and has a Greek trend suggestive of Lord Byron. Thus, in the opening strain, the poet sings: A Grecian poet, I, but born too late; For me -no nymph sings from the. upland, wood Her antique song; nor in bright hurrying brook Is seen and lost her sweet illusive smile. The chorus has changed much in per sonnel since the cantata was last sung in this city, but the newcomers gave it an Intelligent reading and it did not suffer in the least. It was rather im proved. The chorus sang with willing spirit, especially in the soprano sec tion, and the enthusiasm of all the singers was highly creditable. Tea, the adult chorus more than made good it excelled. William 11- Boyer, as conductor, was admirable. Orchestra Playa Well. The four soloists. Miss Riegelman, Miss Ingram, Mr. Kingston and Mr. Tuttle, sang the solos allotted to them in the cantata- with consummate abil ity and exquisite sympathy with the text. The Portland Symphony Orchestra played entertainingly and brightly In four selections, notably the overture to the opera "Rienzl" (Wagner) and the stirring tunes in "Southern Rhap sody" (Hoimer). ; The "Serenade Ro coco" (Meyer-Helmund) found . also many admirers. ' Hr. Kingston is a tenor of the first rank and is - an all-American singer. His singing is marked by sincere ar tistry. His voice is of sparkling beau ty, he enunciates clearly, and "lives" his tongs so truly that he has no dif ficulty in imparting them to his au diences. His vocal style is impas sioned. Last night he pleased Im mensely with his solos, "Eleanore" and "Love, I Have Won You." Miss Ingram made many new friends with her exquisite songs and her charming style in singing them. Her "Invocation to Eros" and "The Mule teer" were revelations that gave much pleasure to her hearers. Miss Riegelman deepened the favor able impression she made last Friday night. Her native vivacity and whole hearted - charm lived again in all her renditions, notably in the exceedingly graceful "When Phyllis Danced" (Gll berte) and "Tarantelle." All four soloists were wisely selected by the management, and they formed the finest assets of the series of concerts. 18 GET PROMOTION Changes at 0. A. C. Ordered by Board of Regents.

Dr. Ross and wife Were divorced about four years ago by-Judge Gatens, who has modified the decree a num ber of times since, giving the custody of the daughter first to the father and then to the mother for different inter vals. A few days ago Mrs. Rtss was ar rested in company with Earl Cross man, a local bank clerk, who is suing his wife who lives at Spokane, for a divorce. Mrs. Crossman refused to ewear to a complaint charging the couple with a statutory offense with the result that the District Attorney's office preferred a misdemeanor charge, releasing the couple on their own rec ognizance. Yesterday Judge Gatens conducted a hearing when a number of witnesses testified as to the alleged improper relations between Mrs. Ross and Crossman in support of the father's contention that he should be awarded permanently the custody of the daugh ter.

Trading Stamps Kenneth Ross Looks Into Air craft Production Work in Pacific Northwest. OPTIMISM IS EXPRESSED Mo iit a nan Visits Airplane Factories Throughout Eastern States and Xow Prepares to Learn of Work in Spruce Forests. .Entirely optimistic and bringing practical knowledge and experience to bear on the problem of increasing pro duction of aircraft material to meat the ever-expanding demands of the American and allied armies. Kenneth Ross, "personal representative of John D. Ryan, new head of the Government Aircraft Production Board, is passing five days in Portland. Just as soon aa more urgent duties) at Washington have received hla atten tion, Mr. Ryan will visit the Paclfla Northwest that he may gain first-hand information relating to aircraft pro duction. This fact Mr. Ross divulged in giving assurance that his chief follows only constructive policies which can hardly fail to strengthen the Government's production programme, and that with out interfering with existing produc tion machinery. Inspectors Ordered West. As the initial step toward attaining highest efficiency in furnishing the factories of Eastern states with an abundance of aircraft material. Mr. Ross is bringing from those factories and from Washington a corps of ex pert inspectors. These men will elimi nate stock which might otherwise util ize much-needed transportation space. As the - first step toward maximum production of atock timbers, operations in the Northwest are at once to be ex tended to include Western and white pine. Mr. Ross declares he in here primar ily to meet with the Western Pine Manufacturers' Association, whtch Is to hold its monthly session Tuesday in Portland. Western and white pine woods have been found very aatisfactory for the making of airplane wing beams, states the visiting expert. They have not been found superior to sprues and fir, as an erroneous report has indicated, but are so valuable that the production board is turning to them with the ex pectation of thus quickly increasing the output of acceptable timbers. . Eastern Oregon and Washington and much of Idaho can turn out the pine in great quantities. Mr. Ross pointed out, and will quickly have the oppor tunity of Joining the Coast spruce and fir sections in augmenting the supply of materials. Official Expresses Satisfaction. Fresh from inspections of airplane factories of the East came Mr. Ross to Spokane and Portland. With what he saw and learned in those plants he was highly pleased. "Right off the reel." said Mr. Ross. "I want to assure the people here that I was delighted to find our airplane programme moving so well In the East. And I am ready now to say that I am also pleased with the way things are moving here in the Northwest, where we are getting the all-important part of our requirements." Anything reassuring to be said about aeroplane production? Well, just in passing, Mr. Ross visited 18 factories in one city. Satisfactory clear stock being fur nished the factories? In one group of establishments the amount of stock discarded has been nil. The line of questioning reached the point where the Montana lumberman, for so he is, could no longer let out even the interesting little sidelights. He did bear strong, though, on the point that the uninitiated can have little conception of the quantity of ma terials and planes that must be forth coming in the Immediate future. Position Declared Uaofflclal. For 18 years Mr. Ross has been asso ciated with Mr. Ryan. During nearly all of that time he has had charge of the lumber department of Mr. Ryan's most famous mining corporation, the Anaconda Copper Mining Company.

As such he is merely attempting to do some of the things Mr. Ryan cannot do for himself. He plans to depart Wednesday for his home at Missoula, Mont., but admits he may continue to serve his chief for many months in his present capacity. Mr. Ross has held conferences with Colonel Brice P. Dtsque, head of the spruce production division of the United States Signal Corps. It is not Mr. Ross' province to act in an advis ory capacity and so far as concerns the move now on to enlarge the spruce production division by addition of 9000 to 20.000 men, it is something entirely outside of his direction.
