Graduated Rise of 30 Pr Cent Is
Adopted Public Hearing
Be Held on December 1
to
Instead of making the erection of
grounds the big Items in the 1920
school budget, the board met last
night and pruned JS6.000 from its
original estimates and reduced allot
ments so greatly that the only items
in addition to upkeep that loom up on
the budget are salary increases. The
30 per cent graduated increase for
janitors brings that portion of the
funds up to $205,000; principals and
teachers, with the increase voted them
last summer, will receive a total of
2.346.3r,5, plus an additional $2000
granted teaching p'rincipals in the
smallest schools. Office salaries
mount up to $70,683. r.
Portables for the coming year are
limited to a $50,000 fund and the only
improvements on old structure's
planned is $30,000 to be invested in
equipment for shop 5 in the Benson
Polytechnic school. It was held .that
this shop Is greatly needed, especially
with an expected increase in attend
ance now that labor conditions are
tightening up again. Ground pur
chases have been limited to $30,000, to
cover the Beach school and Dixon
place, both of which are now under
condemnation. Improvements on prop-

Towel Not to Be Supplled.-
"eed for physical training equip
ment in the high schools caused the
board to allow $1950 for this and $1000
for other supplies. Libraries also are
to be replenished to the extent of
books valued at $3850.
The matter of supplying Jinen tow
els at an estimated cost of $5500 was
voted against and the sum was cut to
$500 for paper ones. Attorneys' fees
and litigation have a $5000 fund, and
upkeep of district automobiles is to be
kept within $7750. Expenses for ex
hibits and convention trips made by
directors are to come within $3000.
Taxpayers will have an opportunity
to express themselves regarding the
budget at a public hearing to be held
at 10 A. M. on Monday, December 1.
The budget will be given out in full
tomorrow.
$3,463,523 to Be on Hand.
The district will have at its disposal
in 1920 receipts amounting to $3,468,
523 derived from the following
eowrces: State school fund, $117,000;
county school fund, $570,000; tuition.
$10,000; delinquent taxes,-$40,000; in
terest on bank balances, $4000; special
teacher salary levy, $531,000; special
levy on debt account. $196,523; prob
able cash balance at the close of the
year, $25,000; money to be raised by
special levy. $1,975,000. '
The board expressed .willingness to
increase more teaching principals' sal
aries, as asked by them at a meeting
yesterday, but this was found impos
sible, although $2000 was voted in an
effort to. equalize those in the smaller
' schools. When work was begun on the
budget it was found necessary to
prune $66,000 from the original out
line prepared by the clerk and this
proble'm occupied practically three
hours.
Before adjournment, the board took
up the matter of naming the school
at Dixon place and chose to call it
after R. L. Sabin, ex-member of the
board. The members also went on rec
" ord as favoring naming the next new
high school building after Theodore
Roosevelt.
Superintendent D. A. Grout sug
gested that the board make some reg
ulation prohibiting t campaigns for
funds being carried into the schools
and. this motion passed. It also in
cludes a 'clause barring campaign
speakers of any sort from taking time
in assembly hours and limits these
addresses to educational subjects.
SUICIDE WITHGAS FAILS
Smell of Fumes Leads Landlady to
Discover Unconscious Occupant.
-Unconscious and with the gas
turned on, F. H. Gleason, 50, a laborer,
was discovered in his room at the
Monte Carlo rooming house, 65
North Third street, yesterday by Mrs.
Carmen Dreyfus, landlady. Gleason
was taken to St. Vincent's hospital by
the Ambulance Service company.
Physicians expressed the belief that
he would recover.
Motorcycle Officer Schad, who made
an investigation of the case, said that
Gleason probably would have suc
ceeded in asphyxiating himself if it
had not been for the fact that the
transom was opened slightly.
JVirs. Dreyfus said she was led to
the discovery of th man by the smell
of gas in the hall. She said she knew
oi no reason wny tne man should at
tempt to commit suicide.
Tichenor Finds Bomb Xote.
Deputy United States Marshal Tich

morning in which the threat was
made to blow up the place at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The note was
unsigned and was decorated with
skull and crossbones and a smoking
bomb. At the appointed hour nothing
happened, but to -be on the safe side.
Tichenor's car was far from that

PRIZE AWARDS ARE PROBED
XAJIES . OF PARTICIPANTS IN
'GUESSING CONTEST' SOUGHT.
District Attorney Itrequcsts Evi
dence to lie Used In Investiga
tion, of Gresham Fair.
Persons who entered into the "guess-
ng contest" held during the Gresham
fair in good faith, expecting they
would win a six-cylinder automobile
if their estimate of attendance during
fair week was accurate, have been in
vited by the district attorney to leave
their names and addresses in his of
fice tomorrow morning, when errand
jury investigation of the alleged lot
tery will begin, it was announced
yesterday.
The 11 prizes, headed by an automo
bile, which were distributed at the end
of the fair to'tlcket holders, are said
to have been given without regard to
attendance estimates--supposedly a
provision of the rules governing the
raffle tickets being picked out of a
barrel by a blind-folded youngster.
If the entire affair, engineered by
M. Rosenthal and A. O. Eastman,
bailiffs in the court of Circuit Judge
Stapleton, is found in a lottery by the
grand jury, the state can confiscate
the prizes. District Attorney Evans
has suggested' that the automobile
could be put to good use in some of
the county departments .
For weeks before the fair, solicitors
for the raffle were to be found on
downtown corners daily urging per
sons to "take a chance on" the auto
mobile ondisplay. Numerous objec
tions were received by the office of
District Attorney Evans, but the pro
moters already had assured him that
the affair was entirely within the lot
tery law.
'We are not selling chances on the
automobile," they explained. "We are
letting people guess on the attendance
at the fair at 10 cents per guess. The
most accurate guesser gets the first
prize.
Since the raffle was held com
plaints have been received showing
that there was little attempt to make
persons write their names, addresses
and guesses on ;the tickets sold, but
that they were sold like chances in
any lottery, according to Samuel H.
Pierce, deputy district atorney, who
will handle the investigation.
The number of tickets sold. totaled
70,000, it "was learned after the raffle.
netting J7000, of which a percentage
went to the fair association and a
good proportion to the workers.

recommendation based on the - con
tents of the document. Mr. Burleson
has also let it be known that he is
not particularly concerned in the
Portland postmaster . other than in
getting results for the department.
Reports current at the time con
veyed the impression that there was
enough "dynamite" in the summary
of the inspectors, to hoist the post
master from his job. Based on this
report, and on the inquiries made by
the presidential party while in Port
land and grapevine rumors since,
there is a belief current in local dem
ocratic circles that something will
(soon drop and that the something
will be the postmaster.

When a doctor uses a medicine himself be
sides prescribing it to his patients, he must
know that it has merit. ""
This is what Dr. J. H. Wagner, a promi
nent physician of Skate, Kentucky, has to
say about Dr. Hartman's well-known remedy.
PE-RU-NA: "I have used FE-RU-N'A my
self for catarrh and have given it to others
for catarrh, bloating after eating and other
ailments. It has proved a success in -all
cases with old and young men and women.
All speak well of PE-RU-NA. It is the best
of all tonics." '
Dr. Wagner, out of the fullness of his .'own
personal experience, for the good of all t-jck
and suffering, recommends a medicine whicii
he knows to be good. You may be sure 'a
doctor woul.d not endanger his professional
reputation by indorsing PE-RU-N'A unless
satisfied beyond a doubt of its value.
Whether your trouble be a cough or a cold,
or a mere subtle catarrhal affection oftlw
stomach, bowels or other organs, give PE-RU-NA
a trial. The immediate improvement
which vou will see will satisfy beyond a doubt
that TE-RU-NA is what you need. . ;
DR. J. H. WAGNER.
