J. Vun- Bruggen, who was th«- contractor on the new union high school structur«' until tlie architect, F. Marion Stokes, failed to pass on his work. L. J.

Preserve Wild Life of State The wild life of Oregon in rela tion to the welfare and develop ment of the state was dismissed by Arthur 1. Moulton, prominent Port land sportsman, in an address be fore the Rotary club here Thurs day. E. W. Beckett was chairman. Mr. Moulton said that because of the large portion of government lands in Oregon that only two- thirds of the state was taxable, and that the state would have to turn to other means than direct taxation as property is already burdened. The state, he said, ought to and is attracting outside people to the state to enjoy the wild life. This, according to Mr. Moulton, pays big dividends to the state and the wild life of the state should be preserved in order that this income may con tinue and offset the tax burden. He said there was no use of advertising for people to come here if wild life is destroyed. Control over the use of rivers so that the fish and game would not be destroyed and so that the state might secure some revenue from the disposal of power rights, was urged by the Portlander, who rec ommended a water board to deter mine the charge and pass on all ap plications for use of water. E. J. McAlear had the five- minute program anil told of an in cident in his boyhood when he had quite an experience in catching a P>K.
