A TRUANT OFFICER
NEEDED
EDUCATOR SUGGESTS THAT THE
SCHOOL BOARD CALL ON POLICE

'A prominent educator of this city

tho Astoria school board to call upon the

district boundary board is authorised, by
law, to appoint one op more truant offi
cers, for school ditrlcU of the second
and third classes, which means all

for all second and third class districts
baa been made by the district boundary
board, in the person of, J. Teuscher, Jr,

Aid Society, of Portland, with the dis
tinct understanding that ha is to act
only In caws of exeplloiially delinquent
children, or where parenU contribute in
a gross and unu.ual manner to the de
linquency of their offspring.
Other truant officers, who will serve
in ordinary oases, will be appointed by
the district boundary board, in various
parts of the county as school open, or
when otherwise necessary, and all pro
bation officers must furnish an itemized
statement of time actually employed, in
such cases, before they on receive pay
for their ervices.
It is urged that by appointing truant
officers in the various localities travel
ing expenses will be saved, the services
will bo rendered quicker, and truancy
practically aboluhed.
M. J. Teuscher Jr. is an experienced
man with delinquents and will not bel
tats to retort to law and the courts if
necessary.
This matter will probably be brought
before the school board at its nextf
meeting.

BAD ROAD TO ELK
CREEK! '
LOWER END A JtASS OF MUD AND
IT IS CLAIMED HAS BLOCKED DE
VELOPMENT OF CANNON BEACH
AS A COTTAGERS RESORT OF
SOME SIZE.
V. E. Warren, of Elk Creek, was a
visitor in Astoria yesterday on legal
business, and reports that the lower end
of the road from Seaside to Elk Creek
is still in a very bad condition and bar)
been ever since it was first laid out.
For six miles south of Seaside, the
road has been put in fairly good shape,
lie said, but the remaining two miles to
Elk Creek are practically impassible.
One cent a pound foi carrying freight
over the road is charged, while vehicles
cannot take a load at all. Mud, deep
n nd juicy, makes conditions something
extraordinary.
Mr. Warren believes that the bad con
dition of this road has prevented the
constriction of about 75 cottages at
Cannon Beach, which would have been
erected during the past few days if the
material could be hauled to Elk Creek.
HOQUIAM PLANS BIG FAIR.
IIOQUIAM, Sept. 26. Hoquiam is to
have 'a merchants' fair and industrial
exposition to be held from the 10th to
the 10th of October in the Auditorium
recently built by loctl parties. '
This exposition will be the first one
of its kind ever held on Grays Harbor
and should it prove a success the pro
moters have figured on the fair- wjll be
made a special feature each season. The
fair will be held under the auspices of
the Auditorium association and should
there be any proceeds, the same will go
towards the maintaining of the audi'
torium. Located within the? heart of the
city, this building is perhaps one of the
best in the southwest for such an expo.
sltion. Its large floor space and roomy
gaieties make it an ideal building for
the displaying of exhibits.
The features of the exposition will he
the displaying of the agricultural pro
ducts of Chehalis county. For many
years H has been claimed thaV the finest
fruits and vegetables to be raised in the
state have been cultivated in Chehalis
county and this fair will give the farm
ers an excellent opportunity to display
their prize craps. 'Another feature will
Ue the poultry show, the dog show and
pure food display.. :
