A list of about 300 names of boys and girls who ought to be in school, according to the school census of last fall, but who are not registered in any of the classes, was turned' over to Acting Chief of Police Oberg by Su perintendent Clark yesterday. The chief of police ia the truancy officer by virtue of bis police office, and it is his duty to find out why the children are not at school, and, presumably, to enforce attendance. ' According to Superintendent Clark there are about at many girls out of school a boys. The law provides that between the age of 9 and 14 the children must attend, while between the ages of 14 and 16 they must at tend unless actually at work. Most of the 300 who are now truants are along from 14 to 15 year of age. A determined effort will be made to enforce the law rigidly, and while heretofore the police are said to have paid littlev or no attention to the truancy cases reported to them, now it is hoped that they will join in with the plan to make the children attend school. At all events there seems to be a disposition on the part of the school authorities to see that the mat ter is not left to take its own course. Back From Nehalem Carl Knutsen, who with Mrs. Knut sen went out to the Nehalem Valley several months ago for a sojourn dur ing the summer, has returned to the city. Mr. Knutsen says their stay in the Nehalem was very enjoyable. They were near the little town called Vernonia, in Columbia county. The settlers there are not very numerous nor the roads well developed, but every one is prosperous and all have great hopes of better things lo come when the railroad goes through. Af ter staying at Vernonia for a month or more they went to Forest Grove, labout 25 or 30 miles west of Portland, and for the past month have enjoyed themselves in the hop , fields.. Mr. Knutsen comes back tanned with his summer' outing and strong and hearty. : '- ' Cave Excellent Play A fine house greeted the "Trials of Mr. Flipper" at the Astoria theatre last night, and the play itself was given in a manner that pleased the audience mightily and reflected great credit on the young ladies and gentle men who took part. The entire low er floor was filled and upstairs there wa also a comfortable crowd. Per haps it Is only fair not to expect quite the finish and dash in a play given by amateurs as in one presented by pro fcssional players, nevertheless the "Trials of Mr. Flipper" last night went off from beginning to end with out a hitch. It made lots of fun. The part of Mr. Flipper himself was taken in an excellent manner by Mr. Rives Emerson, and all of the others did well, some of them really very well. The play was given for the benefit of the high school football team. Off For Pennsylvania Mayor Michael Gorman, of Cath lamet, Wash., arrived in the city yes terday morning, to arrange some business matters prior to his depart ure, onWednesday next, for Wil liamsport, Pennsylvania, whither he 'goes to visit his aged mother, Mrs. M. Gorman, who has recently . suffered the loss of an eye, and who fears that the other eye isto be sacrificed and ,who desires to see her son before Such a grivous thing shall happen, if happen it must, and Mr. Gorman is .equally anxious to gratify her de sire. It is a very sad affliction and Mr. Gorman's friends trust that the mother may be spared any further de privatino. Typewriters Ordered Acting at the instance of the school board Superintendent Clark yesterday' ordered two typewriters for use in the High School business course, the new branch that has been added to the curriculum. The busi ness course has not been actually commenced yet, but there have been several applications for it and it is presumed that quite a number of the pupils will take it up when once it is fairly started.

During my rounds hire yesterday several of my friends who bought and who contemplate buying Swinto lots put this, very pointed question to me, viz: "Do you honestly consid er Swinton lots a first class invest ment as you advertise?" My answer to them is that I would advise a blind! man to buy lots in Swinton because it is a sure profit maker. I publish this to assure all others who have read our ads and contemplate buying in Swinton that it is even better that we advertise. I not only think that it is the best investment of the kind to W found in Portland but I KNOW IT and I know the situation there thoroughly. A few dollars invested NOW in Swinton will bring unheard of returns. It don't take a fortune to buy them because our terms are very reasonable, we only require 10 per cent of purchase price down. F.
