Received Bad New .
Fred D. Finch, the architect, receiv

left on last night's train. Six years
ago his wife died and a year ago his
eldest daughter, and the daughter
who is now ill in Spokane is the only
child left and Mr. Finch fears that
she is seriously ill indeed. She has just
started to teach in the Spokane pub
lic schools, and had graduated from a
normal school last year. Mr. Finch
will probably stay for a while, but as
soon as possible will return to his
business here. -
Correspondence Studies
,' A new bulletin of the correspond
ence study department of the Univer
sity of Oregon has just been receiv
ed. The scope of this work has been
greatly enlarged over the beginning
made last year, and now covers
courses in English Classics, Shakes
peare, Pedagogy, Botany, Algebra,
Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry,
and several courses in Mathematics
for teachers. By means of this work
any student who has not time to at
tend college or high school, can pur
sue, with hardly any' cost, practically
the same work by correspondence
through the University courses, and
receive credit for it. Thousands of
dollars each year are- sent out of
Oregon to various correspondence
schools, and the University believes
that a large part of this might just as
well be saved to the people of the
State. The enrollment of this depart
ment will reach 3000 students for the
yiar. .

m 10 FOUCE
ABOUT 300 BOYS AND GIRLS
ARE NOT ATTENDING PUB
LIC SCHOOL CLASSES.
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.

HAS FINE REASONS FOR
GIVING ADVICE.
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.
