indifference so far as the business of

concerned, and in the management they

those who have always been in control To
do. as -they had before. The experiment
has not met with flattering success.

: AMONG THE aUB' WOllEN '
If woman's club work never had . or
never should accomplish anything farther
than create an awakening in household1
economics and domestic science, it would
not have lived fn vain. While every trade
and profession was demanding the best
skilled 'labor and. preparation, that of
wife, mother and housekeeper waa con
tent to rest Upon the traditions of the
past The Woman'a clubs have changed
the order of things, and not alone 'are
they giving attention to these subjects
by navlngyjepartments of study and club
uays ior irne consideration or it, dui
strong demand Is being made for a chair
in co-educational .institutions. .
MISS PORTER LEAVING. ! '.
Miss Porter whq had the desk work at
the school of Domestic Science in Port
land last winter, goes to tbe University
of Idaho to fill, a similar position.
The Portland School of Domestic Sci
ence is an Outgrowth of the work started
by the home department of the woman's
club two yearitago, at which time the
housekeepers of the club gave demonstra
tions In home cooking to a class of over
two hundred. -
Mrs. Elien R. Miller, one of -the most
accomplished demonstrators and lectur
ers on the Coast, was then engaged to
take charge of the work. Mrs. Miller's
first work, for the club was at the Expo-J
sltlon last fall where her demonstrations
attracted large crowds. .'!
TOUNO WOMEN'S 0NION.
A union was then formed by the Toung
Women's Christian Association and the
Woman's Union Joining the Woman's
Club In the work, and the present school
was effected, with Mrs. Miller as demon;
strator and Mhvr Porter for desk work.'
The school sprung into popularity at once
and by its competent work the Influence
it has exerted has been far reaching and
the whole subject of , household, econom
ics has assumed a dignity it never before
held in this community. ', r " .

'what are your' "Oh, I run the whole
thing, I'm the majority.'; Mrs. Ward's
moral la: the majority shoufd always be
recognised as "running the whole thing,"
which literally is correct, but another
sermon might be found" In, (he tendency'

WANT WATER
Montavilla's Liquid Supply Be
comes Very Sjcarce.
. Scarcity ot water has caused the resi
dents of Montavilla to put on their
thinking caps and do some very ,loud
thinking of their own accord. With the"
advent ot warm weather there has been
a decided scarcity of the water supply
from the Mount Tabor Water Company.
Montavilla people especially are loud in
their protests against the action "of the
water company in shutting oft the water
supply after 8 p. m.
The water company has given orders
that no one will be'allowed to take a
bucket of water from hla neighbor with
out permission of the company.. Even
those residents who have troughs to
water their horses and stock will now
have to . keep their troughs closed so
that ' stock not their own will not be
abj to refresh their thirst without first
notifying the company and paying for
the privilege.
This action of"'the company in refusing
to allow the free watering of stock 'is
causing great Indignation among the
Montavillaltes and they say that they
will retaliate. ...Low muterings have
gone forth from the residents for some
time on account of the water company's
action and now an effort will be made
at the next meeting of the Stat Legis
lature to pass a bill that will annex the
district to the . City of Portland.
The school question, too, is one of the
causes of the unrest among residents of
the detrtct. Although the School facili
ties of the district are much better than
the average suburb of Portland tha peo
ple are not satisfied and say that they
want the same -educational advantages
for their children that the younger gen
eration in the city receive. Anyway,
Montavilla people are not going to let the
grass grow under their feet.
Veterans in Camp.
Testerday's attendance at the reunion
of the Civil Wftd. Veterans at Pleasant
Home was the largest since the camp
was opened. In the afternoon Mrs., Ab
igail Scott Duniway delivered her ad
dress on "The Disfranchised . Citiaen."
She spoke of the several states In the
West which gave ; women the same
chance to register their votes and take
the same Interest In their government as
the men. Mrs. Duniway wanted to know
how long It would be before the grand
state of Oregon would give the women
who pay taxes, some representation in"
the" state government. ' '
The program for this afternoon will In
clude a lecture by John F. Caples, late
United States Consul at Valparaiso,
