The wide range of religious thought
In 'Portland Is little to be wondered at
when the cosmopolitan nature of the
city Is taken Into consideration. People
from all nations and from all parts of
the earth make this town their home
and this Is one of the cities of a conn
try that placea no restrictions on one's
religious belief. Christian, Jew, hea
then and Pagan can go on his way and
worship In his own manner without
fear of what his neighbor thinks or does,
so long as he does not transgress upon
the rights of the other.
Thirty Fubllo Schools.
Where there are schools one finds
churches. The more schools the more
churches. There arc Just as many pub
lic schools In the city of Portland as
there are churches und missions. There
are 30 public schools with iin enroll
ment of 13.166 pupils, an Increase over
last yeur of almost 1.000.
The exact valuation of the school
property belonging to the Portland dis
trict Is difficult to determine, inasmuch
ss the school botird has from time to
time changed the values on account of
Insurance and taxation. However, II.-
000.000 would hardly cover the worth
of the buildings and grounds.
Aside from the enrollment of 13.186
at the day schools, nearly 600 boys and
girls attend the night schools at the
high school, Williams' Arenue and Cen
tral.
At the Vla-Bt Schools.
The enrollment last year was; Girls,
6.466; boys, 1, 966-totaL . 12,422. The
Portland night schools are In charge of
I. A. Mllner. Frank Carll and J. H,
Stanley. A majority of the pupils at
tending the night schools are boys who
are employed during the day. The cn
rollment of the three schools Is about 65
girls and about 260 boys.
Incidentally It might be added that
there are 60 school districts outside of
Portland in Multnomah county, with 64
schoolhousea. The enrollment at the
beginning of the preaent school year was
3,012. Last year . the attendance waa
about the same, at no time running over
2,000.

This company under the management
of Messrs. Sherman and Harmon has al
ways been a favorite with tho people of
this section. The company Insures lire
and is an old line company, with a repu
tation second to no concern In the coun
try. During the yearpf 1902 they wrote
more business in the state of Oregon
than wus ever before written by any one
company In the state In the sume length
of time. They are always prompt and
liberal In all payments and have not had
contested death claim In 10 years.
They have agents all over the country
who In every instance are men of the
highest standing. Messrs. Sherman and
Harmon possess the entire confidence of
the community and have always proven
themselves to be upright In all dealings,
both In and out of the company's busi
ness. .
The elegant offices of the company are
on the seventh floor of the Marquam
building. ,

Xeflections of a Bachelor. ..
From the New York Press.
Sleeping cars make strange bedfellows.
Women don't deliberately set out to
lie; they only plan not to tell the truth.
A girl goes to boarding school to learn
to pretend that she has learned things.
It makes a woman nervous to go shop- 1
ping with her husband for fear he will
get ashamed and make her buy some
thing. .

Happy the Woman who has a GAS RANGE to Roast the Turkey Today !
All that once madq Thanksgiving Day a little unpleasant for the cook, is overcome by the
GAS
RANGE
The even temperature of a GAS RANGE roasts the turkey to a nice brown and retains the juice.
And while you are happy with the Thanksgiving Festivities, don't forget that to make your happiness complete and
continuous you must have the WELSBACH GAS LIGHT in your home. It gives the lightof 80-candle power and at
the same time consumes about half the gas the old time burners do. v r1
. Let us tell you more about it .
