The total number of high school graduates Is 877. of whloh 'number 170 are graduates from the ; Portland High school. Out of this number about one-fifth, according to f Superintendent Rlgler, are graduates of 'the pupil teacher class, maintained by .the city school system for the training of fiigh school graduates who desire to fit themselves for teachers In publlo ' school work. Shows nigh Quality. According to Superintendent Rlgler Sthts record points to the high quality of the Portland teachers and not to the C reverse. He points out the case of one "teacher In the list of those who have r'xiot graduated from any achool or col ,lege showing that she is one of the best i equipped , instructors la the whole sr vlce. I, Turning to the list of high school Kaauates Mr. .Jtugier states that per ps one-fifth have taken the pupil unaer tne airection hlblted at the fair before and proves that in the commercial strife which characterises all western countries Ore gon has not neglected the finer arts. Four doors open Into the fine new poultry building. An aisle encircles the building, inside of which are tne oagea or pigeons and pet stock, ana outside, between the sials and the walls of ths place, cages containing the bent speci mens of all varieties of barnyard fowl, rot Stock Cages. The pet stock cages are made of fine netting and are arranged in tiers ons above the other, pry am id style. There Is accommodation for 660 pigeons alto gether, but the arrangement Is so nearly perfect that there ssems to be fewer cages than there really ara In these cages will be found the best carriers in uregon which have mads some of the best if not the very best records made In the world. From this building car riers will be dispatched every morning with messages. On the outer rows are large cages with bars of heavy steel wire. Though the poultry exhibit was only introduced this year, it promises to be an unqualified sucoess, and the number of exhibits show that it has supplied a long-felt want The roofs of the stock barns aro made in two sections with a row of windows between, and thus are light enough for all necessary purposes. They are rather narrow, compared with their length, but that is in harmony with the peculiar arrangement. Once inside the stock arena the visitor is almost equidistant from all ths barns and not getting a side vlsw of any Of them they appear to be small, and it Is difficult to believe that they are the same buildings as wers vlswed from the outside. It is an Ideal place for the purpose. It la lined with large oaks and is cool on the hottest day. At night tt will be brilliantly lighted. From the arena all the barns appear exactly alike, with the exception of the numbers from 1 to 12, and the words "cattle," "sheep," 1iogs," "goats," or "horses," to indicate the contents of the structures. As to the stock exhibits little need be said, except that In quality they excel anything ever before shown In Oregon. - Another Improvement is ths baseball ground, which has been prepared Inside the race track directly opposite the grandstand. The ground was plowed harrowed and thoroughly leveled several weeks aro, and has leen ready for the players for some time. Crowds are already on the ground, al though the fair has not yst opened. Many of these are campers who wished more than one week's outing.

You may not hear from - this for some days as It will bs a big Job to write so many people. Signed, W. H. Moore, room 7, Lafayette building." with this request ana appeal, w. H. Moore, president of the defunot Oregon Trust and Savings Bank, has com menced his publlo efforts to reopen the bank upon a plan which will give It the strength necessary to withstand ths strain of such an opening and enable It to take its place among the large and solid financial Institutions of the city. Take atoms gtook. Mr. Moore will not dlsouss the plana he has for ths reorganisation of the bank further than to state he hopes to be able to formulate a plan which, with the assistance of all concerned will en able the wrecked institution to gather Itself together and pay all Its creditors dollar foe dollar. Neither will he state who are interested with him in the work he has undertaken though common re port has it that many heavy financial interests will back the venture once the depositors show their willingness to assist as well. According to the general plan whloh has been outlined by some men sup posed to be conversant with ths propo sition under consideration, it is desired that depositors in the suspended bank, who have deposits of 1600 or more. agree to take Home telephone bonds for their deposits until the 8800,000 worth of bonds are taken up, thus relieving the bank of that amount of Indebted ness. It is further desired that other de positors convert their deposits Into stock In ths reorganised bank until in this way at least 1260,000 In stock would be subscribed.

"Perhaps one fifth of the number ' wraduated from high schools iiave taken the pupil teachers course of two years " after graduation, which in my opinion ' qualifies them to be ranked with nor- rnal graduates," said Superintendent ' Klgler in discussing the question this morning. "During these two years," he continued, "the students have the , benefit of the experience of the best and most- experienced teadhera in the Portland schools and learn by actual ' experience how to conduct their work.

It requires one year In the normal school for the graduation of a high cchool graduate, especially of graduates of the Portland high sohool, where the general work Is higher than that of the normal school, and the only Instruction reaulred of such graduates Is in the professional work." Among the rank and file of the teachers, however, a different view is taken of the pupil teachers' course. It is contended by the teachera, many of them, that ths. institution Is a draw- I . back to their .work In that the presence of the beginners from the high school distracts the attention of the pupils and - scatters their Interest in their studies.

That It deprives the legislature of power to apply to congress for conven tions to propose amendments to the fed eral constitution, and of power to rati fy such amendments, violating article S. That It deprives the legislature of the right to ohoose senators to congress as prescribed by article 1, section S. That the 1 per cent tax act Is an ef fort to deprive the telephone company of the equal protection of the laws, and denies rights and immunities guaran teed by amendment 14, section 1. The telephone company takes excep tion also to the fact that Initiated laws are adopted by voters who are neither elected nor sworn as legislators, and that If every voter Is a legislator there 1s no means of determining the quali fications of electors for the lower house of the state legislature, and therefore no way of determining the qualifications requisite for a , representative to con gress from Oregon. Federal questions being raised by the telephone company's answer, the case may be appealed to the supreme court of the United States for final determina tion, the state having the right of ap peal when It is a party to a civil suit. State Senator Dan J. Malarkey would not express a final ODlnton without having an opportunity to look Into the questions raised, and believed his first impressions might be altered by a re search Into the decisions of ths points Involved. He said: Malarkey's Opinion. "Without Investigating, It seems to me there is very little In the conten tions that the state legislature Is de prived of its powers. We still have the legislature, and if the powers are expressly or impliedly conferred by the United States constitution upon it, the legislature could act as to these de tails and still allow the exercise of the initiative and referendum as to other matters. , "As to what Is a Republican form of government within the meaning of the constitution, and whether the initiative does not permit a Republican form of government," I would not say. "There appears to me to be much more merit in the allegations that this 2 per cent tax act denies the company the equal protection of the law by Imposing a tax not leviea upon others, than in the charges that the legislature is shorn of its powers.". taken off the shoulders of ths institu tion and the 1260,000 in stock be sub scribed, the bank oould open without fear of any strain which might be put upon it and an the depositors would bo paid dollar for dollar their claims against the old institution.

According to the plan the offlolals of ins oana, iruin m prmanni inruugn the board of directors, would be chosen by the stockholders of the Institution. It Is stated by Mr. Moore that the men working with him In the attempt to re organise the bank are not any who were connected with the Institution prior to or at the time of Its suspension, lie Is not at liberty to disclose their Identity at this time. federaTcoUrts meet tomorrow Heayy Grist of Work to Be Ground Out During This Fall.

Miss Carrie Myers, the daring aeronaut to day met instant death. The unfortunate woman whose feats have made men gasp, who had only recently been landed from a balloon In a wilderness where wildcats abound, and who scorned to use a life line to fasten her to the paraohute, dropped from a height of 800 feet to a heap of stones and gravel near the Pennsyl vania railroad tracks, a quarter of a mile from the race course. "Every bone In her body was broken," eald the surgeons who examined her. Miss Myers, whose correct name was Mrs. W. H. Wilcox, was the wife of a Pennsylvania engineer. She Was 82 years of age. When the basket was made ready and the parachute attached. Miss Myers clamoered Into It and waved to the thousands of neonle that were soon to see her meet an awful death. The great ? fathering of people cheered wildly as he attendants cut the ropes that held the balloon, and Miss Myers, cool, calm end confident was carried high into the air. The currents toyed with the huge bal loon for a moment and then seemed to send It toward the north. The brave woman was looking down upon the crowd with the same nerve she had always displayed when high above the earth, In a few seconds a change In the wind veered the balloon. It tilt ed and leaned over like a ship struck by a great wave. But the glasses trained on Miss Myers showed that she gave no indication of fear. At an altitude of too reet, with the 10,000 human beings beneath her hold ing their breath, Miss Myers decided to drop. The spectators saw a little speck of black, with what appeared llko a great rod above it, drop from the, bal loon, but that little black speck whlszed down like an arrow.

As the parachute floated langor ously about and the balloon sailed over the tree tops, Miss Myers fell 800 feet Half a dosen women, realising what had happened, fainted.
