which he promised to pay aa soon as
good fortune amiled upon him.
Dr. Doran waa about out of ready
cash, but believing In the honesty' of
the' young man borrowed the sum asgea

WOMEN IN LINE TO VOTE ON
ALBINA HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
When the polls were opened to the
taxpayers of the Portland school dis
trict at 1 o'clock this afternoon, at the
city halL to vote to bond the district
for $260,000 for a new high school build,
lng in northeast Portland, a line had
formed extending from the doors of the
clerk's office around the corridors to
the elevators. As soon as the doors
were opened the voters passed Quickly
through the office of the clerk, and it
la estimated that several hundred per
sons had voted within half an hour.
It is expected that several thousand
taxpayers will take advantage of the
opportunity to vote before the nolle
close at 4 o clock. Many women were
In the line awaiting their turn to cast
their ballot. So far aa known there
is no opposition against the proposed
school, and it is expected that the vote
will be almost unanimously in favor of
tne proposition.
