What the north enst shle looks upon as one (if the most. important civic movements started by men who have the Improvement nn() growth of the city at heart wits begun last night when the North Albina Improvement association by a unanlmnuN vote decided thnt Klll ingsworth avenue should be widened to a distance of hu feet along its entire length.

When the association was called to order last night there was some dis senting opinion as to the advisability of widening the street, but when Sec retary John Nolta, Frnncls I McKenm Dr II. M. Green, II. G. Parsons. H. A Ruble and Georgo C. Carl got up and made stirring appeals In behalf of the Improvement showing the great benefits It would bring to the east side in the enhancement of property values, there, was no adverse vote when the roll was called.

DON'T MISS THIS GREAT SALE We herewith present the twelfth core in the educational contest which Includes all subscriptions received up to and Including Saturday, August 15. In district No. 1 several big gains have been made in the voting schedule and the contestants are now at work determined to change places at every count if possible. AVhlle Ralph Bob natt still leads, Miss Melton has closed up the difference In score and Is now a very close second. Harry Crain, Ad rian Smith, Roy Cross, Clyde Cooley, David Wilson and Frank Kennell all make substantial gains and Myrtle Rog ers Jumps from eighth to fourth place. Many or her friends are at work de termined to help the young lady and no doubt she will stay at the head of the list. David Wilson advises us today that he leaves Llnnton on a canvassing trip determined to land every one in his vi cinity, and he promises that the next core will show considerable change. Miss Williams Gains fast. In district No. 2, Miss Launer, the hustling contestant from Dallas, again makes a very substantial gain in her score, and still leads over every other district. Miss Williams Is fast coming o the front and makes another sensa tional gain. Gladys Nelson and Reulah Gilkey still hold third nnd fourth places. Earl Jakcson drops from firth .to eighth place. Adela Vollstedt and Paul Nunati move up to fifth and sixth place, and William Patterson, the latest con testant In this district, takes a jump to seventh plarc, Charles lllhbard drops back to last place, and seems content to hold on In this manner. In district No. 3 Misg Gilkey of Grants Pass Is still keeping up the work, and Miss Berkrem of Gardiner is following her a rinse second. Freda Hockenyos, Ray Haines and Grace Ryan by "I don't believe Ben Rtahl was killed the Italian, Tony Plcciano," said are all being royally supported by their M- E- Barlow of 1116 Knst Twenty-third friends, and their scores show some lm provement. In district No. 4 Miss MeKinney again Jumps ahead of Ray Harper and leads by a smal margin. Frances Gordlon Is living up to expectations and is fast closing up the gap, making a sensa tional gain In third place. Dolly Lilly, Etta Shelton, Margarette McCoy and Kenneth Murray Increase their score over the last count and are hard at work. Gladys Rogers, the new contest ant from Baker City, Jumps from sev enth to fourth place. This young ladv writes us today that she is "determined to head the lfst in a short time and contestants in this district will have to hustle to keep away from her. Uakea a Oood Start. Carl Powers of Pendleton enters the score for the first time in this district with over 1.700 votes. This Is an ex cellent showing for the first publication and from information received we are sure that Carl is at work determined to head tho list and win a scholarship in the Pendleton academy. This young man was born in Oregon and has lived in Pendleton for some time. Being well and favorably known among the employes of the O. R. A N., It. is cer tain that the railroad boys will get together and help him in a substantial way. .

In order to make sure of the desired scholarship and keep your score constantly on the Increase, you must land these promised subscriptions from every source every day. street, speaking of the murder last Wednesday night of the southern Skam ania homesteader at Stevenson, Wash. "There were only three persons pres ent, the man who was killed, the Ital ian nnd tho saloon keeper, Billy Ells worth. The Italian ran away and the only testimony Is thnt of the saloon keeper. "Ben Stahl was not a drinking man and he was not of a quarrelsome dis position. He couldn't have been drink ing in the saloon all afternoon and evening, for he came in with a load of campers and couldn t have reached there before 5 o clock. "The coroner's jury brought In a verdict of justifiable homicide. I can't understand how they could do that when a man was killed for his money. It looks like a funny thing to me. The killing of Mr. Stahl was the third mur der that has taken place In that saloon, or near it, and there has never been an arrest before.

Four counties In the San Joaquin valley of California, of which Fresno Is the cen ter, produce practically all of the raisin ; crop of the country. To mature and' cure the raisin crop requires a long, drv summer, and Fresno rejoices in heat, : because that Is the basis of Its wealth. , While Mr. Oundelflnger wns talking with a representative of The Journal his daughter handed him copies of two Fresno papers of recent vintage and he at once dived into them to read the weather report.
