slowly, the greatest rise, 4 feet, being at
Kennewlck. As a consequence, the local
weather office reports a probable rise

E00T MAKES ENTRANCE;
CHILDREN MAKE EXIT
Not a broken sewer, but an ambitious
root has been the cause of the report
coming from Sellwood school during the
ast week that the cellar of the school
ulldlng was flooded with sewage. Act
ing on this report, more than half of
the pupils have been withdrawn from
the school, Borne of them to attend
other schools, others to be absent during
the rest of the year. Principal Clifford
L. Strong of the school was forced to
give much of the time which he usually
devotes to the school to the task of ex
plaining the situation to angry mothers
who adopted a policy of visiting him
en masse.
So far as can be learned no particular
Investigation of the condition was made,
the report that the cellar was flooded
being accepted without question, until
?'esterday a small boy possessed of an
nqulrlng mind entered the basement and
made investigations on his own account.
First he found that the amount of sew
age was very small: next he discovered
that the root of a tree had grown Into
the vent of a cesspool near by' and
caused it to flood slightly. Many are
of the opinion that the trouble could
have been discovered before any child
ren were withdrawn from the school
had a proper Investigation been insti
tuted, j

THE IDEAL RESIDENCE SECTION OF THIS CITY
Twenty minutes distant from the heart of the city, over a winding scenic road
which lands you at COUNCIL CREST PARK, 1200 feet above city level.
From this spot, midst the greenery of nature, view five snow-crowned mountain
peaks, grand and imposing, set like so many sentinels above the spires and sky
scrapers of the bustling city below. The Columbia and Willamette rivers wind
their way across the landscape, finally joining their waters at historic old Van
couver, just below Portland. View Oregon City, the beautiful Tualatin valley,
its broad fields and rolling wooded hills, dotted here and there with comfortable
farms- and budding orchards. Here is rest and inspiration for the nerve-racked
business man, health and strength for the tired mother, rosy cheeks and bright
eyes for the young child, a bracing and invigorating atmosphere, sparkling with
the lifegiving electricity of mountain air, for all.
