The plan of organisation would not necessarily oeuae abandonment of the organisations now exlstlng.but they would be more in the form of sub sidiaries to the , big central . body. The putative plana provide for a board of trustees of 1 members, two irom each lumber manufacturing district, as followsi ; British Columbia, Everett and Belllngbam, Seattle and Taeoma, Grays Harbor. Wlllapa harbor, Columbia river, Willamette valley and Central la. The president would be elected .at large and one of the two representatives of each distrlot would act as chairman of the local organisation In his re spective district It was explained, to dtsousslng the motion bringing the matter to a vote, that by maintaining one large asso ciation Instead of a number of smaller ones .(he lumbermen would have fewer meetings to attend, and therefore would have better opportunity to eenter their attention on the one association. The principal association work Is of an edu cational character, such as discussion of modern methods of manufacturing, the establishment of uniform grades and the operation of a freight bureau. i- n ',,.-, Xxpenses Beduood, " t p. By combining these departments Into one, it is figured that the expense of maintenance -could be greatly reduced.

No voting contest ever conducted in Portland, outside the realm of politics, has aroused such a widespread Interest as the "Teachers' European-American Travel Contest" now In progress at the Meier & .Frank store, It Is prob ably no exaggeration to say thatfully 16 per cent of the people In Portland and surrounding territory are watching the voting with as keen an Interest as If the fate of a great statesman hung In the balance. " In all, II prises are to be distributed among the publio school teachers rf Portland and Oregon. Ths tnpst sought for prizes are the trips to "Europe f which there are three one each to an east side and west side teacher and to an Oregon teacher outside of Portland. The winners of these prises will , be given a free trip from Portland to Lon Ann ar P,rii and return. They will be allowed 40 days abroad and may select passage on any or tna scores wi tlal teamers that ply between New York and European porta. The fourth prise is a trip to New York and a 10 day stay in the metropolis the fifth prise Is a month at any Oregon beach. Then follow eight prises of two weeks vacation at an Oregon beach. .

That the contest is absorbing the at tention of many thousands of Oregon's school children and parents as well is seen from the fact that up to 10 o'clock last night more than ltOOO.000 votes had been cast for tne bu jeaaing name it ni t seen that Miss Cora Murphy of Highland sohool, leads with a total of 840,260 votes, being nearly 10,000 hel of her .nearest competitor, Miss Blanche Catlln of Hawthorne school Aman west side teachers.

Many noia meir owwu, as they are allowed to oo, xor live aays, waiting until they accumulate, a large number of votes.
