The board of education at Ita regular
weekly meeting: yesterday decided to ea
tabllsh a nautical school for the pur
pose of affording opportunity for the
atudy of navigation. , The new school
will be. , in charge of John M-cNulty,
United States hydrographlc expert, as
instructor.
It was also decided that the three
night schools -of the city shall be
opened September 29. Session will bo
held Monday, Wednesday and Krlday
nights. W. C. Alderson was chosen
principal.
On the recommendation of Superin
tendent Alderman the employment of
substitute teachers was authorized for
the day schools;
Clerk Thomas was authorized to em
ploy an additional assistant.
In behalf of the Ministers' federa
tion a committee composed of Kev. D.
H. Trimble, of Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church; Rev. W. B. Hlnson,
of the First Baptist church, and Rev.
D. H. Klele, of the Calvary Presbyterian
enurch, presented a resolution recom
mending the reading of the Biblo in the
schools.
, Ministers Want Bible Bead.
The resolution was received without
comment and it was announced that It
would be considered at a special meetr
lng of the board sitting; as a committee
of the whole next Tueday evening.
In presenting the resolution Dr. Klehle
said: "Inasmuch as an adequate edu
cation for our citizenship comprises
moral character, intellectual culture
and Industrial training, the educator
should be free to utilize all the re
sources of human history and especially
the literature of the Greek. Roman,
Hebrew and Christian civilizations for
the purposes to which they are respect
ively adapted." '
The resolution was framed In the fol
lowing language:
"Resolved that we, the Portland Min
isters' Federation, recommend to the
properly constituted authorities that
they proceed at once to Institute tho
reading of the Bible without comment
In the isrhools of Portland
In explanation of the resolution it
was insisted that the reading should be
without comment. Dr. Trimble said:
"We don't want any intent ut interpre
tation. Further 1 think I have author
ity to say that we would be satisfied
if the board authorized a scriptural
reader. That would be my Idea of the
best thing to do. I'm a Methodist, but
I do not want any Methodist interpre
tation." Comment Not Daslrad.
Mr. Ilinson continuing; on the same
line said: "We are quite united tliut
there .should be no comment. We want
no ecclesiastical tinge. If the ten com
maii.lmfnts or the beatitudes are read
wo want them road without any com
mont by the teacher."
I.. A. Porter appeared before the hoard
and protested against what he termed
the unfair, unjust and unmannerly" at
titude of Superintendent of Properties
Narrumora toward him.. He declared
that he hud been debarred from employ
ment on the Holman school and that
similar action had been taken in other
cases. He thought it was beyond the
Jurisdiction of the superintendent of
properties to dictate to a contractor
whom he should employ.
Mr. Porter was instructed to reduce
his complaint to writing and present It
for the board's consideration at its spe
cial meeting next Tuesday evening.
A committee from the Richmond
Ncliool asked the hoard to establish a
manual training department in that
school. The matter was referred to
the building committee.
On behalf of the Woodlawn school
.Mrs. II. M. Morse asked the board to
make a contribution for the purchase of
s fireproof moving picture machine.
This was also referred.
The cleric of the board was instructed
to ask the. survey committee which Is
making a survey of the schools to sub
mit advance sheets of its report, it be
ing understood that the report was
about ready to be printed.

Newberg, Or., Sept. 19. In the vicin
ity of Newberg are produced some of
the smallest, as well as some of the
largest, horses In the state. On the
Gordon place are Shetlands weighing
less than 600 pounds, and Clydesdales
that weigh more than 2200 pounds. The
section Is noted for fine hogs, chickens,
cattle and horses. Farmers are turn
ing their attention to better grades of
stock, und a number of them have
made money by furnishing pedigreed
stock for breeding.
Ij. 8. Otis & son are noted for their
strawberlres and for strawberry plants.
This season 400,000 Btrawberry plants
were sent to California, and the de
mand the coming season promises t.i
exceed tho supply. The California sea
son is so long that Oregon grown plants
do better than the native grown. Tne
kinds principally in demand are Gold
Dollar and New Oregon. Particular
attention Is paid to the rooting system
me vines tnat bear plants are not
allowed to produce berries the same
season.
This firm started in five years ago,
and now has 35 acres in strawberries,
with 20 acres additional in preparation
for next season. The averege vield
this season was 140 crates to the acre
tor bearing vines.
Other Berries, Too.
Their farm also has four acres of
loganberries, which have done well for
two seasons since planting. More will
be put out next season. Another by
product that is attracting wide attention
is the Japanese dwarf peach, of which
there arc 10 acres. The trees bore for
the first time this season, and the out
put brought 300. The fruit was shipped
about July 10. The trees are about four
feet high, and are sturdy and healthy.
"There is plenty of land which will
do as well as ours," said Mr. Otis. "It
Is merely a matter of care and work.
Our greatest trouble is to get pickers
and labor to hoe the vines. The more
Hinall farms the greater the number of
pickers. The new line will enable us
to secure help when needed from Port
land. We have to employ some Japa
nese. Shipping facilities here are good
and our markets close." '
F. A. Morris of Newbere ca me Iti
ISSti and has been here ever since. He
"eipeu 10 incorporate the little town. J
ana nas been active In securing benefits
for the community. He is hn nnv nirap
the near completion of the bridge across
the Willamette, a project for which he
has labored, when others gave it up, for
more than 20 years.
A native of old Virginia, born In
1SHH, his heart lias been given to New
berg, and he rejoices in her coming into
her own. Such men are the nerve
centers of every town, and their enerirv
and optimism bring wealth to others as
well as to themselves.
In July, Newberg shipped 110 car
loads of lumber. Its mill employs 125
men the year round, and the pay roll
adOs to the business of the town In nil
lines. There is taken to the mill over
the railroad an average of 10 carloads
of logs a day. The mill has a capacity
of 100,000 feet a day.
District Is rertile.
A. S. Mellinger has seven acres In
loganberries planted in 1906. about two
miles from Newberg. lie has planted
nine acres additional this year. He
old this (season 24 tons ' of fresh
berries, Tor an average price or 165 a
ton. Last year he sold about 17 tons
for $80 a ton. In 1911 he sold 21 tons
for tho same price. He sold consider
ably under the market price this year,
but expects next year to secure better
figures. He says It costs about $20
a ton to gather und market the crop.
Even at the low price received he Is
Clear $720 on the seven acres. Logans
require from five to six pounds of freBh
berrieu, according to beason, to each
pound of dried product. Loganberries
are. being planted extensively In the
vicinity of Newberg, and the output
from the new vines next year will be
probably double that of this year from
the old vlnea.
Mayor J. D. Gordon of Newberg has
a farm about two miles east of town
that he says is too much land for any
man to havo ltl the Willamette valley
and especially in the Chehalem section,
as the beautiful section around Newberg
is called. On this farm he as 100 acres
of young apple trees that are flourish
ing In their second and third season
Blnce planting. They are of even growth
and will prove to be a valuable prop
erty. Mayor Gordon, however, Is going
t break the farm up into small hold
Ings, believing it is better for the com
munity.
There are few large farms left near
Newberg now.
