After going thor oughly into the arguments in favor of each of the two possible sites, ihe board decided to ask James & Bartholomew, architects, to prepare a recommendation for one. The two locations are side by side, on Howard street, one facing the end of Cottage and the other half way between Cottage and Winter. Both hare favorable points, making the choice practi cally a tossup, according to Charles I). James, of the archi tects.

There is high, rolling, well drain ed land for the school building sites, a beautiful natural grove of oaks and evergreen just back of the building site; also a natural ampi-theater adjoining the grove on the east which, with no grat amount of labor, could be devel oped into a stadium almos the enual of Multnomah field at Tort land or the Lincoln junior high t-hool stadium at Tacoma. ; The greatest of all coast stadiums, of course, is that of the Tacoma j high school, which overlooks the i har bor. All major athletic events of the Sound district are held in this stadium, while the smaller events are held at the Lincoln junior high stadium in that city, for both of which stadiums nature played a prominent part in their :con struction, as was also the case at Portland.

Mexican Religious Edict Brings Grief and Sorrow Thousands of Pilgrims of All Walks of Life Flock to Catholic Churches to Manifest Devotion as Time Nears for Closing of Houses of Worship MEXICO Cm', .July 30. (By Associated Press) Roman Catholics of Mexico today: gave way to a great manifestation of devotion to their religion and grief as the last few, hours slipped by before the new governmental regulations become effective. The extraordinary scenes of religionUs emotion of the past fortnight, marked by the flocking of thousands to their churches and shrines, were surpassed as yast assem blages swamped the cathedral in Mexico City, the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and other beloved places of worship. There was a poignant note at it : the final services, for tomorrow Roman Catholic priests will with- draw from the performance of their religious offices under the orrtfrs of the arch-bishopric of Mexico. Their action is intended as a protest against the govern ment's religion regulations which they regard as striking at the very heart of the church in Mexico. As the day drew to a close, the attorney general's of fit e an nounced that department of jus tice agents will seal and place un der government charge all "an nexes of all churches." Ry this is mean' every church office or structure except actual places of worship, including the archbish ops and bishops office, vestry of fices, sacristies and places where church treasures are stored. This order is understood to he for the purpose of preventing the removal of treasures of church property. It is maintained by the government since the reform lsw of more than fifty years ago. that all church propetry belongs to the government, although it has not seized the property and has al lowed the churches to continue in possession. Barefoot men. women and children trudged over the rough roads, sun baked, to Guadalupe bay by thousands. Often their feet were bleeding. Numbers of gently nurtured women, unaccustomed to the hardships of life tramped un der the boiling sun. selling their beads and brushing shoulders with sturdy Indian women inured to the elements and hardships. From every part of Mexico came similar stories qf barefoot proces sions to favorite shrines or local churches as a special demonstra tion of grief on the last day- of the priestly services, for no one knows how long. The number of priests and the capacity of the churhces were inadequate; many thousands waited in vain for the priestly offices. Often there was a heartbroken sob as realization came of inability to secure bap tism, confirmation or the- mar riage service. Great crowds camped all last night around the cathedral in Mexico City and the Guadalupe shrine, and long before daylight lines were formed at the en trances. Most of those who came through the day were c:sappoint- CCTontfnned on pare T. FLAMES UNCONTROLLED 10,000 ACRES ni'RXRD OVER IN RIjACKFEET forest MISSOULA, Mont., July 30. (By Associated Press).

In both reserves fires were said to have driven into big stands of timber, while a new fire, sweeping forward, on five mile fronts from Independence creek toward the Pend O'Reille increased the seriousness of the situation. Eighty more men were sent into the area today to reinforce the weary crews. Running wild yesterday, the fire near Olney burned over more than 10.000 acres in the Black feet forest, while another to the south of Olney sprang up despite the stubborn battle waged by a crew of fifty fighters. Seventy- fjve more men were'sent into the region from here today. FIXING ATTEMPT FAILS BEER-MAKER UNSUCCESSFUL 4 IN GAINIX'q PROTECTION 1 SEATTLE, July 30.

Speed with which names wre recruited on the petitions indi cated almost unanimous opposi tion to the shorter hours on the part of merchants whose business is most ahectod by parking rules, a d those in charge of the poll believe down town interests will unite s jlic'.ly in opposition.

"Past experience has proved," said the order of the commission, "that bus service for urban and interurban communities Is super ior to that afforded by street cars. and is safe, adequate and convent lent."
