De tne nappiest over tne new nign scnooi piant at biiverton is
hard to say. Adams has already made the statement that no
one could be more pleased than he.
Much credit for many extra conveniences at no greater
expense is due Adams. membersO
of the school board state. This is I
the third school built under Ad
ams' superintendency. He has
made a thorough study of modern
plants in Oregon and Washington
and through knowledge there
gained, it is said, has been able to
suggest many an attractive feat
ure which might otherwise have
been overlooked.
The building contins 17 rooms.
However, some of them are so ar
ranged that sound proof doors can
be used to partition the larger
rooms into smaller ones.
Laboratories Improved 1
The laboratories are among the
biggest improvements over the old
plant. Chief among these are those
for home economics, biology and
chemistry. j
Biology and chemistry labora
tories each have work tables, ar
tones eacn nave wora tames, ar-
ranged for two students, equip-
ped with acid proof table tops, gas
Jets and electricity. In addition
the chemistry tables t are each
equipped with small acid proof
sinks. There are both direct and
alternating current in the chemis
try laboratory. ,
Adams admits the home econ
omics department is one of his
special joys In the new. building.
The laboratory contains six unit
kitchens. Of these, four have gas
stoves and two electric. Each has
its own sink, work table and serv
ing table. The laboratory Is also
arranged with special broom clos
et, tea towel drier, and refrigera
tor. Has Cafeteria
Off from the home economics
laboratory is the cafeteria and Its
kitchen which will be brought into
use later in the season. This Is to
be arranged with a hot food table,
a dish washing machine and other
conveniences. When this Is

that it will not be quite ready for I

Woodburn House
Sam Stubbs Home Burns
Sunday Morning While
Owners Away
WOODBURN The home of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Y. Stubbs,
a? quarter-mile north of Wood-
burn along the railroad tracks
and Just south of the Church of
God campground, was completely
destroyed by fire about 1:30 t. m.
Sunday morning.
.The fire, which was believed
to have started In the basement,
was first noticed by the brake
man on No. 669, southbound
freight train which was passing
through town - at that time. As
the caboose of the train passed
the local depot the brakeman
threw off a note to the operator
In charge of the depot. The note
read: "Smoke arising from house
near Church of God campground,
better send cop to Investigate."
The note was Immediately handed
to the night marshall who Investi
gated and rushed back to town to
blow the siren.
Both the Woodburn trucks
answered the alarm and emptied
their water tanks holding 259
gallons on the house. When the
trucks returned to town to refill
their tanks the fire got complete
ly, out .of control and the house
could not be saved. Tne nouse
and a cellar nearby were com
pletely destroyed and nothing was
saved.
The owners, of the house had
left dn a trip the day before and
no one was home at the time of
the fire. The cause of the fire is
still unknown. Ashes and embers
of the fire, some as big as two
inches square, covered the streets
of the business district Sunday
morning.
