The lockers are dark gray and will each accommodate two students. There are 238 of them to be installed. Little fluctuation is shown In the ficures of this year's report of the Salem high school regarding the cost of education when compared with those of the last five years. The lost two years, however, show a slight increase over the preceding ;n tu nncr nf nH 1 1 rn f inn npr nimil since state leeislation has required the addition of the interest on tnc fair value or the investment in high school buildings after depreciation has been taken into consideration. with this addition this year's report shows that the total cost of main taining the high school during the year 1926-7 was $141576.64 with the uer nunil cost at $103.94 Three Hundred and ninety onu pupils living outside of the city of Salem attended the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades In Sa lem during the past year. State leg islation requires that counties not equipped with standard high schools pay tuition for the students from those counties attending schools in other cities. Students not living in Salem and attending the Salem high school during the year 1926-27 are listed according to counties as follows: Marion 309, Polk 79, Josephine 1, and Linn 2.

F Smith, local insurance man, has sold his home at the corner of north Summer and E treeU to Curtis Townsend, Adrian Loomis and Henry Jalrl, Salem youths, ail under 21 years of age, were refused a parole from their sentence of two years in the state penitentiary this alternoon by Circuit Judge Percy R. Kelly. The trio were arrested in June in connection with a long series of burglaries and thefts in dwelling houses of some of Salem's leading citizens, the raids being made while the parties were away over week ends and on vacations. Wearing apparel, jewelry and musical instru ments were included in the loot, much of which has not yet been re covered. Efforts by Attorneys Macy and Ferrey to have the case dismissed be cause of the youthfulness of the de fendants. their willingness to con fess and the possibilities of securing each a position were futile, Judge Kelly taking the position that if the state should grant a parole, such an action would serve only as an in- j-ducement for further depredations bv bovs ana young men who arc on the borderline between a criminal life and EOing straight. Jauntmess exnlbited enring their month in jail and their trial is be lieved to have nullified the plea that the convicted boys hact repented their crimes. The district attorney office refused to recommend their parole because they had not only committed one crime but had been fruiltv of a series of so-called "jobs' and had made little effort to assist officers in recovering the stolen coods. No announcement was made con' cernirm a possible appeal to the su preme court. The trio will enter the "fish" cells at the penitentiary to night. Everything Is all set for the Mon tana picnic to be held at Hager's grove, Sunday, July 24. Assurance is reaching the com mittee from towns as far south as Eugene and as far north as Portland ttiat the Montana people will be here in large numbers. Everything indicates that this will be the largest gathering of Montana people ever held in the state ol ore' gon. An elaborate program has been planned. The picnic dinner in be at 12 o ciock, tne ciud lur- nishing coffee. It Is planned to have the speakers' platform so locat ed that the crowd can spread their dinner around it. Immediately after dinner Governor Patterson will de liver a short address welcoming for mer citizens of Montana to Oregon. H. R. Cunningham, president of the Montana Life Insurance com nanw of Helena, is making the trip from Helena to Salem and will deliv- re the principal address. Cunningham is known personally or by reputation to practically every former Montana resident. After the speaking the commit tee on sports will take charge and the afternoon will be devoted to games, races, swimming and horse shoes. The horseshoe contest prom ises to be a lively and Interesting match, a small entrance fee will be charircd for this contest and worth while prize will be awarded the winner. The committee now estimates that there will be between 150 Oand 200U In attendance. Every arrangement has been made to handle the crowd. thera will be between 1500 and 2000 club members on the ground to su pervise parking of cars and give general lniormation. Expert swim mers will be statione;. at the swim ming dooI to guard against accident. Men will be stationed at tne sou in corner of the state house grounds to give direction for reaching the grove.

Miller, one of the regents, asked that the board do something in the way of protest against the abandonment of the line, which is the only rail connection serving the normal school at Mon mouth. Miller, stressing the necessity of a rail connection for the normal school, said that he had discussed the matter with members of the public service commission and that they had iniormed nun mat they were not aware there was a state normal school located at Monmouth. Governor Patterson, as chairman of the board of regents, asked Mr. Miller to take the matter up with the Southern Pacific with a view to getting the company to withdraw ELECT LAYMAN PRESBYTERIAN MODERATOR Eugene, Ore., July 21 OF) Elder J.

Thousands in quest ol the $2 and $3 bleacher seats had gathered in the vicinity of the stadium by early afternoon. The sale of about 12.000 bleacher seats was to start at 3:30 D. m. - Many ol the bieacner xans were in line for hours, a group of eleven having taken up th2 vigil as early as 4 a.m. The main bout, Rlckard an nounced, will be put on at 9:30 p eastern daylight time, instead of 10 p. m., as originally scheduled.

Bucharest, Rumania, July 21. l&i A whole nation mourned today for its king as the body of Ferdinand lay in the great hall of the castle at Sinaia, with officers of a local moun tain regiment standing guard.

State troops throughout the coun try have sworn their allegiance to the new regime and the capital and country are calm.

When the copy of the abandon ment application was received it was evidently filed away with scarcely more than the cursory at tention of the commissioners. That they could not have studied it Is amply demonstrated by the fact that when the Monmouth delega tion called to inquire what action the commission contemplated tak ing they were informed that Mon mouth was not on the line the com pany proposed to abandon, and an announcement to that effect was made to the press at the office of the commission ERKOR PASSED OVER In the chart accompanying the application the company had des ignated Monmouth as being on the Falls City branch, several miles: from its actual location, and it was, not until after the commissions announcement had been made that the error was detected by the Cap ital Journal and called to the at tention of the commission, which subsequently informed the Mon mouth delegation mat u wouia en ter a protest and ask for a hearing.
