TAME SESSION
SEEN TONIGHT
Monday night's session of the city
council will be a decidedly tame af
fair If the dope offered by various
members of that body and several
city officials to a true index of busi
ness pending before the aldermen.
The public Is probably more inter
ested In the water situation than
anything else just now, and several
meetings of the utilities committee
on the Baar As Cunningham report
have been held. One of these took
the shape of a public meeting. But
no report on the water question will
be made by the committee Monday
night, according to Alderman Chris
Kowits, chairman of the committee,
and City Attorney W. H. Trtndle.
Before doing anything further
with the water matter the commit'
tee members want to consult with
officials of the Oregon Pulp & Pa
per company, particularly with Fred
W. Leadbetter. Mr. Leadbetter, how
ever, has been out of the state for
some time and will not be back in
Salem until sometime Monday
night. While committee members ex.
pect to consult with him as soon as
possible to ascertain whether the
paper mill might become a patron
of a municipally-owned city water
system, there will be no further con
ferences on the subject until Wed
nesday night.
One issue that has taken consid
erable of the council's time and
which may be cleaned up Monday
night is the Water street vacation
matter in which several residents
are interested both for and against
the requested vacation.

Monday.
Flandin, in an interview, said
that nations such as the United

their reparations as they wished,
but that France Intended to insist
on Germany's mating the scheduled

"If world prosperity could be re

ANOTHER WAR
SHAKES SALEM
The milk war Is nicety over. Trou
ble in the Balkans evidently has
been averted for the summer. By
settlement of the case of the Am
erican aviators In Japan seemingly
diplomatic relations between that
country and this will not be severed.
Just as quiet and amicable rela
tions seemed to have been estab
lished between peoples and the dove
of peace was fluttering to Ms heart's
content, then entered LeRoy Schoett
ler on the scene and fired the first
gun in a new hollyhock war.
LeRoy says he has hollyhocks
blooming In his back yard which
nave attained the height of 14 feet
that Is the hollyhocks, not the
oacK yard.
It is admitted on all sides that
hollyhocks which attain a height of
14 feet are some useable hollyhocks
and his friends are commending
Lertoy on the accomplishment,
But It Is also as certain as the
night follows the day. that in some
other back yard there are hollyhocks
wnicn nave attained the height of
14 feet 6 inches, and unquestionably
in otner oack yards there are holly
hocks that are having their tips
fanned by breezes 15 feet above
ground. In preceding hollyhock wars
wnicn nave shattered otherwise
peaceful and amicable Salem au
tumns, hollyhocks have been known
to rear their heads to heights even
approximately n feet.
But if LeRoy insists on launching
a new hollyhock war this season, the
first gun has been fired, the shock
troops are ready so bring on the
hollyhocks.

ed Clark Fork river Into Dry Gulch.
An hour or so later the wind shift

around the town and fanning major
blazes on two aides, of the town.
Sunday night the wind died again

however, to flee.

CHINESE SEEK
. WHEAT TERMS
Washington (flt The Chinese
government laid before the Ameri
can government Monday an in
formal inquiry to ascertain the
quantity of wheat available on cred
it terms for flood stricken areas
in China.
The Inquiry was cabled to the
state department by the American
consulate at Nanking. The com
munication did not specify the
amount of wheat which would be
required nor did it offer a concrete
proposition for purchase. .
Officials described the Chinese
suggestion as having been on a
business basis,'r contemplating sale
of wheat stocks on credit for flood
ufferers in the Yangtse river val
ley. State department officials said
the question of distribution wheih
has stood tn the way of furnishing
wheat to famine stricken areas in
the Interior In the past, would not
exist In tho present instance since
the Hood stricken areas were on
the Yangtse river, thus facilitating
transportation.
The Inquiry will be turned over to
the farm board.
Increasing seriousness of the
Yangtse floods was reported to the
state department Monday by the
American consulate at Hankow.
Dikes have broken at Wuchang,
the Japanese concession was flood
ed and electrical current has fail
ed in the old German concession.
The consul reported uneasiness
In Hankow over possible failure of
the power supply.
Two English language papers at
Hankow were forced to discontinue
because of high water. All build
ings were undergoing tests to as

Old Books Wanted
- By Bend District
Bend. Ore., 07 Superintendent
O. W. Ager, of th Bend public
schools, has Issued an appeal to
parents of Bend students to donate
used text books for the coming
school year.
The school budget provided 3M0
for texts but that amount will buy
only about one-third the number of
books needed for the elementary
grades. Ager estimated the dona
tion of old books would save the
district taxpayers about $4000 this
fall.

SCHOOL BOOK
BURDEN LIGHT
Parents of children attending
public grade schools will be re
lieved of the burden mt baying
text books this fall, according to
City School Superintendent George
Hug. The active support of parents
in donating used school books to
the local school system, together
with the $5200 appropriated by the
school board for purchasing text
books, will make th local schools
first year tinder the states new
text book law a successful on.
Apprehension was felt when th
text book law was first passed that
the local schools would have oth
er expenditures curtailed tn order
to provide funds for school books.
Plans alap were made to provide
text books for lust the first thre
grades. Response In donating used
books to the city schools has been
so generous, however, that public
owned text books for all elementary
grades are assured and a number
of classes In the Junior high school
will use th public's books.
Part of the Junior high scnool
and all of the senior high school
classes will hare to provide then
own books this year. The English
departments In th high school,
under th direction of Mrs. EUen
Fisher, and tn th two Junior high
schools, under th direction at Miss
L. May Rauch. have created a rent
al system that Superintendent Bug
kelieves could be applied with equal
success to other departments In
the higher schools.
The wastage of nooks, where each
student has one or two books for
each class, could be eliminated
with the paying of a small rental
lee each semester by th students
and the books kept available In th
classrooms, according to Superin
tendent Hug. Such a provisional
system may be suggested at the
opening of the coming semester
September 21, and students and
teachers take advantage of th
suggestion if they wish to.
in connection with the public
text books, all parents are Invited
to donate to the public school sys
tem all school books now in their
homes, for the more books donated,
the smaller will be the demand on
the text book fund. Hug pointed
out that the real demand on the
fund would come within the next
two years, when present books wear
out and have to be replaced.
