3 The Oregon Magazine Hit of 1909 8GHOOL8 AHb AIDED. Beginning in the January issue of HUMAN LIFE,the Magazine Alx>ut People, and running through the twelve months of 1909 will be published a story of his boyhood by llomer Davenport, cartoonist, traveler, humorist, lecturer and man of many stories. The scene of Mr. Davenport's boyhood and young manhood is laid in Oregon and covers many of the people that are well known there today. Mr. Davenport, for pure and native humor, is the superior of any we have ever met since the days of Artemus Ward. Those who fellow Mr. Davenport through this year's issues of HUMAN LIFE will remember 1909 as the year of laughs. Mr. Davenport's articles will be illustrated by himself, and the pictures he has drawn, representative of his many delightful — that is, delightful to read about—adven tures, will constitute not the least part of the fun. If you want to read this story from the beginning, if you want to see Mr. Daven port’s pictures of himself from early boyhood to manhood, his father, his family, and all of his Oregon friends, as only Mr. Davenport can draw them, be sure your name is entered as a subscriber to HUMAN LIFE—the best magazine, for the money, ever published. Mr. Davenport starts his story at a very early age when his father tells him that they are to move from their farm in Salem, Oregon, to Silverton, Oregon. This is a burg of some three hundred people. Mr. Davenport, in his story, states that he feels that the city is calling them and that his opportunities for studying art in the Ijitin Quarter of Silverton will be exceptionally good. I he story will carry Mr. Davenport up to his San Francisco days, when he made his first big hit as a cartoonist. COOS BAY ASKS HARRIMAN. Several Good Law* War* Passed at Wants to Know What Ha Means by 4 Recent Legislative Bastion. Par Cent Guaranies. Salom Ths following la a ay nopals of th« rhangva mail« in the school Isws by the last legislature: Every district In the state must maintain at least six months of school each year. A county court of each county must levy a tax for school pur |H>aea that wili produce an amount which will aggregate at least *7 for «sen child of school age. If a district's share of this sum does not amount to $300 (six months at $50 per month), then the county court must levy upon the property of such district a special tax large enough to produce the differ ence; provided that such special tax levy dues not exceed a 6-mill tax. If the district's share of the county school fund and the amount raised by a 6-niill tax does not amount to $300, then the county court must transfer from the general county fund to the special fund of such district an amount that will equal the difference. The ap|iortionmont to each district is made lino instead of $50 before the |»r capita distribution is made. Another change provides that a county at any general election may vote upon the question of creating a county high school fund. When such fund has been created it la placed under the control of a county high school tioard, consisting of m«m>>ers of the County court, the county treasurer at any general election may vote upon the question of creating a county high school fund. When such fund has been created it is placed under the control of a county high school board, consist ing of members and the county school superintendent. County superintendents are given auth ority to make a partial apportion ment of the money to any district upon the request of the board of directors of such district. Secret societies, including fraterni ties ami sororities, which may now or hereafter exist in any of the public schools of the state, including high schools, are declared unlawful. The governor shall ap|M>int by the first Monday in July, 19i>9, a board of live members, called the Hoard of Higher Curricula. The members shall serve without pey, excepting traveling expenses. The duty of the lioard shall be to determine what courses of studies -of departments shsll not be duplicated In the higher educational institutions ..f < In-gon, It shall be the duty of each institution to conform thereto. Any changes that are made shall be come effective at the beginning of the school year following such determina tion. The outside doors and other exits of all school buildings shall be so swung and hinged that they shall open out ward. Helps Advertise Oregon. Portland Passenger traffic officials of the Hill and Harriman lines center ing in Portland estimate that fully 50,- OOO people will be brought to the Norhtwe t during the present colonist season, and that a majority of them will settle in territory tributary to the Rose City. The west bound colonist rate of $25 from Missouri river points which kas been awarded for thia year is lower than it has been in years and this is likely to prove a strong impetus in bringing new settlers to Oregon. The Portland Rose festival is sending out 250,000 pieces of illustrated litera ture to help induce would-be homeaeek- ers to come to Oregon, ano announces that any person desiring literature of this character to send away may have it by simply sending a |«>st card to festival headquarters in thia city. This literature is artistic in the extreme and is most convincing in addition. No Dividends Till March 10. l.a Grande There will be no divi dends issued by the receivership of the Farmers A Traders National bank until March 19, at which time a 45 per cent dividend will tie issued to depositors. When Mr. Niedncr asked for blank cer tificates he informed the receiver that it would be possible to issue a 40 per cent dividend on Mnrch 1, and a 45 per cent dividend on March 19, when addi tional assessments of shareholders will tie at the disposal of the receiver. With this information as a basis to work with, the comptroller decreed that the receiver wait until March 19, and issue the 45 per cent dividend. Build Warehouse at Echo. Echo Through an arrangement with the O. R. A N. the section houses are to be removed to make room for a large warehou ’• to be erected in connection with the wool scouring plant. This will relieve the necessity of construct ing a switch to the scouring mills. H. H. Gillette has returned from Portland, where he purchased the machinery for his churn factory and rolling mills and expects to have it erected and running very soon. Support Crater Lake Schema. Medford Petitions asking the Jack- aon county court to appropriate $70,0tH) for the construction of the Crater lake road, for which the state has appropri ated $100,000 contingent upon a $100,- 000 appropriation from Jackson and Klamath counties, have been placed in circulation and are meeting with great success. , Adams Farmer Sells Grain. Adams J. Gross has sold the balance of hie last season's wheat crop, nearly 2,000 bushels, to the Kerr-Gifford com pany at 91 S cents a bushel. Marshfield The Chamber of com merce of Marahfleld and North Band are somewhat mystified al |ln- wording of the tab-gram sent by E. H. Harri man to Governor Chamtierlain regard ing railway construction in Oregon. Mr. Harriman speaks of wanting a guarantee of 4 per cent on the cost of building a line to Coos bay. The com mittee from Coos bay which visited the magnate last fall did not understand that Harriman wanted any guarantee, but simply an assurance that there would be sufficient business to give that interest on the amount to lie in vested. Colonel Holabird, a repreeen tative of Harriman, came to Cooe bay ami waa furnished figures and the peo j pie have liven waiting Harriman's de- j cision as to whether the showing war- | ranted the Immediate construction of1 the railroad. The chambers of commerce have therefore sent an inquiry to Harriman asking what further action is required of the people in order to hasten the building of the line. New Theater for Pendleton. Pendleton That a new opera house will be built and will be in readineaa for use next fall is the I m -lief of C. J. Mitchell, manager of the present thea ter.

In connection with the plana for a new theater is the suggestion that the local ledge of Elka li-aae or purchase the sec ond story of the present opera house. Ditch Break Floods Echo. Pendleton Echo was flooded with water as a result of a break in the gov ernment ditch at that point The break occurred just above the depot and the water rushed down the hill at a tre mendous speed. After the water was shut off at the intake, one mile and a half distant, water flowing at the rate > of HU second feet hail yet to find its way 1 into the streets. A large portion of ] the town was protected by the railroad grade, which turned the flood. “Portland had tired me out and the kind bartender of the St. Charles Hotel let me sleep on the billiard table, for which I waa later di »charged from the Good Templar^a Ixadge in Silverton** Silverton Trombone Band.
