T From the two room school of eight years ago it has grown to a magnificent structure with all the conveniences suggested by modern art and science. Fine, airy rooms, wide hallways, full basement, latest improved heat ing and ventilation, a commod ious assembly hall, offices, and teachers' lunch room are features that will engage the attention and admiration of every patron that attends the opening. More than this, the children will come in for representation. Specimens of their written work, art pro ductions. and manual training creations will be on exhibit. Everyone in the district is now proud of the new school and to day will increase their estimate of its merits. Nor is this all. The old build ing is gone, the grounds are be ing put into shape and it is only a question of a few days when everything outward will be as neat as the rooms and halls with in. The district*can now be proud of’ two buildings—the one at Woodmere called the VS eston schooltis^also done at] a cost of $22.500, containing four rooms, assembly hall, with basement, making within the limits of the old district twentyfour rooms— besides the portion now claimed by Arleta. ATER rates in Lents dis. W trict are on the raise. Just why this should be is not explained satisfactorily. In re ply to inquiries it is answered that Lents has no city tax to pay and as a consequence they feel that we can stand higher water rates. That practically means that the Portland Water Board has taken in hand the regulation of taxes in the Lents district. Portland can well afford to sell water to Lents at Portland rates or even lower. It gets more water now than it can use. All that it collects as water rent from this section is practical'}’ so much clear gain. It is mak ing no extensions of mains and all new branches are being put in at the user’s expense. One or two employes boss the job and collect the coin. Such usur pation of rights and imposition will not prepare this section of the city for annexation. On the other hand it will invite other concerns to try an independent system and place the people in poor mood for a closer relation ship. HE saddest happenings of T the past week from the standpoint of public morality, is the paroting of bank looter My ers. The proprietor of the Her- lad lost no money by the failure of the bank but if he had, he would prefer that it stay lost rather than see such well deserv ed punishment escaped. We presume, however, that there are a lot of people to whom ten or fifteen per-cent of $3500 will look better than Mr. Myers would look in the State boarding house. Neither judge, nor the attor ney for the depositors, have bet tered themselves in our opinion by consenting to this concession in Myers’ favor. HE action of the State Super intendent in trying to or ganize the young people of the state into a producing contest is in line with similar contests else where, contests that are making wonderful changes in the inter est taken in corn, wheat, or veg etable growing or the production T Residence: Tabor ¡t-* 13 of livestock. In less than ten years the South should be pro ducing its own corn and wheat supplies at the present rate of development, and this has grown out of producing contests instala- ted by the department of Agri culture.
