ISIS MANAGER
GfTS BI6 JOS.
GILBERT SCHOOL
WILL BE ENLAR6ED.
l«nts loses one ot its liest business
man this week, in a certain way.
Hs
got an appointment the middle of last
week to a Hne position on the North
Bank Railroad, and Its allied lines.
And the liest part of It Is that Mr.
Freeman wss practically as much sur
prised to gel the appointment as any
onsets« was to hear of it. Barely in
troduced to the managers of the road,
and wlih little more than the meution
of the position, be received notice sever
al days later that he had lieeu splint
ed to take care ot the job. He will
have charge of the publicity work ot
the system in Oregon and Washington.
Mr. Freeman is not a new man at
such work. He has held similar posi
tions with other roads and was for
three seasons, manager at the Oaks. He
is fully aware of the responsibilities
that will rest upon ills shoulders, yet
he feels that his ex|>erieoce
will
warrant his acceptance of the offer.
He has held the leading office in the
Eugeus Commercial Club, was a prom
inent officer at the l-ewis and Clark
Fair, baa done considerable newspaper
work, and all in all will be just the
man for the job.
But the lais? Well it will continue
to e«rve the people of Lent* just a*
usual. Mrs. Freeman is a practical
show “man" herself and will have
charge of the theatre and will have
competent asvintance.
The amuse
ments that have been presented at this
popular place will continue to come on
and perhaps Mrs. Freeman will prove
to be even a heller entertainer than
wa* the "Freeman Company.”
It waa voted at ths school meeting at
Gilbert's Monday to add four mors
rooms to tbe school bouse. They now
have three rooms, but one of them is
boused in the basement. Tbe addition
will require another teacher and tbe
board ia considering applicants.
Gilbert* has grown from a little one
room school witbin tbe last eight years.
It is indicative of tbe growth of popula
tion in the neighborhood to realize that
the school population has increased to
the extent that it requires
four
teachers. It is with pleasure that the
residents provide for the increase.
Gilberts baa been one of the beet
schools in tbe county for a long time.
They make a practice o! employing tbe
beet teachers and keeping them severe I
terms. Thia raises their schools to tbe
city standard and produces results ac
cordingly.
Every year sees a nice
class complete the eight grade work,
and pest graduates have a well or
ganized alumni association which ha*
an annual reunion. In this, also, it is
an exception to country districts.
