9 -f 6 10 CT 0u o'o 0 Vol. VII The Daily Evening Telegram and Monmouth Herald both one REGULAR PORTUND LETTER Oregon Congressmen Investi gating Land Grant Case KUtTNOMAH COUNTY IMPROVING ROADS Oregon Wins Medals at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco Portland, Ore., June 29. In view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Cflurt in the Oregon & California"' land grant case, the matter has be come one for action by the Citi zens of this state. Some decision must be arrived at by Congress within six months from the date of the Supreme Court decision, and five months of that time will elapse before the beginning of the next session of Congress, leaving only one month in which to have the question acted upon by both houses. In order to ex pedite matters and to secure all necessary data, Oregon's con gressional delegation, consisting of two senators and three repre sentatives, will co-operate with the Portland Chamber of Com merce and a series of conferences will be held to determine the standing of settlers and other in terested parties in each county in which the disputed land is lo cated. It is believed that by taking vigorous action during the Summer and Fall all facts and figures can be collected and tab ulated in such form that Congress will be able to reach a decision without delay. As on this de cision depends the winning or losing by Oregon of several mil lion dollars, it is of the utmost importance that no time be lost in starting this investigation. No time has been lost by the road authorities of Multnomah County in taking advantage of the permission, granted by the people of this part of the state at the recent election, to spend , $1,250,000 in paving county roads. On Monday, June 21, the Warren Construction Company signed a contract in the office of Road master Yeon, and three hours later work had been started on the first unit of Sandy Road, just outside the city limits. Two days later the finishing coat had been applied to this section and pre liminary work on the next unit 'as well under way. Contracts for paving the Columbia High way and other county roads were S'Rned the same day and work started with almost equal prompt ness.

Mr. Elliott is a mem ber of the firm, to be known as Elliott & Eddy, who recently purchased the store of Weather bee & Jones. His long experi ence with this eastern firm fits him for the business acquired and we have every reason to be lieve that he will make good. His 'partner, Mr. Eddy, is at present engaged in business at Willamini. Both are young men with pleasing personalities and up-to-date business methods which insures a continuation of a well established business. -Enterprise.

Polk County, Oregon, Friday, STATE NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES Reception for New Students Last Saturday Night It ii Expected That the 50.0 "Mark Will Be Reached By rVf End of the Week The first social event of the Summer School was the reception tendered the new .students by President and Mrs. Ackerman. The gymnasium was transformed into a veritable drawing room and the walls were beautiful with maple boughs and pennants. There were pennants for the 0reRon Normal Scho1 and one r each county in the state as we" 33 one honoring Oregon's Gut'sts- under which- when the 8tuden,s were asked to 8up sixteen members of the bummer r i l i by President and Mrs Ackerman son, vvesc, Porter and Messrs, Arehart, Winters and Ranie Burkhead who did much to make the new students feel at home. The first part of the evening's program consisted of a vocal solo by Miss Hoham after which Presi dent Ackerman welcomed the Summer School students to the Normal in his usual happy man ner, to which Mr. Moore of Mult nomah County, responded. Mr. Moore paid a high tribute to the work of the Normal and urged the students to put therr best in to their work for the value to them would be inestimable, clos ing with Elbert Hubbard's nreachment. that "Shirkers get naid what they are worth." Mr, Macy of Independence, followed with a vocal solo. Mr. Butler then announced that the students would form in line in counties and headed by their county pen nant join the Faculty, led by President Ackerman and Miss Parrott, in a grand march. The marching, countermarching and serpentining of the nearly five students through the UUllWiv-v. lighted campus was most effec- tive. The return to the gym nasium was followed by a solo by Mr fiilmore. Punch and wafers wpre then served to the guests, after which all said good-night feeling that all were friends and all members of the Oregon Nor mal School. The music by the Studennioyer rchgstra.of Salem added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Miss May Sevis .of Beaver Falls. Pennsylvania, has been the house guest of Miss Todd for the past week. Mr. C H. Jones, Editor of the Oregon Teacher's Monthly, spent two days of this week at the Normal in the interest of his July 2, 1915 Salem Cherry Fair Salem, Ore., July 1. Visitors at the Salem Cherry Fair held July 2 and 3, and with which is combined a real old fashioned Fourth of July celebration, will have an unusual treat in seeing Fred De Kor, one of the best known and most spectacular bird men in the country. De Kor will fly from the Fair Grounds at Salem on the afternoon of July 3; he calls himself the "Dare devil of the Air," and by all ac counts lives up to his reputation thoroughly. Glides, dips and flops are among the least showy of De Kor's stunts in the air. The famous ''loop the loop" is performed, as well as spiral and zig-zag flights. Flying upside down he skims through the air with swallow like smoothness and speed. His exhibition gives a good idea of the advance of aviation in the last few years, and indicates why thp hirrl men have nlaved such a ' large part in the European con flict - To match the speed demon in the air, there has been arranged for the same afternoon, motor cycle contests, to be staged on the mile track at the Fair Grounds. The foremost speed artists of the country are , to be present to take part in the exhi bition. As there is probably nothing faster on wheels than the demoniac little motorcycle, a meet full of thrills and plenty of excitement is assured. "I am practically willing to ad mit," said F. G. Deckabach, Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, "that I believe that this Cherry Fair will be the most successful from the point of view of entirely meritorious attractions, that has ever been staged in Salem. Every angle of the arrangements is progres sing satisfactorily, and we have even pledged the weather man to good behavior." The two busy days of the Cherry Fair are to be followed by a solid week of the Salem Chautauqua, which is to be held July 5-12. It is thought that many from the surrounding country will probably plan to spend ten days in Salem, and take in the entire bill. publications. Miss West spent the week-end in Portland. It is very gratifying to those interested in better rural schools to note the crowded classes in Rural Methods. This certainly augurs well for the future. The students are continuing to enroll. The 500 mark will prob ably be reached tke end of the week. The Court Grawps met on Monday eveijin and effected their organizations. All are look ing forward to the "Stunt Even ing" whittfi has come to be one of the big events of trg Summer School.

This noted company held forth there last year for a week, and the porspects are that the pleas ures and benefits this season will excel their previous visit. Speakers of wide reputation and merit will be in attndence, and not the least feature, will be the presence of Ciricillo's famous band W delight lovers Of excel lent music. Dallas Band Gave Concert Some forty autoes, filled with chautauqua boosters from Dallas, among whom were the members of the Dallas band, came over on Monday evening and the band gave a concert on the Normal campus. There were COO or 700 people out to enjoy the music, but the main object of the visitors was to invite citizens of this vicinity and students of the Normal to visit the Chatauqua at Dallas the coming week. Boys Invade Campus For the third time Oregon grade school boys have come to the O. A. C. campus to study, work and play. They learn to know the common field crops, how to produce, harvest and utilize some of them, and to know some of the most common insects and diseases of orchard, field and garden. Some of the smaller boys get a little homesick for the first few days but' this soon wears off and all are sorry when the time comes to leave. Boy Badly Injured There was an accident in Inde pendence a couple of days ago in which a youth was jammed be tween two autos and very seriously injured. It appears that each auto was trying to avoid collision with the boy on the bicycle with the result that the boy was caught between the autos in a head-on collision. Pastor at Christian Church George C. Ritchey of Newberg has been secured as pastor of the Christian church here and will move to this place about July 11. A Mr. Jones filled the pulpit last Sunday and will preach here again next Sunday.
