SCAPPOSE RAISING POTATOES
Acreage Increased and Yield Above '
Cncml Averaft
The reclaimed land of the Scap
pone diking district, a few miles
northwest of Portland, k establish
ing a reputation for large fields and
mrge yieins of potatoes. Last year
(here were 180 acres planted in
that acetlon- and this year the plant
ings will be enlarged to 220 acres.
The yield in the rich silt of that re
gion is quit heavy, and sometimer
reaching 500 bushels to the acre, but
the average will be considerably less.
A. J. Ryan and wife, the latter
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. II. E.
Wray, and who live at Orchards,
Washington, were visitors at the
1 Wrny ranch over Sunday.

Monday morning next a band of
workers will begin leveling and frad
ing the High school grouds prepare-
tory to making football field. The
sage brush bordering the tract has
already been removed and when
men with teams, tools and unbound
cd ambition gather .next Monday
morning th8 tract will be placed ia
a condition bordering perfection.
All who have the Interest of the

This will be a community move
ment and one that has long been
needed. In order to make achool
popular a good football field is nee
cssary. Heretofore football games
have been played on the hill above
the reservoir. That place was hard
of approach, dusty and contained no
accommodations for spectators.
Good games were impossible and as
result attendance was always
small. With a field "adjacent to the
school, level and with proper seat
ing arrangements many more would
bo attracted to track event, football,
and baseball games. As a result the
student body would be enabled to
Improve and keep up the field in a
manner befitting the statu of our
schools. Turn out, all, and ... assist
in a most laudable endeavor.

dk missal by the achool board of
Diatict No. 40 of Wasco county.
Oregon, has been surtained because
Of lack of evidence of the character
which I believe the achool lawa de
mand in order to dismiss a teacher
from a contract.
i "Gross dereliction of duty or mi
conduct on the part of a teacher it
f seems to me would be needed in the
fvldence. I have read the trans
Ctipt of the evidence, also heard the
testimony given at the hearing. No
testimony to prove gross dereliction
of duty or misconduct was given.
"Now to quote from the , com
plaint: "The said S. D. Stepheru
did swear and use obscene lang
uage." No evidence was produced
to prove that said S. D. Stephens
swore. There was evidence produc
ed to prove that said S. D. Stephens
used obscene, language. Now to
quote from the di: missal order:
'The said S. D. Stephens did accord
ing to his own admission use obscene
language m the presence ofjiiihfK
Kbooi ayvn! -wlttToViMt
there was no evil' intent inthe use"
of aaid language" I do think that
the obrcene words were vulgar and
should not "nave been used; how
ever, they were used during a re
primand of five boya over their
conduct after some girls had com
plained to Mrs. Stephens and she
had asked S. D. Stephens to talk to
the boys. Such language as tired
was ill-chosen and has no place in
school, but any man who has been in
the army or has heard a lecture to
men has heard them used.
"To quote from the dismissal or
der 'We also find that the said S.
fA, Stephens hRs been unduly famil
iar with some of the high school
girla.of Tygh Valley, Oregon, not in
any . sense criminal, but a sort of
rowdyism In an apparent attempt to
be a good pal . In justice to the
girls of Tygh Valley high school, al
so Mr. Steohan" I want, in stuto
) that there was not one word of evi
dence given that would even attempt
to prove any criminal action. I am
sorry that such stories have gone
out I do feel that S. P. Stephens
has lacked the necessary reserve for
a man in his position.
"I am indeed rorry that this con
dition hag come up in onr county,
as it is not only damaging to the
school, but neighbors take sides and
community spirit is harmed."
Much of the lumber in old houses
is as sound as the day it was install
ed, and in fact, frequently will be
found to be a. better construction
material that when it was firrt used.
This is because of Its years of sea
soning. ,
Owners of old homes, therefore,
have an assured value in their homes
which it will pay thera to make the
moLt of. Homes of this type de
mand only the assistance of comnet-
ent de-igners and mechanics to alter
them and trasform them into mod
ern, liveable homes, and thia can
be accomplished at a cost that will
more that repay the investment
made.
