ALADDIN'S LAMP When to the joys and woes of earth Aladdin said goodby He took his precious silver lamp . And hung it in the sky. Its magic rays convert the Bands Along the beach to gold, And scattered bits of broken glass - To gems of worth untold. It changes all the old tin cans To platinum so bright, And makes the homliest of girls An hour! in its light. -And that is why on summer nights So many couples spoon. Behold, they see each other by Aladdin's lamp, the moon. Minna Irving in New York Sun. Beaverton Teacher Being Considered as Sacceuor to N. A. Frost, Who Has Resigned. Who will succeed N. A. Frost, who has recently resigned as County Superintendent of Washington County, to take effect October 10? There is no dearth of teachers who would be willing to take the place, but it seems likely that it will be a woman. Among those most promi nently mentioned are Mrs. L. B. Wil son of Beaverton, Mrs, Archie Bryant of Forest urove and Mrs. Joaephme Case Hillsboro.' All three are capable teachers, all have had suc cessful experience in the county and each iB backed by friends who are in fluential throughout the county. Superintendent Frost will teach school the coming year, having been engaged by his home district, the Watts school. No reason is given for his resignation but it is under stood that the Bmall salary and ex-, acting requirements of the position, coupled with the refusal of people in the county to permit tho salary in-, crease made by the legislature to go j into effect, led to his return to the , schoolroom. 1 The salary of the position is $1200 ! a year with a limited allowance for clerk hire. Mr. Frost was appointed to the office several years ago when B. W. Barnes resigned and was later elected to the office at the general 1 election. He was active in the ef-! fort to have the office recognized as one of equal importance with other I eounty offices. The many friends of Mrs. Wilson in this locality will urge her appoint' ment and the County Court will be able to find no more enthusiastic and conscientious teacher for the place. 3i. i iw - T- .' .',4,. , ....

One of the worst Bea disasters in many years occurred off the Califor nia shore near Eureka, on Saturday night when 38 people were drowned when the steamer Alaska of the San Francisco & Portland SteamshiD com pany, bound from Portland to San Francisco, sank 80 minutes after crashing into the rocks of Blunt's reef, 40 miles south of Eureka. The steamer carried a larre number of passengers and among thebi was a Washington County girl, Frona Er- ker, of Cornelius, who narrowly es caped with her life. Miss Ei-ker is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Er- ker, of Cornelius, and she was on her way to San Diego, California, in com pany with her sister, Mrs. Emma Wylander, and daughter. Mrs. Wy lander and daughter escaned untn. jirred, and although nrst-repdrts stat ed that Miss Erker was quite badly injured, she was able to go on her way to San Diego. Sunday's Oregonian contained the following concerning Miss Erker's ac cident: 'Eighteen-year-old Frona ErVnrnf Cornelius, Or.,, survivor of the Uner Alaska, tonight was in a hospital with her chest crushed and her bodv oth erwise badly bruised as the result of injuries received when she was caught between a lifeboat and the sinking ship after being thrown into fhe water.
