It it well known by all who are ac quainted with the geography of Linn county, that the country lying be tween Brownsville anil Sweet Home while being an old settled country, in only sparsely settled, the Cali pooia valley being only a narrow val ley, and most of the surrounding country being timber and not an ag ricultural country. To begin with, soon after the high v'hool law . was adopted in Linn county. School Superintendent Jack ioii visited Crawfordtville and brought about the establishment of a high school, at Crawfordtville. So far as I know, there was no attempt to es tablish a Union High school, not withstanding Crawfordtville school district has never had more than 125 people of school age, and since the establishment of the high school, hat most of the time bad lets than 100 in that particular district. The peo ple of Crawfordtville were assured by the tnperintendent (as I under stand it) that a special tax would not be necessary in order to maintain the school; that the moiir-jr to maintain the school would come from th votinly high tchool fund.

After the high school had been es tablished, it was found that the mon ey derived from the county school fund was not sufficient in amount to maintain the tchool, even with only one teacher for the four grades, and it became necessary to vote a special tax on the tax payers of Crawfordt ville distrirt to attist in paying the salary of the teacher, to rent a school room, and defray other expenses con nected with the maintenance of a high school at that place. The taxpayers of Crawfordsvilte did, and have since, annually voted lo tax themselves to maintain the high school, the students from the surrounding districts, including Hol ly, having the privilege to attend the Crawfordtville high school, the tax payers of those surrounding districts not being taxed to defray any part of the expenses of maintaining the school, though all of the districts in thai part of the county were re ceiving the benefit. .

This material that ia unsurpass ed for summer dresses, ia here in a splendid assortment of pat terns. Comes full 26 inches wide, at per ysrd. Crawfordtville two years ago, the matter of establishing a union high school of all of those districts was discussed and the board was instruct ed to call a meeting of the several districts to take itept to bring about the establishment of a union high school, including all of the district in that locality, which, when all com bined, would not have more than enough undents above the 8th grade to juttify the maintenance of a high school. The large amount of taxable prop erty in the several districts would make it a comparatively light burden inthe way of taxation, a large per centage of the property being timber land owned by non-residents. It was understood that a meeting would be called -during the fall of the year, and an endeavor made to bring about the cooperation of all of 'the districts in establishing a union high school. : Soon after the school meeting just mentioned, I met Mr. Henry Renni ger, and also Mr. R. E. Warner of Holly, at the Pioneers' Picnic at Brownsville. I told them what had been done at the school meeting in regard to a union high school, and they asked me where the school house would be located. I told them. where the majority of the people vol ed for it to be. They said that was fair, and promised their active sup port in the undertaking. Before the tchool board of Craw- fordsville had taken any action, and during the busy harvest season, some of the citiiens of the Holly country conceived the idea of calling a meet ing of the three districts lying east of Craw fordsville. and forming a union high school, thereby cutting off th Tour districts lying west from any benefit of the several townships of timber land lying east, which is sub ject to taxation. They gave as their reason for calling the meeting, that they feared if they went in with the other four districts, that the school bouse would not be located at Holly. It is simply a question with some of them as to where the school house should be located. . Mr. Renniger and his associates take the ground that there is not more than enough students past the flth grade in all the districts, to main tain a successful high school, and that it it wrong to tax the non-resl dent timber owners to maintain i high school for the small number of children that would rttend the high school comprising only the three dis trictt that would attempt to form a union at Holly. Those favoring the Holly high school proposition at a matter of lo cal pride, teem, to prefer a tmall high school at Holly, rather than a large one made up of all of the seven dis tricts. The population is so small and is so badly scattered that it is very dif ficult to carry on any public enter Tf II 1911 prise or institution successfully. It fl .-ertainly requires the support of the entire population of the Calapooi valley to make a success of almost anything of a public nature. Holly has a very successful grange, being supported by members from the entire surrounding country. Crawfordtville has a very successful and strong Odd Fellows lodge deriv ing ils membership from the entire surrounding country. That locality could not maintain two tuccettful Granges nor two tuccettful Odd Fel low lodges. There are six separate church orga nizations in that locality, all weak numerically and financially. None of them maintain a pattotr; but united, they might be able to maintain a res ident pastor. When there is a death or a wedding, they are compelled to import a preacher to perform the ceremony or administer the rites. I am not writing this letter in a spirit of criticism towards anyone, believing the motives of the different parlies to be pretty much the same, and the spirit manifested by them commendible; but I am writing this simply to correct the erroneous im pression that those opposing the Hol ly high school are opposed to pro gress or lo higher education. They believe that if the lax payers arc to be taxed to maintain a high school sys tem in that locality, that the money should not be wasted on several in efficient schools, and that the stu dents attending such school are enti tled lo good teachers and sufficient apparatus to enable them to do thor ough work. With many of us, it is immaterial as to where the school should be lo cated. With the large amount of tax able property in that locality, the stu dents should be conveyed to and from school, and a good tchool maintained al a much lower rate of taxation than mott districts now pay. Unless the population increases very rapidly. there wilt not be enough students above the 8th grade, to maining two successful high schools. It is unfortunate that our county school superintendent hat attempted to establish two high schools in that locality. The effort so far, has only resulted in division and animosity, when cooperation and harmony is necessary. THEDA BARA HARD PART. Plays Character of Great Strength and Sinister Fascination in " Kr eutxer Sonata" Theda Bar a. the famous Parision emotional actress from the Theatre Antoine, Paris, the Boulevard's play house of thrills, who created a veri table earthquake of comment through out the country for her marvelous!)' telling performance of The Vampire. "A Fool There Was." a William Fox production, repeats her gripping characterization of that role in her rendition of Celia in the William Fox picturization of Tolstoi's "The Kreutz er Sonata." This picture version of the Russian dramatist's most vital work is directed by Herbert Brenon, and released by the Fox Film Cor poraiion, successor to the Box Office Attraction company. Celia Friendlander. the beautiful and ruthlessly passionate girl, who, with' out scruple, breaks the heart of the faithful Miriam, so that she may pos sess herself of Miriam's husband Gregor, the brilliant violinist, is one of the strongest screen parts ever written and in many ways the most stratling and remarkable. Miss Ba n's powers, developed in the compa nies of Bernhardt, Jane Hading, and other famous French actresses as well as during her seasons as leading woman of the world-renowned An toine and Gymnase TheMres, Paris, were necer displayed, even in the memorable "A Fool There Was," to more transcendent advantage than in Tolsto's great work as it it teen up on the screen. With cruel, serpent like cunning. Celia weaves her coils about the infatuated Gregor. She casts her unbreakable spell of beauty and fascination over him until Gregor forgets everything in order that h; may be in her arms.' From the farm in Russia, where, as a wealthy land owner's adopted daughter, she first meets Gregor and charms him by playing "Kreutzer Sonata," to the last throbbing scene of the play where she and Gregor are trapped by Mir iam and, in a scene so thrilling as to be almost painful in its intensity, meet their deserts, Miss Bara's su perb art never falters, nor steps aside. Her rendition of the parts is bound to make "Kreutzer Sonata one of the most discussed picturizations yet pro duced. Col. Hofer Her Col. E. Hofer and son, R. M. Ho fer, arrived here last evening from Newport, where they have been gel ting their tummer cottage at Agate Beach in condition for the teaton.

J. McN'augh tan. Reade Dowlin, the James Hill of the Corvallis & Eastern, plays the leading part of Jack Temple, a liar, and is sure to bring down the house with tome of his funny scenes. The work of Mrs. P. R. Kelly is too well known to need further men tion but she will be seen to greater advantage in the part of Mrs. Jack Temple than ever before. It it a part that gives wide scope for her natural ability, going rapidly in a mix-up of comedy, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from laughter to tears. There also will be a pleasant sur prise for theatre goers in Mitt Lou ise Pirtle and Mitt Phyllis Goint who play the parts of Mrs. Frank Fuller and Dorothy, Mrs Temple's sister. Aa for Mrs John Brown, Christian name Martha, who is a veritable hu man cyclone, it could never have been put into more capable hands than those of Miss Minerva Speer. The remainder of the cast are all evenly balanced and with special scen ery and lighting effects, pretty cos tumes, a twelve piece orchestra and a riot of musical specialties between acts, will produce a show worthy of any ones patronage.
