And the Free Kinder
garten Question
Were Up Today.
Today the school election has been In
progress. The chief question has been
the acceptance or rejection of the free
kindergarten! as a part' of the public
school system. The -Portland Free Kin
dergarten Association has been actively
at work in behalf of tha movement, the
ladles of the W. C. T. U. have lent their
assistance, and a. number of prominent
bualneaa and professional men have de
voted the day to the support of the
project . ,
The result cannot be judged accurately,
although the- friends of the kindergar
ten are . high In hopes that tha ma
Jrtty will have voted to? ' the lilting of

ONLY ONE CANDIDATE. .
F. E. Beach was the only candidate
for school director, Mr. Bretherton hav
ing wlthdi-awn his name. It Is thought
uie xatt u8 oui one man was a
candidate probably was the causa for
Watty persons remaining away, from the
polls. Those who were urging tha free
kindergartens, therefore, being out In full
force, hope that the absence of opposi
tion that might have been stirred will
carry through their measure.
The polls were opened at 2 o'clock p.

any damage, put her hand several inches
in front of it and pulled the trigger.

to Its readers. Saturday the advance
copy of all the new tariffs reached ths
hands of the freight officials of the O. R
A N. Co. There are but few changes,
the Issuance of . the' tariff having be

80,000 applying on such commodities
salt, cement resin, etc, etc., has been
raised to 40,000 pounds. ,
Without going Into minute details (and
such would practically require a re
publication of tha entire . tariff sheet), it
may be said that a few changes have
been made In the rates on cereal pro
ducts, flour of various kinds, bagging
(cotton), cotton duck 'and drills; furni
ture, beds, beds teds, xhalra, tables, side
boards and chiffoniers,- lamps, pumps.

reached by the stairway, and about 200
feet of floats. Ths structure will be lo
cated far enough out In .the stream to
Insure a- fresh supply of water running

There are enough rooms and lockers
for El bathers at one time, a separate
room being assigned to each person. TWo
large spaces have been left on one side
of the baths to allow for the specta
tors. ,
The office, will be located In the front
of the building, across from which the
refreshment room Is located. The super
intendent while In the office can see any
part of the tank, and If any trouble
occura will be able to see It at once.
There will be separata daya assigned

There is not ths slightest doubt but that
the parade given by the A. 0. , W, and
D. of- H, Tepresentatlvee 8afir.!y even
ing, exceeded, anything of a Mml'ur na
ture yet attempted in this clty.
At least, an hour before the advertised

best possible points of view - Trey did

either, especially in front of the post
office square, opposite the place where
the supreme officers were given the seats
of honor on .raised platforms Inside the
tnclosurf of the Portland Hotel It was
past: this point where the sit divisions
passed In review.
Nearly every window on (he Sixth
street side to the big hotel was a frame
work for living pictures of heads The
verandas were ' aglow with women in
summer costumes, and the bright dashes
of color hare and there added to tha bril
liancy of the scene.
SHOUTS OF PRAISE.
Ths very striking feature of the parade,
of course, was the, starting Quality of tha
men and women Who' have done so much
to make the principles ot the order house
hold words all over this great country.
A noble work haa been done by the or
ganisation, and the members have a right
to feel pride In ita accomplishments.
Aa division after division filed past,
shouta of enthusiasm rent the air, and
handkerchefa were waved in applause
Adventurous boys climbed tho telephone
poles and were so glad that they yelled
themselves hoarse. The line of march
has been so frequently published that
that matter need not be detailed now. A
dosen banda were employed in discours
ing melody along the Tine of march.
A platoon of blue-coated policemen
headed the parade, Succeeded by the com
manding officers of the Third Regiment
band. The parade waa under tha com
mand of Grand Marshal Durham, Hope
