Panama-Pacific exposition In
San Francisco. Such was tho
assurance given by membcra of
a coininltco from the Springfield
Dovcloptnont League nt a moot
ing at tho Eugeno Commercial
club Monday nftornoon. Tho
Springfield committee called up
on a commlttco from tho club to
ascertain what part that city la
expected to take in tho advertis
ing of tho Willamette valley at
tlie exposition and what benefits
tho city Is to receive. M. J. Dur
yen, who Is a leading spirit in the
Willamette Valley Exposition as
sociation, stated 'to tho members
of tho committee that no one
city or county was to bo featured
moro than tho other. Tho eight
counties of tho valley have com
bined for a collective exhibit and
no community will bo better rep
resented than another. In tho
map that has been printed by
" tlio assbclation ovory city and
town, no mater of what size, has
; been printed in tho same size
type.
Inasmuch as Lane county fail
ed to provide the 'necessary
money In tho annual tax budget
to maintain a man at tho exposi
tion, as have tho other seven
counties, the Springfield com
mittee members stated that their
organization would assist tho
Eugeno Commercial club In rais
ing the necessary ?1,350 to keep
a. man there as this county's rep
resentative. It was stated at the
meeting that It is highly prob
able E. M. Warren will be tho
man sent. Ho has had .charge of
Lane county exhibits at numer
ous stato fairs and had chargo
of, tho county exhibit at tho
Lewis and Clark exposition in
Portland In 1900.
Tho members of tho Spring
flold. committee who, were pres
ent at thq meeting were: Mayor
ghas. Scott, Dr. J.- E. Richmond,
V. A. Dill andHoward Parsons.
Those who mot with them wore:
L. L. Goodrich, II. A, Atkinson,
S. Dike Hooper and M. J. Diir-
After tHo conference Dr. Rich
mond said:
V'l bqllpyo tho Willamette Val
lo," proposition is a fair ono, and
think the Eugpno cjub will play
fair wth us. It Is too bad that
the county, did not provldo for
the pay of such a man as tho
6thors have, and it would bo un
reasonable to expect Eugeno to
do the work alono. Tho ldast wo
can do Is to got out and see what
wo can ralso for this purpose,"

DOGS FAIL TO GAIN THEIR FREEDOM -PEDDLERS
CLASSED FOD LICENSE
Springfield dogs must remain
under restraint. So decided the
council at its regular monthly
meeting Monday evening. Tho
council recently passed an or
dinance prohibiting dogs from
running at large, and at the
last session a petition signed by
J CO persons was presented
asking that the ordinance be
suspended, until the'ordlnance
passed by IhcrEugeno city coun
cil could bo tested' in the courts.
This petition waV Immediately
followed by a" remonstrance
Blgued by 2133 citizens protest
ing against -the granting of. the
petition, and the council decided
that it would not touch the or
dinance at this session. It Is
possible that some change al
lowing dogs used in driving cat
tle to pass through town but it
will be taken up inter.
Councilman Pecry recalled
tho date of the election on the
question of allowing cows to;
run at large, and declared the
discussion of the dog ordinance
in no way compares with the
strife raised over the question
of keeping the cows tied up. He
declared one town cow could
open any gate there was In tlie
town to get into some one's
garden.
The other matter that requir
ing considerable time, was the
consideration of the ordinance
licensing peddlers. For the pur
pose, of, licensing, peddlers. Are;
divided into seven classes, in the
most of which the license is .$2
per day, $3 per week, ?10 per
month, or $25 a quarter.
In ono or. two instances, tho li
cense rate is higher, and pro
vision Js mado that peddlers
wishing to handle goods of more
than ono class must tnke ou
first a license- for. .the higher
class and additional licences at
lmlf price for the additional
lines.
Class A Included druggists'
sundries, candies, etc.

The average for the. whole

shows that the. children have

prompt in sending the returns
In.
In order to see if the work in
spelling was "sticking" Supt.
Moore sent out a review list In
the 8th grade instead of the reg
ular list. Many of the teachers
thought it was an error and did
not give the test in this grade,
but those who did give it in this
district prove that the children
are learning to spell "for keeps"
as many of the grades made
above 90 per cent. . The Yarnell
school where Miss Drury teaches
made 96 per cent, the Warner
school where Miss Pierce
teaches made 90 per cent and
the Springfield 'schools which
have 35,111 the A and Bisections
of the 8th grade made an aver

Out of a total of 720. pupils
