SCHOOL OPENS
- AUGUST 29
LIST OF TEACHERS IS ANNOUNCED
d:i.i: it . i n
niiiiuings ture nenovaiea mis Mintmer
and Are Ready for Scholars
Large Attendance Predicted.
In a little more than ten days the
school bells will be ringing and the
youngsters will be strapping up their
hooks and starting olT for another lap
of the race in pursuit of Knowledge.
It will still be summer and they may
hate to start so i t it is only by
starting early thai . may be turned
loose in the good snawberry spring
time. The Hoed Kiver schools will
open Monday, August 20.
The list of teachers is complete and
the buildings have all been thoroughly
renovated insida and out and are ready
to reevive the boys and girls, Prof",
E. K. Coad, superintendent of the
city schools, says that the constant
influx of people into the community
and the shitfing about between town
and valley makes it rather difficult to
forecast the numbers which they wlil
have to deal with. He says that there
is a change of more than 20 per cent
of the student body of the schools
rrom year to year. Last year there
were 670 scholars in the schools and the
prospects are that there will be a
larger attendance this year.
The teachers in the High School will
be J. 0. McLaughlin, principal mathe
matics! Jesse W. Oites, science Hnd
history, in charge of athletes ; Mary
Barton, German and Junior and Senior
English; Ilattie Louise lirunquist,
Latin and Freshman and Sophomore
English. All of the teachers are new
except Prof. McLaughlin, who was
here last year and is well known. Mr.
Crites comes here highly recommended
from the state of Delaware and is a
college graduate. Miss Barton is i
graduate of Ohio State University and
is a teacher of many years experience.
She Iihh spent the last year in Ger
many. Miss lirunquist, who arrived in
Hood Kiver a few days airo. is a
graduate of Wellseley College and last
year was the principal of an academy
in vvesi, v lrguua.
At the Park street buildinir the
teachers and grades they will have as
follows: Ida Turney, eighth principal;
e-veuyn turney, seventh; Maude
Howard, sixth; Pearl Ebv. fifth: Viva
Clapp, fourth ; Frances Evans, third ;
Grace Turney, second ; Alta Pool,
first. Misses Evellyn Turney, Howard
and Clapp are the new teachers in this
building, the first named ih a sister
of Miss Turner, who was in the
schools last year and she comes from
Wisconsin, where she has been a
teacher. Miss Howard comes to Hood
River from Greeley, Colorado, where
she took a course in the State Normal
School. Miss Clapp was a teacher in
the Frankton school last year and has
spent the summer taking a normal
course in the State University at
Eugene. The teachers at the Pleasant
View building were all here last year
and are well known to tho school pa
trons. They are Vara Stewart, sixth,
principal; Lula Tidii, fifth; Lulu Hicks
fourth; Mabel Claxton, third; Anna
Vannett, first. The list of teachers
has one less than last year caused by
the fact that from the present prospect
it will only be necesasry to have one
second grade. So many of the schol
ars of the first grades of last year have
shifted about that Prof. Coad believes
one teacher will be able to handle the
scholars of that grade. He said that
if the present indications failed to be
borne out, he would find it necessary to
get another teacher for the second
grade and give the work at the Pleas
ant View building. The prospects are
that there will be a large entering
class in the high school, a number of
students coming in from the valley and
it is possible that a division of the first
year classes will be necessary. It this
is the case another teacher will be se
cured and is desired by the authorities
to get a teacher who can handle do
mestic science work as well as some
other courses.
The first grade for tho pupils on the
Heighfs will be in the High School
building and not in the Pleasant View
building. Miss Merle lilinn, who
taught the second grade last year at
the 1'ark school wus retained by the
school authorities but she has asked
for a year's leave of absence which
has been granted her. She has been
visiting in the east and will remain in
Cincinati this winter where she has a
position in the primary department of
the schools ot that city. Sho expects
to return to Hood River a year from
now.
RESOLUTIONS ON
DEATH OF II. W. SCOn
The following resolutions were
adopted by tho Hood River Commercial
Club expressing in a feeling way the
sentiment of the valley for the late
editor of the Oregonian:
Resolved, that in the death of
Harvey W. Scott the State of Oregon
has lost one who was her greatest
citizens, and this Club, in behalf of
tho City and Valley of Hood River,
hereby expresses its sincere sorrow at
the untimely end of his great work.
So long he had warned, guided and
instructed that wo find it hard in deed
to realize that we shall hear his voice
no more. No mortal problem daunted
his mighty mind. Only in contempla
tion of the great Creator, his works
and ways, did he stand mentally un
covered in awe. Much he loved to
question, with the wise of every age,
the origin and the destiny of man.
No dogma or creed set Do imls to the
wide expanse of his mental vision, and
always he struck down those things
that were false, whether spiritual or
temporal, religious, political or social.
He was not only a great political
leader and a great philosopher, but he
was a great spiritual teacher.
Untold thousands of men and women
of Oregon and the North Pacific Coast
have long depended upon him as to
things of the world that now is, and
have learned to trust with him that
work and duty done make the best
preparation for that which may he to
come.
We honor and shall ever hold in fond
memory his great life, his great
work for Oregon, and for humanity.
1
We mourn for a great and good man
departed, but we rejoice in the price
less heritage Jof the memory of his
character, ami in the fortitude which
he faced alike life and death.
Resolved, that we extend to the
family 'of Mr. Scott, our sincere
sympathy in their bereavement.
Resovled, that this resolution be
spread upon the records of this Club,
and that H coov he sunt t. Ttn.
Oregonian for publication and that
me same ue published in our local
papers.
Dated at Hood River, Oregon, this
imeeiun day ot August, 1910.

J. C. Skinner secretary.
HARRIMAN HEAD
IN HOOD RIVER
Judire Robert S. Lovett. head nf
the Harriman Lines passed through
noou uiver unuay morning bound
from Portland to the Deschutes river
country. The big railroad man was
accompanied bv the O. H. & 1M.
officials and travelled on a special
train of three cars. The train stopped
here for water and a few of the
members of the party stuck their
heads out for air and "exnlained to
would be passengers that the train was
a special. Judge Lovett sat in the
rear apartment looking down the track
in a very solemn faahoin. He looked
to neither side and scarcely batted an
eye. The successor of E. H. Harri
man looks a little like John 1). Rocke
feller if you cover up all his mouth
and forget the beak of the Oil King.
Judge Lovett hag been looking over
Oregon pretty carefully during the
past two weeks. He left the railroad
in eastern Oregon and travelled across
the state through Harney and Lake
counties and came to Portland over
the Southern Pacfiie. lle spent several
days in Portland and on Puget Sound
and when he went through here he was
on his way to take a trip up the
Deschutes to look over the work
which is being done on the Harriman
line up that river. He also looked
over the double tracking of the O. R.
& N. between Portland und Pendleton.
DR. STORK LEADS
IN HOOD RIVER
Only one county in the state of
Oregon made a better showing than
Hood River in tho matter of having
more r births than deaths in the vital
statistics shown in the iiiartrev bul
letin recently issued by the state board
of health for the months of April, May
and June. During those three months
there were 40 babies born in Hood
River county and 6 jersons died.
Owing to the rapidly Increasing popu
lation and the non completion of the
census it is impossible to give the per
capita proportions but estimating the
population of the county 1 1 8000, the
showing is pretty good. In Hood
River county there were nearly eight
children born for every person dying.
Lake county was the only county
according to the report which made a
better showing.. In that county there
were 10 births and no deaths reported.
The propositions in the other counties
of the state rHn down to Marion county
at the bottom Jof the list where there
were twice as many deaths as births.
One fact which may account for the
bad proportions in the county, where
the state capitol is located, is the
situation of the state insane asylum
and penitentiary at Salem. "
The marriage statistics for Hood
River county are not shown by the
bulletin as they are from other
counties. The measles epidemic here
during that quarter showed 19. cases
but no deaths. There were four cases
of typhoid fever and three cases of
scarlet fever, none of them resulting
in death. One case and one death by
tuberculosis were shown bythe report.
Oregon's crusade againts the spread
of consumption is attaining definite
proportions and the State at large
will, before another quarter, hav, an
ideal home for its indigent sufferers.
The State Sanatorium, located five
miles east of Salem, will be ready to
receive patients early in September.
Leslie Butler, of this cityt is one of
the members of the board of control of
the Sanatorium.
The Commission is ,having con
structed long rows of modern cot
tages, ideal sleeping porches rather,
with dressing rooms, embodying the
latest improvements for the intelli
gent care of the consumptive. Not
only will the State take care of
these cases, but their chances of
arresting the ravages of the disease
will be better than in the best ap
pointed home. Add to this the educa
tional value of teaching them how to
live, how not to infect others, anil the
coonomie value of combating the rava
ges of the disease cannot be valued in
dollars.
The Commission will co-operate
with the State Board of Health in
establishing an educational exhibit, a
good part of which it hopes to have
ready in September and believes will
he of value to the entire slate.
BRING BIG FRUIT
AND VEGTABLESIN
y
Commecral Club, is anxious to secure
any extra size of very perfect speci
mens ot truit and vegetables lor the
purpose of having them, preserved and
kept as a part of the large exhibit of
the Chamber of Commerce in Portland.
Apples, pears, peaches, plums, prunes
and fruit of all kinds will be taken
which is worth preserving as well as
vegetables of all kinds. All the diff
erent sections of the state are being
represented in the Chamber of Com
merce exhibit with their products and
Hood River has an apple display
there, but it is desirable that the
many visitors who daily visit the Port
land headquarters should know that
Hood River raises a few more things
to a degree very 'near perfection be
sides apples which are the beat in the
world.
Harry S. Carter, who has been
with his brother, Joseph Jackson
Carter, on ?the rfnch near Summit,
for several weeks, left Saturday for
Zanesvilles, Ohio, where he will man
age the Orpheum theater during the
coming season.
PETITIONS ARE
BEING CIRCULATED
CANDIDATES BUSY FOR PRIMARIES
Dr. Watt Will Be Candidate for Representative-Numerous
Candidates Will
Make Contests Interesting.
With the time for the filing of the
candidates' petitions and the closing of
registration less than a month away,
the political situation is beginning to
warm up a bit and the fact that the
real election of the county offices will
occur in the primary should add to the
interest of 'he voters who are anx
ious to see the county oflices in the
hands of good men. The books of
registration will close 'September 14
and no candidate can get on the
ticket for the primary, which will be
held ten days later after the books
are closed.
Several of the candidates who re
ceived the indorsement of tho Repub
lican county assembly have withdrawn
from the race and other candidates are
opposing the assembly nominees.
There are from one to four aspirants
for the Republican nominittion for each
of the county oflices while William
Ganger is as yet. the only Democrat
who has announced his candidacy

John Leland Henderson would run.
Rev. J. G. Tate, who was recom
mended by the assembly, has with
drawn and it ia understood that the
Republicans who were for the assembly
candidate will support Dr. Watt,
although the county committee has
made no official recommendation. Dr.
Watt is well known in Hood River
being an old resident with many in
terests hero.
Newton Clark, who was nominated
by the assembly for the office of
county judge, seems to be the only
candidate who is meeting with ro
opposition. He has tiled his declara
tion and is circulating his petition. It
was rumored on the street yesterday
that Charles N. Clarke would be a
candidate for judge, but as he is now
at the cons!, no e.vilirmation of tho
rumor could b seeuivd.
H. S. Gallig;n, who was one of the
nominees for commissioner in the as
sembly, has withdrawn from the race
and Orson 11. KhoaduH, a prominent,
cast side rancher has announced his
candidacy for that office and he will
receive tho support of the assembly
men. G. A. McCurdy, the other as
sembly nominet , ha filed his declara
tion. Oscar Fredenberg filed his dec
laration of intention some time airo and
it has been said that he did not expect
to make the race, but '1 he Glacier
could not reach Mr. Fredtnberg to get
a definite statement on the subject.
Another upper valley man, J. II, Steele,
has announced that he will be a candi
date for commissioner and is circulate
ing his petitions. It is also understood
that several other upper valley citizens
aspire to become members of the board
of commissioners.
) There promises to be co isiderablo
friction in the race for county survey
or, four candidates having announced
themselves tor that ollice. Carroll M.
Hurlburt was nominated by the assem
bly, and the other aspirants are City
Engineer t'ercy M. Morse, Murray Kay
and Harry Hackett. Not all of them
have tiled their declarations yet, but
it is understood they intend to and they
are asking their friends for support.
lhere are two candidates each tor
the oflices of clerk, sheriff and assessor
and in each case one of the men was
selected by the assembly and the other
is opposing the assembly. F. Howard
Isenberg has the assembly backing for
clerk and deputy clerk W. E. Hansen
' mi... i.i .
is opposing mm. j nomas r. jonnson
is a candidate for sheriff agait st G. R.
Castner, who was nominated by the

COUNCIL ARRANGES
WITH CONTRACTORS
The city coyncil met Monday night
for a brief session, the principal
matters taken up being the contracts
with W. G. Aldred for the grading of
State street and the contract with R.
1). Gould & Co., for the sewer in
district No. 8. The Aldred contract
was read and ordered signed as soon as
the contractor's bond was approved.
The improvement on State street will
extend from Sixth street east to East
Second street. The sewer contract was
signed this week and it is expected
that work on the two improvements
will be begun immediately by the con
tractors. The judiciary committee of the
council was instructed to prepare an
ordinance under which it will be possi
ble to arrest persons and charge them
with vagrancy when they are found
roaming the streets of the city at un
reasonable hours with no excuse for
being out. Tho officers have reported
a number of cases lately of persons
being out prowlnig about the streets
at early hours of tho morning.
Laundry Is Scattered.
Considerable excitement was occa
sioned shortly after noon Wednesday
when the horse hitched to tho laundry
wagon becmo frightened by an automo
bile at the west end of Oak street and
ran down through town scattering
bundles of "wash" ready for dei'very
in its wake. At the corner of Thrid
and Oak streets the horse tore the
shafts from the wagon and continued
on its wa. No damage was done
except that several packages of laun
dry will have to be washed again
before delivery.
M. Schumann, of Portland, repre
senting the National Map & Publishing
company, was in the city during the
past few days gathering data for a
topographical map of Hood River county.
