eon yesterday: Dr. G. A. Massey,
R. C. Groesbcck, R. E. Deweese. M.
P. Evans, P. O. Landry and George

The finance and budget committee

Other committees which are being
considered by the chamber officials

to favor one of tho board of di
rectors as the head of each of the

tioning of the department alloted
him.
Secretary Lynn Sabln said that
the volume of work handled by tho
chamber was increasing by leaps
and bounds, inquiries were coming
In by the thousands, and it would
be absolutely necessary to' employ
an Assistant for Mrs Leah Smith In
order to take care of the work this
year.
Ed W. Vannlce, chairman of a
committee appointed by the Mer
chants' bureau to study out a plan
tor connecting up the west side
highway with tho city, reported to
tho directors that his committee had
gone over the grouna morougmy
during tho past few days and had
come to the doclsion that If the
Congor avenuo property owners
would not bear their share In fi
nancing the Conger avenuo connec
tion, he would recommend that a
bridge be built across the outlet to
Uppor Klamath lake above the dnm,
and lead to the Shipplngton road
and Into tho city from that direc
tion. It was advised that an attor
ney bo consulted relative to the di
verting of funds that have been
voted for building tho bridge to
connect with Conger, and If these
funds can' be made available for the
Shipplngton approach, that route be
recommended by the chamber, and
put across at the earliest opportunity.

NEWBERG, Ore., May 26. The
resignation of M. R. Hanger, teach
er of English In the Newberg high
school, was accepted at a meeting
of the school board Monday morn
ing, following expulsion of two sen
ior students and suspension of three
for participating in drinking fig
wine while on a student expedition
to Multnomah Falls, May 14. The
punishment was ordered at a meet
ing of the high school faculty, at
which School Superintendent Arthur
T. Copeland presided. The school
board indorsed the punishment by
the faculty.
The accused boys admitted, at
the faculty meeting that they had
taken two half gallon fruit Jars of
the wine to the outing and that
they drank one of them. They said
that Hanger who was conducting
the party, protested their drinking,
but did not force them to stop.
Hanger, it is said, told the boys to
"cut It out" but explained his fail
ure to enforce the order by say
ing that he coutd only have done
so, "by the use of a club."
Credits of the boys will be al
lowed but no diplomas will be
issuea 10 mem, unless iney go 10 1 wnich wui

be forworded to them there. They
will be given private examinations.
The suspended boys will be given
diplomas privately but will bo bar

matter over with the city attorney, instead of through the reg

crimination was used in pound charges; that on many nights
only a fifth of the men lodged in the city jail were booked,
and that in some cases men arrested for intoxication by offi

where nearly 20 people were in a state of intoxication, with
at least 3 quarts of liquor in their possession, were allowed
to proceed with their drinking party through orders of Mayor
Godiard, were the high lights of the council hearing into the

he once saw Argraves riding along
behind a car for a block or so, and
the car passed a street intersection
at over twelve miles an hour, and
Argraves never- arrested the driver.

driver himself, the mayor said he
