There has been considerable criticism
rrora various sources on account of the
no."se made by children and fairly weH
gruwn-up boys during the band concerts
tnu summer. It seems the childron or
boys are making ju-st enough noise dur-
ng tho playing to take away the pleas
ure of attending the concert to manv,
yet at the same time do not conduct
thcr.iselves in such a way that would
call for the police. Hence it has been
asked that an appeal bo mado to moth
ers to keep their children quiet during
the playing. If the bigger boys contin-
na to miikii themselves a nuisance, it
is probablo that the police will be call
ed to take charge of them. .

In tho event that State Engineer
Lewis resigns it is considered a fore
gone conclusion that Percy A. Cupper,
assistant state engineer, will be ap
pointed to succeed him, as Cupper is
the republican- nominoo for water su
perintendent of the western Oregon
district end he says he can handle the
duties) of the state engineer and the
water superintendent for the aalarv of
the state engineer, which is $3000 a
year. This would result in saving the
salary of water superintendent, which
is $2400 a year.
Mr. Lewis wa first appointed state
engineer by Governor Chamberlain in
j1905, when the office wag created. He
was reappointed, and after the office
became elective, was twico elected. The
law was again changed and the offieo
becomes appointive tho first of next
January.
Will Manage Affairs
Of Willamette Chapter
Without Salaries
The annual election of Willamette
chapter, American Red Cross officers
and directors will tako place early in
October of this year. In order that the
12,000 members of this chapter be 'giv
en a voice in the selection of officers
and directors, a meeting will be called
in oepioui'oor to select a nominating
'committee of five and this committee
will sulbmit names to bo voted on at
the October 1 election.
The officers of Willamette chnptet
include a chairman, vice chairman, see
retary nd treasurer. The directors num
ber about 14, as there is this number
of separato departments working un
der this chapter. The nominating com
mittee will submit names for each of
fice and for directors of each depart
ment and at a mass meeting to be call
ed at tho armory October 1, the election
will bo held.
Mrs. A. S. Benson has volunteered
her services to take charge of the bus
iness management of the chapter be
ginning August lo. sno has been giving
much of her time to the Red Cross
work and will take a rest for the com
ing two weeks. Until Mrs. Benson goes
on me worn, jvirs. cnestor JU. Cox will
bo in charge, having volunteered her
services free until that time.
' The business of Willamette chapter
is such that it requires one of practic
al business experience to keep all rec
ords and transactions of the chapter
in proper shape. Every dollar sub
scribed, and every yard of material re
ceived or sent out to the hundred or
more auxiliaries, must he accounted for
and the business details necessary to
do this work is vastly greater than an
average business.

"Tim Mooney's at the Fightin' "
sung this morning during the bridgo

tomed o public speaking, found herself,
with unusual competition this morniiiir

into competition n(ot only with the
Fordson tractor and other vehicles
crossing the bridge but also with a
merry-go-round that had the usual
amount of music and blowing of whist

silenced and Dr. Lovejoy succeeded in
making herself heard throughout tho
