Marooned on Puget Sound.

Leaving the pavilion at Point De-
fiauce Park. Tacoma, early Saturday
in rowboats for a picnic on Vashon
Island party of students, six boys
and six girls, from Whitworth college
came near spending the night on the
island. In the afternoon it began to
rain and blow. The girls were SO
frightened by the roughness of the
water that they refused to go back to
mainland in the small boats. 1t was
decided to wait while in the hope
that the water would become smooth,
but the hours dragged along bringing
no relief. The girls as well as the
boys became soaking wet. Finally
two of the boys volunteered to row to
the Park Pavilion and get large
launch. On reaching the park after
desperate rowing they found no launch
SO they telephoned from there to the
Foss boat house four miles distant.
Relief finally reached the students,
but it was near midnight when they
| reached home.

All Americans, young or old, ought
to know that February 22nd was
Washington's birthday. And every
school boy knows the story of George
Washington, bis Ratchet and the
cherry tree. He is one man at least
who has the enviable reputation.of hav-
ing never told a falsehood. The per-
sonal life and great deeds of this
famous man are we'll known to the
greater majority of American citi zens.
But, however, it may be news to some
to learn that the father of his contry
wore artificial teeth. Yes, such was
the case, and they were among the
great commanders most priced earthly
possessions. He realized the import
ance of having satisfactory mastica-
ters no doubt from the standpoint OF
health, one of the most important
things pertaining to our residence on
this earth. You may wish to emulate
this great man in this respect, and
have an artificial set of teeth that you
will also prize highly, after they
are once in your possession. Or you
may wish to conform more to the
now prevailing and up to date ideas
of having decayed or otherwise affect
ed natural teeth filled, crowned, or
otherwise operated on SO they can be
permanently retained, thereby being
needed benefit and source of salts
faction. Teeth extracted and filled
by my new original painless method.

C. A. JOHNS IS AHEAD
wITHYCOMBE NEXT WITH T.
T. GEER A CLOSE THIRD.
Vote OF Portland Will Decide Contest
for Republican Nomination
for Governor.

Reports of the struggle for the re-
publican nomination for governor,
says the Portland Journal, indicates
that g. A. Johns and DR.. ]. w.
Withycombe are still iu the lead,
with T. L. Geer third G. A. Sehl-
brede and Harvey K. Brown have not
yet developed enough strength TO be
dangerous com petitors, though the
former is making quite an active
campaign.
With five candidates in the field,
the issue of the contest must almost
inevitably be decided by the vote of
Portland.
Geer is better known in Portland
than any of his competitors, but on
the other hand there are many sore
spots resulting from his campaign
for governor in 1909, and some of his
enemies are thirsting for the oppor-
tunity to knife him.
EARLY in the campaign some of the
leaders in the old Matthews ma
chine fixed on Withycombe as the
CaHuludI0 mUct 1lkcly W WAL oho
nomination, and plans were made to
give him all possible support. But
these exceptions have been somewhat
disturbed by the unexpected activity
Of the Baker City candidate, @. A.
Johns. A shrewd and experienced
observer who has recently visited the
large towns in the Willamette ralley
reports that Johns appears to be in the
lead, though Withycombe is close
second. Geer is regarded as third in
the race, though he might still forge
to the front, especially it E. L. Smith
Of Hood River should conclude to en-
ter the race. Smith would draw from
Johns in Eastern Oregon and from
Withycombe in the Willamette valley.
Walter L. Tooze is spoken of az
the leader in the congressional fight in
the first district, though this is by nc
means conceded by the other candi-
dates, Hawley of Salem and Huston OF
Hillsboro. Frank Benson and Claud
Catch seem to be the leaders in the
race for secretary of state with the
odds rather in favor of the former.

SENATORS BY VOTE.
Democrats of Lane County ut Eugene
AdOpta Platform.

Democrats of Lane County ut Eugene
adopt a Platform.
A mass meeting of democrats of
Lane county was held at Eugene Sat
urday to adopt a plan of concerted ac
tion for the approaching campaign.
A platform was adopted as follows:
We, the democrats of Lane county,
state of Oregon, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby adopt the fol-
lowing declaration of principles, to-
wit:
We advocate the election of United
States senator by direct vote of the
people. We will withhold our sup
port from all legislative candidates
who do not subscribe to Statement
No. /" of the direct primary law.
We are opposed to leasing of con-
victs and bringing them in competi-
tion with free labor. We favor put
ting convicts to work on state and
county roads.
We advocate ownership by the
state of a properly equipped printing
plant, and that the state printer be
given fixed annual salary.
We favor taxation of gross earnings
of corporations, as proposed by the
Oregon State Grange.
We declare that all appropriations
of state funds shall be made in separ-
ate appropriation bills.
We favor the adoption of such a
system of taxation as will compel
wealthy corporations and others who
have been escaping taxation to pay
their just share of taxation.
We favor the federal ownership of
the locks at Oregon City, and if that
is impossible, then state ownership,
and the speedy construction of the
Cello canal
We favor the local option law as
it now stands, and oppose any change
of the same,
We favor municipal ownership OF
public utilities, and especially of
water, ,as the foundation of the health,
happiness and prosperity of our peo-
Pile.
We favor change i'll the laws OF
assessment and taxation so that the
time of payment of taxes shall be
October l5 Instead of March 10, as
now, that the farmers and poorer of
our country may get the benefit of
rebate, as we'll as the rich, and that
equality may be extended to all citiz-
ems alike.
We condemn the county court in
expending large sum of the people
money in worthless timber cruising,
as being extravagant, unwise and moi
on sound business principles.
We are in favor of amending the
state constitution 50 as to place all
officers on flat salaries.
We heartily endorse the administra
tim of Governor Chamberlain anG
his honest and economical admins
tration of state affairs.

people at the primary election, th

ACADEMY STUDENTS
DEMERIT SYSTEM IS PUTTING
THEM OUT OF ACADEMY.
Three Boys are Expelled and Others
Quit Waitsburg Institution
of Learning.

The principal of the Waitsburg
academy is having trouble with stud
ents over the demerit system that pre-
walls in that school.
According to information given out
by seven or eight young men, many
students from the business department
of the Waitsburg academy are with
drawing. Five of the young men
turned in their books to Professor
Sprague Tuesday morning and left the
school. Their grievances, they
stated, was the enforcement of a de-
merit system the principal has in
augurated, through the operation OF
which three students were recently
expelled. For certain infractions
of the rules a demerit mark is charged
up against the record of the student,
and when a student gets certain
number of demerits it is deemed just
cause for his expulsion. The young
men claim that since the expulsion
of the three students, some three weeks
ago, about 20 have left the school
from the business department and that
more are to follow Besides, they
allege, several of the girl students
have announced that they will also
withdraw.
According to the story of the boys
they have at times made it rather
interesting for the principal, and have
been assisted by some of the girls.
On Monday night of last week, they
say, after exercises at the chapel, a
party of young men and women locked
the door and had dance. Professor
Gray appeared on the scene and de-
manded admittance, but without sue
cess. Among the five who left the
school Tuesday four are boys residing
in Waitsburg.
Professor Sprague said the statement
Of the boys was much overdrawn.
Eight students in all, he says, have
left during the entire year this far.
Two, Thomas Van Dyke and Harry
Hawthorn, were expelled some three
weeks ago for getting 35 demerit
marks. The expulsion is in accord
ance with the rules of the school. Six
others have since left. Among them
Jesse Ellington, Glenn Louchs, Cecil
Keiser and Edgar Freeman. Roy
Steele and Ned Cornwell have Eeen
