City Superintendent Turner received
Monday long communication signed
by Governor Chamb erlain, State
Superintendent Alderman and tho
chairman of the Portland Peary North
Pole Expedition, asking that . colleo.
tion be taken up in the schools Of this
city to aid Lieutenant Perry In fitting
out another expedition to try to reach
the North Pole. Supt. Turner de-
olined to take up this graft on the
school children and consigned the
blanks to the waste basket, his action
meeting with the prompt approval of
Chairman Gilkey and the other mem.
bers Of the board as we'll as OF the
patrons Of the school.
Lieutenant Pesry has already spent
enough money, contributed by the
wealthy men of New York. In his
numerous attempts to reach the North
Pole to give every school In Oregon
a nine months term, and now he
wants another 800, 600 or more with
which to fit out another expedition
and he has issued begging letter TO
all the schools in the United States
asking that each child make con-
tribution to the fund. There IL on
practical value TO come Of Peary' g
North Pole expedition only the glory
that he would get Of being the first to
reach the land of utter desolation.
IL Is no credit TO Gov. Chamberlain
and Supt. Alderman that they should
endorse this graft on the school
children of Oregon

A Brief Record of
Local Events. !

r. Mansfield. who for some time
past has been working in the jewelry
shop of O. st. Louis, has opened a
jewelry shop of his own IN the place
lately occupied by MI. st. Louis, who
has located at Kennel. California.
Mr. Mansfield is an enterprising
young man and begins business for
himself with determination TO
win success.
A wire from Pendleton states that
the special train carrying Norris aud
Rowe's circus, which showed here ON
April 2S, narrowly escaped being
precipitsted into a gorge and that q
slow rate Of speed is all that saved
great loss of life and property. The
train was on trestle 20 feet high,
when IA draw head was pulled and
dropped in such a manner on the track
as to lift the long car up and of the
track. The accident occurred just be-
low Summit, when the train was
creeping up a heavy grade. This
saved it from being precipitated into
the canyon below. 1t was necessary
to send to La Grande for wrecking
crew.
