community is surrounded by the rich

growing of orchards and the most val

Order Fire
Escapes for
the Schools
SCHOOL BOARD HAS IMPORTANT
MEETING-SCHOOLS SHOW GOOD
GAIN SINCE OPENING-ATTEND.
ANCE Is NOW 2j07.

It developed at the meeting of the
school board Saturday night that It is
the intention of the board to erect fire
escapes on all Of the school buildings,
Notwithstanding that in all probability
none Of the buildings are affected by a
| fire escape ordinance recently passed
by the city council, 1t Is learned that
the board is not disposed to fight the
natter, but will proceed at once to
provide for two escapes for the high
school In order to equip all the
schools II will require q large outlay
Of money and while all Of the mem
bers of the board are favorable to
placing the fire escapes in all Of the
buildings, they are not satisfied to
make such large outlay without con-
.sulting the property owners. So 1t was
decided at the meeting to have an ar
chitect prepare plans and speclfica-
tions for the proper equipment for all
the buildings and that he is to work
in connection with the city attorney
and fire chief.
The question of kindergarten for
Salem was handled in much the same
way as fire escapes, as the proposition
that was referred to the board by the
woman's club Of the city at a recent
meeting was ordered placed in the an
nual budget, so as to receive the sane
tion or rejection of taxpayers at the
annual meeting in December.
Lee Acheson was selected by the
board as census-taker for the coming
census with a salary Of $1OO on the
basis of the total number enumerated
last year and a bonus of twenty-five
cents for each name over that number.

Mr.. Acheson will begin his
work at once.
superintendent Kuntz was present
and made his report which showed the
schools to be in good condition. Spe-
cial reports were submitted by the
teachers Of special subjects and
among other things 1t was noted that
the income from tuition and inciden-
tails amounted to $1137.
1t was ordered that the superintend-
ent be directed to purchase oil and
that the janitors spread it on the
floors Of the Railways of the various
buildings during the vacation period
next month, while the county institute
is in progress.
The regular monthly payroll
amounting to $714775 was ratified as
were bills amounting to approximately
$3.50, and ordered paid.
The superintendent's report showed
substantial gains in the enrolment
since the first few days of school, the
total now being 1897, divided among
the schools as follows: High, 4S7;
East, $780, Englewood, 217 Park, 29O;
Lincoln, 351; Grant, 231; Garfield, SO1;
Highland, 217; Richmond, 1873.

WOOdburn
to Debate
on CreedS

Woodburn, Ore, Oct. 21-(special)
No small sensation was caused
here yesterday when, at the close of
sermon by Rev. A, Mckenzie Mel
drum, of Athena, Oregon, the gauntlet
was flung down to the visiting minis
ter by Rev. Mr.. Gordon, pastor of the
Methodist church of Woodburn for a
series Of debates. The challenge was
accepted.
The challenge was the result Of an
attack made on the creeds Of the va
rious churches by Rev, Mr. Meldrum
in an afternoon sermon in the new
Christian church, which he was called
to dedicate Arrangements for the
debate are to be made today, Mr., Cor
don had been invited to the service
and was on the platform when the at
tack was made.
Three services marked the dedica-
tion of the new Christian church yes
terday. The new building was well
filled at all Of the meetings, and
about 5000, enough to clear the church
Of debt, was raised through the eff
forts of Mr.. Meldrum

W. C. HAWLEY,

Republican Direct Primary Nominee
for Congress, has received the COM
mendation Of President Taft and
Roosevelt and of the people of Ore
gon generally for his support of pro-
gressive legislation. Mr.. Hawley is
a native born Oregon, and is familiar
with the affairs of Oregon, and will
continue to serve the best interests OF
her people.
The Eugene Guard has the follow
ing relative to Mr.. Hawley:
1t is but simple justice to a hard
working, sincere man to say that Con-
gresham Hawley possesses those
qualifications for the office he holds.
There are many smoother politicians
on duty at the national capital, many
more brilliant orators, but probably
no member who is really trying hard
er to serve his constituents in a ma
terial way. More than this, Mr.. Haw-
ley is a plain forceful speaker, with
ample ability to express himself in
public, voicing the wishes Of the peo-
| pie he represents.

SECOND
BEAT SALEM HIGH

In clean and well-played game of
football Saturday afternoon the sec
ond team Of Willamette university
took the Salem high school team into
camp by a score of Z to 0. The two
teams were pretty evenly matched,
Willamette having a little the best of
1t as regards weight, while the highs
showed good training and were in the
game from start to finish The scor-
ing was done in the first few minutes
Of the game and after that neither goal
was in serious danger at any time. For
defensive work Reinhart, for the high
school, was probably the most sue
cessful in stopping the bucking of the
seconds as but for his clever work the
score would have been very different.
Wilson was equally good in making
advances, as he made some very clever
plunges and passes.
For the seconds the backfield was
almost impregnable, as they seemed
able to stop the progress Of the ball
as soon as 1t reached dangerous
ground
