OPEN scHooLHousE MARCH 10.
Dr.. Sisson and President Black to
Speak-Cast Of Play Announced.

DIR. Sisson state commissioner of edu
cation and President Black, of the Lew.
iston state normal, have both consented
to be present and speak at the dedica.
tion of the new school building on
March 10th. This is to be the date of
the formal opening unless the furniture
now on the way is delayed. In addition

two local speakers and a good musica
program.
About 80 boys are now out training
for basketball. Nearly all of them
are showing up well and there is every
promise Of swift basketball team.
We, no doubt. will play one game this
year, while we can have no strong hopes
of winning owing to such short prac.
tice period, but look out for next year.
This game will be scheduled for the
first week in March,.
The cast for the annual Senior play
has been selected and rehearsals will
begin next week. We are trying to
handle the play this year SO that those
in the play will not lose out in their
school work. At any time when one
falls behind in his studies he will be
forced to drop the play. The condition
of getting into the play has been that
of work completed to, date and some
cases this has been a valuable stimulus
in urging pupils to catch up in their
work. The cast for the play is as fol-
lows: James Cavendish, rah-rah boy,
Pitman Atwood; Tad Cheseldine, the
college cut-up, Chas. Branscombe; Levi
tious, the ace of spades, Hugh Taylor;
Professor Senacharib Popp, chair of
philology, Roger Hill; Scotch McAllis-
ter, football captain, Sam Kennedy;
Shorty Long, the ubiquitous freshman,
Floyd Gilbert; Billy Van Dorm, on the
glee club, Mac Leonard; DR. .Twiggs, on
the faculty, Arthur Horning; Prof.
Slauber, professor of German, Clarke
Rush; Miss "Jim" Charming, the girl
from Dixie, Rose McEntee; Marjorie
Haviland, the college widow, Marietta
Alexander; Mrs. Bagsby, "Ma'', pop
ular landlady, Marion Sims; Miss Jane
Cavendish, Cavendish & Dean, N.
Y, Mary McEntee; Mrs. Cleopatra
Popp, faculty type, Beulah PEBBLES;
Mrs. Mollie Stiles, honeymooner, Cora
Hurley; Miss Twiggs, relic of other
days, Martha Squibb; Mrs. Twiggs, a
motherly old soul, Mary DeHaven; the
presidents s wife, Helen Guthrie. This
play will probably be put on about the
23rd of March and will be the only at
traction we will have this year for
which an admission will be charged.
The operetta which we have been con-
sidering is postponed to next year. Our
next school entertainment will be the
May Day Festival at the close of school
and as last year will be free to the
public.

at the Dewey mines in Thunder noun

ing to steal supplies. He was arrested
and Cooper appointed to guard him.
Cooper says that Spencer attempted to
escape and in the scuffle that ensued,
he shot him. But what about the keg
of booze that some people are un-
kind enough to say was the real cause
of the murder? Did the grand jury

rom which we had to draw They said
mat they had seen larger shows, but

He isn't handsome-far from that,
AS manly beauty goes;
He doesn't sport the latest hat
Or up-to-the- minute clothes
And yet he is more popular
Than all the blooming roost,
And ev'rybody likes him, for
His middle name is Boost
He doesn't wear the latest styles
Or know the latest fad,
But he just smiles and smiles and smiles
When things are going bad.
He talks lot, when 1ainclouds pour,
Of crops they have produced;
He sees their silver lining, for
His middle name is Boost
He makes no million bucks year,
And yet he has enough;
His charity is giving cheer
When things are looking tough
OF friends he owns plenty, more
Than money has induced;
Yep, ev'rybody likes him, for
His middle name is Boost.
Get holt yourself and boost bit
And jolly folks along,
For knocking never makes hit
When things are breaking wrong.
If you should hear kicker roar,
Just bump him off the roost,
And show the folks you re plugging, for
Your middle name is Boost.

BANDON HAS COSTLY FIRE
FLAMES LEAP ACROSS STREET.
Dynamite Used Freely to Prevent
Spread of Conflagration-Large Por-
tion of Town Wiped Out.

Bandon, Ore, June ia large por-
ton Of the business scctiQn of Bandon
was wiped out by fire early today caus-
ing loss of many thousands Of dollars.
Dynamite was freely used to prevent
the fire spreading but without avail.
The fire was stil burning late this
morning but was believed to be under
control. No loss of life has been re-
ported.
Thh fire started from a defective flue
in the l.. n. f.. Restaurant on Main
street and soon spread to and destoyed
the Club saloon and the Eldorado buil1-
ing adjoining on either side, together
with several smaller structures. The
flames then leaped across Main street
and burned the BandOn Drug company S
store, the McNair building, and the
Laird and Lowe building The Gross
saloOn was then dynamited but this did
not deter the flames which next
destroyed the Jameson saloon. In the
rear of the latter building several smah
houses were blown up, but the fire con-
tinuod undated, destroying in success
sion the Averill store, the City Meat
market and the office of the Water
company. Here the progress of the
flames was halted and it was believed
that no further damage would be done.

The assertion tnat any effective boy
colt was possible on the part of per
sons who disapprove his views on re.

simply trying to use religion for po-
litieal purposes.
'The fact that l was selected" he
continued, "to represent the Italian

be sufficient answer to them"

TYPHOID FEVER BANISHED
FROM UNCLE SANS ARMY

Washington, June ll.-Typhoid fe-
fer has been banishcd from the United
States army. Major +. F. Russell, in
recent issue of "The Journal of the
American Medical Association, makes
this statement and says the disappear
ance of typhoid is due directly to ty-
phoid vaccination. In the entire en-
rollment of over 10000 men in bar
racks or camps in the United States,
Philippines, China, Porto Rico, Cuba
and Hawaii, there were during 1913
only three cases of typhoid. Two OF
those were recruits, who, after five
days enlis stment, developed the disease
Out of the entire body of 10000 men
only one case occurred in an inoeculat-
ed soldier during the entire year.
This ease was soldier in the battai-
ion on duty in China. All three of
these cases fully recovered. 1t is poiu..
ed out that typhoid fever has been fo,
centuries the most dangerous disease to
soldiers and that every army, whether
on post duty or in the field, has ex-
peeted to pay heavy toll in sickness
and death in this disease.

Interest in the Cherry Queen contest
is beginning enthusiastically and owing

promises to be unusually exciting. The
popularity of the contestants, will
necessarily win a large number of votes
for each and the results are expected to
be very close.
The latest to withdraw their names
as contestants are Mary Schultz and
Miss Nell Hargrove, which leaves Miss
Eunane Craig, Miss Priscilla Fleming,
and Miss Grace Lilly, their standings
up to last night being 239 for Miss
Craig, 223 for Miss Fleming, and 202
for Miss Lilly.
Both Miss Hargrove and Miss Schultz
are well known. Miss Schultz who is
immensely popular, promised to be a
general favOrite among Cherry Queen
supporters, who learn with much regret
of her withdrawal

WEDDING BELLS RING
FOR II JUNE BRIDES
Dan Cupid Does Big Business Yester-
day in Making Hearts Happy
Come from Far and Near.
CRAFTY GOD OF LOVE
MAKES UP For LOST TIME
Stockman, Merchant, Attorney, Grocer,
Etc, Lead Marion County Girls to
the Altar of Hymen.

Yesterday was a record breaker iu
the hymeneal market in this city, as
IL couples were united in the bonds of
wedlock on this date, seven of which
took out licenses on the day of their
marriage. Only II couples were wish
ed as many happy returns of the day
during the month of May, which prob.
ably accounts for the early June rush.
Probably the Oldest of the contracting
parties was William NJ. Wiley, prom
inent stockman of The Dalles, who took
out license to wed Miss Myrtle Reed
of Woodburn. Mr., Wiley gave his age
as 20, while Miss Reed admits 2S.
Seth NJ. KerrOn, q young Portland
physician, was weddeu to Lizette r.
Walton, the daughter of Henry Fawk,
of this city. Seth Kerron will be re.
membered as a former University of
Oregon football star before his gradu-
alton from that institution in 1907. He
was an all-nOrthWest fullback for two
years, and once defeated Willamette
university by memorable S5-yard run
for touchdown which Willamette
continued to protest annually until
they defeated the U. of o. last year.
Mrs. Kerron is well known in this city,
and is deservedly popular. They will
make their home in Portland.
Guy o. Smith, a wcll.known attorney
of this city, and Theresa Cassidy, Sa-
lem teacher, also presented their ere
dentials at the county clerk office
yesterday evening too late for the news
gatherers and received the passport to
matrimOny.
Harvey w. flashing, a local grocer,
and Edna Annis, housekeeper, like
wise appeared at the county clerk s Of
flee for permission to navigate craft
on the, sea of matrimony,
Joseph N. Reinhart, prosperous
shoe merchant, and Miss Gertrude Car
oline Erixon, both of this city, were
also the principals in another applica-
tion for marriage license. The mar.
riage was later sOlemnized. Charles NJ.
Kolb, laborer, and Fay Pearl Clark,
both of Gates, took out license, and
William Enrich, farmer of Jefferson,
and Miss Arvilla Wagner, of Turner,
made up the last of the seven couples
that caused Cupid to heave sigh when
the five O'Clock whistle blew at the
end of a busy days work.

NO DOUBT AS TO MISTAKE
LIST SHOWS "a, NOT "a VOTES
Probable Lists in Every County in
State May Hay to Be Gone over
To Be Returned Corrected.

County Clerk Cotfey, of Multnomah,
was in the city this morning for few
minutes, coming for the purpose of get
ting the returns from that county so
they could b6 corrected as to the vote
on McNary and Benson. He stated the
error in this count was made in trans
ferring the votes from the precinct tai
ly sheets to the county sheet. lie sta,-
ed that the mistake was probably made
by the person calling the figures from
the precinct tally sheet. The figures
Immediately above the McNary were
those of Justice Mcbride, who had 80,
and Mr.. Coffey thinks that, having
called 80 for Mcbride, the reader in.
advcrtently called 81 instead Of 81 for
McNary.
Mr.. Coffey says there can be no
doubt as to the mistake, as the pre-.
cinct list shows "a and the county
sheet 81. He will take the completed
returns as filed with the secretary of
state back to Portland, call the judges
OF the precinct together and have them
correct the mistake, when the corrected
sheet will be returned to the secretary
Of state.
just what will follow has not yet
been decided, but ii is probable that
the lists III every county Of the state
will be compared in the presence of
the county clerks and some person or
persons satisfactory to bota McNary
and Benson. 1t is possible other mis-
takes may have been made, and until
the other counties are heard from the
final results cannot even be guessed at.
1t may be possible the vote of Multi.
nomah county will be recounted, but
this has not yet been decided.
Judge Henry i, Benson las an
nounecd today that he will ascertain
from Justice Charles h. McNary wheth-
cr or not the latter will accept the cor
rected Multnomah county vote, whica
gives Benson a lead OF seven votes foA
the fourth supreme court nomination
on the republican ticket, or institute
an examination on his own account.
