None of the Mandels were present
at the dedication of their hall. In
fact, they knew nothing about it till
the meeting was on.
Here's the way the hall came into
existence. Geo. Koop was addressing
a crowd at Congress and State SITS.
1t was cold and it was raining. Koop
had an idea. Let's march to a place
of shelter and hold our meeting" he
said
Three hundred strong they marched
up State st. They turned in at Mad
ison to Holden ct. There they had
their meeting. Now Holden court,
unlike other streets, has no street
sign on any of its corners, but it is
the street that runs from Madison to
Randolph UNDER MandeTs Stevens
and Marshall Fields stores. The
stores use it as private loading yard
for delivery wagons. If you would
drive down there in wagon a de-
partment store Waterman would Or
der you off, but on a. city map it is
labeled as a public street.
Believing that public street was
intended for the use of the public,
Koop marched his followers, now 500,
into Holden Ct, under Mandel Bros
store.
When the police arrived, as of
course they did, they took Koop to
La Sale st. police station. The crowd
followed. He was not booked.
I'VE will meet there next Sunday
evening, and perhaps Tuesday or
Wednesday evening"" said Koop to-
day.

At fruit-canning plant in Cali
fornia 1000 tons of peach seeds were
accumulated last season. They were
cracked by special machinery and the
meats shipped to Germany, where
they were used in the manufacture
of prussic acid and some other pro-
ducts. The meats we're also pro-
cessed by the Germans to make the
bitter almond of commerce. The can
ming company sold the shells as fuel.

MANDEL'S HAVE PUBLIC FORUM
PLACE, BUT DON'T KNOW 1T

Mandel Bros department store has
built a public fourm meeting place
where Socialists, free thinkers, l. w.
WIS an dtrade unionists can meet
nightly.
The new meeting place was dedi-
Gated last night when George Koop,
Socialist speaker, delivered an adj
dress on the advantages of trade
unionism for department store
clerks.
It will hold 5000 people 1t will be
used as a center of propaganda for
Socialism, industrial democracy and
trade unionism. 1t is planned to have
special nights for department store
girl clerks to attend and give their
experiences of girl trying to live vir-
tuously when department stores that

"In recent years the teachers view
point has broadened," she said
Some time ago one of the attorneys
for the steel trust told me at ban
quet that we had left our sphere, that
the manufacturers were going to see
to it that we went back to it, teach
ing the three RS. l told him that we
would never go back, that we were
going to follow the children out of
the schools into the industries to see
what happened to them there, and
to fight to give them better chance
to live.
$50 far not a single teacher has
fallen in the fight. Not one of them
has signed the pledges, FORGETTING a
salary raise in doing so. Now you
men are going to be tested. Are you
going to have influence enough to get
school board appointees who will up
hold the principle of unionism?
This is your fight as much as ours.

OPPOSE CREATION Of
NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT
Movement to Divide Districl
Y and II Into Three
Districts Not Favored

A lively contest has been precipitated
in school district No. 70, south of this
city over the submission Of a petition
for the cutting off a portion Of this
district, and taking in part of district
! No. p, known as the LoOney district
and a part Of the Jefferson district TO
create a new district, which will be
fought out before the school district
board this afternoon. A spirited remon-
STRANGE has been filed against the divi-
sion Of the present district 70 and the
controversy promises to wax warm be-
fore final settlement is arrived at.
The petition for the creation Of the
new district bears the signatures of
B. i, Carothers Freely Myers and
about 40 others, and this is supported
by petitions signed by Joe Hampton,
| Cora Hampton and II others in Looney
district, and O. N. Smith, S. j. Pease,
and five others from the jefferson dis.
trict, who, if the proposed division dis.
tricts is allowed will be incorporated
in the new district. The remoustrance
| TO the proposed new district is signed
by Wn. S. Finlay, William Finlay, and
SO others, and the principal contentious
embraced in the remonstrance are ab
| follows;
"That II would break up one good
and efficient school district and create
| two poor ones. That IL would cause an
increase in taxes, as a special tax would
| have 10 be levied in the old district 10
maintain si1.months school. That the
district (72) as now bounded and
school house located affords the great.
est accommodation to the greatest num-
her Of scholars In the districts, - and
they pray for the maintaining Of the
boundaries Of the district as they now
exist.
Tho petitioners for the division Of
tho old districts and the creation Of the
new base their support Of the petition
upon the contention that under the
present arrangement their children
have 10 travel from 2lg 10 miles "a
attend school, while in the Jefferson
district the petitions claim that their
children have 10 travel five miles 10
attend school. They are willing 10 as.

BERRIDGE FAILS TO
APPEAR BEFORE COURT
Man Who Experted County
Books Threatens to
Bring Suit

Arthur Berridge, the Portland expert
accountant who went over the books Of
the Marion county officers and pre-
sented q bill for $l523.11 for the job,
did not appear before the county court
at its regular session yesterday, as he
announced was his intention when he
left this city after his bill had been
refused by the county court. Insur-
snce Commissioner Ferguson approved
the original bill for $1523.1l but stat
ed informally that he thought the bill
should be cut in half. The county court
was even more conservative and offer
ed to settle with Berridge for $3.50.
This sum Berridge refused to accept
and wanted the county court to pay
him $500 on account while the matter
was pending settlement. The county
court refused to comply with Mr.. BeT-
ridges request.
Berridge left this city with the un.
official statement that he would com.
mence suit against the county to col.
lect the full amount. The county court,
while not anxious to become entangled
in lawsuit, was willing to contest the
claim with Mr.. Berridge in order that
the matter Of the constitutionality OF
the law might be. tested. The county
court of this county doubts the right
Of the state to contract bills to be paid
by the county and moreover views with
alarm any precedent which would per
init such action, because the court be-
heves that if the right is admitted in a
small amount there is no limit to the
obligations that might be piled up by
the state. No word was received yes
terday from Mr.. Berridge explaining
his absence, but his presence would moi
have changed the opinion of the eoun
ty court nor caused them to take any
other than their original stand.

SCHOOL FUND TO Be
SWELLED BY $4,000
A. c. Shaw Says Clients Will
Pay $3.50 Per Acre
For Land

When State Treasurer Kay this
morning fixed his signature of appro-
val to the draft Of resolution, which
has been heretofore agreed upon by
the governor and Secretary Of State
Olcott, it operated as an acceptance of
the proposal of A. c. Shaw, made to
the board some time ago, wherein, upon
the payment Of the minimum price of
$3.50 per acre by his clients to the
state, the state will surrender quit
claim title to approximately 10000
acres Of land embraced in the 10000
acre group of lands involved in the cell
ebrated Benson-Hyde land fraud opera
tions. This will mean the augmenta-
tion of the state school fund principal
to the amount of 100000 and is one
of the direct results of the suit brought
by the state land board for the can
collation. of the deeds to the lands in
volved in the Benson.Hyde transac'
tiOns.
The suit to cancel the Benson-Hyde
deeds to approximately 10000 acres OF
state school lands located within the
boundaries Of the Cascade forest re-
serve in Linn and Marion counties
was brought by the state, at the in
stance of Governor West, after Ben
son and Hyde had been convicted OF
fraud in the manner of securing pos
session of the lands and the case il
still pending in the courts. A. G. Shaw
who represents holdings of lands EN-
braced in the Benson Hyde peculation'
amounting to about 10000 acres anC
is made a party defendant in the suit
for cancellation Of deeds, offered t
compromise with the state land bOarC
by agreeing to pay $3.50 per acre al
I his clients are innocent purchasers, il
exchange for a quit.claim deed from
the state, and the acceptance Of his Of
fer on the part of the land board car
| ries with it the condition that Shaw
must prove to the satisfaction of thu
board and the department of the in
terror that his clients are innocent pur
chasers.
The acceptance Of Shaw's propose
also operates to eliminate his holding
small as most of the business for tn
text of the resolution, which is vir
tual acceptance of Shaw's proposal
reads:
at is the sense Of the board tina
innocent purchasers and holders il
good faith of titles to lands selecte,
in lieu Of said base lands, shall be en-
titled to confirmatory deeds upon sucI
showing being made to the board with
in ninety days, and payment of $25
per acre to the state Provided how
ever that each case shall be first sui
mitted by the board 10 the interior dc
! partment for approval.

WOULD ISSUE SECOND
OREGON BLUE BOOK
Secretary Of State OlcOtt Will
Ask Legislature to Order
!. Publication

Because the "Oregon blue book, ;"
and official publication which has been
compiled and issued by the secretary of
state and has created such great de-
mand from all public sources, "is al
most invaluable as a supplementary
text book on the civil government of
the state and fosters spirit of pa
tnOtism and loyalty" Secretary of
State 0leott will recommend to the
coming Legislature that some provision
be made for compiling and issuing
1856 blue book that shall fully set
forth the official interests of the state
with such additional information as
may be Of greatest assistance to those
for whom il is chiefly intended"
Secretary Oleott calls attention to
the original publication of the blue
book, which was issued in 1911 in re-
spOnse to an insistent demand for n
work Of such character and in harmony
with the custom of many other states,
and particularly to the issue of 1913.
IA, which was very complete direc.
tory, not only of all state, district and
county officials, institutions, depart
ments, commissions, etc, but contained
a wealth of information of more than
ordinary interest and value to the gem
eral public that second edition of the
booklet was necessary to supply the
demand.
1t was very popular with teachers,
students, city, county and state off
eials, and many other patrons of the
various libraries of the state, and it
was in great demand as dependable
handbook on all governmental func.
tions. "Requests for copies of it came
in from all parts of the state and it
became evident that the Oregon blue
book was regarded as a reliable source
of important and valuable information,
says Secretary Olcott. The last ses.
sion of the legislature neglected to
provide funds for the issue Of the book
and Secretary Olcott got it out with
the aid Of the funds and the force Of
employees Of his own department, but
he asks the legislature to make such
provision that the publication of the
blue book may be continued.
