Property Assessed for Macadamiza-
ti0n of Uglow Avenue.

AT Monday nights session of the
city council the cost of tho improve
ment of Uglow avenue was estimated
at So for macadamization and 35
cents for curb on either side of that
thoroughfare. The recorder was in
structed to notify the property OWL
ers to that effect, and October was
fixed as the date for hearing objec-
tions.
The condition of the crosswalk at

FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN.
Griffin Case Will Be Heard in Nc
Minnville Today.

Mrs. Bertram S. Griffin got into a
net of litigation when California
courts granted her application for the
custody of her children after she was
divorced from her husband in that
state. Mrs. Griffin hurried the chill
dren from California to Oregon, so
that her divorced husband could not
appeal from the decision of the courts
in the matter of guardianship, and it
is said that she kept the young ones
in this state without the knowledge
of the husband. Mr.. Griffin learned
of their removal and followed them to
Oregon. In the Yamhill county court
he instituted proceedings to have the
guardianship granted by the Califor-
mia court set aside, and requested the
appointment of guardian. The Yam
hill justice refused the application
and allowed the guardianship to re-
main as it had been granted. Today
Circuit Judge Belt is at McMinnville
to hear an appeal made by Mr.. Griffin
from the ruling of the county court.
To grant the appeal Judge Belt must
reverse the decision of the lower
court. Mccain, Vinton & Burdett Of
McMinnville will represent Mrs. Grif-
fin and Oscar Hayter and Walter L.
Tooze, Jr., will appear on behalf Of
the father of the children.

Enrolment Better Than Usual In
crease in Student Population,
and More Coming

II a large increase in registration il
tthe city schools has been noted since
I'the opening of classes on Monday
(morning, when there was a total en-
trollment of about $50 pupils in the
1.-TWO buildings. On Wednesday, Su.
perintendent Walter I. Ford estimat-
ed that the registration had reached
6lO in the grade and high schools and
by Monday morning the figure will
very probably go close to $50. Of
this enrolment about 1876 are high
school students with the majority of
the remainder in the classes in ses-
sion at the grade school building. All
grades above the fifth A., meet in the
high school building and there are so
many pupils in the sixth and seventh
grades that all available seats are oc
cupied and new accommodations are
being provided. The various grades
include 475 children.
The enrolment this year shows
little better than the usual increase in
Student population. Last year the to-
tai number in school was 58S. of
which l29 were in the high school
glasses. The school industrial exhi-
bition in connection with the county

APPEALS FROM ORDER
ACTION AGAINST INDUSTRIAL
ACCIDENT COMMISSION.
West Salem Parents Contend That
insufficient Sum Was Allowed
After Sons Death.

Early next month Circuit Judge
Belt will hear a case here that is
unique in Oregon court proceedings
because of the fact that it is the first
of its kind to be put at issue in this
state. This is an appeal from the or
der of the State Industrial Accident
commission in the matter of an award
to William r. Moore and wife as q
life income after the death of their
son, caused by cave-in while he was
engaged in digging sewer ditch at
West Salem some time ago. The COM
mission ordered that Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore be awarded an income for life
of $40. The Commission took into
consideration the amount that the
son might contribute to the support
of his parents and set $40 as the sum
to cover this. But Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore contend in their appeal that
they were totally dependant upon the
son for support, and that the order
OF the accident commission is insult
ficient to provide their livlihood. The
case will be submitted on briefs to be
filed not later than October Z, and
Judge Belt will decide the case on the
evidence shortly after that date.
There is no precedent to follow in
dealing with this appeal, as there is
no record of an appeal ever having
been made to the order of the State
Industrial Accident commission.

Reception Cav.

Yesterday morning the attendanc.
at the Monmouth Normal school hal
reached 325, considerably more thar

tution in the many years of its exist.
once as teachers training school.
AT the end of the second week oe
school last year the enrolment was
232, so that the present attendance is
an increase of approximately fifty per
cent. That young men do not seek
the general training of the normal
schools, but rather confne their stud
les 70 speciality lines, is evident from
tie fact that of the registration. at
Monmouth of 325 only about 30 are
boys. The brick work on the train
ing school building is well under way,
and the contractors plan to have the
job finished and the building equip
ped by the time school opens for the
second semester's work. This is 10 be
n thoroughly modern building, and
equipped with the latest and most
modern accommodations to be in
keeping with the rest of the normal
school equipment. The Monmouth in
'titution is rapidly forging ahead and
$ favored in its progress by the fact
hat the two other schools in the state

DISEASE PLAYS HAVOC
GERMS LIKELY TO DAMAGE BEE
AND FRUIT INDUSTRY.
Honey Producers May Prove Menace
Throughout the Pacific Northwest,
Says Prof. Kincaid.

'Nosema apis, the germ which work
ed havoc with the bee industry OF
the Isle of Wight, off lshe coast 0.
England, decade ago, has suddenl,
appeared on this coast and threatens
great harm, not merely to the honey
producers, but the fruit trees of thu
northwest. The organism has beer
identified by Professor Trevor Kin
caid. He is seeking what science has
not yet suggested-a means Of coping
with the little known disease. AL.
ready large number of apiaries in
western Washington and several
across the Cascades have been invad-
ed by the germ, and countless thous-
ands of lhe insects have died The
peril to the fruit industry is that
which will result from the reduction
in the number of creatures which aid
in pollenizing the blossoms. Flower
gardens will, of course, suffer too,
from lack of fertilization.
The diseases would not spread so
rapidly, according to Professor Kin
taid, were it not for the thieving ma
ture of the bee. The insect is exceed
ingly industrious, but quite as thor.
oughly dishonest, he says. Combined
in gangs of raiders, they invade each
others hives or colonies in relentless
conquest. Where the disease mani
tested itself in a hive, the occupants
are weakened in numbers and in
strength. Poor defenders, they new
ertheless wreak a desperate ven
geance unconsciously, for the invader
in turn falls victim to the deadly
nosema apis. In brief reference to
the epidemic On the Isle of Wight, !
where the production of honey is a
most important industry, Professor
Kincaid obtained shadow of infor-
nation concerning the disease. The
authority he finally located has served
him no further, however, than to fix
The identity of the organism which is /
costing bee-keepers a handsome for
;une this summer
The germ which causes the sick
ness is in the honey of affected colo
MES. 1t takes five days for the dis
Ease to develop in the healthy bee.
Professor Kincaid offers no sugges-
ion for the treatment Of the afliic-
ion, but hopes to find a drug that
an be mixed with the honey, destroy
ng the germ without doing harm to
he bees. The investigation may take
everal months. Professor Kincaid
kinks it quite possible that the dis
ase may spread over the entire coun-
ry and even abroad Some of the
ees seem immune to the disease, and
e looks to the breeding of these i'm
,une bees to restock the ravaged :
piaries. This was the method sue ]
essfully pursued by Pasteur some !;
ears ago when a disease, of which !

old TIMERS GATHERING
POLK COUNTY PIONEERS MEET
AND ORGANIZE.
Secretary of State Historical Society
Present and Makes An Interest
ing Address.

About $50 of the first settlers OF
Polk county and their lineal decend-
ents perfected an organization Of the
Polk County Pioneer association at
the fair yesterday afternoon when
George FL. Hines, secretary of the
Oregon Pioneer association was in the
city to direct the formation. ]. T.
Ford took the initiative in the actual
organization yesterday when he di-
rected brief address to the prospec-
tive members of the association. He
was followed by Glenn o. Holman,
whose few reminiscent stories were
entertaining, and by Breeze Gibson,
who, as small boy, crossed the plains
in the early fifties. Mr.. Hines also
addressed the group and outlined the
purpose and ambition of the proposed
association and all signed the regis
ter, thereby becoming members.
The idea of the Pioneer association
is to keep alive the memories of the
settlement of Oregon, and Polk coun-
ty particularly, by bringing together
those who took an active part in that
settlement, which. according to Mr..
Hines, was and will remain unique in
the worlds history, and to bind them
and their offsprings in bonds of fel-
lowship that they may forever hold
dear in their hearts the historical tri-
,ls and tribulations incident to the
population Of the state and county.
There were many in the gathering
yesterday who are bent and grey from
lge, and their interest in the creation
# the pioneer society shows plainly
low wildly the early day memories
'emain fixed in their minds.
Plans for the details of the organi-
alton will be announced later.

crops all over the Luckiamute valley
were good this year, and hay, too is
in store. The large quantity of wheat
is being held in the warehouses of
the county, principally Monmouth
and Independence. Farmers expect
no sales until the prices make radical
changes. The quantity Of clover seed
in Polk county was fair, and this is

Walnut Crop Very Good.

An inspection and examination of
the walnut orchards in the Willamette
valley has just been competed by
Prof. c. l. Lewis, head of the horti-
cultural department of the oregon
Agricultural college, and Fred Groner
an extensive grower of walnuts. Ac-
cording to Prof. Lewis The general
outlook, both as to quantity and quail
ty, is the best for several years and
bearing trees are well fruiteI. Add
ing to this crop, that from a number
of orchards just coming into bearing,
insures an excellent yield for the val
ley.
