HAPPENINGS AT
 THE UNIVERSITY

The state 1edCnorS ASSOclatlOn In conjunction with the Pima County Teachers Institute and the High School Meet held at Tucson last week was a grand success in every way. Good programs were given in the diff ferent meetings and much good was derived from the association of the leading educators of the state. Dr. Whipple of the University of Illinois, Dr. R. H. von Klein Smid of the Uni versity of Arizona and other able speakers were present and gave some very profitable and inspiring papers. The superintendents and teachers from Greenlee county who attended report the meeting as the best ever held in the state; the program more progressive and interesting than i former ones; the professional spirit by far the biggest ever witnessed the whole atmosphere was of help. ing and encouraging kind.
 The faculty of the University leo by their congenial president made everyone feel at ease and at home.
 The State Teachers Association is composed of the highest independent body of school officers of the state and from it come resolutions which usually through the legislature be- come the laws that govern and control our school system, the professional cyrSi Sir-if hi fnh oixy md ofT phere to the teaching profession and the ethical code for the transaction of school matters. The men who com pose the association are the real live matters and to them we owe the rapid progress of our schools, the envy of neighboring states.
 The High School meet brings to- gether the best students of our high i schools in both intellectual and ath- ! letic events Being held in conjunc- tion with the State Teachers Asso- 1 citation and at the University of Ari- zona nothing but the greatest good I to our schools can be the result. Stud i ents compete, teachers exchange ideas and the faculty of the Univer- sity give timely suggestions. In | fact the meetings result in intellec- tual love feasts.
 Greenlee County was represented by Supts. Goggin, Lutz, Davis and i Principals Brannen ana Schink ana contestants from Duncan, Morenci and Clifton.
 In athletics Gila Academy won first, Phoenix second, Benson third Ez of Benson won the all-state in
 dividual cup winning 20 points, Tempe won the baseball trophy, Phoenix taking second. Goldberg of
 Phoenix won the singles in tennis easily.
 ! In intellectual contests no school won many Clifton won as her share three seconds and one first. Mildred Kelly took second in cooking and first in sewing Daniel Romero took second in both oration and rapid calculation
 Miss Kelly's ease and quiet manner were the marked points in her favor while the earnestness of MT. Romero in giving his oration was the marked point for him. Both received many encouraging words from contestants
 and visitors for their victories.
 It is to be hoped that more con
 testants will be entered next year ant
 arrangements made that will enabl,
 C. H. S. to go in full force.
 Why shouldn't the Greenlee Coun
 ty schools get together, pick thu
 best talent from the schools, dismiss
 the High School, send the teacher
 and contestants to Tucson on
 Special" as they do from the Sal : River Valley?

BOY ScoDTS TO PATROL BOTH GOA SITS

Daniels is understood to be keenly in terested in the part these boys may play in the war. Some are now used in teaching army recruits in sig mailing.

MICHIGAN PARTIES
BUY SlLETZ TIMBER

Frank Harding of Portland,
recently of Michigan, bought the;
Siletz timber offered for sale by
the Federal authorities at the
Portland landoffice last Saturday.
We are informed that the tracts
purchased will cruise about fifty
or sixty million feet of merchant
able fir and spruce. The tract
lies about a mile and a half north
of the present terminus of the
Miller Logging railroad, and it is
rumored that Mr.. Harding has
concluded a deal for the pur-
chase of this road, and is ne
gotiating for the purchase of the
Bade Lumber Co.'S. mill in this
city. The Harding interests own
other tracts of timber on the
Siletz, and it is presumed that if
the deals pending are put
through that the work of manu-
featuring same will be COM
menced at once.

FAREWELL SURPRISE
GIVEN MRS. AKIN

A farewell surprise party was
given at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Schenck last Saturday
evening, by the ladies of the
Whist Club. in honor of Mrs.
Akin, who will leave within a
few days for Salem. 1t was
hoped that Mr.. Akin could be
present but was unable to come.
About forty persons, members
and invited guests were present,
and spent the evening playing
whist. At midnight the usual
delightful luncheon was served.
Bert Geer, as spokesman of the
gathering, with a few approp-
rate remarks, presented Mrs.
Akin with a nut bowl, and picks
and cracker, as a token OF re.
membrance. Along with the
token was presented a list of the
doners. The prizes of the even-
ing were captured by w. Il. Ball
and Mrs. d. j. Sidey.

RECALL PETITIONS OUT

We are informed that recall
petitions are being circulated,
asking that a special election be
called for the purpose of recall
ing County Commissioner o. V.
Hurt of Waldport and County
Judge R. r. Miller of this city.
We have not been able to find
any one of the petitions and do
not know just what the charges
are. But we do know that the
people of Lincoln County should
not stand for an expensive recall
election at this time. We have
had three special elections this
year which is burden enough for
the taxpayers to pay. Personally
we don't go much on the recall.
If our officers are guilty of some
crime we believe that they
should be prosecuted and not
recalled.
All transactions of the County
Court are on record at the court
house, so let those who are be-
hind the recall come forward
and prove their charges.
