AWARDED PRINTING

MONTESANO, May 24.-The Monte
sanO Vidette has been awarded the
county printing for another year, at
a very low rate, some of the prices in
its bid covering not much more than
the cost of paper. Bidders for the
contract were the Vidette, Aberdeen
World, Montesano Call and Elma
Chronicle. The Vidette was awarded
both job printing and publication con-
tracts for the year. The Montesano
Call protested against the award,
claiming that it's bid was as low as the
Vidette's.

CLASSIFICATION
Of Grades Under the New System OF
Promotion TO BE Inaugurated In
the Public Schools Monday.

II the patrons of the Center and
First District buildings will read this
article carefully there will be no need
of any misunderstanding relative to
the building their children should at
tend at the beginning of the new
semester.
At the Center building Miss Martin
will have grades A and A. Miss
Hattie Gray 4 B and A; Miss Will
son 6 r and A. No change in the
7th and Sth grades as we now have a
teacher for each as it should be. At
the First District Building Miss Nash
will have the / A and B; and Miss
Hurd "a and 3 B. Miss DeBold 3 A.;
and Mrs. Marsh B and A. This
means that all 3rd and 9Th grades
below Limestone Creek will be in the
First District Building and all 4th
and 9th grades will be at the Center
Building, there being no changes in
the other grades.
Under this arrangement 1t will be
possible for us to have the proper
grading and classification mentioned
in previous articles and will permit
us having the Mid-year promotion
which are so essential to the progress
of the pupils. | will repeat this illus

tration that It may be clear in the
minds of all of the parents. Miss
Hattie Gray has AZ pupils Of the Bird
and 4th grades. If each Of those
grades were divided into an A and b
Section, which must be done to have
Mid-year promotions, she would then
have four different grades consequent
ly, four different class schedules in
the one room which is practically an
impossibility considering efficiency.
The same condition prevails exactly in
Miss DeBold's room in the First Dis
trict Building Now when we give Miss
Gray the 4th and Miss DeBold the 3rd,
1t is very evident that under those
conditions mid-year promotions are
feasible.
1t is my firm conviction that any
parent obiecting to such arrange
ment is clearly working against the
interest of their children for whose
same interest we are giving our best
energies.
1t will be my pleasure to advise with
any and every parent concerning the
changes above outlined and | will en-
deavor to make everything as clear
as possible. The Board of Education
and l feel that even though there be
criticism at first, time will prove the
wisdom of the change and that jan
uary 29th, 1917, will be in few years
one of the Big Days in the Calendar
Of Maysville's already glorious
achievements.

EXCITEMENT AT
SOCIALIST MEETING

While excitement prevailed here Fri
day night when members of the Hood
River Socialist party, who had planned
meeting at Heilbronner hall, were
refused the use of the building, around
which a guard was set, all was quiet
Saturday. The hall is used several
times weekly for public meetings and
dances. At the time it was rented for
the night for the Socialists meeting.
the artillerymen did not know foI
what purpose it was to be used. Be-
cause of talk for the past several DAYS
by Socialists, it was feared that Fri
day'night's gathering might result in
seditious utterances. In view of the
possible contingency that reasonable
talk might be made in their quarters,
the company officers felt that it would
be impossible to allow the Socialists
the use of the place. Capt. Wilbur
furthermore told the Socialist leaders
that the hall was needed for drill
The Socialists repaired to Library
hall, where an address was delivered
by "Red Kate" 0'Hare, editor of the
st. Louis Rip Saw, whose talk was
very mild. Her nearest approaches to
seditious talk was when she made
veiled criticisms of the conscription
act. She also stated that the govern
ment was run by Pierpont Morgan and
Billy Sunday. The meeting was at
tended by about 75,practically all alien
born.
For fear of possible disturbances,
members of the artillery company
guarded the armory throughout the
night.

FRED ". WILSON
IS CIRCUIT JUDGE

Attorney Fred w. Wilson, of The
Dalles, received the appointment by
Governor Withycombe on SATURDAY. to
the Office of Circuit Judge for Hood
River and Wasco counties to fill the
unexpired term of the late Judge
Bradshaw.
Mr.. Wilson is deserving and qualified
for the office, as he has practiced law
in Wasco county since he received
his certificate many years ago. He
served one term as Wasco district at
torney and since then has been con-
ducting private practice.
At the last election he was defeated
by Judge Bradshaw for the office to
which he has just been appointed.
The people believe that he is fully
capable. Mr.. Wilson's father, Joseph
c., was first circrit court Judge in
eastern Oregon, who was appointed to
that judgeship by Governor Gibbs and
sat when the district comprised all of
the territory east of the Cascade
mountains. Judge Joseph Wilson af-
forwards was elected to congress and
died in harness. The new judges
mother also was an Oregon pioneer
prominent among the women of east
ern Oregon.
With Mr.. Wilson one of the attorn-
eys for the defendant cooperative
agency, a judge from some other juris-
diction will have to be called here to
take the bench for the hearing of the
case of the Hood River Orchard Co.
VS.. the Apple Growers Association.

CIRCUS WILL BE AT
COLUMBIA PARK

Next Monday the mid Columbia will
have the third circus in the commun-
ity's history. According to Geo. T.
Prather, the first worlds greatest"
visited Hood River 80 years ago-the
old MacMahon Bros. show. Twelve
years ago the circus of Hamilton Bros.
was here.
"0n that event" says Mr.. Prather,
''the city had the largest crowd ever
present on the local Colubmia gorge
side. People came here from all points
of Klickitat and Skamania counties,
and from this valley"
Circuses have always fought shy of
Hood River because of no available
space large and level enough to permit
of stretching the big tops in the Lower
City. 1t is necessary to haul the
heavy wagons almost mile to the top
of the gorge. Officials of thescircus
declare that they made the town only
because they will have all day Sunday
to move theirsparaphernalia to the top
of the hill. The circus will pitch its
tents at Columbia park.
