PoRTLAND,s LEAoING TOWER


The western coast may have its
Leaning Tower of Pisa after all. But
it will cost them nearly $2,000,00O.
! Portland's million -bushel grain
elevator, characterized by some as
"the Great Mistake" is gradually
sinking in the paleoZoic ooze of the
Columbia river. Why, the engineers
are not agreed. The huge cylindri-
cal storage buildings and operating
house, containing thousands of COL
lars worth of machinery for the OPP
Grafton of the storage tanks, each
day sink just a fraction further into
the mire of the river.
It is the contention of some en-
gineers who have been asked by the
city of Portland to make an examina-
ton that piles were driven Tor the
support of the structure in shifting
sands, and that tests show no solid
bottom could be reached even at a
depth of 162 feet. There is nothing
| to show, they add. that there is any
solid bottom at all.
Just the other day piles were driven
at the corner of one of the storage
tanks in an effort to bolster 1T up.
How successful this will be, the en-
gineers say, is mere conjecture. But
If the plan is feasible-if the build
ings can be held even though they
tip Just tiny bit-why, then Port
land has it's Leaning Tower, GER
tainly as large and much more costly
than the queer structure Of Italy.
Efforts of state organizations OF in
dividual and collective engineers, of
! the commission of public docks of
the city of Portland, who built the
elevator, to determine the best course
| for Saving the structure have ar
rived at no definite and final method
as yet.
No blame nor responsibility for the
| failure to ascertain the soil condi-
ton upon which the buildings were
erected has yet been made, but there
are those interested who hotly con-
tend that some such responsibility
should be fixed.
And in the meantime tourists
leave the many hotels daily and spe-
cial autos carry them to the scene
of the modern Leaning Tower.

Yale Schools Will Open Sept 2.
Many Foreign Students Expected.
Commercial Course Is Added.

The city schools will open Tues
day, Sept. End, and we are glad
to announce to Yale people and
the people of the surrounding
country that the coming year
promises to be one of the best we
have ever had. The science
courses of Yale High are recog-
nized by the University and 9TH
ers who know, to be among the
best offered in any of the high
schools of the state.
We have with us again to take
charge of the mathematics, Mr..
l.. j. Menerey, who left us in the
spring of 1918 to enter Uncle
Sans navy. Mr. Menerey has
had some valuable experience
and comes back to us with renew
ed zeal and enthusiasm for his
work, so that this department will
be handled successfully. The
Latin, English and History will be
handled by Miss Num- and Miss
Hineman, who come to us with
the very best of credentials and
will no doubt prove to be first
class teachers.
AS will be seen by consulting
the new Course of Study we are
adding complete commercial
course and we shall be able to fit
our students for office work.
This course covers four years,
letting the 9th graders who elect
to take the commercial course be-
gin with spelling and penmanship
together with arithmetic and rap
id calculation. Miss Marshall
will have charge of this work and
| have full confidence in her sue
cess with it.
We are making some other
changes in the course of study
and as we are able to offer
much larger range of electives
we are sure that we shall be bet
ter able to meet the varying neds
of all the students who come to
us. The tuition has been raised
a little, but it is still less than the
actual cost per pupil for main
tanning our schools.
| shall be at the school ubilding
all day Saturday, Aug. 3Oth, to
consult with parents and pros
pective students concerning the
work of the year.

The Whole County Is Ready For The
Big Home Coming Event To Be Held
At Port Huron Sunday and Monday

Bright and early Monday morn
ing the boys will go to The Times
Herald and get the bronze medals
which have been selected by the
medal committee. A representa-
tive of the Expositor has had the
privilege of seeing all the medals
that were offered by various COM
panies in the u. S., and the one
which has been selected is a fine
showing of good taste on the part
of the committee. Every boy
who went from this county is en-
titled to one and this may be had
upon request at the office of the
Times-H Herald the morning of the
second day, Monday, and it is re-
quested that all who are entitled
to them secure them before the
parade which forms at 10:30 and
moves through the principle
streets of that city and coming
to Pine Grove Park where a large
picnic dinner will be held, which
will be free to all service men.
Bands from the county, who will
give concerts, and will furnish
music during the time of the pic
mic, which will be followed by a
large program of athletic events.
The afternoon will be spent in
the way most desirable to the in
dividual, since there will be ex-
cursions on the lake from 2:30 un-
til 4; aeroplanes from Selfridge
field to thrill the thousands who
delight in watching them; speed
boat races on the river opposite
the park together with other at
fractions that have been secured
to make the day complete.
A street dance will close the
doings and this will be held on the
street beside the Port Huron post
office in a large roped space that
will be well lighted and celebrat-
ers who will spend the evening
here in this novel event will step
to music furnished by the Port
Huron band.
Our little city will send a del
egation; our band is going and
many Yale business men are on
the committees. Those in charge
in Port Huron are expecting a
large crowd from this part of the
county and it is hoped that local
folks and service men will all be
there to help make the county
homecoming a huge success.

LETTER FROM THE
BOY SCOUT CAMP

The Boy Scouts pitched their
summer camp at Cedarwood on
Monday, August Ilth The par
ty this year is composed of twenty
boys. Kenneth Lacy went out
the first week in charge of
the boys. while Vernon Stable
ford did the honors Of chief cook
The boys all seem to be having a
good time this year, as there has
been no military work and outside
of the few necessary strict camp
regulations, their time has been
their own to have as good time
as they pleased.
The cooking, as all the boys
will testify, has been excellent,
considering the fact that it has
all been done on three-burner
oil stove, and that it has been
done with the provisions taken
out at the start. No one has ad-
ded to the larder by sending out
extra home-baked goods as was
usually the case in former scout
camps.
The first day was spent in or
ganizing the camp and getting il
in running order. Tuesday night
great deal of commotion was
caused by several jokes being pull
ed off. The swimming is fine at
all times and the boys are spend
ing most of their time in the wat
er. Friday night the whole
crowd went to Lakeport and Saw
a typical country dance. The
rest Of the week was spent chiefly
in camp as it rained most of the
time.--Contributed.

Letter From C. 4. Wells.

Bay City, Mich, Aug. 16, 1919.
Mr.. J. A. Menzies,
Yale, Michigan.
Dear Friend:
A few weeks ago l could not
help but note the big change that
had taken place in the appearance
of The Expositor and noticing
still further improvement in this
weeks issue in the addition of
two more pages of home print. l
Just couldn't refrain from writing
you few lines and congratulate
ing you on the many improve
ments that your new Linotype has
made it possible to make in your
paper. AS you we'll know you are
prepared better than ever to give
the people of Yale and vicinity a
good live newspaper, one that
they can point to with pride. The
addition of the Linotype makes all
of this possible and will also work
in nicely in your job department.
note where you and few
of your friends spent week or
so at Sage Lake camping and read
the article on the fine time you
had and the amount of fish you
had to eat. 1t is sure a fine place
to spend a week or so as / can
vouch for, as | left there about a
week before your arrival, after
spending week camping on Ter
ans island only a short distance
from where you people were sta
toned. We got our butter and
garden truck from Mr.. Hutchin-
son whose farm is very near
where you camped. | was over to
the hotel several times while
there and know the exect spot
where you camped. There were
eleven in our party and we had
three gasoline motor boats go
ing most of the time either TROLL
ing or joy riding. We were like
yourselves we had so many fish
we could hardly look one in the
face towards the last. If there is
anything l like it is reeling one of
those pike" and we sure brought
in bunch of them. Only one
little incident to mar the trip and
that was blowout on my ma
chine on the way to the lake when
about half way there from Pres
colt making it necessary to take
one of the other machines and
hike back to town after new
tire before proceeding ! note you
people discovered some mud and
bad roads on the way up But
then all of these things go in with
the trip.
Trusting The Expositor will
continue to grow and be prosper

the state will also be heard from
the large pavilion in the park. In
the evening it is planned to have
Vesper services in the Auditorium
to close an appropriate Sunday

fallen and in giving thanks for
those who have been able to come

Monday is the big celebration.
And the officers of the organiza-
ton have been working day and

Held for Ransom.

Yale people will certainly be in
terested in learning that one of
the aviators taken prisoner in
Mexico recently was. Lieut.. Paul
H. Davis, who delighted the sight
secrs here on Caledonian days
July 3 and 4, with his splendid
airmanship.
Lieut. Davis was then station
ed at Mt. Clemens. Later he was
transferred to the Mexican border
and while on scout duty, he and
companion were compelled to
land on Mexican soil, owing to
some trouble with the engine of
the plane. They were captured
by bandits and held about ten
days, while the capturers sent
word across the border that un-
less $4,000 was forthcoming the
aviators would be killed.
The government Immediately
took steps, the ransom was paid
and the men were returned to
American soil. Lieut.. Davis was
known as one of the most skillfuI
pilots ever stationed at Selfridgt
field.
He and his companion, Lieut.
Snow were entertained at the Ex
positor home while in Yale, anc
we found them both perfect gen
tlemen, interesting takers, accom-
modating and agreeable.

least twenty-five girls rose up
out of the darkness along the
roadway about four miles the 9TH

that we do our bit in the cause
of humanity by carrying the bag

panions, the loading up began,

that little chummy roadster car
ried eighteen girls and some lug
gage about four miles to the home
of Mr.. Gillis and returned for the
remainder of the party while
the two men folks did little foot

The party had started from the
camp at 1880 Wednesday evening
and when five miles out, became

their blankets on the hay in the
barn on the farm of Mr.. John

many wriggly things disturbed
the peace and finally they were
