SPECIAL ELECTION FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
 TO BE HELD NOV. 24

By vote of three to two, the City Council at a special meeting Saturday night declared the office of one school board member, Mrs. Richard Mccormick, vacant. and voted to hold an election to fill the vacancy. One member of the council, Hans Loken, was absent. Mrs. Mccormick, who was presi- dent of the Board. has been south since early last summer, a period of time greater than the law al lows before a successor must be appointed by the Council, if a choice suitable to the other two members can be made, or in other events, elected by the people.
 Quite a number of townsfolk were present at the meeting, who took part in the discussion. The question involved was whether or not to wait until Mrs. McC0rmick's $ return, which is said to be indefi- nite. Resolutions from sthe PIT. A. asking that the vacancy be filled, had been received by the Council.
 The date of the special election was set for Saturday, Nov. 24, and candidates for the position must file with the City Clerk by next Monday. Notices of the election must be posted in the meantime.

 Aerial Game Place Kick Wins

PORTLAND, Oregon, Nov 12.- Norman (Red) Franklin, Oregon state's An-American halfback, and Maury VanVhet, University of Ore gon's mighty mite of a ball-car- Tier. staged a brilliant battle on sawdust covered Multanomah Sta dium here Saturday but the Mighty Mite won. Oregon defeat ed oregon State, to 6, to thrill Portland's great turnout of foot ball fans.
 It was a passing duel from the word Go" with the freckled-faced Franklin bringing touchdown for Lon Stiner's Battling Beavers, only to have the accurate VanVliet toss for an equaling one later. Neither conversion was made, with the Oregon three-point place-kick giv- ing the Ducks victory in their an nual state championship battle
 The victory, although a thrilling one for Oregon supporters, meant nothing in the Coast Conference race, inasmuch as both teams had met defeat before. However, it was a glorious triumph for the Eugene students whose after-game cele- bration was as wild a one as the Rose City had seen.

D. c. LIQUOR FIRM
FINED IN TAX CASE
BottIing Company Pleads
Guilty to Charge of Sell.
ing Without Stamps.

Fines totaling 81 900 were assessed
today by Police Court Judge Gus A
Schuldt against the THYME Bottling
Co., liquor dealers, after a plea of
guilty was entered on a charge of fall
ing to affix District liquor revenue
stamps to quantity Of whisky sold to
retailers.
This is the first conviction obtained
by the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board for violation of the provisions
of the amendment to the District
liquor law requiring the use Of Dis
trict revenue stamps as means Of
collecting taxes on business in alco-
holic beverages.
Use of the stamps became effective
June l.
There were two charges of failing
to affix stamps TO bottles of whisky
sold by the THYME Bottling Co., and
a plea of guilty was entered in each
case. Edward Curran, assistant cor
poration counsel, assigned to handle
liquor law violation cases, recommend
ed that the maximum penalty of $500
be assessed.
Three other charges. alleging that
the THYME Bottling Co. had sold
wine of more than IA per cent al
coholic content to concerns licensed
to deal only in light wines, were
nolle pressed
The case on the revenue stamps was
taken to Police Court after a trial
before the A. B. c. Board. The Ii
cense to deal wholesale in alcoholic
bottled goods, held by the company,
is not to be revoked, the A. B. c.
Board believing that that penalty
would be too great for the offense
committed.
The concern has plant in the
1900 block of Florida avenue north
east, said to be valued at S150,000.
