At a 8| ecial meeting of the City Council last Tuesday evening the city fathers discussed and passed upon many issues until a late hour.

The assessments for the paving done by the Linden-Kibbe Company this Summer were n.ade, and upon two of the three streets the estimates were found to be identical with the proper assessments. On A Steeet, however, a small overcharge had to be declared. Carl Kumpe, of the company, asked for the warrants covering the intersec­tions, but was ret used until the next regular meeting, which will he on Octo­ber 14th.

Grading was established on several streets of the city as follows: On Main Street from the south line of Thiru Avenue to the north line of Fourth Avenue, and continuing on Fourth Avenue from the east line of Man. Street to the east line of A Street. O.i First Avenue North from the west lin. of A Street to the east line of B Street. On C Street from the north line o f Pa­cific Avenue to the south line o f First Avenue North. On B Street from the north line o f Pacific Avenue to the south line of Third Avenue North.

The Mayor reported having made a trip to Carlton to see about wood for the city electric plant. The present wood supply is dangerously low, anu consideratile trouble has been experi­enced in securing an additional supply. For some reason the wood orUered troni the Carlton mills has not been shippeu by the railroad, and the delay has caused mucii inconvenience.

Alter a lengthy discussion concerning the meter question the ordinance was referred to the light committee anu City Attorney for amendments. A special meeting will likely be culled the first o f the week to consider this measure, which wul place the electric service of the city entirely on a meter basis.

Students UrgeFriends to V ote

We, the Associated Students of the Willamette Valley, including all stu­dents attending the University of Ore­gon from Washington, Polk, Benton, Linn, Yamhill, Clackamas and Marion counties, in meeting assembled, resolve as follows:

First, that we believa it to be the overwhelming sentiment o f the people of the Willamette Valley that the present facilities for education in Oregon are too small rather than too great.

Second, that the future efficiency of Oregon’s educational system depends u p on opportunity for undisturbed growth, that the policy o f political agi- ration in educational matters has been pursued by certain individuals in Oregon

Saturday the older sons of Pacific will vie with the present representa­tives of their Alma Mater for the season's football honors. The Alumni team this year is credited to be strong, and will have a likely chance of more than breaking even with the Varstiy squad, which has had little training to < date.

After the game the students will tender their annual reception to the Alumni, at which time many prominent sons and daughters of Pacific Univer­sity are expected to be present.

Yakel, New C.achThe new football coach for the season

of 1913, Ralph Yakel, o f Portland, has been engaged, and was on the campus with the men Monday. He is a man who comes highly recommended, not only by the Y. M. C. A. of Portland,

1 but by his former trainers and college associates in the East. He had five years’ college experience playing in football, under such coaches as Hall, of the University of Illinois; Gillesby, of the Northwestern University; and Scott and Muhl, at the Illinois Wesleyan University.

for six years with merely negative results, and that there is no prospect of any definite solution through the holding up of reasonable appropriation . We believe that the only result o f such action would be further partisan cam­paigning, political deals, and misuse of direct legislation.

Third, o i the other hand, the election called for November 4th furnishes the first opportunity hat has come in Ore­gon ror many years to put education on a firm basis, by constructive and not d structive methods, es{>eciitlly as here­after the needs of both university and college will be taken care o f on a mod­erate and reasonable scale by the millsge bill, which removes both insti­tutions permanently from politics.

Therefore, we urge all friends of ed­ucation in the Willamette Valley to register for the election o f November 4th, and to vote at this elect.on uphold­ing the most moderate appropriations for much needed buildings for a state university made by any state, and we direct that these resolutions be sent by our president and secretary to each newspaper in the Wi lamette Valley, with the request that they be published, and that the papers use their great in­fluence to bring out a representative Vote at this election.

WASHINGTON COUNTY TAKESFOURTH PRIZE AT STATE FAIR

Washington County with but little general effort, captured the prize as the fourth best county in the state. The credit for the June exhibit belongs to ! L. D. Westfall o f Tualitan, the man-! ager o f the exhibit, who claims that1 with an early start formext year that | Washington county ought to he an easy winner over all. Douglos county cap­tured first place, Benton second, Clack­amas third, Washington fourth and Tilla­mook fifth.

Many local people attended. Many Forest Grove and Washington County '

people bre in attendance at the fa r. The weather has been ideal and the largest attendance in years has been received. Amusements, races and ex- hib.ts all have been at unusual advan­tage on account of the warm weather.

the opening day. On account of the judging it may be impractical to have a stock parade on the first day, but it is the intention of the management to have the prize winning stock exhibited on parade at least the last two days.

The members of the County Poultry Association, who have charge of the poultry sh .w, promise'a great show of royal blooded poultry of every class.

There is no longer any question that there will be a great showing o f the county’s agricultural and horticultural resources. Last week H. T. Buxton, Superintendent of the Agricultural De­partment, shipped to the State Fair a large amount of material which he had collected, to be shown in connection with the county exhibit at the big fair, then returned to the County Fair, to­gether with a large amount of addi­tional material collected by L. D. West- fall, o f Tualatin, who has charge of the county exhibit at Salem. Every day other materia! is being located and collected, so that by the day of open­ing the big tent, which is to house this department, will undoubtedly cover an exhibit well worth seeing.

The Woman’s Department will be none behind the others, either in the quality or the quantity of their ex­hibits. Superintendents in this division are working hard and promise a mag­nificent display of the finest of cunning, baking, fancy work, and in fact every kind of household skill. Exhibits in this line will be judged by Mrs. Dr. Uushnell, wife o f the new President of Pacific University.

Every one is always interested in what the juveniles are doing and at the fair there will be one big tent all their own, in which the results o f every kind of work and training they are receiv­ing in their school life will be shown. The school children parade on Friday, the 10th. Public School Day will be one o f the big features o f the Fair. Fvery child in the county up to four­teen years o f age will be admi'ted free on that day, and they should all insist on being there to help boost for their own school in the parade. The parade on that day will be headed by the Queer.

Let it be known far and wide that Tues­day, November 18th, is apple day all over the country.

At the same time you * e made aware of the date for the
