Difficult Examination.

During the three days of the
teachers examination, which closed
Saturday, l541 pages Of manuscript
were written and submitted by the
fifty applicants for certificates. The
papers are being scheduled and ar
ranged by Superintendent PHILLIP g.
preparatory to forwarding to Olym~'
pia, where in due time they will be
passed upon by the state educational;
department and the results an
novnced. To say that that the eX-
animation was difficult, in spots at
least, would but mildly express the
opinion of large number of the
teachers, and Judging from remarks
made, no first grade certificates are
expected The questions and the
problems, many of which are alb
surd when made to test the quail
fications of teacher, emanate from
the state board Of education and
must be followed strictly and lit

A Dangerous P1aything.

Last Saturday as the youthful
sons of B. J. Taylor and l.. J. Lind
ley were playing around together,
one of them happened to find
dynamite cap, and thinking to,
make a little noise, and add vari-
ETY. to their fun, the cap was gently
placed on rock and not so gently
tapped witha hammer. The thing
exploded all right enough, but with,
much more force than they had an,
ticipated. Several pieces of the
cap found lodging places in the
boys hands and legs, making pain
ful but fortunately not dangerous
wounds. DR.. Powell was called
and removed the pieces and dressed
their wounds.
We think we are safe in saying
that if these boys find another
dynamite cap they will either not
disturb it, or give some other small
boy the honor of operating the
hammer while they get behind the
house and listen.

Weekly Report of the State Wea

Harvest in Full Blast, and Some
Threshing Done.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. Il, 81.


The week ending Monday, Aug
ust 10th, was moderate during its
fore part. but quite hot during the
last three or four days. The tenn
perature averaged about7O, or some
six degrees above normal; the max
imum temperatures ranged between
20 and 95 degrees in the western
section, and between so and 100 in
the eastern section. The week was
a dry one in all sections, except for
light showers in the extreme west
ern part of the state on the 10th
and 11th, and local thunder storms
in the east on 18th. The effect of
the hot weather and lack of rain
has been to dry up pastures in some
cases, and shorten them generally.
Root crops have been FASTENED to
maturitA, and are getting ripe too
early; this is especially true Of po-
tatoes. Hops are reported to have
grown we'll. Apples would be
greatly improved by rain.
The week was, however, u per-
feet one for harvesting, and an
enormous amount of grain has been
cut. Nothing has yet occurred to

Busy Times at the Penitentiary

The iute mill at the 'pen" is utilizing
all the help available in making grain
sacks, but, owing 10 the enormous crop,
there are orders ahead for over 100, 600
sacks The daily output is about 7,O0O'
which cannot he increased, owing to the
lack OF skilled men to run the looms
/ There have been many eXpiratlogs OF
sentences in the past few months, taking
away some of ttfe most valuable and eX-
pcrienced men in the mill. Until sui
ficient number can be taught, it will be
impossible to put on night shit, which
wonld double the output, The supply
Of raw jute now in the warehouse IS sui
licient to keep the mill running at the.
present rateuntl next January. An
other large lot has been ordered, ana
there will not be any stoppage for want
of material to work upon until alter the
-nexf harvest. The price OF 5}2 cents for
sacks is still in force. There is no in
-tentfon Of raising it.
The brickyard gang has been kept busy
this summer. Two large kilns have
been burned. The first had about 350,-
900, and the last one over 800 600 bricks.
The local demand ior. brick has been
greater this year than for several sea
sons past, and shipments to outside
points have also beer heayy.-Dayton
