NEW PROMOTION SYSTEM.
Examinations Largely. Done Away With
in City Schools.

Anew plan. having to do with the
promotion Of pupils from one grade to
another has been put In operation by
Superintendent Payne in The public
schools Of the city. Hereafter all pu-
pills whose standing in the regular work
of the class room has been such as
TO give assurance of their passing the
examinations win be promoted without
the customary inquisition, and will go
on with the usual school exercises dur
Ing the two weeks Of each school year
which have hitherto been given up
solely TO examinations. This scheme
applies only to pupils Of assured prof.
cheney, the proportion of pupils affected
being from two-thirds TO three-fourths
the members of all classes, according
to the opinion of Superintendent Payne.
Others, whose regular class perform
ance has not in the opinion OF their
teachers been up to the standard, or
about whom there is some doubt. will
be examined as usual. The condition
of certain few. who for unusual prof.
cheney, even under the old system, were
excused from examination, will not be
affected
The superintendent, the school board
ana the teachers are comment OF good
results from the new arrangement. A
saving Of time for the regular work of
the schools Is assured. The school
year, owing TO limited funds, has re-
Gently been cut down from ten to nine
months, and the efforts of the teachers
to accomplish for the pupils :he work
of ten months in term of nine, shor-
tened again by the two weeks Of ex-
animation. have not been entirely sue
cessful. The Old arrangement called
for too much work of hurried and
careless character, alike unsatisfactory
to teacher and pupil. Complaints have
also been heard from parents, In the
case of pupils of weak or nervous tenn
peramert, who have been pushed be-
ycnd their capacity, and instances OF
children brought by fear of the exaal-
nation to condition OF utter unabil-
ity to meet the tasks imposed. are not
at all uncommon. 1t is believed that
the new system in the matter OF ex-
aminations will result in general good
all around.

The opinion ls quite generally ex-
pressed al Salem that an Glection can
not be accomplished this week, and
some hazard the opinion that the legis-
laturc viii not succeed IN electing any
one Of the candidates now In the
field. RumOrs OF dark horse are
heard. and Judge Lowell. Of PcndletOn,
liz pointed out by some az possible
compromise candidate. Among the
COrbctt supporters from CfatsOp cOun-
~ are Representative Iahr and James
w. Welch and F.. c. Reed Of Astoria.
Senator Simon put up strong plea
for Improvement on the columbia river
al The Dallcs and at Cello before the
commerce committee. He urged the ne
cessity cf opening up the river At these
points. and the advisability Of adopting
the cana, ana lock system recommend
ed by Captain Harris
Representative Nichols has prepared
u bill calculated 10 lessen the loss Of
human life Occasioned by carelessness
on tie part Of leer hunters. His bill
reads in part as follows:
Section 1.-If any persJn, while
hunting for any kind Of game, mistakes
any human being for any game or any
nanimate object and shoots at said hu-
man being and kill the same such per-
son shill be deemed guilty OF felony.
and. upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by imprisonment not less than
one year nor more than ten years. Sec
tIon 2.-If any person, while hunting
for any kind Of game. mistakes any
human being for any game or any
animate object and shoots at said hu-
man being and wounds the same. but
not fatally. such person, upon conylc-
ton thereof. shall be punished by i'm
nrsonment In the county jail not less
than three months nor more than one
year, or by fne not less than 500 nor
more than $500"
A measure dealing with the question
OF divorce Is to be introduced shortly
providing an amendment to the present
law. The feature OF particular interest
In connection with this bill Is that it is
intended to prevent people going into
other counties than their own to secure
legal separation. Under the provisions
A the proposed law II would be prac-
lically impossible for either husband
or wife TO secure divorce without the
knowledge OF the absent party. Con-
siderable opposition is anticipated when
the measure comes up for consideration,
but II is believed II VIII be passed.

be propelled by steam or gasoline or
operated with pedals like bicycle. 1t
is intended for travel ON the upper Yu-
kon or anywhere on ice or ordinary
sled roads The skates are operated
by driving rods attached to a double
pltman, the skates running in a slot
IN the frame which rests on rollers.
Steel doss on the skates, attached to
springs, are connected with driving
rod which drives the dogs into the ice
and gives the needed purchase.
On good ice Mr.. Banks Is confident

The legal distinction between. a prize

prize fight is IA contest which is under

while sparring match is contest

that no expert testimony as to whether

be decided whether prize fight or Il

Interstate Railroad Commission Filed
Its Report.

Washington, Jan. 5.-(Spl)-The
fourteenth annual report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission which
was given to Congress today recon-
mends further legislation to enable
it to carry out it's commands and rul-
ings. The report says the unitication
of the railway lines is the most signi-
flcant result of current railway flnan-
cierlng. Under present conditions dis
elimination and endless acts of in
jusice occurs. and all this favors the
few at the expense of the many. 1t is
evident that the railways will soon
be thrown into great groups and seri-
Gus competition will disappear.
The danger lies in the fact that the
only check ON the rate dies when COM
petition seases. 1t will lie within the
power OF small group of men to fix
the rates and the people must protect
themselves against this misuse of
power. The gross earnings Of the
roads representing 19O,406 miles are

Under the laws OF this state prize

expressly prohibited. BoSlpg contests
