tion to the relation which ! conceive

members OF county examining boards
bear 10 the work which II Ia to under.
take.
New Mexico needs the best qualified
persons as teachers 7 n her public
schools that can be secured for the
money placed at the disposal Of the
employing boards. In my opinion
nothing should be left undone to 10.
euro the services Of such persons. It
is well known that III most counties
there Z many persons teaching on
third grade certificates who need q
course Of thorough and systematic In
structIon before they could be consid.
cred. when Judged BY reasonable stand.
ards. competent to teach in any school.
There are also many who expect TO
teach and will soon present themselves
at your examinations who need the adj
vantages offered BY . good school be-
fore they enter upon their work. It Is
evident that only In exceptional cases
will ony Of these persons seek to quail
ify themselves better for their work,
except o. they are practically forced
to do so by the examining board. In
other words, 1t Is the examining board
that determines In large measure the
quality Of instruction that u being CIV.
on In the country and small town
schools IN each county.
Until the present. no school has At
tempted to meet the special needs Of
these teachers but the Summer
School at Las Vegas II being organ.
lied for tho express purpose Of meet
Ing their wants. As indicated In the
inclosed circular. this school offers IN
usual advantages ~ regards faculty,
equipment and teaching facilities. and
I entertain the hope that you, as q
member Of the examining board Of
your county. will point out to all teach
ers In your county whose qualifications
do not meet your approval the un-
eauAled opportunities offered by the
school In question. You know tho
teachers who are In greatest need Of
tho work TO be done by this school
and ! take tho liberty OF suggesting
that you communicate with such per
sons, urging upon them the advisable !
Of awaiting themselves Of It's nd
yantages.
II New Mexico Is to take her place
In tho sIsterhood Of states, she must
SEQ to II that her public schools need
no apology. ! trust ! may depend on
your support for the realization Of this
end.

Huffman today for stealing hose. TT

Huffman today for stealing hose. The
crime was committed during the noon
hour yesterday. Harry Jones was
working on some man holes for the
telephone company on Third street be-
tween Poplar and Alder and had about
100 feet of hose in two almost equal
lengths. One of these ran across the
street and the other down an alley to
a hydrant. When Jones went to work
after dinner yesterday he found that
some one had sneaked the part of the
hose in the alley.
Colman claimed he was very drunk
when he took the hose into Shank
junk shop thise morning to sell. He
said he was so drunk that ne did not
know what he wos doing. He also
said he remembered distinctly that a
man give him the hose. He said be-
sides that he was as innocent as
child. The court thought otherwise.
He had no money and will serve out his
sentence.

NAME IT LOCAL AFFAIR
KENNEL CLUB CONSIDERS HOLD.
ING SHOW THIS FALL.
Believed That 100 Dogs Would Be on
Exhibition--Campaien for Men,
bers Begun.

Members of the Walla Walla Kennel
club are yet undecided whether or not
to hold show this fall. A meeting
was held at the Jones-Scott office last
night and the matter was gone over in
detail but owing to diversified Opfn-
ions expressed, d decision will not be
reached until later on. The executive
committee was instructed to take the
matter up and investigate the feasibil-
ity of holding a show and report two
weeks from last night.
Many of the members are favorable
to holding a local show exclusively and
if any outside fanciers wish to show,
we'll and good. There are a number of
fine dogs at Dayton, Pendleton and
Waitsburg that will be entered and
with those from Walla Walla it is fig
ured at least IS dogs would be on exhi-
ton. In addition to this the manage
ment can safely count on at least 20
dogs from the Sound towns and Spo-
kane.
We are in rather a peculiar posi-
ton for holding a show at this time,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-09

Secretary George Mason said this
morning The Pacific and Western
Kennel associations are at loggerheads
and until their quarrel is settled the
American association will not recog-
nize either one of them. This works a
hardship on us unless we wish to hold
! local affair and formulate our own
rules By doing this we can hold a
very creditable show and would be as
slred of quite number of entries from
the eastern part of the state and Ore
son, besides some dogs from the Sound
and Spokane. Altogether we would
probably get 100 entries if not more.
The matter has been left entirely in
the hands of the executive committee
and they are instructed to report in
two weeks.
A committee composed of H. O.
Peck. John Green and Samuel Loney
was appointed to solicit membership to
the new club.
