c. G. Kinds, of Alameda,
Calf, who is to judge the Poul-
trv Show next month, has writ
ten Secretary Simpson a. con-
gratulatory letter, speaking in
highest terms of the management
of the show and the enter prise

, 1.-THE Premium Lists were
also received this morning and I
must certainly congratulate you
on the issue. 1t is as neat as

of hustlers and if the show isn't
the banner one of Oregon it will
not be your fault.'

Eighth Grade Examinations.

A circular letter has recently
been issued to the different coun-
,y superinteudents of the state
by Supt. Ackerman. The letter
takes up certain matters concern
ing 9th grade examinations to
be held during the coming year.
This is matter in which every
teacher and many pupils are
deeply interested. The dates
fixed by the State Superintendent
tor the coming 9Th grade ex
aminations are: January IS, 70,
20, 1905; April IL, IS, ID, 1905;
May II, IS, 10, 1905; June 7, 8

A program has been prepared
that must be followed in every
school. The following is the
program: Wednesday, Arithmetic
spelling and physiology, Thurs
day-Mental arithmetic, reading
and civil government, Fridavs-
Language, history and geography
Many questions arise concern
ing the source from whence the
questions of the various branches
are taken. To know this will
enable mary teachers and pupils
to better prepare for the work.
Questions in the following SUBJ
jects will be taken from the
following sources: Geography
State course of study, the coarse
print in Fry's Elements of Geog-
raphy.
Spelling-75 per cent from
miscellaneous test words in Reed S
Word Lessons, and IS per cent
from manuscripts.
Writiug-Vertical, Specimens

scripts.
Reading-Indicated selections.
Language--Reed's Graded Les
sons in English, no diagraming.
Civil Government-Chapters I
to IS, inclusive, and 81 to as of
American Citizen.
1t might be we'll for teachers
to note that the program gives
examinations in mental arith-
metic. Last year no examin-
ations were given in this branch.
The spelling will mostly be con-
fined to the test words.

plant with personal care. Most
of the work is done by machin-
cry and in such a way that the
most delicate fabrics are handled
with great care. There is nc
tearing or stretching, or breaking

A HIGHER APPOINTMENT MADE.
Promotion of Lieutenant=COlOnel
Darby to Colonel-Otf1er Pro-
motions at 0. A, G.

A general order issued from
regimental head quarters at OAC
lest Wednesday made an entirely
new Office and gave promotion to
several of the commissioned
officers. The new Office is that
of Colonel, and former Lieut.
Col. Darby was promoted to fill
the place. Major 7. A. Garrow
Is now Lieutenant-C Colonel, Capt.
F. B. Davis, of Company D. is
now Adjutant, Captain Quarter
master, Webster; Captain Com
missary, Shepard; M ajor Infantry,
Carlson; Adjutant-Lieutenant
Swan; Ouartermaster- Lieutenant
Pilkington.
The only change in Company
c. was in appointing Jackson as
Ist. Lieutenant. In Company
D. Steiwer was appointed Capt,
Damon 1st Lieutenant, and Nc
Lain, ed Lieutenant. JORDAN is
now I'd Lieutenant of Cavalry,
and Mccormick 1st Lieutenant
of the Signal Corps.
Other officers are the same as
was published in the regimental
roster in this paper October IA,
the above being only the changes
made since that date.
The military department of
OAC is now placed on the same
standard with the best military
colleges of the United States. 1t
is now thought possible to bring
the regiment to such a standard
of efficiency that will place it in
the list Of institutions of the
country from which two members
of the graduating class may be
appointed each year to the Second
Lieutenancy in the regular army.
The formation of the regiment
gives to the Seniors and Juniors,
who have drilled at least two
years as infantry, an opportunity
of learning the military science
and tactics of all the other
branches of the service. Among
the new subjects taken up will
be the typographical, surveying
and sketching sections of the
service, and the general court
martial, which is designed to
give the students practical know
ledge OF all the different depart
ments of military service.
