Nearly Half The Teachers Fail.

Almost half of the teachers who took
examinations for first, second and
third grade certificates last week have
failed and those who have been teach
ing on permits are now out of posi-
tion, says the Pendleton Tribune. The
examination in nearly all subjects
was unusually rigorous but the sub
ject was mental arithmetic that proved
the most difficult. Many of the ap-
plicants who received high marks in
nearly all studies failed almost utter
ly in the mental arithmetic test and
accordingly the general average was
greatly reduced,
A number of those teachers who
failed on that account are considered
most successful instructors in the
lower grades, but as they we're unpre-
pared for the "stickor' they win be
compelled to resign. Many of the
teachers also who have failed received
high enough averages for second
or third grade certificate but fell a
few points below the required aver
age for a first grade certificate. The
general average for first grade GER
tiilcate must be 80 per cont.
Professor PEBBLES, a member of the
examining board, said yesterday that
the list of questions was the most rig
id which has been prepared by the
state board for number of years. but
that the teachers had been made
aware of the fact the state educational
department hoped to raise the stand

ingly entered the Jail with a Dallet
attorney. His cell Is dark and on
entering they found Williams lying on
his bunk. A light was lit; but the
prisoner refused to look up, turning
his back and remaining so while they
were In Jail. A number of school
teachers were inspecting the Jail last
week and desired to see Willimas.
As soon as he heard some one coming
he hung a blanket over the cell door
and seated at his table he turned his
back to his audience and continued
his writing Thus, when they pulled
the blanket aside and peeped In they
only saw his back. He is anything
but sociable,

UNDERWOOD MAY
HAVE DAILY MAIL

Underwood people are hopeful the
postal authorities win grant them a
daily mail service in the near future
Postmisstress Dark received a COM
munication recently asking if there
was anything that could be done to
better the service for Underwood post
office, and she replied that daily
service would be appreciated, and
that the patrons would also like to
have a money order office.
A change has recently been made in
the arrival of the mail from Hood
River. 1t formerly left this office at
Z 80 in the morning. Hereafter the
mail from Underwood viii arrive
in Hood River at $3.50, and leave for
Underwood after the noon train from
Portland.
This will give the Underwood people
an opportunity to receive Portland
morning papers the day they are
printed.
Jim Haynes, who was in the city
Saturday from Underwood, says 81
men are at work in the Moody logging
camp of the Menominee Lumber Co.
on the north side of Underwood
mountain. As the logs are sent over
the bluff in a chute, the loggers in
this camp are independent of any in
junction concerning the driving of
White Salmon river
The government authorities have
ordered the lumber company to re-
move the dam they constructed at the
mouth of the White Salmon river.
This dam changed the current of the
stream and ruined the boat landing
at Underwood. A great amount of
sand has been deposited, and the
eddy whore the boats we're accustomed
to land is 50 shallow that it is impos-
siple to get within landing distance
of the shore Mr.. Haynes says there
has been considerable feeling aroused
over the matter.
There have been no developments
regarding the wharf the people of
Underwood have arranged to con
struct. 1t is reported that Manager
Campbell Of the Regulator line has
offered to pay a large sum for rent of
the deck if the citizens Of Underwood
will build it. Mr. Campbell promised
to have surveyors run lines for the To-
cation of the dock, and they are ex-
pected soon to arrive.
Since the stoppage Of navigation on
the Columbia by floating ice, the
stock of provisions in the Underwood
store ran low and Mr.. Haynes was
compelled to make trip to Hood
River to procure supplies for himself
and neighbors
Rabbits are plentiful about the
home of Mr., Haynes on the Under
wood bluff, but he says without a
dog he is without the rabbit potpie.
Mr.. Haynes put in his time last week
building large and commodious
barn.

Was a Brilliant Dancing Party.

The dancing party last Wednesday
evening in the Knights Of Pythias
hall was decidedly the most fashion
APPLE and brilliant affair of the social
season. The decorations we're elabor-
ate and beautiful. A maze of bright
red hearts hung suspended from the
ceiling, while little cupids graced the
walls. The creations carried out very
successfully the sentiment of st. Val
entine. EVergreens added to the
beautiful effect, while potted palms
and other plants converted the stage
into beautiful bower, and added to
the attractiveness of the decorations.
The young women in charge of the
party were the recipients of profuse
congratulations for the decided sue
cess of the dance. They had accom-
plished wonders in transforming the
spacious hall into thing of beauty
and a scene of gaiety, and spared moth
ing in adding to the attractiveness of
the surroundings and the entertain
ment of their guests.
Dancing began promptly at 8
o'clock, preceded by an overture by
Everests' superb orchestra. The
grand march was beautifully executed
Mr. and Mrs r. Norman Young led
the march, and we're followed by rs
couples. 1t was few minutes after
] o'clock when the last extra had been
danced, and the strains of Home,
Sweet Home" floated over the ball
room. Punch and cakes was served
by two little girls. The usual pro
gram of waltzes and two steps was
interspersed with minuet and the
lancers. Dainty card programs were
used.
The young women who we're the
hostesses of the evening were Miss
Baker, Miss Cramer, Miss Groves,
Miss 0linger, Miss Howe, Miss Blythe,
Miss Cross, Miss Kelsay, Miss Hoad-
ley, Miss Songer. The patronesses
we're Mrs. Edward N, Blythe. Mrs.
