TEACHERS PROTEST
s0NNEMAN BILL TARGET FOR
VIGOROUS ATTACK.
Resolution Adopted By Umatilla
County Teachers Favoring
Equal Privileges.

A bomb was exploded among the
teachers gathered at the court house,
says the East Oregonian, when Superin-
tendent Welles read them house bill No.
BAL, which has been introduced by
Representative Sonneman. The pro-
visions Of the bill are such that il pass
ed would virtually put teachers who are
not normal graduates out Of their pro-
fession, for it specifies that in the en-
ployment of teachers normal graduates
shall be employed in preference to non
graduates whenever any of the former
are applicants.
In the opinion of teachers here, this
law would be most pernicious, for IT
would place old experienced teachers
secondary to the youngest normal
graduate when it came to securing en-
ployment.
Before the examination was begun the
above matter was discussed and il was
decided to draw up a vigorous remons-
STRANGE against the measure. On motion
a committee was appointed to draw up
the resolution, and Harry Huber, T. @.
Salt and s. E. Darr were appointed as
such committee.
The following resolution was unan
imously adopted:
Pendleton, Greg, Feb 10, 1905.
Whereas, The adoption of house bill
No. BAL would be hardship on the
holders Of valid county certificates after
June, 1906, and
Whereas, The best county teachers
may be superseded by the poorest hold
ers of state papers, and
Whereas, The salaries of all teachers
being insufficient, the first step in the
better preparation of teachers should be
to provide for the better compensation
OF all persons engaged in teaching; now
therefore
Be ii resolved by the teachers present
at this meeting that so long as teachers
are granted county certificates they
shall have equal privileges with holders
OF state certificates or normal diplomas,
merit being the sole test.

A BIG STOCKHOLDER
The United States JOines the ApprOp-
 riatOrS Canal Company.

The Appropriators Canal company recieved a telegram from the depart ment of the interior saying that the United States would become a stock holder in the company. It came a. bout in this way: The course of the canal lay through an eighty-acre tract forming part of the Indian school reserve north east of the city. In fact, the canal will pass diagonaJly through the tract. This was a mat ter of much concern to the Appro- priators for the condo mnatiOn of this land was out of the question. They were also afraid that their appli- cation to the department to pass through it would meet with opposi- tion at the hands of the Arizona Water company. What they intend ed to do had to be done quietly and ap- plication was made some time ago for right of way.
 It was further feared that the de- partment thought it might grant it in the end would hold up the application for a long time, thus delaying the work which the Appropriators are SC anxious to complete. The work ot building the canal had almost reache the east line of the reserve and there was a fear that a gaI would have to be left. That would certainly have called attention to the fact which seems to have been over. looked that the canal had to pass through the tract.
 The telegram announces that the light of way will be granted and that the government will take stock in the canal company as compensation for the land. This was more than the Appropriators had hoped for.
 The Appropriators' Canal company is now something in the nature of a public institution. Beside the farm CTS who went into it in the beginning and the United States which has just signified it's willingness to come in, the territory, the county of Maricopa and the city of Phoenix are stock holders. The city is in for more thar HOO acres of land and the county and the territory for each more thar 50.-Republican

Waiting for the Coming of the Railway.

Ranchers and miners from Nam moth and the San Pedro confirm the reports that the Phoenix &5 Eastern railway has paid gold coin for their right of way clear to Benson. The present terminus of the road is at Dudleyville, twenty miles below Mammoth.
 This is taken as proof positive that the Phoenix & Eastern will shortly be built to connect with the Fl Paso x Southwestern at Benson, and now that the right of way has been secured, the company will in- crease their men and teams and push the work to completion.
 In the vicinity of Dudleyville the present activity in mining, caused by the presence Qf~the railroad, is indi- catize~of what will happen at and 1near Mammoth, when the road reaches that point. The great Nam moth mines and mill will start up, and the Table Mountain, Copper Creek, Bunker Hill and Gold Noun tain mines will blossom out into pro- ducers.
 Adjoining the Mammoth and Mo- hawk groups is the property of the Santa Catalina Gold Mining company, pronounced by miners and experts as being the center of ore deposits of that section. The Santa Catalina Gold Mining company is anxiously awaiting the advent of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad, when a large force of men will be put to work on their great working tunnel, surveyed to pass through and cut the giant croppings of the Red Hill, that gigantic mass of iron-stained quartz just west of the Thomas and the main shaft of the Mammoth-C Collins, at a depth of 750 feet.
 This tunnel is expected to and un- doubtedly will open enough ore tor two hundred stamps for probably a hundred years. The ledges and values both go down in the Mammoth district, as evidenced by the develop ment. The hoist ot the Mammoth Is some $50 feet below the apex of the Red Hill deposit, and the Mammoth is developed to a depth ot 75O feet, which insures like depth to the ores of the Red Hill, i. e. l, 100 feet.
 The massive croppings of gold ores displayed on the Red Hill are cov- cred by the Standard and Treasure mines, owned by the Santa Catalina Gold Mining company, and the pro- jected working tunnel will develop the deposit to 75O feet, and admit of ore being mined at a minimum of cost.

Two Men Shot.

There was serious battle on South Meyers street between Kennedy and Seventeenth streets, about midnight one day last week.
 The parties to the affray had been drinking, and as they moved to the south they came to blows, in which, at the point just mentioned, Ventura Mendivies was shot in the stomach, the ball penetrating the liver. The shot is supposed to have been fired by one of the Pogue brothers, who formed part of the mix-up.
 Louis Pogue was cut in the face and back, while James Pogue, also one of the crowd, received cuts in the back and head.
 Sheriff PaChecO, Under Sheriff Henry Meyer, Deputy Tom Mills and Constable Jack Dufton followed the Mendivles and others, first having sent the Pogues to jail.
 Two of the Mendivles brothers, Ig- nacio Alvarez, who was brought up by the Mendivles family, and Guada-
 
 drove beyond the Indian village, and then, for a time, the officers lost them. The Mendivles party came back to the village and were taken, except Candido Mendivles, who jumped from the wagon and made for the brush. He was shot in the thigh by an officer, but kept on.
 The Alvarez boy, one of the Men, divles boys, and the woman, Mungia, were brought to jail. and then Sheriff . Pacheco and Tom Mills saddled horses and went out again after Can dido Mandivles, whom they caught about daylight. The officers were eminently successful, having all per sons concerned under custody. Ven tura and Candido being cared for at the home of their father. They and the PogueS were treated by Dr. Ser win, the cases of the Mendivles men being the most serious, possibly in the case of Ventura dangerous Star.

Michigan-ArizOna to the Front.

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Michigan-Arizona Mining company, held in Stafford, August 21, very hattering report of the companies affairs was made by Secretary T. T. Swift.
 This company was organized about year ago with it's home office in our city. They began operating on a group of claims across the river but at S5 feet were driven out by~@ater and temporarily abandoned work there. They then began work on a group of claims in Piral county, al d have met with great success.
 There has been done on the last group mentioned some 300 feet of work, uncovering some very large ore deposits and in which values run high in copper with a by-product of silver and gold. The last assay shows copper A per cent, 5 ounce silver and S1.20 in gold.
 The company is at present doing only development work and no effort has been made to extract the ore outside the workings-and yet they leave in round numbers about $50, ,0UU worth of ore ready for the shelter. Taking into considerat tion this large amount of work and values is the re- suit of for m en's labor in less than four months, it is showing a remark 1 b1a a6Uapcamapt
 The company being in the hands of good management and backed by eastern capital with the right kind of a property upon which to work it is sure of success and we predict the Michigan-Arizona Mining company will in time stand among the leading mines in the production of copper.
 The old officers were re elected for the ensuing year without opposition. This speaks highly for them as their efforts for square dealings and sue cess for the company are highly ap- preciated, and they are making d record for economy that will be hard to Stafford Guardian.

A New and Powerful Explosive.

The new explosive which is attract ing worldwide attention in military and naval circles, is the invention of Major Dunn, of the ordinance de- partment, who is a brother to c. P. Dunn, formerly of Clifton, but now residing in Fl Paso. Major Dunn is now at Fort Riley, Kansas, where the government is making experiments with the explosive. Last week a large stone blockhouse was built on Morris hill, on the reservation, and this was used as target by the bat tery. By the use of the Dunnite shells the battery, at a distance of nearly two miles, demolished the blockhouse and riddled the infantry silhouettes that were in trenches be- hind and at the side of the fortitica- tion. Later, three caissons that con- tained ammunitian were placed in a ravine north of Fort Riley. One of the caissons contained Dunnite shells and the other two contained the regulation field battery ammunition.
 At distance of 2,O00 yards the battery shot into the caissons. Each was struck by shells, but the one that contained the Dunnite was the only one that exploded. The eX- plosion was terrific, and the caisson was blown to splinters. After Dun- nite shells explode, very few frag- ments of them can be found
