The recent county teachers exam
nation held here was pronounced by
the members OF the examining board
to be much harder and longer than
usual. Professor PEBBLES, of the Nor
NAL School, who is one of the board,
critfcises the state board severely for
sending out such unnecessarily long
lists of questions on the various sub
jects Prof. PEBBLES was himself on
the state board of examiners for 10
years and he does not believe in caus-
ing so much physical hardship as was
endured by the teachers at the re-
cent examination. In speaking of
the matter this morning, he said:
II believe that an equally thorough
test could have been made by the use
of one-half the questions that consti-
tuted the examination and those taxi
ing the examination would have been
spared much of the physical and
mental strain"
According to the professor, Thurs
day was the hardest day of the exam
-ination and to handle the four sub
jects upon which they were examin-
ed that day some of the teachers
were forced to work from 8 o'clock
In the morning until nearly that hour
In the evening, some of them not dar-
ing to take time in which to eat.
Taking a series of examinations
one after the other is a great nerv-
Gus and physical strain at best, es-
pecially for young women, and this
time the subjects were SO long that
IT was much worse than usual" said
Prof. PEBBLES.

The Pilot Rock Record is thinking

spent in the purchase of new screws
for the old Washington hand press.
The editor, however, will insist upon

otherwise he might lose his job.
Therefore there will be no change in

WEALTH IN WHEAT RAISING.
Splendid Record Made by John Ban
lister, of Weston.

What may be accomplished from
wheat farming in Umatilla county is
Illustrated by the success of John
Banister, the well known wheat raiser
from near Weston.
Mr.. Banister began wheat farming
only four or five years ago, without
capital, and rented land from Indians
on the reservation. He was success
ful, and last year purchased the CHM
place of 160 acres near Weston for
$4,000. From the first crop of this
place $32 per acre was realized. Last
year, from the 4S0 acres which he
had in wheat, Mr.. Banister reaped a
crop OF 10000 bushels, This he sold
for "A cents, thus receiving 14,0e0,
for his crop. The three quarter sec
tions of land now owned by Mr.. Ban
lister are worth $4,000, a good stake
in itself to be made in such short
time
