gone further in school than they have.
Many old teachers, trying to get a
better certificate, have their papers
read by girls who have never taught
day, 1t is stated, who may know, q
little, of Latin and comic sections, but
who have not glanced for many years
1T the subject in which they must pass
upon the qualifications Of others.
Another custom that may call for
some criticism is that of having the
names of the examinee on the papers.
1t is alleged that when the readers
find the paper of some friend they
overlook the faults. One varsity girl,
Just out of the freshman class, after
reading the papers of classmate in
high school, said:
II don't think she would have
passed if some one else had read her
paper. But l marked her as high as
] could"
she was not quite as friendly, she re-
marked:
You bet 1 did not give him more
than he deserved
At any rate there are lots of let
tiers coming in to the state superin-
tendent complaining of the marks.
Many of the complaints are from
teachers who have taught several
terms and have fallen down when
their papers were read by the varsity
girls.
The summary shows that of 5,107
who took the examinations only 2,315
will receive certificates. The situa-
ton is not quite so bad as these fig
ures would indicate for not all who
took the examination were applicants
for certificates. A few of them took
only part of the subjects to have the
credits applied in the future, and there
were some who passed every subject
they took, but as they did not take
all the subjects they did not get GER
tificates.
The 5,107 applicants sent in 29,14S
papers. There were 176 complete first
grade certificates granted, 81 condi-.
tional first grade, 1,076 complete sec
ond grade, 391 conditional second
grade and 5S1 limited second grade,
a total of 2,315. A year ago there
were Sab applicants, 3O,641 papers,
1872 complete first grade certificates,
50 conditional first grade, 1858 COM
plete second grade, 412 conditional
second grade and 422 limited second
grade, total of 1888.

British Planning to Cut OFF Ger

ARE FL|RT|NG WITH AUSTR|h-HUNGARY
FOREIGN SECRETARY GRAY is
NOW PREPARING SPECIAL
ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT.

LONDON, April 3.-One of the most
significant collateral developments of
the Algeciras conference is a general
entente between Great Britain and
Austria Hungary, arising indirectly
from the exchange of views between
the London and Vienna governments
concerning Morocco.
1t is understood that Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign secretary, mind
full of the early expiration of the term
for which the triple alliance was last
renewed, is planning a special agree
ment the conditions of which will still
further isolate Germany, though not
preventing a further renewal of the
driebund for purposes strictly limited
An entente is not, of course, an alli
ance, but it is very effective substi-
tute for an alliance.
1t is also evident that Germanys
methods of pushing her North African
aspirations have resulted in a distinct
fusing of interests by Russia and Spain
with the Anglo-French partnership.
Spain, whose people have entirely
resented Germany's policy Of regard
ing Spanish interests and influences as
her lot with France with an enthus-
iasm that makes TeutOnic diplomacy
while Italy, although observing the ut
most discretion at Algeciras, is pro-
claiming by a hundred tongues her
sympathy with the French program.

Wa|Ia Wa|Ia is to be Made More
Beautiful
FIFTY THOUSAND CLUB TAKES UP WORK
PLANS WERE ADOPTED AT MEET.
ING OF EXECUTIVE CON-
MITTEE LAST NIGHT.

At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Fifty Thousand club last
night plans for identifying Walla
Walla were adopted and in a few days
the campaign will be inaugurated in
earnest. Everybody in the city will be
asked to get in line and back up the
club in the effort that will be put forth
to give Walla Walla thorough clean
ing up and general overhauling.
The plan is to have general COM
mittee to be composed of one gentle
man and one woman in each of the four
wards of the city. Each ward is to be
divided into districts and sub commit
tees appointed to have charge of the
b-divisions. Alleys, streets, yards
and vacant lots are to be gone over
with brooms, rakes and other appli-
ancec and every vestige Of debris,
refuse and dirt is to be removed.
1t is proposed to set apart one whole
day in the near future for this work,
and it is the hope of the Fifty Thou
sand club that every man, woman and
child in the city will respond to the
appeal and assist in making Walla
Walla more beautiful.

LANDED ONE OF THE BUGGY PEDDLERS

ton with local dealers. Since the SUI
preme court decided that the peddling
law was unconstitutional, representa-
lives of eastern buggy factories have
been doing a big business in Walla
Walla county, much to the detriment
of Walla Walla implement and vehicle
dealers, and the latter are naturally
very much elated over the fact that one
of the bunch has been compelled to
pay taxes. A close watch will be kept
by the deputy assessors in other por-
tons of the county and an effort made
to tax every vehicle that can be fount
in the possession of the travelling
agents.

DAYTON CITIZENS JOLLY HOSTS
Woodmen Excursion Last Night Was a
Huge Success-Many Prominent
Citizens Made Trip.

The Woodmen excursion to Dayton
last night proved a pleasing affair and
some 125 Walla Wallans who enjoyed
the hospitality of Dayton citizens for
three hours voted them a jolly lot,
Notwithstanding their little effort to
grab off some three townships of Wal
la Walla county and annex them to
Columbia.
In addition to a large number of
Walla Walla Woodmen some 50 citizens
and members of the Walla Walla Com
mercial club made the trip. The
special train pulled out of the w. &
c. R. yards at $50 o'clock and made
the run to Dayton in the record time
of one hour and thirty minutes. A
number of Woodmen from Dixie and
Waitsburg boarded the excursion train
at those points, swelling the big crowd
from Walla Walla.
Met With Brass Band.
AS the train pulled into the Dayton
depot the excursionists were met by
the Dayton lodge with a band and sew

were escorted to the courthouse, where

and c. D. Elliot, state deputy OF Mod
