Teachers' Association.

In an effort to make the State
HTeachers' Association a larger and
more influential body, at the meeting
at Winthrop College last summer the
committee on reorganization, which
had been appointed the year before,
made report the principal feature of
which was the recommendation in re-
gard to permanent membership. A
recommendation was also made that
a committee Of three be appointed
from each county to secure members
and arouse interest in the state as
sociation. The recommendations were
unanimously adopted.
In order to get this information be-
fore the teachers Of the state, Mr..
E. 5. Dreher Of Columbia, the Presi-
dent Of the Association, has sent a
circular letter to all the County Sup
erintendents, 104 town and city sup
erintcndents, and % colleges through
out the state, in which an urgent
appeal is made for more earnest ef-
fort in behalf of the State Teachers
Association. Accompanying these let
ters were about 1000 membership
pledge cards for use in securing new
members.
Heretofore, membership in the as
sociation has been very irregular and
uncertain, but by the plan now pro-
posed those who sign the cards for
membership will be considered men,
bers in good standing, subject to an
nual dues, until a written resignation
shall be sent to the secretary. This
plan has been pursued by the Nation
al Association since its organization.
Many state associations follow the
same plan, which, indeed, seems to be
the only one that works successfully.
Should the plan outlined prove
successful in largely increasing the
membership Of the association, as it
is hoped and believed it will, copy
Of the minutes of each annual meet
ing, including all addresses and a
complete list of all members, will
be sent to each member of the asso-
citation.
While this association is primarily
teachers organization, any white
person may become a member by pay
ing the annual dues which are one
dollar for men and fifty cents for
women.
Persons who do not get regular
membership card and who may wish
to join the association can do so by
filling ont the form given in the cir
ct'lar letter below and complying with
the instructions therein given.

bill passed by the house Is the anti

Purdy, together with the election of
a superintendent of the penitentiary
will b held next Wednesday. Judge
Gary and Supt. Griffith have no op-
position, while T. B. Fraser, now
chairman of the judiciary committee
OF the house together with Wilson,
are named as candidates for Judge

ATHLETES GOOD IN STUDIES.
Football Players of U. Of o. Stand
High in Their Classes.

University of Oregon. Eugene, De-
cember 9,-Unlvers!ty of Oregon
football men during the season just
passed have made good records in the
class room as well as on the football
field.
The records of the registrars Of
flee show that of the 20 men COM
posing the regular squad, only half
dozen have received grades as low
as I'D" in any of their subjects,
There have been no failures and
their work as a whole compares fa-
vorably with that of last year, when
in the final examinations in Febru-
airy, the football team ranked slight
ly better than the average for the
whole student body.
The records show also that for the
two months just past, football men
have cut fewer classes than any 9TH
er class of students. Reports of alb
sences of all students are sent to the
registrars office daily and a careful
record is kept. The university works
on the theory that students are there
first to study, and this means regu-

Golfers Weekly Approves Plan of
Pocatello Tribune

That the Pocatello Tribune's sage
brush fiesta idea has caught the pop
ular fancy not only Of the people of
the west but of the east as well, is
attested by the fact that Golfers
Weekly In its last issue editorially
places its stamp of approval on the
plan. Golfers says:
Festivals to celebrate the creation
Of something are familiar, but fes-
tival to celebrate a disappearance Is
something new. That is what Idaho
proposes to have. The sage brush
is retreating from the arid west be-
fore the advance of irrigation, and
the Pocatello Tribune has suggested
that its parting be speeded by a
"sage brush fiesta" to mark the
Transformation of the desert into a
region of farms and homes. The
idea has struck root, and the fiesta
is to be held at Pocatello next year.

CAR SHORTAGE HURTS MARKET
Apple Growers of Washington Lose
Heavily by Inability TO Ship Crop.

Unable to secure cars for shipment
earlier in the season apple growers
of eastern Washington, with a big
percentage of this seasons crop on
hand. are securing the worlds mar
kets to find an outlet for their fruit,
says the Walla Walla Statesman.
Washington growers are practically
shut off from the eastern market,
owing to the danger of stock freezing
while in transit and as the Pacific
coast market is limited and already
overstocked, the outlook for a main
tenance of high prices In vogue
earlier in the season, is decidedly
blue.
According to Seattle wholesale
houses there are several hundred
cars OF Washington apples yet un-
marketed and growers are looking
to the orient for an outlet for their
surplus stock in cold storage until
spring if the sitution does not i'm
prove and new markets open up be-
fore freezing weather sets in.

BIaIock Fruit Company Loses.

Because of the inadequate car SER
vice furnished Slippers of Walla Wal
la during the fruit season, the Bla-
lock Fruit company considers its fl
nancial loss between $4,000 and
$4,000 for the season, says the Wal
la Walla Statesman.
During the entire season." said
Manager C. f. Nosler, last evening,
"the companies asked us to give an
estimate of the number Of cars need
ed. We gave them the information
desired and Immediately entered in
to contracts with fruit ranchers for
their produce. During the season we
purchased fruit ito the usual extent,
but when we were ready to ship we
were unable to secure sufficient
number of cars. Before the
railroad companies were able to
supply our demand, the price of fruit
was greatly reduced. Apples which
were selling on the market for $3.50
to 81 per case, was reduced to rs
cents and 81 per case. We figure our
loss all told, between $4,000 and
100000 for the season."

IDAHO GAME LAWS PROFITABLE
Money Rolls Into state Game War
den in Receipt for Licenses.

State Game Warden w. n. Steph-
ems. who was in Pocatello this week
on his way to Fremont county, is
greatly pleased with the operation OF
the new state game law regarding
game. licenses. saying that 1t has
worked real wonders in the protec-
tion of game. says the Pocatello Tri-
bune.
Last year the net receipts of the
fish and game department. from IL
censes sold. were about 100000. A
commission OF 10 per cent was paid
on all the licenses sold. making the
total amount of licenses bought about
$22.25O. This year with 20 per
cent commission to the agents for
selling the licenses. the net receipts
will be between $4,000 and $4,000
a net gain of about 80 per cent, while
the total sale reaches to between
$4,000 and $4,000. The exact fig
ures will not be known until Janu-
airy. the reports for each month be-
ing due at the state office on the
18th of the following month. The
total sales have been so per cent
higher than last year.
And this gain does not represent
a greatly increased number of hunt
ers or fishers, either. While there
is perhaps a gain over the preceding
year most of the gain comes from
the sale OF licenses to hunters who
In other years had not found it con-
venient to buy licenses, and so hunt
ed without. From about 200 indif-
ferent license-sellers of last year,
there are now 400 who are after every
man who carries a gun. The old COM
would not attract anyone to
handle the licenses but now there is
a great demand for the agencies.
