SEPARATOR BURNED
Smut Causes Explosion and Hodgens
Machine Goes Up In Flames
No Grain Loss.

The Lando Hodgen's separator was
destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon in
Donald McDonald's wheat field, as the
result of smut explosion. There were
two distinct explosions, and the sepa-
rator tender, a man named Sutton, who
was on top of the machine had a mar
row escape.
After the first explosion, he ran
along the top of the machine, and had
just crossed one of the lids when the
machine burst into sheet of fame
ard the second explosion sent the lid
skywaId. Sutton was severely burned
about the face.
The separator was totally destroyed
together with the derrick table. Mr.
Hodgens had $1,000 insurance on the
machine. By heroic endeavor, the
crew prevented fire spreading to the
grain field. Only about 30 sacks of
wheat had been threshed and these
were saved.
Smut has caused considerable dam
age to machinery in this and Walla
Walla counties this season, hut this is
the first machine to be destroyed in
this vicinity during this harvest.

GETS RESTRAINING ORDER
Old Fight Between Oregon and WASH
ingtOn Sheepmen Renewed.

A temporary restraining order has
been issued by Judge Gilliland of PEN
dleton. holding up the order to Wash
ington sheep men to dip their sheep.
Attorney H. @. Bryson secured the
order Saturday in Pendleton, and a
bond of $4,000 was deposited by Mr..
Bryson, says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
This is another step in the fight be-
tween the sheep men of Oregon and
Washington. Oregon has been work.
ing for years to keep Washington sheep
men from usirg the Wenaha reserve
for grazing purposes, and at last the
session of the legislature succeeded IN
getting through bill providing cen.
ditions under which Washington sheep
would be allowed to Craze in Oregon.
Among these provisions was a clause
regarding the dipping of sheep. which,
ii complied with, would make it prao-
tically impossible for Washington men
to Craze their herds in the Wenaha
reserve. The matter has been fought
in several courts, aud in practically
every instance resulted in victory for
the Washington sheep men.
The late controversy was instigated
when Washington, d. G., officials re-
fused to honor an order of Forester J.
M. Schmitz, prohibiting the dipping
of sheep on the reserve. Mr.. Sohmitz
claimed that water was low on the re-
serve, and as the dipping of sheep
would necessarily pollute large
quantity of water, he ordered the
sheep taken off the reserve to be dipped.
AS it was Impossible to do this without
entailing great expense, the Wash
ington sheep men allowed their fiocks
to remain without dipping.
But Inspector Lytle of PendIeton got
wind of the proceeding, and immedi-
ately stirred up trouble. AS result
Attorney Bryson has secured the re-
straining order, and Washington men
will not have to dip their sheep until
the case has Eeen heard upon the re-
turn of Judge Bean to Pendleton.

ONLY TWENTY TEACHERS PASS
Legal Question Involved, Which Caus-
ed Three Failures.

AS reward for two days faithful
application to the problems propounded
to them by the board of examiners, 20.
or exactly two-thirds of the entire 80
taking the examination for county
certificates, held at the county court
house last week, passed and were re-
warded with diplomas, says the Pen
dleton Tribune.
In discussing the results of the exam
inations yesterday afternoon, Super
intendent Frank K. Welles said
"There was a legal question involved
which, being misunderstood, resulted
in three of the teachers failing who
might otherwise have passed success
fully, There is a law which provides
that teachers passing two or more ex,
aminations with grade of 85 per cent,
or above, shall be exempt from further
examinations in that subject or sub,
jects. Now this law applies only to
applicants for first grade certificates.
But seveEal of the teachers who were
trying for second and third grade pa,
pers misunderstood this law and took
the exemptions until it was too late to
rectify it.
"We wired to Salem last night con.
cerning the law and the answer con.
firmed the Interpretation which we
placed upon it. 1t may be that those
teachers. failing because of the misin
depreciation of the law. which seems
to be quite generally misunderstood

provided they have not previouly held
two permits in this county.
"Another new law which caused the
failure of some of the applicants fol
first grade papers was the requirement
that they be examined in two addi-
tional subjects, English literature and
physical geography. have conduct.
ed two examinations since that law
went into effect and it has caused a
number of failures each time.
