Portland Teachers GET Raise.

The salaries of school teachers now
employed in the public schools are to
be given a boost of from 10 to 20 per
cent at au early meeting of the board
of directors. The matter has been un-
der consideration for some time. but
whether OF not the 20 per cent raise
which the teachers ask for or 10 per
cent raise will be granted remains for
the board to decide. There are about
600 teachers now employed in the
public schools. The raise in salaries
will mean an additional expenditure of
from $40 10 $84 900 a year. The
average salary to be paid will be
about $40.

SOME SCHOOL NOTES.
By Prof. T. D. Miner.


These bracing October DAYS are
splendid school days. And all the
school affairs are beginning to assume
the customary forms of regular routine.
In the high school grades the work
in American Literature has now
reached point of real live interest.
The class has just finished the study
of Washington Irving.
In the eighth grade arithmetic the
class has been working out the various
applications of Interest. Prof. Smith
realizes that this commercial phase
of the Arithmetic work will be of far
more Importance than any other part
of the subject, in the after lives Of the
pupils. He is teaching this work in
the form which his long experience
has shown him to be the most practical
plan.
One need only glance into loom
four, at the many black board outlines,
to be convinced of the industry in that
room. A number of the text books in
use at present treat their subjects so
extensively that it is almost impossible
for pupils in the sixth or seventh
grades 10 accomplish much unless
each lesson is outlined for them. This
is what Miss Blanche Orswell, the
teacher, is doing. These outlines have
two consequences. In the first place
they mean a tremendous amount of
work for the teacher. In the second
place they have resulted in numerous
favorable comments by the patrons of
the school relative to the progress of
those pupils.

BIG FARM IN TRACTS
Pilot Rock Feeding Grounds First to
Be Cut Up for Intensive and
Diversified Farming.

That the Swift Packing company
bas no intention of making Pilot Rock
feeding grounds was stated by VIM.
II. Daughtrey of Portland who repre-
sents the interests of that big concern
in Umatilla county says the East Ore
gonian. Mr.. Daughtrey thought not,
but would not say whether any other
concern was desiring tnat location for
such purpose.
From the time of their purchase of
the property some years ago until the
present season the Swift people have
used the Umatilla ranch in the Mead
ows district as winter feeding
grounds. This plan has teen aban-
doned at present. however, aud al
though about 200 head of cattle are
being wintered at that place they are
being handled by individuals who
have leased pasture from the company.
The Swift people who are interested
in the ranch, and Mr.. Daughtrey as
their manager have come TO the con-
clusion that the ranch as district
devoted to intensive cultivation un-
der diversified farming will be of
much greater value to themselves as
well as to the country, than in Its
present form and it is being now
broken up into tracts of from 10 to 40
acres-the first big farm holding in
Umatilla county to be so cut up.
According to Mr.. Daughtrey the
showing made upon the ranch during
the past unfavorable season has de-
monstrated that it will take rank
among the fIuit-producing sections of
the west end. Until the orchards can
be developed, however, many of the
settlers are going into dairying and
honey for returns.
