And Saved Life Of Francisco
SantiSban Of Railroad St.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Victim Was at First Thought to Be
Beyond Medical Assistance-He
Poured Kerosene Into the
Fire.

Francisco Santisban met with seri-
ous burning accident late yesterday af
ternoon at his home, Is Railroad street,
and his life was saved only by the
prompt work Of a passerby who forced
him into a snow bank and thus extin-
guished the flames in his clothing.
Santisban went home from his work
and attempted to start fire in the
kitchen stove. In order to make the
fire burn faster, he took the top off a
kerosene can and commenced pouring
the contents on the slaze The flames
leaped into the can and caused an explo-
sion which threw Santisban to the floor
and set fire to his clothing.
AS soon as he realized that he was on
fire he rushed to the door and called for
help. A man who was passing on the
street came to his aid, grabbing him and
pushing him into a snow bank By roll
ing the victim over and over in the snow
the rescuer was enabled to extinguish
the fire.
In the meantime, Mrs Santisban had
discovered the accident and realizing
how serious his injuries would probably
be, telephoned for physician DR.. A.
G. Placement and DIR. F. G. Ligouri an
swered the call and Immediately went
TO Santisban's house, where they found
that the victim was in bad shape. The
face, body and legs were badly bis
tered, and for time it was thought
that Santisban was beyond chance of
recovery. However, after an examina
tion. it was discovered that the burns
were OF such nature that they could be
healed enough 50 that Sansisban might
be out in three or four weeks.
He is "a years of age and is a granite
cutter, and has one child.
Santisban is employed as granite
cutter at the Bianohi plant.
At his house they did not know who
the man was who rescued Santisban
from burning to death.

Never Rode on a Train.

George Cohoe, a rancher of Deep
Creek will leave late today for his for
mer home in Grant county, Oregon.
Mr.. Cohoe is 81 years old, but has
never been aboard railroad train,
even to inspect the cars, says the
Spokane Chronicle. When he came
to this country three years ago he
made the journey of 600 miles in n
prairie schooner. He planned to
make the return trip in the same man
ner. but was finally persuaded by his
wife and children to 60 by rail. Mr.
Cohoe stated that his father has tray
eled extensively, both in this country
and abroad. but could never induce his
son to toard train, the latter claim
ing that tho mere thought of riding in
he "steam cars" made him sick.

TEACHERS SCARCE
In Spite of Increased Salaries Peda-
gOgues Are Going Into
Other Work.

The schools in Umatilla county are
facing famine in competent tea chers
for the next school year. Each dis
trict has been forced to raise its teach.
ers salaries. without exception, from
five to ten dollars per month. Yester-
day contract was signed and regis
tered, providing for the services OF Z.
N. Nash in the Pilot Rock schools for
the ensuing year. The new contract
calls for $S5 per month.
"The mem bers of the school board
are making the increase in the salaries
of the teachers simply because they
are forced to do so to keep the teach
ers," said Supt Frank WelleS in COM
menting on the increases that are
constantly being registered in the sal
aries of the pedagogues. "The schools
of Umatilla county are going to lose
many good teachers this year in spite
of the advances. The assistant priu-
cipal at Athena, and the principal at
Weston both sever their connections
with schools this year. Both men
| have better offers in other fields of
activity.
"But the designations are by no
means limited to the male teachers
We are losing some of the most able
I teachers this year who are to become
wives. That is the greatest problem,
matrimony. Young women will mar
ry in spite of the salary temptations;
men will generally stay another year
at least.
"The difficult part of the situation,
however, is not so much that we are
losing many of the teachers as that
we have no way of filling tha depleted
ranks with qualified instructors. Good
school teachers are at premium.
Hundreds of school teachers could be
used to advantage in the schools OF
eastern Oregon next year without the
slightest plethora in the stats. For
merly there have been many teachers
from the east who came west to secure
the better salaries that we offered, but
the eastern states have been forced to
meet our offers, and the supply is out
off. The daughters of the western
people seem to hesitate to enter school
work. For one thing, SO many OF
them have fathers that are independ-
ent that they feel that there is little
necessity for them to toll to make a
living. However, many of our very
best teachers are western bred and ed
uoated girls.
"Unless some unforeseen relief comes
I fear that many schools in the rura.
districts will be forced to close theil
doors owing to our inability to gel
competent teachers. Of course, there
will be no difficulty during the re
mainder of the present school year
although several have resigned to taxi
effect at once. But the future look
cloudy for the small country schools
