The campground at the Oregon

the great number of campers that will
occupy spaces thereon during the

WORD LIST FATAL TO TEACHERS
Spelling Proves Too Hard For Those
Who Did Not Make Grade.

Spelling proved the nemesis for
most Of the eight who failed of the 80
applicants for county papers who re-

grading, says the East Oregonian. The
IA applicants for state papers will
not know their fates until the papers
can be passed upon by the state board.
This will be sometime in September.
Below is.the list which proved too
difficult to the majority of the eight
who failed to make an average suffici-

which would permit them to teach in
the county. The fifty words counted

GIRLS WIN IN COYOTE MELEE
Plucky Kennewick Girls Dispatch Wolf
With Cudgels.

Miss Marian Griffith and Miss Flor
inc Bonn two 14-year-old girls of
Kennewick, WASH, proved themselves
true daughters of the west Sunday
afternoon when they dubbed to death
big coyote and carried their trophy
home as testimony of their bravery.
The girls were strolling along the
river near the Bonn ranch when the
Griffith dog started from the sage
brush an unusually large coyote.
With flerceness rarely exhibited by
its species the wolf attacked the dog
and the two were soon rolling on the
prairie in deadly encounter. Seeing
the plight of the faithful old family
dog and calling her companion to her
assistance, Miss Griffith armed herself
with stout club and rushed into the
melee. Following the example of the
other girl Miss Bonn secured oudgel
and performed valiant service. The
two brave lasses welded their weap-
ons with telling effect and soon dis
patched the coyote.
With the carcass of their prey
swinging between them. their nut
brown cheeks flushed with the excite
ment of battle and the old dog limp
ing along behind the plucky hunters
arrived at the Bonn home, where they
told the story of their novel ex-
perience.

The stockholders of the company
have arranged for the building of a

Consequently they will bring down

NEAR BEER IN COURT
Whether or Not 1t is An Intoxicating

Washington Court.

A question of much interest tc
Umatilla county aud most Of
Oregon Is about to be threshed out in
the courts of Washington. It is whe-
ther or not near beer" is intoxicat-
ing and as to whether or not its sale
shall be prohibited in "dry" counties.
Fred G. Pugh, prosecuting attorney
for Spokane county, has declared that
the so-oalied temperance" beverage
is Intoxicating and that hereafter all
persons found selling it in "dry" ter
ritory included in his jurisdiction will
be prosecuted. The result of this an
nouncement will be followed with
great interest by prosecuting attorneys

ing taking similar action.
In speaking of the matter the Spok-
ane prosecutor said:
~ have had several inquiries lately
as to whether Inland Brau and ''near
beer" can lawfully be sold in "dry"
townships or whether they come with
in the denomination of Intoxicating
liquors. This depends upon whether
they ara Intoxicating when used as
beverages.
Chemical analysis shows that Inland
Brau contains over per cent alcohol
and near beer about the same, or in
other words. they carry more alcohol
than some kinds of ordinary beer. The
phraseology of the licensing statute

intoxicating liquor.
"The definition of the phrase 'intox-
ioating liquor found in the local op-
tion law passed at the last session of
the legislature is much more compre-
hensive and includes Intoxicating
properties, il it is capable of being
used as beverage.
'The collector of internal revenue,
| am informed, requires license for
the sale of these liquors, and in my
opinion the state authorities should
exact the same requirements.
1t is asserted that much drunken
ness is seen about places where these
liquors are sold. They have the ap-
pearance of beer, carry almost if not
quite as much alcohol aud il permiG
ted to be sold as soft drink, would
render 1T practically impossible for
the officers to determine whether the
liquor sold in any given case was or
dinary beer or one of these convenient
substitutes.
Hereafter, therefore, all persons
selling near beer and Inland Brau
without county or city license, will
Ee prosecuted.

Westerman and Fireman Hake,
with engine No. 1902, brought
the Pennsylvania eighteen-hpur
train from Crestline here Satur-
day morning in the remarkably
FAST time of two hours and
twenty-three minutes. The train
was eighteen minutes late when
hey took it ait Crestline, and they
were attempting to make UP the
lost time, but failed, arriving in
this city exactly the same num-
Der of minutes behind time.
They experienced twenty-three
minutes delay along the line for
various reasons and this fact
alone prevented them from
reaching here on schedule time,
but at that they established a
record that will likely stand for
awhile.

MANY Ask for Clemency.

Governor Marshall and his
secretary Mark Thistlewaite are
wondering what strange train od
circumstances has prompted
mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters
sweethearts and friends OF pris-
0ners in the state penal institu-
tons to select Thursday and Fri
day of this week to :wOop down
upon the office to- ask foe execu-
tive clemency. A steady stream
II applicants set in Thursday
nd continued almost unlnter-
ruptedly through Friday. Tween
ty-hve persons asked for paroles
II pardons, Friday.
The governor believes that the
-ecital of crimes by the newspa-
Ders accOu, nts of suicides, etc,
have had the effect of turning
ne attention of families and
friends toward TIE inmates OF
renal institutions and believes
hat the recitals of last Thursday
and Friday may have had some
thing to do with the unusual re-
quests for clemency.
