PuRsLEY RANCH SOLD.

Roy S. Shahan, the genial AL
amosa real estate man, was in La
lara Tuesday, and closed a deal
whereby the Pursley ranch, three
miles west of town was transfer
red to parties from Illinois. The
ranch consists of 4SO acres and
is one of the finest in the valley.
The acreage under cultivation is
comparatively small as Mr.. Purs-
ley has devoted most of his at
tention to stock raising, using the
greater portion as hay land and
stock and hog pasture.
The yard at the Pursley home
is shaded by huge trees planted
by Mr.. Pursley more than 20 years
ago. The house, barn, stocksheds,
etc, with huge artesian well
which flows near the front gate
form the picture of an ideal home
place and strangers can hardly
drive by without making an ex-
cuse to stop few minutes and
rest under the shade of the big
trees.
While in La Jara, Mr.. Shahan
let contract to w. c. Spencer
to grub the brush from the new
land and plow the whole ranch
which will be cut up and made
a home for three of four Illinois
families. The citizens of La Jara
hope they will not lose "uncle
Joe" Pursley but trust that he
will move to town, and even his
Republican friends will be glad
to have him continue to vote in
the precinct.

U. OF 0. GRADS
ARE IN DEMAND
AS TEACHERS

University of oregon, Eugene,
Oct. 20. (SpeeiaD number OF
applications for high school teachers
this fall has been so greht that the
university has been unable to satisfy
the demand.
Fifty or so good offers were re-
fused because there was no one to
accept them. Thirty of the last
graduating class have been placed In
high schools and many applications
for teachers have been sent to instl.
tutions outside the state. Professors
Alderman and Sheldon of the Educa-
tional department are In charge Of
the university teachers bureau ami
are doing all they can to supply the
demand, but with only partial sue
cess. II is the opinion OF the faculty
that the unusually large demand for
university graduates this year Is due
TO big increase in the enrolment
OF high school throughout the state
A great many of the applications
have been for men TO accept prlncl-
pnlships. Teachers OF mathematics
and science are more frequently de-
sired than instructors OF other pro-
paratory branches.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 26.-The girl
students in Queen Ann high school
threw away all false hair adornments
today, or at least they put them away
down in the corner of the dresser, to
be used on Sundays only.
This morning It is decreed that no
girl shall appear on the campus with
any fake frills or unnecessary head
gear, Nothing except her own locks
are to be allowed. Whoever ignores
this compact subjects herself to the
loss of u rat, although the girls de-
clare they win employ only peace

The boys OF the school appreciate
the coed decree, and yesterday
sounded MANY lusty cheers and ''rah,

added surprises in the manner Of
fixing the hair.

of men who have been spoken of foI
the position of mayor. All of the
gentlemen so far mentioned state
that they cannot give the time from
their business, which would be re-
quired to handle this important offc
AS a suggestion for a person to fill
this Office / am going TO mention one
of Salem's oldest residents, Mr.. Gid
con Stolz. Mr.. Gtolz has served as a
councilman for the past four years,
and has probably spent more time in
the city's interest than any other
member of the council. He knows
the different big projects that are now
before the city, and is thoroughly
conveTsant with them. He under
stands the water question, which will
be up for the next mayor to handle
He understands the sewer system
which will be put In next year, and
is well posted on the paving question.
1t would be no more than right for
the city TO honor man who has put
in as much time as Mr.. Stolz has in
its behalf with the office of mayor,
and / believe that II Mr. stolz could
be prevailed upon to run he would
make very efficient head for the
city government. He would probably
give, II necessary, his undivided time
to the office. Wouldn't 1t be a good
thing for some of the business men to
interview Mr.. Stolz

asked to accept the nomination for ne

seem reluctant to sacrifice lheif per-

Mayor Rodgers absolutely declines
To accept the denomination and re-
election for a third term; Charles L.

will refuse TO serve If elected without

cred in the light of candidates, and
the same is true of several other prom
inent business men and citizens, who
have been petitioned or beseeched to
permit their names TO be used as can
didates in any sense of the word.
There are still two possibilities as
candidate for the office of honor

thought that he should like to have
some ancestors. So he walked to War
dour street, where n can generally
pick up an ancestor or two Of the
Cromwellian. Queen Anne OF early
Georgian period. Selecting a portrait
Of a cavalier in half armor, with fea-
lures not quite unlike his own, Mr..
Hayward made a bid for 1t, but, deem
ing the price asked too high, he went
his way.
A fortnight after. the ancestral fe-
yer coming strongly upon him, he went
again to Wardour street, prepared to
pay the dealer his price. The picture
was sold. A few days later Mr.. Hay
ward went to dine with Lord Hough-
tor and was astonished to see the pic
ture In the dining room. Seeing that
1t attracted his guests attention. Lord
Houghton said:
Every good picture, that; came into
my hands in a curious way; portrait
Of q Mines of the commonwealth pc
rfod-an ancestor of mine"

was very near being an ancestor Of
mine"
