ELECTRIC LINE TO COAST
Indications That Hill Road VIII Seek
Salt Water Soon.

Many signs indicate that work will
soon be started on the electric road
that has been surveyed through Nc
Minnviile. Sheridan, WillamIna. and
on to the coast, affirms the Willamina
Times. Last week a railroad bridge
contractor was i'm McMinnville, and
with the city council of that place
inspected the site for bridge or tres
tie on B street, across Cozine creek to
the college side. The structure is to
be built Jointly by McMinnvflle and the
electric road. as IL is TO be a foot and
wagon bridge too. The same con-
tractor was in willamina last Friday,
and has now gone to Tillamook. Ev-
erything tends to show that there is
something in the wind. and later news
concerning the intention Of the South
ern Pacific confirms this suspicion.
The Hin interests are back of the
new survey through this way to the
coast. The route almost parallels the
Southern Pacific along the country TO
Sheridan. The opposing companies
are TO fight each other with electricity
and the battle will soon be on in this
neck OF the woods In earnest.

ALL TEACHERS NOT EXEMPT
New Law CompeIs Some to Commence
Examinations Anew.

SALEM, April 1.-The first opinion
TO be given in respect to the new
teachers certification. law passed by
the last Legislature was furnished
superintendent Alderman by ATTORNEY
General Crawford today, and is con-
sidered of vital importance to MANY
teachers OF the state. In this opinion
the Attorney General holds that the
State Board of Examiners, under the
new law. cannot take cognizance of
County certificates under the old law.
ana what exemptions might have been
obtained by teachers under the old
statute will not allow them to avoid
an examination under the Hawley act
of this year.
In his opinion the Attorney General
says:
Replying to your communication
of the 2Sth ultimo, asking whether
under the provisions of chapter SIS.
session laws of 1911. an applicant who
has secured part of her exemptions,
or all of her exemptions, excepting
N"O eupJCStoJ anu HdNlHB SecuF3rQ a
of more than S5 in these two
subjects, will be permitted to take an
other examination at the June state
examination on the remaining sub
jects, and thus secure exemptions in
all subjects, so as to entitle her to
have certificate which is renewable
every three years, beg to say, in my
opinion, the law does not have such
IN effect. 1t might have, and In my
opinion would, if the old exemptions
lad not been expressly repealed, but
section 81 of said chapter So of the
avs of 1911, expressly repeals section
"A of the school laws of 1909, page 23, |
he same being section IL of chapter
.16, laws of 1907, and relates to ex-
mptions, and nearly all the other sec
ions of said chapter 116 are also ex-
'ressly repealed
Therefore, all exemptions hereto
ore granted, where the party has not
eceived first-grade certificate there
nder, have been wiped out, and am
pplicant will have to commence ex-
anew"

JOHN EBBE GETS CONTRACT
Will Soon Start Road Improvements
on Dunlap Hill.

When the County Court opened the
bids Saturday forenoon for the i'm
provement of the Salt Creek road over
Dunlap Hill, there were but two pro-
posals for the contract. w. d. Pugh
offered to do the work called for in
the plans and specifications at the rate
of S6% cents per cubic yard, and SO
cents per cubic yard for ditching.
John Ebbe was willing to do the
work for 80 cents per cubic yard as
required. AS his bid was the lowest
and as the County Court was satisfied
that it was reasonable, the contract
was therefore awarded to him. He
has executed an approved bond in the
sum of $4,000 for the faithful per-
formance of his part of the contract,
and will begin work as soon as the
weather will permit.
The work to be done Is for the pur-
pose of reducing the grade of Dunlap
Hill by numerous cuts and fills, and
the contract will involve the handling
of about 1865 cubic yards of dirt,
which will have to be hauled a dis
lance of from 400 to 500 feet. Accord
ing to- the contract the work is to be
by June Is.

MAR RCH HEAT BREAKS RECORD
Month just Ended Was Dryest in
Twenty-six Years.

With the exception of the record for
the month of March 1885, the month
closing last Tuesday was the dryest
ever experienced in the Willamette
Valley. According to the records of
the United States weather bureau, the
total precipitation was but 0.63 of an
inch, which is exactly the same
amount of rainfall had for March 26
years ago. The last day of the month
was not only clear, but it was one of
the warmest days ever recorded for
March, the maximum temperature be-
ing 75.1 degrees.
For more than five weeks dry wealth
er has obtained in nearly all districts
of the Northwest, there being very
little rainfall since the latter part of
February. While there is nothing to
indicate that the dry period will be
broken Immediately, says the Oregon
ian, Weather Forecaster Edward A.
Beals is of the opinion that the dry
spell" will not continue much longer
AS the mean rainfall for March is 5.O3
inches, it is apparent that Portland is
shy of rain to the extent of 4.40l
inches.
In contrast to the drouth of the
March just passed, the greatest
amount of rainfall ever recorded byl
the local bureau for the corresponding
month was had in March, 1873, SO
years ago, when there was total of
1875 inches.
Between March 9 and the last day
of the month, there We're no cloudy
days, being a stretch of % days of
clear weather. There were in the
month only six days that were partly
cloudy one cloudy day and two days
when there was a slight precipitation.
With the unusual warm and dry
weather, vegetation is growing rapidly,
many kinds of fruit trees are in bloom
and crops of all kinds are making
fast progress. 1t has been an unusu-
ally favorable spring for farmers to
prepare the soil and plant their crops.
The early spring work is about COM
oleted in most districts and good rains
ire now hoped for.

NUMBER OF AUTOS INCREASE
Business Men of City Make Use of
Modern Cars.

Since the good weather came, life in
| automobile circles has been very live
ly in Dallas, and all day long cars are
whizzing up and down the streets.
Their use is increasing among the
business men of the city, who use them
in their practical affairs during the
day, and turn them into pleasure vehi-
cles for the benefit of their families
when the hours of toll are over. Ac-
cording to a rough estimate, about 22
cars are owned in this city, making an
average of about one to each 90 inhab-
itants This number will be greatly
increased before the spring days are
gone, as several new machines have
been ordered and will be added to the
list within couple of weeks. Dallas
is also visited daily by a great many
from other towns, including Salem,
Independence, Monmouth and Falls
City.
