Rain and Snow in California.

The editor is in receipt of an in
teresting letter from F. e. Bell, of
Black Horse, who is spending the
winter in Oakland, California, in
company with Mrs. Bell. At the
present time, Mr.. Bell writes, that
part of the golden poppy state is ex-
periencing severe cold weather, lots
of rain and little snow. Mr.. Bell
has made an examination of the soil
there and says it is not as good as
many people think it is, the uplands
being OF hard pan and clay soil. The
valleys contain very good soil. In
Oakland rent is very high and they
ask $40 and $50 per month for a
small house. In writing Of market
prices, Mr.. Bell says that beef, pork
and mutton sell from Is cents to 22
cents, chickens for 25 cents per lii.
alive. Apples sell for 20 cents per doz.
and the Oregon apple is the best to
be found on the market. In COM
parison, the California apples look
like culls, according to Mr.. Bell. In
conclusion he states that Oregon is
good enough for him, and asks that
the Gazette-Times be sent to his Oak
land address.

HlGHSCHOOL PARAGRAPHS
Loren Mikesell.

The regular exams began last Tues
day morning and they will last till
Friday noon. A large number have
had to take the examinations this
time because strict attention has been
given to see that all qualifications for
exemption have been filed. Those
failing to meet the requirements for
attndance, experiment and scholar
ship avragn have to attend school the

onstration of hog and dairy COW judg-
ing. He also gave a lecture about the
industrial club work after school
Monday.
Supt. Hoffman leaves Friday for

schools.
The game between Moro and Hepp-
ner resulted in an easy victory for
Heppner, the score being 16 to %.

Boy Goes to Training School.

Claud Sigsbee, the 15-year-old son
of B. G.. Sigsbee, will be taken to the
state training school at Salem, since
he has been judged a delinquent in
the juvenile court. The boy recently
became involved in serious trouble
with the postoffice department for
taking packages from the mailing
box in the local postoffice. The thefts
were committed about Christmas
time and when confronted by the Of
ficers with the evidence they had Sc
cured, young Sigsbee confessed and
acknowledged he had committed 9TH
er thefts about town as well. The
parents of the boy have done every
thing in their power to correct him,
but 1t appears that he is incorrigible.
1t is believed that the rigid training
of the state school will prove bene-
fit to him.

Publicity Strongest Factor Affecting
Reform.

Corvallis, Ore, Jan. 17.-When
Mr.. Mickle, Oregon State Dairy and
Food Commissioner, entered upon the
work Of his Office three years ago, in
spection of slaughter houses was one
of the first lines of work attempted,
said M. S. Schrock, deputy Dairy and
Food COMMISSIONS in addressing far
mers and dairymen at the Agricultur-
al College. "We found most Of them, .
continued Mr.. Schrock, ''in an indes-
cribably filthy condition. 1t was nee
essary to close number of them even
though there was no authority for
closing any establishment except a
dairy. Score cards, such as those
used for inspection of dairies, were
devised, providing means for thus
making systematic records. 1t also
gives us basis for keeping our rec
ords and giving due publicity to pre-
vailing conditions, which, | believe
is the most powerful factor for good
we have found.
Gas a result of the three years S
work, slaughter houses no longer
reek with that German gas and the
NANCY, diseased rats that used to
crawl over the pieces of meat left
hanging over night.
Our work is educational, for we
have found that if we teach a person
to be clean he will be clean when our
back is turned, while If We force him
into cleanliness he will be as clean as
the law compels and no cleaner"

LIVE NEWS FROM The lone COUNTRY
The lone wheat market looked u

The lone wheat market looked III
quite a bit this week, and there has
been some sales at the 81. marx
Among those to sell at this price was
Aaron Peterson, of Eight Mile, he
having received one dollar per bushel
for his entire crop of blue stem and
forty-fold This is the best price re-
ceived on this market for the season
to date, and those who have been able
to hold have been gamers thereby.
Severe cold weather has been ex-
perienced for the most of the week
but it is much warmer now, with in
| dications of a big storm coming
Farmers report the snow drifting in
to big heaps along the roads and over
the fields from the strong south wind.
From what we have been aHe to
learn the summerfallow ground was
not frozen very deep before the zero
weather began, but the snow being
very light it is believed that the frost
has gone down to greater depth,
No fear is entertained, however, for
the crops that are in, and much of
the summerfallow remains yet to be
sown, this being especially true in
the section south of lone.
Stoops & Son, of this locality, have
been putting down couple of wells
for B. F.. Swaggart on his Penland
Butte farm. They secured fine
flow of water in one we'll at 65 feet
but the other is now down 100 feet,
and no water yet. Well drilling is
slow proposition these winter days.
The young ladies of lone furnished
real treat to the lovers of the dance
on Thursday evening last. 1t was
their leap year ball and was largely
attended. Prof. w. X. Davis orches-
ira furnished the music, and the ball
was managed throughout by the la
dies. It is pronounced the grandest
affair of the season, and was greatly
enjoyed.

POLITICAL RING IS
FULL OF HATS
State Offices Much Sought After But
Locally the Situation
Remains Quiet.

The past week has witnessed con-
siderable activity over the state po-
litically. and the arena has been fill
ing rapidly with the hats of would
be Office holders and of those who
are now in Office and would remain
there.
Nationally, w. E. Borah of Idaho
and Albert E. Cummins are looming
strong as possible candidates for the
office of chief executive and Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts has also en-
tered the ring by launching an ac-
tive campaign. 1t is understood that
Woodrow Wilson will probably be the
unanimous choice of the democratic
party. Senator Burkett, of Nebraska
has announced that he will be the
candidate from the west on the re-
publican ticket for vice president.
Senator Burkett became we'll known
to the people of the Pacific slope
while on his tour with the Chatau-
qua.
The progressive party is no longer
recognized as political party en-
titled to participate in primary
election, as it failed to receive the re-
quired percentage of votes cast in the
congressional district at the last reg
ular election.
Candidates who have announced
themselves as delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention are
Chas. H. Carey, David Dunno and c.
w Fulton of Portland; c. P. bishop,
Salem and j. n Burgess, Pendletrn,
Henry Downing, Salem, R. D. Innian.
Portland, w. H. Cannon, Medford,
and Linn Nesmith, Salem
1t is understood that Ben w. Oh
colt, present incumbent, will seek re-
election and to date no other can
didates have announced themselves.
In Congress, w. c. Hawley will
probably have oposition in w. I.
vaw:er of Medford, who has prev
iously spent much time in the leg
islative halls at Salem N. j. Sin
mott of the second district, appears
to have the field to himself, but in
the third district c. N. Macarthur will
again have to scrap it out with A. w.
Lafierty, former congressman when
Heppper was in the same congress
ional district with Portland.
However, the Office to which the
greatest number aspire is that of
public service commissioner from the
Eastern Oregon district and several
good Republicans have announced
their candidacy. They are Edward
Wright of La Grande, present coun-
ty clerk of Union county; Fl. H. Cor
ey of Baker, for several years secre-
tary of the commission, Robert Ser
vice of Baker and James Kyle of
Stanfield. The name of Jerry Rusk
of La Grande is also prominently
mentioned in this connection. Other
possible candidates mentioned in

sfsae lone Gun Club visited Cecil
on Sunday last, and there was tre-
mendous slaughter of wild beasts.
| The trainmen state that since that
| date there has been a great scarcity
in the rabbit family in that locality,
| Of course the residents down that
way have been busy with poison, but
the loss in numbers can no doubt be
attributed to the prowoss of the lone
nimrods, who were armed to the
teeth and battled manfully during
the time between trains. Occasional
visits have been made to the fields
during the week by members of the
Gun Club, and there will be less rab-
bits in the north end of the county
another season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Bowker, of
Heppner, were noticed among those
at Cecil Sunday, doing their part to

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By Supt. S. E, Natson.

A new plan will be used in the
eighth grade examinations in May
and June in the subjects of U. S. His
tory and Civil Government. The pu-
pills will be allowed to use their text
books during the examination. The
questions will be so framed as to test
the ability of the pupil to express
himself clearly and fully upon a top
ic. He may need some point which
he has, for the moment, forgotten.
He can look it up. lie will not have
time to do much looking up, but he
will not be thrown into a nervous
state trying to remember some tri-
fling matter which has eluded him at
the time. The writer has advocated
such a plan for several years. He has
greatly amused teachers and some of
the county superintendent by sug-
costing such plan. Last summer he
took a great deal of satisfaction in
pointing out to some of the super
intendents that such a plan had been
tried at Reed College, and it had
proven very satisfactory. AS State
Superintendent Churchill says, "The
examination usually deteriorates into
memory test" Probably eighty to
ninety per cent. of the examination
questions have called for a test OF
memory only. The power to discrim-
mate, to reason, to decide has rarely
been called into action in the exam
ination. If instead of answering sew
eral short questions in few words,
pupil is required to write, in linz
tied time, history of slavery in the
United States, or discuss the position
of the different political parties on
the tariff question, or write fairly
complete discussion of the Monroe
Doctrine, his production will show
whether he has studied history to a
purpose, and he can do very little
with the subject unless he knows
something about it, even if he has a
dozen textbooks at hand.
This is not all. State Superinten-
dent Churchill points out another
feature which is of the greatest i'm
portance. He says, "The eighth grade
examinations, to very large extent,
set the standard for teaching, and /
am confident that this new plan will
strengthen the work in the eighth
grade and give the pupil much more
power and confidence than he gains
from the memory tests. If his class
standing has been high during the
year and his English work what il
should be, he will pass good ex
animation. If his class work has been
below par, the open book will be of
no help to him during the short hour
of the examination"
Now, no doubt, many will be great
ly disturbed over this plan. 1t will
appear to some as absurd. There is
only one way to determine its merits.
and that is to give it fair trial. Ii
it proves satisfactory, it can be ex-
tended to most of the other subjects.
If it proves unsatisfactory, it can be
abandoned The plan we have been
using has been far from satisfactory
hence we should be willing to make
an effort to find something better.

Hog Market Jumps.

The Portland hog market took an
other jump this week and made SEN
sational gain of 35 cents over last
weeks price, according to the mar
ket report and set high record
mark of $7.25. On the other hand
the cattle market did not do as we'll.
A couple of loads of pulp-fed stun
brought S7.75 and one load of cows
brought $3.50. The sheep market is
quoted as steady with lambs selling
at $500 and ewes at $6.55.

two years has been associated with
the First State Savings Bank at
klamath Falls, as vice president, has
returned to Portland to accept the
cashiership of the Citizens Bank OF
