GOPHER AND MOLE
HUNTERS OVERRUN
OFFICE OF CLERK
Scalps Held Over From Last
Year All Appear at Once
for Bounty

The grand gopher scalp rush began
with vengeance upon the county
clerk IS office at clock this morning
and although the office opened an hour
earlier than usual there were large
numbers of gopher and mole hunters on
hand. AS the hour grew later the
crowd thickened and every train that
pulled into Salem this morning with To-
cal passengers carried its full quota of
gopher and mole skins. Soon the crowd
filled up every inche of space in the
clerk Is office and it was necessary to
form them into line and put q guard at
the door to keep them from breaking
into the line. Outside the door in the
corridor it was ahmed full and when
the circuit court in department No. l
wished to open for the January term it
was necessary to call the sheriff to
clear q gangway through the crowd in
order that Judge Kelly and the jury
men might reach the court room.
During the first hour that the office
was open 1857 skins were taken in and
half an hour later total Of 3,949 had
been checked in at IL O'Clock $3.50
scalps had been counted and warrants
drawn for the "varmintp killers.
Today was also registration day un-
der the new system of permanent regis;
tration but if any voters called I
morning they. did not have the nerve
to declare their intention to fight their
way through the crowd The regular
business Of the county clerks office
was transacted in a narrow space that
was kept open to the desk.
The reason for the unprecedented
rush today was that when the bounty
fund of last year was exhausted the
holders Of scalps were told to wait until
the 1916 fund was available and the
hunters still pursued the gophers and
moles. If there are any Of the rodents
left in Marion county now they are
keeping well under cover.
The largest sum paid out today to one
single gopher hunter was to Claud
Harris, who resides on South Thirteenth
street in this city. Harris brought in
the scalps of 1,439 gophers and II molcs
and received check for $l45.60. He
killed all of the animals ON the lands
of l.. H. McMahan, Lafe Townsend and
German Bros Several others brought
in catches of from 750 to 1000 and at 2
O'Clock this afternoon 1897 scalps ha
been cashed. 1t is expected that near
ly 25,000 scalps will be checked in be
fore the office is closed tonight.

WHEAT MARKET QUIET

Portland, Ore, Jan. 3.-Quiet gain Of
strength was shown in the position Of
the local wheat market during the past
week. While the volume of trade was
somewhat smaller than during the pro-
ceding six days, the situation at tho
close Of the week is again quite salts
factory.
There was a disposition early in tho
week to lower values in the country
on account Of sharp declines in tho
Chicago price, which are being used at
this time as base for interior Pa-
cific northwest prices.
Later in the week the market camo
back to the original height at Chicago
but again lost ground.
In the Portland market valuea
showed practically no change for tho
week in the bids, but some business
was done
Oats and barley markets were cx-
tremely quiet at interior as well as at
tidewater points for the week with
values almost stationary.

liable features of the course is the OBJ
servation and teaching practice work,
which is required during the last year
of the high school course. Each of the
prospective teachers is required to
spend one year in observation and
teaching practice, Is weeks of which 40
minutes each day must be actual teach
ing practice under the direction of the
regular teachers. Every student who
completes the course successfully will
be given one.year state certificate,
which may be renewed once if the hold
er has taught successfully. This course
is being given in So of the standard
high schools of the state.
Boys Are a Guess
"It is impossible to tell what lines
of work our school boys will pursue
when they grow up; but it is pretty
safe to predict that most Of the pi
will become housekeepers ,, said Super
intendent of Public Instruction j. A..
Churchill, in speaking of the vocational
courses being offered in the high
schools Mr.. Churchill continued by
saying that 1894 girls are now learn
ing cooking and sewing in the public
schools of the state. OF this number,
3S4O are in the high schools and 1854
are in the grades. If one may judge by
the number of students enrolled in the
two courses, cooking is not quite so
popular as sewing, there being 321f
girls taking Domestic Science, and 1880
taking Domestic Art. The total value
of the equipment for teaching the for.
mer course, consisting of stoves, cook.
ing utensils, dishes, ETC., amounts to
$249l6.O0, while the equipment for the
latter, including sewing machines,
tables, etc, amounts to $14, $4,000.
nearly all of the teachers employed in
these courses are graduates of the Ore.
gon Agricultural College. Mr.. Church.
i'll states that Domestic Science is be,
ing offered in go standard high schools
and Domestic Art in 70.

With the recent heavy toll of sub.
marines in the Mediterranean it was
reported that several firms will suspend
sailings through the Suez canal. The
first of these to quit is the japanese
Mail line, which announced several
days ago that it would make its sailing
by the cape route.
Moreover, it was predicted today that
insurance on Mediterranean shipping
will soon become prohibitive, in view
of the enormous risks taken.
The Glengyle torpedoing occurred in
the Mediterranean while the vessel
was bound from the Far East to Italy.
She was an ordinary freighter but car
ried some passengers. Al of these,
however, were reported to have landed,
The missing were among the crew, it
was reported.
The Glengyle was sunk Sunday morn
ing between Port Said and Malta, pos
si6ly by one of the fleet Of submarines
which sank the Persia and other YES
sells en- route to the Suez canal.
A Malta dispatch declared that all
on board the Glengyle landed "evcept

ing as the result of an explosion aboard
the 5000 ton Norwegian tank liner

Over 1900 men we're employed about

REAL SITUATION THAT
CRIES OUT IN MEXICO
From the Washington Times.

Few Americans realize the actual
situation of the residents in many
Mexican cities. They regard the Mexi-
cans, and the foreign residents there,
as annoyed by d~omineering officialdom,
and subject to the Inconvenience of inn
minent revolutions.
A Mexican residing in Washington,
very close to Mexican affairs, re-
marked the other day: The situation
OF thousands OF MeXicans, especially IN
the cities, is little less pitiable than
that of the war sufferers in Europe we
are collecting money to help
All authoritative statements indicate
h a this picture is not exaggerated
Mexican money has long since become
a grim joke, and the inevitable disaster
of Il deprecated currency is being felt
in Mexico. Property is being conis-
Gated right and left from persons all
legged to be "unfriendly'' to the gov
eminent, and h proceeds pocketed by
those in power.
Women and children cry in the
streets for bread, and the men, most
likely, are lined up with this band or
that of insurrectionists. To the great
majority of MeXicans the entry of
American soldiers and a clearing up Of
affairs will be a boon

NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "1Iows His
Own Horn" Is as a General Prin-
ciple to Be Avoided.

Beware Of the person who is contin-
ually telling you of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something. or he wants to reach some
n else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by a heart which ia
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend. per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because Of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his insincer-
ity make him a nan to be avoided
neve trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.
