There has been a slight improve

Within the past year, the Salem pub
lie schools have undergone several
changes, following the recommendation;
of Superintendent o. NJ. Elliott. Per
haps the most important, was that OF
the organization of the three junior
high schools, Washington, Grant and
Lincoln. To a certain extent, the org.
anization of the junior high schools
was necessary on account of the cen
gested condition in the high schools.
year ago it become evident that ii
would be necessary TO adopt this sys.
tenn or build another high school
Even with the taking out of one class
in the high school and placing the pu-
pills in the junior highs, the high school
is crowded to its capacity. This is
due to great extent to the fact that
parents are insisting on their boys keep
ing in school until graduated, and also
to the enactment of the new school
law, which permits pupils to attend any
high school in the state, if there is none
in the district in which they live, al
the expense of the county from which
they come. This has udded to the en-
rollment of the Salem high school, as
present more than 100 are attending
who are not residents of Salem.
Graduated in January.
Another change in the school system,
is that Of holding graduating exercises
in January. The graduating exercises
this year will be held January 2S, with
the following to be graduated: Laura
Arenz, Vesta Smith, Lillian Mcbride,
Jessie Buell., Earl Mason, Loulin Brew
err Louis Paul, Richard Avison and
Claud Steusloff.
The year 1915 also marks the building
of the Mckinley school in. South Sa.
lem, at the cost Of approximately $685.
500. This building, designed by Archi.
tect George M. Post, represents all that
is modern in school construction. I'D
With the establishing of the Wash.
ington, Lincoln and Grant schools as
junior highs, each of these now have
fully organized student bodies, and ath.
letic teams. The object of those in
charge of the athletic work of these
three schools is to give the average stu.
dent an opportunity for work in one of
the physical culture classes and teams
in football and basketball.
Interclass Activities.
For the year 1916, the senior high
school interclass activities will be org
nnized by which both the boys and girls
will participate, The silver loving cup,
given to the high school by the civics
club, will be presented to the class win
ming the greatest number of points in
the various contests. The completion
of the new stage in the high school
will undoubtedly lead to the extendiI
of the play for all the junior high
nation and debate.
In the three junior high schools, play
will be organized during the second
semester. David X. Brace, who has

schools.
Growth is Rapid.
1t viii be necessary atpthe beginning
of the second semester to transfer the
fifth and sixth graues in the Grant,
! Washington and Lincoln junior high
schools to the outlying buildings in or
| der to provide sufficient room for the
class which will be ready to enter the
unior high schools So rapid has been
the growth in the upper grades of the
Salem schools that the present junior
high school buildings will not long ac-
| commodate the increasing numbers.
Plans are now being made for the
organization of athletics and physical
education and in addition to the ath-
letic activities, there will undoubtedly
be complete course in physical educa-
tion for both boys and girls. This will
be done as soon as it is possible to pro
vide room and apparatus for the work.

From a business view point this
would have been a gloomy New Year 4
with the timber manufacturers and log
gers Of Oregon and the entire Pacific
northwest but for the fact that during
the past month or two business has
shown u decided improvement.
Oregon alone manufactures annually
about 2,000000,000 feet of lumber, the
greater portion of which is its famous
fir, but during the year now about to
close, the output has been far below
normal. How far, cannot be told def.
nitely till the records for the IL
months are furnished by the individ.
ual mills in the various districts. A
great many plants, however, have been
idle the grfeater par; of the year and
the smaller communities surrounding
them have suffered correspondingly
The same condition has existed in re.
gard to the logging industry.
Rift in Clouds Seen.
Portland saw mills have an average
annual output of approximately 600,.
100000 feet Of lumber, but the total
for the year 1915 will fall short for
the same reason which explains the to-
tai reduction in the output of the state.
Several mills have remained closed
for months because Of lack of salts
factory business, others have operated
on short time. The logging camps
felled and floated no more logs than
the market could absorb and hence
men who earn their livelihood in
among the tall timber have not been
as prosperous during the year as they
would have been had conditions been
normal,
But after many months of patiently
waiting and watching, loggers and
lumber manufacturers at least see q
good open rift in the clouds, for or
ders have been coming in and continue
to come at pace that has caused
prices to advance till they are now
nearly on paying basis.
Price of Logs Higher.
During the past 80 days fir logs
have advanced 81 here and in the log
ging districts of the sister state and
the available supply still in the hands
of the loggers is almost negligible. In
fact, it was stated yesterday that few
Of the loggers in the Columbia river
district have any logs to sell at pres
ent.
AS q consequence operations in the
woods will begin little earlier than
usual, probably by the first of Febru.
ary by the time the snow begins to
move out Of the foothills. A month
ago IL seemed as If March or April
would be early enough for the loggers
to get back into the harness.
The fir market has been assisted
materially by the heavv purchases ~
southern nine by tho allies for uso IN
trench building and winter quarters
for the men on the fighting front. for
IL took out Of the competitive markets
immense quantities Of southern nine.
Eastern Market Broader.
II is now possible for Oregon fir to
penetrate much farther east Of the
Missouri river than when the southern
