Bear Meat and TrichinOsis.

The following from the Stanstead
Journal is printed by request as bear
ing upon the much discussed cases
last fall.
"There seems to be serious doubt
here in the minds of many about there
being any infection in the meat of the
bear that formed a part of the menu
of the five persons who dined together
in Orleans, on Oct. 10Th, with such
lamentable results. The explanation
of the physicians was that this meat
must have been lightly cooked while
that eaten by over $50 others must
have been thoroughly cooked, thereby
destroying all contagious germs.
"Now, this would seem a very re-
markable thing, although by no
means impossible, but there is cir
cumstance. of which the physicians
had no knowledge, and perhaps had
they known would have led them to
look elsewhere for the source of the
disease.
-Four young children in this place,
whose ages range from four to ten
a considerable quantity of the meat,
soning. This occurred on Oct. 3Oth,
and up to the present time they have
realized no bad effects from their
crude morsel.
'The names of these children can
will vouch for the truth of the above
statements.

State House News

Teachers in the public schools of the
state of Oregon cannot resign their po-
sitions within thirty days of the open
ing Of school or during the period of
the school term without the consent of
the school board, according to a law
passed by the 1917 legislature.
This feature of the new law has been
overlooked by some teachers and sew
eral notices of designations have been
sent in to State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Churchill. A provision
of the law requires the state superin-
tendent to cancel the certificate of a
teacher who resigns without consent
of the school board within the thirty
day limit or the school term period.
This is mandatory on him and is not
discretionary.
The contract of the teacher with the
school board is a legal contract and
therefore can not be terminated with
called the attention of the teachers to
this part of the law and will require
them to be on hand to teach when
school opens.
Bids are beng advertised Tor by the
state highway commission for the sec
ond bond issue of $5OO,OOO of the six

The advertisements appear in The

Abstract of Portland, and the Pacific
Banker, of Portland. The bonds are

the commission to get the bonds SOLD

While there was a good deal of shift

marine common dropped more than three
points, the preferred lost s l-2 points
and Atlantic, GULF and West Indies

mon issues sold down more than a
point. The motor stocks were again sub
ject to bear raids, particularly General
Motors, which gave way nearly seven
points ON top of Yesterdays decline of
five points The rails were not especial
" affected by the decline in the indus
trials and later most of them made sub
stantial gains.
The outstanding feature of the ses-
sion was the rally displayed by the in
dustrial list toward midday. Save for
the motors and few weak spots among
the specialties, early losses were not
only wiped out but gains ON the day of
a fraction to a point were made.

about $500.
