USING NORTH THIRD AVE-
NUE. ROAD.
OTHERS CAN NOT BE USED
UNTIL THEY ARE REPAIRED
North Center Street, East Main and
Marion Streets Will Be Closed or
Some Time and Until Bridges Are
Repaired-Water Continues to Re-
cede Slowly Here and at Marietta.

With the food water in the river still
going down. but very slowly, it now be-
comes evident that traffic is not going
to be able to reach this city over any
of the roads north and northeast out
of the city for some time. The single
exception is the North Third avenue
road in which, in spite of repeated re-
ports to the contrary, no bridges were
washed out. In fact team traffic was
beginning to use this road this fore
noon, altho the water still was running
over the road to depth of two or
three feet. This road is not yet passa-
BILE for automobiles.
When the water gets down so auto
mobiles can ge thru, it will be the only
road over which traffic can get in and
out of the city from the north until
the other roads and bridges in them
are repaired. If the water continues TO
fall North Third avenue may be passa-
BILE by automobile by Monday.
Roads to Be Blocked Long.
There are bridges out in North Cen
ter street, Marion street and East
Main street road. There are no means
of telling now how soon these washed
out crossings can be repaired or roads
built around them SO that vehicles can
get thru. In the case of the North
Center street road councimen were
unable to say today how long it would
be until that road could be made pas
sable 1t was thought that it would
be some time for in addition to the
bridge that is gone the dixie road has
been cut thru in TWO places. These
cuts can not be filled and road can
not be built around where the bridge is
out until the water is very much lower
than it is now.
There are two bridges out in East
Main street, and one gone in the Mar
ion street road. When repairs can be
made in these roads will depend on
how soon the water gets low enough to
allow the work to be done.
The water was falling slowly today,
but at the pumping station it was
thought that this forenoon the water
was not going down faster than one
quarter inch an hour. 1t was estimated
that the water had fallen about six
inches there since Thursday noon. The
water was reported as about stationary
most Of Thursday afternoon at Mari
eta, and that it had fallen there about
nine inches to a foot since Thursday
noon

RURAL SCHOOL SUPERVISION
AN Snnervisor Smith. J

Before the year 1911, there was much
criticism of rural school conditions in
Marion county. A mass of expensive,
unusable equipment had been acquired
through unreliable agents. This equip
ment consisted largely of expensive
charts, planetariums, out of date maps
and some worthless books. However,
those schools whose boards have been
careful, were provided with good equip
ment. There was lack of very neees-
sary supplies, such as good blackboards,
small, up-to-date dictionaries, erayon,
erasers and supplementary readers.
Perhaps the most serious criticism was
based on the fact that all inexperienced
teachers began teaching in the one room
schools. Here they were compelled to
meet many trials Of the school room
alone with no chance to get advice that
the experienced teacher in the city
schools could get from the city prinei-
pal After a teacher had acquired some
experience in the rural school and prov
ed her worth, she was elected to some
city school and placed under the eff

Abstract Company
Announces Change

The Salem Abstract Company, with
offices in the Salem Bank Of Com
merce building, announces that w. f.
Hanson of Grants Pass, has purchased
an interest in the company, which is
one of the oldest in the state, having
been established in 1880. Mr.. Hanson
will assume the office and duties of
secretary of the company, held for
the past seven years by George j. Wat
son. Mr.. Watson has been certified by
the national war council of the Y. M.
C. A. for service with United States
troops in France, and will leave to
take up his duties as soon as he has
been definitely assigned. In the mean
time he will remain with the company.
Mr. Hanson has been a resident of
Oregon for the past fifteen years. lie
served term as deputy county clerk
for Wasco county, and later served
two terms as county clerk for Hood
River county, being the first clerk
elected to office in that county after
its formation by the legislature. He
was formerly owner and manager of
the Grants Pass abstract company,
and is considered a very capable and
progressive title man. His family will
join him there at once.
A. A. Lee, president of the company,
who has been associated with it for
more than twenty five years, will con-
time in that office, and he and Mr.
Hanson will both be actively engaged
in the affairs of the business.

OregOn'S Forests Have Timber
to Rebuild a Wrecked World
Her Annual Output of $3OOOOOOO Will Be Doubled and
Demand Will Increase When War Ends

Oregon s timber is her most valuable
asset, and its manufacture her greatest
industry. Heretofore she has produced
lumber valued at around $30,000,000 a
year. She maintained this production
for the last two years in spite of car
shortage, and ship shortage, which shut
off markets which could and would
have taken all the lumber she could
have produced, if it could have been
delivered. Had it not been for this lack
of transportation facilities, Oregon
would, along with the eastern states,
have felt some of the increased busin-
ess due to the war. AS it was she, so
far as her financial interests were CON
cerned, was injured rather than helped
by the war. The past year and the one
before it each saw little improvement
in the returns from her grain crop, and
1917 showed considerable gains in the
returns from her lumber. The latter
was nothing like it should and would
have been with abundant transportation
facilities, but it was an Improvement
over 1916.
Coming Into Her Own.
Now Oregon is about to come into her
own. Her forests contain enc fifth,
some estimates say one thinrd, of all the
standing timber in the United States.
Not only this but they contain the tim

The schools rendered valuable service
to the government during the recent
Food conservation campaign. The bull

pupils and such campaign of educa-
tion was carried on that nearly every
district. in the county signed up 100 per
cent. The teachers of Marion county
are loyal to the government in this
time of great need and they are willing
to help in any way they can to win the
war so that the money that is being
spent for war may be spent to give ev-
cry boy and girl good education which
means opportunity
The last annual teachers meeting went
on record as favoring the county as the
unit for taxation and also for the ad-
ministration of our schools. This coupled
with more equitable method of appor-
tionment of school funds would mean
greater progress for our schools.

that she and her neighbor, Washington
can alone produce, the spruce for air
ships. This she has in unlimited guam
titles, and as it can be gotten nowhere
else, Oregon is to feel the effects of a
real war boom. So far as this lumber
is concerned, it being for the govern
ment, there will be no lack of transpor-
tation, and the only thing limiting the
output will be the labor to handle it. A
hundred million feet are wanted at once
and for this the government will pay
$105 thousand, or more than ten mil
ion dollars.
This is to be produced the coming
season, or before the end Of 1918. This
is but one item that will make the
grand total of the output of Oregon IS
forests for the year. The rush for
wooden ships has hardly begun for red
tape and obsolete methods have sadly
hampered industry in getting down to
business in the way of ship building.

be dropped and the wide awake Ameri-
can hustler told to ego to it" That he
will "go', is certainty and that the
results will surprise the moss covered
relics in some of the departments is an
other certainty.

Parents Show Interest

The deciding factor in the success OF
q school often is determined by the in
terest the community takes in it. Forty
districts have regularly organized Par
ent- Teacher associations, holding regular
meetings and discussing not only school
progress but other topics of special in
terest to the community. Other districts
are carrying on community work thru
the debating club, literary society, etc.

cient supervision of the city superin-
tendent.
Forces Families to Leave Farms
Frequent change of teachers, coupled
with these other defects, led many par
ents to leave the coNntry in order TO
get better school advantages in the city.
1t is claimed that four families out of
every five leaving the farm do so for
this reason alone. One result of such
conditions led to the false idea that the
main purpose of an education is to get
living without work. Those who com
plain of inefficient farm labor and the
|. W. w. movement trace it to this one
idea. Thinking people began to try to
change these Objectionable conditions.
The legislature was asked to provide the
legal means and in 1911 passed the sup
ervisory law. This law provides for fre-
out visits to the schools by a regularly
appointed official whose duty it is to
unity the school work and assist the
teachers to bring each school up to its
highest efficiency. To do this, coop
GRAFTON on the part of the teacher, pat
rons and directors must be secured. 1t
is also the intention as expressed by the
law, to bring each school closer to the
homes of its patrons and make it render
real service there. One of the promin-
ent ways of doing this is through the in
dustrial work.
Six Leading Results.
Six prominent results of rural super
vision i'll Marion county are:
1.-No teacher need blunder along
IL -. Il.
organization of cooperation with the
school board or patrons.
2=The school equipment is much bet
ter ana rar more usaule.
3.-The sanitary conditions compare
favorably with those in the home.
4-Many of the teachers are using
methods that are equal to the best founu
in the cities.
5.-More teachers with good training
are staying in the rural schools.
6.-Ihe rural community interests are
awake as shown by the increase in the
number of ParentTeacher associations.
The duties of the rural school will
become more important and the demands
placed upon it greater in the next few
years. -Four of these duties stand out
prominently dU PieSeLW' Every SCHOOL
should help solve the business and com
munity lire problems of its patrons.
Every pupil should have sufficient in
dustrial experience to make him at least
self sustaining. 1t is the business of
the school to make efficient citizens.
There is a health education as well as a
mental education. Good health depends
largely on sound teeth, eyes, ears and
throat Proper nourishment must have
attention also. The introduction of hot
lunch is only the beginning.

industry, morals and efficient citizen

HELPING THE TEACHERS.
(By Supervisor Hoppes.)

The big idea in the policy of County
Superintendent Smith is to render the
greatest possible amount of practical
| help to every teacher in the county. To
make definite progress in teaching pro-
ficiency each month of the school year
is the program set for the teaching force
of the county.
The first opportunity offered the tea
ehers in this program was Rural Tea
chers' Plan Day, September goth. This
day, before many schools had opened,
was devoted to making plans for the
work of rural schools. A uniform daily
program of classes had been worked out
and was explained to the teachers. Spe-
cific directions covering problems in dis
cipline, how to assign lessons, how to
conduct recitations and how to conserve
time in an eight grade, one room school,
were given out and discussed. Superin-
tendent Churchill attended this meeting
and spoke on Adapting the Course OF
Study to Rural Schols.'' Professor
Pittman, head of the department of rur-
al schools of the Oregon Normal school.
gave an address on 'The Professional
Progressiveness of the Rural Teacher" "
The success of the plan day suggested
the plan of holding small, local teach
ers' meetings every four OF five weeks
at convenient places throughout the
county. Donald, Woodburn, Silverton,
Stayton and Salem are the centers se-
leeted for these MEETINGS. During the
rest of the year there will be eighteen
or more opportunities for the rural tea
chers to meet, discuss in a frank and
professional manner their problems, and
exchange their ideas which have proved
successful. This plan enables the super
intendent and supervisors to do their
work in the most efficient and syste-
matte manner. Each meeting is devoted
to one phase Of the rural teachers
problem; the teaching Of reading, lang
uage, arithmetic, etc, are presented
with certain definite suggestions for the

1t has Dow steam duplex pump which
has acapacity of 1,250,000 gallons in twen-
ty-fOur hours. It has three kinds of power
installed for driving its pumps, viz: $50 h. p.
water power, $50 h. p. steam power, and
$50 h. p. electric power.
It takes the water supply from a crib or
well built in sand and gravel bar situated
in the Willamette river above the city. This
bar serves as filter through which all of
the water has to pass before entSfing the
distributing mains of the plant.
The first pump of Salem Water Company
