TEACHER WHO RESIGNED
RETAINS HER LICENSE
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
RULES IN FAVOR OF NEz-
PIERCE SCHOOL MA'AM

Miss Edna Harrington, Nezperct
school teacher whose fight to retain
her teacher S license in the face of a
relinquished school position has been
heard before the state board of edu-
cation as a test case, will not forfeit
her right to teach. The board de-
cided in her favor Saturday.
In no respect, however, did the
board withdraw from its stated posi-
ton that breach of a school contract
means forfeiture of license to teach
The Harrington case was decided upon
the basis of evidence showing that the
teacher, before signing the contract
she was alledged to have broken, made
Il verbal agreement with school trus-
tees whereby she was to be permitted
to leave their employ in case . she
found better position.
DR.. Z. A. Bryan, state commissioner
of education, issued the following
brief report of the case:
The board finds from the evidence
as submitted that there was a verbal
agreement at the time the contract
was signed in April, 1919, which must
be construed as a part OF the contract
and that upon the evidence as given
said Edna Harrington did not break
the contract and therefore her license
IS not revoked.
The state board has a number of
Eases for trial for revocation of teach I
RS license for breach of contract on
he part of the teacher. Revocation
If teachers licenses is serious
oss as teachers where licenses are
evoked are not permitted to teach

FROM CRANCEV|LLE
TO SALMON CITY.
IN LESS THAN TWO |
HOURS BY A|RPLANf
Journey That Now Requires
Days Will Be Made by For
est Service in Minutes
High Power Bombing Planes
to Be Used by Government
in Fighting Forest Fires

A journey from Grangeville to Sal
mon City, a distance by air line of ap-
proximately 100 miles, is expected to
be made next summer by U. S. bomb
ing planes, which will probably be
utilized by the forest service, in COM
batting forest fires. The flight will
require less than two hours.
With high mountain peaks. deep
chasms and timber-covered slopes ex-
tending the entire distance between
the two cities, three days and two
nights under favorable weather condi-
tions, now are required for one to go
from Grangeville to Salmon City.
In jOurneying by rail, one must
pass from Idaho into two or three
other state, and then back into Idaho,
in order to make the trip. If the
northern route is selected, the journey
is by way of Spokane, Butte, Arm
stead, Mont, and thence by the Pitts
burg & Gilmore railroad to Salmon.
If the southern route is taken, one
passes through Lewiston, Walla Walla,
Pendleton, Weiser, Pocatello, and
thence to Armstead, and on to Salmon.
So rugged are the mountains be-
tween Grangeville and Salmon. that no
road nor trail connects the two places.
Representatives of the forest service |
say, if a person is familiar with the |
mountain country, he can make the |
trip overland on foot but this would
require more time and patience than
does the railroad trip.
Salmon has been selected as a land
ing place for the government air
planes, as has Grangeville Landings
also will be made, it is said. at Boze-
nan, Mont, Missoula, Mont, Kalis-
'ell, Mont, and Occur d'Alene.
1t is the plan of the forest service
o use high-powered airplanes with
louble motors for the work because of
ritual impossibility of aviators sue
essfully landing their planes in the
mountain country, should the engine
efuse to work. With two engines. it

The Leather Stocks

1t is said that good deal Of the re-
cent liquidation in the leather shares
has been due to the policy of the lead
ing companies in marking down their
inventories to prevailing market levels.
Another incentive for selling American
Hide and Leather has been found in the
reports that the company will issue an
unfavorable report for the June quar-
ter next Tuesday. June 80 will also
mark the completion Of the company's
fiscal year, and it is estimated that the
surplus for the twelve months will be
equivalent to about $40 share on the
preferred stock. compared with rate
Of $14 share for the first three qnas-
ters. The falling off in the last quar-
ter is believed to have resulted from
the reduction in the market value of
the company's leather stocks. At 8212

The Stillman Interview

Traders saw another obstacle to stock
market speculation in an interview
given out yesterday by James N. Still
man, president of the National City
Bank, and offered for sale the shares
of both industrial and railroad corpora
tions throughout the day with substan-
tial results. Mr. Stillman was quoted
as saying that money must be tight
through the remainder of 1920 and that
industries, not the banks. must make
good the wastes of the war. The real
shortage of capital, he commented,
cannot be made good by further ex
pansion of credit "Within the last
year." he added, "the national banks
have increased their loans about
100000, 5000 and the Reserve banks
about $500, 100000. The figures for
state banks and trust companies are
not available, but probably their in
crease is as much as that of the
national banks. This new credit has
been absorbed by higher prices and
helped to make the higher prices. Of
course. | think we will get through
the coming fall months, but l should
not like to have this taken as meaning
that the situation does not require the
mosc strenuous efforts to stop this in
hation, which has now increased bank
loans by a greater amount since the
armistice was signed than during the
war. No liquidation of credit has been
accomp lshed; the best that can be said
is that imitation has been stopped,
which, perhaps is all that can be hoped
for at present"

Reading Dissolution

Although it is expected that it will
be several months before plan has
been formulated for segregation of the
Reading Company's coal properties to
conform with the decision of the
United States Supreme Court. it is
understood that officials and bankers
have been holding conferences with
the view of meeting the wishes of the
government. There is nothing to pre-
vent these discussions, despite the fact
that the mandate III the case has not
yet been handed down nor the pros
pect that the Supreme Courts recess
