It, fc OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 6. In his forthcoming annual report, Land Commissioner Hermann will call attention to the remarkable trend of emigration toward the far Western States. "While it is impossible to analyze this movement, reports received at the depart ment from time to time show that a large portion of the new homestead entries are being made by experienced farmers, who have sold out valuable lands In the Mis sissippi "Valley and Middle West at $50 or more an acre, and have acquired equally valuable tracts at a nominal cost on the Pacific Coast, at the same time having a wide margin left for improvements. Oregon and "Washington have particularly attracted this class of settlers, many of whom, being unable to find homesteads to their liking, have purchased farms. . Through his annual report Commis sioner -nermann Intends to call attention to the wonderful discoveries made by the O. R. & X. Co., after costly experiments in Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho, that large tracts of arid lands tributary to their road may be reclaimed by planting alfalfa and other hardy range plants. He will show that several million acres of this land now vacant are suited for pasturage without. Irrigation, and, being accessible to transportation lines, are doubly valu able. The Commissioner Is confident these experiments will ultimately Introduce countless settlers In this now practically uninhabited region. AGREE OX XEV FRANCHISE.

In- Capital City Securing: Rooms, Which Will Be Scarce. SALEM, Or., Oct 6. (SpecIaL)-State Senators Booth and Kuykendall, of L.ane County, were in Salem today, and returned .home this evening. The presence of Son alter Fulton, of Clatsop County, at the same time gave rise to speculation as to the -political significance of the visit by the three Senatorial leaders. Senators Booth and Kuykendall say they are here looking for rooms to occupy during the legislative session. Senator Fulton is here on one of his occasional visits, and his presence has no particular significance. All three of the Senators were kept busy phaklng hands with their friends, and Senator Fulton found time to take a car- . ria ge ride with Sentor Croisan, of Ma rion. V Eoth Senators Croisan and Farrar called upon Senators Booth and Kuykendall and Fulton at the hotel this evening, but so far as learned the meeting was entirely social, and political matters were not dis cussed. nooms win not be very plentiful in Salem this Winter. Houses for-rent are already very scarce, and when the mem bers of the Legislature, clerks and lohhv ist3 begin to congregate, all the desirable iuuiu -in iiuiejs aim private dwellings will Dfe nued. MemDers of the Legislature usu ally engage tnelr; rdoms two or three months lit advance. DIG DEMAND FOR EGGS. Opening for Poultry-GrotTer Near Baker City. BAKER CITY, Or.. Oct 6. (Special.) The demand for eggs is so' great In Baker City that several carloads of Eastern eggs nave to oe snipped into tms city every year.

Scarcity of teachers HARD TO SUPPLY DEMAND OREGON SCHOOLS". FROM Prosperoas Times Have Caused Many to Seek Other Work Low Sal aries Another Faalt. SALEM. Or., Oct 6. Special.) From every part of the state comes the report that there is a scarcity ot- teachers for the public schools. While there are teach ers enough to supply nearly all the schools, the smaller schools paying the lowest salaries cannot get teachers. A few years ago school boards Vere flooded with applications for positions, and, now only the better schools have applications enough. When asked today why this change has taken place. Superintendent Ackerman aid: "In these prosperous times In all branches of Industry teachers find that they can do better in some other occupa tion than in teaching. Young men par ticularly have abandoned teaching In the last two or three years. "Teachers' wages have not kept pace with the advance In compensation for other services. The average wages of male teachers in this state Is $47 ?S per month. Last year it was $45 SS. That 1b PHYSICAL DIRECTOR OF OREGON CITY Y. M. C. A1. OREGON CITY, Oct C (Special.) W-lllaxn H.

Working , hlB . way through school. .He has done gym. naslum work constantly since 1894, and while at college was one of the beat half-mile men In school. In 1898 he won a medal in the 100 yard handicap at the Chautauqua athletic tourmamenu. All through his colleelate course he coached the ladles' basbct ball team of the school, and under his direction they never lost a game. It is his inten tion to have winning teams in all of the Y. M. C. A. classes this Win ter. Mr. Beach Is 25 years of age, five feet six Inches In height, and is stocklly built weighing about 145 pounds. an advance of less than ?2 a month. In the same time the cost of living has ad vanced more than that amount. The av erage wages of female teachers Is now $37 61 per month, as compared with 536 09 per month last year. When a teacher haa paid his living expenses out of the sal- ry mentioned there Is little left for ex penses tnrougn tne long vacation, auring which no salary Is received. "While the average salary "of male teachers J47 58 Is a living wage, there are many men who have Been teaching for a much less sum than the average. In several counties the average wages for men drops down below $40 per month, so that some must be working for even less money than that. Those who have been accepting the compensation offered by the smaller schools are now going Into busi ness or other occupations that pay bet ter. In order to hold the teachers, it will beSiecessary for the school boards to ad- Vance wages in accordance- with the in crease in other occupations." WANTS NO CLOSED SEASON. Salem Man Says Black Bass Are Now Plentiful. SALEM, Or., Oct C Gideon Steiner, a well-known fish dealer In this city, wants the next Legislature to repeal the law which creates a close season for catching black bass. He says the fish are plentiful enough now, so that they will not be ex terminated even If the people are permit ted to take them at all seasons of the vtar. He notices the statement of John W. TItcomb, of the United States Fish Commission, In The Oregonlan of Octo ber 1, and says that he does not entirely agree that black bass are a dangerous foe to salmon. If that be true, however, he thinks it is sufficient reason why the law should permit black bass to be caught at any season of the year and In any man ner. Mr. Steiner placed the first black bass In the waters of the Willamette 14 years ago. They were supplied from the United States fish hatchery at Qulncy, 111., and were planted In the Willamette with the consent and approval of United States Fish Commissioner McDonald and State Fish Commissioner Thompson. The pur pose was to supply the streams of the Willamette Valley with a species of game fish which would furnish sport for Oregon fishermen and fresh-water fish for Oregon tables. Since the planting of the fish was approved by the Fish Commissioners,, he thinks there must be some mistake about their destroying any considerable number of salmon. As the purpose of the protect ing law has been accomplished, Mr. Stein er now wants the black-bass season open thV year round, so that the people can get fresh-water fish whenever they care to catch them.
