hat in Baker City last year, while in
tbe country districts tbe levy this year
will be about one third of tbat of last

estimate, and although the levy has
not been determined, it may be atattd !
that tbe amount aa computed upon the
valuations for thi year will be only
about one-Lalf of that last year. In
the city itself 30 mi'ls will Uke the
place ol 67, which waa paid in Baker
laet year.

WOULD REVISE LAWS.
Superintendent and Principals Sug
geat Important Changs.
Salem If tb legislator of 1907
shall stunt any considerable portion ol
the recommendations of th county
tchool superintendent of Oregon, the
public school of th state will have
more finds, longer terms and btter
paid teacher. In annual session here
th superintendent and principal
agreed upon many desned changes In
the school laws, some of them of much
importance and interest not only to
teachers and offii era, but to taipeyet
ami school patrons generally.
That the minimum length ot term
district shall maintain school shall be
increased Irom three to five months
ard tbat th county school levy shall
be raised from $ per capita to $9 per
capita, weie the most important cbangea
suggested. This ia raising tne mini
mum term 66 per cent, and increasing
the minimum county levy 3a per ceut
One recommendation of general inteiesl
to teacher is that an application be
granted bat one second or third grade
ceitificat in this state. At present
only one such certificate may be obtain
ed in a county, bat by going from one
joanty to another a teacher may get S3
third grade ceititka'. Tbe proposed
cbange in the law will compel teachers
to advance from year to year in their
educational qualifications.
In order to raise tb standard lor
ex unty papers, it is advised tbat alge
bra and physical geography be aiMud to
the list of subjects upon whicn an ap
plicant mnst be examined for a first
grade county certificate, and that ment
al arithmetic be dropped as a separate
subject. Composition, bookkeeping
and general history were suggeeed at
proper subjects to be ircluded in the
examination for first grade county cer
tific,tea, but only th two mentioned
were approved.
New Bridge Across th Umatilla.
Pendleton A new steel bridge'across
the Umatilla river ust below this csty
ia to be constructed by the O. R AN.
company to replace the present wooden
bridge, wh'ch was partly washed on'

men has beea placed at work upon the
preliminary work of the new bridge.
wbicb ia to be p'aced 600 feet below
tbe old bridge, and the main line trark
will be changed accordingly. By the
cbange, 903 feet of distance will be
saved thicugn a carve being elimin-
ted.
The State Population.
Salem Reports from all but five
conntiea in the state, and these sup
plied with estimate haaed upon school
atist'.ci by Labor Commissioner Hon,
gives tbe total population for Oieon,
according to the 1905 census, as 433
574, aa against 413,536, under tbe 1900
Federal census, or an increase of 20,03!-
n five years. These figures are based
on census retnrns Irom the counties
sending in reports to the office of secre
tary of state.
Hurters Cut Wire Fences.
McMinnville A number of farmer
