NEEDS CITED
EASTERN OREGON'S ISOLATION
POINTED OUT.
Majority Registrations and Teaching
Done Near Monmouth.
Fred Lockley formerly one of the
owners of the East Oregonian of Pen
dleton is in town in the interest of
the proposed Eastern Oregon Normal
school at Pendleton. In speaking of
the matter Mr. Lockley said: "A good
many people are wondering why we
do not get better results for the
money spent for education. There
is no denying the fact that we are not
getting results commensurate with
the money spent. Many factors en
ter into the reason for our lack of.
success along educationr.l lines. Lack
of home training is one of the big
factors. Another factor is the lack
of preparation of our teachers. High
salaries are the rule throughout
Eastern Oregon yet in spite of many
of the rural districts paying high sal
aries they are not getting the service
to which they are entitled. They se
cure inexperience or untrained teach
ers. An orchardist would not employ
a nan to prune his tiees who knew
nothing about the work yet this same
farmer -will as a member of the schoal
board employ an untrained teacher to
instruct his own and his neighbors'
children. When it is realized that on
ly 13 per cent of the 6055 teachers in
the public schools of Oregon are nor
mal school graduates it is easy to see
that many of the schools are 'com
pelled to employ untrained teachers.
The reason for our having so few
properly trained teachers is not far
to seek. We have but one normal
school in Oregon. This school is .lo
cated in the Willamette valley and
most of its students come from the
immediate vicinity of the school. Its
graduates are absorbed largely with
in the territory surrounding the
school. In fact during the past five
years the nine leading counties of
Eastern Oregon furnished but 91
students to the Monmouth normal
school as against a registra
tion of 877 from the nine leading
Willamette valley counties. Only 39
graduates of this school tnught in
Eastern Oregon during the past five
years as against 203 who taught in
the Willamette valley. This certain
ly proves conclusively that a normal
school is needed in Eastern Oregon.
The leading educators of the state are
almost a unit in endorsing the move
ment to have a normal school estab
lished east of the Cascades to train
Eastern Oregon students as teachers
for Eastern Oregon schools. J. A.
Churchill, an eastern Oregon man
who is familiar with the needs of
Eastern Oregon and one of the hard-
! est-working and most enicient superin-
tendents of public instruction Oregon
has ever had voices the sentiments of
1 the educators of the state when he
says:
' "Oregon's greatest need for its
! rural schools is the teacher who has
; had full preparation to do her work.
Such a preparation can best come
i through normal school training.
' "I trust that the voters of the
state will assist in raising the stand
', ard of our schools by establishing a
' state normal school at Pendleton,
i The location is central, the interest of
the people of Pendleton in education
; most excellent, and the large number
' of pupils in the public schools will
; gifre ample opportunity to all students
j to get the amount of teaching practice
; required in a standard normal
school.' "
Hip Is Broken by Falling Gin Pole.
Clatskanie, Or., Aug 15. The gin
pole of a hay derrick on the J. W.
Miller place slipped while the derrick
was being set up last Saturday and
struck Mr. Miller's 9-year-old son,
breaking his leg near the hip. Be
cause of the location of the fracture,
the lad will have to be strapped fast
to his bed while the bone knits. C.
L. Potter, a laborer on the Miller
farm was thrown a distance of 20 feet
when the pole fell, but escaped serious
injury.
Foreign Corporation Will Enter State.
Salem, Or., Aug. 15. The Savage
Tire company, of California, with a
capital of $10,000, has filed with Cor
poration Commissioner Schulderman
its declaration of intention of engag
ing in business in the state. Articles
of incorporation have been filed by the
Wilson Siding Grain & Elevator com
pany, of lone, which has a capital of
$3000.
Th Highsct, Largest and Most OrnaU
Structure of Their Kind.
The biggest bridge in the world Is the
Forth bridge. The British navy can
pass under It, uud Its biggest dread
naught looks like a pygmy In compari
son. The highest bridge In the world Is
the wonderful single span which
crosses the gorge discovered by Liv
ingstone, Into which the mighty Zam
bezi leaps In a fall only matched by
Niagara. This light, airy looking struc
ture is 400 feet above the river bed, so
that the dome of St. PnuTs could com
fortably stand- beneath it
The longest single span in the world
Is the span of Brooklyn bridge. It is
a suspension bridge, and Its supporting
towers ure 1,000 feet apart. Imagine
the strength of the cables capable of
supporting such a terrlflc dead weight,
to which add the surging truffle of two
vast cities.
The two longest bridges In the world
are the Tay bridge in Scotland and the
great bridge which carries the rallwoy
across the St Lawrence at Montreal.
The most, ornate bridge In tTio world
Is the Tower bridge across the Thames.
In fact, it is perhaps the most beautiful
bridge in existence. It is unique, too.
In that It is both a girder bridge and a
suspension bridge and is nlso like the
ancient drawbridges of romance.
Its cost was 1,500.000, which Is Just
about half the amount the Forth bridge
cost London Chronicle. '
INFLATION AS A DEFENSE.
Easy for the Puffer Fish to Balk Its
Natural Enemies.
The puffer fish affords a novel exam
ple of the way nature sometimes works
to protect her creatures. The mojiy
different species inhabit all tropical and
other warm seas and certain large riv
ers. Few of them reach a length of
more than two feet
The peculiar characteristic common
to all of them Is their ability to iullate
themselves fl ith ulr or water until they
become almost spherical in shape. The
air er water that fills the abdomen or
the esophageal sac Is retained by .a
valve In the throat and can be dis
charged almost instautly.
A few good sized scup were placed lp
one of the exhibition tanks of the New
York Zoological society with a dozen
puffers about two Inches long. The
hungry scup at once attacked the puff
ers, but in on instant every puffer in
flated Itself so completely with water
that it became almost globular. All the
scup could do was to knock thorn about
like toy balloons, too big to be swal
lowed, too smooth to afford any hold
to the jaws.
Puffers thut become frightened near
the surface of the sea and are inflated
with air sometimes drift nsliore, where
they roll along the sands until they die
and are dried by the sun and wind.
The Japanese make lanterns of their
dried inflated bodies, for the stretched
skin Is as transparent as oiled paper.
Youth's Companion.
Locating Icebergs. '
The captain of an ocean steamer in
most cases finds out when his vessel
Is approaching an iceberg from the
men down In the engine room. Thut
sounds queer, but it Is a fact never
theless. It appears that when a
steamship enters water considerably
colder than that through which It bus
been going its propeller runs faster.
Such water usually surrounds the vici
nage of Icebergs for many miles.
When the propeller's action therefore
Is accelerated without the steam pow
er being Increased word Is passed up
to the officer on the bridge that ice
bergs may be expected, und u close
lookout for them Is established. There
are natural reasons for the profiler
acting In this way, and sea captains
will assert the same thing.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF
BACK
HURTS
Take a glass of Salt to flash Kidneys
if Bladder bothers yon Drink
lot of water.
Eating meat regularly eventually pro
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be
cause the urio acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis
ery in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation. .
The moment your bock hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a gloss of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity ; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jud Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
