ADD NORMAL WORK.
New Course of Study Issued by State
Superintendent Ackerman.
Salem The establishment of a one-
year teachers' training course, to be
optional with pupils in the loth, 11th
and 12th grades, is the principal fea­
ture of the new course of study which
has been issued by Superintendent
Ackerman and which will he used in
all Oregon public schools hereafter.
The new course of study is practical­
ly the same as heretofore in use so far
as the first eight grades are concerned.
The new features are found in the high
schools, which comprise the 9th, 10th,
11th and 12th grades. The new teach­
ers’ training course is not designed to
take the place of normal school work,
but is provided as an aid to those high
school pupils who contemplate entering
the teaching profession, hut who can­
not see their way clear to attend one of
the normal schools.
Many young peo­
ple now go from the high schools into
the common schools as teachers, and it
is the purpose of the training course to
fit them better for such work.
The course includes 14 weeks in
White’s “Art of Teaching,’’ seven
weeks of observation work, seven weeks
of practice teaching, four weeks’ study
of the common school course of study,
and four weeks’ study of practical
school problems.
Superintendent Ackerman expresses
the opinion that this optional work will

Roseburg Tillson & Co. have pur­
chased a tine equipment for their large
prune packing plant in this city, and
have begun work to enlarge arid re­
model the plant to handle Douglas
county’s large prune crop this year.
A new 30 horsepower boiler is now be­
ing placed for the steam plant, and
several new pieces of machinery for
grading and packing will be installed.
Nearly 200 car of evaporated prune-,
will be shipp< <! out of the county from
various points, a large portion of
which will be handled by local firms.
In addition to the new machinery the
building will be enlarged to almost
twice its present size.
H. L. Giles & Co., of Salem, have
purchased the Douglas County prune
packing house of Receiver T. R. Sheri­
dan, and will thoroughly overhaul and
make additions to the equipment.
These two large packing houses are
kept running for from three to four
months every fall. Besides th< se two
plants, there is another packing house
at Myrtle Creek that handles from 20
to 50 carloads every sea-on. There
will also be about 30 carloads of ap­
ples shipped from Douglas county th s
year.
The Douglas County Fruit­
growers’ association will handle about
half of this crop of apples.
Exhibition of Resources.
The Dalles The eighteenth annual
fair of the Second Eastern Oregon dis­
trict, comprising Wasco, Sherman, Gil­
liam, Wheeler, Crook and flood River
counties, will be held at The Dalles
for five days, commencing October 6,
and closing October 10.
A large number of premiums will
be offered for exhibits, races, etc. The
main attractions will be the big pavil­
ion, where all the fruits, cereals, How­
ers, fancy work, etc., will lie exhibited.
There will be races every day, a
track meet by athletes of the schools
of the district, Arnold’s Amusement
company will have concessions, and in
addition there will lie balloon ascen­
sions, high diving and other free at­
tractions.
As at present fruits and grains give
promise of being of excellent quality
and of large yield, it is expected that
the fair this year will surpass all
other efforts.
Freewater-Weston Line.
Pendleton According to the present
plans of the Walla Walla Traction
company, which is now operating the
electric line into Milton arid Freewater
in the north end of Umatilla county,
the company w ill use gasoline motors
on the extension of the line to Weston
and Athena, a distance of 20 miles.
Special motors will be ordered for this
section of the line, rind the expense of
electric juice, wire and poles will be
eliminated. It is understood that con­
tracts for 10 miles of grade between
Freewater and Weston have been let.
Better Service on C. S. Railway.
Condon The postal officials are con­
sidering the feasibility of securing a
i! service between
more adequate mail
Condon and points on the Columbia
Southern railway.
Under the present
system it takes three days to get re­
turn mail from points on these branch­
es. Considerable mail matti r is car­
ried between these towns.
It is
thought that what is called a closed
pouch will be made up on the Condon
branch and then placed on No. 7 at
Arlington, so as to make better connec­
tions at Biggs with the other branch.
Tree Loaded With Honey.
Pendleton One of the finest bee
trees ever found in this section of the
Blue mountains was found this week
on the Joe Parks homestead, a mile
from Meacham. Three swarms of bees
were in the immense tamarack tree
and eight gallons of fine honey was ex­
tracted.
The bees had entered the
hollow tree through a hole 20 feet
above the ground and the entire inside
of the tree, which was hollow, was
filled with the clear, rich wild honey,
the first ever found in this section.
The tree was located by an old woods­
man engaged in cutting cordwood on
the Parkes place, who watched the
swarms come to water at a mountain
spring near his cabin.
Big Demand for Harney Ranches.
Ifrewsey William Dunlap of this
place recently purchased the Howard
ranch, which is located about one half
mile west of here. The ranch is a 160
acre tract seeded down in alfalfa. The
consideration was $3,400. Mr. Dunlap
sold his stock ranch at Juntura, Or.,
about two miles west of Ifrewsey, to
Ed Stallard, of Juntura, for $3,000.
The ranch is a 160 acre tract. Several
valuable ranches have changed hands
in this section this year.
Famous Pear Orchard Sold.
Medford A syndicate of Eastern
men, headed by John 1). Olwell, of this
city, has purchased the famous pear
orchard of ('. II. Lewis, near this city,
for $160,000.
The orchard has held
the world's record for the highest price
paid for a earload of Cornice pears for
two years, one ear bringing $6,800.
This the largest deal in the history of
the fruii lands of the Rogue river val­
ley.
