Divorces Multiply.
Again on Wednesday the bonds of
matrimony were dissolved. This time
it was the case of Lillie Scoggan vs.
Woodford Scoggan. The plea on which
Mrs. Scoggan obtained her dissolution of
the marriage ties was abandonment for
a period of mere than one year prior to
the commencement of ber suit. Mrs.
Scoggan has a minor boy whom, in her
prayer, she requested the custody of of
the court. This has undoubtedly been a
record breaker for divorce suits. One
attorney in the city hag three cases of
bis own. and several other attorneys in
the city have several. Friday of this
week a Mary Waack filed ber complaint
against her husband, Thomas Waack,
for the dissolution of the marriage con
tract on the grounds of cruel and inhu
man treatment. This case will proba
bly be tried this term, and several more
are on the horizon and will be entered
next term. .

Teachers Scarce.
County Superintendent of Schools J.
C. ZinBer, editor of the School Bulletin,
has the following to say in regard to the
scarcity of teachers :
'Never before was it so difficult to se
cure teachers. General prospenty in
every line of indstry and the consequent
need of teaching force. This is true nqt
only of Clackamas county, but of the
entire state. The fact is, all other lines
of activity are offering better induce
ments, and the cost of living has been
increased to such an extent that teachers
can do longer afford to accept the meager
salaries many of our smaller schools can
offer, Clackamas county has had resig
nation after resignation this summer.
Many of of our best teachers are either
going into other lines of work, or they
accept better salaries elsewhere, said
one of our beBt teachers, who gave up
his position as principal recently : "I am
now working in the harvest field, and
as a common field band I am making $8
more per month than my board offered
me a an advance for next year. And
really I work shorter hours, with less
responsibility, and it does not take any
"pull" to get a job, either.' Another
whom the superintendent asked if he
were not ready to take a school again,
remarked : "Well I guess not ; I am only
a beginner in stenography, and even so
I am doing better than I ever did teach
ing. Why, I have a triend who is a
carpenter, and not much of a carpenter,
either, and he is making $85 a month.
"And these illustrations could easily
be multiplied. As school officers and
citizens we are confropted by the fact
that the entife industrial situation has
chaneed. All lines of work have de
veloped wonderfully and are offering
better inducements, especially to men,
while the salaries of teachers are where
they were 10 years ago The average
salary for men teachers in Oregon is
$44.46; for women, $35 53. For Clack
amas county it is even worse, the aver
age salary for men, including principals
of Oregon City and the other large towns,
is $42.65; women, $32.56.
"TheBe teachers are expected to pre
pare themselves by a thorough course
of professional study they are expected
tojdress well, to attend teacherB'meetings
and read professional papers and books ;
and for several months out of the year
they are to be without employment.. The
result is inevitable. It means the con
stant loss of our best teachers, and the
elimination of men from the Bchoolroom.
LaBt August this county examined a
class of 50 candidates. Among these
there was one man, and he does not
teach in this county. Multnomah
county examined a class of 108, among
whom there were three men.
"It is enough to state (the facts, If
our people can be brought to under
stand the situation, they will not be long
in finding a remedy."
Why la Main Street So Muddy ?
Several times during the last week
the question has been askeel, "Why is
Main street so muddy this season, while
formerly it was kept so clean 7" The
answer is, that the ;mua comes irora ine
heayily laden dirt wagons which have
been carrying the diit from the M. E.
church to the canvon north of the Con-
gregational church. These muddy
roads will not long continue so bad as
the dirt hauling business will soon be
completed.
Mixed Ekk.
Professor Edwin Ray Lankester was
sitting In his office In the Natural nis
tory museum, Loudon, when he was
visited by an elderly woman, evident
ly from the country, who carried a
parcel which she handled with the
most exaggerated care. She was In a
state of great excitement and 'ex
claimed: "I've got two of 'em."
"Two cf what?" inquired the pro
fessor. "Two 'awks eggs," replied the wom
an. "I'm told they're worth a thou
sand pounds apiece."
The professor, much Interested, looked
at the eggs. "These are not auks' eggs,"
he . '.
'V y are 'awks' eggs," said his vis
itor. "My son Joe found 'em."
A light dawned on the naturalist.
"The kind of eggs which are so valu
able," he remarked gently, "are the
eggs of an extinct bird called the nuk
-a-u-k."
"Oh, hnuk!" said the womnn. "I'll
pay out that 'Enry 'Obhouse as told
me It was 'awks' eggs as was wanted."
And she went away."
A Clever Pickpocket.
In Tarls two police officers recently
got upon the track of a pickpocket.
They surprised him In the act at the
omnibus bureau and followed him In
hot pursuit. He was a thin, poorly
clad young fellow. In the Rue Roche-
chonaut, however, he suddenly disap
peared. Judging that he had slipped
Into one of the houses they set tllem
solves to watch for his reappearance.
The thief In the meantime had entered
a bathing establishment, and after a
refreshing bath entered the box of an
other bather and calmly clothed him-
self in the smart suit he found there,
then passed proudly and peacefully
out before the very eyes of his pur
suers. The climax (of humor came
when the other bather, arrayed In the
rags of the pickpocket, was grabbed by
the officers of the law at the door and
draccred off to the station house. With
some difficulty the situation was ex
plained; but the pickpocket is still
toughing.
