The teachers employed In tho Ore
gon City public schools, have unani
mously petitioned the Board of Direc
tors for an advance In wages from
$10 to $15 per month each. In ad
dressing tho Hoard, the teachers make
the following statement:
"Even with this Increase, our wages
will still be lower than teachers are
receiving In many other districts for
tho same service. Wo also beg to
say that our wages are as low or low
er than during tho hard times of 1893,
that other cities have Increased their
teachers' wages, that living expenses
are higher now than when the present
rate of wages was fixed. We are com
pelled to live twelve months on a
salary for nine months, of $33.75 per
month. When one pays at least $16
for living expenses It leaves $17.75
for dress, books, laundry, car fare,
incidentals, etc. Wo do the work In
nine months that the Portland teach
ers do in ten Bnd our work compares
favorably with theirs. To meet with
any deficit that this may cause, wo
ask that a special levy be made."
The Increases petitioned for are as
follows: City Superintendent from
$85 to $100 per month; two princi
pals, $05 to $75; primary teachers,
$50 to $00; grade teachers who have
been receiving $10, $12.50 and $15,
according to length of service with
tho Oregon City schools, to a uniform
salary of $55 each. The granting of
Hits desired Increase In salaries means
an additional expense to the District
of $1100 per annum In tho aggregate.
Miss Irene McCown was elected a
grade teacher to succeed Miss Flom-
mlng, resigned, at a meeting of the
Directors Monday night.
The teachers feel that they are just
fled in asking for the advance In wa
ges that has been petitioned for. They
are of the opinion that their services
are worth all that Is asked, In view
of the fact that other teachers in this
section rcelve such wages for a simi
lar service.
"All of tho appropriations made by
the legislature have been paid and no
extra levy for state purposes will be
necessary," said one of tlie interested
teachers yesterday in discussing the
matter, "in addition to this fact there
Is an Increase of more than $200,000

Gearin was appointed United States
Senator to succeed the late John H.
Mitchell; Governor Chamberlain an
nounced the appointment this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
In making the selection, Governor
Chamberlain went carefully over the
Indorsements that had been submit
ted to him by friends of several other
candidates, many of whom received
flattering support.
The preponderance, however, was In
favor of Mr. Gearin.
"I considered this matter," said tho
governor, "in the light of the state's
necessities; although I would have
preferred to observe more formality
and wait longer after the death of the
late Senator, I believed that the sit
uation called for immediate action.
It Is Imperative that representation
at Washington be adequate and the
presence right now of Senator Gearin
will make for the good of the common
wealth, s
"I had Indorsements from all parts
of the state for Mr. Gearin; they came
from every district whence another
candidate had appeared, and there was
such a preponderance of sentiment
that, had I followed that alone, I
would perforce have named him.
"It is apparent to me, however, that
Senator Gearin can do most for the
state just at this time, his views are
closely in accord with those that are
now held by the masses of the people;
his position is assured in support of
those who are working for the better
ment of civic conditions throughout
the nation.

Governor Chamberlain has empha

of the necessities of a greater Oregon,
