I- mm w bat has been said to Influential
Senators and Congressmen it is plain
that President Taft is very much in
earnest In hla efforts to carry tnrough

it that he has threatened to call a

none so far as to iheraten what he

EXPERT ON GROUND
AT STONE OIL WELL
FRIEND OF WELL SAYS WRONG
, EXPLOSIVE IS BEING TRIED
RECOMMENDS GLYCERINE.
STONK, Or., Feb. 2. (Stil.) Well,
there Is still grout activity around
our oil well hero and the Interest In
lis success or lack of success is still
nt fever heat. There wns some little
disappointment when tho attempt to
shoot It turned out to be barren of
results. What we wanted to see here
was a stream of oil to mount high up
In the air nnd run down and over a
twenty acre Hold or two.
Todny the well owners hnd a man
from Hie fnclory, where tho explosive
was made, on tho ground to soe what
was tho mnttor with their explosive.
Naturally the well owners blamed it
on the explosive, especially ns the
mini In charge of the well did the
same thing.
An old woll operator living near
here says the trouble is not with the
explosive, or with tho battery either,
hut that nn effort la being mndo to do
something thnt can't be done. He
snys that dynnmite won't explode with
a battery down ns deep as the well Is
850 foot. Ho says thnt If they want
to shoot the well nt thnt depth they
must uso nltroglycorlne to get results.
He snys he knows for he has been
through the trouble.
We all Hvo In hopes the difficulty
will he remedied and good results se
cured.

SALEM, Or., Feb. 8. (Spl.) The
ways and means committee tonight

College the $570,000 It has asked for.
The teachers it Clackamas county
had a successful meeting at Canby
Snturuny, Feb. 4.
The twicheru of the public school of
Canby were at the depot when the
9; to trains rolled in to meet the many
teachers, who came to attend the
Teachers' institute. Tho visiting
teachers were escorted to Iho City
Hull where everything was lu readi
ness for Hie progrartime.
With County Superintendent Gary
In the chair and more thnn forty
touchers and quite a number of visit
ois tho program began on scheduled
time.
MIsh Lillian Anderson, of Barlow
wns the first on duty nnd she read a
most excellent paper on the subject
of "Prlmtiry Heading." Her paper was
full cf Illustrations of Iho methods she
employes with bo much success in
stinting out the beginner.
Miss KvaiiB, of the Mundorf school.
near Canby, wns the next In order.
Hor pnpor on "Intermediate Reading"
wns very instructive and much en
Joyed. She emphnsl.ed the early use
of tho dictionary, also the Importance
of the pupil being able to master
"Thought getting nnd thought express
ing." She laid empbasla on the study
cf literature during this period of the
child's education.
Miss Roma Stafford, one of Oregon
City's most successful teachers, gavo
us from notes she had prepared, a
splendid discourse on "Advanced
Heading." She laid stress on the fact
that by reading knowledge is acquired
and therefore Its importance cannot
bo over estlmnted. The mastery of
thought and feeling nre two Import
ant elements. Most nobly did Miss
Stafford defend Cyr's Renders, against
which some adverse criticism has
been made. The teacher waa advised
never to teach a lesson which he or
she did not like, hut was urged to
learn to like those solectlons which
were In the texts. A number of choice
s!ections suitable to be used as sup
plementary work were named and the
linnutles of each were pointed out.
Mr. 11. Vedder, who was to discuss
"Clncknmas County Athletic League"
hnd with regrets notified Superintend
ent Gnry that it wns Impossible for
him to be present, so this question was
thrown before the Institute for gen
eral discussion. Everyone seemed to
endorse the athletic movement and
especially hnse ball was encouraged.
This ended the A. M. programme
and next in order was the dinner
which wns being prepared by the lad
les of town while the institute was
In session.
Exercises in the afternoon begnn
promptly nt 1:30, but the recollections
of the dinner hour could not he cast
oslde, and the first net was a vote of
thanks to those who hnd prepared and
served this repast. Prof. Tooze was
desirous of the reproduction of the
dinner, and many othera kept refer
ring to this part of the programme
during the remainder of the day. A
motion was also made that It be re
quested of the three ladlea who par
ticipated in the forenoon programme
