fOT WPLLY SECRET
Questions for Regular Teactv
- ers' Examination.
SOMEJNCQSimN.ClES m MARION
County Superintendent Who Huns a
Snmper School for Tenehera Bad
Access to Questions.
AIiBir.i July 12. Superintendent of
Pubife instruction J. H. Ackerman has
prepared and printed the list of ques
tlbnsforthe regular county teichers ex
amination, to be held on the second
Wednesday in August. These questions
will be mailed to the several County Su
perintendents -within a few days. The
present State Board of Education has
promulgated many new rules concerning
teachers' examinations, the general object
of which Is to throw around the exam
ination system safeguards against un
fairness, thus guaranteeing to employers,
of teachers that the holder of a certifi
cate is possessed of the qualifications in
dicated. The most important of these
rules Is as follows:
Rule 18.' All examination questions, stall be
fonrarded by the State Superintendent to th.o
byral County Superintendents, who fhall
have exoiusive charge of raid questions until
the examinations commence. The questions
' shall be Incloe4 in sealed, envelopes, whlb arc
not to tie opened until the day fixed .for the
examination, and thon only In the presence of
the Board of Examiners and the class, all the
applicant being Seated and ready to begin
tpclr Vojk. A membsr ef tho hoard shall hold
tjip packago of question up before the class
o j$utwtjat the eal has not been broken.
The, examination systern contemplates
.hat b.Qth teacher- and examiner shall be
entirely,, ignorant of the questions pro
pounded until the seal is broken In the
presence of th.e class gathered for exam
ination. The rule quoted Is nit Intended
as. an " insinuation that the County Su
perintendent might reveal the questions
to some candidate for a certificate, "but
is. calculated to glvo every person Inter
ested full assurance that such a disclos
ure 1s' Hmposslble--thit it not only will
not bo made, but cannot be . made. It
aims to protect the County Superintend
ents by placing them beyond suspicion.
In "addition to this precaution, each ap
plicant Is required, before receiving a cer
tlflca'te, to subscribe to the following
statement:
I do hereby certify that prior to this exam
ination I had no 'knowledge of the question!
proj09ed. and hayo neither given nor recclred
any aid during the progress of tho same.
But; rigid though the rules seem to be,
developments concerning the preparation
of the present set of questions Indicate
that there Is still a serious flaw In the
examination system. During the last
few weeks Superintendent of Public In
struction Ackerman has been assisted fre
quently by George W. Jones, Superintend
ent of the' public schools of Marion
County. The work performed by Profes
sor Jpnes was principally in tho tabula
tion of statistics regarding the public
scfibolg of all the counties of the staje.
However, when the examination ques
tions had been printed, Mr. Jones as
sisted in distributing them in groups for
mining to the several counties, and in
this work" had access to the questions for
a' considerable time.
Mr. Jones Is not only County Superin
tendent of Schools, but Is also a part own
er and teacher in a Summer school at
which teachers are prepared for the regu
lar examination. The school Is conducted
bj Professor Jones and Professor Krapps.
at the, Capital Business College In this
city, an3 is attended hy about 80 teach
ers. It Is conducted for the pecuniary
benefit of $he "proprietors. Superintend
ent Ajjkerm&n h.as no financial interest in
the school, but at the solicitation of the
proprietors has arranged to deliver an
address before the school o'n the subject
of pedagogy, upon which subject the.
teachers will be examined In Aust.-
It has been the custom in this county
for several years for County Superin
tendents or members of the examining
board to conduct Summer schools for
teachers who contemplate taking the next
ensuing examination, and while there
has been no open indication of unfairness
in conducting the schools, there has been
considerable murmuring among teachers
who did not take the course of instruc
tion or who paid the required tuition fee
reluctantly. While no one who knows
him will accuse Mr. Jones of taking un
due advantage of his access to the exam
ination questions to further his financial
ends, many will question tho propriety of
the Inconsistent positions he occupies.
Superintendent Jones' term of office will
expire July St, when he will be super
seded by Superintendent-elect E. T.
Moores.
Hop Combine Tin probable.
Squire Farrar, a Salem nop dealer, ex
presses serious doubts of the possibility
of an organization of growers controlling
"75 per cent of the hpp acreage of this
state. Ke says that fully 20 por cent of
the acreage Is already under contract and
mortgaged to, or is owned by the dealers
and is therefore beyonil the reach of an
organization having for Its obiect the
limitation of the hop production. He says
that of the remaining SO per cent there
are many who sold their nops early last
Fall and secured a good price, and that
these men wllPnot go Into any sort of
a combination. There are others who
expect a good price this Fall, and who
will nof. bind themselves- to destroy a
part of their crop if profitable prices can
be obtained for all of.-it These classes,
together with those who will stay out of
the combination for .various reasons, he
figures will make it impossible .for 75 per
cent of the acreage-to -be controlled.
Soldiers Hare Mouths tor Cream.
' The-two Salem creameries have had. oc
casion' to note that the Oregon National
Guard is encamped near Salem, for they
have lost considerable cream this week,
because of the consumption of milk at
Camp Goer, and the .Increased -consumption
-of Ice cream in the cltyi The de
crease in the supply of' cream, owing to.
the encampment, is about 600 pounds. The
Goodhue creamery reports the week's
output of butter at 2J0Q pounds. ' The
Townsend creamery has manufactured
about 1200 pounds of butter in tho past
week. Both creameries are paying 374
cents gross for butter fat. and exoect to
advance the price to 15. cents next week;
An Indirect Court Index.

ond Oregon Volunteers gathered" near the
mlttee to aak Genoral Summers' attend
ancc. when the General appearea ne
was greeted with three cheers, and was
asked to address the crowd-, which ho "did
in a. neat speech, complimenting the boys
upon their work In the Guard.' Captain
McDoncll -and Mays and Lieutenants
POLK COUNTY PIONEER.
Thornton, Murphy and Flnzer and others
were also callod to ' the center of the
crowd and given rousing cheers.
At the Invitation of Mayor C. P. Bishop
the 'Oregon National Guard this forenoon
paraded the streets of Salem. The sol
diers entered the olty near the Capitol,
marched around the Capitol, down.Stite,
and -Commercial streets, and back to
CampGeer. General Boebe and staff led
the narade. and were followed In order
h- CnYnnri Yoran and staff, the Fourth
Regiment band, the Fourth Regiment,
Colonel Everett and stiff, tho Third Reg
iment band, the Third reclment.the First
Separate Battalion, Battery A, Troop B.
of Sumnter. and Troon A. of Lebanon. A
.large number of citizens witnessed the
parade but the .crowd was not nearly so
largo "as It would have been had notice
of the event been raoro generally given.
General Beebe returned Mayor Bishop's
compliment by Inviting the OUy Council
and Chamber of Commerce to witness
tho review at the parade grounds. Tho
invitation was accepted, and the mem
bers of both these organizations attended
the parado at Camp Geer tnis evening in
a body.
The best of feeling prevails between the
citizens' of Salem and the soldier boys.
All the business houses are decorated
with the National colors in recognition of
the city's military guard. Many business
men have displayed appropriately deco
ratea placards bearing the inscription:
"Welcome, O. N. G., Salem." The bqys
aro everywhere given courteous treat
ment Occasionally when a crowd of
boys get down town together In the even
ing after a day of restraint, they be
come boisterous in their merry-making.
Night Policeman Smith gives them all the
liberty possible, and speaks a cautioning
word only when they become too noisy,
ho general comment Is that the Guard
as at present constituted Is. made up of
fine set of fellows.
The visitors ybo crowd around the pa
rade' grounds ever' evening to watch the
review are critical observers of the move
ments of the troops. Everybody. Watches
to see which company makes the best
appearance, and nearly every one has an
opinion to express, but the opinions dif
fer. So far as the infaptry Is concerned,
it would be impossible to select a com
pany that receives the first approval of
a majority of the spectators. The officers
themselves say both official and unoffi
cially that they are unable to determine
that any one company excels all the oth
ers. Tho officers and visitors agreo. how
ever,' that all the companies have made
great progress during the encampment,-
anq that each succeeaing paraae snows l
marked improvement.
But in the cavalry branch of the serv
ice the crowd has decided that the Lebav
'non troop has made the best showing.
This is nothing disparaging to tne sump
ter Troop, for to be a close second to tlje
boys of Troop A Is an honor In itself.
Troop A has been organized much longer:
than Troop B, and results of the greater
amount of drill are readily perceptible in
both men and horses. A man can be
trained on short notice if" he will apply
himself, but it takes time and continued
practice to train a horse. Had the Sump
ter boys begun drilling at the same time
as the Lebanon boys did. It Is dlfllcwlt, to
say what the relative showing would be
now. Captain Cpplan, of tho Lebanon
troop. Is a. veteran of the Philippine War
and has served seyeral years in the
United" States pavalry Service. It has
bdbn said of him, and perhaps without
cRtrayagance, that what he d.pes not
know about cavalry drill Is' not worth
knowing. With thl? sort of a man at the.
head of their rivals, the Sumpter boys
need not qxpoct to make the best showing
on paradel" Captain Mulr,of the' Sumpter
troop, has reason, to bo proud of his com-
manu.
So far as first appearances are con
corned. Troop A Is at a disadvantage.
The Sumpter troop Is composed almost
entirely of' well-to-do business men of
that enterprising town in Baker County.
Thojr have been'careful In selecting their
horses, and have' spared no reasonable
expense to make their appearance all
that could be desired. The horses are
near! j- all of the samo color and of about
the same size. A different condition pre
vails In the Lebanon troops, for there
are scarcely two horses of the same col
or, and the sizes differ greatly. The boys
are all young, many of them farmer
boys, and the horses usea are those tliat
could be spared from the usual rork.
While there are some first-class horsey
In "the troop, most of them appear to be
far from thoroughbreds. When the
horses are lined up for drill and the col
ors pretty badly mixed, they present a
spectacfe that is a iltUe amusing. But
when the boys ride down past the re
viewips' officer In lines marvblously
straight, the amusement turns to admira
tion. "' ' "
Tho body of Rpy D. Gage was brought
tq- camp this morning. A- guard of -slx4

btfdy will be shipped to Portland for burial-by
relatives". " " "
It Is pot known when the encampment
will break 'up, hut It "is expected that the
boys will start home Immediately after
noon Saturday. The pay-Tqll has ' heep.

FIFTY YEARS lARRIED.
Golden Wedding- Anniversary of a
Pioneer Polk County, Couple,
Among the many pleasant happenings"
on the Fourth of July jqst pagt was the
celebration of the golden wedding ot Clai
borne G Walker and Mrs. Louisa Pur
vlpo Wajkert fit Jhelr residence In Spring
Valley, "near Zena. Polk Cqunty, elght

The wedding took place at the home of
the bride, July 4, ISM; on. the Hubbard
farm. The minister. Elder Mack Waller,
of Eola, had officiated at a wedding at
Dixie in the forenoon. "In foing from
Dixie to Hubbard he lost his way, "'ana"
did not arrivo till 10 o'clock at night', ani
was so 111 that it was only tlth the
greatest resolution he could perform the
ceremony
The new family began life In q. humble
log cabin oh Mr. Walker's donation cffUrn
In Spring Valley. This claim was orje
hal? "by two miles In extent! well watered
and adapted to stock-raising. In this
business Mr. Walker was very successful,
adding a quarter section to his posses
sions. Later." he' turned his attention to
horticulture, which proved for many
years even more remunerative than
stock-raising. The log cabin gave' place

this
m ium, - in 1010 to n commoaious
residence, which hns slnpe been the(f
hope. Though having qp children of their

Wh.p, tyith his'famfly, shared the home

Frtfm cn'rllcs.t days the hospitality of the
Walkers was widely known, and It Is now
I one of their keenest regrets that Infirm
ities or age ana changed conditions make
it Impossible to extend; the same hospi
tality as in former years;
Mr; and Mrs. Walker "have loqg been
active members of the church and fore
most' in every good work in the commu
nity. They gave liberally of their means
to erect the building at Zena, 40 years
ago. and when It was transferred to them
by the Cumberland Presbyterians in 11,
they Immediately deeded It to the Pres

AN ILLEGAL INTEREST
PUBLIC OFFICERS MUST NOT SUP
PLY MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.
Law Has Been Disregarded In Wash-
InstonSecond Notice Has Been
Given nt Centralia.
CENTRALIA. Wash., July 12. Notice
has been served on School Director E. B.
Foote. of School District No: 9, which
comprises .Centralia and su.burbs, calling
his attention to section 2316 of Balllnger
codo of Washington, and warning him
against violation of it. The section re
ferred to Is as follows:
It, shajl be unlawful for any Director-to have
pay pecuniary Interest, either directly or ln
dlrectlr. in the erection of any schoolhouscs, or
for warming, ventilating, furnishing or repair
ing the same, or be la. any. manner connected
with, the furnishing of supplies for the maln-tejQ&nce-'o?
schools, or to receive or accept any
compensation or reward for Services rendered
as director.
Mr. Foote Is advised not to violate the
above section, and also to sge that! the
.other members of the Doard refrain from
violating it. He is' also notified that in
"jfuture he must not audit bills for labor
performed or supplies" furnished by mem
bers of the board. He lis further notified
.that he will be held 0 a strict accounting
fqr any violation of the. law.
, It has beep customary In ths district
.for some time past, for the. Directors,
.whenever possible, to furnish material
nnd supplies, for the schools,, and, at times,
to perform labor. Little .or no attention
Was given to the matter until taken up
.nt' the present time by Attorney Frank
Burch. A short time ago both of the
large school buildings In the city were
.treated to a new cqat of paint, a large
portion of the paints, oils, etc., and other
'material? Used were furnished by two
of the Directors. The fact that the resi
dences of several of the Directors have
been clothed In a new coat of paint similar
to that worn by the school buildings,
seems to have caused the matter to b
commented upon.
; .A'sliort time ago the members of th
City Council were served with a similar
riptlce, in regard to city officials per
forming work for the city outside their
'o'fflcfa'r duties, and furnishing materials
fqr'clty purposes and receiving pay for
the same.
Nothing further than serving the notices
on the parties has so far. been done, but
Mr. Burch. says that any further viola
tion of the law" in theso respects will be
taken up ahd brought before tho courts.
