Those Who I4ve in Hope.
The -whole body ot teachers.
Although the taxpayers' meeting last
December proxided for an Increase In the
salaries of teachers in the public schools
of this city and a so-called "merit sys
tem" has since been adopted for the al
leged purpose of enforcing this idea, it
does not look to the teachers as If there
are any immediate prospects for the
wishes of the taxpayers to be carried out.
General Indignation prevails among the
teaching corps in consequence of this con
dition of affairs, and unless the Board of
Education takes steps soon to relieve the
situation, there la no telling what might
happen.
The School Board held a meeting last
night, but nothing was done, the excuse
prevailing that a full board was not
present. Whenever all the directors are
on hand, so say the teacher, the issuo
is dodged in some other way, so far as
the subordinate departments are con
cerned; but whenever an Increase is re
quired by some person who does not need
it half so badly as some of the graded
teachers, it Is charged that the directors
are there with bells.
This sort of frenzied finance is becom
ing decidedly wearing on the nerves of
the long-suffering teachers, and they are
crying for a change. The taxpayers
meeting of December 19, 1904, recom
mended and provided funds for a general
Increase in teachers' salaries.
The Board of Educatlori adopted a rule,
however, fixing the maximum for salaries
in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth grades
at $7(K); in the second and third grades
at $650, and In the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades at $750, and tacked on the
proviso that in order to receive the maxi
mum salary of her grade, a teacher must
hold a life diploma granted by the City
of Portland or by the State Qt Oregon,
and must do satisfactory work.
"In addition td the maximum salaries,"
said Superintendent Frank Rlgler yester
day, "the Board adopted a rule provid
ing for a merit system, and a committee, J
consisting of Professor T. T. Davis, prin
cipal "of the High School; J. T. Gregg,
principal of the Hawthorne School; J.
Burnham, principal of the Couch School
the last two elected by the other prin
cipalsand myself, was appointed to de
termine the degree of satisfaction in the
work of the teachers, while the board
itself was to determine the worth of the
principals along the same lines.
"This commission has performed Its
duties, and has had a report ready for
several months, embracing a list of teach
ers who have been recommended as en
titled to come within the provisions of
the merit system. We have not submit
ted this report yet. because It seemed
doubtful whether the board intended to
put .the merit system Into effect. It will
probably be done at the next regular
meeting, when there is a full board
present."
Superintendent Rlgler would give no
intimation concerning the extent -of the
report, except to indicate that It affected
the salaries of fully '300 of the city teach
ers. He admitted, also that his own
salary, as well as that of Principal Da
vis, of the High School, Superintendent
of Physical Training Krohn, Miss Ethel
Allen, the Superintendent's clerk; Anna
E. Kngx, supervisor of drawing, and Mrs.
Evans, assistant supervisor of drawing,
was' Increased by direct vote of the City
Board of Education.
And In the meantime, there Is wailing
and gnashing of teeth among the sub
ordinate teachers, who in this particular
respect of waiting for their Increase in
salaries, bear a striking resemblance to
the poor, deluded Aztecs, who for cen
turies kept fires burning awaiting the
comjng of Montezuma.
MAPS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Government Grants Temporary Cus
tody to Board of Education.
It was announced at the meeting of the
City Board of Education last night that
the Government had temporarily given
the local school department the custody
of quite a number of valuable and inter-,
esting maps, pictures and documents,
forming a part of the exhibit of the
General Land Ofllce at the late Exposi
tion. Included therein were a set of pictures
representing the "evolution of the book,"
namely. "The Cairn," "Oral Traditions,"
"Egyptian Hieroglyphics," "Picture
Writing," "Manuscript Book;' and
"Printing Press."
The maps embrace one large map of
the United States, IS feet 8 Inches in
width by 16 feeUhlgh, worth $1500, and
said to be the largest map of this country
in existence; two maps of Mexico, two of
Nicaragua, one of Costa Rica, two of
Guatemala and one of Bolivia.
In addition, H. A. Schmohi. who has
had charge of the staff construction of
the Government building in the Fair
grounds, appeared before the board and
stated that the Government had made
an outright donation to the public schools
of this city of the four immense memorial
tablets standing in the corridors of the
main structures. Two will be installed
in each of the High Sohool buildings.
These tablets are 13 feet high by 6 feet 6
Inches wide, including frames.
Miss Edith Lelper was elected a teach
er in the second grade of the Williams
Avenue School.
Twenty applications were received from
outside students for free admission to
the High School. They were referred to
a committee, as it is probable, on account
of the crowded condition of the Institu
tion, that a charge of $10 a quarter may

E. A. Bigelow. representing the E. How
ard Clock Company, appeared before the
board with a proposal to Install a system
of clocks for the two High Schools at a
cost approximately of $3700 for complete
outfits,tut Director Williams objected on
the ground that the board had no legal
right to enter into any contract Involving
an expenditure of more than $500 without
inviting competition. Further considera
tion of the matter was postponed until ail
the directors were present, both Flelsch-
ner and Wittenberg being absent from
the proceedings last night.

VACATION OP STREETS.
Large Modern Plant "Will Rise on

For nearly two hours last night the St.

ined the records to ascertain if there
were any streets left to vacate on the
Water front, where a big sawmill, to
take the place of the two email ones re
cently destroyed by fire, will be built.
The new combination, with a capital
stock of $109,000, proposes to put up one of
the largest modern plants of the many

get continuous land on which to con
struct the buildings. The maps examined
show that not so very many of the
streets on the water front are left, but
the Council wants, to encourage thin new
concern that has already started to clear
away the debrlr, preparatory to starting
work on the large plant. The Council
will doubtlen? comply with its request
for street vacation as soon ny the situa

BAGS WITH DUCKS.
First Good Day Since Opening of the
Season Is Marked by Shoot
ing to the Limit.
Duck hunters had a good day's sport
Sunday, for there were plenty of ducks In
evidence and nearly all the members of
the various clubs having preserves along
the Columbia and Willamette rivers re
turned with limit bags, and were kept
busy yesterday distributing birds among
their friends.
This was the first good shoot that has
rewarded the weekly trips of the sports
men since the season opened, and many
of them killed the limit before 8 o'clock
in the horning, after which they turned
their attention to snipe and pheasants.
It was a jolly crowd that came up on
the "hunters' special" Sunday night, each
man regaling his neighbors with tales of
his prowess at the favorite sport.
Among the sportsmen who returned
with limit bagf were George Lelthoff. A.

Some Seasonable Advice.
It may be a piece of superfluous advice
to urge people at this season of the year
to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's Cough

before Winter Is over, and much mor-e
prompt and satisfactory results are ob
tained when taken as soon as a cold Is
contracted and before It has become set

done by keeping the remedy at hand. This

Events In Ills Career.
"Virgil W. Earp, brother of Wyatt Earp
of Sharkey-FItzsimmons-fight fame, and
a man with a record of his own, is in
Portland enjoying a reunion with his first
wife and hbr only daughter, neither of
whom he has seen for 30 yeara. The
wife Is now the widow of the late Thomas

old and she was still younger. The par
ents of both young people strenuously
opposed the match the girl's parents be
cause they did not want their daughter,
who was a native of Holland, to marry
Into an American family; Earp's because
he was too young. So the wedding was
kept secret, the couple got only an oc
casional opportunity to see each other,
and not till the birth of their daughter
did they "make their union known. Then
there was trouble on both sides of the
house, which, however, was soon stilled
by the enlistment of Earp in the Civil
War, when his child was two weeks old,
and his Immediate departure for the
front.
"His young wife was left with her par
ents, who continually urged her to secure
a divorce from her husband, and who
finally took It upon themselves to declare
the union at an end. Soon word was re
ceived that Earp was wounded, then that
he was dead, and his: wife had no reason
to doubt either report. With her parents,
she came West, bringing her child, and
In 1K7 she married Thomas Eaton at

"In the meantime Earp returned to his

friends that she had married again, and

he could do was to keep out of her way.

was nothing in the story about Earp's
death, but under the circumstances she
was not especially eagei; to renew the
acquaintance. Even when she found that
he had been keeping himself Informed In
a general way of the welfare of herself
and that of his daughter, there was no

Mrs. Earp to care for. made no effort
to restore the first wife to his fireside.
Had circumstances been such that this
was entirely agreeable, he was not at all
sure that she still cared for him.

about by the recent illness of Earp's

he was drinking with Sasaki and Kasa
oka. nothing suspicious Is attached to
his movements. He Is thought, though,
to know something of the movements
of Kasaoka after the stabbing-, and it?
being held on the supposition that he
will divulge information leading to
Kasaoka's arrest.
Following the stabbing Kasaoka ran
to a Japanese restaurant, but following
that nothing, so far as known, has been
seen or heard of him. A valuable half
hour, which would give a criminal of
the acuteness which Kasaoka is
known to possess, plenty of time to
escape, was lost before the police were
notified of the stabbing. Sasaki, after
his Jugular vein was cut, his abdomen
punctured, and numerous other wounds
hnd been Inflicted upon the body, suc
ceeded In crawling to a Japanese pool
room nt S2 North Third street, where
he staggered through the door, made
known the name of his assailant and
then became unconscious. Loss ot
blood caused his death a few hours
later. A physician was summoned and
a half hour later someone thought of
Kasaoka and. the police were notified.
Detectives Day and Vaughn made an
effort to locate the murderer at 4
o'clock yesterday morning and worked
on the case all day yesterday with
the assistance of friends of Sasaki, but
Kasaoka could not be found. The de
tectives have reached the end of the
rope as far as they are concerned, hav
ing gathered all the evidence that Is
obtainable. It now rests with chance
and the Japanese of Portland to pro
duce the criminal.

By Overwork.
" Before I began to take Dr. Williams
Pink Pills' said Mrs. Mary- Renfmn.
of 20. 86 Kilbnrn street, Fall River,
Mass., recently, " I was in and out of
bed all the time, but now I stay up all
day and do all my own work.
"I was badly run down from over
work. One day noises began iu my head
and almost made me crazy. My head
felt as if a tight baud had been put
aronnd it, and the pressure and the
sounds made me so uneasy that I often
had to walk the floor all night when I
should have been sleeping.
" My stomach was in bad shape, and I
had smothering sensations. At such
tiroes my body seemed bloodless, my
hands were like chalk and my face
turned yellow. The doctor said I had
dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my
nerves gave way and I was completely
prostrated. At night I could not sleep,
and in the daytime if I bent over to
pick np a rug the smothering socsatioa.
would come on at ouce.
"Tho first box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that I nsed quieted my nervea
so that I could get a good night's
sleep, which, was a new experience for
me. Before I began to use them I was
a nervous wreck and trembled at the
slightest sound. I was so weak that I
had to sit down and rest every few steps
when I went np stairs. Now I can run
up a whole flight at once. Tho smother
ing sensations have gone and the noises
in my head bavo stopped entirely. My
appearance has greatly improved, for
friends who were alarmed on my ac
count before, now say: How well you
are looking !' My husband spent over &
hundred dollars on treatment for me thac
was worthless, but a few boxes of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills brought me sound
health."
