pends largely upon the readiness of
the fireman to respond to any call

ger The value of fire insurance de
pends largely upon the readiness of

ready for work. They pay promptly

ALBERT A NKKHS TEACHERS.
American Teachers Arc
mittcd.
to lie Ad-
Edmonton, Alta., Feb. 2. Six
hundred qualified teachers are re
quired to fill existing vacancies' in
the public schools of Alberta. The
need is so pressing on account of
the rapidly changing conditions
throughout the province that the
school inspectors have recommended
a modification of p'esent regulations
to admit American teachers under
certain conditions. These recom
mendations are being considered by
Hon. J. R. Boyle, minister of educa
tion, who said today:
"The department found it neces
sary last year to issue permits to 400
teachers to enable them to take up
schools. Some of them had no qual
ifications. We have also allowed
teachers from other provinces in
Canada and from Great Britain to
take schools, though their standards
were not as nigti as our require
ments; but it was thought to be bet
ter to keep the schools open than to
have the pupils deprived of all edu
cational facilities. Under the pres
ent system Americans, no matter
how well qualified, cannot teach in
Alberta."
Mr. Boyle said that after consid
ering the matter from every stand
point most of the inspectors reached
the conclusion that Americans, hold
ing degrees from reputable universi
ties and with academic standing as
high as those of properly qualified
teachers in Alberta, should be al
lowed to teach in Alberta schools,
after passing examinations in Can
adian civics and Canadian and Brit
ish history.
"The recommendations were made
by practical men who are on the
ground," the minister added. "They
are familiar with the needs and re
quirements in educational matters in
this growing country."

DENIES REQUEST POH A RAISE.
Recorder Volxlg Declare Tribune
Statement Without Foundation.
To the Editor: On the 28th an
editorial in the Mail Tribune, enti
tled "Trying to Get Their Salaries
Rained," stated that the county re-1
corder was attempting to "raid" the!
county treasury by trying to get his
salary raised through the legisla-i
ture. I
1 want to state right here that I i
can Trove by every member of the
legislature that the statement is ab
solutely without foundation.
It was stated in the same article
that in 1912 the recorder's office
cost the taxpayers $650 for extra
deputy hire. Beforo I go any farther
I will give you a statement of what
the recorder's office did in 1912:
We filed and recorded 6,767 in
struments. Collected and paid into tho treas
ury $6,531.
Paid out for salaries and deputy
hire, $3,550.
Leaving a net lalance of nearly
$3,000 clear money, which we paid
Into the treasury. So you see the
office is more than self-sustaining,
and I can prove by any person who
has any buniness with the office that
it would be absolutely Impossible to
conduct the office and keep the bus
iness up to date, the way it has been
kept, with a smaller force than we
have at the present time.
On January 29 in the Mail Trib
une there appeared an article writ
en by Commissioner Con Leever
stating that we should turn over all
fees collected for certified copies to
the county treasurer. In regard to
this matter, will state that if Mr.
Leever will look in Vol. 2, Section
3096, of Lo-d's Laws of Oregon, he
will find that "the county recorder
shall make certified copies of the
records when required, and charge a
fee for same, which is not to be
turned over to the county treasurer,
but is to be kept by the recorder as
his own."
Iwant also to state that the coun
ty court would do well to spend a
little more thought in regard to the
preservation of the records of Jack
son county and direct their energies
in that direction, as they have been
warned by the grand jury that the
vault is not fireproof and that he
will Jose every record in Jackson
county if he should have a fire, in
stead of spending fao much time dis
cussing the proposition as to whether
I should have have one extra deputy
or not.
You know, the clerk has four ex
tra deputies, the sheriff one extra
the assessor two extras, all sanc
tioned by the county court.
Hoping this explanation will be
sufficient for the present,
FRED L. COLVIG,
County Recorder.
SEMI-CENTENNIAL,
Catholics to Celebrate Opening of
SHkane Mission.
Father Joseph Cnruana, first Cath
olic missionary among the Indians
of the Pacific northwest and recog
nized as the founder of that faith in
what was then known as Oregon,
will be the central figure in the cel
ebration at Spokane this fall of the
fiftieth anniversary of the planting
of the Catholic faith in this part of
the country.
Fifty years ago, on October 10,
1 8 J 3 . Father Caruana baptized 75
Indian children and five adults, al!
members of the Coeur d'Alene tribe,
the baptism being held on the spot
where the Northern Pacific railway's
passenger station now stands in Spo
kane.
In this connection facts of impor-
tan -o to the history of this nn f of
r.ie country have been 'ied
''.roui;h an investigation by Faiher
George F. Weibel of Gonzaga Uni
versity. He learned that Father
Caruana, at the head of a band of
12 priests, found his way to the
Spokane river falls in the early '50s.
Father Weibel is authority for the
statement that thd first baptism of
Indians in the Pacific northwest was
conducted at the site of what is now
Spokane in October, 1863.
So far as is known here. Father
Caruana is the onl:' one of the band
of pioneer priests now living. After
completing his work with the tribes
around Spokane, he went' to De
Smct, Idaho, where he founded tho
first Catholic, mission in this part
of the country. The mission still
stands, and the nsed priest, known
to the Indians as Sosep and patri
arch priest of the tribe, is still the
leading spirit of the community. He
is 79 years old.
The president and faculty of Gon
zaga University, in Spokane, are now
planning a golden jubilee to com
memorate the planting of their faith
here, and Father Caruana will have
a large part to play in the ceremo
nies. A St. Louis man made $64,000 as
a rag picker.
