HIGHER SALARIES FOR
TEACHERS.
rONTRACTS already filed show
' that the teachers of Umatilla
county will be paid during the
coming year about 1 S per cent
higher salaries on the arerage than
last yesr, when they were nearly as
much higher than the year before.
HE QUESTION of putting in That Is, in two years the arerage

If n trlrw sitiif rvAvVt o nai f 1i At
points along the Columbia river, and
In some Instances the project is tak
lug definite shape and will doubtless
be carried .'out This will enable
shippers from those towns to ship
. by the. river as well as by the rail
route which It may be reasonably
expected' wOT bedohethls fall lo a
grester extent than heretofore. Every
shipping point of consequence along
the. river should provide this con
' Tenlence,' not only lor the shipment
of products by steamers, but also
to be prepared to accommodate the
constantly increasing tourist travel,
most tourists preferring the water
route so that they can the better see
the splendid scenery along the Co-
lumbla. .
, t- Above celllo the conditions are
; less favorable for shipping grain and
'other. products, yet the shippers up
there should keep In mind the fact
that .the river, even though only
partly open, can be and should be
- made a powerful factor In regulat
. Jng rail rates, and the river should
be used whenever practicable. This
should be done5 also because If
large volume of products Is shipped
over the state portage road, the gov
ernment will be the sooner ready
and 'willing to prosecute the work
of constructing the Celllo canal,
i which eventually will bring the great
measure of relief to the people east
of the mountains that they desire
and deserve. What is needed Is that
congress put this work next winter
' on the continuing contract basis, as
has been done with the jetty at the
mouth of .the river, ; Under this plan
the Celllt canal could be completed
In three years, and then, at last, the
Columbia river would be practically
1 free and open for hundreds of miles.
The more stuff that is sent over the
portage road and by boats, the more
will congress be Impressed with the
; need of pushing this work to com
pletion. ; In the meantime the portage road
: should be completed Into The Dalles.
The last legislature would-" have
authorised this except that Senator

, killed because of his opposition to
something else the result of a legls

Dalles have been talking of doing
, the Job, but It looks rather large to
'. them. .
- But If the people will give the
Open River boat line a cordial and
liberal support, and In every way
Bhow their good will towards It, this
extension will soon be made, and the
; canal will be pushed. The people
up the river can help themselves

This Is an Inevitable movement

Bell From the Sea.
From the Scotsman.
Probably very few people are aware
that an old ship's bell which for many
years has lain under the sea is sus
pended In the underwriting room at
Lloyd's and Is used to "announce" the
arrival or'other news received In respect
of overdue ships.
This is the bell of the- frigate Lu-
tine, wrecked long ago on tne juutcn
coast. After being under the water for
yeara the bell waa aalved and now,
strangely enough. Is employed to In
form underwriters that something has
been heard of one of those ahlps which
by their protracted passages are causing
uneasiness.
Not every ship that Is on the over
due market Is announced In thia manner.
It Is only when an underwriter has
expressed to the committee bis desire
for immediate information in respect
to this or that overdue vessel that the
note of the old black bell, rings through
the rooms.
At the present time there are eleven
ahlps down on the list for announce
ment by the' Lutlne bell, but some of
tnese ae ao nopeiessiy overdue tnat
It la practically certain nothing further
will be heard of them. The Dig steel
bark Alsternlxe, for instance, heads
the list. She was formerly the British
ship Lord Templemore and was built
at Belfast In 1892. Thia ahlp has not
been heard of since last November, when
she sailed from Callao for Australia. -
