City Superintendent L. It. Traver
haa now completed the work of ar
ranging the counts of study for the
high nchool, and haa also assigned
the subjects to be taught by the dif
ferent members of the high school
faculay. As may be seen from an
examination of the courses given be
low they differ considerably from
what they have been In the past. The
addition of the commercial course Is
the most Important change made, and
It Is believed to be one that will
greatly add to the usefulness of the
school. As is done In most of the
leading schools having such work, the
course Is made to cover four years,
and it is said that when a student
completes the work he will have a
thorough and efficient business train
ing. The college preparatory course,
which Is about the same as In the
past, is designed to fit students for
entrance to any of the universities or
colleges, and does so. While only a
rather sninll percentage of the stu
dents do pursue their studies beyond
the high school, it is considered nec
essary to have this course so as to
prepare them for admittance should
they desire It. l!y having the two
coarsen and the optional work it is
possible to provide satisfactory cour
ses for all students, and to give them
thorough work along the lines they
wish. Thoroughness according to the
new city superintendent, will be the
motto In ull of the school work.

CONTESTANTS WIN.
Decisions Received In Two Ijind Con
tent Cases.
Decisions have been received here
in three contest cases that were tried
In Commissioner Parkes' court some
time ago, and In which there has been
been considerable interest manifested.
In all three Instances the decisions
were favorable to the contestants, and
It was held thnt the contestees had
not complied with the rules requiring
continuous residence upon their
claims.
The cases at Issue, and In which the
decisions have been received from the
land office at La Grande, are as fol
lows: L. P. Watson vs. Eugene I,. Smith,
Involving H. E. No. 9850 for the
northeast quarter of section 17, town
ship 4, north of range 31. In this
case the land officials held that the
evidence of the contcstce alone would
have been sufficient to have caused
the canceling of his entry.
The other cases were those brought
by O. E. Mortamer and G. W. Mor
tamer against Catherine Duncan and
Fannie Duncan, respectively. These
suits Involved the northwest quarter
of section 35 and the northeast quar
tei of the same section, both being in
township 4, north of range 30, E. W.
M.
The opinion of the register and re
ceiver was that It had been shown the
contestees had not lived upon their
claims according to the requirements
of the law, and consequently their en-
trief were recommended for cancella -
ton.
The firm of Winter & Collier con
ducted all of the cases for the con
testants. Typhoon ut Shanghai.

OF
J YIELDS
Buyers Vary From 4,000,000
to 5,000,000 Bushels for
1905 Crop in Umatilla.
NEARLY THE ENTHtE CROP
IS NOW IN SACKS.
Below is Given tho Estimated Yields
of Many of the Heaviest Growers
of the County, Which Range From
10.000 to 40,000 Bushels The Lo
cal Market Has Been Steady and
Conservative This Season, Though
It Is Probable That Upwards of Half
the Crop Has Already Been DIs
ixiscd of Market Has Ileen More
Spirited During the Past Week.
There is now but little harvesting
yet to be done in Umatilla county,
and It Is said that nt sundown this
evening the hulk of the crop will be in
sacks. Another week will see almost
i.the complete finish of the
1 even in the latest portions
harvest,
of the
county.
i With the season drawing to a close
j it Is now possible for brokers to make
very dose estimates of tne yield for
this year, for practically all of the
farmers have reported. The concen
sus of opinion among the local grain
dealers Is that the crop for this sea
son, If accurately computed, would
make approximately 4,500.000, though
'ijimt plnee It between that figure and
the 5.000.000 mark, while others hold
that It is but 4.000,000. In the judg
ment of E. W. McComas and of T.
G. Montgomery. It Is 4. BOO. 000, while
A. L. Knight places it somewhere be
tween thnt figure and 5.000,000. Wil
liam Moore believes It is 4.000,000,
while Frank Curl places the yield at
4.000.000 bushels.
Within the past few weeks wheat
raisers from all over the county have
hcen consulting witn buyers regarding
the sale of their crops, and In this
manner the Individual yields have
been learned. While it is impossible
to secure these with absolute accuracy
the following shows the estimated
yields of many of tho largest growers
of the county:

While the sale of wheat this sum
mer has been slow and steady. It Is
evidence that considerable of the crop
has been disposed of. though the
market In general has been quiet. Tn
the opinion of E. W. McComas over
2.000.000 bushels have now been sold.
Quite a little wheat has been sold
during the past week, whllo the price
for club has been 57 cents in the local
mnrkct.
A string of Trouble.
Senator Pierce has had troubles of
his own this week first a narrow es
cape of the Hot Ijike property from
fire, then a similar experience at the
Cove power house; then a man killed
on the electric line Monday. "Trou
bles never come singly," It Is said,
and the above events seem to verify
the statement.- Union Republican.
