Interesting Program Rendered.
A local teachers' Institute for the
territory Included in Athena, Weston,
Adams and Helix was held today at
Helix under the direction of Superin
tendent Prank K. Welles.
A large number of teachers from
the district affected was present and
been elected In one or more places
and the district will be disappointed.
On the other hand, this practice is
bad for the teachers themselves. The
impression goes out that the country
is full of teachers. Suppose that every
teacher in Umatilla county should
make application for 10 different
places; there would apparently be
something like 1500 or 2000 teach
ers in the county, when in reality
there are Just about enough to fill
the schools, and none to spare.
This way of securing schools also
hurts teachers' salaries. As there
appears to be so many more teachers
than there really are, boards of di
rectors naturally take advantage of
what they believe to be an over sup
ply of teachers, and expect to get
teachers correspondingly cheap.
The fault in this system does not
lie wholly with the teachers, however,

time early in the year for employing
teachers, and then make a contract

ing for several schools at one time

I know there are many teachers
who do not moke applications pro
miscuously over the county, who do
not think it right to do so. Whether
I It Is Justifiable or not, if you have
applied for more than one school, and
secured a place you should lmmedl
ately notify all of the other schools
for which you have applied that you
are engaged: that you have signed a
contract with some district so that
they will nt be depending any longer
upon you.
This rul Win aiso apply when yoU'
make application to vie for a school.
It is true that many of these things
can be learned through correspond
ence, but I think by far the better
way to secure a school is to make a
personal application.
I think your chances of securing
the place are very much better if you

Last night Jeff Stevens, night po
ltceman, had an exciting fight with
gang of drunken Indians in the rear
of the Bowman hotel. While attempt'
Ing to make an arrest the officer was
attacked by the gang, and in the scuf

considerable vigor. However, he was
victorious and succeeded In landing
two of the gang in Jail.
This morning when the two, both

eads showed the effects of Officer
Stevens' work. They were each given
5 or three days.
According to the story told by the
Indians they secured whiskey through
hlte men, whom they described as
being vagrants, immediately after the
& C. R. train came In yesterday.
As the white men were evidently
transients, it is a difficult matter to
catch them, though it is known that
the same practice has been Indulged
In considerably of late.

Four Helix Farmers Invent In Over
3700 Acres.
The party of Helix farmers who
went to northern Texas some two
weeks ago, have returned and are all
well pleased with the land there,
which is evidenced by the fact that
each made a purchase. Mr. McAlvoy
bought 1920 acres, Mr. Tlmmerman
600 acres, F. H. Richmond 640,
Elmer Richmond, 640, paying J6 per
acre and up.
They say no boom has started there
yet, but there will surely be one this
summer, and land Is steadily advanc
ing In price.
