FAIR PAVILION IS
If,
CARPENTERS AND PAINTERS
ARE BUSILY AT WORK
Entire Interior of Wall Will be White
washedOther Improvements and
Changes to be Made Business Men
Urged to Brighten up Their Fronts.
The district fair pavilion is now in
the hands of the carpenters and painters.
The work of preparing the big
building for the fair was started about
ten days earlier than usual this year
and it is expected that with this start
no difficulty will be experienced in
having everything In complete readi
ness by the time the doors are swung
open, Monday afternoon, . Sept. 26.
The entire inside of the pavilion is
to be whitewashed, thereby greatly
improving the appearance and mak-
ng the work of Inside decoration
much easier. Many other improve
ments and changes are also to be
made. An awning is now beinr out
p in front of the corner occupied by
the office.
The committee which has in charge
the matter of street decorations Is al
so at work and expects soon to com
plete the details of the decoration
scheme. When these details are
worked out it is believed that it will
be found a plan has been evolved
which will add greatly to the ap
pearance of the city during fair week.
Local merchants and property hold
ers are also taking kindly to the sug
gestion that every business front in
the city of Pendleton be brightened
up. Some of the business men have
already painted the fronts of their
buildings and it is believed that the
remainder will follow the example
which has been set.
PAYETTE VALLEY HAS
A BIG FRUIT CROP
Payette, Idaho. According to esti
mates given out by the big orchard
men and the managers of the large
packing houses, 450 can of winter
apples will be shipped from this point
and 150 cars of prunes. This is a
very conservative estimate, and the
shipments may exceed, hat number,
The question of securing help Is a
most serious one, but the women of
the valley can always be depended
upon to lend their assistance in times
of need, and many who do not as a
rule work In the orchards and pack
ing houses will do so this year. This
means that many thousands of dollars
will be returned to the growers' wives
and daughters which would otherwise
be paid out to help, which in many
cases Is most Incompetent, although
demanding 12.25 and $2 50 per day.

ACKERMAX SHOWS GREAT
GROWTH OF SCHOOL SYSTEM
Salem, Or. Superintendent J. H.
Ackerman has completed his state
ment showing the growth and devel
opment of the public school system
in Oregon during the past year. The
showing is a remarkable one. While
the expenditures for school purposes
for the school year of 1908-9 were
$4,236,525.64, the expenditures for the
school year closing June 80, 1910.
were $5,062,580.87. The receipts for
the former period were $5,334,883.83,
while for the school year of 1909-10
the receipts were $6,378,508.20.
During the school year Just closed
$2,299,689.42 was expended for teach
ers' wages and $1,280,365,62 was ex
pended for new buildings and sites.
The value of school buildings and sites
In this state is $7,832,219 99, covered
by insurance amounting to $3,421
407.35. The average monthly salarv
of male teachers increased last year
over tne previous years from $69.25 to
$73.53, and the average monthly sal
ary of female teachers from $51.15 to
$55.04. The average salary of nrincl
pals In buildings of more than one
room Increased from $87.03 to $91.22,
and the monthly salary of teachers in
one - room, buildings increased from
$50.15 to $53.44. The average annual
saiary or city superintendents . in
creased from $1,615.88 to $1665.
me enumeration of children of
school age from 4 to 20 years, taken
November 25, 1909, showed the dod
ulation of school children In this state
to be lil,742 of which 87,609 were
males and 84,133 were females. The
census of the year previous gave 166,
649, an increase for the year of 609S
The enrollment shows a corresponding
increase. For the school year lust
closed the enrollment was 118,322, of
wnich 69,545 were males and 58,777
were females. The enrollment for the
previous year waa 114464. There
were employed last year in Oregon's
public schools 4734 teachers, of which
922 were males and 3812 were fe
males. The number employed the pre
previous year was 445$. Last year
5109 eighth grade diplomas were Is
sued in Oregon and the year previous
but 3174. The decrease in district
school taxes due to Increased earnings
of school funds and despite larger ex
penses of a growing public school sys

the levy was 3.52 mills, as against 4.

lieres signed a reprieve, and Graby'g
death sentence was transmuted to life
Imprisonment.
The sensational murder of Madame
Gouln came shortly after the Steln
heil case caused a furore throughout
FjTance. At the outset there were no
clues, and the authorities admitted
tnemseives Darned until passengers
upon the train recalled that they had
seen two French soldiers In uniform,
who had acted suspiciously, leave the
train.
The degradation of Graby and
Michael before their regiment took
place recently. It was a solemn scene.
. One of the interesting school fetes
recently was the distribution of cer
tificates of progress and capacity at
the City of Paris Technical School for
Girls. It is strictly a school for
"trades and housekeeping," and is in
the Rue Fondary. To enter it a girl
must have gone through the whole
primary course at a communal school.
The age limits are from 18 to 15, and
the pupil leaves at the end of the
third year. The great houses of busi
ness show a keen Interest In their
work, and generosity by sending ma
terials for them to work upon. The
competition among them to secure the
services of graduates is keen also.
Some girls have entered on schol
arships given by the city. Others pay
fees. A great number, aa deservlnir !
pupils at primary schools, are receiv
ed because they are poor and good
girls. The directress alone knows of
the poverty of their families. All the
girls take turns in the kitchen in pre
paring the mid-day meal, which is for
the whole school. Thev also take
turns in helping the "housekeepers'
to tidy up. There are eight trades di
visions namely, modes, artificial
flowers and feather mounting, chil
dren's dresses, embroidery of tissues
for wearing apparel and furniture,
corsets, ladles' vests and Jackets, Un
gerie, clear starching and fine iron
ing.
All the housekeepers practice plain
sewing, mending and darning.

AMERICAN SUPPLY CO.,

Spokane, Wash. Recognizing the
Importance of the Industry in the box
apple states and placing its stamp of
approval upon the enterprise, the
Chicago Association of Commerce, in
the name of Its Northwest Pacific
coast trade extension delegation, has
presented a massive sliver trophy cup
suitably engraved, to the National
Apple Show. Inc., for award to the
best packed carload of apples exhibit
ed In Spokane, November 14 to 19.
"We believe that by offering the
Chicago trophy to the carload scor
ing highest on pack the competition
for the $1,000 prize will be keener
than under any other condition," said
Ren H. Rice, secretary and manager
ot the National Apple Show. "While
climate, soil, sunshine and moisture
are, of course, the chief factors In ap
ple growing, we believe that when an
exhibitor receives a prize because his
apples are packed better than all
others, he wins personal recognition
fir his skill and knowledge.
