Is to be made next week on a plan devised by City School Superintendent Thor darson. Tuesday and Thursday af ternoons will be given over to in vestigations, Wednesday and Friday afternoon reports In assembly will be made, and Thursday afternoon will be devoted to a trip of all class es to tha sawmills. Each student will be given a definite assignment, and must report In writing. "The Idea of the survey," Mr. Thordarson explains, "is to use the local environment as a laboratory, and to furnish the students first-hand observation and personal experience upon which, to base his reasoning, and to apply the theories he has gleaned from his books. The different lines of local activ ity have been carefully divided, in order to avoid duplication by the various classes. Students under Principal Eric Bolt will report on the city and county governments, and the laundries; Mrs. Francis' pupils will have libraries, cburches, Sunday schools, hospitals and .the cost of living; those taking Vork under Miss Manning will report on the electric power plant, tho ice plant, the creani ory. and the scenery of Bend and its environs, and Mr. Francis' students will have the business districts, the foundry, the postoffice, railroads, and labor unions; classes under Miss Penn will inspect the greenhouses, news papers, and the flour and alfalfa milla; those registered under Miss Lorcnce will have society, lodges, schools and candy nianufncturies, while Mr. Thordarson's students will report on a plat of the city, real es tate, hotels, and cafes. HAS HIS HONOR RE SIGNED, OR NOT? JiiiIko Springer, of I'rook County, Re ported Still on Job May Be Unwilling to Quit. PRINEVILLE, March 2.-r-(Spec-lal.) Last week it was generally understood that County Judge Springer had forwarded his resigna tion to the Governor. Then It was stated that ho had expressed to the chief executive his willingness to re sign, if a certain person was named as his successor. Now, however, It Is currently ro portod that ho hasn't roslgnod at all, and mny not do so, unless he and htB friends got advnnco assurance that the judge who succeeds him will be the one of tholr own particular choice. Just who that choice Is, also remains a matter of doubt. Anyway, Sprlngor' agreed to re sign at a mooting Inst Saturday, when ho was oponly reminded that if ho didn't quit voluntarily,-, he probably would be given opportunity to do bo via tho recall routo. At that timo tho Judge took the hint readily, but subsequently It appears that he may havo weakened, BEND S 4 H ffsO This decision of the British authorities will add greatly to tha Importance of tha port at Halifax.

ADDED APPLICATIONS CREATE DEMAND FOR THOUSANDS MORE CATTLE AND SHEEP THAN RANGE CAN HANDLE. The steady growth of the livestock Industry In Central Oregon Is shown In a report Issued from the office of Supervisor W. G. Hastings today, following the closing of the time limit last night, set for the filing of applications. for grazing permits. Un less most excellent reasons are given by stockmen, explaining their delay in applying, no more requests for permits wilt be granted this season. During the grazing season of 1916 4067 head of cattle and horses, the property of 72 permittees, grazed on the national forest. This year, 62 of the former range UBera have applied for permission to graze 4961 head. Only two of the former permittees have gone out of business, three have consolidated their interest with other stockmen, and are still represented in co-partnerships, and four have not yet reapplied, for unknown reasons. In addition to former users,27 Jiew applications have come In asking range for 1530 bead of stock. As the carrying capacity of the Deschutes forest is 5500 head, applications for 991 head will have to be denied. Countrary to popular belief, the sheep business In the Central Oregon section Is also showing signs of much greater activity.,. During the season of 1916, a total of 19 permittees used range wholly within the Deschutes forest, or under inter-forest permits. The records for this year show that 27 applicants are listed for range privileges .and that they represent a total of 61,800 head of sheep. With the carrying capacity of the sheep range estimated at 40,200, a little more than one-fifth of the animals applied for will be denied admission into the forest.

That the Crook County High School will be serloualy crippled as a result of the division of the county whereby Deschutes was formed, is reported from Prineville. Already plans are being considered, accord ing to reports from the old county seat, to dismiss somo of the teachers at the end of the present term, and to put other economies into effect. The Crook County High School has been supported by the proceeds of a tax levy in the , greater part of Crook county, as it existed before it began to be. cut up by division movements two ' years ago. . When Jefforson was cut off, the revenue was reduced, but .it was still possible to make ends meet during the follow ing two years. Now Deschutes Is formed and the taxable value ot Crook county reducod to little over' 'a third of what it was three years, ago. . ' . . . In view of this situation, one of two things has been decided to be necessary. Either the teaching force must be reduced, or a higher tax paid for the support of the school by Crook county, as It exists today.- At no time In. tho past has tho number ot students from the sec tions outside the present Crook coun ty been more than 10. or a doien, although practically all have been -paying the tax. Now the territory from which the students come must piy for their schooling or allow .a reau-Ulon In the number ot subjocU j tnughv '. ' :' ' YAUHLE GAPTIVES TO 00 COUNTY 16 AFFECTED
