One little girl who wanted to raise onions but was afraid they would not ripen here in time, will take part in the ciphering. She is glad that it does not require days of sunshine but days of practice to acquire perfection and rapidity in her work. Goad reports come daily from the flower beds. Minnie Price, Teacher.

One of the girls, who is very quick in ci phering, will participate in that contest and will surely win some laurels for the Summ.it school. Several of the girls have decided to enter the contest for bread making, also the hand work in sewing. We are all going to put forth our very best efforts for one ! of the best exhibits, and sincere- ly hope to win some of the honors j presented to the pupils of this county. Very respectfally, j Belle K. Mattley, Teacher, j District No. 41, Alsea. j Interest in the' All Benton Fair 'is being taken aniong the parents iand pupils of District No. 41 ot ' Alsea.

The bovs are raising vegetables while the girls are taking more interest in the cook ing and sewing departments. The following pupils are expecting to, take part: Fredie Tharp, Vera Tharp, Harry Tharp. Mabel Tharp, Minnie Shough, M.ae Banton, Elsa Banton, Leora WreB, Bennie Wren, Eva Wren, CVadvs Rvcraft. and Maud Ry- cr alt. mach Ihis Fair means very to Benton county, and I the parents should take more interest in the work of their children. No better material ex ists than that of D. strict No. 41, and i. the children have a little encouragement, it is no telling how much will he done, and how many ppz with ease. points to bejtt.iln ease Alsea is noted for the 'fertility of her soil, and she will not be far from the prize win ner.

I think the All Benton School Fair promises to be a big thing tor Benton county. It has been my great pleasure to talk with my pupils concerning the Fair for the past tour months, and I hope that I may have the privi lege of seeing some of my pupils carry off some of the grand prizes that are to be given away. They have told me how they made their garden beds, how they pie pared the ground, what seeds each used, how they planted their seeds, and now how they are car ing for them. They each think surely, they can get a prize of some kind at the All Benton School Fair. Very Truly, Ytle Hash, Teacher, District No. 33.

Very Truly, Julia M. duMoulin, Teacher. In the next issue will appear reports from the Corvallis Public Schools. Sup' t Denmaa informs us that some of the teachers have not reported to him up to the present time. If these teachers desire to have their rooms includ ed with the other reports of the city and county there isno time left for delay. The next list of reports will include all the re ports to be printed, so let every teacher in the Corvallis Schools who has not reported the work of their pupils do it at once. Send the reports to this office. This is the request of the. County School Superintendent. Editor. Successful Experiment. Oswald West, a member of toe Oregon railroad commission, has been in Corvallis the past few days, having came for the pur- vpose of witnessing a test that was made, Sunday, of an irrigating plant that has been installed at his hop house near this citv. The . 0 test was highly successful and those interested feel very much pleased over results. The water for the purpose is drawn from what is known as the "middle Williamette" by means of a large pump operated by a gasoline engine. This water is carried bv 8jo feet of flume to the hop yard, the high est point in the flume being six feet, which gives sufficient fall tor the purpose..- The present plaot is capable of furnishing 800 gallons of water per minute, and if the experiment proves that ir rigation is profitable aud feasible the capacity of the plant will be increased so that 1500 gallons oer miLiute will be available This vear Mr. West and Mr. Howell have rented an engine to: he experiment, but incase they cosjiinue irrigating, they will jurcba e their own equipment ind install a first class plant. The hop yard being experiment ed on contains 30 acies, and the result will be of great inte.est throughout the Willamette Val ley. ' .. V:. " APPROVES THE PLAN Of President Kerr Agricultural Short Course at OAC. The Portland Journal approves of the proposed short ' course for teachers, at OAC. Editorially it gives expressioa to its ideas as f dlows: Oregonians ought to know Oregon; bat they don't. They have a state that is, in itself, an empire. JSlo matter what crop they may ask their soil for, it will be produced. Even those who own the land do not grasp its full virtue and value. They do not know how 'he climate fits the soil, and what the matchless com bination is capable of. Thus, we import poultry products when we ought to export them. We im port hog products when we can produce them cheaper than any competitor. Indeed, we import a score of products of which we shonld be exporters. This means we have been lax in learning Oregon. We do not know the real, living facts about Oregon, and because of it we waste our substance. Because we do not ourselves know the truth about Oregon, we have a pop ulation of but half a million. If we knew all and told all the state's population would run in to millions. In agriculture allied crops alone we are a kingdom. We need not call the coal, gold, silver, copper and forests of our mountains in to review to realize our splendor. In agricultural lines we can grow any crap known to the temperate zone, and grow it perfectly. It is a strik ing fact.-nd ""oneof incompu table value. But how many Ore gonians know it? If they do not know it of what value are all these favored conditions? That is why the adoption of a textbook on agriculture for the pubic schools was a wise act. It is important that at least the children should know Oregon, even though their parents do not. They will be its citizens later, and molders of its destiny. If they learn of its soil, its crops and its fruitage, Oregon will come by and by, into her own. This makes timely the offer of President-Elect Kerr to give at the state agricultural college a short course in agriculture for the beue-fit of Oregon teachers. They know little or nothing of the subject, but are called on to teach it. Their effors wiil avail little with themselves unschool ed. The offer of laboratories, lectures and skilled instruction at Corvallis will helptbem to illum inate a subject of vital conse quence to Oregon and pave the way for Oregonians to compre hend Oregon. McFadden ''Got" Them. District Attorney W. S. Mc Fadden arrived in the city last Saturduy fiom Newport and pro ceeded to dig up information against Gust Olson, who was strongly suspected of violating the loci option law, says the Lincoln Leader. In a short time Prosecutor McFadden secured the necessary evidence and Gust was invited to appear Derore Circuit Judge Harris, who told him to caH again at 9 o'clock on Monday morning. At the ap pointed hour Gust was on hand with a plea of guiliy. Judge Harris assessed Gust $200 for his carelessness and warned him to be good. It was Gust's second offense and he was entitled to the limit, but the complaint failed to set forth the fact, which let him down easy. While in Newport Prosecutor McFadden rounded up Charlie Winant. Gene Williams and Jack Porter on the same charge. The trouble selllers pleaded guilty and Justice Sylvester taxed thtni $100 per head. District Attorney McFadden promises to keep busy along this line, and liquor selling in Lincoln ; connty ili probably prove le--s profiahlt- than iu the past. X great .rnitiy men will drink, bn. not manv will lie when placed under oath. 'Rough House" at Toled". Ed Collins of Siletz got iut trouble in Toledo Tuesday morn ing. Accoming to Gust Olson's story, Ed went into Gust's re freshment parlor and asked for booze, but was turned down, be cause Gust has quit selling booze it may be for years and it mav be forever. The firm refusal made Ed mad and he promptly hopped onto Gust's frame, slam med it onto the floor and tried to shut off it air suddIv. Gust managed to let out a cry lor help. and Bob Sailing came a-running. tie yanked Edott his victim, and then Ed mad; a rush for Bab. The latter wasn't so easy, and soonhad Ed flying signals ot dis tress. Having a high sense of honor, Bob permitted Ed to re gain his teet, likewise a little wind. Ed showed his gratitude by trying Bob again, but with the same result. Gust and Bob then left the 'place and EI fol lowed them. In front of the Parker House Ed made his final charge 011 the enemy's line. Bob went down from the shock. Seeing his rescuer temporarily getting the worst of the mix-up. Gust seized a brick and applied it to Ed's head. That ended the battle. Ed was placed in cold storage un til about 9 o'clock, when he was introduced to Recorder Krogstad, who assessed him $15. Ed dug rP $9-5 and promised to make sible. He neglected to tell where he got his load of fighting whis key. , He Learned It. The Patk avenue trolley line in the city of Rochester is crossed by three consecutive street which bear masculine surnames. An Irishman with a carpetbag entered one of the cars the ether day and sat down gingerly near the door. Four or five other men completed the list of pas sengers. The car swung around the corner of Chestnut street. "James, " shouted the con ductor. A man signaled him, the car stopped aud the man alighted. A half minute alter word the car neared another cross street. i nT7C7:ii; ) j ' winum, auuuu'JL'CU luc conductor. Another man got w ' i 1. i iiiuiuau o v. v. 3 i yy r visibly larger. "Alexander," shouted the con- ' ductor. The third inau lett the car. When it had started on the Irishman arose and approached the conductor. "Oi want to git out at Avnoo B," he said. Me front name is Michael. " Ex. Washing Flannels. The best way to wash any kind of flannel garments, to keep them soft and woolly as when new, is to put a teaspoonful of liquid am monia in the water when washing, and again in the warm rinsing wa ter. If this be done flannel of any kind will never get hard and spoiled as one sometimes sees it. ?, Ivory Knife Handles. J When the blades of knives re quire washing or standing in water, it should be done in a pitcher with water enough to cover the blades but not to touch the handles, and the water no hotter than is abso lutely necessary. Soaking the han dles in water makes them crack. To Wash Pongee. Plain pongee may be washed in warm soapsuds and ironed ' when quite dry. If ironed on the wrong side the new effect will be retained. If the material is embroidered in colors it should be washed in gaso line. It is well, however, to experi ment with a sample first. 1
