Hanging on a rock aniidahipa, the United States transport Sheridan ia ashore on Bar ber'a point, the southwestern extremity at the (aland of Oabu, on which stands Honolulu. Her position is alarming, aa 4he rests on a sharp coral reef with wild aurt dashii on the shore and ren derkig it weli nijth impossible to land a boat, as there is no beacti. Tho Sheridan struck at 4 a. m., and promptly blew fcer whistle, but did not get into communication ith tbe shore antil the wifeless telegrap'j sta tion at Barber's tpoint was opened in the motning. She lies broadside to the shore, and is rolaing noticeably. All morning boaU were vainly trying ta find a lending place, but at I art the second Oliver got ashore and saved his boat a crew, -.though the boat itself v.es swamped in the breakers.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST j PAY OF TEACHERS. Receiving Highest Salaries Now in History of State. Salem Salaries of public school teachers in Oregon are now higher than ever before In the hietory of the state Thirty years ago the average monthly salaries were $4.V68 for males am $33tt4 for females. .During the 'tfOs when times were good, salaries In created and thoee of male teacheia reached the highest peint just before the panic of 18!3. The average salary paid to men in the public schools was then 41.11. The salaries of female teachers touched the highest point in 1891 when the reports showed an average of 42.43. "ilhe compensation of instruc tors in the public schools then started on a decline and so continued until 18i7, wken men were receiving an average of 9H.75 and woiun 433.97 For the last nine vears salaries have been steadily advancing and bavo now reacneo an average oi aou.u for men and $44.95 for women.

Tax Law it Declared To Be Unconstitutional. Salem The Oregon Supreme court has declared the grazing tax law of 1905 unconstitutional. The decision will have no very far reaching effect, for it has not been generally enforced or ob served. A test case was brought oj from Umatilla county, with the result that there is one more ray of light cast upon tbe problems of tax legislation in Oregon. The decision will likely be of advantage in some respects to the legis lature of 1907, which will give particu lar attention to the enactment of tax laws. Briefly stated, tbe 19U5 statute was declared void because it is a revenue tax law and not a license law. It possessed tbe language and elements of a tax law and not of a license law. Tbe act provided that a tax of 20 cents a head aball be paid upon all sheep owned by non-residents and brought into thia atate for pasturage. Schools Show. Good Advance. Salem Material advancement ia shown in the conditions of the schools of the state by the figures contained in the summary of Superintendent Acker man's annnal report, which he has just given out for publication. By this statement it is shown that the school population baa increased by at least 5,000 during the past year, and the total days' attendance baa been in creased to at least a million. Not withstanding this latter increase, bow- ever, tbe average daily attendance nas fallen off by over 100 days, but the av erage months school taught during the year has advanced from 6.05 to 6.19.

Can Hold Their Wheat Until the Price Suits Them. Salem That the farmera of the Wil lamette valley are leas under the con trol of warehousemen and nilllera than ever before is asserted by W. A. Tay lor, a prominent Waldo Hills farmer, who has taken the lead In the task ol breaking the hold of the buyers o( wheat. "tarmere are this year buying their sacka to a greater extent than ever l fore," he says, "and they are under no obligations to any buyer. They are entirely free to sell when they can get the highca' price. Then many farmers are planning to store their if rain on their farms until they get ready to sell, instead of hauling to a warehouse im mediately. They will make a sale Ural and haul the gram afterwards, and get better terms. "I have noticed," continued Mr. Taylor, "that millers and warehmne men are pretty anxious to get posses sion of wheat and hnve been offering inducements to get farmers to store grain in their warehouses. olwin standing the declaration that no more sacks would be lent, sucks have ieeii offered in the hope that thereby the in tending buyer would secure an advant age. ot many ol the tanners are tying themselves up, however."

He files on 20,000 miners' Inches un der a six-inch pressure, and it ia esti mated that 30,000 horse power can be generated. Mr. Curtis declines to make any statement regarding the in tentions of his employers, but it is presumed that they may, some time in tbe future, estalish a manufacturing plant in Kugene or vicinity. Hood River Prepares for Fair. Hood River Hon. E L. Smith, preaident, and G. J. Uessling, secre tary, o' the Hood River Biennial Fruit fair, have issued a call for a mass meet ing of the residents of the town and valley for the purpose of making ar rangements for this event, important to fruit growers.

Cnbanat Taken by Guerrera and Santa Clara is I" Danger. Havana, Aug. HI . The surrender of some of the mote vigorous Insing""! Ie.id.rs in the provinces ol Malanaaa and Santa Clara, and lh" fining in of a scattering few uimirg.-nts In tesponae to the government's offer of amnesty, ia vastly more than offset by the In surgent sentiment linking stronger hilyinthe country districts of Ihe provincei of Havana, I'mar del Uio nd Santa Clara, which la now report rd to be gaining headway In Santiago, from which province, however, there a'e as jet no reports f organist l bands. The testimony of persona arriving here from the country is unanimous to the effect that the people are rit1rs and becoming more and more excllrd. The talk of the tow ns Is of these w ho have gone out to join the insurgents ai d the chantes of winning auainst the government. There are grave d iiibts of the loyalty f the recruits, especially of negro r emits, who are suspicU I in many quarters of a willingness to join the other side, with chilli many ol their people ate . I -lit' ti I . The in deniable evtd.-nce ol the iriowth of insurrectionist si'iiliment is causing Increasing doubt as to whether the government will, alter all, le a!i to cope promptly at.d successfully with the movement, and there ia much dis cussion of the possil ilities of a peaceful settlement. Interest tenters in a pro- iecttd meeting: nf Cuban veterans an I other liromineilt men to consider the . , question of approaching l'ino (iuermra and other Insurgent lemli-rs ol Hie l.u era) party arid members of the gov ernment, with a view to ascertaining whether the dillicultv cannot be settltd through some compromise. Meanwhile a rapid tire artillery tor pa ia being organizi d ni d-r Amer ican ollicers, ammunition aid guns are being uupacktd ai.d the historic t'a -tillo tie la Punta, fronting on the bar- hor entrance, is the scene ol tlie grcai est activity. The insurrection in the province of l'niar del Kio has spread serosa the mountains to the north coast, ami the town of Cabanas is now in the hands of the insurgents, w I o are ie ported also to have gone i:i the tliiec tion of Bahia Honda. The insurgents took arms from a small detachment of rural guards, and captured 50 horses which the governor had requisitioned. The government telegraph lines are in terrupted. LOOK FOR LABEL ON MEAT. How Government Inspectors Will In dicate What it Good, Washington, Aug. 31. Ow ing to the new meat Inspection law, the number of inspectors' labels used will be more than doubled. Already the Agricul tural department has contracted to supply 10,000 for the month of Sep tember, arid after the law becomes effective this runnier will he increased to 15,000. The tag is about one and one quarter inches square. It ia a thin sheet ol gelatine, with a few threads running on it. There is printed in blue letter a legend like this: "United States. In spected. Passed 207." The number at the end is that ol the abattoir In spector, who simply slaps the little tag on a piece of meat and the heat and moisture of the freshly-killed meat makes it stick. In a short time the gelatine dissolves, the linen thieads rub off, and there is left nothing but ti e print ol those blue letters in the meat. It cannot be removed, except by cutting. It is absolutely harmless. Planning Immense Dam. Denver,' Aug. 31. Papers have been filed with the state engineer of Colo rado which have for their purpose the redemption of nearly 1,000,000 acrea of arid lands, the largest irrigation proposition that has ever hi en under taken by private capital. Frank J. McCarthy, a civil engineer of Denver, ia now drafting plana to build a reser voir that will cover 24 square miles, have an average depth of 35 feet, and use the entire surplus water of the Tlatte river. Heretofore, it has been estimated that 38,115,000,000 cubic feet of water was waBtid yearly in the Platte river, water which, if properly divertid and usol on land adjoining, would irrigate 1,000,0 )0, acrea of land and would support 100 000 people. Food and Water Plenty. Santiago, Chile, Aug. 31. Preaident Riesco today expressed the belief that all the villages and towns of Chile de stroyed by the recent earthquake would be rebuilt on their old sites, the elec tric light system would aoon be in op eration in Valparaiso, and the city would speedily establish the tramway service and tbe customs service would aoon be reorganized. The prisoners in the Valparaiso jail, except such as are known to be dangerous, and those who are serving second terms, have been set at woik improving the port. New Spelling in All Printing. Washington, Aug. 31. The presi dent's order regarding phonetic spel ling will be extended to all parts of the government. By his direction all doc uments are to be printed with that form of spelling. A meeting was held yesterday, called by I'ublio Printer Stilling.', ol all the chief clerks of the vaiioui deparimerits, and a committee wan appointed to formulate rules for carrying out this order. The commit tee will report it at a future meeting. Wilson Inspects Stockyards.

I'ltlCES GO SOAKING Increase In Pay Utile llencflt to San Francisco Workmen. RENTS ALMOST OUT OF REACH Bread and Cutter Free, but HeUu ranta and Molds Macoup on Other Things. San Francisco, Spt. I .Two month ago it was slated that labor In St rum. clsro had reached the highcnl kui n retold lor wages. Hlme then hihi.r li,, eclipsed Its tiw n record. Nut onlvlinn labor a Ivamt'd, but house rents nll (nod have gone up with iitpl l nindm during the last two months. Today another no drst lit:li ristim. rant crossed out its piiutcd prices nn.l inked in advances on the iiuukim.

The proprietor for aon.e reason or other felt called upon to ei plain. 'I he increase, by the way, Is about 20 per cent. "It 1 this way," apologized tl,,. host. "I pay half again aa inurh lor things as I did hehue the lire. To he gin with, I get live loaves of bretid less than formerly for ft. The hakci strut k, and to meet the I in ren i,. n, wiges the price of bread had to he rained. "Then the price of meat went up again this week.

The figures quoted r present the highest wages paid in the trades men tioned at the present time. The aver age would be slightly less. The union scale counts for very little at present. All contractors are forced to exceed it in ortter to get men. They are bidding against each other, and the end does not eeeui to have been reached. Strike has followed strike, and now, with in creased wagea in almost every line of industry, nobody is any better off than before. DEFECTS IN BIG WARSHIPS. Wrecked Montague and Great Dread naught Poorly Riveted. London, Sept. 1. Stateinenta have Iteen circulated about defective work manship on Krglith battleships. It was assertetl that in salvaging the Montague, which went on the rocks off I.umly island in June last, grave de fects in her riveting were discovered, but these statements were immediately denied from authoiitalive quarters. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Potsmoiith makes a similar statement about the new monster battleship Dreadnaught, alleging that in the hur ry to get the vessel completed her plaiea were badly fixed. Soon after tho vessel was launched, the corres pondent saya, some holes weie found without rivets, and the men reaoiisi ble were dismissed. Home leakage also waa found and she is now in diydock.
