The Oregonian prints a question from Dallas to the State Superintend ent a3 follows: "A teachers' exami nation for state papers occurred early in August and the results were to be reported in a few weeks. In many cases they were, but only this week other papers were granted by the State Board of Education, which is supposed to have no special examinations. A number of Polk county teachers would like for the State School Superintend ent to explain how it is that so many of such teachers are granted papers so long after regular examinations." To which the State Superintendent's office makes the following explana tion: Examinations occur in August and February, and at that time grades are sent out. Many of the applicants receive their papers at those times, but many more have not the age or the required teaching experience, so they allow their grades to stand until they can meet the requirements, when they are granted their papers at any regular monthly meeting of the State Board of Education. SENATOR Ex.Qovernor Qeer Tells Friends Will Not Be Candidate for Governor. He T. T. Geer, ex-governor of Oregon, has officially informed his friends that he is a candidate for United States senator and will enter the primary election contestthecomiog June. Mr, Geer says that for a time he considered tho advisability of running for the Republican nomination for governor, but, having gone over the field, he decided that the senatorial field was the most inviting. The ex-governor returned from Pendleton last Wednes day aDd went home to Salem. He is building fences throughout the east ern part of the state. A story has been current for some weeks that Mr. Geer is negotiating for the purchase of the Pendleton Daily Tribune from E. P. Dodd. If the story is true, it is regarded as signifi cant, as the ex-governor doubtless would turn the paper's batteries on his opponents for the senatorial nomination. Pendleton is the home of Judge S. A. Lowell, who also has been credited with an ambition to represent the state in the senate. Portland Journal.

Beit & Cherrington. Work on the extension of the Dallas & Falls City railroad into the moun tains west of Falls City is being pushed as rapidly as men and teams can be secured to carry on the con struction of the line. The new track has been completed to a point on the Luckiamute river three miles above Falls City, and 1700 feet of additional grade is ready for the ties and steel. lrack-laying Is in progress at this time, and it is expected that trains will be running over the 1700 feet of new track by tomorrow night. The remaining2800 feetof roadbed between the present western terminus and the mouth of Black Rock creek will be completed as soon as possible, after which, work will cease for the winter. L. Gerlinger, president of the road, came up from Portland, Saturday, and spent several hours in consulta tion with Chief Engineer J. W. Coovert and General Manager L, Gerlinger, Jr., concerning plans for future construction work. On Sunday afternoon, accompanied by these offi cers and a party of invited friends, Mr. Gerlinger went out to the front by special train and inspected the work that has already been done. The coach was taken to the end of the line, three miles above Falls City, frequent stops being made to iuspect new sid ings, log roll-ways used by the lumber companies in loading cars, etc. The roadbed in the mountains is in ex cellent condition, considering its recent construction, and good time was made over the mountain extension. Leaving the train at Cone's siding, where Mr. Cone is locating the log ging headquarters for his new saw mill in Dallas, the party proceeded on foot to the end of the grade 2800 feet west of Black Rock creek. The road from this point to the western terminus 'will run through a comparatively level river bottom, and the remaining construction work will be easily and quickly accomplished if the weather continues favorable for the next few weeks. The new road runs through tho 810- acre timber tract of Mr. Cone, and the logging for the new sawmill will not ba difficult. Mr. Cone has a force of men at work building cabins and other necessary buildings, and will begin cutting timber in the near future. The Knapp logging camp further down the stream is already a scene of activity, and several thousand feetof fine timber is ready for ship ment to the mill in Dallas. Mr. Gerlinger informs us that the country along the line of his new road is rich in natural resources, every one of which will be fully investigated. The coal prospect at the mouth of Black Rock creek will receive attention as soon a3 the railroad work is fin ished. A diamond drill will be in stalled, and the prospect will be fully developed. It is believed from present indications that coal will be round in paying quantities at this point. The vast deposits of clay near the mouth of Sam's creek are already being investigated, Bamples having been shipped to prominent brick and pipe manufacturers in Portland for tests. Mr. Gerlinger is of the opinion that this clay will make a first-class vitrified brick, and will spare no expense in carrying out the proposed tests. If his judgment of the quality of this clay proves correct, arrange ments will at once be made to ship the raw material to Portland or to install a first-class brick factory at Dallas. Clay from these beds was used in lining the boilers in the mountain sawmills above Fall3 City and was found to possess all the qualities of the best imported fire clay. The Dallas and Falls City railroad Is now in the very heart of a fine timber belt, and the problem of secur ing; logs for the sawmills in Dallas U at an end. Enough timber U now within the reach of the road to supply the mills for many years to come, and the forests of the Luckiamute and Siletz basins farther west are extensive enough to make western Polk county the foremost producing lumber-producing region of the world.

The Portland business men's special train is scheduled to arrive from Mon mouth at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and to leave for McMinnville 25 minutes later. The excursion is under the auspices of the Portland Commercial Club, and the personnel of the party includes eighty prominent merchants and business men of the metropolis, The people of Dallas, through the City Council and Board of Trade. have arranged to give the visitors cordial welcome, and will spare no efforts to make their short stay pleasant and agreeable. The guests will be met at the depot by the city officers, local business men, and citi zens generally, and will be escorted to the business district, where an ex hibition will be given by the hose teams of the Dallas Fire Department The courthouse will be visited,' and short trips will probably be made to the sawmills and numerous other manufacturing institutions of the town. Owing to the short stay, no formal program will be attempted. but it is probable that President H. M. Cake and Secretary Tom Richardson, of the Portland Commercial Club, will be called upon to speak. The greater portion of the time will be devoted to social visits between the merchants and their customers. The brass band will furnish enlivening music for the occasion, and as a parting gift the visitors will receive several boxes of choice apples from the foothill orchards around Dallas. A well-attended meeting of local business and professional men, pre sided over by Mayor Biddle, was held in the Observer office Monday eve ning, at which time the above pro gram was outlined. The committee on general arrangements is desirous that every man and woman in Dallas shall be on hand to help welcome and entertain the yisitors, and each is re quested to consider himself or herself a committee of one on reception.

J ust about two years ago it was said by many that the Mitchell gang were doing all In their power to crush M. A. Moody, and that Mr. Williamson In particular was very active in having Mr. Moody indicted and put on trial. And it will also be remembered that Moody came out of that trial without a stigma on his name, the evidence lainly showing that somebody had persecuted him and that there never had been a shadow of a case against him. But what did Mr. Williamson say about it? In a published interview he KHve out this statement : Whenever my own 'political ene mies become so numerous and power ful as to cause a grand jury of my own citizens from my native state. after heailner my side of the case to udict mo for rifling the mails and using the information to rob a de fenseless widow, 1 will then and there throw upthe sponge, retire from public life and go back to the ranch." . It was shown on the trial that Moody had never even tampered with the mails and that "robbory" of the widow was all a mytti worked up by his political enemies. But where does Williamson stand? He was not only indicted but has been convicted by a jury of "my own citi zens from my native state," and there fore why should we not expect hlra to 'go back to the ranch" and "retire from public life" as he said two years ago he would? In igon Irrigator. Greeted by Many Friends. Rev. C. C. Poling, Ih. D., president of the Dallas College, occupied the pulpit of the First United Evangelical Church, East Tenth and Sherman streets, Sunday morning, and in the evening he preached In the Second United Evangelical Church. Albina. Dr. Poling was greeted by many of his former Portland friends whom he had not met since his return from Pennsylvania to resume his duties at the Dallas College. He founded the Evangelical Church, corner Sixth and Market streets, before the split in tho denommation.and afterwards founded the First United Evangelical Church, which was built on East Eighth and Main, and then moved to its present location. Dr. Poling is working to secure a permanent endowment for the Dallas College. He is glad to get back to Oregon. Dr. Poling expressed the opinion that the split will be healed and the United Evangelical and the Evangeli cal Association, which 18 years ago were one organization, will again reunite and be one church. During his stay In the East Dr. Poling says he found everywhere he went the drift of sentiment in both branches of the Evangelical Church toward organic union, and dec lares that all the bitter ness between the two branches is gone, and that the laity is now ripe and ready for union. He looks for a movement at the next general confer ences. Oregon ian. Buy Dallas Bakery.
