Salem A shorter course in techni cal grammar, a complete course in drawing, nature study, agriculture, industrial work and music and manual training, opening with a course of study in physiology and hygiene, in which special emphasis is laid on prac tical hygiene, are some of the features in the new course of study for the schools which has been prepared by Superintendent Alderman. The man ual of the revised course of study will be ready for distribution about Au gust SO. Clean finger nails, well- brushed hair, shiny shoes and clean clothes are other recommendations. In commenting on the new courses the superintendent says: "In carrying on the work outlined in this ponrs, nf Rt.nrlv T rtf-tna th at Independence at teachers of Oregon will, first of all, look to the health of the boys and girls. See to this then, if there is any time, teach the other work offered in this course.

AUTOMOBILE TIME CARD are advised to return to the old-time recess of not less than 15 minutes during the morning session and again in the afternoon, but it is said that the recess will do no good unless the teacher makes a supervis ion of the playground a serious part of the day s work. The more simple facts of sanitation are expected to be taught In speak ing of this Mr. Alderman says that it is of more value to the boy who ex pects to live in the country to know that the well should be dug in a place where it will not receive the drainage from the barn or the closet than to know the exact number of bones or muscles in the body. The teachers are also advised to teach this work by examble as well as by direct method The school grounds and the outbuild ings are to be cared for : the interior of the buildings should be kept clean and, where the buildings have not special ventilating system, every win dow is to be provided with a window board, so that the children may have an abundance of fresh air. .Leaving independence at 7:30 a. m. arrives at tne MclNary crossing in ti.ne to catch the east bound tram, weaving independence in tne even ing at 3 :30 p. m. and arriving at the crossing in time to make connection witn trains going Dotn ways, and re turn at 4 :49.

This yard is being picked by the Indian pupils of the school, as it has been for the last 12 or 15 years, In addition to this yard the Indian boys and girls will pick the George Savage yard, the McNary, the Bent Jones and the Yerkes yards. The demand for help in the hop yards comes from miles around, and tne scnoi autnorities are able to sup ply but a small proportion of those re quested. The Indians are very clean pickers, and the high prices this year will require that the hops be picked extra clean. The girls of the school are taken to the yards early each day in carryalls and hayracks, chaperoned .by the teachers of the school. Their noon luncheon is sent to them and they re turn in the evening to the school for a late supper. The boys are sent out to the yards in charge of an employe and go into. camp, remaining until the yard is picked. They take along a camping outfit, and each day meat and bread and fresh vegetables are sent to them." The hops this year are only an aver age crop in this neighborhood. The quality of the hops is excellent. SCHOOL FUND LOAN OUT. THE ELDRIDGE C. E. Van Allen, Proprietor Large sunny rooms en suite or sin gle. Electric lights, bath and piano. European Plan. 248 N.

Farmer 524 FOR Farm Produce BY THE BUTLER PRODUCE CO. Farmers in State Quick to Borrow on First Mortgages. Salem Within 15 days the state board received appplications for over $260,000 worth of school fund loans and as a result it has been necessary for the board to again shut off appli cants. This condition indicates that there is an immense demand for money throughout the state. All loans from the school fund are made on first mortgage farm lands and the loan cannot exceed one-third of the value of the property. A limit of $2,500 is placed on the loans. The board has been passing favorably on those loans which are for $1,000 and less, as a greater num ber of people will be served this way before passing to those applications which are for larger amounts. It prob ably will be several months again be fore the board will announce itself as ready to receive further applications. Yamhill Has Heavy Timber, McMinnville A cruise of the tim ber lands of Yamhill county by the assessor's office has revealed a quarter section of fir timber that is generally conceded to be the peer of any other quarter section of timber in Oregon and Washington. This body of tim ber lies on the north fork of the Yam hill river and contains 94,700,000 feet Articles Are Filed for Line From Dallas to Toledo. Salem Articles of incorporation filed with the office of the secretary of state indicate that there is a move on foot to construct a railroad line from Toledo, in Lincoln county, to Dallas, in Polk county. In event this railroad should be constructed it would give a new railroad line from Portland to Newport by making connections. This would be so at least when the Salem, Falls City & Western, which operates from Blackrock to Salem, through Dallas, completes its bridge across the Willamette river at Salem. The new company is capitalized at $1,000,000. The incorporators are C R. Vrosno, Ed J. Avery and John Kenta. The road is to be called the Toledo & Siletz Railroad & Naviga tion company, and its principal place of business will be at Toledo. The company also desires to operate a sys tem of boat lines on the Yaquina river, according to the articles. Should the new line become a real ity, tourists from Portland could come to Salem either on the Oregon Electric or Southern Pacific, transfer to the Salem, Falls City & Western to Dal las, transfer to the new road at Toledo and from there take the Corvallig & Eastern to Yaquina. PHONE WAR END IS LIKELY. Subscribers' Committee to Examine Company's Books. Enterprise The committee having charge of the fight against the recent advance in rates by the Home Tele phone company has secured permission from the directors of the Home com pany to have a committee appointed by the subscribers examine the books of the company and from their finding re commend a reasonable and just rate to be charged for the use of the phone lines. Committees from Wallowa county and Union county met at Wallowa and agreed to co-operate in the examina tion of the books, and to work to gether afterward. The committee was authorized to obtain estimates on the cost of construction of a new line under the co-operative system, which information will be used both as a basis in arriving at a settlement with the Home company and for the con struction of a new line if finally de cided on.
