GOOD OF CHILD IS AIM,
Alderman Urges Importance of
glen In School Study.
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. The primary object o
the study of physiology in our sschools
should be to teach an intelligent care

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.

INDIAN HOPPICKERS BUSY.
Growers Near Chemawa Say Aver
age Crop Is of Fine Quality.
Chemawa Hoppicking has begun
in this locality in the Lewis Savage
yard. 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.

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.
MEDFORD TO SHOW PEARS.
Annual Exhibit Is Proposed by South
ern Oregon City.
Medford This city will give a dis
trict fair October 3 to 7, which will
be the beginning of a pear Bhow that
it is hoped will eventually rival in im
portance the Spokane apple show.
The state appropriated $1,450 in
all for the enterprise, and in the last
few days about $3,000 has been raised
among Medford business men. It is
intended that in all $5,000 shall be
subscribed.
There is great local interest in the
enterprise, and it is already planned
to have automobile races and aviation
exhibitions. Mayor Canon, of Med
ford, has been elected president; A
K. Ware secretary, and George Davis
treasurer. ,
BIG DITCH SURVEY BEGINS.
Engineers to Lay Permanent Line for
"Shoestring" at Ontario.
Ontario Active work has begun on
the permanent survey of the Ontario-
Nyssa irrigation project, sometimes
called "the Shoestring" ditch. A
corps of engineers left here with camp
supplies and will run the permanent
nes of the canal, which will irrigate
10,000 acres of fine orchard land.
the preliminary lines were run last
winter, and the permanent survey will
cover more land than at first intended.
The officers of the company, headed by
Mayor I row, have already received
bids on the pumps and electric motors
and will award a contract for the ma
chinery late this fall. No one thing
will be of more beneht to the Ontario
and Nyssa territory than the building
of this ditch.
Medford After Colonists.
Medford To bring Medford her
share of the colonists who start west
September 15, when the colonist rates
are in force, the Medford Commercial
club has shipped five large boxes of
literature to an agent in Minneapolis
to distribute. Among the literature
sent were several beautifully illus
trated booklets and many of the busi
ness men's bulletins that the club has
been issuing in cooperation with the
Southern Pacific.

government timber reserve in Sumpter
valley has been awarded to W. H. Ec
cles & company, of Ogden, Utah, on a
bid filed by Mr. Eccles in June last.
He has just received notice of the
award from the department in Wash
ington, D. C.
