Laat wee k P. l foot ball team from Forest Grove toured in Vah Ington and Idaho and was beaten in a match at Walla Walla by the Whit, wan college team. A few days later the Idaho players repeated the dose buton the return oiir ho- at Pulman worsted the Agricultural college players by a score of 6 to 5. The boys came home feeling more cheer ful than at one lime wa thought possible. The Whitman college team flushed with victory came touring Oregon. At Portland they ran up gainst the Multnomah and lost by a score ot 21 toO. Some that saw the game declared that the lop-ar plac ed In a stage fright and that bad they gone on the field self possesed they Would have done better. On Wed nesday laat the visitors were out-played at Eugene by the U. of O. team, score 6 to 0. The U. of O. has been champion of the state colleges for sev eral years though in 1897 they lost to O. A. C. at Corvallis. The farmers that year beat everything that came against them. Since then however the Oregon farmers have not done much, nothing In fact. This Is due to the prohibition put upon foot-ball by the faculty. This action lost some of the beat players to the State Uni versity which strengthened that team for championship work. The faculty rescinded the rule last year and the boys commenced building up a new team. The playeisthls yearare said to be a little uuder weight but able toruu. Only two members of the 1897 championship team are present this year, Gault and Branaugh. The only work done this year.waa on Sat urday last when they met the Wllla mette University team and defeated them by a score of 67 to 0. The next scrimmage will be with the Univer sity of Washington at Seattle tomor row. The boys were on the train yes terday afternoon when it paased Hills boro. They easily beat the Seattle boys In 1897 but that can not betaken as a poluter for tomorrow, for both teams are really straugers this year.

Washington County just now Is wrestling with a condition that its schools are meeting. There are not teacher enough to do the work. Bev eral of the smalhr schools have not been able lo find instructors. Just what is to be done is not yet revealed. There is another problem, the best teachers are going to other counties wi.urn ihu rtaim better waves are paid. This does not apply to the; schools in the towus aud larger ais- tricts, but to the. country school. These though pay as much as they have and low salaries is not to be charged to (he niggaidlluets or me school board. " The remedy is a hlgti er tax levy and this Is a matter that the school superintendent ought to lay before the couuty court when the next tax levy is made. Wilnout doubt this will te done. The couuty must have teacher euough for its schools, and it must keep its experi enced teachers, There seems no way of doing this other than paying as much as our neighbors areofferlng.
