at Albany.
Salem— The Northwest association
has been formed at this place fo r the
purpose o f packing prunes this season.
I t is a new factor in the W illam ette
valley prune market. I t includes some
o f the largest growers o f this section
o f the valley. Its members declare it
w ill not join tbs packers’ combiné,
which was formed here some time ago,
and w ill be the only large packing firm
outside the Packers’ association. The
new Growers’ association has pur
chased the packing plant o f Lesselle
Bros., at Albany, and w ill operate it.
The plant has a capacity o f 160 cors
for the season. The capital stock o f
the new concern is $10,000.
Lesselle was formerly manager o f
the packing plant owned by Lesselle
Bros., and it is apparently the purpose
o f the new association to make use of
his knowledge o f packing and market
ing fruit.
Mr. Lesselle says that
prunes can be sold in the East at figures
a full cent above the prices now offered
by the packing houses which are mem
bers o f the Packers’ association.
The growers who have organized the
new association w ill proceed at once
to enlarge the membership. One o f
the plans o f the new concern is to re
quire all members to dry their prunes
thoroughly, so that there w ill be no
danger o f the fru it spoiling, as was
the case in some instances last year.
In order that the growers shall have no
incentive to underdry, each grower
w ill be credited with the additional
weight his fruit may gain during the
processing, grading and packing, which
increase is considerable in many in
stances.

Salon)— The establishment o f a one-
year teachers’ training course, to be
optional with pupils in the 10th, 11th
and 12th grades, is the principal fea
ture o f the new course o f study which
has been issued by Superintendent
Ackerman and which w ill be used in
all Oregon public schools hereafter.
The new course o f study is practical
ly the same as heretofore in use so far
as the first eight grades are concerned.
The new features are found in the high
schools, which comprise the 9th, 10th,
11th and 12th grades. The new teach
ers’ training course is not designed to
take the place o f normal school work,
but is provided as an aid to those high
school pupils who contemplate entering
the teaching profession, but who can
not see their way clear to attend one of
the normal schools.
Many young peo
ple now go from the high schools into
the common schools as teachers, and it
is the purpose o f the training course to
fit them better for such work.
The course includes 14 weeks in
W hite’s “ A r t o f Teaching,’ ’ seven
weeks o f observation work, seven weeks
of practice teaching, four weeks’ study
o f the common school course o f study,
and four weeks’ study o f practical
school problems.
Superintendent Ackerman expresses
the opinion that thiB optional work w ill
be taken by many high school pupils
who w ill thereby be induced to attend
one o f the regular normal schools.
T ras Loaded With Honey.
Pendleton— One o f the finest bee
trees ever found in this section o f the
Blue mountains was found this week
on the Joe Parks homestead, a mile
from Meacham. Three swarms o f bees
were in the immense tamarack tree
and eight gallons o f fine honey was ex
tracted.
The bees had entered the
hollow tree through a hole 20 feet
above the ground and the entire inside
o f the tree, which was hollow, was
filled w ith the clear, rich w ild honey,
the first ever found in this section.
The tree was located by an old woods
man engaged in cutting cordwood on
the Parkes place, who watched the
swarms come to water at a mountain
spring near his cabin.
A V E R T C L A S H O N BORDER.
French and German O fficers Cool-

Paris, Aug. 24.— War between Germ
any and France was averted by the cool
headednesa o f French and Geruman
army officers in a dramatic frontier
episode which is reported from Lunes-
ville. Tw o German army corps are en
gaged in maneuvers near the border,
and yesterday morning a battalion o f
French rifles, marching out from Ram-
bersvillers, approached within 60 yards
o f the frontier and suddenly found it
self face to face with a German regi
ment which was drawn.up at an eq
distance on the other side.
The troops stood looking at each oth
er fo r a moment without uttering a
word or givin g vent to an explanation,
and then their respective commanders
simultaneously orderered them to face
about, and they were soon at a prudent
distance from each other.
A fine illustration o f m ilitary discip
line was given on both sides, as a,cry
might have been the signal for serious

Chicago, Aug. 22.— Petitions fo r a
rehearing in the Standard Oil case
were presented by the Federal govern
ment in the Circuit Court o f Appeals
here today. I t is authoritatively, stat
ed that this is the administration’s at- ,
tempt to save the Elkins act and the
interstate commerce law from becom

The filing o f the petition marked the
appearance o f Attorney General Bona

assistant to the attorney general. Be
sides these two names the petition is
signed by Edwin W. Sims, United

government’s side o f the case in the
original hearing before Judge Landis,
who administered the famous fine o f
