In the course of a special session held by tho Bend school board lato yesterday afternoon, n new minimum scale for instructors for the coming year was fixed, making substantial Increases over the salaries In effect this year. Not only Is the Increase to bo mode but It will bo on the ba sis ot ten months pay for nine and onc-hnlf months. Instead of nino months pay for nine months, now tho basis ot compensation. The change Is in line with tho board's policy to keep instructor salaries advancing as nearly as pos sible in proportion to gains In living costs, and yill mean that Bend will be able to offer adequate compensa tion to sccuro the best teaching talent. Under tho new schedule, grade teachers will receive a minimum of $1200, against the 990 ot the pres ent year, tho Junior high teachers $1350 instead of $1080 now paid, and tho senior high Instructors $1500 Instead of the $U2G which 13 tho minimum at present in force. Special teachers wll receive as their lowest compensation, 51500.

Aside from tho consideration ot bills, road matters wero of chief In terest at the regular meeting ot.tha Deschutes county court held yester day, option on no less than four Im portant roads being taken by the court. Whether tho $5000 for tho Terro-bonne-Lower Bridge road Included ia tho county bond issue ot last year should be spent on tho north rea4, or on the south branch which con nects with Tho Dalles-Callforaift highway approximately one-half raSIe south of Terrebonne, was one ot the main questions brought up for settle ment. Joe Howard, Jr., who repre sented the Lower Bridge district, declared that all the people, in that locality, with tho exception ot Um Japanese potato growers and offi cials of the Western DIatomite com pany are In favor of tho road which will conned' wfth the, trunk highway. W. F. Mackey, appearing in the in terests of the Terrebonne district, uupported tho north road on the grounds that it would bo more ad vantageous to shippers. Tho matter was adjusted by the court's decision to construct the sec tion of road common to both branches, and to expend the balance ot fundi available on the south line.
