Minimum for Krnlor High
Instructors.
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. On
this one point it Is difficult to com
pare tho proposed minimum with
any previous figures, for while $1000
was paid as the lowest salary offered
a special teacher, this was not re
garded In tho light of a basic wagt

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.
Donation work, it la expected, will
romplelO (ho north branch. Beth
route, will be 'surveyed according to
I market road standards.
Roadmastor Walter May was or
dered to start work clearing the right
ot way for the recently surveyed
hatcher) road and to drag tho road
between tho Vandejrvort ranch and
La Pine.
Arrangements wero made to do
necessary repair work in the Sisters
section whero water from Squaw
Creek recently- washed out part ot
tho Sisters-Redmond road.
Preliminary steps wero taken for
tho establishment ot the Central Ore
