TIOX IS EXPECTED Teachers; Opposition Will out Forward at Meeting. Fireworks are promised for the meeting of the school board which takes place tonight at the Senior high school at 8 o'clock. The chief issue will be the ques tion of a teacher's salary schedule A tentative scale will be submit ted to the bo-rrf hv C W. lioetti chrr and D. D. Hacklrman. At the last mertin" of the board Beotticher and Hackloman were ap- pointed to draw up a schedule of the salaries fur the comiiig yc. r. This ' they did and their scale was taken under advisement. Believing that the , figures were not acceptable to the ! board because they ran over the bud-, get some 1 1500 another schedule has ' been prepared which will be submit- i ted tonight. i The first schedule Called for ap-' proximately $125 a month for grade I school teachers and $135 a month for hieh school teachers. This was very similar to the minimum wage scale which waa advocated to the school heads of Western Oregon by State Superintendent of Public Instruction at their mee ting in Albany last week, Such a scale for the coming year however would exceed the Linn eoun- ty budget by approximately 11500 a.:d it is not believed that it would be accepted by the board. The scale which will be submitted tonight will be less than $110 a month for grade teachers and about $120 a month for high school teachers. " It is rumored that these amounts will not be acceptable to the teach, ers by any means and it is expected that a spirited debate on the question will arise before the meeting of the board. Albany :s in danger of losing some of its best teachers unless the present scale is raised and the ques tion is of interest to every one in the city.

Thut is the chief lessim learn ed by those who 'made the silo tour Saturday in the Grand Prairie com munity. Ten silos were visited by the eigh teen men mainly for the purpose of determining if possible why silage would not be as good as other ailnge put up under apparently the same condition. It has long been known that tramp ing was important and Saturday's tour brought this home more forcibly than any bulletin or lecture possibly could havP done. Almost invariably the quality of the silage inspected was good where from two to four men were kept in the siol when It was be ing filled. The only poor silage found was in silos where questions brought out the fart that not much tramp- Proper distribution of the silnrc mixnlf 'hr coarser particles with the finer WM als0 hown to KUitti to goo,) quality.
