Stanfield Standard. There have been nearly a million pounds of chrome hauled from Can yon mountain to Prairie City, where it was shipped east. This was ud to last Saturday and the figures showed that teams had hauled 800,000 lbs. This is only a small portion of the railroadchrome in this county and the amount that will be hauled to the railroad will run into the millions of pounds. The new body, west of here will supply thousands of tons and a string of teams will be put onto the road just as soon as possible. Mr. McCorckle and Joe Beggs will ship this ore. The mining and shipping of chrome from this sectilon has grown into an industry that will bring a great deal of money into the county and it will continue for a long ume. canyon City Blue Mt.

Unless some measures can be tak en, legally, to rid this commuility of the large white owls which have Lappeared this winter the China Phea sants will be considerably scarcer in the Spring. Dr. Alex Reid saw an owl capture and eat a pheasant and jonn uossage nas seen the same thing happen. It is understood that the law pro hibits the killing of white owls, but the sportmen here who are protecting the pheasants have been sorely tempted, to kill the big owls. Stan lield Standard.

Many Predatory Animals Killed. More than 15,000 predatory ani mals, over 11,000 of which were coy otes, were destroyed during the fiscal government year by the trappers and hunters hired by the government according to reports from Washing ton received by the local department of the biological survey. The report states that 11,800 coy otes, 1564 bobcats, 424 wolves, mountain lions and 2086 miscellan- eous wild animals were killed during the year, and this does not take into account many animals poisoned and whose bodies were never recovered The government uses three methods in its warfare against predatory beasts, trapping, shooting and pois oning. Most of the animals were kill ed in the western states where rabies has been prevalent. rendleton E.

The State Teachers' Association will meet in Portland, December 27 29. The Educational- Council will meet on the 27th, and the regular program will be presented on the two days followin. Arrangements have been made to have some of the ablest school men of the country on the pro- ram. The Eastern Division of the Association has voted to unite with the Western Division, so that there will be but one association from this time on. The railroads have made a rate of one and one-third fare for the meeting. The hotels are planning to entertain the teachers royally at reasonable rates. We hope that this county will be representated by a large delegation of teachers. We i somewhat issolated here, hence we need tci get out once in a while and "mix" with others. We need the inspiration which comes from lis tenlng to some of the educational lea'ders. A local educational meeting was held in District No. 34 last Saturday night. The pupils and patrons turn ed out in numbers sufficient to fill the schoolhouse. The pupils presented a very interesting program. Tula was followed by a short address by the writer, after which the lantern was brought into service and nearly a hundred slides were shown and ex plained. The ladies of the neighbor hood then took charge of affairs and served a splendid lunch. Everybody seemed to enjoy the evening and another such an event will probably occur in the near future. The writer has been visiting the Heppner school a few hours at a time during the past two weeks. Usually the approach of the holidays begins to tell upon a school at this time of year, but there is very little evidence that the work is slacking in this school. I think that there has not been, since my acquaintance with this school began, a more serious and studious student body than the one now to be found in the school. Al most without exception, the pupils seem to be intensely interested in their work and go about in a happy frame of mind. The writer had the pleasure of addressing the high school Monday morning, this being the oc casion of his final official visit. It was an occasion of unusual interest to the writer, as he watched the work of a large number of these students since they were in the primary grad es. It is the devout wish of the writ er that every one of these students may meet with well deserved success. Within a fw dayes the writer will close up his work as county super intendent, after having devoted near ly eight and half years to the work. It is his purpose to say a few things through the press next week by the way of review of the work and sug gestion as to what the public may do to assist the work under the new administration.
