Through the kindness of Supt.
Milligan, the Journal is furnished
with names of teachers who wrote
for certificates and credits at the
examination at Vale last week.
There were 2fi in all; 20 wrote for
one-year certificates, three for five-
year certificates, and three for
credits. Under the new law, any
holder of a common school certifi­
cate may write at any examina­
tion on one or more subjects, for
the purpose of securing credits;
and when sufficient credits have
been earned, the proper certificate
shall be issued. Following are the
names of those who wrote:

Boydell, Bruce Duncan, Florence

The Ontario Optimist of the
22nd published the following, con­
cerning the lands across Nnake
river below Nyssa:
The sale is reported of 20 acres
of orchard tract on the Fruitlaiul
bench, to J. E. Stouffor of Payetta
at $000 per acre, reserving the
crop, which they have since sold
for $-1,500, making an actual price
of $1,125 an acre. This is one of
the highest priced sales ever made
in Snake river valley, and it shows
what may be accomplished by pa­
tience arid perseverence in devel­
oping a piece of land. Probably
no country in the world repays la­
bor expended upon laud to a great­
er extent than does this part of
Snake river valley. The land sold
for a good figure as land values
go, but an income of $225 per acre
without touching the fruit is bet­
ter than anything ever offered here
before. Based on ordinary com­
mercial values of stocks add .bonds
in the east, the land should sell at
$1,500 per acre.
Hoboes at Work.
Policeman W. W. Smith has
been working a gang of hoboes on
on the streets this week, with
very good results.
Since the railroad work began
here, the hobo nuisance has. be­
come unbearable, and Mr. Smith
at last decided to make some val­
uable use of the fellows he was
continually compelled to round up,
with the result that the appear*
ancoof the streets are considerably
improved already, by the work
that has been put upon them from
this source.
It adds considerably to the work
of patrolman Smith, for 'it is no
easy job to get good work out of a
hobo.

ing the Haying Season.
W e bandle the best Pitch.
During the past week Secretary
Bush of the Nyssa Commercial
Club has supplied eight farm
hands for farmers in this vicinity,
saving them the trouble of going
out to hunt up help during their
busy season.
Mr. Bush says he is not particu-
laily busy with his own duties at
the present time, and wi 1 be glad
to assist the farmers in this way
whenever they desire him to,
without [cost to them.
The secretary's office hours are
from 1) a. m. to noon, and if farm­
ers desiring help will telephone to
the office any time in the morning,
\lr. Bush will be glad to go out
and find the needed help for them.
This is the spirit of co-operation
between the firm ing community
and the Commercial clab, that
the Journal has advised, and
which is of practical benefit. It
demonstrates one of the advan­
tages to the farmer of assisting in
keeping up the city oganization,
not only for direct financial ad­
vantages, but for that of mutual
assistance and co-opreation.

Dentist Locates in Nyssa.
Among the disadvantages and
incoimmiencob which Nyssa has
fallen heir to, during the past
years, hy reason of its location so
close to the Oregon-ldaho state
line, it is refreshing to find this
location working to her advantage
occasionally.
Just now Nyssa is coming in
for a double-header in an advertis­
ing way, by mason of its location.
In preparing displays and exhibits
for the special train that will be
sent east this fall, bol h Oregon
and Iilaho will represent the pro­
ducts of the Nyssa country.
This big special train will con­
sist of ten special coaches, and will
cover 10,000
miles, traveling
throughout the east and triddla
west, and the following itates will
participate in making up the dis­
plays carried on the special train:
Oregon. Idaho, Washington, Cali­
fornia. Nevada, Color, do, Utah,
Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska.
The itinerary will require six­
ty days in the fall and early win­
ter.
The following allied interests of
the northwest will take part and
assist in bringing to the front all
the advantages offered by the
great northwestern empire: The
Carey Act and other land inter­
ests, bankers, power companies,
lumber interests, railroads, mill­
ing interests, jobbing interests,
newspapers,
livestock,
dairies,
horticulturists, including canner­
ies, poultry .apiary, mining, agron­
omy grains and grasses, commer­
cial travelers and educational.
The purpose is to establish 15,-
000 or more homebuilders in ev­
ery state in the group participat­
ing.
Capital and immigration are
sure to follow this “ searchlight”
exhibit. The special train will
cost approximately
$40,000, of
which the railroads will pay $25,-
