Spokane, Wash , Aug. 6—Posit- ions-await several thousand teach- ers in the public schools in Wash- ington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon- tana, according to Bruce M. Wat- son, superintendant of schools in Spokane, who said that fully 500 will be required in this city next fall. There were 448 teachers on the city’s payrolls last season, at salaries ranging from $55 to $90 a month, One explanation offered for this unusual demand is that hundreds of teachers have left the profession the last few years to marry, while others entered other lines of work in the northwest, “Hundreds of teachers from east- ern states come to Washington every year who are qualified to teach when they arrive, having taught in other schools,” said Dr. H.” W. Allen, chairman of the board of education of Spokane,“‘and this is true of Ore- gon, Idaho, Montana and other states in the West. No statistics are available as to the exact number of teachers who obtain positions here each year, but it is probably safe to say that 33 per cent of next year's force in this state will consist of teachers who are from eastern and central states, or of those who have had no previous experience. “Statistics compiled in Iowa show that the teaching force of that state changes every three years, while of the 9,683 teachers receiving certifi- cates in Kansas last year 3,360 had no previous experience. The many schools opened in Washington and other northwestern states each year, and the added number of teachers needed each succeeding year in all of our rapidly growing cities and tewns, causes an unusual demand R. C. Hayner. Candidate for Senator. I wish to announce through the columns of your paper that I will be a candidate for the republican nomi- nation for state senator from this legislative district at the coming primary election. I will make known at some later date the platform upon which I will solicit the support of he voters of the district. A. L. Hanson. Announcement for Coroner.

Because of the many opportunities in other lines of work a larger per- ‘tentage of teachers leave the - pro- fession in this and other states in the northwest each year than in eastern states.” Two Final Proofs Filed. John B. Anderscn, of Eland, has filed a final proof on his 160 acres of land. Edward E. Tosterud, rof Maple Ridge, has filed final proof on his 40. Tosterud lived on his land fourteen months and paid $1.25 per acre. Anderson lived on his for five years. Summer Student Poisoned. Petra Paulson, a' student of the summer school, is confined to St. Anthony hosgital with ivy poison- ing. She gave a picnic on the lake shore Sunday morning and was probably poisoned at that . time. She will not be out of the hospital for several days. GOLORED POST GARDS FREE Not Cheap Trash, bnt 10 Beautiful Ones.
