The citizens are determined lo shako

obstacles. The suicidal act of the water
company has awakened our people to tho

it inaugurates self-ownership of these

timu to accomplish these, and hence the
necessity of beginning at once. In the
mean lime tho work ol exteniiiog our

REMINISCENT.
The reailers of the I'jaindkalek will
remember that in giving a sketch of. our
travels in 1847 we left them on the
banks of the Sacramento river at the
house of an American family, the first
we had come to since leaving the Wil-
liamette valley. Around this house ly
ing in the shade, and strolling about,
were fifteen or twenty Indians, all as
naked as they were tho day they wer"-
born. Tho women of the family resid
ing there, moved about apparently un
conscious of the nakedness of the In
dians. They were so accustomed to them
that their presence was a matter of ut
ter unconcern, but to us of our company
it touched our sense of delicacy, and
caused a feeling of shame-facedncss to
pervade our moral nature. After par
taking of our noon day meal, we packed
up to continue our travel, when the
kind lady of the house presented us
with some rolls of fresh butter, which
was a welcome addition to our larder,
although we had a small allowance of
that commodity which we had brought
with tta from the Williamette. Now to
those not convercent with the best
modo of carrying butter with them on
their travels, we will let them know
how we preserved the butter firm and
fresh. We had five mules packed with
flour two one hundred pound sacks on
each mule, inside of each sack of flour
we placed two rolls of butter, and this
Gutter so packed in tho center of the
flour sacks continued good and firm
notwithstanding the packs were exposed
to the sun on the mules' backs as we
pursued our journey.
Wo now again begin our travel, meet-
u g with Indians all along our route,
never giving us cause lor alarm, but
they rather were peaceable and seemed
pleased to meet us. We account for
their harmleysuesa in this way. The
year Itofore they had become trouble
some, when tremont wttti some ol ins
troops appeared among them, brought
them into subjection, and impressed
upon them tbe necessity of giving Amer
icans no further cause for alarm.
Pa jsing down the Sacramen'o count
less numbers of antelope were seen
gamboling near our pathway, appar
ently fearless of our approach.
The Indians had no guns and the
paniarda never sought foi wild game,
their sole dependence for animal food
was on tbe immense herds of Spanfah
cattle then roaming the plains of Califor
nia. During a twenty-two months' so
journ in mat country, we never saw a
Spaniard with a gun in nis bauds. But
pursuing our t.avel, after 25 miles.' rid
ing in the hot eun,.we again camped on
tbe banks of tho Sacramento. On near
ing our camping place we saw two figures
flitting with theEpeed of the wind toward
the river, and on reaching tho bank
piuugea into tue water ana were soon
lost to sight, They were aborigines ot
the female persuasion, and wero the
only ones we observed passing down
through the whole length of the Sacra
mento. But one thing we did observe,
ami mat was tuo thickening swarms
of mosquitoes as the night approached.
and it would have l)een amusinc to the
fair denizens of Roseburg, could they
have seen the means resorted to to
avoid their murderous fangs, and their
musical songs on the evening air. We
would select a place to lie down, cover
ourselves with our blankets, and im
agine we were safe from the pestifer
ous insects, but soon, ah! too soon, they
would lo swarmini; about our resting
place thick as the locusts of Egypt in
ancient tunes, when siultlenlv we
would spring from our couch, run
couple of hundred yards with our blank
ets in our arms, then down again we
would lie, until caused to retreat again
lrom their prying curiosity, thus was
passed the nights down the Sacramento.
The little children that were with us
presented both a ludricous and pitiful
sight, their faces swoolen almost beyond
recognition from the bites of the infer
nal mosquitoes. H

This, considering tbe law regulating
trades, is a good i.rcen!age. As the
law is, one who has passed tbe second
aud third trades once cannot bo granted
certificates of some grade again. They
must advance to tho next grade or re
ceive no certificate at all. While the
purine may be correct as a principle, it
don't work well, for good teachers some
times fail to advance to uext higher than
that previously granted. If a teacher
who passes to second grade can teach
icceptably and well, there is no good
reason why they should not be given a
certificate. Tho third grado should be
stricken out and no one he granted
certificate nt h!1 unless they
can pass by at .east to per cent, a rea
sonably thorough examination. There
should bo no more than two grades, the
first authorizing no holder to teach in
;uy public school in the state; the sec-
oud iu any school in the county. And if
at any subsequent examination the'ap-
plicunt can't pas3 to first grade but can
maintain his socoii'i gra-ie let ins cer
tificate bj renewed. It is a virtual
acknowledgment that if a teacher of one
grade can't p iss to the other he is un
fit to leach at all. No one should be
allowed to teach at all unless they be
fouud competaut to teach thoroughly the
branches provided by law.

ALL ABOUT BOHEMIA.
The fact of two mills going into the
Bohemia district, has given renewed life
into the camp. All the boys are doing a
large amount of work on their various
claims and new prospectors are going into
the field. Duriuir the past week a half
interest has been sold in one of tho
promising claims and more sales are on
the tapis. Au Eastern svedicato has
been represented here by au expert to
put on two special properties. He is
very much pleased with the rock form
ations ia this district, and tho character
of the ore bodies found, aud with abund
ance of water all through the district for
milling purposes.
At tho Star mine P. J. Jennings has
put on a large force of men, and is push
ing ihinua that reminds yon o! a lively
camp. The millwright is building the
mill and getting everything in readiness
for the machinery as soon as it arrives,
while another force of men are yrading a
wagon road to the mine. The mine is
showing up well, tin ore bodies contin
uing to gradually increase and maintain
their former quality of ore. Everything
is being put in shape to keep the mill
running night and day all winter when
it starts.
Ben Pierstn came in from Bohemia,
whero he has made Eoine recent dis
coveries that show way up and make a
prospector feel good. Echo-I.e.ider.
Salem Heard From.
Saixji, Aug 17.
Iu the Roseburg Reviuvv ol August
loth I read the followim:: The two
legged animals recently exhibited in
Roseburg are by no means rare seei
meus. There are hundred of two-legged
hogs iu Salem." Tha cranky, h t!f de
mented individual who shoves the pencil
for the Review, lose. iu opportunity
to vent his spier n uainst S.ilem
and its citizens. There may bo
"hundreds of two lejged hog3i:i Salem,"
but there seems to be but one idiotie
jackass in the sanctum of the Review,
who,-o main characteristics aio enotism
and braggadocio. All his futile effoits
to bring tbe citizous of Salem into con
tempt, are but tho pigmy efforts i.f n
jaundiced imbecile, whose sule occupa
tion is to belittle thoso who will not rec
ognize him as possessing the intellect
uality of a "Demosthenes." Poor fellow,
in his delirious ravings, ho forgets he is
not the immaculate and bigh-toued
creature he imagines himself to be.
When he comes to Slem I may possibly
givo him an introduction lo some of
Salem's two-legged hog . In tbe mean
time lot his jackass proclivities induce
him to continue his vociferous braying
until hia lengthened ears wag in unison
with tho musical cadences that from
time to lime brings to him sweet mel
ody. Salemite.
