-tfa-t:' , . SCHOOL - LIBRARIES COTKTY COTJM HAKES' THE FIRST APPOKTIOMtZHT. ;. Total of $640 for the Entire County ot Which Amount Athena Will Eeceive $36 60. J. F. Nowlin, the county superintend ent ot schools, has just completed the apportionment of the money given him by the county court for the establish ment of libraries throughout the differ ent districts of the county, say the East Oregonian. The law provides that the court shall give to the county superin tendent once each year, a .sum which shall amount to' at least ten cents per eapita for each of the school children in the ceunty for the establishment of lib raries throughout the county, one in each district. There are in the county 6,400 pupils and therefore the court gave to the superintendent the sum of $640. The sum given was the minimum basis of 10centa to the pupil, - and it is the fisat time that the court has voted the money in the histery of the eonnty. The beoks bought this time Will be the niicleas fer a library in each of the dis trists, which will grow as the money is veted from year to year. . By the provisions of the law the school beard of each district shall at the call of the eeuntr superintendent meet him at his office, and there decide on the books they will buy from a list already ap proved by the state board of education. When they have made their choice the meaey will be paid tor the books and the propnty will be forwarded to the various districts. Professor Nowlin has appelated the first week in September m the time that he will meet the school boards for" the purpose 'of making 4be selectioa ef the books. He will be at his nfflr all nf that week, ready to meet and oonter with the boards on the Subject. J By the apportionments the districts re ceive all the-wav from 81 to 8152. The latter sum was given to the Pendleton district, and shows that there are l.WJU papils in the; Pendleton schools, ,, Wes ton gets $33.80, Athena 836.60, Free water tU.10 and Adams 811.90. These are the largest amounts in 1 the county and the others receive varying sums.. ' The bookp bought will be those that . have been examined and approved by tl state board as being moral in tone and beneficial to the, minds of the young.' They are standard books on travel, tic tion, scientific and literary "subjects' and so written as to be interesting to the voum and stimulative of a desire for good and solid reading. in i OREGON HISTORY.- oaie Interfiling Statistics : Old Geography." From an A text book on Geography Cy'Na thanial O. Huntington,' published at Hartford in 1835, has been kindly loaned by a lady for examination and proves ex cesdingly interesting,; says the Salem swuesmaa. The territory of Oregon is stated, in this geography of 70 years ago, to be 300.000 square miles in extent and to save a population' of 80,000 Indians. This territory extends west. from the Rocky mountains :to, the Pacific ocean It is a region little explored by the whites. The climate is said to be milder than that of the same latitude on the Atlantic. S The principal., rivers are .the Columbia and its branches. . The soil on this river for a great distance is fertile and abounds in fir trees and pines, some of which are represented to be 200 or 810 feet in height and 30 feet in circum forence. The river produces vast quan tities of salmon, ' which constitute no small part of the sustenance ot the In dians on its banks. Eighteen . miles above the mouth of the , Columbia' is Astoria, an American settroment ot fur traders. "Heaver are found fa plenty; producing large quantities of valuable fur. The nobis ano extensive forests of Oregon abound in the finest ship timber, and are thronged with wild animals. Thou sands of buffalo have been seen witlAn the compass of a mile. The wild horses are numerous, spirited and elegant. The Indians are fond ot taking and mounting them. There are many sheep on all the mountains, and large numbers of horned cattle gracing on the hills toward the south," This is all there was to learn 70 years ago about the Oregon territory, out ot which Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming have been carved. Lost Mil Hon. Milton Eagle; C. O. Bowman lost a valuable horse Monday in rather a pecu liar manner. He was returning home fni a trip to Weston and while crossing tte railroad on Dry Creek the horses be came frightened and forced the wagon ever the embankment. One ot the hors es lit in such a manner that its back was broken. Mr. Bowman escaped serious injsry by jumping.' Th Huckleberry t'rvi. The prolific huckleberry crop iu the mountains east ot town is furnishing lucrative employment as well as an op portunity tor recreation and the enjoy ment ot cump life, for hundreds ot peo ple. Almost every mountain spring has in its imsaedfate vicinity a tented city, in which at night huge camp fires blase and merry ong and laughter . floats -,o ut ea the still, mountain air. As a rule, daytime finds all in tha active work ot gathering the aromatic ;"olalla," which abounds in the timber ts never before. Indian women make daily trips to the nearby towns end the housewife who is not able to go to the mountain resorts is tbu supplied with berries. . The price paid ranges from 50c to 75c per gallon.
