GENERAL SUGGESTIONS. In Watson's Complete Speller use the easy lines in each lesson first; after wards the harder ones. Drawing may be introduced to- alter nate with writing at the option of the school. In all grades particular attention should be paid to correct use of 'lan guage. All the theory of grammar in the world will not amount to much if the pupil is not trained to speak the English language correctly. In earlier grades than the eighth phy siology may be taught by object lessons, or the use of Smith's Primary Physi ology. It must be remembered that moral in struction is called for by the law and of necessity is required. . The education of the child intellectually, without correct moral principles as the foundation of character, may be a curse instead of a blessing. "Ethics for Young People," by C. C. Everett is an excellent text book for such instruction, and should be in every school in the county. ' No full explanation of the manner of teaching each branch is presented until the course of study is finally arranged and adopted. REMARKS. ' In presenting this course of Btudy it is hoped that while waiting for its final adoption, every one interested will give it their careful study, and the public the benefit of their criticism. Adverse crit icism is not feared half so much as apathy in regard to it. That there are grave difficulties to be met with in regarding the country school, some of which cannot be wholly overcome, none will attempt to deny. But, that there are great benefits, on the other hand, to be derived from it, can be equally well shown. Some of them are here presented. - As the work now stands in the coun try school, there is nothing tangible to work to or from. There is no beginning or ending. There is nothing definite in the mind of either teacher or pupil as to what constitutes a completion of his studies in the common school. In the graded course there would be a carefully prepared plan arranged by the best ed ucators of the county, gleaned from the ripe experience of others all over our broad land, and the pupil could have the satisfaction of knowing that when he had passed through the course and gained a certain per cent, there was something finished, something com pleted. No education is wholly finished in this life, but why, we ask, should not the pupil have a diploma given him when he has completed the common school course, as a reward for his labor, as well as one who finishes the university or college course? It is believed that the granting of such a diploma by the county board of xaminers, which the graded course contemplates, would be" a grand Incentive to the pupil. Lessening the number of classes it would give the pupil the benefit of a longer recitation, and. save the teacher's time so that 'he could do more and bet ter work with each class. An examination would be held at the dose of each term, and a certificate of standing given each pupil. At the beginning of next term if there were a change of teachers, the place of each pupil would be accurately known the first day, instead of the new teacher turning them all back to the first of the book and spending several weeks to know where they belonged. If the graded course were adopted for the schools of the county, it would still be optional with the boards of each dis trict whether they accepted it or not, so that no harm could come from it in any event. Many other reasons might be urged in its favor, but these are given with the hope and the prayer that whatever may be done will redound to the benefit of our school -. i Troy Shelley, Superintendent.

Secretary of The Dalles Board of Trade B. S. Huntington has just completed a carefully made estimate of the amount of products marketed from the counties of Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow and Crook in .this state and Klickitat coanty, Washington, being the territory tributary to the Columbia river from the Cascades to the mouth of Willow creek, a distance of about 100 miles, and of the amounts of importsinto the same territory during the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1891. The following is the esti mate for the exports of cereals : Wasco 2S0,000 Sherman : 625,000 Gilliam .rjO0,0U0 Morrow . 200,000 Klickitat 300,000 Total :.. 1,H7.-,,000 Or 50,250 tons or 5.C25 carjloadf. WOOL. Wasco and Klickitat counties 4 -anvilcin Sherman 1,000,000 Gilliam 1,750,000 Morrow 2,000,000 Total 9,550,000 . Or 4,775 tons or 955 car loads. Shipments of cattle for the five coun ties are estimated at 5240 tons or 524 car loads; sheep, 23,330 tons or 2333 car loads ; horses, 1000 toas or 100 carloads ; hogs, 600 tons or (50 car loads ; hides, 800 tons or 80 car loads; lumber and wool, 12,500 tons or 1250 car loads; fish, 1800 tons or ISO car loads ; frpit, 1600 tons or 160 car loads ; vegetables and other products, 1500 tons or 150 car loads, making a total export of 109,305 tons or 11,417 car loads. For general merchandise, agricultural im plements, furniture, etc. the estimate is 5600 tons or 5600 cars; wocd and lum ber, 7000 tons or 1500 cars ; coal 15,000 tons or 1500 cars, making total imports and exports 188,395 tons or 19,217 cars. This estimate does-not of course in clude the through rail traffic nor the traffic of points east of Morrow county. Mr. Huntington's statemeut further shows that the opposition boats have re duced the grain rates, between The Dalles and Portland from $3.40 to $2.20 and the average rate for general mer chandise from $8.00 to $5.50. In three and a half months the portage road and opposition boats have handled about 2100 tons of merchandise at an actual saving of $5250 to consumers. But this is a small part of the gain. During the whole wheat season the price of grain at The Dalles was only about four cents a bushel less than at Portland, while heretofore the difference had been 10 to 10Jn cents. The actual saving therefore to the farmers of Wasco aid Klickitat counties was $33,000 upon wheat and other grains alone, while the saving in other shipments and in passenger fares made a net saving to the people of these counties of five to ten thousand dollars more. The effect of this competition war felt in Sherman county although the producers of that county could not reach the steamboats plying on the river below The-Dalles. But the high price at The Dalles forced the price to some extent in the adjoining counties. The actual loss in wheat by reason of breaking bulk at the Cascades and twice handling there was found to be less than one-tenth of one per cent, a loss ' that is merely nominal. This is a fine showing everyway and a powerful argument for an open river. The editor of the Chrosiclb met a respected citizen of The Dalles on the street this morning who informed him that it was rumored over town that D. M. French had said to the directors of the D., P. & A. Nav. Co., that the com pany owed him $15,000 and that the Regulator would never turn a wheel until it was paid. It is not often that any one with good sense is justified in paying any attention to such reports but as we were assured, many friends of the new boat believed the tale we felt it to be right to interview Mr. French on the subject. His answer was significant: "There is not a 'word of truth in it.- I have not a dollar in the boat beyond my fifty shares of stock. It is easy how ever to know where a story of that kind originated." The Chronicle is authorized to state that the Regulator will certainly start running by Monday the 15th prox. or sooner if things can be got in readiness. The state portage officials have asked for two weeks to complete the lower landing. Both boats are undergoing alterations and repairs which will re quire till near the 15th to complete. Everything will be put in complete equipment so that no ordinary stoppage will be necessary till next winter. Some folks are poking fun at the Chronicle reporter for saying that the grounds around the Joles mansion were now beautified by the presence of "a pair of peacocks a male and a female. Now really all the Chronicle did was to follow a very common usage of the word, army one may see by consulting' Web ster, and apply it to the species instead of the-sex. However the blunder is not half so bad as that made by a country man of the writer who was at one time, and may be yet an alderman for one of the wards of New York City. At a meeting of the council a question came up for beautifying Central Park when a Mr. Murphy arose and said : "Misther President I am jist afther payin' a visit to Yurrip an whin there I spint some time in the city of Venice where I wus mightily token with the beautiful gon dolias that they hiv on the bay and I 'move you sur that we send over for a dozen of them an put them in the Cen tral Park lakes." Before the motion was put our friend arose and said, "I would loike to ax me frind Murphy how much these gondllias would be likely to cost," Mr. Murphy replied that he though they could be laid down in New York for about $200 a piece. "In that case" replied the Irishman I objict to spindin so much money on thim and I move as an amindment that we send for a couple of them, a male and a female, and let nature take its coorse." The county court has followed the suggestion of the Chronicle and made the county levy two miles higher for the purpose of devoting the additional sum to be realized to the making and im proving of our county roads. This will give nearly $6,000 for the purpose, and $6,000 judiciously spent will do an im mense amount of good. Hood River will now get something that precinct has long needed and long deserved. That blot on civilization Tygh Hill road can now he changed and the settlers on Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia obtain a means oi getting to iuart wuu ineir produce. The thing is done. The county court will now ' assuredly help build the road. Let the eettleis get a move on themselves and show that they deserve help. ine viiuoMiLE uem'vra uiut uuveruur McKinley spoke the sentiments of the vast majority of all classes and political creeds west of the Mississippi when he said : "There is one thing that they all might as well make up their minds to down east: That they can't have wool free when it comes from the sheep's back rnd put a tariff on it when it comes on our backs. They cannot have wool come into their factories in New Eng land free, and come out of their factor ies with a tariff to the American people." fl-1 t 1 1! .1 . - The Salem Journal says: The new county printing law is a good one iu its effects. It is spreading before the peo ple the smallest details of county busi ness and expenditure. The people in every county in the state are bting fa miliarized with the aits of the officials. They are being educated as to the dis tribution of public taxes in a most ef fective manner. The loose and careless methods of county expenditures will be remedied somewhat thereby. The Astorians have organized an Anti Jag society and several prominent gen tlemen have joined it, says the Talk. One of the rules of the society is that no member will lie allowed to take a drink of Any intoxicating beverage at his own expense. The society has twenty-five charter members. , The Eugene Guard makes a little kick at the idea of The Dalles getting $100, 000 from the governnynt for a public building. The Guard is needlessly wasting its strength. It will be time enough to kick in earnest when the ap propriation is made. The Chinese suppose that the number of blossoms on a "China lily" indicate the degree of good luck in store for its possessor in the new year. The town of Lebanon in Linn cotiuty has a woolen mill in successful operation that cost $120,000. Experts Disagree a. to a SIOO Kank Note. A $100 bank bill is causing a good deal of discussion among bunk tellers and government officials. As to whether it is good or bad there is a difference of opinion. The bill turned up at the Illinois Trust and Savings bank a few days ago. Tell er Cooper thought it a good bill 'and showed it to other experts. It purported to have been issued by the First National bank of Boston. To settle the question the bill was taken to the subtreasury. Receiving Teller Schoeninger pronouncd it bad and punched the word counterfeit in it as is customary. There are few counterfeit $100 bank bills known to be in existence, and that of the First National of Boston is one of the best. In $100 bank bills, at the left is a picture of Commodore Perry and his men in a rowboat on Lake Erie just as the commodore is about to utter the memorable words, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." In gen nine bills water is seen to be dripping from both sides of an oar suspended above the water. In the counterfeits the water drips' from only one side of the oar blade. The bill in question had a drip on only one side, it is claimed, al though the bill was bo much worn that it was difficult to determine that point. It was the main point on which Mr. Schoeninger bases his decision. Tellers generally think the bill is good in spite of the decision of the receiving teller of the subtreasury. It has been sent to Washington for a final decision. Chicago Tribune.
