The boys who thoughtlessly exploded bomb al the door of the hank bond ing Monday night should remember that iu this dry windy weather there ia great danger of lire and that it is not right to jnopardine their uuighlior't impcrty by such reckless pranks. The amli mi with which thexe bombs me wiapped ia vety comhiiHtubla and often lajniH until it, is entirely c i untuned af ter the cxpbifinu.

D nil try such tricks iigaiu boys, they are risky and danger ous. Complaint has been made by many if the teachers who attended Iho re cent examination here thai the exam ination waa uur-anonalily severe, and s'olor given their atatem 'iila by Hid fact that nine out of seventeen wdo took the examination failed to get a certificate, which we believe is an un usual result, especially since it is re Uiumlwred that ail but two of the ap plicauta wero experienced teachers and nearly all of them graduated colleg iana. However, s me very good show ings were made by mnuy who could nor Average, and failure to pass ao severe on examination cannot be umhI as an argument against their ability to in etrunl In the ordinary branches taught in our public schools. A gentleman who has just returned from visit to the Toutle river coun try, in Washington, rejKirta having een some very rich gold mines in that vicinity. At a point sixty miles eaat of To e lo, on the Cowliis river, several good locations have been made and niinera to the number of one hundred aro now at work on them developing and taking out what bullion they can with the primitive appliances at their command. One miner returned to Toledo last week with twenty dollars in dust whioh he had taken nut of the rock with an ordinary hammer. It lias long been thought that this coun try contained valuable miner 1 depos its, but not until the present season lias it attracted more than usual at tention. The country is also said to contain splendid coal deposits some of which are said to be genuine anthracite, but this is hardly creditable since that country is the result of volcanic action of comparatively t'ecent dale which fact would disprove the existance of heavy-weight couls. That country how ever, has also, immense timber re courses which at no distant date will prove a wonderful source of revenue to the state. This country is easily reached by steamer to Toledo, from which point a wagon road has been opened to within five miles of the new mining ramp, where a trail is taken in to the mines. Monday night about J. o'clock two well known young men of this place decided to have some sport at the ex pense of Jack Dunlap aud George An drews, who room in the bank building, by creating the impression that. bur glars were blowing the big safe open. Accordingly they purchased the big gest Chinese bomb they could find and flifipUy epproaphing the front pf fae building where the safn staml. ihcv touched the bomb off and took to their mieia. When it went off Jack and George were asleep but were rudeily .t,u,;,4 ,rom ineir siiiinoers tiy the ' rj-iivuiiu expiurion ami raising up hi ouuir ouu niuy tat alaring at eucli other in blank aniaieemuiit evidently ryinir to discover bv a di criiHtinirlv low mental procoaa whether the Mon terey had come back to aee u in charKC of a hostile crew, or whether the free silver bill bad pasaed congrena and ita friunda were celebrating the event all mine Fourth of July. At hut (Jeorge auggeabed in a faint wliia pur that poasibly aomcone wua trying to blow Iho aufo open but Jack aaaured liim that It waa the new comet which came monkeying around too close to the Cuacadea and had knocked four towimhipe off the top of Mount Bt. Helena und tliat thuy liad tipped over on top of the new opera bouae and annulled the windows. Hut (Jeorge jioraiated, and hastily aiming them selves with a Winchester, a pair of handcuffs and two savage looking revol vers thuy sullied fourtli to gobble up the festive burglar. JJy the time they readied the front door (heir disturbers could be faintly seen fading away hi the distanco near the front enlir.'uco to the Oriental .hotel, - Jack tried to draw a bead with the Winchester but it seemed to have euddcnlv got vio lent attack of I lie jerks and kicked him til the nose several ti nea before he could set ita nerves quieted. George wanted to follow the fleeing burglnia but Jack, in bis hurry to get out of (lie room had neglected to put any thing 011 except a collar button and a pair of sleeveless socks, and his extreme mwdisiy foibid him appear ing on the street even at tlie dead, of night in audi an airy costume. George was also in the last staees of nothing to wear so they decided to bar the door ami light the lump mid take turna at sitting up till morning. Jack's turn to sit up came tlrst and giving George double dose of soothing syrup to quiet his nerves, ho rat down in a big rocker ii ml went to sleep before George did and dreamed that Evans and Boning bad captured the Oluirlston and Hai ti nun e and had atarted nut to help the king ol Hiuni lick l'rance but had Hindu a niistuke and got into the Co lumbia river. Important to teachers One important result to the teachers of this county, of the recent examina tion, wse the correct understanding of the law governing the Issuing of cer tificates. One or two teachers who ap plied fur certillcales here held cerlifl- CHicgof the same or higher grade in other counties and were much disap pointed to leu r n that they were not en titled t a ccrtincute at all unless it w is oue of a higher grade llniu any tlicy had previously held. This coo m ruction of the law by the examin ing board, ca need no little dissatisfac tion among the teachers, and to seUle the iimltr tlie board wrote S'ipt. Mc Klmy defining ita action and attking his opinion. Ilia reply has been re ceived and conllrma the dechion ot tin) hoard. The intent of the law is obvious. A teacher may steadily ad vmioo in his profession and uuder the law, is entitled firrt to the three lower law, is entitled lirrt to the three lower grade-, then a statu diploma and linally a lile diploma, afut which he is not required to take the examinations. If, fo example, a teacher holding a sec olid g i ado certitlcuie in Multnomah county nhould apply for and receive a like grade iu tins county, be would iiiiiko no advancement in his ca'lling, and could go ou teaching iiidclinitely iu tliid aud other comities without either the schools or himself being iu anywise benefitted by his experience. 'J'he object of llli" law, then-lore, is to re piire steady progress and advance meul of the teacher, and appears to be wise and equitable. New Us me laws. At the late session of the state leg islature several changes were made in (lie game law with which the general public do not seem to be thoroughly acqtiajnted. In order to rightly inform our readers regarding some of the ox istiug laws we append a few para graphs from the session laws of 1893: Hee.tion 7 Every person who shall, within the state of Oregon, . sell, ex change, or oiler for sale or exchange, for money or anything of value, or shall take or kill for sale, or have in poss saiou for sale or exchange, any gratis, pheasant, quail, riugnecked or China pheasant, silver pheasant.golden iiheiuani.copptT phasHut,greon Japan- esa pliesa nt, quail or bob-white, Jack snipe, or prarie chicken, shall be guilty of misdemeanor, anu upon con viction shall be punished aa provided hereafter, provided, however, that it shall be lawful to sell or take, or kill for atle, any of those birds heroin be fore enumerated during the period commencing uotelier lotn oi eacu year and ending November 15, of the sh me year, excopt as Herein alter pro vided in section twelve of this act. Hw. 9 It shall be unlawful to sell, or offer for sale, or have in possession for sale, within the state of Oregon, except during the mouths ot Novem ber or December ot eacu year, any ot the various kiuds of wild ducks, Geese, or swan. Seo. 10 Tt shall be unlawful to sell, or orler for sale, or have in possession for salo. within the state of Oregon, except during the months of Septem ber and uctouur oi eacn year, any oi the various kinds of trout. Seo. one of an act approved Feb. 21, 1891, is ammonded to read as follows: It shall bo unlawful, within the state of Oregon, to kill or destroy any prairie chicken, riugnecked Mongolian pneas ant, or any of the various kinds of pheasant imported Into this state, or any quail, bob-white, or pheasant in that part of the state lying east of the Cascade mountains, except during the month of July, August and September of each year. Persons found guilty of violating these laws will be subject to a fine of not lues than fifteen nor more than one hundred dollars, in default of which they shall be confined in the county jail one day for each two dol lars thereof. One half the fines collooted shall be paid to the Informer. Justices of the peace shall have com curent jurisdiction lit oUenooa Here with (lfineq Hank Failure. The record given herewith shows that forty-three national banks sus pended payments temporarily or per nautly, dunng the first half of the year, owing, as nearly aa could be as certained, about 1123,100,900, aud re porting $23,429,000 assets. The num ber of state banks similarly situated was seventy-two, with $15,865,000 lia bilities and $14,599,000 assets; saving banks twenty, with $0,170,000 liabili ties and $0-402,000 assets; loan and trust companies four, with $12,765,000 debts and $5,850,000 assets. Eighty private banks and bankers with liabil ities amounting to $9,383,000 and as sets to $8,038,000. There were also five mortage loan and inventmcntcom panics reported embarrassed, with $1, 090,000 of debts and $120,000 assets, while eight brokers in securities were forced to suspend, owing $1,603,000 and having easels of $092,000. Brad streets. DEKIi INLAND. Roads dry anil dusty. Quite a pleasant shower last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. II. English are rus ticating at the seaside for a couple of weeks.

They have also a fine field of peas which they are reaping at present. Horgron Bros, sawmill on the Clats- kauie river Is running with order way ahead. Rainicr's sawmill on the Clatskanie river, is running at present. W. I). Cunuell commenced haying last week. We took a trip to the head of Oak Ranch creek a few days ago. The country is quite broken but well wa tered, and heavily timbere with red, white and yellow fir, cedar, hemlock, maple and alder. The cedar, maple and alder is quite valuable and can be handled at a profit even at such a long haul. The hemlock does not grow to much size and all the value it has is its bark which is used for tan ning leather, but none of this has yet been shipped. At present considera ble cedar is sawed on the Clatskanie river abntu nine miles west of here, and hauled out to the railroad for the Portland market, but the dullness of the market ut present makes it not very profitable. But speaking of val uable linfber, the red and yellow fir of this region will make some mans pocket bulge out with wealth. We could not help but compare the ele phantine size, the lady-like form (such a long waist, you know) of those trees, to the timber we have seen used in some of the middle and eastern states, and also those of the marine prov ince of Canada. There, trees are used and sawed into lumber that only makes one lug twelve feci long and eighl inches in diameter at the top, and even smaller, while hero a tree of that size would only be used as a handspike. The average size is about fifty inclivs in diameter and we are satis fied thai a great majority of them are 200 feet without a limb and thirty in .elies in diameter. The soil is of a good quality -for agricultural purposes, anil we are shown what wheat, barley and other cereals will do-equal to any up laud, and mine of it classes well with the lowlands. Vegetables seem to take well with the ground, and gardens are so well advanced as they are anywhere. All kinds of crops are an average. The settlers are a thrifty class of people, and from about all nations of the globe, with the ex ception of China, who "need not ap ply." , ' RKUBEX..

"I used to be fond of poker'' he said, and the expression on his faoe became retrospective, "but sense I got four aces downed out in Missoury I hev sorter gin up playin' the game." "Your opponent had a straight flush, did he?" -"No, he had five jacks." "That's impossible." "Stranger hev you ever played po ker in Missoury?" "No sir." "Well, if you ever set down in a game out there, and a red-eyed man, whose clothes smell of cattle, quietly whittles a corner off the' table with a bowie knife, aud allows that he hex five jacks, just bunch yer kiards in the pack and say, 'That's good,"' Mrs. G.

There are some berry pickers cimped on Spring creek, but we fear they will not get many berries as that fruit is not so plentiful there as last year.
