THAT llOCK CHEEK BCHOOL.
Kiasiy, Oregon, Oct. 29, 1804.
Editors Mist: Thst attack upon this
choi! district and board of directors that
appeared two weeks since In your paper is
known lieie to be the work of au irrespon
sible person wbo would not be worth re
plying to but for the fact that your paper
having a large circulation over the entire
county, many outsiders may De led to oe
Ueve that our district Is a disgrace to Ore
gon, if they elect such men as we were re
ported to be. 8o in defense of our district
I am reluctantly compelled to take notice
of it. .
Aa to the first charge "that school boards
are apt to do dishonorable things in order
to a-nln notoriety ."which "Citizen" makes
I will bv that I don't know whether school
directors will do more dishonorable things
ti .Timet nntnrietv than folks ronnectea
with the United States mail or other public
office; neither do I caie. But I do know
that we hired Miss build to tench our
ehnnl and ahe save as aood saUfnction aa
the average young teacher. When her
time was up w found we could get an older
and better teacher, ana as we nau prouimeu
Mias Oulld nothing further than for what
she was hired, we surely had a right to do.
Aa for her renuiauon.wenave never srrearn
onlv well of her. But if ber indiscreet
frixnd .Citizen." makes any more such
charges as the one about her failing to keep
ber contract with the iiilamooK scnooi.ii
will not do either ot them any pood; ana l
fail tn what that has to do with us di-
r,.M,ir. in Ih. llnrlc Creek district. I will
ay, however, that I don't believe Miss
Guild ever broke any contract, for in her
letter accepting tbe actiool uere sne mane
no mention of it, but simply says she
answers our letter ana accepts our scnooi
immediately upon receipt ol our letter iena
ering her the same. As to her being an
TxninlarT christian." we have no doubt;
but either Citizen" has been vacoinated or
else it ain't catehin'.
An in makinur a change in oruer to acorn
modal a distant relative and settler here
of that aa one of the inci
dental advantages to be gained, believing
in protection to workingmen, and that the
money spent In Improving the valley and
helping settlers here is bettor than If sent
outside to another county. I am ever
ready to practice what I preach, and that
la one of the principal reasons f consented
to give the scnooi ot tbe start to this same
correspondent, who now apreads scandal
about us, who art ber mends ana neignoora.
But she failed to aian a contract and teach
nr Milinnl for reasons wa know, and ah
fails to give. And I still fail to see the
crime in following out this idea because in
rilrM.ltf tJm hAtilTtn heln a relative.
Now as to the main point. Our laat
teachor ia the beat we have ever had in the
district. Every parent who had children
attending are well sntlHfled. Not one word
of complaint has been made by anyone
whn haa Tinited the school. There is not
district In the state where all are better
suiten in every way with regard to school
methods than are the people of the Hock
Creek school. But we are not perfect-
there is one "orazfir that prevents it.
Nnw. in conclusion, let me sav that I al
ways get along well with my neighbors by
frnntlm. Indies will) the resnect due them.
When dealing with gentlemen I treat them
as such, but a "citizen,"' abl the citieen is
something new, and ierhaps one too many
for mo.
Inspecting to end matters so fur as 1 am
concerned, I am respectfully, ono of the
directors of school district No. 27,
A Deer In thn Breakers.
A novel deer hunt was Indulged in
by the steamer Koberts laat Sunduy,
while waiting at the mouth of the
Siualaw for the schooner Mayflower
to come, says the' Yakima news. A
doer was observed running down to
the water. It plunged in and started
to swim across the stream. The tug
gave chase and soon caught up with
the animal, but all attempts to lasso
it were prevented by the high wind and
heavy awell. After many fruitless at
tempts at capture the deer got into
shoal water and escaped, much to the
chagrin of it pursuers,

How the fire started is best told by Hpen-

ing," said he, "I went to the kitchen, which
is at tbe head of the stairs, to get my luncn-
. I lighted a coaloil lamp, and then I
beard a noise downstairs, and went to see

A New Steamboat.
Portland, Oct. 29. The Oregon Railway
Navigation Company has ordered the
material and will at once have work com
menceil on the construction of a steamer to
take the place of the Willamette Chief,
which was burned un the ways where she
wa being repaired, at the time the elevator
waa destroyed. Hhe will be 164 feet between
periiendiculars, 81 feet beam and 5 feet
depth of hold. Bhe will carry 275 tons.
with a draught of VA feet, and when light
will draw IS inches. It sounded like old
times to hear an Oregon Railway & Navi
gation Company official say yesterday,
She will be built at our yard by P. Cars-
tens, oar boat-builder." It has been so
long since the company was in the business
of building boat that some have forgotten
where their boatyard is, but tbe boneyard
ia In evidence ratber permanently. How
ever, all that will soon be changed and new
boats will take the place of old ones.
Out and Mashed to Pieces.
Pzkdlitow, Oct. 30. Napoleon B. Stover,
an engine-wiper, fell before an engine thi
evening which waa detached from the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation freight train
The body was carried 1. feet, where it was
left by the freight engine. The Portland-
bound passenger tram pulled in and. tbe
engine ran over the body twice, going to
and coming up from the yard. Conductor
Miller, of the passenger train, was told by
yard employe that a hat and broken
lantern bad been found. He searched and
discovered the body, literally crushed to a
pulp. The trunk of the body was nearly
cut in two at tbe hips. Fragments were
picked up along the track for the whole
distance it was dragged. No less than 100
pieces were found. Stover had been em
Dtoved here six years. He left a widow
and seven children. Coroner Klniery itn
mediately empaneled a Jury, which ren
dered a verdict in accordance with these
facts.
Floating Dangers.
Coasting captains and seagoing men gen
erally are much worried on account of tbe
vast number of piles afloat along the coast
from the big raft and in the old Lucas
abandoned a few days ago. They say the
piles are more dangerous than rocks,
pecially to steamers, and characterize tbe
scheme for towiog a raft of pilea to San
Francisco at this season as idiotic If the
raft had been made np in the winter and
started out in the spring, it might bave
been towed to Ban Francisco, successfully
It is probable that the next congress will be
asked to make a law preventing attempts
of thia kind in the future, and forbidding
any one from going to sea with rafts or
anything else over which they cannot
maintain some control. The piles are not
likely to remain long a menace to naviga
tion as they will soon be added to tbe vast
pile of drift which lines the coast of Oregon.
Many Times Told.
An exchange says the following hap
pened In a little town in Southern Illinois
In a section where the farmers alliance is
strong, and a lodge of that organization
exists in tbe town and meets on Monday
nights :
There is only one lodge room in the town
and on Tuesday nights it is occupied by the
Knights of Pythias lodge.
The president of one of the oonnty sub-
alliances came to town one day. He bad
visited the town alliance, and when be saw
lights in the lodge rpoiu concluded he
would go over and condole with the
brethren. He gave the proper knock at th
outer door The wicket was raised, and
an ear was placed at it to hear the password
"I Dlow. I hoe. I spade," whispered the
Alliance man. The ear waa replaced by an
eve. and it In turn gave place to a mouth
which yelled in reply :
"The hell you do!" and the wicket
dropped with a bang. The indignant farm'
er shortly afterward met a brother, to
whom be told his tale of woe.
"Why, dad blame It!" wa th sharp
comment of th brother, "them's Knighta
of Pythias, and you've given em our pass
word."
"Dogged it I ainH," was the response
"but (brighteuing up), durn 'em, i've got
