Bemi-weekly Tuesday and Friday eight pagee each issue eixteen pages every week only one dollar a year, is unquestionably the biggest, best and cheapest national news journal pub lished in the United Bute. Strictly republican in politics it still gives all the news, and gives it at least three days earlier than it can be bad from any weekly paper published anywhere. It ie indispensable to the farmer, merchant or professional man who de eiree to keep thoroughly and prom ply posted, but has not the time to read a large daily paper; while its great var iety of well eolucted reading matter makes it invaluable as a heme family paper.

The meeting was fairly well atteuded and the result eeemed satisfactory. Every person should be Interested in good schools, and a special tax should not be con sidered a burden it the money ie prop erly expenrica in the betterment of duoational facilities. A position as a member of the school board is usually considered of little importance, and therefore few people are willing to eerve in that capacity. This ie a mis take. In the management of our common eohool system is laid the very foundation of our perpetuity as a na tion, and the board of direotore should be composed of our most thoreugb business men.

The log wae rolling and eliding endwiee at the eame time, and when it reached the unfortunate man's jaw it tore a long gash In his neck, and almost pealed the flesh from his face. The man is. thought not to be injured internally. Dr. Cliff was summoned ss hastily as possible and dressed the wounds, tak ing several stitches in different places and nsing the surgeons' knife freely, during all of whioh time the sufferer never murmured, neither bad he taken any stimulant. The doctor is of the opinion that if the log had gone half an inch further it would have proven fatal, but ss it is his chanoee for re covery are reasonably good.

By reason of the laulement weather the trip up from this place was anything but pleasant, ana also considering the weaiber there was a fair sited audience in attendance. The night was dark and the roads very muddy, but these two elements to gether with a downpour of rain did not prevent about 100 people witness ing the performance. Through the kindness of Mrs. J. G. Watts sad Mrs. D. W. Prloe the visitors were well taken care of from the time of their arrival until 8 o'clock when the cur tain rained. Musio was furnished by Messrs. N. A. Perry, W. T.

College Prbsidbbt Laid OuT.-The Hon. U. B. Miller, president of the Oregon Agricultural College at Cor vallis, two weeks ago aided end abetted a boycott on certain business men of Corvallis because they did not agree with his "able" management of that institution.

Fred Yates, a lawyer of that elty, who laid the president out in the first round. Every dsy proves more conclusively that Mr. Miller would be a greater success la the sawmill busi ness than as president of a college. . A Coimcidbmcb.
