any weekly paper published anywhere.
It ie indispensable to the farmer,

Special School Meetimo. A spec

city lent Friday evening at whloh time
a ft-mill tea wae voted for the purpose
ot liquidating a part of the iudebted
nese of the district. 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.

Ox thb Road. The local drsmatlo
company of this city made its seeond
appearance iu the play "Among the
Breakers" at Soappoose last Saturday
night. 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. Watts and
Miss Maud Watts. Several of the
company returned home by train after
Hie show was ovsr. Those who at
tempted to make the return trip by
wagon had a serious time of it iu the
dark. For further particulars con
cerning the homeward journey by
wagon we refer our readers to Peter

entertainment will be applied to the

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. The boycott failed in
effeot, as it should have done. Last
week Hon. Harry undertook to have
publlo sentiment bis way by force, but
ran up against a snag in the person
of Mr. J. 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. .

We are sorry indeed tbat our answer to
the',Wbizzer's" criticism was so seriously
taken. We did not Intend to hurt any
one's feeling. In fact ws did not think cur
retort on grammar more severe than the
way in which we were criticised en or
thography. However, we humbly beg the
pardon of Miss Annie English and hope
tbe article in question bad nothing to do
In causing the resignation of her position
as editress. We do not claim to make no
mistakes. We make many of tbem and
often deserve criticism, and we simply
thought the notes would attract tbe atten
tion of the pupils in the various schools of
Columbia county, and thus inspire enthusi
asm on educational topics, but for tbe fa
ture ws shall try and avoid such criticisms
as we find tbey are at times productive of
unkind feelings. We beg tbe privilege of
asking our friend In tbe last issue of the
"Wbizser" if be thinks the editorial that
so severely takes us to task was written in
a gentlemanly manner, and is It not a fact
that a little of its animus would reflect to
the writer of said editorial f
