That among those for whom patents to
lands In Columbia county nave wen ls
aued and received at the land office at
Oregon City we find the name of the
following persons: Kmil J.Menke, John

That it is no time to be idle nowT
Good health and digestion wait on out

few matches will get away with much
unsightly stuff about the back yard.
The thrift of a place In judged by itrang
ers from the qeat appearance of the

That some person may be confused
by reading cabled account of the light
ing In the Philippines dated several
hour ahead of time, but it must be re
membered the ditferenre in longitude
represents a difference of 14 hour in
time. Thus readers of morning papers
may be informed of events that took
place in the Philippine as late a 11
o'clock on the day of publication.
That there are a few people in every
community, sometimes business men.
too, who expect their local paper to stand
by them and their Interest upon any
and all occasions, and yet If the editors
of said paper could live on s dollar a
year and depended on any one of them
lor half the amount, cash down, they
would Bnd it necessary to suspend in
order to exist.
That report show that many farmer
who have but few potatoes this year are
being lured by the high price in plant
ing a larger amount. We all know what
this means. It i cheap potatoes next
full. But no farmer who has planted
potato should m-glect them, a an un
favorable season may cut the crop short,
and even if it doe not, potatoes are good
cheap stock feed that will pay for raising.
That one of oar humorous exchange
tell of the three stingiest men on record,
a follows? The first will not drink water
unless It comes from a neighbor' well ;
the second fordid his family to write
any but a small hand as It waste ink to
make large letter ; the third atop the
clock at nighc to lave the wear and tear
of the machinery, and all of them refuse
to take the newspnperon the ground tlmt
it 1 a terrible strain on their spectacles
to read.
That Sliding mountain, just below
Cascade, as a good many know, ha for
year been literally sliding toward the
Columbia T It moved on an average of
four feet a year, and the roadbed waa
continually pushed out of place. With
view to (topping the glacial action of
thi mighty mountain, aeveral O. R. &
N. officials last summer scaled the peak.
Back of it they found a couple of lake
with no outlet. The water from these
lake undoubtedly seeped through the
earth which probably rested on slanting
late rock, and in this manner propelled
the earth downward. The lake were
Immediately drained, since which time
the mountain has not budged an inch.
That for the purpose of making the
school work in the state more uniform,
Profeseor . H. Ackerman, state super
intendent of public instruction, is pre
paring a course of study that must be
adopted in all the school of the state?
Power to make such regulation i con
ferred upon the state board of-education
by the legislature, and upon Professor
Ackerman, as head of the schools, de
volves this work. While the laws have
always prescribed the text-books that
shall be used in the schools there has
been nothing done in the past to require
uniformity in the coursesof study. Only
city schools have had the benefit of sys
tematic work in this direction, and this
by reason of the fact that special powers
have been conferred upon city boards of
education. Professor Ackerman hopes
to complete his system in time for the
opening of the fall term of school.
Dedicated the Church.
Last Sunday the new Methodist church
at Houlton was dedicated under such
pleasing circumstances that the people
.of Iloulton in particular, and those who
attended the services should be proud.
Work on the building started several
months ago, but dragged wearily along
until quite recently, when a new ambi
tion seemed to reinstate itself and the
completion of the building was brought
about speedily. Bev. Elder Que con
ducted the services throughout, raising
about 1300 during the day. The pastor,
Mr. Haley, has been an industrious
worker in the cause of the new building,
and much credit i due him for perslst
ent effort. The building is a credit to
the town, in fact would be a credit to
any place, and Houltou i to be congrat
ulated on the acquisition.

spirit of enterprise among the inhabi
tants to hustle a petition and get suffic
ient signers to warrant the court to act
upon granting a tax to build a good
plank road that distance, and that law
being on the statutes four or five years
and no action taken, who could be en
couraged to come to such slowness and
indinerence.
