The Tilluniook Herald, I ant week aaid : "The people of the aouth part of the county evidently want a plank road pretty bad, having made a proposition to Commissioner Kay that they will pre pare the road bed, haul and lay the plank for a diatance of about 14 mile if the county will furninli the lumber. Thoae people deserve good roada, and if we had our way about it we would cloae the dual with them tomorrow," A meeting of the county judge of all, or nearly all. the eountie of the atate will be held at Portland on July 12. The idea of the meeting was (I ret ad vanced by Judge Uray. of Glalsop county, and has met with favor all over the ataU). The purpoao of the meeting 1 to aecure an agreement on property valua tion, to the end that each county may pay it juit proportion of the atate taxea. At preaent dome of tiie counties pay more than their jutt proportion of taxea, other placing their property valuation at a very low figure and escape paying what really 1 due from them. Mia Leah Wilson, who ha taught the I Ion I ton et'bool for aevoral months, was tendered a farewell social by her friends in this citv last Saturday evening at Muaonic hull. The occaiiion was a well planned and carrlud-out surprise for Mia Wilson, the friends having pre viously gathered at the hall, when ahe was invited in. Upon her arrival, Mr. Uray, in behalf of the members of the church and choir and numerous Iriends, presented her with a handsome combi nation prayer book and hymnal. The evening was very pleasantly spent, and friend joined in wishing Miss Wilson abundant luccosa in life in now field of labor. j The town this week ba been overrun witli school teachers, and besides attend ing to duties incumbent upon them in attending the Institute, their presence haa been quite noticahle upon our street and in places of amusement aa well aa instruction. They are a jolly crowd, to say the least, and upon their departure the old, commonplace, humdrum of every day life will regain it hold on our town, which will be like a calm after a atorni. The strictest attention luis been paid to oducational matters, not only en grossing tho attention of the teovliurs, but enlisting the attention and assist ance of many of our citizen. The only fact to le lamented 1 that the Institute cannot be held in our city every year. flneak thieve are operating In St. Holensagnin, to the discoiuforture of our citizens. The hen roost and clothesline In the back yard of Jamea Sheldon's residence were viaited last Saturday night, resulting in the loas of aevoral hens and a blooded rooster, and numerous arti cles of wearing apparel, which, unfortu nately, had been left hanging on tho clothesline. Jamo says he la satisfled tho thief la not particularly clean about hi person, however he took numerous Sain of sox and a couple of an its of un erwear, there were towel and napkin in endless quantities, but their taking would indicate cleanliness. The sox are electrified and James say the fellow who stole them will be Inflicted with all aorta of physical aa well a mental pun ishment. Mr. Jame Muckle informed a Mist reporter one day last week that a soon aa the river fell sufficiently to permit of starting the work, the sawmill at this place will be repaired and started in operation. It haa been about six year since any business waa done in that es tablishment, and the people of the town will hall with no small degree of satis faction the annoucement that the mill will again be operated. Mr. Muckle states that employment will be given to a crew of thirty or thirty-five men. and it is confidently expected that business enough can be secured to keep the plant running constantly. Tho starting of the mill mark renewed business activity for this place, and tho announcement of Mr. Muckle's intention to resume oper erations ut the mill will bo hailed with much satisfaction. If people should put themselves in a newspapor man' place they would find out that an attendance upon various kinds of entertainmont etc., night after night, Is not by any mean a source of pleasure, as some, perhaps, might think it to be. A the constant dropping of water will wear the stone away, so does the duty aa a business make itself burdensome in a greater or loss degree, when followed tip fc.r the purpose of makinn ronorts. It i duty undertaken that the publie may know what la going on. It 1 not customary for an editor to accept ticket of any kind a an equiva lent for advertising, although tickets to any and all entertainments are paid for several times over by the notices given of such In the columns. Tickots to all entertainments are considered aa marks ol courtesy, and help toward preparing a good account of the programme ren dered. Such courtoHieBare never forgot ten by those from out of town who give an entertainmont of any kind. The public always gets its free ahure of ad vertising, and tho newspaper man ia under no obligations (or favors of t h ia kind, neither ia there a niiHtnko over made In rnniumtiei'lng that they aro due him in every case.

When you notice a man dlrcinff in the garden very slowly, stopping often to rest, and making free use of cuss words, It' safe to aay hi wife persuaded him to do the work; but if he is dig ging like a good fellow, whiatllnir a uoo- ular air, and never stopping to reat, lie's after worm for bait. Ex. Tho steamer Sarah Dixon arrived down from Portland Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock, bringing about 800 per sons, member of Trinity Sunday school of Portland.

St. Melon people are beginning to talk already of aummer outing in the mountains and at the beach, but if sum mer does not come pretty soon it will be too lata to think of shady groves, ice cold water and refreshing sea breeses. The mere mention of a summer outing at preaent i enough to cause a chill to creep down one' spinal column. Hut condition may change there' a possi bility that such will lie the case when present dream may ba realized. Last fall I sprained my loft hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight atrain and would soon be well, but it ?:rew worse and the doctor then said I iHii rheumatism. It continued to grow worse, and 1 could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Cham herluin's Pain Palm.

Tho ladies of the city organized an ex cursion of their own, "joined the Knights" on the trip to Kalama took along their own lunch, and had a thor oughly enjoyable timo. Tho Kalama Knights, as ia their custom, "put the work on" In a very creditable manner, after which the visitors from Ht. Helena.

At a little after 8 o'clock Friday morning the excursionists arrived home, satisfied with their visit and outing. The successful operation of creameries or skimming station at different point throughout our county offer to the people an important object lesion, and one they should profit by and encourage. Thia county is acknowledged to be un surpassed in adaptability to dairying and capacity to support livestock. In nearly every quarter of the United Slates farmer are becoming more favor ably impressed with the operation of the creamery as a mean to promote the dairy industry.

Large Attendance and Intense Inter est Manifested. The twelfth annual and mostlntonsely Interesting meeting of teachers ever held in uoiumma county on an occasion of an institute waa convened In thi city Mon day morning of thl week by Superin tendent Conoland, at the schoolhouse. For the first time in the history of county institutes in this county there were enough teacher present upon the opening to enaoie tne ciaaa to tie organ ized and the work proceeded with from the first. The attendance increased daily until nearly sixty teacher were enrolled, and from the first the greatest interest waa manifested. It is matter for hourly comment that never before waa there such an intel lectual body of educator congregated at one time and place within the county's ooruers aa mat meeting Here tms week Prof. W. A. Wetzel 1, of Portland, who has charge of the class work, stated to a Mist reporter that the responses to question were surprising in their cor rectness and the number of voice re sponding. The work Is just now at it highest point of interest, being participated in by nearly every active teacher in the county. Prof. Whitten, of Olatskanie, stated that the high character of the teachers in attendance this year was re markable. The old log-cabin, slab-bench element of teachers seemed to have fallen by the wayside in the race for supremacy , indicating the degree of per fection to which our schools have at tained. Better teachers, meaning a a matter of fact, a higher degree of edu cation. The management of the insti tute has been very fortunate in securing peaker of renown for evening occaiiona. consisting of President Hawley, of Salem, for Monday evening, who spoke at length upon the highly interesting subject of "The Speaker of the National House of Representatives." It 1 need les to say that President Hawley han dled the subject in a manner which could not be equaled Tuesday even ing' feature of the institute was an ad dress by Rev. Dr. Kellogg, of the Taylor ITOl .UUlflUUIMb cuurcii Ol lortianu, upon the subject: "Man i the Great est Thing on Earth." The Congrega tional church was crowded with eager listeners to the discourse, which waa highly entertaining. Monday evening's session opened at the church by an address of welcome by Rev. Mr. Huley, who spoke kindly and pleasantly to the teacher and visitor and assured them their presence waa ap- &reciateu ana tnetr purpose applauded, r. Alfred Cleveland, of Astoria, a grad uate of the State University, responded to the word of welcome in a few well chosen, appropriate remarks, followed by a vocal solo by Mr. F. H. Gray, of Portland. Besides the address by Rev. Mr. Kel logg Tuesday evening, other features of the entertainment was a recitation by Mi.. M.w.k n( Un.ll.nJ a ..I, k. Ml.. Jones, of Clatskanie, and a recitation by Miss nil), of Rainier. Each ol tlie three numbers were ably rendered and well received. Professor Wetzell, aa a class leader, is proving a grand success, and a favorite among the teachers. His methods of instruction are simplified though perfect in everv detail. Prof. Wetzell ha con ducted the class work of the institutes of this county for four years and has be come a fixture. Wednesday eveninz's session of the instituto was a decidedly entertaining as well as instructive one. A number of songs by the congregation were ren dered, a recitation by Miss Wetle, fol lowed by a solo by Miss Jones. Miss Monk tlien favored tlie audience witli another of her choice recitations. The speaker of the evening, Prof. Wetzell, laiing then introduced, delivered a moat highly entertaining and instructive lec ture to teachers and parents. The pro fessor's experience in school work en ables him at all times and upon all oc casions to impart information and advice which all parents and school pa trons should hear, it la a fact to tie deplored that more parents were not out to hear Prof. Wetxell's remark. The teacher will be given a moon light ride on the river by tlie citizens this (Friday) evening. The steamer America ha been chartered lor the pur pose, and a delightful time will un doubtedly be had. i r . ... n. i i leiuw is giveu m list 01 lue leaciivrs in attendance, together with the loca tion of their school : Myrtle F.
