Superintendent Copeland is receiving
many inquiries about the apportionment
of school money required under the new
law to be made the first Monday in July,
to which he is responding with the in
formation that there being only 6 in
the county treasury belonging to the
school fuud, there will be no apportion
ment made this month. Some of the
districts would receive perhaps, 3 cents
should the apportionment be proceeded
with. The apportionment heretofore
mads In the month of August will not
be made this year until October. This
will include the state school fund and
whatever amount there may be on hand
belonging to the county fund.
The school board of this district (No. 2)
held meeting on Thursday of last week,
and besides transacting other business,
elected the teachers for the fall term of
school. There were many applicants
for the principalahip, and from the
number, the name of Mr. Alfred Cleve
land was chosen. Mr. Cleveland is a
young man, with perpana, not great
deal of experience, but is graduate of
the State University at Eugene, and
comes nigly recommended. Airs. S. S.
Way was elected to teach the primary
department. Both teachers were elected
for three months. The date for school
to begin haa not been decided upon.

Mnmtnv In the direction of the
mountain, and finding themselves but
ighteen miles from Portland, the proj

oity made barely In time to witness the
nryotechnlo display at that place. At
least it is said that these are the facts.
The Oregon volunteers are scheduled
to arrive at San Francisco on the 14th
of this month, hence the exact date fqr
their arrival at the mouth of the Colum
bia depends entirely upon how long they
are kept in quarantine at the California
harbor. Their arrival here will be made
the occasion of much excitoment and
celebration. The greatest marine par
ade ever witnessed on this coast will be
had on the Columbia and Willamette
i mm wimn the bova arrive. The
nnMmnnt for their reception has
ml th services of forty or more
steamboats that will meet at St, Helens
and accompany the transports on to
Portland. The arrival of the soldiers
may be looked for about the 20th of the
month.

THI SUPERINTENDENT,
Factor In Huooessful Institute-net-
ter Itesolta Hereafter.
The teachers have come and gone, and
the town, the citizens and the touchers
are much bttnelllted for their having
been here. Especially can it be said
that Superintendent Copeland acquitted
himsuK wrth great credit in the conduct
of the institute and the treatment of all
matters connected with it. He is a seal
ous worker in nil matters pertaining to
educational affairs, and It was due en
tirely to his earnest effort that ao large
an attendance on the Institute was had
and the intense interest manifested.
The good results of the recently enacted
law whereby county school superintend
ents will hereafter be elected to a four
yeur tenure of ollioe whs mode manifest
at the Institute held here lost weuk.
There is no doubting the question but
what the month of June is the bent time
of the year to hold the institute. Teach
ers are more actively employed at that
season than any other, couseiiuently
better attendance can be secured. The
great dilllculty heretofore has been that
county superintendent's were not in
stalled In olilce until July 1st, and the
uncertainty of elections made progress
In the preparation for institutes neces
sarily slow. Hereafter, county superin
tendent's will be elected for four years
and there is no doubting the fact that
such course will have a wonderful influ
ence for good as regards the public
school system of the state at large. The
importance of the selection of thoroughly
qualified persons as superintendent's
win ne another important motor in the
public school work throughout the state
brought about by the enactment of the
Daly law. exteiidlnir the term of olilce
of superintendent's from two years to
four years. Greater care in the selection
of those oUlcers will be exercised and a
marked improvement in educational af
fairs In this state may' confidently be
looked for. '
In consideration of these facts it msv
be confidently be expected that new am
bition will be infused in school work in
this county. The fact of the superin
tendent's salary having been Increased
to a suui commensurate with Die dig
nity and Importance of the nostion will
enable that official to devote more time
to the work. The tax levy for school
purposes in this county is h mills,
which, with the special tax, brought into
the treasury over $10,000 this year, yet
for auiMtrintending our public school sys
tem the officer has heretofore received
the niggardly smount of $260 per annum.
The success attending the institue just
closed here i evidence tiiat school mat
ters In this county are attaining to a
higher degree of perfection, and better
progress may be expected In future on
account of the superintendent being
more adequately compensated. Mr.
Copeland labored earnestly for success
in the institute and how well he suc
ceeded is matter for congratulation.'
COUGARS DANGEROUSLY BOLD
Follow Lone Wayfarers ta the Boll
of the Nlg-ht.
The boldnem disnlaved by couzar
around this place recently is quite alarm
ing and very dangerous to the well being
of humanity. On Tuesday evening of
lat week Lester Bailey, clerk at Ross'
Dharmacv. had an experience with an
animal which he believes to have been
a cougar. Mr. Bailey bad attended a
dance at Yankton, and was on his way
home, riding a wheel, when, after pro
ceeding some distanoe along the road,
his attention was attracted by a peculiar
noise near by. Dismounting his wheel
he observed a largo animal about forty
feet from him. He drew his revolver
from his pocket and fired two shots at
the intruder, after which he proceeded
borne without further molestation, mo.
particular significance was attached to'
the circumstance until it was learned
later in the week that Mr. Boawell.
manager of the Deer Island creamery,
had quite an exciting experience with a
couple of ferocious cougars one evening
during the same week. Mr. Roswell
had been in St. Helena late In the even
ing and was returning home when the
animals let their presence be known by
scampering back and forth across the
road, both behind and ahead of the gen
tleman as be proceeded on his way.
Mr. Hoaweli saw the animals a number
of times as they leaped over the right-of-way
fence along the road, hissing occa
sionally and Hashing their bright, fiery
eyes like beams from a powerful search
light. Mr. jKosweu nau purcnaseu a
number of nounda of fresh meat and wo
carrying it home, but did not reach his
destination with it, paving iea it to me
beast as he proceeded, unless some
means is emnloved bv the people to ex
terminate those animals, loss of life may
yet be the result of their presence. At
thi time of year little children are trav
eling to and from school in the rural
districts, and their defenseless condition
would rentier tnem easy victims w me
prey of such ferocious beasts. Many re
ports of the loss of stock from different
parts of the county are reported, and
some mean should be employed to cap
ture them.
KEEP THE DAIRY CLEAN.
State Food Commissioner Bailey En
forcing Reform.
Dairymen must keep their premise
clean. State Food Commissioner Bailey
u iWnrminnd to keen after them until
they do. The unhealthy condition of
some of the dairying yards in the state,
Mr. Rallev thinks. 18 not so much due
rarnlnunnas as to imiorance. Many
of the people carrying on dairying are
not scientino tiairyraen, w-mueu iu weir
business, but farmers who see an oppor
tunity to make money by keeping cows,
nri seice It. Such as these do not un-
Hni-.inv.rl the value or necessity of keep
ing the yards clean and wholesome. The
dirt and filth accumulates by degrees
until it becomes one great cesspool oi
muck. Mr. Bailey thinks it time dairy
ing was carried on in a cleanly, business
like manner. In the U.ast the yards are
knt fresh and wholesome as new-
mown hay. To do the same thing here
will not reauire near as much work as
atnnninir throush the filth
if the dairymen will clean their yards
every day or so. The commissioner oe-

Teachers' excursion.
Friday evening of last week the good
people of Ht. Helen gave the visiting
teacher and their friends an excursion
down the river on the steamer America.
At 8 p. m, a 'gay throng boarded the
America which, with her flags Hung to
the breeze, presented a pretty sight.
The boat proceeded to Kalsma, where s
short stop was made, many going ashore.
Mr. Potter, of that place, tendered the
teachers the use of the hall there, but
the offer was not accepted, though every
one appreciated his kindness. After
leaving Kalama the boat crossed to Neer
City, whore, after a few moments land
ing, it proceeded to Heuben, then re
turned to Ht. Helens. On the return
trip luncheon was served. A lolly time
was had by ail present, the cheering of
the crowd and whistling of the steamer
announcing to all passers that the crowd
was out on pleasure bent. The teach
er expressed themselves as feeling very
inanxiui to tue people wno nave done ao
much to make their stsv In 8t. Helens
so pleasant. The citizens of this place
and the teachers were very grateful to
Captain Good for donating the use of
Ids boat fur the occasion. The trip was
one long to be remembered, and the
teachers who attended will always have
the kindest feeling for the people of Ht.
Helens.

Will Improve Lewis River.
A teletrrain from Washington dated
June 27th, ays: The secretary of war
haa approved the protect lor expending
the $10,000 appropriated by the last river
and harbor act for improving the Lewis
river, Washington, from its mouth to

river, from its mouth to the forks, and a
depth of four feet from there to La Cen
ter, on the east lork. with the present
appropriation it is proposed to work

main river, and doing a little necessary
snagging. The appropriation will be di
vided as follows : $7287 for dikes, $1600
for dredging, $260 for snagging and the
remainder for general expenses.
Mew Flag for the Court House.
It cannot be said that Judge Doan is
not patriotic. While in the county seat
last Monday, his attention was called to
the fact that the flag used at the court
house was in a very much torn and tat
tered condition, whereupon he proceeed
to order by telephone a new 16-foot flag
from Meier & Frank's. The flag ar
rived down early Tuesday morning and
was immediately hoisted to the pinna
cle of the nag-staff at the court house,
where it floated hravely the entire day.
Patriotic people like those of Columbia
county, will applaud Judge Doan'a ac
tion in purchasing the emblem, and
cheerfully vote him their thanka for hia
forethought in procuring it lor tue most
glorious occasion known tc American
people.

WAR TO THE TEETH.
Blood to the Hilt Amona; the Parm
er of Warren.
The farmers and residents of Warren
are entitled to the belt for their genius
in formulating and co-operation in car
rying out a plan to exterminate the
pestiferous digger squirrel, of which
there are so many in that vicinity. A
sort of a mutual co-operative aid society
was some time ago organized among the
farmers there with the express purpose
of waging war on the grey squirrels, and
the success which has attended the un
dertaking is greater than was antici
pated by the most sanguine of the pro
moter. The scheme 1 a simple one, each
member agreeing, to contribute $1 to
fund wherewith to offer a bounty on the
pelts of the destructive little animals.
A date was arranged for when a public
meeting is to be held, at which a general
accounting and summing up of the af-s
inirs oi toe organization is to ue nau.
Koch member, unless be can present
the scalps of twenty saulrrels. will be
required to pay into the treasury of the
organisation the sum $1, and each scalp
turned in in excess of twenty entitles
the member to live cents. Many of the
members and fanners will present noth
ing equivalent to the dollar, so they will
be required to present the cash, which
win oe turned over to the memtier nov
ing brouuht in scalps over twenty at the
rate of five cents each. It is said that
some of the best shots in that vicinity
have over 160 squirrel scalps to piesent
at the meeting to be held at that place
tomorrow (Huturday; evening. A great
amount of interest is manifested in the
matter by some parties who are making:
a success of it financially, while others
are encouraging it all they can in order
to rid the country of a pest. Tbs plan
is novel, yet it seem to be working to
perfection.
The Codling; Moth.
Those who have apple to aave from
the ravage of the codling moth should
spray them st once if they have not al
ready done so. The first larva are now
entering the fruit and by the time this
notice reaches the public it will be al
most too late to expect the best result.
Prompt action will be necessary to save
the crop.
Mollis are aDunoant and each deposits
many eggs. Apples are scarce. The
uHturau luieronre is matt unusual euoria
will have to be made to save the fruit that
remains. Observation last year showed
that the larva? ot the first brood began
to work in the fruit about July 1st.
This year they are beginning somewhat
earlier. This brood did little damage
last year, but it produced an enormous
second brood which began work about
Aueust 1st. bv far the sreater Drooortion
of injury being done after September 1st.
we, tberelore, recommend that the trees
be sprayed once between June 2d and
July 1st, again about August 1st and
again eariy in epiemuer. isirecuons
for preparing; and applvina the spray
are contained in Bulletin No. 48, which
may be had on application to the Ore
