The encouraging feature about the
cow's education la that it is the kind
that any farmer can give his cows at
home on the farm. Unlike the young
man and woman at the college, the cow
doc not get her training directly
from books, out she does iret it bv her
owner having a sufficient knowledge of
dooks to apply sclontitlo principles to
practical feeding, and the man that ig
nores books, bulletins and papeia as a
potent factor in increasing the contents
of his pocket book ia ignorant of one of
the prime elements of success. There
is no doubt but that experience is the
best teacher, but the experience of two
men Is better than one, and likewise the
experience of a large number of the
most successful men in any Industry is
worth a thousand fold more than one
aollf-concelted man who think he knows
It all. First educate the man; then It
will be possible to educate the cow.
In a recent lecture Superintendent
Ackerman pointed out dearly that par
ent everywhere make a great mistake
in lending hoy or gins to rortiami or
other large places, for the purpose of
getting a better education than can be
obtained at borne. He showed that
right at home a boy had as good a
chance to obtain a good education as by
attending the high school in Portland or
elsewhere; while his likelihood of falling
nto vlclou habits and evil practices
as much greater in the larger centers
population than In a small rural com
munity. The matter of obtaining an
education depends more upon the char
acter and calibre of the child than upon
any advantage of environment. To be
sure, an education can be gained by
close application and hard work on the
part of the pupil In whatsoever kind of
an institution he may be placed. A
great deal depend upon the parent, as
their conduct ha much to do In mould
ing the character of the child.

The argument a to the close of the

Those who think that ninety-nine years

officially it will be recorded that the
century ends, with the end of the year

The county court will very likelv be
ine ueianaant in a law suit at the next
term of ciruit court. A decision of the
supreme court handed down only a few
aays ago decrees it to be unconstitu
llonal lor the sheriff to have collected
certain fees for service for the last few
years, or since the salary law went into
effect, hence Attorney U. 8. Marauam.
of Portland, filed a bill on Wednesday
n the county court asking for the re
turn of about 1100 thus paid bv him to
tne snerm. ine county court will dis
allow the bill, so it will go to the cir
cuit court to be decided.
The hardest problem that the county
court will have to tussle with this term
will be the arrangement of the road
districts so that conformity will be had
with the new law, which require that
a road district must lie wholly within
one polling precinct. It was at first the
intention of the court to have but one
road district In each precinct, but when
the great number of mile of road in
some of the districts waa taken into
consideration such an idea bad to be
abandoned. There are sixty or seventy-
live mile of road in Auburn nrecinct.
and of course, It would be next to im
possible lor one person to give so much
road the necessary care and attention.
Commissioner Peterson informs us that
he waa looking last Saturday after the
division of Auburn precinct into road
districts, and after a conference with
several prominent persons of that pre
cinct it was decided, in order to best
serve the interests of all concerned, to
create at least three road districts for
that territory. This conclusion-will
very likely be carried into effect by the
court this week. There are a few other
precinct in the county In a similar con'
dition, as regards many miles of road, in
wnien pruoaoiy ine court will take ac
tion looking to tne practicable partition
ing of the territory into road districts.
There is one particular point about
ine registration ot voters, which
begun on Tuesday of this week. In re
gard to the requirement of the law as
regard naturalized, citizen, which re
quire me strictest observance ol its
intent. When the naturalized citizen
goes to register he must take with him
bis naturalization papers. If having
oiny declared his intention of becoming
a citizen, he must present his first
patters ; if having been accented to full
citizenship, then his final papers must
be presented to the clerk. It ia manda
tory on the part of regiatering officials
to refuse, absolutely, to allow a natural
ized citizen to register unless he can
exhibit his papers. Thl fact must be
borne in mum or else a great many
otherwise qualified voter will be for
bidden the privilege of exercising the
ghtof suffraire secured to him. Tr is
imperative, also, that registering in the
lilforent precincts be done and the
books and other documents returned to
the county clerk by the precinct regis
tering olhcial before the 15th of Mav.
These documents must arrive in the
countv clerk's oltice before 5 o'clock of
that day, otherwise the entries in his
register cannot be made. This fact
must also be borne In mind and strictly
observed. But whatever else you may
neglect to do, those who are naturalized
citizens must take your naturalization
paper with you when you go to register.
The people of this county are gener
ally in favor of paying a slightly in
creased amount of tax for road purpose,
and to that end the county court will
most likolv take some action while it ia
in session this week. Of course, there
ha been paid 13 mills tax for road
purpose for several year, and the com
missioners are in favor of doubling that
amount this year. Levying a large tax
for road purposes is contended by aome
to be strictly experimental. It would
seem that if a little tax for such a pur
pose were good, a great deal more would
be much better. And if a S-null tax for
road purposes 1 levied this year it will
be a starting place for the foundation
for bettor thing in the future. The
court ia somewhat hampered in Its de
liberations in the lax-levying matter by
the uncertainty of the amount of the
levy the state will impose for the cur
rent year. The reduction of voluation
throughout the state amounts to about
$3,500,000, and as valuation in Colum
bia county was Increased over S54.000.
hence the prospects are that we will be
called upon to pay more tax than was
paid last year to the state; in which
event the county levy would have to be
raised, else the county lie deprived of
good many hundred dollars. Both
the commissioners say they are willing
to start witn a 3-uiiu tax tor road pur
poses, and it ia very likely that such
will be the amount allowed for road im
provement this year. The bulge' opin
ion we have not ascertained, but he will
undoubtedly acquiesce with his brother
officials in this important matter,
- Changing Precinct Boundaries,
The people of Sherman and , Deer
Island precinct are desirous of having
some changes made in the boundaries
and name of the precinct. They re
quest that it nothing more 1 done l
connection with the matter that th
name of the precinct be changed so a
10 agree wun me name oi tne poBtomce
in the precinct, at least. Should this
be the case, what ia now known a
Sherman precinct would be changed to
Deer Island precinct, and the present
ucer isiana precinct be named and
known a Ooble precinct. Such changes
would save much. annoyance and avoid
a great deal of confusion as regard cer
tain localities, which now bear the
name of one thing and ia called some
thing cine.
A new voting precinct ia almost cer
tain to tie created by the county court
while It I in session this week. The
territory will be taken from Union (St,
Helens) precinct, and the one to be
created will be in the locality of Warren,
The people np in that part of the county
are universally in lavor ol having a new
precinct, in tact, they are almost de
mandins that favor. If the nrerincf. ia
created it will be three miles wide and
twelve miles long, and comprise all the
territory from Bunker bill to the Co
lumbia river, In length. The boundary
line between Warren and Union pre
cinct will extend no further south than to
about the Emmet Steven place, oh the
bay. There will be about seventy voters
in tne new precinct, it win be known
and designated as the Warren precinct.
Later: The changes in precinct bound
aries a described above were made by
me county court ihurauay morning.
The New Year Dance.
It i no lesa true with social function
than in any other undertaking where
well directed effort 1 lent looking to
success in the matter. The dance
given in this city last Monday night
was a success in the full meaning of the
wora. not a -nownng" success, out a
rousing, thoroughly enjoyable, respecta
ble time, where good order ruled and
enjoyment brightened the eye, gave
glow to the cheek and held sway over
the better judgment and aenaibilitiea of
tne many present who were entranced
with the mazy whirl of the giddy waltz.
The floor was in excellent condition and
the management was perfection. About
sixty numbers were out and there ap
peared to be ladies enough present to
insure every gentleman a partner for
each dance if he so desired. There was
absolutely no disorder, and the custom'
ary prevalence of whisky waa extremely
conspicuous by its absence. A magnifi
cent lunch wo served at the Oriental
hotel. All who attended the affair went
away well satisfied that it ia not impos
sible to have a good, respectable dance,
even in St. Helens, where poor order
has held away over such affairs in the
post.

Dost thou puff a 2-cent cigar or null the
deadly cigarette, and has thou lost thy
grip on ways that are right and wisdom
which is good in the world? Verily
thou art in a very bad row of stumps.
It will not be long ere thou are known
in the land no more. Thine heels will
fly up and thou fall into the soup.
Iveep thine eye on thy gun, and monkey-
not with the juice of the jag.
Steer clear of the man with the aces,
and in the ripening years of life thy
pockets will be full of the fruit of the
earth, while those who mind not these
commandments are partaking of the
lunch that is free.
