County Official Paper Much has been said through the columns of the local papers of the forthcoming People's Lyceum Course of winter enter tainment and every reader of the Mist has become familiar with the kind of an entertain ment it will be. There are some five numbers riven, one each month the dates of which have already been announced. To the people who .enjoy a high class and instructive lecture or musical entertainment it will pay to attend these meetings. It is a Chatauqua course on a little different scale but made up of the same class of speakers and entertainers. It i? not a money making affair for the committee in charge, but is being handled by some of the public spirited citizens of the community as a means of furnishing first class entertainment for the winter. School children should attend every one of the meetings if possible and teachers should call attention of the pupils to it. It is commendable in the committee to bring such a course to the city and it should receive tbf support of all of our people who have the time and means to do so. We bespeak success for the Lyceum Course. cnt for the Supreme Oiut to or vlor a new trial, it will I almost miraeuleus. With ob.ction to every question askc:'. a .ro;pec tive juror and whi.-h will no doubt be continued v ith more force io the examination of wit nesses, and the judge having to pass on these objections it is go ing to be impossible for the judge to rule correctly every time. past year. Many more wards are under its care so of course expenses of maintenance are in creased in proportion. Tl e aver age number of childr-T. on hand last year at the Receiving Home was sixty but now it will exceed that number by at least five each day. The little ones at the Home have been sadly afflicted for the past three months with Laying aside the question of the ; an epidemic of scarlet fever, guilt or innocence of the defen- although the cases were light, dant. it seems to be a part of the yet, it was necessary that the defense in this case to force children be isolated for two enough error into the record to cause a reversal, in case of conviction. THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE The new school house at this months. The first of these cases were cared for at the Contagious Hospital but the last to the num ber of fourteen were taken care of in this institution. This cer tainly was a great trouble and expense to those in charge, how- place is fast nearing completion ever, at this writing the Home is and when finished will be the entirely free from the. disease most up-to-date building of the kind in the county, containing 6 class rooms, manual training room, assembly hr.ll, gymnasium, basement and plenty of large halls. It will be steam heated, the steam being obtained from the miil. At the time this build ing was first talked of last spr ing there was considerable ob jection to it on account of no necessity, a3 it was claimed, but just at present there are some 40 P'l'ls in one grade being taught in the City Hall and rvery r)om in the old building is filled with more than should be there, and in one room there are two teachers, one of them using the library for a recitation room. So that before the huiding is completed all the spac ? :n it is in demand. One of the darkest places in Columbia County is the platform of the Houlton depot on a stormy night; not a light to be seen ex cept a dim one from the small window of the office. Yet there is a law in Oregon whereby this thing is regulated. It seems that when a traveller alights from the train at night on a depot plat form, that he should at least be able to see enough of the walk to permit him to pick his way around the puddles of water standing in the low places and to keep from colliding with the trucks and baggage standing around. It also seems that when there is a good electric light system in op eration within half a block of the depot the Railroad com rjanv should be compelled to furnish light. But the conditions at Houlton, where thousands of dollars are taken in each month by the company, is just such, and we hope this paper will fall into the hands of the Railroad commission and the officials of the company and see if some lights will not be placed there. And while this is being done it might also be a wise idea for the company to fix up and remode1 to some extent the other depot facilites some of which are in Lad shape. An Appeal On Behalf of Dependent Children- Do not forget the little ones at the Home of the Boys' & Girls' Aid Society of Oregon in Port land this Thanksgiving. The Management of the institution appeals to all persons who are interested in the welfare of de pendent children of the State to give liberally this year. The work of the institution has in creased very mnch during the and properly fumigated and the good work is again going on. It is the effort of the Manage ment to care for cases of abuse and neglect of Children through out the State, especially outside of Multnomah County and the records will show that about four-fifths of the children coming through the institution are from outside Counties, hence, this Society is an aiiLtevery county in the state and it is earnestly hoped that donations for its benefit will be liberal this thanks giving. The Railroad and Steamboat Companies are carrying all such donations free of charge if they are plainly marked Boys' & Girls' Aid Society of Oregon, Portland, Oregon. Boys may be had and some times girls. The older ones at ordinary wages and others to be schooled and cared for in return for slight services rendered. For particulars address W. T. Gardner, Supt. Boys' and Girls Aid Society of Oregon, Portland, Oregon.
