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.

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
The new school house at this

were cared for at the Contagious
Hospital but the last to the num

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.
