If it isn't misnamed it probably is too lively to be danced with coin-fort. Mrs. Leslie Carter, who has failed for $64,000, with $200 assets, may or may not be elevating the stage, but she certainly has elevated finance to the level of the fine arts. This calls to mind the story ' the Irishman told on himself which was in substance that he owed one hundred thousand dollars and that it took a good man to do that and the Irishman was right. It is pretty nearly as easy a task to make that amount of money as it is to owe it. It used to be said the longest pole got the most persimmons, but it also holds good that the biggest poll gets the most plums. In this connection it would not be untimely to say that Secretary of State Kin caid got all the plums there were in his office during bis occupancy thereof. If reports be true, and there have been some broad asser tions made, Mr. Kincaid is surely a man who shoots with a large bore gun. ' It has been said that $25,000 would not be too large a figure which to put the extras whioh Atnouir the several bills Introduced by the aluto legislature since our lint Issue the following are those ot most Importance and ot most Intoreet to Southern Oregon people: ' ' IN TllK 11OUBK.

From what we know of these gentlemen we be lievethem to be honest, thorough business men whose advent into the arena ot Medford journalism will prove a credit to the profession and to the town. The Mail wishes them success and if anything can be done for the good of the town and her people which can be better done in team harness this paper . will hitch up with them and never slack a trace until the desired good has been accomplished. AN UNUSED TYPE. uuaearay RyH Have Bees Ke- laatea by Moderm IfoTellats Bd Poeta. I might pile Ossa upon Pelion in the way 01 descriptions of gray eyes culled from fiction. There is, however, one type of gray eyes whose appearance in itory I have not yet noted, says Nina R. Allen in Lipplncott's. We have had gray eyes whidh "re sembled nothing so much as moss agates;" sea-gray eyes are not un zommon. Amelie Hives has bestowed upon Ilva, in "The Witness of the Sun," great violet-gray eyes, "like rain washed amethystsi" while Mr. Paul Leicester Ford has recently introduced as to a pair of slate-colored eyes. But, at the present writing, I have ret to meet with the golden-gray eyes in fiction. They are to be found, how sver, In nature, the most luminous of 11 eyes, I think, the iris about the sdge a soft old-gold or golden brown, yradually melting toward the pupil .nto a worm gray. This lovely color I have seen in the eyes of a. dog and it a child the eyes of tie dog wist ful, appealing, pathetic with unutter ible things, the child's speaking of a loul as yet undarkened by shades of the prison house, and-splendid with the 3ght that never was on sea or land. To the novelist desiring something new In eyes, I would respectfully rec ommend the golden-gray. There Is Trouble In Our Camp. Last week this paper said in substance that Hie people of East Medford wanted to get inside the incorporate limits of Medford, and in almost the same line we admitted that we didn t know whether thev did or not, but that people on this side would like to have them with us. This little item seem to have created quite a flurry of excite' ment among Eas j Side people, and there was an intimation scattered around to the effect that we had perpetrated gross error in so much of the item as concerned the East siders. The Mail did not think those people would take tne item seriously, but the followinz. signed by "Many Citizens," would seem to indicate differently: "The editor of The Mail has kindly informed his 2000 readers of our desire to squeeze into Medford, This is not to inform him, because he knows, but his zuuu readers who ao not know, that uttie paper commonly called a remon strance. and signed by every set-at-able property holder in East Medford, nestles in me pocitei 01 eacn ot our represents. tives at Salem, and protesting against pusning our ena 01 jacKson uounty in siue me maw 01 Aieaioro.

It starts from Huntington, Or., and follows the Snake river, the distance being eighty-three miles. . For the first ten miles there will be some tunneling and rock work, but after that the work will be easy. The annual report of Supervising in- gpecter General Dumont to the secre tary of the treasury for the year ended June 30, 1698, shows that there were on the Pacifio coast, at the date of com pilation, 657 steamers of 117,238 tons register, compared with 85 vessels of 18,222 tons when the district was es tablished in 1857.

Many of tho pupils ujoltlou that thoy would continue melt similes tnrougu thu wiutor at home Norn Sliuean lias finished a term ol school tu joint district No. 21. This school had a larger mimlior of small boys lu attendance than any rural school In tho county. They were smart boys too, and we expect to llud young men In that district when thoso boys have grown. Tho following teachers wero present at the Institute lust Saturday: J 11 Barnard, G H Samuels, Mr ami Mrs A J Hunhy, Stella Stlilham, Mary Daw son, Alotha Mnuzoy, Ellen ilursell lioberta Klppoy, Maude Downing, J M Horton, Phrona Shields, Annie Clem cuts, E LOIwe.ll, Viola McKnight and Helen Little. Circular No. 1 from State Suucrln tuudent Ackeru.iin is as follows mill should bo kept in mind: "It Is tho re quest of tho state board of education that till applicants for stato papers make their applications to the statu board ot education at the time of their regulur examinations, uuless the delay would work a great hui tlshiii to thu an plicunt. This becomes noccssarv in or der that the Ixiard may, us a board, act upon ail applications, which It cannot ao uuiuss 11 is 111 session; una It is 1 111 practicable to call it in session every few days to act on applications." This is a rcnsonahle request and should be heeded. Thu board meets the tlrst Monday lu January and July. The patrons and vouuir neoule ot Con trul Point are rltrlit to the front when anything educational is in their midst. This was fully demonstrated by their attendance at the local institute last week. The attendance in the forenoon was excellent and in the afternoon It was necessary to bring in every availa ble seat and then standing room became precious. It Is nleasin? to note the growing interest in these local meet ings. There WHS not a nonrlv nrnnupnH subject presented during the day and much lively discussion followed some of the topics, a number of patrons taking part, introductory Puvsiolocv" was carefully trenied in a paper by Stella Stidhain. She showed bow interoet In the subject might be stimulated by helping children to realize full v thu value such a study might be to tbein In the care and preservation of their own bodies. She was heart!!; supported in her view that the evils re sulting from using tobacco should be unaue more prominent to the young iNo matter wnat topic Kllen Uursell pre sents she does it in an interesting and logical manner. Her paper on "The Recitation" was replete with timely and practical suggestions. This sub ject receives too little attention from many teachers. Some teachers will do more with a recitation in fifteen min utes tbau others will in thirty minutes. What is the reason? We would suggest that every teacher who has not a good work on "Methods in Recitation." se cure a copy of "The Method of the Rec itation." by McMurrv. nubliahed bv Publio School Publishing Company, ot 1 1 1 : . ,., , , . . , ' K . oiuuuiiuifivir, 111.

J. M. Horton followed with a nrantlral talk along the same line, emphasizing the thought that much more of this work should be done. Punils should be taught much geography from observa tion; plants and animals should be studied as to structure, habits and use fulness. A useful study In this part of the state would be the various nests that are so harmful to fruit growers in this county. Tho lost topic of the dav was Advanced Readlne." bv Nora Svdnir. Though coming last she presented the subject in so clear and elegant a manner lout close attention was given through out, miss oyuuw is a ciose tniniter and Knows now to present her ideas tn others.
