THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER jl, 1905
The Oregonian claim that it
has vindicated itself ami then ac
cuses itself of Wing fair. This
roust be an accident as no owner
or representative of the Oregonian
could have followed such a benign
statement with so untempered an
accusation.
Klamath Falls boaeU proudly
of thirty-five buildings now under
course of construction. Prineville
says nothing, but is quietly con
structing a new f 20,000 stone
hotel, a 115,000 stone ban build
ing and three other business
blocks. A $23,000 High school
building has just been finished, a
Presbyterian church, another bank
building, besides a dozen and
more residences recently completed
or now under course of construct
on. Klamath Falis Is experienc
ing a boom; Prineville is enjoying
a steady, 6olid and substantial
growth. Both are good features,
take vour choice.
It was the fact that the resolu
tions, adopted by the local Busi
ness League in denunciation of
the Oregonian's unjust attacks on
Crook count, appeared in the
Portland Journal that brought
retaliation from the former sheet
in the shape of more venom the
next day. In any other paper
but its hated jrival little if any
attention would have been paid
to them. But the appearance of
the resolutions in a paper covering
equally well the Oregonian's field
hurt with the sting of seven lashes,
more particularly so because they
were true and intended to counter
act the wilfully erroneous inipres
Bion which the Oregonian had at
tempted to create. The Iattrs
bludgeon, which it wields with
spiteful force, "was converted for
once into a boomerang.
In the face of the census returns
from Lake and Klamath counties,
both of which show a material
decrease over the federal enumera
tion of 1900, Crook county with a
population exceeding that of 1900
by C9 per cent is not to be censur
ed if it feels just a little bit stuck
up. It is probable that the
enumeration in both of. the coun
ties mentioned was not as thorough,
owing to adverse conditions, as
it was in Crook county where
Assessor Lafollett. although handi
caped by a lack of deputies, had
better access to 'the isolated sec
tions and covered the county in
a systematic manner. Even at
that he probably unintentionally
overlooked a few, but the number
is so small that the county is
satisfied. Coupled with the fact
that the next five years, judging
from present indications, will
show a much larger percentage of
increase, Crook county has reason
to feel proud although it cannot
as yet boast of the approach of
railroad facilities and government
irrigation projects as do the two
neighboring counties on the south.
The testimony of George W
Perkins that the New York Life
Insurance company had contribut
ed $150,000 in the three last
campaigns to the Republican
presidential campaign funds,
while long suspected, will be re
ceived from this authoritative
source with every indication of
profound interest. Here is money
that belonged to all classes of
policyholders without reference to
politics. That money was put
there for their protection and no
other purpose. None of them,
whether Republican or Democrats,
would have approved of any such
misappropriation of the company's
funds. Indeed it is not all un
likely the "executive act," as Mr.
Perkins designated it, was so
viewed even by those who commit
ted it, for not even the members
of the company's own finance
committee were taken into the
"executive confidence" when th
deed was done. The danger of I

such a corporation getting into
practical politic in this way is
manifest on its face, but if f ."0.000
of the company's fund can be
diverted at any time or for any
purpose by the "executives" of the
company without the knowledge
or consent of the finance committe
there is not only opened up a view
of the tremendous power exercised
by a very few men over trust funds
which should le regarded as
peculiarly sacred but there is dis
closed a loose-jointed method of
doing business which calls for
drastic action upon the part of the
governments, state or national, for
the protection of the people's
money. Journal.
tilaring errors
and ommissions
In-en discovered
are said to have
in the census
returns sent to!!1"---1 attention
Secretary of State F
I. Dunbar at
Salem. It is believed that the
enumeration of this year will
show an apparent decrease in
population in counties that are
known to have enjoyed a material
increase, i his is notablv true in
the returns from Klamath county,
which has had large additions to
its population, but which, accord
ing to this year's census, will ap
pear to have lost many people.
Not only is the enumeration
inadequate in some instances, i.ut
errors are numerous in filling the
different columns with notations
required by law. One of the com
mon mistakes is to return women
as liable to military duty, which
does not affect the total population.
of course, but indicates the slip
shod manner in which the census
was taken in some counties.
Tn . t .
iviamam county 3 assessor re
turns to the secretary of state
records that assert that there are
only seven Indians in that -coun
ty; the federal census of 1900
showed 1,136. The footings show
Klamath county to have now only
3,83t people, although in 1900
there were 3,870. It is probable
that that county has increased
from '20 to oU per cent in the past
five vear3 inasmuch as the settlers
have been going there by hun
dreds and enormous areas of land
are coming under cultivation that
formerly were used for grazing.
Klamath county has l-en ex
periencing an irrigation boomt too,
1.1.1 1 ....
ana mat, nas accelerated the in
coming of people; vet the assessor
shows a decrease of population
The errore in part are due to the
unwisdom of the law. Assessors
are expected to take the state
census, and as a rule thev are not
versed in the science of enumera
tion. Another defect is said to be
the -lack of a supervising head of
the census-taking. Kach assessor
works independently of all others,
and upon no one is placed the
duty of directing the labor of the
enumerators.
New Cure For Cancer.
All surface cancers are now know n to
be curable, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
Jag. Walters, of Duffield, Va., writes:
"I had a cancer on my lip for years, that
seemed incurable, till Buclclen's Arnica
Salve healed it, and now it is perfectly
well." Guaranteed cure for cuts and
burns. 25c at J. II. Templeten'g and

The four stejis suggested should lie
closely followed.
"rd. The two book course in irei-
graphy can lie used only in schools
employing more than three teach
ers, and then only after the school
board has voted to use it. The
use of the second book has liocn
too general. Last year the princi
pal of the Prineville Public Schools
did awny with the second book and
installed the one book course, also
comiH'lIing the students to finish
geography the first half of the 7th
grade, and ln-fore taking up his
tory an according to the course of
study. The result nut ply justified
him iu his derision.
4th. History ns a sem-rate recitation
Is not taken up until the last half
of the 7th grade, and then is to lie
taught by subjects as ht outline
iu the course of study.
5th. Civil Government is taught in
connection with reading and his
tory and not as a seiierate reci
tation. 15 th. Physiology is completed the
the tith year as heretofore.
All the above chauges tend to re
duce the unrulier of recitations in
each day and tints allowing time for
thorough work on the part of the
teacher and also gives the pupils
more time for preparation, thus In
miring ltetter work all along the line.
Where the new course of study
reads "Cyr's Primer" it should read
"Wheeler Primer" as ls-fore.
There will le no County Institute
this year, but we hoie to have some
interesting local institutes.
Our school work is comparing
favorably with the work of other
counties, but surely our sun1 lias not
yet reached the zenith. A long pull,
a strong pull, a pull all together,
and our schools will forge to tin
front and stay there; a credit to our
teachers and the school boards and
patrons who insist on employing
teachers that live up to thestandard.
