Dying, still slowly dying,
As the hours of night roll by,
She has ItJn since the light of sunset
Was red on the evening sky
Till afier the middle watches
As we softly near her trod,
tVhen her soul from its prison fetters
Was looeed by the hand of God.
One moment the pale lips trembled
With the tri .inph she might pot tell
As the sight of the life immortal
On her spirit's vl-ton fell,
Then the look of rapture1 faded
And the beautiful smile was faint
As that in som convent picture
On the face of a dying saint.
And we tell in the lonesome midnight
As we eat by the silent dead
What a light on the path going down
ward
The feet of the righteous shed
Maple Lane.

Champion Unequal for Light Draft, Easy
Handling and Durability
IIiuiiland, Okkoon, Nov. 8, 1898.
Mitchell, lutein, tfc Slaver Co.,
Portland, Oregon.
Ufnti.kmkn : I desire to offer this as
my testimonial in behalf of the 6-foot
Champion Binder and Bundle Carrier
urchaecd from vou this year. For light
ueHS in draft anil ease of operation, sim
plicity in construction and durability,
will say that no machine to my knowl
edge is its equal, nor near it. Having cui
160 acres of grain, the machine did not
cause me five minutes' delay, conse
quently not a cent for repairs. All the
Champion machines put in my neigh
borhood have given equally good Ratis
fnction. In (net, I want, no better ma
chine than the Champion.

Grnti.emkn : The Champion Binder
bought of you the past season has given
me good satisfaction, and am well pleas
ed with it. We can cut grain that anoth
er make of machine would not handle
All the farmers we cut for are more than
pleased with the work, and have promis
ed us their entire cutting for another
year. Can cheerfully recommend the
New Champion Binder to my friends,
acquaintances, and fellow farmers who
expect to buy Binders in 1899.

EDUCATIONAL. j
Notes Pertaining to School Mat
ters.
County Superintendent N. W. Bow-
land has sent out the following circular
to Clackamas county teachers : The an
nual teachers' institute will be held in
Oregon City, commencing n Monday,
August 21st, 1899, continuing five days.
Thin date has been selected so as not to
interfere with your needed summer rest,
and will enable you to carry the leBsons
and inspiration of the week's work di
rectly into your schools. The work will
be in the hands of Professors Milner
and Zineer and Miss Mary Hargrove.
The subjects arithmetic, English gram
mar, civil government and physiology
will be taught by Professor Milner, who
will give special attention to presenta
tion of methods of teaching the same.
History, orthography, botany and the
ory of teaching will be presented by
Professor J. C. Zinser, who will notice
particularly the critical period in United
States history. In orthography will be
prefixes, suffixes and definitions. Miss
Hargrave will give useful outlines in all
primary work. You are requested to
see section 19, relative to attendance at
annual county institute.
Mrs. H. ts. Kinearson will be a mem
ber of the county board of examiners.
in place of 0. H. Byland, who has re
signed. The appointment was made 10
orl2day8ago, but-fhe did not accept
the place until the beginning of the pres
tnt week. The teachers examination
will be held during the coming week.
Miss Minerva D. Thiessen has just
closed a successful term of school in dis
trict 88.
Miss Irene Carter, of Rassellville,
has been engaged as teacher for the fall
term in dietrict No. 10.
Miss Maud R.tstaU, of Molalla, has
been engaged as teacher in the Dickey
district.
In addition to the mention last week of
the new metli' ds and plans adopted for
teachers' examination, the following ad
ditional points are given Applicants
are to pass a special examination upon
the art of questions and methods. The
questions are to be graded by the county
board of examiners the same as for
county certiticates, and a fee of $2 will
be charged for such certificate. The
state board of education has decided that
an applicant for a state paper need not
write on all branches required for the
same at any one examination. The work
may be made to extend over three con
secutive examinations taken by such ap
plicant choosing the branches to be ta
ken at each. The state board has also
decided that the exemption from any
branch on which an applicant has made
00 per cent or more at two successive
examinations taken by such applicant,
applies to examinations held prior to
August 9th, 1899. Hence, an applicant
niay be credited with the average stand
ing in anv branch on which 90 per cent
past exami
nations, as above specified, or may tiy
ttie same branch at the forthcoming ex
amination for a higher standing at his
op'ion. Two sets of questions will be
provided on the 10 branches required
for a county certificate; one for appli
cants for state papers, the other for ap
plicants for county papers. Applicants
for primary certiticates will write on the
same questions (on the branches taken
by them) as applicants for county cer-

titicates.
Probably a New Joint Senator
Will Have to be Elected.
Som j people versed in law enact
ments claim that a joint-senator for the
17th district, comprising Multnomah
and Clackamas counties, will have to be
elected at the general state election to
be held next June. According to the
new legislative nactmenl Clackamas is
no longer connected with Marion county
in a senatorial district, and the new law-
went int" effect as soon as it was ap-1
proved by the governor, therefore legal
authorities claim that the new district
cannot be represented unless a successor
to Senator Porter is elected.
However, the act re adjusting the
boundaries of senatorial districts, has
the following provision :
Senators holding over, representing
districts composed of more than one
county, shall, when the districts have
been changed by this act, be considered
senators of the district created by this
act in which they reside.
Some legal lights, however, claim that
the fact that Senator Porter was not
elected in Clackamas county, but re
ceived the vote that elected him in Ma
run county, would necessitate the elec
tion of a new j Vint senator in the 17th
district, claiming that the legislature
has the right to terminate the term of
any office created by it.
Why the Oreyon Boys Did Not
Want to Come to Oregon
Direct.
Extract from a letter from an Oregon?
boy to his mother in Oregon.
Tub Presidio, Cal.; July 24, 1899.
I have not been well since getting
home. The food which we gotduring
the long three months' campaign in the
Philippines is now beginning to tell on?
me.
The work of muster out is infinitely
greater than that of muster in, and you,
know something of what I had to do
while in Portland a little over one year
ago.
We will be fully prepared to go to
Portland the first of next week if Port
land claims that we should come in a.
body. So far as we are concerned, we
don't care whether Oregon sends for us
or not. We have no love for the man
ner in which the state has "treated ug..
And then her audacity to ask us to give
$25,000 to parade her streets to make a
public show of ourselves 1 I like my peo
ple j I honor my friends j I love my
mother, my brothers and sisters but
not because they live in Oregon. I wouldl
like them, love them, honor them just
as much if they lived in Canada. I re
gard them for what they are, and not for
where they are. But let me tell you
that few, indeed few of the Oregon vol
unteers honor their state. We bave
tried to honor Oregon, but Oregon has-'
tried to rob us through the agency of thes
United States. She overcharged us for
the old rags of clothes, while other
Btates gave' their soldiers both clothes
and extra money. Even the poverty
stricken state of Nebraska gave her regi
ment $10(10 with which to get a Christ
mas dinner at Manila last winter. The.
Oregon volunteer lived off his govern
ment ration and a few little dainties fur
nished by loving parents or kind friends
at home. But you did not hear na com
plain. We took It as a natural outcome
But when the good, generous(?) people
of Oregon come and ask as to give up
from two to three months' wages, or
nearly $33,000, to parade for them, our
admiration( ?) for their gall amounts to
something akin to bitter hatred. As for
us Oregon may do as she pleases about
receiving us. We are proud of the fact
that California has already received us-
right royally. One could hardly expect-
so much from Oregon. We are proud
also that the record of the Second Ore
gon regiment was never in any way
blackened by any failure on its owni
part. The name of the Second Oregon,
will live, regardless of the state of Oregon.
I notice in the daily pape rs some sar
castic remarks about the paltry little
sum of $30 to the man that we get by
being mustered out here. Do the people
of Oregon not know that we had to fight
niggers nearly two months in the
swamps of the Philippines for that
amount of money? Well, we did. If
Oregon is so large hearted and magnani
mous, why don't she pay her boys,
many of whom are now here, the $30O
which she still owes them from the state
encampment of July, 1897? Or why
don't she pay us for the time we were in
camp McKinley, April and May, 1898?"
Why don't she? Can she answer these
questions in the same patriotic strain in
which she says we are only out for a
money consideration, not for the love of
country? Who has the more patriotism,
the man who has gone to the front to do
his country's Bervice and now on return
ing wishes to replenish his trousers-
pockets with the few dollars may come
his way that he may care for soul and
body during the oncoming winter, or he
who remained at home and now black
guards us because we won't parade the
streets of Portland and carry 60 pounds
of luggage, and all to please who? Usf
By no means. To please the men who
yelled us away to the war and the men
who want our few remaining dimes and
is afraid San Francisco might get one or
two of them.
That's what we think of Oregon. I
believe that right tonight it would only
take a little leading to get our boys to
bum the state in effigy. So yon see
what we think of our own home state.
