Notes Pertainina to School Mat ters. The other day two schoolteacher were , discussing the pronunciation of the name of Dreylus. After a little dis cussion the matter Btill remained un settled.

Young's livery stable has agreed to take out a load of ten teachers and return for 50 cents ahead. The teachers should by all means make it an object to attend this first meeting of the association at the beginning of the year.

The contents will consist of the choicest se lections of the author, and will fill a book ol 400 pages. No home library should be without a volume of Sam Simpson's poetry. Aside from the in trusic merit of Simpson's poems, written on all subjt-cts, their local nature, d. s criptinn of Oregon romance, scenic beauties, of mountain and river, have a special Western significance and value. The author of'Beautiful Willamette," has been called the "Burns of Oregon," so near was his heart to nature a evi denced in so many poems written on bis native land. Mrs. J. R. Beavers has been engaged to canvass Oregon City for the sale of these poems, Ihe book will be sold for $2.00 and (2.50, payable on delivery, by agents for the Simpson Publishing Com pany. If the growth of trusts is not checked, the time is coming when they will have absorbed the entire business of the country. It will not take long then for them to absorb the bulk of the prop erty of the country. With a few people possessing the property, the many will possess the physical strength. What then will be the result? Strength starv ing will hardly permit weakness to en joy plenty. The monopolists ought to see this, even if it is far off.

On Tenth street is a small incandes cent light fiat (links and wiiks day after day an I night after n'ht, rain or shine. It twinkles, twinkles, faintly,.. like a sick star in the firmament.. Thi light was placed there many month ago to light the behted traveler on the- way to the Singer hill roaa. ' .Some very codfishy people consider that this paper intended ft slam against Senator Porter and his brile, when it mentioned the fact that they had re turned from Astoria and the teaeide. The information was obtained at Mtv Porter's own office that they would bet here on a Certatrroy, unlo tlicy aon eluded to take the steamer to San Fran cisco. They returned at the appointed ixru. -1 1.1 H ru these codfishy people want actual1 facts misrepresented because they had ar ranged a different program? He prob ably had matters that demanded his ar gent attention here is the reason that he came home when he did. Did not' this paper give-htm a complimentary wedding notice?1 It is the duty of the re porter at all times to record social' functions impartially, no matter what his personal feelings may be in the mat ter. V. . . Now that hop picking is practically over, with its social opportunities, it is expected that the usual number of ro mantic marriages will materialize dur ing the next fw months. Hopyardl courtships, in the opportunity presented! for forming new acquaintances, often' result in marriages. That lias been the result to a great extent in the history of' hopyards in past years, and this season will probably not prove an exception to the usual rule. It is a notable fact,, however, that an unusual number of young married people went to the hop fields this . season on their wedding; tours. V There Is a continual cry about gool' roads leading to Oregon City being im proved. This is all very proper. The more roads the better. The all impor tant question, however, is facilities for marketing farm produce here. When ever there is an oversupply for the lo cal market, the producer Invariably Is compelled to go . to Portland or else where to dispose of their products. Un til this condition of things Is remedied,. Oregon City can never become a great trade center. The farmers of Clacka mas county much prefer to come here to do their trading for obvious reasons. But, if they cannot Bell their products here, who can blame them for remain ing away? It is to be hoped that this matter will be remedied at an early date, then farmers will take an active interest in good roads leading to this place. When the early closiig movement went into effect Monday evening, a few people went short on staple grocer ies, but did not suffer any great incon venience thereby. It gives things an unusual appearance to see the tw close so early, but people are readily adapting themselves to the improved condition of affairs.
