Holmes: To the Patrons of the Oregon City Pub- lie Schools. In accordance with the custom, I, as your superintendent, hereby submit report of the comparative growth of your schools during the past year: Since the reports of the honorable hoard and school clerk cover almost all if not all, of the ground, - mine must of necessity be brief. Not being well acquainted with the de tails of the last four months of last year's school, I must found my report on only few leading facts by which circum stance you will escape listening to many details which might be as unimportant as tbey are tiresome. - The total enrollment for the year end ing March 1. 1895, is 787, as compared with 72.1 for the year ending February 23, ISM. The averuge daily attendance Is 5ti9; that of the previous year being 4(i5, show ing an increase of 104 in daily attendance or something over 22 per cent. This shows at least a gratifying growth of the city, but I have not the data at hand to determine whether it indicates any better attendance than during pre vious years or not. Many pupil of high school age and advancement who had opportunities of earning wages were kept out of school for that purpose, yet we find that the high school has grown from )8 pupils last year lo 112 this year. The general discipline of the schools we believe to be excellent, and a spirit of earnestness and co-operation to exist be tween teachers and pupils which will be productive of the best results. Respectfully yours, 8. W. H01.MK8, Supt. Election for director being in order, J. A. Thayer placed Dr. J. W. Norris in nomination and Henry Meldrura nomin ated C. W. Fredricks.

The steamer Altona made her first trip up since liar late accident Tlnirluv. While the new shaft whs being put In 1 the wheel and the engine repaired, a general overhauling was given the boat She has been thoioiigblv cleaned and renovated and placed In the best of order for the spring trade. The Altona has proved herself to be B reliable as a passenger train in the regularity of her trip and the time for making her vari ous landings seldom vary ten minute from day to day. On Monday next the remodeled and rebuilt steamer, Uaily Gatzert will go on the Astoria route, replacing the Tele phone which will belaid on" lor a thor ough overhauling. The work performed by the Telephone during the past year has never been equaled bv any steam boat in America in miles covered and hours of running service. She ' being almost continuous night and day on her trips and making them with the regularity of an express train. None but an extraordinary strong boat could have accomplished such a feat. The Jiaily Gatzert has been so overhauled that she is practically a new boat Large engine have been placed in her and the fire box lias b en enlarged to give her greater steam power. The ladies cabin has been furnished in style be coming the parlor of a mansion, while the gentlemen's cabin is fitted up for ease and comport in a manner not equaled by another boat on the river; The texas has la-en extended back on the hurricane deck and a number, of elegant rooms added to give further accommodation when on the night runs. The officers cabins and rooms in the texas are finely furnished and ele gant in their appointments. Oft from the ladies' cabin on either side are the bridal chambers, two rooms that are of unusually large size for river steamers and in their furnishings ejual the bridal chambers on the ocean steamers. In all other details the Gatzert is just as complete and no expense has been spared to make her all that the travel ing public could desire in comfort and speed. 80 soon as the Telephone is out which will probably be in about six weeks, it is expected that both boats will be placed on the Astoria route. The Shaver Transportation Co. is pre paring for the summer business. They have laid off the Sarah Dixon and placed the Shaver on the Astoria route, to en enable them to sive the former boat a thorough overhauling. The Dixon is be ing repainted and refurnished and her machinery placed in the beet of order so that when' she again ge on her route, she will he as clean, neat and speedy as the most fastidious traveler could desire. On the Dixon resuming her route, the Shaver will be given an overhauling and put in first class order when she will be placed in the Clatskanie route. A New Millinery Establishment.
