room and gallery being taken and the
aisles were even (Hied to givo accomoda
tions to all. The audience was dis
tinctly a literary one representing all
the literati of the city.
One of the most attractive features was
the blending in various parts of the
programme of characters 'in costume
from Longfellow's works. Their make-up
was so perfect that the scene whs most
rcalastitj and one could almost imagine
that he was in the presence of Longfel
low's heroes. The characters were rep

Pope's hall to its fullest capacity with
interested voters of Oregon City. The
women numbered nearly as many as the

in Oregon City the women have always
taken deep interest in school matters.

rooms had been fitted up for the accom
modation of the increased number of

The following report of the city schools
was submi'tea by the principal, Prof
S. W. 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,

Klnr News.
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.

Once Used, tbey ire Always la Fivor.
Assist Nature a little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laiative, thereby retnov
'ing offending- matter from tbe stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and Quickening iu Urdy action, and you
inereoy remove tne cause 01 a multitude or
distressing diiteaset, auch a headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biliouinesa, pim

tion, piles, fistula and maladies too numer
ous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating tbe action of their
b-iwcli, thry would have less frequent
occasion to call for their doctor's ser
vice to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases. That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, Lr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are onequalcd, is proven by the fact that
once used, thry are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to further constipate, aa is
the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
Tbey absolutely cure sick headache, bill
ousness, constipation, coated tongue, poor
appetite, dyspepsia and kind"d derange
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
