Tbe report! of the president and treasurer showed that though there had been discouragements the general progress of Kindergarten sentiment had been marked. The asso ciation is determined to push the work begun.

The kindergarten school nnder Misa Mabel Urouner, though small, shows the traits of the kindergarteners' splen did talents. Miss Brouner is fully com petent to conduct tbe school in a scan ner second to none in tbe state. She la a young lady of fine moral and intellec tual attainments, and any children plac ed under ner inst r notions will revive tbe attention they need for their ad vancement. A meeting of the new board of dim-tors will be hel 1 at the residence of Mr Wm Vance on next Tuesday evening, when officers will be elected.

Complaints regard ing th methods of the range people now canvassing the state have been numerous. Tbe man wbo prefers to patronise foreigners to hie home dealers deserves no sympathy, bat we publish a complaint from Oregon City to shew the nature of the swindle : "Victims of the home-comfort wrought iron cooking range aw indie are numerous in this county. Eighteen farmers at Molalla koiHgbt the ranges at $72 each, giving notes due November 1, with the under standing and verbal agteement that any length of tune to rait the convenience of the soaker of the note would be granted by tbe company even six or eight years, for the company had plenty of capital and never disposed of its pa per. But the notes tamed op in the hands of third persons, and must be paid, and there is trouble. Half a dozen farmers were in town today to see it the grand jury would afford them relief or satisfaction. There were numerous pur chasers of these wonderful ranges through the Molalla, Marquam and the Scott's Mill country. The aame kind of ranges can be bought here for $50 . " Maxrsa Mosey Mr A Root, of Mo hawk, was a caller Saturday. He has recently returned from Josephine county, where he baa been engaged in mining daring a part of the rammer. He west there tbe first of AuguaUand commenced work in old claims, mining in a rough way, and in about three months work cleared lfU above bia expenses and coat of living, and has provisions enough on hand to last him several weeka. He has been working bard, and baa demons! rated what can be done by honest effort. Un bis return home he at once settled up a number of accounts standing against him. and placed himself square with tbe world. Bia mining operations have been carried on at Whisky Creek, and he will return there in a few weeks to continue work . He haa been struggling along on bis claim on Mohawk, but finds that mining even in bis crude style pats much better. Register. That Excraaiow.

Heart Disease Takes Mr Ben Bren ner from our Midst. When dinner was ready at the home of Mr Ben Brenner thia noon, Mr Bren ner waa not present, so Mrs Brenner went to the door and called him. Not responding she went out to the barn, where she was startled to see her hue band lying on the barn floor with his face upward, dead. Her cries brought several neighbor to tbe place, among others Dr Watt who examined the body and pronounced Mr Brenner dead. His" face waa black, and he had undoubt edly died from heart disease, with which he bad been affected (or a good many years. Mr Brenner came to Albany from Bohemia in about 1865, clerking in this city for awhile and then moving to Brownsville, where be was in business for a number of years, then returning to Albany where he has since resided, with out being in business other than attend - ng to bis property, oi which ne owned the store occupied by Ignats Fox and the three residences on Third street, between Ferry and Broadalbin. The deceased waa a member of the I O O F of Brownsville and the A O U W of thia ity. He was about bO year of age. He leaves a wife, five children, other rela tives and manv friends to mourn bia death. Funeral services will be held at the family residence tomorrow afternoon at 30 o'clock under me auspices oi ine A O U WandlOOF. BURGLARY AT WATERLOO. $345 Taken from Ex-Mayor San- foru s Cupboard. A peculiar burglary happened yester- terday afternoon at Waterloo. Kx Mat or Santord left bis home at noon, and went into the country leaving bis wife and child at borne alone. During the aliernoon MraSanford put the child to sleep and lay down herself. Mr San ford returned borne at 4 or 5 o'clock. wb?n his wife and child were yet asle p, and at once saw that some one had been in the house disturbing things. He had deposited $345 in a cupboard aa a bank, thinking it wm well concealed, and of course looked to see if it were intact th first thing. It waa gone, bia wordly aav- ngs having vanished Mr anforJ was awakened; but the child did not wake op until late in the evening. The indi cations were strong that they had been chloroformed. There waa no clue t the burglar. It waa a daring broad day light affair. Another warning against trusting uncertain places for keeping money. DALY AXD THE OREGON C.IFIC PA- It is said Marcos Daly proposes to bid for tbe Oregon Pacific when it ia offered for sale for tbe purpose of using it aa a part oi tbe soast extension of tbe Butte, Anaconda & Pacific, recently brill be tween Butte and tbe redaction works at Anaconda. This road if as built with tbe intention of extending It to tbe Pacific The Railroad Gazette ears the comp any is making preparations to begin ttork early in the spring on a line into tbe Bitter Root valley This line will probably follow the Northern Pacific raivey acroaa the Bitter Root range, and atrike the Snake river in the vicinity of Lewiston ; thus saving the long circuit ous root through tbe Kootenai country. hbould their line be extended at all, it will probably be to a seaboard connec tion. From Lewiston, the moat feasible route would be via the Oregon Pacific and l r Daly and hie associates ill find tbe Oregon Pacific a valuable piece ol property. L nder the man gent of Receiver t lark tbe fact baa been conc'.us-irely demon strated that Uie traffic receipla will pay operating expenses, and keep the road ia repair. At present the earntogs of the road average about f 10,000 a month, and are increasing right along. By extend ins tbe line a tew miles, the traffic would be doubled with no increase in operating expense. Then tbe road would net 1120,000 annually ; or 6 per cent interest on an investment of 2,000.009. The average cost of building and equipping a road per mile is 93V,t0. At tins rate tbe 142 miles ol uregon facmc lrac ia worth $4,260,000. To any transportation tine seeking a western or seaboard con nection, this route haa innumerable ad vantages, and Co such ought to be a good investment at 1,000.000 or fco.oou.ow If purchased without a view toward ex tending it, it ia worth $2,000,009. aa it ill pay interest on such an Investment.

FEIDAT Mn Skipwoth Oppobkd to it E R Skipworth, a former Albany man, in an interview in the Portland Sim goes for the new salary law thusly : K R Srfipworth, a well-known attorney of Eugene, is in the city on professional business. Mr Skip worth says there is a great deal of dissatis faction among tho people of Lane and Douglas counties, in regurd to the laie law which allow the sheriff a salary instead of a per rentage- "The law is being generally discussed ," said ho, "and the people are lookitg forward to a radical amendment, or a repeal of that law altogether. "Under the present laws tbe sheriff's deputies are appointed by the county court. I called at the sheriff's office some days since with some paper which I wished to have served at once. 1 was told by tbe sheriff that his deputies were all busy, that there were several ahead of me. and that he could not attend to it at once. I told him my case waa very important and ten dered him the money, telling him to get some one to do it. No. I cannot do that, be said. 'If I should I would be compelled lo turn the money you pay me in to the county and pay the man hiied oat of my own pocket.'' Again Mr Skipworth said: "Tbe sheriff is required to pay all traveling expenses, and when a prisoner escape from custody, many time he i not caught for the simple reason that the sheriff doe not wish to pay out hi money for traveling expenses, there being no inducement offered him by the county for tbe capture of criminal. The late law ha proven to be very unsatisfac tory, and there should be soma change made." QChxap Tkach rh. The Oregon City Courier talks in a manner that should be interesting to some Linn county school director: In some school district of this county, tbe director engage teacher be cause they are cheap not becanse they are well qualified. Tbey invite bid as if for chopping wood or building a barn, and the lowest bidder having a certificate gets a job, as though the prime duty of a peda gogue were to herd children. These dir ectors are, no doubt, honest in their inten tions and mean well. Their idea i to get a cheap teacher in order that the money might last long, bat forgetting the import ant fact that a cheap teacher is often the dearest. It i far better for the children of a district that tner be instructed tor three months by a capable teacher who love hi ork than hve month by a drone who does care whether school Keeps or not. ng the teacher of this county are talented men and women not a few who are aenttons ia tbe discharge of their du ties, and in many district they are recog nized u such, bat tbey are unjustly placed in pecuniary competition by directors with teacher with little or no qualification, a though, if a fire-dollar pony was branded I with a ceruncate on his nana, be would t capable of taking charge of r. district magi A Novel feaaTD l"r .
