The New Time Table The Oregonian says : Commencing with May l.the Southern Pscific will put into effect a new time card, which will make a number of changes, the most important one being the leaving time of the San Francisco overland, which will be at 6 P. M. instead of 8 '50 as at present. The object of this change is to make closer connection with the Northern Pacific overland from St. Paul, which, commencing with today, will arrive in Portland at 5 k U . instead of 7 :30 as heretofore. This new schedule on the Southern Pacific will p'U the over land into San Francisco three and a half hours earlier than at present, namely, 7:45 A. M. instead ofll:t, giveing business men the whole day in San Fran cisco Br leaving Portland at 6 P. M. the Southern Pacific overlani will take the place of the present Salem local, which leaves at 4 P. M and the overland train will do the local service, stopping at all the stations between Portland and Salem. This will naturally cut out the Salem local both ways. Coming north, the overland will leave San Francisco at 8 P. M. instead of 7 P. M as at present, re ching Salem at 7 :10 A . M , and arrving in Portland at 9 :30 A. M. instead of 8 :10,as at present. Tue Roseburg local will arrive 10 min utes earlier, namely, 4 :30, instead of 4 :40 P. M. In order to make closer connection at Portland with the overland, the schedule on the IV eat Side has been altered to suit, and the Corvallis train in Portland at 5:50,P. M 6:20, as at present. is to arrive instead of Oakville. Mr Johnson Smith and wife made ns a pleasant call yesterday.- John was in the last legislature and is now an editor.

Our young friend America made quite a spread in the Democrat this week bat we are surprised that he can't see a "point."

The Lawler Mining Company has its 20-mill stamp working fall capacity, and is said to be meeting with satisfac tory results. "Dr. E. U. Smith is also developing a number of extensive clauns there, and is about ready to start the Albany mill, which he has leased to develop the work on bis own claims, and those of others ! in that district.

From tbe Guard: A abort lime ago a man put in hi ap pearance at oar cilv and secured a stop ping place in the conntry a sbor dis tance from town. He stated tht he was from Chicago and had come to Ore iron for bis bea.ib. One morning sfter he had been at bis stopping place a few days be asked a fanr bad boar far it was to tbe foot of tbe mountain. The dis tance did not look mors than two miles, and on receiving tbe reply that it wa fifteen milts, be smiled and said be would walk over to the foot of the moun tain and bark before breakfast as be be- eved it would give bim an sppeiite.and accordingly set out across tne bottom. Alter oreaklaet tbe farm band and another man, wbu was stopping si the place started ont on horseback in the direction he had taken. After they had gone about three mile thev came upon him taking off bis clothes and ln ing beside a little ditch about three feet across, which was running full of water On being asked what be meant, be said mat tie bad ben foolel and was not go ing to be fooled again. On beirg told that tbey could not understand w hat be meant, be re pled : "Well. I started out to walk over to that mountain, thinking it was not more than two miles distant, and have got foole 1, as it looks as far off as ever, and am not going to be t wie-l agai-. l am going to swim this ditch." The Portland Welcome is after Slate Superintendent Irwin in a warm man ner. It says: tie recently i-sued a cir cular, which shows ihst be isn't fit for the principalship of any graded school in tne state Here are a lew specimens of this superintending educator's com position: "to look over tbe statistics one is impressed," etc. He means "by looking," or "in looking." Again: This is also one of the duties of the county superintendent, that he should acquaint himself," etc A man who understands tbe nse of the bngiisii lan guage would have made a shorter, clear er, and stronger sentence by saying: "It is also tbe duty of tbe county superin tendent to acquaint himself," etc., elim inating fire useless and cumbersome ords. tiut. worse tban mi, ne esys: "Where good government, lovsUv, and might forgive the tautology, but the "is," in a superintendent of public in struction's circular to county superin tendents, is unpardonable. A man may re an excellent citizen, ana even a good otticial. who does not understand gram mar, and who has no conception of the proper use of the English language: but he shouldn't bo placed in charge of the educational interests oi the state.
