Alleged Larceny by Bailee En
gineer E. E. Cooper, of this, city, was
arrested last week by the deputy sheriff

of $1000 in favor of several persons
who had been employed on the road,
and gave them to Mr. Cooper to hold
as trustee, pending cert iin negotiations.
The parties in whose favor the notes
were drawn knew nothing of the mat
ter until some time afterward. As the
ucotiations proved unsatisfactory to
Mr. Reid, he wrote to Mr. Cooper
instructing him not to lum over the
notes, but to return, them to him,
threatening to bring suit if he did not
return them. The parties in whose
favor the notes were drawn insisted
that thev be turned over to them, and

Mr. Cooper arrested upon the charge
named and the case was brought in
justice's court. Mr. Cooper has filed
Tvt.ition in the circuit court of Mult

delivering the notes to the- court, as
trustee, pending the decision of the
.,f ' This wou'd throw the case out
of- the justice court and allow the sun
tiio iwnverv of the notes- to be
brought direct against Mr. Reid in
stead of Mr. Cooper.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
The local meeting, of the teachers
held at Superintendent Yates' office in
the court house last Saturday was
largely attended. The exercises were
begun at 10 o'clock, when Prof. Mc
Keen introduced a paper on the use of
" The Word Method in Primary Read
ing." The use of the diacritical marks
is essential in connection with the
word method. As the pupil puts
sounds together to form words, the
pronunciation is correct. Prof. Mc
Keen's paper was marked with good
suggestions and observations.
Miss Newton rend a paper on "The
Alphabetic Method." This method la
imperfect. The pupil cannot read
without spelling the words. The word
is not a synthesis of the letters.
Prof. Bristow did not favor the word
method. It is a failure. Children
must become more familiar with words
by memory as he does with faces.
Don't let a pupil Ie dependent on the
teacher, but lean upon himself to solve
word problems.
Miss Spencer said a combination of
the methods is necessary. One meth
od is impossible.
Prof. Yates said there were many
defects in the word method. The
child cannot go from one word to an
other. But take the old alphabetic
method, that is, the sound of the let
ters. Combine a family of words.
Miss Spencer stated that different
members of a class often repeat the
leader of the class in pronunciation.
Prof. Bristow Teachers ought to
hold that the progress is not to be
measured bv the pages gone over in
the book. Give more than one recita
tion, if necessary to the success of the
pupil.
Miss Newton To dwell loo long,
children onlv commit lessons to mem
ory without knowing it.
The institute adjourned at 12 m, to
meet at 2 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The leading thought introduced in
the afternoon was "Advanced Read
ing." Miss Hoffman's paper suggested
good ideas. Good reading is expected
from more advanced students. Bad
articulation is perfected by practice of
the elementary sounds. Students
should neyer be allowed to read what
they do not understand. Study the
thoughts as well as the words of a
piece.
For reading exercises Miss Spencer
liked the new seriea ot books very well
with the exception that they do not
make sufficient use of the diacritical
marks.
Prof. Yates objected to the third
and fourth books in selections from
unknown authors. Too much of the
nature of fairy tales.
Miss Hoffman Don't always con
fine students to text books.
Mrs. Callahan Children should
study the meaning of words.
Rev. Balantyne urged the necessity
of studying the vocabulary for the
meaning of words.
Miss Spencer Teachers pay too
little attention to the natural tone of
the pupil's voice. Tone down the gut
tural voice. Cultivatehis ear. Vow
els are the best to cultivate the tones,
but for articulation consonants are pre
ferred. Correct bad strains of reading
by modulation. Improvement in read
ing is- very slow.
'Misa-Hoffman thought gymnastics
very good for a class just before going
to read
Prof. Yates A thorough under
standing of what is meant is necessary
to good reading.
The meeting adjourned at 4 p. m.,
after a harmonious ana instructive
- - . J.... T-f
session. Much cream is uuc im.
Yates for his efforts irr behalf of the
institute. Many good idea3 were
Drought out.
ArHrW have been filed with the
secretary of state incorporating the

Tn the case of Srtirle & Deane vs.
the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company
the taking of testimony was concluded
at Portland-yesterday and the argu
ment begun- As Messrs jjicannur,
Bronough and Bryson appear for the
defence, and Messrs. J. K. Weather,
ford, Jos. Teal and J: H. Dickinson
for; the plaintiffs, the argument will
probably be lengthy, but will doubtless
be concluded., and given to the jury
to-day.

COLLEGE MATTERS.
Ed. Gazette: According to notice
given, a meeting of Willamette Grange
was held in their hall in Willamette
precinct, January 15th, for the purpose
of discussing college matters. Profs.
Letch sr and French were present by
invitation from the grange to answer
any questions regarding the manage
ment and workings of the college.
Prof. E. Grimm was also present by
invitation to discuss matters pertaining
to the college.
Major Bruce was chosen chairman
of the meeting, which was called to
order with about twenty present, a
few came later. The chairman pro
ci'cdcd to call for the object of the
meeting. Several communications
were reported and there being no ob
jection they were read. The first was
from the Secretary of the Hoard of
Regents in which he stated that they
(Messrs. Nash' and Cauthorn) were
unable to be present; but that they
would be pleased to have a committee
appointed by Willamette Grange to
investigate the books and accounts of
the college or any other feature of the
institution. The next letter was from
Mrs. II. E. Hayes addressed to the
members of Willamette Grange. In
this communication Mrs. H. gave her
own views regarding the institution
which were based upon a visit of ten
days to the college; and those which
she believed to be the views of Mr,
Hayes upon the matter. This was
made in the absence of Mr. H. to
. i.' i ji
whom certain resolutions iwa ubbh
referred from Willamette Grange. Mrs
H spoke in very high terms ot the
college and its management and be
heved it was worthy of and merited the
hearty support of the farmers of the
stnfft Ar. the close of the letter the
meeting was adjourned until after din
uer. The dinner was furnished by the
ladies present and fully sustained their
reputation for .work of this kind.
After dinner Prof. Grimm mad
quite an extended discussion ot the
disbursements of college and station
funds; basing his grievance ou the
assumption that the college had receiv
ed the benefit of the station appropna
tions. He endeavored to prove this
by referring to the permanent improve
ments and the salaries of the employes,
upon which point he differed in opin-
iou from the Board of Regents. The
arguments were practically tire same as
those which have been presented by
him through the press and were based
upon the erroneous assumption that
the farm belongs to the college instead
of to the station.
Pmf T .etcher was called upon to
make some explanations and said that
the figures preseuted were simply Prof.
Grimm's own views of the matter and
that those presented by the Board of
Regents were their view of the matter.
He also called attention to the fact
that the Board of Regents were the
men appointed by the law to make
this distribution of funds. Hence it
resolved itself into a personal matter
between the Board and Prof. Grimm,
which Prof. G. afterward acknowledged
and further stated he thought the col
le"e was doing good work and was well
worthy of the patronage of the people
of the state. Prof. G. would further
recommend the institution to all who
are seeking an education, and that the
school was the best in the state.
Prof. French took no part in the
discussion of the expenditure f the
funds from the fact that a large portiou
of the charges made by Prof. G. were
prior to the time at which lie became
connected with the institution. He
simply referred to the work of other
similar schools aud the present condi-
tlnn i-f the Oregon Agricultural Col
le"e. He stated that in no particular
had he been led to think that the Uoard
of Regents were not in perfect aympa
thy with the best interests of the farm
pi's of the state.
Tn i-eKimnse to Questions from erao-
oers present riot, urinim stated mm
hft a5 satisfied that tue institution naa
full value for every dollar
expended as- shown m the accounts;
but only objected to tne jxiaras mem-
. . . t T JJ il.
