Communication,
n Ei-uene City, Sept. 3, 1SS5.
I am attempting, by abstract reasouing.
to determine, if possible, whether cr not
the parent of children who are of proper
school age (as determined by the Oregon
school law) are doing their duty to their
children, namely, sending them regularly to
school.
By careful inquiry, I am able to produce
the following figures, from which I deduce
my result: 1 understand that the popula
tion of this place, according to the last cen
sus, is about 1S00. We may reasonably sny
that two-thirds of this number, or I'.'OO,
would represent the children Imin infancy
to 21 year of age. Of this number, say 50
per cent, or Go6, would represent the boys
and girl of proper school ages, all of w hom,
it ought reasonably to bo expected, should
be iu attendance at school. Eighty-five of
this number are in attendance at the Uni
versity. This leaves a balance of 513 ssy
500 in round numbers school children in
town. Iain informed that at the commence
ment of our publiu school here there is an
enrollment of about 200. This leave 300
yet unaccounted for. Later in the season,
owing to certain contingencies, I am told,
such as farmers being late about gathering
their crops and disposing of them, &c, on
which account childreu are necessarily de
tained at home, the number enrolled at
school increases until there is a total enroll
ment of about 400. Of the 200 who come
in later in the season, ssy 100 of them
(which must be a very large allowance) are
from town. This leaves a balance of 2Q0
children who, for some reasoo or other, are
not in attendance at school. ,
The question now naturally suggests itself,
What is being done for these children? If
the parents of the children do not answer
this question and act accordingly, their chil
dren in after years will answer it for them
in a most cntphatio but not very creditable
manner. This place, I , apprehend, is not
unlike many others in our land. , There nre
thousands of children in this country that,
by rights, ought to be in school who are
idly lounging about the street, being thereby
schooled in lawlessness, laziuoss, vice and
crimo. In the face of such a state ol affairs,
can we expeci; otherwise , than to see our
courts thronged with cririunnls, our alms
house filled with paupers,' and our streets
thr nigral with precarious individuals of no.
madia tenor, who prey continually upon the
hospitality of industrious and morally dis
posed people. Lot the children be sent to
school and the school tax will be more cheer
fully anil liberally voted to build a barrier
agrunst ignorance, vice Itid crime. Societies
nre org.mizn.l and supported by charitably
disponed people, tlio object of which is to
natch from the slouch of despondency
wrecks of beings that have been thus manu
factured by neglect
Tho above deductions are, as I ,said be
fore, simply abstract. Thty may be incor
rect, but the probability is they are not. Be
it as it way, wn would enjoin the parents to
educate their children at all Ii.i7.irdi.
Our publiu school here i t open on the
14th inst, at which time I shall be pleased
to spy and gladly welcome all children who
will come to school. Yourohuiligut servant,

Father Opchurch Reception.
Lst Thursday evening the A. O. U, W.
in Eugene, tendered the founder of their
order, Father Upchun;! a reception at
Lane's 11, ill. On account of the mixing of
dates, the crowd wm not uc.tr so large as it
would have been if he had coiuo ou the day
advertised, last Tuesday evening, Eugene
lodge inarched to the hall in a body and
were escorted to front seats which hail been
reserved for them. After a pieco of music
by the string band, J'ther Upchnrcli was
introduced by the President of the nitetiug,
Mr F v Osburn. He gave a clear and
concise account of tlio founding of the order
at Mcadvillo, Pa, in 1808. To show the
growth of the order he said there were only
800 members in 1373, while to-dny it num
bers over 152,000, having gained 12,000 dur
ing the past year, lie ia not uu orator, but
gives his hearers a regular common-plac
talk, which is very attMotivc. Judges Beau
and Valtou each entertained the audience
also fur a few minutes in remarkably well
written and delivered addresses.
Standard Pcblishino Co. The Daily

stock of the company is $25,000, divided

in part as follows: "The enterprise, busi
ues.', pursuit and occupation in which this
corporation proposes to engage is the print
ing and publishing of one or more news
papers and tlio doing of a general printing
business in the State of Oregon, and to do
all things necessary or incidental to said
business." We hear that in the near future
the paper will appear as a morning paper
with iull dispatches. We hope that such'
may be the case,' as the Democracy is'ssdl
in need of a first-class paper in that city.

which the law yt'l makes sacred because ol
their scarcity. It i also a crime to trap

Sensible. We lake the following from
the Portland Daily Telegram; Tho question
of keeping the Willamette- river open to
light draught navigation as far a Eugene
City, 1S4 mile from it mouth, ia one of
great importance to the people ot tho valley.
Itailroad can never quite supply the place
of water courses in inland commerce, and to
surrender these last to (hosts and mags is
ripening a wide door for the benefit of cor
poration and closing an important avenue
by which a syndicate of farmers and trades
people may bo enabled, when necessary, to
relieve themselves of oppressive transporta
tion rates. The only work now being done
on this long waterway, beset with stisgs and
iiOiiicrnu shunls, ft that by the , old sung
boat. As in time past, thi craft is render
ing good service, but auxiliary work, in the
way nf dredging, etc., is greatly needed, and
indeed, must be had in the near future, or
the bottom of the river will appear in many
pla- where, ten or fifteen years ago, light
draught boat made ordiuary easy ascent
Tin Orkoon Pacific The Portland News
has it from good authority that the Oregon
Pacific Itailroad Company will soon begin
work on the extension east toward Boise
City, Idaho, where connection will be msde
with the Chicago and Northwestern, It is
said that the Mount JelTersnn or Minto pass
has been selected as the route through the
Cascades. The route will be from Corvallis
cortheasterly along the Willamette to Al
bany, crosses the South S.ntiam south of
the mouth of Thomas creek, and crosses
near North Scio tn the North Santiam. A
man well known in railroad circle . (aid he
had definite knowledge that work would be
begun within a month and, ventured the'
prophecy that Boise City would be reached
by next Spring, and by June 13, 188(i, trains
woald be running direct from the East to

Introduced on the Oregon & California railroad

their small fare, and I ride In the old fashlonsd
cnaah- yet the traveler who want to combine
pleasure and comfort with his business Invaria
bly rents his seat in th Pullman parlor for th
day, and hi section In the sleeper at night
The cars on this raad ar th finest running nn
any western road, and one of them, th Alba
ny. wa awarded the premium at the late New
Orleans' fair. The principal source nf pleasure
in riding in a Pullman is in the distance from
the engine, which preclude getting, the eye
full of smoke as in the fnrwaid cars, and the
smoothness with which it passes over the rails,
with hardly a jar or jolt The upholstering
has much to do with the ease In ridinu there
too, as every corner is heavily oushloneiL The
rates ar low, being hut twenty five cent
extra for Pullman privileges, between Port
land and Albany, Portland to Eugene $1, tn
Hnseburg $l.bO, and to Ashland, from Portlsnd
$3.50. The rate from Roseburg to Ashland for
sleeper 1 $2.00.
