Visiting Schools. Professor Pow ell has during the past week, visited nearly all the schools in the valley, watching their progress and making suggestions to the teachers. He has made his visits alone and un-announced so as to find the schools in their ordina ry working condition. Scxr Below. Dr. J. C. Belt was sent North by stage on Monday to his friends in Salem. He was quite un willing to leave here and was forcibly Fhnit on the stage, his passage being paid through.

If we nad our say we would-much prefer. j?,,-irrow guage to Crescent Cftv from this Vallev, and it is just possible that if the Central Pa cific is awake to its interest they may p-rceive the advantage of building it before a narrow guagc is pushed South from Roseburg, a work wo believe ser iously contemplated by the owners of the 6. &. C. R. R. Co. H&nnix Lane. The County Com missioners have had a large force of men employed on the troublesome piece of road known as the Herrin lane, and the work done looks more like sensible road work than the trifling work us ually done here. The road has been -ell plowed and thrown up from each side so that the road bed will be high and dry. It is the intention of the Commissioners to let a contract for graveling this piece of road next Fall, when the new road bed becomes solid from the Summer travel. Returned. Most of the. members of Pocohontas tribo who visited Yreka on the 12th returned last Wednesday, ,and for several days stragglers kept coming in till the whole tribe returned in good condition.

They were .surprised to find so much superior civ ilization, so many pretty towns and such a number of churches and school houses nestling among the woods of the far Pacific, but this is something exper ienced by all Eastern people who see Oregon for the first time.

It seems that the law they wished rppealed was approved by the illustrious Washing ton, and Hayes is averse to the repeal of a law considered wise and necessary by "the Father of his country." Capt.

Whipple, 1st Cavalry, Commanding Fort Klamath, passed through Jacksonville last Thursday en route for his post He had been ab sent for nearly six weeks as a. member of a Court Martial at Vancouver, and was accompanied by Dr. Reagle, who relieves Dr. Dixon at Fort Klamath. The commandant expresses tho opinion that the Indians lelonging to tho Klam ath reservation will not be removed. A telegram from Genl. Howard to Governor Thayer intimates that the State law is powerless to punish cow ardly miscreants who have attempted to assassinate unarmed reservation In dians, and says there is a secret organi zation in Umatilla county for the avowed purpose-of murdering Indians. It is the duty of the Governor to en force tho law at any cost or hazard, and if failing, General Howard could then make law for the emergency. PHOEXIV ITE21S. Pucexix, May, 17, 1879. Phoenix is improving and everybody is happy. ' Uncle Sara Colver, with his usual energy in all things, is grubbing out his land in Bear creek bottom.

Most of the material is on the ground and the edi fice will be completed with all possible expedition. . Prof. L. J. Powell delivered a lec ture at Culver's Hall on last Tuesday evening to a fair audience. His sub ject was the "Education of the masses" and it was discussed in a masterly manr ner. E. K. Anderson has about two acres of bedrock to clean up in Ids" '49 -diggings on the mountain side South of town, which will pay well. The school question is still the lead ing topic of discussion. There is talk of calling a special meeting for the purpose of reconsidering the question of a fifteen mill tax for the construc tion of a school house. It is the wish of every right minded citizen that the question may up settled ana mat we. mav soon have a good school house. Com. fet'AR IS SIJIXP. From Vi r. J. R. Cameron, a gentle man of the largest experience in hand ling sheep in Scotland, Australia and on this coast, wo have learned some im portant facts with regard to the treat ment of "scab." The gentleman refer red to has tried every known remedy but prefers the simple tobacco dip, made by boiling one pound of tobacco in four gallonarof water, for twenty minutes, to all others. This remedy not only kills the germ of the insect and invigorates the growth of the wool, but insures a bright strong staple. All remedies containing mineral poi sons, such as mercury, should be care fully avoided, as in moist weather their application often produces fatal results. Great care should be taken to treat every sheep and lamb as if a sin gle one is neglected the insect prbpoga ting so rapidly the work will have been in vain. Mr. Cameron says there is no reason why "scab" should be so preva lent, and his opinion is entitled to great weight as he is regarded as the most thorough sheep raiser in South ern Oregon. The Wjltos Troupe. The two en tertainments given by that favorite and talented company came fully up to public expectation. The first nfcht the play of "The Drunkard Jwpu .on raostagyanJ Mih. vyilfrbw ?orfrtf of "Madeline" was excellent On the second night "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was played, both Mr. and Mrs. Wilton sus taining the leading parts admirably and evidently meeting with the approba tion of the audience. This troupe will play East Lynne at Veit's to-night and we bespeak for them a good house and can assure the public that their enter tainment is of such a character that entitles it to liberal patronage.

On Saturday evening last, Professor Pow ell, State Superintendent of Public In struction, delivered a lecture on "Edu cational matters." The weather bein" O very disagreeable the attendance was not large, but those present learned some plain practical truths with regard to education that should awaken agreat er interest in so important a work. The lecture was neither an effort at or atory nor a finished essay on the sub ject of education, but rather a plain ana forcible illustration of conclusions, forced upon the speaker by his obser vations of tho practical working of our crude and imperfect, system. Mr. Powell dwelt at length on the high po sition and responsibility of teachers; of the necessity of co-operation on the part of parents and the community at large, and called attention to the un reasonableness of expecting efficient and faithful service without adequate compensation. In Mr. Powell's opin ion the County Superintendent shou notbe't, mere Ssrurfi head, aftjirfcinrrl? uTTesoTtheroEce to Ao.-ne other . o , ,,. ness, but should be a man thorough! conversant with education, giving hU undivided time and earnest, faith fu supervision to the schools cf his coun ty, and be paid a fair, living salary for his services. The speaker said, truth fully, that no matter what the cost of public education was it was money well invested bread cast upon the waters j and deprecated an imperfect systen that permitted the control of schools by illiterate inefficient or careless teach ers, whose labor was worse than wasted. The Professor's remarks were well re ceived, and if his own earnest work re sults in the practical benefit that.'Sght to follow it the schools of this State will soon reach a higher standard of efficiency. Teacher's Institute. We take the liberty to ngain call the attention of the teachers of this county to the In stitute, to be convened here under the direction of the State Superintendent on Thursday evening next The Insti tute is established by law, although the attendance of teachers is not requir ed by law, it being expected, we sup pose that teachers would avail them selves of its advantages without com pulsion. Teachers heretofore have manifested but little interest in the In stitute, and havo done themselves and their classes a great injustice. There is no teacher in this county, or indeed n niiv m.t.Hi' .MIIIllU- !. if. lt ,?n jl-rn .1 ficiQnt that he or she could not learn something about their profession by at tending a session of the Institute and carefully observing the experience and ideas of other teachers) by interchange of thought and by mutual consultation as to the most successful modes of im parting knowledge. We again call on teachers of every class to attend this Institute, They should not only re-gai-d it as a matter of duty but consid er it a privilege; an opportunity that should not be wasted. They are not expected to take any part in the pro ceedings if they do not desire to do so, but their presence is expected as an in dication that they take some little in terest in their profession, and are wil ling to spend a little time in increasing their own usofulness. This session is to be made a test of tho zeal of teach ers in their work, and as ample provis ion has been made for their accommo dation, free of expense, it will be diffi cult to offer a reasonable excuse for non-attendance. School Book Decision. A very important decision has just been ren dered in the case of A. L. Bancroft it Co. vs. The State Board of Education of this State. The case was tried in the U. S. District Court and Judge Deady held that a contract made with 'Bancroft it Co., by the late Board of T'hirgtinn was voidficansethejfoard f went beyond the scope of their author- i " ity. This leaves the County Superin tendents free to vote for such text books as their judgment may select, and they can hardly select any worse than the "Pacific Series." When the change was made from tho Wilson series we considered it a serious blow to our common schools, as that of the Magoffey series is far superior intel lectually and morally to the series adopted. The constant change of text books is an expensive and intolerable nuisance, but if it is to be made super intendents voting for it should vote to adopt the very best in use or fall un der the suspicion of acting from im proper motives. Mr. Moller's Condition. From Dr. Aiken, Sir. Moller's attending physician, we learn that the injured man is doing quite as well as could be expected. There are strong hopes 1 that his right leg may bo saved and that amputation will not have to be resorted to, but the fracture is so bad that it is difficult to say with any de gree of certainty what the result will be. Mr. Moller is an Odd Fellow and is receiving all the care that can be given him by the order, A Nice Pet. Al Sturgis, of Union, town, was presented with a "cinna mon" cub a few days ago. He was an innocent little pet, educated in a saloon, graduating in all the arts of hoodlum ism and Al was very proud of him. He filled him with milk, boxed; him up and stowed him under the wagon seat and started for home. For a mile or so the cub was quiet, but at last he gave an unearthly squall directly under Mrs. Sturgis and tho team started to run. Al is accustomed to sing to his team so he tuned up in opera style and the lander he? sang the louder yelled the cub till he reached home. That night he unloaded him, and in the middle of the night he escaped, and when "Al" got up, armed with a shot-gun, he found the pet trying to break open the cellar door. Next morning Al was going away and put his pet in tho warehouse for safe keep ing. Soon as the proprietor left his wife heard an earthquake and pro ceeding to the warehouse found bruin boxing bottles and packages of grocer ies irom mo sneivesi ine vuoor. ttoJ ow- nllu uroKen glass, and tho fumes of whiskey had so excited the pet that Mrs. S. was forced to back out When Al returned the pet wa.l tied in the yard, and while the family were at supper the bear smelt honey (tfniim A I.

One ot our"& sonville men talks in his sleep, and the other morning he came down to break fast and saw a very thin bill of fare. "Wife," he exclaimed, looking around dosperately, "what's tho matter, no beef steakl" "Economy, my dear," she re plied sweetly, "fact is I was at the club last night and luck was just awful, and I went through on a pat hand; its rough to get a flush beat and I just be lieve it was a cold deal or J. raised a full on me an ace full, and I thought we could do without steak this mor nintj.

There was an empty chair at the club that even ing, a great improvement in the next matudinal bill of fare and a Spring hat less at the milliner's. . Bad Conduct.. Sonio of tho boys and young men of this place seem to re gard a place of public entertainment as a fit place for the public exhibition of ill breeding. We are sorry to have to call the attention of our youth to the fact that a show of impoliteness in a public assembly before ladies, some of them their own mothers or sisters per haps, is no more in keeping than if it were in a private parlor. Wo hope that the boys who attend the next per formance given hero will remember that yelling, stamping and hooting in the presence of ladies is an offense against common politeness, and no evi dence whatever of smartness. Religious. The Fourth Quarterly meeting for Jacksonville circuit, M. E. Church, will be held at Grant's Pass on the 31st of May and the 1st of June. First service on Saturday tho 31st at 11 A. m.

Recovering We are glad to note that Miss Emma Is ail, lately sent to the Asylum at East Portland, is fast recovering her health and intellect, and it is thought she will soon be returned to her friends. A private letter from Capt. Fount- leroy just on going to press informs us that he will be hero shortly in behalf of a narrow gauge R. R. from)Cresccnt City to Rogue river valley. We will refer to its contents next week. It is reported that Capt S. G. Whip ple has been ordered before the Retiring Board at San Francisco. He will probably be relieved from active duty and placed on the retired list on two. thirds pay. Chas. J. Howard, County Surveyor, has returned from Josephine county. Miss Klla Prim.
