Visiting Schools. Professor Pow

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

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

such a number of churches and school
houses nestling among the woods of the
far Pacific, but this is something exper

Oregon for the first time. Judge Lev

PresKBwill certainly meet with the
approval of the people at large, even if
distasteful to the Confederate Brig

that the law they wished rppealed was
approved by the illustrious Washing

of a law considered wise and necessary
by "the Father of his country."

relieves Dr. Dixon at Fort Klamath.
The commandant expresses tho opinion
that the Indians lelonging to tho Klam

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

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.

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

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.

jfnoFEssoR Powell's Lecture. 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

-Kigid JicoNOMT. One ot our"&

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

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

we could do without steak this mor

. 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.
