" We are informed by one of our proiiri nent citizens that Goldendale is nearer rail road communication than ever. It - is reported that a party of surveyors are going over the Hunt survey from the mouth of Bock Creek to Wallula. The supposition is, while at the present time the Hunt lines are in the hands of receiver, the lines will be sold in . the near future to parties that will put the same through to Portland over Hunt' survey. It is a well known fact that bond holders of rail roads are not going to let their properties or securities in the hands of a receiver .. any longer than possible. Sentinel. . Our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr, . Matthew Randall, was presented yester dy, on the occasion of the anniversary of his birth, with a very handsome and elaborately carved antique Cane together '. with nearly three-quarters of a yard of an address. The presentatiSn was made by a few friepns as a token of their. Jove and esteem "which was truly remark able" at the' store" of McEachern A MacLeod. . The presentation address was made by . W. L. Lochhead and it took Mr. Randall so completely by sur prise that in reply he proposed a toast to the Duke of Wellington. Jim Harper is death on rats, so George Runyon and George Joles this morning placed a dead rat between two sacks of feed in the store room back of the Joles Brother's store, with the tail and hind quarters sticking out so that Jim could see it. . Then George Joles laid a club in a handy place and awaited Jim's arrival at the store. When the latter entered he immediately went into the store room. Presently : George Joles called out "There's that blamed rat again, Jim." "Yes," chipped in George Run- yan "it has gone across to the onion sacks." So Jim seized the club,- as he spied the tail and hind quarters of the dead rat and struck a vigorous blow which missed jt; then another that hit it and then as the boys began to laugh at the waste of energy, Jim went out to thejexpresa stand and asked Bert Camp bell to-kick him all over town. County Court Proceedings. The county court met yesterday, pur suant to adjournment. Present-r-C. N. Thornbury, county judge; H. Leavens and Frank Kincaid, commissioners; George A. Morgan, dep uty county clerk ; and Phirman, deputy sheriff. The claim of C. L. Richmond, for jurors' fees, which had been laid over for explanation, was explained and allowed; $14.20. The petition of . Seufert Brothers for a road of easement was consid ered and it was ordered that E. L. Sharp surveyor, Emit Schano, R. G. Clbster, and Leander Davis be appointed to view, survey, lay out and appraise dam ages, if any, in the matter. To meet at the commencement of said proposed road on Monday, the 1st of Febfuary 1892, at. 10 o'clock a. m. Road No. 94 business report received and approved. Bill of J. S. Francisco, for digging grave for pauper, $5.00, allowed. Sundry bills of E. Shutz, justice of the peace, fees which had been laid over for explanation, allowed. The petition of Y. E. McCormick and others, asking the county court to make an appropriation for the employment of the services of the "Interstate Artificial Rain" company was considered. The court did not think themselves justifi able in appropriating any public funds for experiments ; but thought that if the said company would produce two inches of rainfall in the months of May or Vune it would be entirely willing to make the appropriation. Parties pres ent offered to contribute, .from their pri vate funds for an experiment. The court then adjourned until 8 o'clock p. m. to hear the citizens in rela tion to assessment. 8 o'clock p.m. The court met and conferred with citizens in relation to levy of assessment. It. appearing that the county assessors return of taxable property for the year after deducting the exemption and in debtedness amounts to $2,660,036 and that the state board has made an in crease raising this amount to $2,942,908 and this board after having consulted citizens and taxpayers both in private and at a public meeting called for that purpose, the court has concluded that the levy shall be made on the basis of the countv assessor's assessment That for all county purposes we need about $34,580 which could be raised by a county levy of thirteen mills but on ac count of the urgent need of more appro priations for roads and bridges through out the county we will levy an additional two mills which will be used for roads and bridges thus making the levy for all purposes state school" and general levy 25 mills. It is therefore ordered that there be and there hereby is levied on the basis of the county, assessor's returns the following tax towit : For county purposes including roads and bridges, 15 mills ; for ' state, as per state levy, 5 mills ; for schools (regular) 5 mills. Making a total of 25 mills. The clerks bill for the past two months was $1,377 tne snenn s si.187.uu. The bills of county commissioners Leavens and Kincaid were $27 and $30 respectively.

In Watson's Complete Speller use the easy lines in each .lesson first; after wards the harder ones. Drawing may be introduced to alter- nate with writing at the option of the school. ' In all grades particular attention should Be paid to correct use of lan image. .All the theory of grammar in the world will not amount to much the pupil is., not trained to speak the English language correctly. In earlier grades than the eighth phy siology may .be taught by object lessons or the use of Smith's Primary Physi-. ology.. . . w It must be remembered 'that moral in struction is. called for by the law and of necessity is required. The education of the child intellectually, without correct moral principles as the foundation -of character.-may lie a curse . instead of a blessing." "Ethics for Young People, by . C. C. Everett is an excellent text book for such instruction, and ' should be ln every" school in the county .v v V?" No full explanation of the manner- of teaching each branch is presented until the. course of studv is. finally .arranged and adopted. REMARKS. In presenting this course of study it is hoped that while waiting for its final adoption, every one interested will give it their careful study, and the public the benefit of their criticism. Adverse crit icism is not feared half so much as apathy in regard to it. That there are grave difficulties to be met with in regarding the country school, some of which cannot be wholly overcome, none will attempt . to deny. But, that there are great benefits, on the other hand, to be derived from it, can be equally well shown. Semeof them are here presented. As the work now stands in the coun try school, there is nothing tangible to work to or from. There is no beginning or ending. There is nothing definite the mind of either teacher or pupil as to what constitutes a completion of his studies in the common school. In the graded course there would be a'carefully prepared plan arranged by the best ed ucators of the countv, gleaned from the' ripe experience of others all over our broad land, and the pupil could have I the satisfaction of knowing that when he had passed through the course and gained a i-ertain per cent, there was something -finished, something com pleted. -: No education is wholly finished in this life, but why, we ask, should not the pupil have a diploma given him when he has completed the common school course, as a reward for his labor, as well as one who finishes the university or college course? It is believed that the granting of such a diploma by the county board of examiners, which the .graded course contemplates, would be p. grand Incentive to the pupil. Lessening the number of classes it would give the pupil the benefit of a longer recitation, and save the teacher's time so that he could do more and bet ter work with each class. An examination would be held at the close of each term, and a certificate of standing given each pupil. At the beginning of next term if there were a change of teachers, the place of each pupil would be accurately known the first day, instead of the new teacher turning them all back to the first of the book and spending several weeks to know where they belonged. If the graded course were adopted for the schools of the county, it would still be optional with the boards of each dis tnct whether they accepted it or not, so that no harm could come from it in 'any event. Many other reasons might be urged in its favor, but these are given with the hope and the prayer that whatever may be done will redound to the benefit of our school ". Troy Shelley, Superintendent.

BUTIiEt & CO., THE LEADERS" IN Was It Snlrtdo. A man has been seen walking along the river front for the last few cjays looking anxiously into the water. This morning he was seen to run down the roadway at a break-neck speed and jump headlong into the river. It seems he had heard that a case of Quaker Oats had been lost off the dock and he thought he would jump in and find it. The only thing that kept him from becoming McGinty's patner was the cake of com pressed yeast he bad in his pocket, which raised him quickly to the surface aud saved his life.
