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

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.

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
