Mr. Fen Batty has just received aj letter from Gilliam, Minn., enquiring j about the prospects for location in the Wapinitia country of eight . families which intend to leave for Oregon this spring. There is still room on the pub lic lands on Wapinitia Flat for twenty or thirty settlers who could find as good homes on as good land "as there is in Eastern Oregon. Now that a grade ' up Tygh Hill is an assured fact all this land will double in value during the present year. . - '.A Painful Accident. The' 'seven year -old son of , Jacob Weltle of Chenowith Creek met with a very painful accident yesterday that re sulted in the breaking of one of his legs in three places. The lad and his mother had been visiting at the residence of Mr. Marquis, and just-as the boy had climbed upon the wheel of the wagon that was going to take him home the team, a span of mules, started on the run ;' the boys leg was caught in the spokes near . the : hub and whirled around with the rapidly revolving wheel. As soon as the foot dropped from be tween the spokes, the lad fell in front of the wagon when the wheel ran over the already fractured lee. . Dr. Hollister went out last night to reduce the frac ture and he reports the boy doing as well as could be expected. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1892 V. S. DEPARTMENT OK AGRICULTURE, WEATHER BUREAU.

Examples of School-Hsrm Erudition There is never a teacher's examination that is not followed by a growl at some body or something, by the defeated can didates and the school superintendent generally comes in for his full share of abuse. Of course it is a pity that ever body who applies for a certificate cannot get one, but the best possible justifica tion of our excellent superintendent lies in the fact that many of those who would be teachers of others, need often to be 'taught themselves the simplest rudiments of a common school education The following answers were given to questions put before, the candidates for teacher's certificates at the. last exami nation held at this place. Of course no names are given. In fact the Chronicle reporter does not know who furnished any of the answers, and does not want to know. Q .What is a water shed ? '.. Ans.

Privations Undergone- by Mounted Mail Carriers of the Rural Sooth. The Star route mail service of this country has made many men rich and kept many men poor. The mail carrier who jogs along the muddy country roads in this state generally has not an extra coat to his back and few extra dollars in . . i . mi . - j i 1 nis pocKei. me Dig contractor, ou vu other hand the man who buys up many routes from the government frequently has more money than he knows what to do with. At least, other persons, es pecially the humble mail carrier, some times thinks so. However, the profit in this business is not what it once was, by. a good deal, for competition, that leveler of incomes, is now close. - -i The contract lasts four years, begin ning with July 1. Every route must be bid for separately and a separate bond given for each. The government is very particular in this respect. The bids are made according- to the weight of the mail to be carried, the distance of the route and the number of times per week it has to be carried. , In few if any cases does the man who makes the successful bid parry the mail himself, for generally one. man or one firm gets several hun dred of the contracts. The contractor then sublets, the "routes to men who agree to carry it for so much per year. There is generally a vast difference be tween his idea of what it costs to carry the mail and the government's, y ; . It is said that some carriers, who have to work' every day; do not -make fifty cents per diem. . Besides, they have to furnish their own conveyance.. It is generally carried on . horseback, though a buggy, a 'bus or a stage may be used. This, in fact, is the distinctive charac teristic of a Star route as different from other forms of mail service. The gov ernment does not Specify how it shall be carried. The hardships of the street car driver are nothing compared with the suffering that some of the mail carriers in this state have to undergo. In rain, snow, sleet or hail they have to take their long daily rides. The thermometer may get so low that cattle freeze in the field, but the mail carrier is supposed to be invul nerable for the pay of nfty cents a day. He has to catch trains on pain of losing his contract, and thereby forfeiting his bond, when the roads are little less than beds of quicksand. - He has to feed his horse, feed, himself and family, not to mention clothing and the expense of keeping his vehicle in order, if he uses one, for fifty cents a day. They must be wonders of economy, these mail car riers. in some portions oi tne state, espe cially in the southeastern part, the mail carrier has to go only once a week. There are places not fifty - miles from Louisville where mail is received only three times a week. Tne carrier, how ever, has one thing to compensate for his small pay, where mail, is delivered only once a week. He is a very 'im portant personage there-outranking the country squire, except when the exam ining trial of a murderer is to be held. An eager crowd, who have not' heard from the outer world for six days, await his arrival. The first sight 6f hinv as his horse turns a bend in the country road, is a village sensation, the greatest probably since he made his last trip. In addition to the mail he carries the gos sip of other neighborhoods and the news . from the entire outer world. - When he alights from his horse and stretches his limbs he is quickly the cen ter of a crowd of eager inquirers. Thus his small pay and many privations are not without their reward. Louisville Fur the Children.- ' "In buying a cough medicine for children," says H. A. Walker, a- promi nent druggist of Ogden, TJtahv-"never be afraid to buy Chamberlain's .Cough Remedy. There is no danger fi om it and relief is always sure to follow.
