Under the date of Feb. 20th the As
toria chamber" of' commerce has
draughted a memorial to congress in
tended as additional proof and substan
tiation of the one recently sent by the
same body, relative to matters now pen
ding regarding proposed appropriations
for deepening the channels of the Wil
lamette and Columbia rivers. The
memorial insists that the figures con
tained in the circular letter of the cbam
ber of commerce, already presented to
the river and harbor committee, were
furnished by pilots whose business
necessitates constant and correct know!
edge on these important findings; that
the proposed "improvement" if carried
into effect would impair the work at the
the toouth of the river by setting in
motion silt; sedement and gravel that
would create a bar which the govern
raent has recently and at great cost
successfully removed; that the proposed
channel is of purely local import, and
should not obtain an appropriation
which might occasion the cutting down
of those necessary for anterior protests In
course of construction, and that the 'pro
posed creation of the "port of Portland
is contrary to the Immutable laws of
nature and would result in detriment' to
the reparian interests of our sister state,
by diverting the natural channel of the
Columbia river to the southern shore,
The memorialists claim to 'be actual ted
solely oy public motives in maintaining
that-their former and present exhibit
show most conclusively .the hi justice of
an' effort to induce governmental die
crimination against the needful interests
of the entire northwest, merely to aid a
private and local project. They do not
oppose the Portland project but protest
against diverting needful appropriations
for work on the river now in successful
progress to apply to a new and irapos
sible task. Ihere. can be no question
that Astoria is correct in her position in
this controversy. The figures furnished
by the chamber of commerce are taken
from recent surveys made, by the pilots
and not from data furnished by govern
ment engineers years agi. The depth
of the channel in the lower Columbia
is fully adequate to all the necessities of
the present inland " commerce. Till
other works of infinitely ' more general
importance to Oregon, Washington and
Idaho have been attended to it will be
time enough to talk about the doubtful
project of deepening the channel from
Portland to Astoria.
Under the new laws regulating the in
conies of county officers in the state of
Washington the cost to the taxpayers of
maintaining these offices is about One-
fourth what it was under the old fee sys
terfi which was similar to that Which
prevails in Oregon. The sheriff of
Walla Walla county, for exam pie, gets" a
-salary of $1,800 a year. The sheriff of
such a county in Oregon would get not
less than $10,000 and possibly $15,000.
There is no complaint of a dearth of can
didates in our sister state and - there is
no proof that the county offices are not
filled" by thoroughly competent md.
The same would be true of Oregon if the
incomes of the county clerks and sheriffs
were placed at reasonable fixed" salaries
instead of fees so enormously dispropor
tionate to the average capicity of the in
cumbents that clerical ability in a ' : cari
didate is infinitely less- a qualification
for office than' is the ability to! 'command
votes.
There is truth enough to fill a whole
library in the following -exchange clip
ping: ''If Patsy Egan' wants 'to make
friends with the London papers and the
democratic papers of this country, he
can do so by favoring free trade and vot
ing the democratic ticket.: The newspa-
ponal combination of England 'and this
country, would then applaud him to the
skies as a brilliant statesman and
diplomat of unrivaled ability; ' .

Teachers Institute.
A number of teachers and their friends
met at the school building in the"" enter
prising -town . of Dufur fop their ' local '
teachers4' institute on the 19th.
i "Promptly at 10 o'clock Sunt. Shelley !
called the ".meeting to; order,- and an
nounced," that the first exercise would
be a song of we'eome by the Dufur high
school. Miss Kate Cronm was then
elected secretary of the institute."":
Supt." Shelley's introductory address
was earnest and forcible, showing the
useful ness of - teachers'-- institutes and
advising teachers to attend them when
ever they could. After this address an
opportunity was given for all teachers to
sign the roll. Twelve teachers from
various parts of the country were thus
enrolled. The subject of arithmetic was
then presented by P. P. Underwood, who
asked why we study arithmetic, and
answered his own question' by saying
that it was for practical use in after life;
and urged the teachers to seek for defi
nite results. The things to be accom
plished would require a thorough knowl
edge of the fundamental principles of
arithmetic. '.Therefore," take -time, and
lav the - foundation well : require neat
ness in the work of the child, thereby
teaching other things than numbers.
The morning session was closed by a
song by the school, which. Prof. Frazier
said was for the old people. We enjoyed
it. After the Underwood exercise . in
arithmetic", Mr. Hinman gave us an
teresting talk on writing. Writing ' was
an art not a science, illustrated ' and
described muscular movement. Favored
practice paper rather than copy books.
At 1 :30 the institute again took up the
work and after two songs , sung by the
school, which were well received by the
andience, Supt.: Shelley -announced
Prof. A. Frazier as the first speaker and
his subject orthography. He had pre
pared an exercise on .the board. The
Eounds of the vowels, had been classified
into long and short sounds; and on this
exercise he drilledlhe teachers. Showed
bow teachers could easily prepare such
exercises for use in their own schools,
urging them to drill on this work fre
quently. . o
Miss Kate Cronin "of The Dalles then
gave the institute a very able paper, the
subject of which was "Enthusiasm in
the Work." She spoke first of the im
portance of enthusiasm in the teacher's
work. If on entering the work, you do
not find yourself becoming enthused, it
would be well to examine yourself ; and
see if there is not something lacking;
and if still you find no enthusiasm in
the work, it wbuld be better to seek
omer lines, ratner man to remain in
this, which requires so much enthusiasm
Alt should be enthusiastic, school boards,
superintendents, teachers, patrons of our
schools, and the citizens of our country,
for if we love our country we ' should be
very much in earnest,' in regard to the
education of the coming citizen ; for it" is
only when a people become ignorant and
corrupt, that they become incapable of
self government. We 'know that truth
and right have the universe on our side.
On the subject of physiology, Supt.
Shelley said that teachers were now re
quired to be. examined on this subject.
Man had a three1 fold nature, the mental,
the moral, the physical, and all should
be developed, not one at the expense of
the others. But this "development
should be delegated to the teacher. "He
condemned the process that graduated
the child from the schools at too young
an age..
An essay by Miss Edith Peabody
showed much study, and presented many
useful thoughts.
Mr. Underwood in his talk on reading
favored word method and the alphabet
combined. JBelieved in' reading charts.

Mr. Shelley spoke on the thoroughness
in the work. Its importance and lasting.
An essay Dy auss v anderpool was in-1
structive and interesting.
A discussion of the subject, Shall the
state furnish text .books free of cost, was
supported by Messrs-Hinman and 'An
derson, and was opposed "by Miss" Kate
Cronin and Mr.. Dufur. The judges
decided in favor of the affirmative. ;

Hastings and Ada Jackson. The choir
sang a negro-song in which a solo by Mr.

kind favors extended to the teachers at
this institute in which the band, church
trustees, and choir were remembered

ted to its success. Another song by the
choir and school, closed this delightful
session. A. Teacher.
