Minor Events Which Pertain to City
and Country.
Don't fail to read the reviaed version
of the Bible on the first page.
Reports come in that the farmers are
plowing in some localities in Sherman
county.
The Portland probability man fore
casts vc.ither for tomorrow, and says

The assessable property of the dis
trict is $1,413,434, and a 4-mill tax
would raise the sum of $5,653.73.
The retiring school clerk last year gave
in as resources the item of $1,000 delin
quent taxes. Mr. E. Jacobsen has col
lected of this amount $997.80.
"How did you like the result ( the
prize fight?" was asked a minister of
The Dalles today. "I was very much
disappointed," he replied, "I was in
hopes they would both get killed."
Farmers in the city today complain of
cattle eating hay from their wagons
while the owners are doing business in
town. This is one of the small ' nuis
ances, but exasperating, that should not
be allowed to exist.
At the school meeting this afternoon
the universal desire was to increase the
school room and the number of grades
up to what they should be. It is safe to
say that all of these 'matters will be
compassed by the March meeting.
Laborers at the Cascade locks com
plain of their employers and say that,
while they are paid $1.50 per day, they
are charged $4.50 a week for board, and
that they are laid off so much during the
month that it - takes all their wages to
pay board and for a few necessaries from
the company's stores. Hood River

A son of W. S. Locke, while hauling
cordwood at White Salmon, fell off the
sled, which ran up on his breast and
stopped. As there was nearly a cord of
wood on the sled, it is little less than
miraculous that ' he' was not killed.
Fortunately the accident wrs seen and
the sled pried off the boy in a few
moments. Glacier.

A 4-MILU TAX LEVIED.
A Disposition Also Apparent to Increase
Boom and Grades. .
.. The school meeting this afternoon was
well attended. Clerk Jacobsen read the
call and financial statement and Chair
man Orion Kinersly- ' announced ' the
meeting open for ".- discussion'. . ' Mr.'
Adams, of the board, said that without
making any improvements or paying
any indebtedness it would be necessary
to levy a 4-mill tax t pay the current
expenses, and that was the recommend
ation of the board. Remarking further,-
Mr. Adams said the school capacity was
taxed, to its utmost, and that more
room must be provided. Notwithstand
ing the big fire which burnt so many
out, and so- many ran away," that there
were more children than -we ever had
before in the world and that something
must be done to increase the school
room. There are 500 pupils now,' with
eleven teachers, which were already too
many ; pupils per teacher." -The only
question was as to the best method of
increasing the room capacity, and that
to do so would require more than a 4
mill tax. In the item of receipts was
$200 for tuition, and 'fifty others from
the country have made application for
attendance, but it cbuld not be granted
for lack of room.
Mr. C. L. Phillips then moved that a
4-mill tax be' levied, which was seconded.
Judge Bradshaw said that there was
another very important matter that had
not been touched upon, besides the lack
of room for teachers.- That was that the
schools of The Dalles are three "grades
lower than provided - for by law for a
common school education, and that by
turning out pupils at the age of 14 or 15
years, we were not doing, our duty to
the rising generation.
Mr. H. C. Neilson also spoke in favor
of increasing the grades to the proper
number, and wanted to know what
would be the extra expense of equipping
a 10-grade school. He said he heartily
seconded Judge Bradshaw, and spoke
very ironically of being compelled to
send children to Dufur or Hood River to
learn what should be taught at The
Dalles.
Mr. Jack Eiton was in favor of voting
a 6-mill tax. He said the old indebted
ness had hung upon us long enough.
He favored having the. tax enough
not only to pay a portion of the in
debtedness, but to build with. That another-
building was needed, more grades
added and more teachers employed.
He said that a Mr. Hill was paying $600
a year to educate two of his children in
the higher grades that should be taught
here, that the expense here would only
be half that sum and the money would
remain at home. He finally amended
the motion to levy a 6-mill tax.
Mr. Adams again took the. floor and
said there, was a" better way out of it
than that, and that a 6-mill tax need
not be levied. Besides, the boaid did
not want to be burdened with any more
money than it actually needed. He was
in favor of letting . the debt go for a
while, since there was only an interest
of 7 per cent, on it, and the money
raised could be better expended in other
ways. The academy building, he
thought, could be leased for a small
Bum. It was now teuantless, the "-win
dows were being broken, and it was suf
fering generally from disuse.- It would
be better to have the county use it for
the higher grades than, to have it vacant,
and thought that it could be leased for a
nominal sum, perhaps for nothing. All
things considered, be thought that a 4
mill tax would be enough to levy at pres
ent, and if improvements were decided
upon the board could be instructed at
the March meeting to contract an in
debtedness sufficient to furnish rooms or
lease a building. He said, also, that at
this-meeting it would be illegal to levy a
tax for building purposes. .
Mr. Phillips then supported his mo
tion by a speech, and Mr. Elton again
spoke in favor of his amendment,' stick'
ingtoitwith great persistence. Being
put to vote the amendment was lost and
the original motion to levy a 4-mill tax
was carried.
Mr. Ruch then moved that the di-
rectors of school district- No. 12 confer
with the academy directors and aacer
tain the terms upon which the academy
could be leased.
Mr. Neilsen also moved that at the
March -meeting the matter be brought
up of increasing the number of grades to
the 10th. Both motions were carried

. A Pleasant Afternoon.
About thirty-two of the lady friends
of Mrs. W. L. Bradshaw were invited to
take possession, of her pretty parlors
yesterday afternoon and to enjoy a few
hours in social converse and drive whist.
The ladies who were to take the part of
gentlemen managed to look so wise,
play so "scientifically," and scold
enough, so that not even that "neces
sary evil" man, wbb conspicuous by
his absence, and the lunch was enjoyed
equally as well as though "he' had
been present. The games being finished
and Mrs. F. L. Houghton and Mrs. N.
B. Sinnott awarded prizes, several of the
ladies - favored the company with mu
sical selections. . The- score cards were

the outside, and small ivorine hearts',
diamonds, spades and clubs were pre

An Awkward Situation. .
A physician of Ocosta. Wash., while
botanizing'' in the woods near that
place recently, stumbled across a hig
black bear, wich got annoyed at his
presence and chased him. The rail
road was a few yards away, and the
doctor took to the track and sprinted
along1 it a few yards ahead of the
beast, until a long trestle was reached,
when the bear halted and Bquatted
down to watch the doctor hop along-
tne ties. When he was a third -of. the
way across a freight train appeared
at 'the further end. Out on a high
trestle, with a bear waiting for him at
one end and a freight train coming- for
him from the other, the doctor felt
that the situation was embarrassing-.
He dropped to a supporting- beam,
hung- from the end of it while the
train passed overhead, and then con
tinued his way across the trestle and
home by another route. " '

Neighborhood Comments and the Effects
of Wilson's Bill.
Weather excellent. Almost a contin
uous rain .the past few days, but very
warm and pleasant f6r the time of year.
Stock are in excellent condition owing
to the fine grass at present. -,'."
The sick are improving and at present
there are none seriously ailing. -
Last Monday Mr. Miles, the mail car
rier from this place, started at the usual
hour, but was compelled to., return on
account of the high water. Since the
heavy rains of the past two weeks many
streams have swollen ' far above the
average high, water mark. The John
Day is higher than it has been since the
springof 1861.
One day of last week the remains of
James Thompson were found eight miles
below Clarno's ferry on the John Day.
One leg was gone to the knee and one
arm. He was recognized by a boot that
was on his remaining foot. With that
exception there was nothing by which
he might be identified, since the remains
were nothing more than a skeleton.
On the 17th David Luce of John Day
valley succumbed to la grippe.. Mr.
Luce was an old" and 'ho nored mem
ber of Bociety at that place and will be
sadly missed out of its ranks. Mr. Luce
came from California to 'his' present
home in the spring or summer of '62,
and since that time has been an indus
trious farmer and stock raiser, scarcely
losing a day from illness in that time.
Always Btrong and well, the shock of his
death was real and intense. -
There seems to be no prospect but oar
wool will be relieved of its. tariff, and if
it should be, sheep men and wool grow
ers of Eastern Oregon, ask yourselves
hat will be the price yon will get for
your woolr I saw a statement that sev
eral lots of Oregon wool had been sold in
the Eastern markets at 7 and 8 cents.
The prospects are that the wool of next
spring will not command a higher price,
yet we pay our herders from $35 to $40
per month and furnish them everything
needed, which amounts to not less than
$8 more. ' Besides they can lose the en
tire . herd and are not responsible for a
sheep. Is this right in our present
financial stringency. Then,too,our shear
ers -get 6 cents per head for shearing.
Their expenses amount to the trifling
sum of a pair of shears and a whet
stone, and the stone generally belongs
to a company of from fourto sixteen.
With that exception they have no ex
penses for shearing, r Many make five
and six dollars per day. Why not re
duce their wages? Why is it necessary
that the one who labors the most in car
ing for his herds should suffer all the
loss?' Surely there would be nothing un
just in reducing wages. At present
rates, after the herder and shearers are
paid, what has the sheep man left for
his time and trouble? Not even a thank
you. Besides all the above, the ranges
are so eaten off it is very necessary sheep
should be' fed even in the mildest win
ters, which is an item of expense not to
be forgotten. At the present rate of
expense and the low prices of our wool
and mutton, something must be done
or the sheep men of Eastern Oregon
must retire from the business. I think
it would be well if our sheep men wonld
have a. thought on the subject and try
to relieve themselves of some of the ex
penses, which are unjust at present. '

and deals with farming and farmer's Interests
on broad, practical lines, it

During the coming, year there will be an Im

Executive Departments at Washington. It is
highly important that the farmers be kept,
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planned and done a&ecting them at the National
capital. They should all,- therefore, take The
American Farmkb, which, being on the ground
has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this information, and devotes itself to
this duty. They will find iu it constantly a
great amount of valuable information that they
can get in no other paper.
