They say it's because they find larger stocks to select from, newer pat

Sam Farrtab Dead.
(
Samuel B. Parriah, ex-chief of police
of Portland, died at St. Vincent's hos
pital Monday afternoon, aged 59 years.
Fifty-nine years is not a long life, as
lives are measured in theee days, and at
59 a man is not old. Yet the 59 years of
Sam Parrish's life, measured by their
generous actions, their good deeds, their
love of bis fellow man, cover a period
longer, much longer than is vouchsafed
most men to live. Measured bv the acts
of his generous right hand, that only
now upon the other shore the left may
learn ; the sorrow he has stilled, the
hopeless to whom he has given hope, the
poverty from which he has plucked the
sting, the tears of distress that his
princely hand turned to those of joy, he
died old and full of years. He had bia
faults, for he was human ; but when the
angel of death put fingers on bis lips to
seal them forever, a brave, a gentle, a
generous and a manly heart ceased to
beat.
Coming around the Horn to Oregon
when but 2 years old, his earliest recol
lections were of Oregon. Among the big-
hearted, broad minded, sturdy pioneers
wnose nearis as tneir doors were ever
open to each other, bis character was
formed, and in that noble forest of grand
characters his, too, reached upwards,
turning towards the sunlight, a noble
stem. He had a girl's sentiment, a
woman's tenderness, a boy's heart, a
prince's hand. His friends be fastened
ito him with hooks of steel, and bis .ene
pries for such he had today can lift
heir hats and say, "There cracked a
iobe beart." These be not idle words
(6f sentiment, or even fulsome praise of
ithe dead. Living we could but think
'thus of our old friend, but dead we are
permitted at least to mention a few of
his many good qualities. Light rest the
tnrf above you, Sam, and so good bye,
until we meet again.

Frederick Kirn, an Albina grocery
man, met a fearfut death on Newton
Clarke glacier, on the north slope of
Mount Hood, yesterday afternoon. In
the ascent of the mountain he strayed
from the path and was caught by a mass
of sliding rock, which carried him 300
feet down the steep side of the mountain
to the brink of a cliff, over which his
body was plunged to the rocks, 400 feet
below.
Kirn left Portland late last week, and
reached Cloud Cap Inn Sunday after
noon, coming on foot from Hood River.
In the afternoon . be asked Mr. W. A.
Langille, of the inn, several questions
about the ascent of the mountain, de
claring bis intention to make it the fol
lowing day. He declined the services
of a guide. He had examined the road
with bis field glasses, be said, and would
have no difficulty in following it all the
way.
He retired early and arose yesterday
morning at 4 o'clock, drinking a cup of
coffee before he started on the climb.
which he did at 4 :30, all alone.
When at 5:30 yesterday afternoon
Kirn did not return, Mi. Langille be
came alarmed for his safety, and started
in search of bim. He soon found that
he had good cause for bis alarm. Kirn's
trail could be easily followed to within
700 feet of the summit. At this point it
varies from the regular trail, which it
had thus far followed, and led away to a
treacherous, rock-covered district near
the head of Newton Clarke glacier.
Here Mr. Langille discovered to his
horror that the unfortunate man had
been caught in a mass of sliding rock,
which he bad probably loosened with
his feet,. and had been carried with it
swiftly to the brow of a precipice below,
over which the furrows made in the
snow by the small avalanche - disap
peared. Working his way cautiously,
and with the skill cf the veteran mount
aineer that he is, to the edge of the cliff,
Mr. Langille saw the body lying among
the loose rock far below at the mouth of
the glacier. Kirn's death had been
swift and terrible.
It was then 8:30 and growing rapidlv
dark. Mr. Langille, being all alone,
could not bring the body back to the
inn, and after nightfall would have bad
to take desperate chances even to reach
it. Had there been any chance of the
man's being alive, he would have taken
the latter course, but no one could have
survived such a fall an instant.
He therefore returned to the inn and
telephoned the news to the police sta
tion. Captain Barclay, who was on
watch when the message rame in, at
once dispatched Patrolman Velguth to
Kirn's residence, 853 Albina avenue, to
acquaint hie family with his fearful fate.
The officer found Kirn's wife and daugh
ter, who at first refused to believe the
news. When they fully realized It, they
were prostrated with grief. C. R. Rie

victim of the accident, was also notified.
He will leave for Hood River today, and
bring the body back to Portland.
Kirn had lived in Portland a long
time, and was very well known. He
was well advanced in years, but waa
vigorous and healthy. He left Portland
expecting to make the ascent of the
mountain Sunday and to retnrn early
in the "week. He little knew what a
fate was in store for bim. Oregonian.
The Teachers' Institute.
The Dalles, July 14, 1897.
Editor Chronicle :
The cool weather was very favorable
for the institute work yesterday.
After singing, the roll call showed
three new names, Nellie Hudson, Dufur,
W. H. Walker, Wamic, Maggie Merrill,
Moro. Salina Phirman'a name was
omitted in the former list. Grace Smith
of Kansas is visiting the institute.
The state teachers' reading circle is
now conducted by the state university,
and has adopted Matthew's American
Literature and White's Elements of
Pedagogy as the text books, which are
also used at the institute. This will
materially benefit those who wish to
pass the examination and receive a di
ploma. In the general discussion today on
"Preparation of. the Teacher" the idea
that anybody can teach was considered
too low a standard, while the ideal
teacher is not always attainable. All
agree, however, that before entering
upon the direct work of teaching, the
following preliminaries demand atten
tion :
First, the teacher needs to have a
thorough knowledge of the branches to
be taught as well as a fair knowledge of
the cognate branches. Efficiency in
Algebra and Geometry aids in teaching
Arithmetic.
' Second, one of the most important
lessons that the teacher must learn is
self-control. If be does not possess this
he in like anything else that is un
trained, like a troublesome child.
Third, study of the nature of the child
and the principles of mental develop
ment. Fourth, daily preparation for the
work. Teaching is the art of human de
velopment. The. teacher needs to re
view, observe, read, think, practice.
Fifth, self culture and association of
teachers for mutual exchange of ideas.
The cheerfulness, the vigor, the versa
tility and the endurance essential to
success can come only of good health.
