E ASK FOR YOUR TRADE THIS SEASON,
feeling that our dealings cannot fail to be
season is so sonnd and substantial as to quality and value, as
to leave no room for dissatisfaction on the part of the buyer.
The honest merit of our goods is an effective appeal to the good
judgment of the customer who realizes that nothing is cheap
which i.es not possess sterling worth proportionate to the price

the expectation of the buyer from first to last; at the time of

A cunning coyote carried effa hunting
coat in the pockets of which were two
grouse, near Wilbur, the other day. A
Pendleton sportsman had laid the gar
ment on the ground, and while waiting
lor his train wandered away some little
distance. When he returned the coat
was gone, and upon search being made
it was found some distance awav.
Feathers were etrewn all around, but
the birds were gone.
Ye6terday Constable Sweat of Arling
ton, arrived in this city after a man by
the name of Harry Elmer for whom a
warrant was sworn out in Gilliam
county for the larceny of a saddle.
Deputy constable Butts succeeded in
finding Elmer and placing him under
arrest, and Mr. Sweat left last night
for home fully convinced that the of
ficers in The Dalles were bard to beat
when it comes to the matter of capturing
a crimnal.
Last evening J. B. Frazier, better
known among hi3 friends in The Dalles
as the "Montana Kid," left with eight
cars of bucks for Billings, Montana. The
sheep were purchased from the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company and Thomas
Hamilton. At Willows.they will pick up
seven more cars of sheep which will also
be shipped to Billings. This will- prob
ably be Mr. Fraziers last trip to Oregon
this season and the many warm friends
the "Montana Kid" has made while
here are grieved to have him go.
Accompanying the letter which we
publish today from Roy Ballard was a
legal paper which Mr. Ballard savs he
found in an old vault at Cavile. Al
though we were unable to translate it
fully, we judge that it contains orders
from some high authority, and as it is
dated 1762 it is certainly a curiosity on
account of its extreme age, being over
136 year9 old. The paper is unruled
and the writing very distinct and neat.
But on account of age it has a tendancy
to crack on being exposed to the air, and
in order to keep it perfect great care
must be taken in handling it.
Today Seraphine Nace, against whom
a charge of larceny of a horse has been
brought in by Andy Willis of Grass
Valley, is being tried in the justice
court. It appears that from what Mr.
Willis informs ns about the case that

that he eold the horse to someone else.

Last evening Mr. W. A. Johnston re.
iturned from a business trip to Portland
having in hi9 possession what he de-
claies to be a ring made of Klondike
gold which was dug by his friend. C. W.
Stone formerly of thi9 city, and made
into the ring by this same well known
jeweler. It is a plain band of gold ex
cept, on the place where the setting is
in other rings, it contains the raieed
letllers "Klondike" in two grades of
gold which on account of the difference
in their colors make it very odd. The
ring was -sent from Dawson with Mr.
Smith, of Arlington, who recently re
turned. Mrs. Robert Powell, of Ritter, was
seriously injured in a runaway accident
Tuesday evening while en routh with
her husband to Long Creek. A portion
of the harness gave away, allowing the
tongue of tho wagon to drop to the
ground, and while Mr. Powell was in
the act of repairing it the horses started
to run, knocking him down and over
turning the vehicle. Mrs. Powell was
thrown from the wagon to the ground,
and suffered a fractured nose and a
terribly lacerated face and head. She
will recover. Mr. Powell was not seri
ously injured.
Threshing crews report that the yield
of wheat has been greater throughout
all of Klickitat county than was ex
pected by farmers. Peter Anderson,
who has a farm east of Goldendale, ex
pected a machine measure of 1700
bushels of marketable wheat. When
threshing was completed, Mr. Anderson
found be had 2500 bushels of Al wheat.
Mr. Collins harvested 700 buEhels more
th an he expected. Others who are re
ported to have harvested more than
they expected are: John Burgen, Scott
Warwick, Moore & Son, C. A. Clausen,
M. J. Healey and Hon. J. C. Thompson.
A great scarcity of harvest hands i9 re
ported in the Klickitat valley. Some of
the threshing crews are reported to be
doing double work.
The most enjoyable event of the winter
promises to be the musicale by the
Alpha Mandolin and Guitar Club. The
club consists of sixteen talented players,
and there will also be instrumental
solos, duettes and quartettes. Along
with the instrumental part will also be
several vocal selections by Misses Myrtle
Miohell and Georgia Sampson. TTie
ability of both these young ladies is too
well known to need any recommenda
tion. The programme throughout will
contain such a variety of selections and
each number will be so different from
its proceeding one that it will be im
possible for the recital to be anything
but a flattering success. tf
NOTICE.
On account of repairs which have to
be made it. will be necessary for the
electric light plant to close down Sunday

occasion.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE
THE PROCEEDINGS CLOSED AT
NOON TODAY.
A I'lessant and Profitable Meeting
Beautiful Dedication Ceremonies
Held tills Afternoon.
Thursday afternoon's session of the
annual teachers' institute opened by
singing the following eor.gs: "Battle
Hymn of the Republic," "Scattering
Precions Seeds" and "1 Love the Little
Red School House."
T. M. B. Chastain on "Current EveLta"
deplored the lack of teaching current
events. An open discussion followed.
It was euggested that papers containing
each items be placed in reach of pupils
in the echool room.
C. R. Deems read a most eloquent pa
per on "Relation of the Flag to the
School." He says it rests with the echool
to teach and foster patriotism. Teachers
ehould instruct the pupils in the full
meaning of (he flae in its broadest sense.
A general discussion followed, Means
and method of procuring flags for schools
were discussed. All schools should be
supplied with flags. It was moved and
seconded that Mr. Deems send his paper
to the Oregon School Journal for publi
cation. Prof. Landers presented "How to In
terest the Child in Nature Study" in his
usually entertaining style. He says the
only way to conduct and interest chil
dren in nature study is with a regular
outlined course. Avoid the use of text
books; use whatever may come to hand
in this line, especially those things that
children are already somewhat familiar
with. Teach well what you can and let
the reEt go.
Miss Susanna-Ward introduced the
subject, of "Grammar," giving a very
complete outline of this eubject. A
short discussion followed.
M ies Erma Benson presented the topic
of "Busy Work." She mentioned a
number of devices available by all teach
ers for instructional "busy work." She
empbaeized the necessity of keeping pu
pils busy and interested.
"Indirect Effect of the Common
School," presented by Prof. John Gavin,
contained many truths which it would
be well lor taxpayers in general to read.
Prof. Gavin promises to publish the pa
per complete in the near future.
F. B. Barnes iu "English vs. Math
ematics" made an earnest plea for the
placing of more literature study in our
common schools. lie asks that matbemat-
ics be trimmed a little and put morej
English in its place. A general discus- j
sion followed, Profs. Ackerman, Gavin, '
Mr. Neff and Miss Douthit taking part, i
There is a growing sentiment in favor of
eliminating much of the number work
until later in the child's echool life.
"A Plea for Thoroughness" by Miss
Lillian Ackerman was straight to the
point and contained a pathetic mental
picture of the lack of thoroughness on J
the part of teachers and pupils. She i
says (after using the old adage, "Take !
care of the pennies and the dollars will
take care of themselves") : "Take care

C. I. Brown made an effective talk
noon "The Advantages of the Country
School," holding out prominent charac
ters of the past history of our country as
products of, the country echool. He
spoke of the economy of time, lesser
temptation, a better chnnce for nature
study, and a stronger fostering by cir
cumstances, of independence and self
reliance. Friday's session.
At Friday morning's session Prof.
Ackerman resumed his talk upon his
trip to Mt. Vernon. He graphically de
scribed Washington's home, remarking
upon the impressive smallness of the
compartments and stairways, and the
extreme massiyeness of the veranda, and
the simplicity of all surroundings. The
most impreseive thing was the vast me
chanical changes which have taken
place since Washington's time.
The instruction for the day began with
the subject of "Grammar," as presented
by Prof. Ackerman. He illustrated
quite plainly the construction of sen
tences as given by Maxwell's Grammar.
He eays ' that the branch that' re
quires the most study and the deepest
thought is grammar, but when the
foundation is once firmly fixed in the
mind, then the higher parts come to the
mind with much le3s difficulty.
The mental arithmetic, which had
been omitted yesterday, was now taken
up by Prof. Gavin. He eays that the
mental arithmetic of today has been
connected too closely to the written arith
metic, and that better lesults would be
obtained if the mental arithmetic was a
teacher's book only and not givt-n into
bands of the pupils.
Prof. J. II. Ackerman instructed the
teachers in saluting the flag. Following
is the ealute: "I pledge allegiance to my
flag, and the republic for which it stands,
one nation inseparable, with liberty and
justice to all." The salute accompanied
by the proper gestures gives the most
pleasing effect.
Prof. Ackerman took up the subject of
"A Graded Course of Study for the State
for County Schools.",, He discoursed
upon the advantages of the same and

The dedication of the new high echool
building took place at 2 o'clock this

The first number of the program was
a vocal eolo, "Ba Good Sweet Maid," by

rendition of the eami delightei the
audience, which was so large that it was
impossible for all to find standing room
in the commodious apartment in which
the exercises were conducted.

invocation, after which the Dallas In
strumental Quartet, consisting of Prof.
Ryan, Clinton Alden, J. M. Reese and

land" on the guitars a::d mandoline.
Dr. Doane spoke on the new building,
after which Miss Hatlie Cram rendered
the beautiful selection, "Little Boy
Blue," in her usual charming inauner,
and that it was listened to with delight
and a hearty encore followed, is unnec
essary to say.
The formal dedication followed, and",

chairman of the school board, S. B.
Adams, and its acceptance by John
Gavin, the city superintendent, the
