There was positively no foundation for

others who have seen them,' speak of

Yesterday W. E. Garreteon received a
document of which he is very proud
It is in the shape of a diploma from the
South Bend College of Optics in Indiana
conferring on him the degree of Doctor
of Optics, the highest honor which the
institution can give. Mr. Garretson
was much gratified at its receipt as he
had expected to receive only the . grad
uate degree. The president, however,
assured him that tbe evidence of close
application to detail and his thorough
understanding entitled him to the
highest honors. '
No doubt many of the reeidents of
The Dalles, who have failed thus far
to discover that type ; is far from
infallible and that mistakes will happen
in tbe best of offices, at once determined
upon purchasing a piano as they read in
flaring letters last night that Jacobsen
is Belling them at $1.50 a piece. It is an
acknowledged fact that that company is
offering unheard-of bargains, but if you
are thinking of buying a piano take
$150 with you instead of $1.50 or you'll
get left. A small period, when creeping
into the wrong place, may' often make
a hundred dollars worth of difference.
Ian Maclaren writes" on "The Art of
Listening to a Sermon," in the May
Ladies' Home Journal, the first article
of a series on the relations of the pulpit
and the pew wbich he will contribute
to that magazine. This author-preacher
writes that the regular church-goer has
a gradvantage over the "casual" in
comprehending the minister's discourse,
nearly balf the beauties and points of
a sermon being lost if they fall on un
trained ears. Hearing requires as much
effort as preaching, says Ian. Maclaren,
for "no sermon is worth hearing into
which the preacher has not put Lis
whole strength, and no sermon can be
beard aright unless the hearer gives his
whole Btrength also."
Two of our . bowlers, Ei. Kurtz and
Vic Schmidt, returned home on last
evening s train, lhe remainder, they
say, have been attempting to get home
ever since the game, but somehow there
an attraction in the valley towns
which cannot be overcome. If we were
not so well assurred as to the good be
havior of The Dalles team we would
say, judging from the time the Telegram
reporter muEt have bad in deciphering
their names on the hotel register,' that
they were unable to get here. It is re
ported that it was with difficulty Mayor
Nolan was induced to leave Salem, and
he fairly declares it was the good treat
ment they received which caused them
to be beaten ; that he could not bear to
again down such a generous, hospitable
people. Expressman Kurtz is now re
gretting that he is not an eloquent writer
that he might give vent to bis apprecia
tion of their reception, while Vic Schmidt
e just a9 ardent, the only feature which
he regrets at all being the absence of
young ladies to witness the game.
The Teachers Entertained.
In response to an invitation from the
Misses Roberts, tbe teachers of tbe
public echools gathered at the home of
Miss Nan Cooper last evening at 7 :30
o'clock, where they were met by hacks
aud conveyed to the Roberts home on
Dry Hollow, there to enjoy one ot the
most entertaining evenings imaginable.
Tbe parlors seemed doubly inviting and
cheery after the ride out in the bracing
air, and the guests were eoon engaged in
playing a game of word-building, which
waB especially amusing as the teachers
realized that a word to the wise is not
sufficient when one indulges in - this
game. They also were led to sympathize
with their pupils as tbey were stood on
the floor and ashed questions.
A very pleasant part of the evening
was that when Mrs. Roberts entertained
them by displaying her splendid collec
tion of curioa gathered while at the
Caroline Islands, and explained in a
very attractive manner the experience
of her. husband and herself while mis
sionaries ,araong the native islanders
Her collection of all manner of curios is
valuable one; and interesting, and to
hear her tell of life . there was a great
treat to her guests. Mrs. Roberts knew
what it meant to be deprived of the
blessings of civilization and to be where
mail and supplies came to them but
once a year.
After listening for some time to her
charming recital of experiences, the
visitors were served with refreshments
and enjoyed the remainder of tbe even
ing in social converse, returning borne
at a late hour.
Regarding Examination of Teachers.
County school superintendents are in
receipt of tbe following letter from State
Superintendent Ackerman. . Prior to
this lime the county superintendents
have arranged the program themselves
but no definite day being epecified for
examinations in special studies it
was inconvenient for all concerned. The
letter is as follows: .
Salem, Ore., April 19, 1899. Gentle
men: The following program will be
followed during the May examination of
applicants for county and state papers

I deeire to recommend to you. the
School Saving System as the best and
most practical way to teach the youth
of our state lessons in thrift, economy
self denial and industry. The habit -of
laying aside a part of their income is of
mcaicuaDie value to anv one and es
pecially to the child in the days when
habits are in a formative stage.
It is an educational measure wbich
will prevent to a great extent pauper
ism, intemperance and crime. Edu
cators have noticed that thousands of
young people are graduated from our
institutions of learning every year with
minds -well stored with knowledge, a
large part of whom make an absolute
failure in business -because tbey have
not been well grounded in habits of
thrift. The School Saving Bank is a
practical remedy for this.
Respectfully yours,

NOT BEST FOR THE BOYS.
Proposal to Land Them - at Portland a
.Bad One.
Portland people have been agitating
the question of having the Oregon vol
unteers mustered out in that city ; but
when they understand the state of affairs
they will probably be unselfish enough
t3 change their minds. It would, no
doubt, be better for the .Fourth of July
entertainment to have the boys sail up
he river and disembark in a body on
the 2J or 3d of July, but it wouljl be bad
jr the boys.
If they are mustered out; in Portland
they get only their monthly, pay up to
that time. If mustered out in San Fran
cisco, each man will get mileage and,
n addition, pay and subsistence for the
distance between Portland and San
Francisco at the rate of 20 miles per day.
This will amount to a little more than
$30 for each private and from $100 to
$200 each for the officers, or more than
$30,000 for the entire regiment.
Tbe boys could charter trains in San
Francisco, or come up on the steamer at
a low rate, and in this way have a few
dollars extra . to live on until ti e? get
settled down tq work again.
