It seems that tho deceased had leased Irom

Tho powor to run tbo mill was taken oil

this bolt to tho pulley ; with tho shaft mak
ing 200 revolutions perminulo, that Mr. Vor
dlor lost his llfo. , ,
Mr. O. F. Donnls had startod up tho factory
at 7 o'clock as usual ; not knowing that Mr.
Vordlor lntendod running his mill that

ract, and had tho machinery stopped for tho
mirnnnn nfnnttlnir nn this bolt.
Thobov can trlvo no vorv clear Idea or

Your correspondent went llshtng last

8plcmllil Hull, but ho has a peculiar weak
ness for lato suppers, In iact bltcsouly at
night. Donning n pair of overalls and
equipped with llHhlng-rod, overcoat,
lantern anil box of "worms," ho wended,
at sundown, his solitary way down tho
river bank until a smooth, sandy shoro
ollbred a favorable placo to ictoti a board
in tho wet sand and cast in his hook.
Impaling u "writhing worm" on ills
hook, ho cast it far out into tho still
waters, and setting on a shingle with hi!)
heels in tho muddy sand, resigned him
self to patient waiting. Tho sun had
sought ills couch beyond tho western
shore, the wind had retired from actlvo
duty for tho day, aniUho hazy twilight
nndtho balmy air, laden with tho odors
ol tho coming spring, wasiettilng around

was heard in tho distance.
Tho stars canio ono by ono and looked

alighting within a dozen yards lloated
gracefully on tho water. They evidently
had their nest it: tho neighborhood, and

ENTERPRISE NEEDED.
Tho development of a Statu depends,
in no ftmall degree, upon tho enterprise
mid energy manifested in eHectlui:
improvements. Wo all know that the
construction of a railroad to give iih
direct communication with tho East,
would caiiHo a growth anil prosperity to
tho Pacilfo Xorthwoit opial to our fond
est hopes or expectations. What is
needed in that respect is more capital
than wo can command from our homo
resources, and wo cannot easily con
vlnco thoso who havo tho money that it
will bo a go6d investment to build our
roadf. It Is necessary that wo should
build our State up, so far as is possible,
with our own labor and means, so as to
.speedily ns possible aeoiilro Importance
in tho eyes of tlio world's capitalists.
It is truo that every portion of our
fetato needs Improvement and develop
ment, mid it Is a duty wo owo to our
selves for each ono of us to do what wo
can to advance tho general improve
ment, that Is If wo wish to seo
tho prosperity of tho Stato ad
vanced. Leaving all parts of tho Stato
to recognize tho necessity of public
outerprlso in every locality, wo propose
at tho present time, to touch upon mi
enterprise that would be of great Im
portance to the people living hereabouts,
enterprises too that aro within tho
means of tho nconle interested, and that
count oo accomplisiictl .speedily If citi
... i. . . ... . - . .
zens would Huoscribo according to tiiclr
means for their construction.
Tho best routo over tho mountains to
Eastern Oregon Is undoubtedly that by
Mt. JcHersou, commonly known as the
Minto Puss, and a moderate expenditure
of means would secure the construction
of a good wugou road thut will givo all
this portion of the Willamette valley a
good roud to tho Ochoco country, und
tho Upper Deschutes, us well as to all
tho upper Columbia valloy region. This
road would bo as direct from Albany and
Jefferson as from Salem, ami if the sur
vey led by Messrs. Minto and Davenport
is reliable, of which thero is no doubt, Its
greut advantage consists of directness of
route, less elevution, mid consequently
llttlo trouble to bo feared from, winter
snows, und nvolduucoof the terriblo hills
that cannot bo avoided by all other
routes, whllo this roud can bo laid on
compiratlvely level ground, with few
Interfering ridges to bo surmounted.
Oi' course, there will be opposition lo
such a road from tbo owncia of other
roads, mid jealousy entertained by any
transportation company that desires to
do all tho business of tho Upper Colum
bia, but if It really atl'ords a routo by
which ordinary freighting can bo done
from all central pontons of the "Willam
ette valloy and also to this valley from
the farming, mining mid grazing regions
east of tho mountains, then tho small
amount needed for tho worknot to ex.
eced $10,000 slum Id not bo long lacking.
Consldorablo money has already been
subscribed In parts of Linn. Polk and
Marlon counties, and n Salem expects
to share greatly in the boncllts to accrue
from tho road when opened, its citizens
should subscribe liberally to insure its
immediate success. That Is ono of the
enterprises that would make Oregon
more prosperous and tend to secure our
best future good.
If reports nro to bo believed, a great
mining region Is about to bo developed
in Eastern Oregon that will demand mid
support good roads to this valley. If
Micro is a better routo than tho Minto
Pass It should bo improved, and if tho
Mlnto Pass is better than any other now
traveled, It ought to bo utilized. Wo
aro advocating needed improvements
wherever found, and invito correspond
euco from all parts or tho State as to
improvements needed elsewhere. Wo
favor improvements without regard to
locality, to bo mado judiciously and
economically, not to waste tho people's
money vainly, which would bo a loss to
tho wholo State.
STATrrTEACHEUS' INSTITUTE.
The next Annual Stato
stltittu will bo held in
Teachers' In-
tho Senate
Chamber In tho Capitol, commencing
August 21, 1877, mul continuing in ses
sion four days.
Upon teachers of tho nation, more
than upon any and all other classes com
bined, devolves tno solution ot tno prob
lem ol a wiso mul generous education ior
the entire people. We may build grand
school edifices on nvery quarter-section
of our territory, wo may hoard up
school funds In ovcry State; wo may en
dow magtiillcent Institutions with nil
tho wealth of "Ornitts andof Ind" and
yet, without a full and constant supply
of well-educated, skillful and devoted
teachers, our ellhrts for universal educa
tion will bo in vain. School buildings,
school tunds, mid endowments aro but
Inert machinery. Tho power resides In
tho faithful teacher alone. Ho must
brcat ho Into these instruments as into a
perfected nrganlsnthumilmutliig breath
of life. Tho maxim "as is tho teacher
so Is tho school." may bo accepted as mi
educational axiom. Tho value of a
school urn svstcm of schools depends
entirely upon Its quality. Vlclousinetli
nds of fuelling nro as certain to produce
bud citlous as tho absence of nil
teaching. Hence, the gieat question is,
what shall bo tho character and quali
fications of our teachers, ami how many
of tho right sort is It posslblo to produce'.'
No better ovldenco of tho Immense
strides our country is making In the di
rection of population could bo asked than
in tho-Just published :omiUB of tho city
of stTLouUrwineti roomm-ovcr half ft
million. Tlie population of Chicago Is
as largo, or possibly larger, wnilo tiuit oi
Cincinnati and Louisville will approxi
mate closely to It.
Such progress In city building Is un
precedented in tho world's history, mid
It becomes still moro amazing when It Is
remembered that In addition to theso
four great Inland cities there are semes
of others that boast from 50,000 to 1.10,000
Inhabitants, all of which has sprung In
to existence mid have grown to their
present mngiiitudo wlth'n tho memory
of men but llttlo beyond tho meridian of

Tho Times dispatch from lincharest,
