In the morning when the sunbeams
Kiss Old Ooean’8 yeastv waves,
And bis mighty pools and whirlwinds
Have retreated to their caves,
Then the bright and taper fingers
Of the sunbeams in the skies,
Paint the fleecy clouds of morning
In the most exquisite dyes.
Then the shapely, lofty fir tree,
Patriarch of all the wood,
Where the least of them are giants
That for centuries have stood,
Rear their heads above the clond-mist,
Dressed in garments rich and green,
With the bearing of a monarch
And the graces of a queen.
Now, low hovering down the vallies,
Clasped within tne mountain’ s arms,
Float the mystic tinted cloudlets
With their ever changing charms.
Where they linger ’ monpst the maples
And the laurels at their feet,
('ill the bteezes off the ocean
Rid them hasten to retreat,

John Bear returned yesterday
from Nojth Slough whither he went
to attend a meeting held at the
public hall in that neighborhood.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of assembling the settlers
and property owners of that vicinity
to see wnat could he done in the
matter of putting in a canal east of
the slough,
and extending the
Hunters' Cabin to Hobbs’ landing
on the old Beale place, a distance
of something over a mile.
Such a canal would not only he
a great help to navigation, but it
would drain several hundred acres
of the finest land which is now too
swampy to be of use.
The project has been under con­
sideration for a long timo and all
those interested are strongly in fa­
vor of it, and Mr. Bear informs the
Mail that over $1100 was practical­
ly in sight at the meeting which he
just attended.
It is proposed to dig the canal at
least 30 feet wide and deep enough
to be navigable by small boats.
This will be an important im­
provement for that section, and it
is to be hoped that the project will
be carried out.—Coast Mail.

New York—Bishop Fowler.
Boston— Bishop Goodsell.
Philadelphia— Bishop McCabe.
Washington— Bishop Cranston
Cincinnati— Bishop Spellmeyer
Buffalo— Bishop Berry.

ence.
An Easy Hemedy at Hand,
There is an uproar among the
women of Prague. The honorable
gentlemen composing the council of
that municipality have posted warn­
ings that women will no longer he
permitted to drag the trains of their
dresses in the streets. Amazed at
the insolence of the honorable gen­
tlemen, the women of Prague have
defied them, declaring they will
drag their skirls if they will.
We
do things better in America, aud
the Council of Prague should profit
by our example, Indirect methods
are always better than direct, espec­
ially when dealing with the fair
sex. It. is only necessary to intro­
duce the fashion of open work and
variegated hosiery and high-heeled
shoes, not only to make the women
lift up their skirts when they are
long, but for the most part to wear
short ones.— New York Globe.
Black Leg Kills Number of Calves

Washtucna, Wash., May 24.— J.
M. Kennedy and John Gray were in
town Saturday from the big Kenned

and report that their calves are dy­
ing off at a rapid rate from black
leg, and others are daily becoming
afflicted with the disease. This is
the first time in ten years that the
disease has been known to break
out. A calf will only live from tea
to twenty-four hours after taking
tho disease, and no cure for it has
ever been discovered.

Tho State course of study has
been followed as consistently and as
efficiently us conditions would ad­
mit, and examinations have been
worthy of the course to which they
were applied.
Most pupils were
successful iu completing the year’s
work, although the hinderance due
to the prevalence of mumps and
measles weakened the work of many
pupils during the last half year.
There lias been a constant en-
deavor to keep the moral standard
up to a commendable level.
>-o
improper language or conduct was
permitted on or about the school
premises.
While a few cases of
discipline has seemed necessary, the
large body of the pupils got along
without any serious conflict, and
with one or two exceptions all be­
came submissive to the government
of the school. The methods of
discipline used were chiefly per­
suasive, not vindictive.
Pupils
were not so much punished for
wrong as they were compelled to do
the right.
Drawing has been fairly woll in­
troduced.
Students could take
drawing hooks next year as follows:
room 2, book 1; room 3, hook 2;
room 4, book 3; room 5, book 4;
room 6, book 5; room 7, book 6.
Some reviews of principles will be
desirable.
The library was found with
about 140 volumes. It has been en­
riched during the year by the ad­
dition of about 180 volumes, be­
sides a'numher of text books left by
persons leaving the state.
Mr.
Fry and Mr. White encti left com­
plete sets.
The work above the 8th grade is
now estahlishid on grade lines sug­
gested by the state course of study,
and this year’s classes have practic­
ally covered the course with a fair
degree of proficiency. Had it not
been annoyed by absence on ac­
count of sickness, the work would
have been several points stronger.
As it is the grades range from 75 to
upwards of 90 on final examina­
tions.
The organization of a mothers'
and teachers’ association has been
of gratifying benefit.
It brought
mothers and teachers, home and
school into closer union and made
possible that sympathy between
them that is so necessary an ele­
ment in successful school work.
The Woman’s Study Club to a re­
sponsible part in this work and
should ever he held in kind remeni-
berance in every home in the dis­
trict, since their services have been
entirely unselfish. They have of­
fered some small prizes to encour­
age childreu in gardening, a fea­
ture of educational effort that is re­
ceiving much attention in Europe,
Eugland, and the large cities of the
more populous parts o f the United
States.
We retire from the work feeling
that we have tho good will of al­
most every body, and we shall re­
member with pleasure the many
kinduesses expressed in behalf of
our services.

Too Many Negroes Live in the North.
The city of Cambridge, Mass., is
of special interest, being one of the
largest cities in the United States
under local Prohibition.
If Prohibition, as its enemies as­
sert, is a farce in large cities Cum.
bridge is just the place to study the
details of “ the failure.”
During
the last five years of license, 1881
to 1886, the population increased 13
per cent under Prohibition for five
years the increase was 31 per cent.
During the last seven years of
license increase of valuation amount­
ed to an average of $2,230,000 per
year under five years of no license
annual average $2,907,297.
The records show, in fact, that
every industry has flourished under
the local Prohibition.
What is true of Cambridge is also
tiue of Boston, Quincy and other
large towns under local option.
But they say:
“The adoption of
the law will throw 15,000 men in
Oregon out of employment.”
Let
us look at this, there is no industiy
scarcely one, that employs as few
men according to amount of money
invested as this nefarious business,
if the amount of money now invest­
ed could be turned over to legiti­
mate productive industries, it would
employ from 3 to 10 times more
men than it now does.
(This ac­
cording to figures especially com­
piled from reliable authorities).
What about Georgia, tho liquor
dealers say that Prohibition killed
the city of Atlanta, and prosperity
only returned after the law had been
repudiated.
The grand jury of Coff couutv
superior court for November term
of that year said: It is a subect for
profound congratulations that, since
the adoption of Prohibition, crime
has wonderfully decreased, the
moral atmosphere has been purified
and peaco and order prevail.
Property values have increased
on towns show unmistakable evi-
dences of prosperity.
Dr. J. B. Hawthorn, of Atlanta
writes of the effect of local option
in Atlanta said: “ The liquor deal­
ers tell you that Prohibition is a
failure here. They tell you it has
greatly impaired the value of real
estate in Alanta, though tho assess­
ed value of her real estate is a mil­
lion and a half dollars greater than
it was a year go under license.
They tell yon it has killed business,
when it is an admitted fact that in
comparison with other cities of tho
South, the present activity is almost
phenominal.
They tell you that busiuoss men
are leaving us. Tho doggery keep­
ers, the drunkards, loafers, gamb­
lers, dead beats and prostitutes are
leaving—just these and no more,
Atlanta is prosperous and happy.
