oixe fusionist( Weaver of Iowa); demo

estimate chows a loss of 16 to the demo

The result of the election in Calif or

ney is made exceedingly .interesting by
reason of the transfer of- the whole train
across the Columbia by means' of the
great ir6n"fefry-boat. In spite of its
enormous cost the boat is a great success.
To a casual observer its appointments
seem to be perfection itself, and those in
charge evidently take a pride in the ap
pearance of things. Everything i.s above
deck, and the splendid machinery, end
even the loiler houses and stoke-holes
are models of order and care. About
200 tons of Tacoma coal are consumed
weekly. The train run on the boat in
two sections, and the boat glides out in
to the stream smoothly and nois?leisly.
Any one asleep on the train at the time
would hardly be disturWd even in cross
ing the river, for the boat is so solid and
the machinery so well fitted that no tre

ECONOMY IN SCHOOL BOOHS.
Should YFc Have a Chiuisre?

To tha Editors of the Columbian :
The publishers of Bancroft's Headers
are placing those books before the Coun
ty Superintendents of Oregon and ask
ing their adoption in place of the Inde
pendent Readers in use during the past
ix years. That the public my know
what is proposed, --and what value lie3
in the proposal, we desire to invoke the
kindly offices of the Columbian in plac
ing the same before them.
1. Thk Educational Advantages- A
comparison of the relative merits of the
books as school readers cannot well be
made ia a newspaper article, where the
books are not present to be compared.
Without entering into such comparison,
it will be recognized by every teacher
and intelligent patron that the impetus
given to the study of reading, and the
interest awakened in it by the introduc
tion into the schools of reading matter
.with bright - new illustrations, cannot
help being great This new interest and
enthusiasm will also communicate itself
to other studies. No one doubts these
propositions. As hearing on the ques
tion of the adaptation ot the Indepen
dent Readers to present methods cf in
struction it should be stated, also, that
the publishers of that series have issued
an entirely new series within h year,
based on methods quite opposite to those
which obtain iu the old books. The in
ference cannot le avoided that the ee
rie has lost the confidence of the old
great body of teachens.
2. Tita Financial Gain. This will
appear (1) in the cheaper retail price of
the Bancroft curies after the books are
once introduced.

By a comparison of retail prices of
Bancroft's Readers with those now in
use it will be seen that Bancroft's are
1.00 cheaper per set of 5 books, or 20
cents per copy, or 26 percent This is
well worth saying.
The financial g;:n will also appear (2)
in hi ijain at Le i'mz of exchanj. At
this point come ia tlu objector ami
says :
" But what are we going to do with
our old books. We can't atibrd to throw
them all awav and get new ones.''
The pubi:she.-E were prepared for this
objection, because itvis not a new one.
Bat they lo not mer.i it as. it has been
met by othr publishers on former occa
sions, heedless of interests ftiid
vishes of the public. . On the contrary
the public interest' has been consulted as
well as the publisher's interest, and th
objection is generously wet by a propo
sition which not bfdy ad Is for no sacri
fice of any reader now iu us?, but on
the contrary, when any such reader can
be nc longer used by its cwner it will bo
accepted in pay mens of tbe book next
required. The hard&hips which the pub
lic has h-re ofore experienced in a
change, aiiws from the "following facts:
lfit That only the old re.vlcr of a
particular graib? wrs received for a new
reader of the same grade ; that is, a First
Header for a Fiiv.t Reader, a Second
Reader for a Second Reader etc.
2nd. That at the end'of three months
this mild extorlior. was replaced by a
prompt advence to full prices for all
books purchased, the old books remain
ing in the hands of the pupil, counting
for absolutlv nothing.
Bancroft - ic Co. present no forcing
process of this kind. There proposition
differs from the above in both particu
lars. 1st When school open3 after July
1885, all children who have finished
their old readers may exchange them
for the new higher reader that must be
bought in any eventt and save of the
usual price. This saying considerably
more than olTset3 in any family, any oc
casional old book-which a younger child
could take. Figure it out and see.
2nd. All children who have not fin
ished their old readers, at the close of
the preceding year, can give them iu
payment for the higher book which they
need when the lower is finished iu six
months or in cwelvt mouths or eighteen
months or any other tim when they
need the higher book.
When they get these higher books for
hte first time in this way the prices
will be for second reader 15c, instead of
50, third reader 25c, instead of 75,
for fourth reader 30c, instead of $1, for
fifth reader 35c, instead of 1.25.
On this proposition it is impossible
for any one to figure out any, expendi
ture occasioned by the change. There
is none. So confident are the publish
ers of this that they are ready to furnish
any family with a complete set of their
elegant new readers, where a fair and
iuli figuring does not show again to re
sults ;o such family from the change.
Moreover, the new readers are all,
from first to fifth, buuud in cloth, with
out extra charge. A first or second
reader bound in cloth will last twice as
Jong as the usual binding such bind
ing as ia employed oa the present seris.
But in addition to this the Indepen
dent series has a' sixth . reader which is
used in many schools increasing the cost
1.50. We have given the prices at
which tho Independent Readers chave
leen sold. If these prices are reduced
when the publishers solicit a new con
tract, it will be because our. competition
has forced them to itKbut they have not,
up to thii time, boen reduced in Oregon.
It may be of interest to the public, how
ever, to know that the publishers of the
Independent readers otTered them to the
Board of Washington Territory on the
17lh of last July at 30c a set cheaper
than this. Why thev were not reduced
to the peoplo of . Oregon at the same
time so that they could avail themselves
of the reduction during the present
year, it is not tor the publisher of .Ban
croft's readers to explain. .
We ask of the public the careful
consideration of the alove proposition.
We think that the , bugbear of extra
" cost" in. making a change, is put to
death. We have made the statement
as fairly a we know how to make it.
We ask only that it should not be re
jected without investigation and investi
gation is inevitable acceptance.

Frank Thornton, accused of the killing
of John Mathews, near Vancouver, this
week. The jury found a verdict of man
slaughter, and the court sentenced the
prisoner to seven years in the territorial
penicentiary. The case will be remem
bered as a peculiar one. The two men
were in the Geld plowing. Late in the
afternoon the accused came in reporting
that Mathews met his death in the fol
lowing singular manner : While plowing
a pig ran across the ground In front of
th horses, frightening them and causing
them to run. Being entangled in the
lines, .Mathews was dragged by the two
horses along the ground until the blow
struck him in the back of ihe neck, caus
ing his death. There was a wonnd on
the neck of the dead man corroborating
that patt of the story, but many ci cnm
stances tended to make the tale look un
reasonable an investigation warranted
the conviction and sentence of Thornton
as above stated. -Telegram.
