dollars in gold compared with a year a

millions of dollars ond an increase of pa

mnt and profitable trip to make,,. I went
out one d.ty this week. It i3 only 1
miles from ..to.wn, and Gluts. Kelsey is
always willing to act as guide to the
tunnel. The Kelsey Bros, have been at
work there a pait of the time for three
or four years ami hare dug the main
tunnel into the hill about 700 feet, and
a branch about 300 feet. They have,
cut through the bed of an old stream as
is plainly apparent to one c itirely unac
quainted with mining as I am, have cut
through the case rock that used to be
the bank, have unearthed cedar logs near
ly two feet iu diameter, have taken out
bushels of ietri0ed"clam and oyster shells
and have brought to light many other
things that go to prove the iact of the
soil above the rock of comparative re
cent formation. A very beautiful kind
of blue und red pipe clay runs in streaks
across the tunnel and oue of , the most
beautiful formations' of fungus has
formed on the timbers at one place that

forms. The impression has prevailed
to some extent that the Bros, have made
money out of the venture but they say 1
that they have not received more than

Editor Columbian: Many of us
have waited for a long time for your pa
per to come out with an article showing
the true parts in regard to the bills le-
fore Congress on the forfeiture of the
R..R. Lands. - " .
There are many in this. County who
have not yet learned that the Hon. M.
C. George fought for the settlers and
that his bill was the only ene that pro
tected us sho have R. R.Xands in 'our
rights to the same. .
.There is not a soldier m this State
but who knows, or ought to know that
Mr. George has stood his frind and
worked early and late for our interests.
I 'know of many claims of soldier, sent
to him on which he spent many days,
but which he finally pushed through and
settled. '.,"'"'"'
It is time that the settlers on R. R.
lands, tlufsolditrs and the. working men
in this County particularly, made some
inquiry, found out what Mr. Gorg has
done for us, and called on our Senator
and Representative to do all tliey can
to elect Mr. George U. S. Senator.
I ask ni y old comrade all over this
County to not be fooled by the state
ments of partizan newpapers. I will
by your permission in a f jw weeks send
you a statement showing a part of what
Mr. George has done for all of us.
We want just such a man in the S en
ate. There is not an hono -able man on
this Coast but what will say of Mr.
George provided he knows him
that ho is an honorable man, one who is
unimpc ashable and cnj who belongs to
no monopoly or corporation, and who
has to the utmost of his ability worked
for the best interests of the peop'e. All
know that he is a man who stands the
equal of any in the Uuited States for
talent and ability, and is besides a warm

ECONOMY IN SCHOOL BOOKS.
Should We Have a Chnnze?
To tJte. EJUori of tfo Columbian :
The publishers of Bancroft' Readers
are placing those books lefore the Coun
ty Superintendents of Oregon and ask
ing their adoption in place of the Iude.
pendent Readers in use during the past
six yews. That the public iny know
what is proposed, and what value lies
in the proposal, wa desire to invoka the
kindly offices of the Columbian iu plac
ing the same tafore them.
1. Tux Educational Advantages- A
comparison of the relative merits of the
look as school readers cannot wll le
made iu a newspaper article, where the
books are not present to be compared.
Without entering inv such comparison,
it will be recognised -by every teacher
and intelligent patron that the impetus
given to the rtudy f reading, ar.4 the
interest awakem-d in, it by the introduc
tion into the schools ol -Teadiag matter
with bright new illustration, annt
help leing gTeat. Thw,new interest and
enthusiasm will also communicate itself
to other studies. No one doubt Hr-se
propositions. As taar'ej on the ques
tion of tb adaptation ot th Indepen
dent Readers to present -method of in
stractiou it should I stated, alo, that
the publishers cf tltat series kave igsucd
an entirely nw series withirt b year.
base J on ny?thods c;uiije oppoaii to those
which obtain in the old boelcs. The in
ference can:tot I avoided that the se
ries has lost the confidence of the old
great ldy of teachers.
2. Tns" Fujasci-M. Gain. This will
appear (1) in tf4 efoajxr retail pric ef

once introduced.

Fourth .C5 Fourth 1.00
Fifth .90 Fifth " 1.25

By a comparison of retail prices af
Bancroft's Readers with those now in
use it will bo seen that Bancroft's are
$1.03 cheaper per set f 5 Ikkj'ks, or 20
centa per oopy, ar 2G$ per cant This i
well worth saying.
The financial gin will alsa appear (2)
in the yai the time of exeftanj: At
this point comes in th objector and
says :
M But what are we going to do with
jur old books. We can't afford to throw
them all away and get new ones."
The publishers wera prepared for this
objection, because it is not a new one.
But they do not meet it k it has leen
met by other puMuhera on former occa-
a A i t a m. . .1
violin. heeUJese ox tne inerpt nun
vithe of t!ie public. On t! contrary
the peblic interest has leen consulted as
well as then publisher's interest, and the
objtion is generously met by a propo
sition which net only call for no sacri
fice of any reader now in use, but on
the contrary, when ary such reader can
Iks no longer naed by it owner it will b
accepted in paymens of lite book next
required. The hardships which the pub
lic has heretofore eiperienced in a
change, aiiea froic the following fjicts:
1st That only the ld reader of a
particular gale was received for a nw
readier of the same grale ; that is, a First.
Re-.vlcr for a First Reader, a Secoi.d
Re uler for a Seooiwi Header etc.
2nd. That at the end of three months
this mild extortion was replaced by a
prompt advance to full prices for all
books purchased, the old looks remain
ing in the hands of the pupil, counting
for a'osolutly nothing.
Bancroft & Co. present no forcing
process of this kind. There proposition
differs from the above in both particu
lars. 1st When school opens after July
1885, all children who have finished
their old reaJcrs may exchange them
for the new higher reader tliat must be
tought in any irtnt, and save J of the
usual price. This saying "considerably
more than offsets in any family any oc
casional old book which a younger child
could take. Figure i out and sea.
2nd. All children who hare not hn
Ished their old readers, at tlie close f
the preceding year, can give them in
payment for the higher lioo'i which they
need when the lower w finished in six
months or in twelvt month or eighteen
months or any other time htn they
need the higher book.
When they get these higher lxjoks for
hte first time in this vay the prices
will be for second reader 15c, instead of
50, third reader 25c, instead ef 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
lull figuring does not show again to re
sults -o such family from tho change.
Moreover, the new readers are all,
from first to fifth, Isjuud in cloth, with
out extra charge. A first or second
reader bound-in cloth will last twice as
long as the usual binding such j. bind?
i)ig aa tf mplojed on the present eerie.
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 the Independent Readers have
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 it, but tliey have not,
up to thu time, been reduced in Oregon.
It may be of interest to the public, how
ever, to know that the publishers of the
Independent readers offered them to the
Board of Washington Territory on the
17th of last July at 30c a set cheaper
than this. Why they were not reduced
to the people of ' Oregon : at the same
time so that they could avail thwmselves
of the reduction during the present
year, it is not tor the publisher of Ban
croft' readers to explain.
We ask, ofthe "public the careful
consideration of the alove proposition.
We think that' 1 th bugbear of extra
"cost" in makinga change, iw put to
death. We have mad? the statement
us fairly a? we know how to make it
We ask only that iit should not be re
jected without ihv3tigutiou and investi
gation is inevitable acceptance.

The r.eck-tie sociable was an enter

crowd present The treat was grapes,
nuts, candies and apples; promenades,
plays, music, conversation were the prin

particularly very energetic in keeping
things troving, and in trying to inter
