"-. - ' The year 1900 is the' 1900th year, of our era, and is not the 1901st, as would be the case with an individual 1900 years, of ageat his last birthday. - This questioaj is not to be settled 1y. argumenf'from analogies, but by looking up the history of chronology. If the first year of our era had been designated as 0, A. D.,. the : century would end with 1899, But it wa designated, arbitrarily by chronology 1,A.-D. Consequently the J century does not expire until the close of KQO, On Monday and Tuesday' nights, of this week, some' twenty-five men, were in their foot-ball suits on the college grid iron training hard under the direction of Coach Stickney.

After some parleying the date was cancelled. A most Interesting fr eak of nature was that brought' into - the Union-Gazette office, Wednesday by, Joshua Mason", in the form of a pigeon. The bird was dead though it had reached the age of - two weeks Defore it breathed its last breath in this cold world, and ven .to reach this age was remarkable, when one considers the nature of the bird itself. Its head, and entire body, so far as out side appear ances are Mncerned. is similar to the ordiary ruu'bf "pigeons, it has as many feathers perhaps as any bird vould have of its age, but the remarkable part of the creature lies in the fact that it has not a bone in its .

If something is not done the rivers will be fished out, and the in dustry which brings, in ' thousands ' of dollars annually will be killed.

A Large Attendance and.' Macn. Work Ac :. -Out. near Monroe on Friday night of. last week, there was a large crowd of in terested - people from the surrounding neighborhood, to attexd the opening ex ercises of the ninth local teachers', insti tute of Benton county, which was held in the Methodist church, just ac rof-s the road from Barkeley 's school house. ' There was music by the Dusty band and a hack load of people from Cor vallis furnished the literary portion of the entertainment. ' Recitations, "Sham- Mi us O'Brien" by Geo. L. Paul, and "The -Hanging of Sleepy Jim" by Den nis S to vail, were delivered. The re mainder of the evening was taken up principally by the addresses i pf Oregon volunteers present. Address "Our voy age to Manila, and characteristics, of the residents of Manila"; was delivered by Corporal Brady . Burnett ; "Campaign-' ing in Co. M", by Sergeaut Frank E Edwards, and "Campaigning in Co K," bv Corporal Arthur Stimpson. The ad dresses were interesting and instructive and highly appreciated . and enjoyed by all present. ..The exercises of the even: ing closed with music by ' the Dusty band. - ' . . 7- Promptly at 10:30 next morning Supt.

An effort will be made by the county superintendant in the near future to carry out the plan. Mr. M. M, Waltz being absent his subject was not discussed. Miss. Hortense Greffoz ef Corvallis Public School,' read a .paper prepared by M. C." Swan of the same school on "What should a teacher do on beginning a term of school in a I strange district?" Many excellent suggestions were given in the paper. " "What daily perparation should every teacher make in his school work," was discussed by Mr. Earnest Starr of the Dusty -school. He thought the entire success of the reci tation depended on, in a " great measure, ; the preparation of .the teacher for his daily " work. By such preparation the teacher could hold the attention without much effort The sal ient points ef the lesson were always brought out and impressed on the pupil. Prof. S. I. Pratt gave an interesting talk on "School Government." He urged the teachers . to pay more attention to the details of the- school room. Never allow the pupils to disturb recitation by asking questions or otherwise; the time of the recitation- belonged to the pupils reciting. Mr.M. C. Swan gave an interesting exercise on how to con duct a recitation in reading. This ex ercise was one of the most interesting features of the day. Some valuable sug gestions were given. 'How. can the mother help the teacher," was not dis cussed by Mrs. Nichols, she not being present. In her place Mr. W. H.Whit by and Mr. Louis Edwards .gave,- inter esting talks on the subject. Supt. Den man . presented the subject of "The State course of study." The day's exer cises were most agreeably broken by a delightful basket dinner. - A Costly Blaze. The farm-house of George Taylor situ ated in the foot hills about 2o miles northwest of Corvallis, was burned to the giound on last Saturday night. 'The fire was the result of a defective chimney. It was a very dry night and a streng wind was blowing from the north mak ing it a most favorable time for a fire. Shortly before supper, the family living in the house, by the name of O'Donnell, discovered a fire in the roof and by prompt work extinguished it, or at least they supposed they had done so. - But while eating supper a roaring noise was heard and on going outside the occu pants of the house were surprised to find the roof completely enveloped in names. The fire was completely beyond their control and all efforfc at extinguishing it proved fruitless. It was supposed that the " fire had. not been "extin guished the first time, and- rekindling, was soon master of the situation. ' , Nearly all the articles of furniture were saved, though the dwelling, wodshed and milkhouse were totally destroyed. -'-The, building -was I insured to the amount of $400 and Mr, Taylor places his loss at $1000. be redeemed on presentation.

They have talked of a service of about $1200 per year, some members thinking per haps that nearly the ' same ' number of lights could be secured for ; that amount and others that a reduction in the .num ber of lights and price could be' made, and that they could, probably" arrange a moonlight schedule such as is adopted in many cities, but thus far they have failed to reach an agreement.

The manner of weigh ing is not that pursued, regularly-every four years when weighers are employed on the trains to compute the total bulk. In the present manner of weighing, not pursued for over twenty years, the four classifications ef mail are weighed seper ately.
