The year 1900 is the' 1900th year, of our

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

feathers perhaps as any bird vould have

fish, and all wha desire the welfare of the
fishing industry, should strive to have
hatcheries placed in the- various rivers
and streams. . If something is not done
the rivers will be fished out, and the in

dollars annually will be killed.

NINTH LOCAL INSTITUTE.
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.
Denman and S, I. Pratt arrived with two
hack : load of teaches ; from: Cor
vallis, aud the work of the institute was
continued. There were some 25 or niore"
teachers present from all parts -"of the
county, together with a concourse of peo
ple from the surrounding" neighborhood.
There was singing by all present and
recitations by-Miss Addie Zierolf, Ger
trude Brown, Floy Hawley, and .dna
Mires. -v Mrs, Ida B, Callahan, ot the
OAC, read an entereseting paper pn the
subject of "Libraries . in the coutftry
schools", on which she cited the import
ance of having a library in the school in
order for the best work to be accom
plished by the pupils and teacher. - She
recommended that the Eastern 'method
of a circulating library was a plan that
could well be adopted by the teachers of
Oregon. -The books were to ,be carried
from district to district . by . some patron
of the district. 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.

amount of $400 and Mr, Taylor places
his loss at $1000.

between the city and the electric light
compay. Monday night for ' the first

upon instructions from the city council.
The city has a large number of street
lights, incandescents. and ' 16 arc lights
for which it pays $148: per month: - The
city has been running behind financially
for several years and the' councilmen do
not believe that the city' can afford to
pay $1800 per year for electric lights un
der the present circumstances . 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.

. -Mail weighing began a few days ago

ing is not that pursued, regularly-every
four years when weighers are employed

In the present manner of weighing, not
pursued for over twenty years, the four
classifications ef mail are weighed seper
ately. In accordance with Postmaster
Johnson's instructions he has to see
that the different classifications ! of mail
put upon the trains here are weighed
seperately during the. weighing period.
Tbe railway mail clerks are . to weigh,
according to classification, only the mail
that is placed in the drop boxes on the
