TONGUE AND SIMON.
Two Members of toe Doleaatton Respond
to the Council's MotnorlaU;- "
At its regular meeting iast month,' the
city council framed a memorial . to con
gress, urging the necessity of immediately
granting an appropration for the contiu
uaoce of the work no being done on the
revetment on the Willamette, east of this
city. It was pointed out, that this was
the most urgent and important improve
ment now .demanding attention on the
entire river; that if the jetty were not
extended another 1200 feet, the work
already completed might be destroyed
by the spring freshets, and a new channel
be cut, leaving this city a mile from the
river: that, in the event of trie river
changing its course, a greater snm would
be necessary to dredge tb.9 new channel
and make it navigable than was now
being asked for, and it would lie an act
of wisdom and economy for Congress to
grant $8,000 for the completion of the
present work. -
Copies of this memorial were sent to
our delegation in Congress and other
officials, by Mayor Crawford, and he is
in receipt of replies from Senator Simon
and Congressman Tongue. The former
says, briefly : ."I shall take up the
matter with the members of the Oregon
delegation, and I feel confident that
whatever can be done to promote the
interest of your city will receive the
earnest consideration ot each member of
the delegation.".: This is encouraging, so
far as the good intentions of the senator
are concerned, but the question is more
far reaching than the simple "interests
of this city" are concerned. We would
earnestly impress upon congress that the
farms of a host of citizens are in jeopar
dy ; that there is danger of having to
expend a vast sum" in clearing a new
channel, and that navigation is in danger
of being long obstructed. The matter is
of state importance.
Congressman Tongue says :
"The statement id your letter that the
money is exhausted is somewhat of a
surprise to me; On December 31st, last,
according to the report of the chief of
engineers, there was available for the
works along the Willamette river nearly
$25,000. I had supposed that that mon
ey was available for this purpose. Upon
that, however, it is possible that I may
be mistaken, but I will look into this
matter at once, and see what can be
done. It is exceedingly difficult to pro
cure approprations of this class outside
of the river and harbor bill. It can only
be done under peculiar circumstances in
great emergences. It would require a
very strong recommendation from the
engineering department. General Wil
son will doubtless refer the matter to
Captain Langfitt, so that it will take
some little time. I hope for success and
insure you of my willingness to do every
thing that is possible to bring it about."
Perfect confidence is imposed in the
efforts and ability of the' delegation to
secure this appropration, if possible,
and as this is a matter of "peculiar cir
cumstances" and a great emergency, it is
hoped that Captain Langfitt, who is
thoroughly acquainted with the condi
tions, will supply a very strong recom
mendation for the granting of the appro.
priation.-
Oregon's Peculiar Poet.
There was a two-fold reason for the
large attendance at the Opera House,
Saturday evening, when' Joaquin Miller
told of "Lessons not Found in Books,"
and described "Our Arctic Empire."
The first, and principal one no . doubt, a
desire to hear the gifted poet of the
Sierras ; the second, a curiosity to see the
man. . Both were abundantly gratified.
As a poet, Ciacinnatus Heine Miller is s
credit to Oregon and the nation and a
benefactor of mankind.; He tunes his
harp to the soft murmurings of the brook
and sings sweet words of innocence and
youth. Then, when changeful nature
fills his ear with rear of cataract and
thunders peal, bold and masterful be
comes his touch and a clarion voice rings
outin. wild, fierce song. His moods are
as fitful as the winds,' and his convict
ions as stable as the rocks.
His peculiar manner and eccentric ways
have given him the reputation of being
freakish and this reputation in a measure
proved a drawing card. But Joaquin
Miller is not a freak. 'His life is single
and stands out from tae great mass of
humanity, marking him a peculiar man,
but there is no lack of wit or imperfection
of the mind. What his moral character
may be is a thing apart, and a subject for
the cloister rather than the' study. .
In "Lessons not Found in Books" he
told his auditors that to be good was to
be happy. To be good was to look
for good in everything and to seek it was
to find it. To hope tor perfection was to
court disappointment, for nothing in na
ture .is flawless. Even the sun has spots.
From the frowning summits of these
rock-ribbed hills innumerable hosts of
angels look down upon the valleys, and
it needs but the band of a Michael Angelo
to reveal them. There are sermons in
the stones, music in the running brooks
and good in everything. Woven through
his remarks were a number of his poems
and his rendition gave them added
strength.
A solo by Prof. Gates accompanied, by
Miss Edith Gibson, which was enthusi
astically received filled an intermission.
Mr. Miller - appeared In his Klondyke
costume and told of our arctic empire
and Lis memorial trip over the Yukon,
the details of which are familiar to every
one. His description of the midnight
sun and northern lights was wierd and
beautiful. In language graphic and
intensely thrilling he told of the fearful
plunge through White Horse rapids
where Death sat seven times mounted,
and his word painting of the birth of
baby day and the battle between the
hosts of light and darkness, was the
finished product of the artist.
Consul to ChuuK King.
A Washington dispatch dated Febru
ary 27, conveys the. intelligence that
Harry B. Miller, of Eugene, Oregon,
who was today appointed United States
consul at Chung King, China, was
selected by Representative Tongue, whose
efforts brought about the nomination
Soon after last election Mr. Tongue made
an effort to secure consulship for Mr,
Miller, in Germany or Eastern Asia, and
for that purpose secured the endorse
ment oi the delegation.
The present appointment meets with
the approval of both Senators Simon and
McBride. The appointment will proba
bly be cpnfirmed in a few days. This
office pays $3000 a year. Through the
office Mr. Tongue and Mr. Miller hope to
be able to assist in building up the Ore
gon trade with the Orient. .
Mr. Miller is one of the well-known
business men and politicians of Oregon.
In 1837-89 he represented Josephine
conntv in the state senate, and subse
quently represented that county as state
reDresentative. and in both houses was
in nolitical and business measures.
For many years he was a partner of ex
Senator J. C. Carson in the manufacture
of white Dine lumber at Grants Pass.
In recent years he has devoted his atten
tion to fruit culture, w'whicn ne nas
hm verv successful. He was . president
of the Oregon Agricultural College at
this city during the school year of 1896 97,
and was succeeded by President Gatch.
He is now president Of the state horti
cultural society of this state.
ANNUAL HELD MEET.
Corvallis, Eugene, Forest Qrovo Mo
month, Newbertc, Salem, will compete,
At a business meeting of the Inter
collegiate Amateur Athletic Association
of Oregon, held at Salem, Saturday, Fred
Colvig, Grant Elgin, and Bruce Bsrnett
represented the OAC. Delegates from
U. of O., P. U., O. S. N. S., W. U.
and Pacific University were also present
It was decided that the annual field-meet
sbonld be held in Salem the firdt Satur
day in June. Aside from the disposition
on the part of the representatives of W.
U.ito boss the job, everything went off
smoothly and there was a general
unanimity of opinion. The application
of the school at Albany and Mt Angel
for admission to the association received
the active support of Salem", while the
Monmouth delegates, who were instruct
ed by their college to vote for .the ad
mission of these schools, had no choice
in the matter and passively voted "aye."
Had they been left to use their own
judgment in the matter, their vote might
have been different. All other delegates
voted against the resolution. .
The field meet has been patronized
and fostered mainly by U. of O. and
OAC and the winning of the contest
really lies between these two representa
tive institutions. They eend eaeh rear
to Salem from twenty to thirty athletes,
while the smaller institutions .enter one
or two first-class men in one or the other
of the events. These in their way help
to make things interesting, but without
U of O and OAC there would be no
field day.
Each institution is charged an entrance
fee of $10, and granted a per centage for
milage. The school at Albany would
probably enter three or four indifferent
men, and would receive as much per
centage of the gate receipts as would the
OAC. Her part in the contest would
not add any to its merits and. have no
influence on the result, and these things
are true also of Mt Angel.
The Salem Statesman says that there
is considerable talk of arranging a local
field day, the same to be held one week
or probably two weeks prior to the state
intercollegiate meet. It is proposed that
at this meet competiag teams from Salem
Y. M. C. A.. W. U.f and Chemawa
Indian school should participate. This
would be nice. ' Albany and Mt. Angel
might be invited to take part in this
meeting, and the promising youngsters
who win in these events might represent
one or other of these schools at the state
field meet. And too, as the Statesman
very aptly concludes : "A local field
meet, under such management would
not necessarily in any war interfere with
the state intercollegiate meet and would
tend to promote athletic sports in the
Willamette valley. The state meet
Could then be held at Corvallis or Eugene
where it rightfully should be held, and a
step forward will have been taken in
making this enjoyable event more popu
lar and successful.
Hold Your Temper.
The athletic young gentlemen who are
acquiring their education at the expenses
of the state and general government at
the OAC are afraid to let the young
men who are educating themselves at
Albany college into the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association. Likewise the U.
ofO. chaps imagine that they are the
one and only institution on earth. But
Albany college and its athletic depart
ment will be heard from. ' We suggest
that the Oregon colleges leave out the
two big hogs and run 'the association on
strictly sqnare methods. Albany college
has employed an athletic instructor and
has been to a large expense and expected
that it would be admitted to the associ
ation. It has a number of athletes who
will compare favorably with any in the
state, it is a mean piece of spite work
to bar them from the association, which
will militate against the colleges which
voted to do SO. Albanv Herald. It is
not a far. cry to the time when Albany
college voted to exclude representatives
oi the OAC from oratorical contests,
and bo one said naughty thines about it.

COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Much of Practical Value Accomplished at
this-Meeting. . j ... , T . 1
The tenth local teachers' institute for
Benton County was held in the public
school building of this city last Saturday.
A large gathering of teachers was pres
ent to take advantage of the excellent
program which had been prepared. The
exact number of teachers present was 56,
a large number of which came from
Philomath. The interest and enthusi
asm of the teachers ran high during the
entire session. The program began at
the appointed hour with singing led by
Professor W. A. Ginn and his wife in
which the entire institute joined. Rev.
L. M. Boozer read an excellent paper on
"Moral Training in the Public Schools."
Many good suggestions were offered by
the speaker. In theliscussion, Prof. J.
D.Wood thought that the life of the
teacher formed the character of the child.
Rev. O. C. Poling nrged the teachers to
educate the heart as well as the mind of
the pupil. Prof. J. B. Horner gave an
interesting talk on "School Libraries,
How to Use, How to Get." He carefully
outlined the plans by which libraries
could be obtained ; he urged great care to
be used in making the proper, selection
of books; that the children were alwars
too glad to assist in such work and that
no district had a feasable excuse for not
having a library of well selected books.
In the discussion Prof. A. C. Guthne of
Philomath schools explained the plan
by which the schools ef that city had
secured over 200 volumes. Mr. W. E.
Yates insisted that a book of fiction
written by a good author should not be
excluded from any library. "Music in the
Public Schools" was ably presented by
Prof. W. A. Ginn. He presented the
subject as he would to a class of beginners
Lack of time preven ted him going into
details. It might be well to remark that
Sup'tDenmati has Eecured the services
of Prof. Ginn who wjll present this sub
ject at the annual teachers' institute for
this year, ' This will give every teacher
in the county an opportunity to become
familiar with the rudiments of music so
that they can nse this information in
their daily work in the school. Prof.
Thomas H. Crawford read an able and
interesting papr on, VDaily Duties of the
Teacher." Many valuable suggestions
were offered by the speaker which if
heeded will aid materially iu doing effeci
ent work by the teacher. "Written Ex
minations. Their Use and Abuse," was
presented by Prof. W. T. Wyatt in a
strong paper. The manner in . which he
handled the subject showed careful prep
aration and study, Some points brought
out were: It vindicates the teacher
from any charges of malice or partiality:
it tests the ability of the pupil in compo
sition and gramatical construction; it
lessens the burdens of the teacher ; and
is a true index of the thoroughness of the
work gone over by the pupil. State
Sup't J. H. Ackerman being introduced
made a very enthusiastic and practical
talk on "Ideals." He held the rapt at
tention of the teachers fer nearly an hour.
Prof. Ackerman is doing some, excellent
missionery work in assisting in these
institutes. He is thus coming in contact
with most of the teachers of the state
which enables him to arouse a (greater
interest and enthusiasm among them.
Our citizens chose wiselv when they
selected him to lead the educational
forces of our state. Under his adminis
tration a state course of study has been
prepared whicli is being used in every
district in Oregon, many changes for the
better have been made in the school law,
and new teachers' registers have been
prepared which are said to be best ever
prepared. These will soon be ready for
distribution among the different dis
tricts. The regular .institute work was
interspersed with music and recitations
by Miss Orla Thompson and Mr. Edgar
Tally. Their selections being respect
ively. "Mary's Night Drive" and
"Alasca." Both did well and reflected
much credit upon themselves and their
teacher Miss Helen Crawford' of the O
AC. The next teachers' institute will
be held in 'Fairmount, just across the
river from Albany, during the first of
May.
