Indian Schools Meet -Aug. 22-27. The Pacific Coast Indian in stitute wjll be Held at Newport frpm August 22 to 27, inclusive, and will be under the ' supervis ion of Miss Etelle Reel, superin tendent of the Government In dian schools, and M. F. Holland, supervisor. The program will include talks by some of the best known educators of the country, and a number. of addresses will be made by prominent orators. The Cbemawa Indian band, one of the best musical organizations in the state and one that has been heard by more people of Oregon (and admired -by all) than any other similar organization on the Pacific Coast, will furnish the music for the occasion. Miss Reel, who will have charge ot the institute, is one of the most prominent educators in the Indian bureau, and one to whom the schools started and operated owe a great deal. She started her educational work in Wyoming where she taught school for a time and later was elected state superintendent. Dur ing her incumbency' of that posi tion she had occasion to corres-1 pond with the land department; at Washington regarding school! lands due the educational depart ment of her state, and as she did not get the satisfaction expected from the correspondence, Miss Reel decided to go to Washing ton and see if she could not do better by a personal visit. She went, she saw,' she conquered.' The land officials who had evaded her and had followed the old fashioned red-tape methods in dealing with her by mail, were simply annihilated by her breezy, Western ways, her steadfastness ward business methods and when she made her wants, known it was in so main and decided a manner that she accomplished all she had gone for and the little matter under dispute .was ad justed in a few days while under ordinary circumstances it would have taken a few years or possi bly decades. ; This' attracted the attention of . the interior depart ment to Miss Reel, and when her term of office had expired in Wy oming, tne Indian department had a place ready for her. After earnest efforts on the part of the Washington authorities, Miss Reel was induced to accept the position ;of he superintendent of Indian - achools - and she at once began her labors in that depart ment. The result has been eminently satisfactory to the de partment and of vast benefit to the schools. Her straightfor ward and efficient manner of do ing business, her demands from subordinates for better service, her trhtiring energy and unques tioned integrity -have brought about a great change in the edu cational department of the In dian service of .the Government, and she stands high in the esti mation of the officials of the bureau. Her presence at the institute at Newport will insure most eacient wont tnere and a most successful meeting, and the teachers "from the different Indian schools of the Pacific Coast will be better fitted for their labors as a result of coming in touch with this' wonderful woman, .whose fame has spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Lake of the Woods to the Gulf of Mexico. Wonderful Marksmanship. A , most wonderful exhibition of. marksmanship and one which dazed even our own "crack" shots was that given- free of charge last Friday, at 10 o'clock, down on Mary's flat by Frank Carter, rep resenting the Peters ' Cartridge company. The exhibition was unique as it was wonderful. Mr. Carter commenced his exhibitions by shooting at a brick thrown in BIG the air, having no . trouble with a 25-20 rifle ia splintering the object every time. : From that size of a target, Mr. Carter grad uated down until a small iron washer, about the size of a 25 cent piece was thrown in the air and was sent spinning into space. Not only did he hit these small objects fairly, but as a final won" derment to the spectators he shot through pieces or paper pasted over the center holes in the wash er while in the air.' Another stunt that created amazement on the part of the spectators was when a 22 caliber cartridge was exploded by striking the percuss ion end with the ball" from his rifle while the cartridge was fall ing. Small 22 caliber cartridges were thrown up and disappeared with a shot from his rifle; ' . To local "gun cranks" there" were (Jreral facts that struck them significantly. In the first place, after all this shooting the barrels of the guns used were comparatively dean and hardly any signs of the usual powder uncleanliness. This combined with the phenomenal marksman ship, has caused Corvallis shoot ers to bring in a verdict that Peters Semi -Smokeless' powder, which Carter uses is more than usual ammunition. It must be the "best that is" or everwas' Coffee as a Disinfectant. Don't let the dyspeptic cranks who have worn out their stomachs on strong foods and drinks dis suade you irbni one of the princi pal enjoyments connected .with good living. " 'It is" principally people wno wish' to sellt you 'something just as good" at a big profittO themselves, who tell you; uuu couecis uuruui. xi is ' not only the best drink that Mother Nature has produced; but ltsisa preventive of.dise ipent pbysiciansaysthatffees a disinfectant. His advice is : " Drink plenty of coffee Jf there is sickness around you. , Coffee is a good .preventive": of typhoid fever and cholera This has been' proven. . Cholera germs and typhoid gertfts havbeen thrown into 'doffeeyild the aromatic drink has not once ; failed to kill, the germs within an hour. Hence amid contagious ' conditions do not neglect among your other precautions, to drink: three cups of strong coffee at each aneal." To get the best results leave out all milk or cream, but use sugar to suit your teste. When they drank this in Olympus they called it Ambrosia. Will Boom his Business. The Corvallis Saw Mill Com pany is preparing to do business on a large scale the ' coming sea- son. uver three , million leet 01 logs are now being brought down the river from points aboye to be cut into lumber at the saw mill here in Corvallis! This bigdrive Will include about one million feet of maple, two million feet ot fir and several thousand feet of oak, ash, etc. The logs will be gin to arrive in a few days.. ; Mr. Strong has nearly his whole force up there at the present time work ing with the logs. A large num ber of logs were purchased from tBto Booth-Kelly Co., of Eugene, who "lost them in a freshet last winter. ' An accide occurred last week that came near resulting in the loss of a valuable horse. While working near the water with one of the teams one of the horses backed into the stream and came near drowning before it was res cued. . A large part of the logs will be boomed at ' Harrisburg as the boom at this place will not hold them all. They will be securely locked in the boom at that place and can be floated down as they are needed. The Corvallis Mill has always given the public the best of satisfaction but will soon be more fully equipped to! sup ply every demand from the home 1 and large foreign trade: NO SEWER CONNECTIONS. Property Owners Will 7 v Required to Connect. Be The city health committee mide a tour a few days ago that was any thing else but a pleasant undertaking. They found a con dition of aflairs that is expressed lu their report by the significant weird "deplorable." It' seems strange that in a city as well sup plied with sewers as this city, there are so few closet and cess pool connections therewith. -An ordinance will, in all prob ability be passed at the next re gular session of the council, ' re quiring all property, owners to connect with sewers where later als are provided The Teporgqf the' eommittee 3m. unanimously adopted- by the JljNqcii 'and the city attorney -i?as instructed td prepare an ordinance covering same. - It is difficult to understand why broperty owners will petition for a sewer costiner the city thousands dollars, and then neglect to maKe use 01 n aiierwara. 1 ne city already has expended nearly $16,000 for this purpose, and it proposes that the health of the people shall - not ;, be endangered by the neglect of careless proper ty owners. The city health committee has made!a partial report, which is as follows: 4 'We have examined such water closets, etc and find a deplorable condition of affairs along this line in the city. In many olocks adjacent to sewers, there are no sewer connections whatever and in some places only one or two connections along an entire sewer. In block one. city of Cor vallis, there ares nine bams and stables and eleven water- closets all in use and not a single sewer Lral sewer exteBd t a new lat eral sewer extends, through the block. In the block on the west side of Main street running from Homing's grocery storr to Simp son's hardware store, there is one sewer connection - and that has been put in,.by a chinaman. These are ' fair. samples of the general cqhditions of water closet etcv We recommend that imme diate stepsf be taken .by. the coun cil for the passage, of an ordin ance compelling property owners to make sewer connections .when ever possible. :.
