Teachers of Pacific Coast. 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

" Drink plenty of coffee Jf there

is a good .preventive": of typhoid
fever and cholera This has

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

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. :.
