The C. & E: railroad makes a sharp curve along the top of this bluff, and in some manner it was evident that bugh saw log had been swung from a car, rolling thence to the bottom of the hill. Ho large was the log that it tore a path through the un derbrush, landi. g near the river bank, and there the big log was found. District No. 7 Alsea.

District No. kq. Evergreen School. Sup't Denman: Dear Sir: Since your visit to Evergreen school, the pupils are much encouraged in their efforts to do something for the Benton County School Fair. Most of the pupils are raising vegetables or flowers. The gills are now intending to do some sewing, can fruit and make jelly. Some ot their gardens are so located that they can irrigate them, and they will make goad use of their ad vantages. There will be some to enter the ciphering and spelling contests, and some will enter the writing contest.

Very respectfully, Annie French. School District No. 34. North Albany School, May 23 Mr. G. W. Denman. uear oir: la response to your invitation to let you know what our school is doing with regard to the All Benton School Fair, I must say that it has lost none cf its interest in the matter, but has rather been gaining interest. This school will be well repre sented m all the contests. Some ot" the larger pupils have dropped ut of school on account of "the -pring work, but they are still working industriously at their gardening. All seeding has been done, and a great many plants have been transplanted from the beds' and are receiving careful attention. fcor are the girls leaving all the honors to be won by thf !xys, as they intend to take part not only in the agricultural ex 1. ! l ! . 1. . 1 aiDic out are preparing to win prizes in the bread-making, sew ing, darning, and in fact, 1. every thing that is open to con test L,ook ou for us. Yours very truly, John A. Humphrey, teacher Monroe District No. 25. Mr. Geo. W. Denman. Dear Sir: Owing to the lat rain, and then the dry weathei following so closely we have not been able to do ou: plowing upon as large a scale as we should have desired. But Monroe does not intend by any means to hold the "sack while others pocket theorizes," for Roy and Vir gil Kay sav their gardens are growing very nicely and already show sign winners. Hugh and Omen Potter report that although their garden is yet in the embryo state, Hugh thinks very serious ly of "playing for the goat as it will be but a few years until he may have to ride the W. O. W. goat, so he'll be in practice when he joins that lodge. Seth and Ellis Brown have their eyes on that-er-well when you see some of the onions, beets and carrots they will produce this fall it will be amazing. Edna Martin and Mary Kerr are two gills whom they will never suspicion as fierce com petitors, but you just look put; it will just simply take your breath away when you see their light wholesome loaves of bread or other articles from the culi nary department, for it is there tbey are quite at . home, and you will surely have to tie a red rib-r bon on some of their fancy work which will be displayed in the All Benton School Fair. -Very trnlv, Earl Brown. District No. 6. . The Richard school pupils ate progressing very nicely with their work for the fair. The girls are taking an active part in the contest as well as the boys. They have some excellent flowers which will make a Sue showing for the fair. They are also tak ing an interest in cooKing ana sewing, and will probably some day be able to make some poor bachelor an excellent cook and waitress. There are several in this dist rict who have fine prospects for cucumbers and pumpkins which they never fail to water each day, Our schoDl is out now, and the children are taking more interest in the work and are being en couraged by their parents. They are putting forth their best efforts in the line of writing and drawing which probably may be the means of their carry ing away some of the grand prizes. Very trnly, Fred Curry, R. R. McHargne, Edward I. Gordon, Committee for school. A HUMAN BRIDGE. One of the Sights at Seattle Con vention Great Event. The most spectacular part of the program that is being arrang ed for the entertainment of dele gates to the Christian Endeavor convention to be held in Seattle in July is the building of a Christian Endeavor bride by a thousand . children, members of the junior department of the soc iety. The bridge is a wooden structure to be built in sections on the speakers platform in the main auditorium, on the conven tion grounds in Lincoln Park. Each section will have inscribed on it a biblical text or Christian Endeavor motto and when con structed will symbolize Christian Endeavor and its work through out the world. For the past three months a chorus of a thousand children have been rehearsing the seven teen songs to be sung during the building of the bridge. Forty children have been instructed by private teachers in elocution and singing and as they put the sect ions of the bridge together will sing or recite an appropriate se lection. After the work of construction has been completed, a march ot all nations will be begun. Pre' ceeded by a leader carrying the Christian Endeavor flag, the en tire chorus bearing the flags of all nations will march across the bridge. During the main part of the program the chorus will be gai b ed in white, but in the march they will don capes of red or green, the combination of red. white and green being the colors of the Christian Endeavor socie ty. In the rehearsals, graceful grouping of the children will be practiced and some pretty color effects are promised by the teach ers training the children.

We'll jaw abont it anyhow, and hev our way or none ! The thaw's set in too sodden, er the frost s staid in the soil Too long to give that wheat a chance. and crops is bound to spoil ! The weather's eifher most too mild, or too outrageous rough, And altogether too much rain, er not half rain en ugh ! Now, what I'd like and what you'd like is plain enugh to see; It's jest to have old Providence drop round on you and me, And ast as what oar views is first, re garding shine er rain 1 And post'em when we shet her off, er let her on again 1 And yet, I'd rutber after all consider ing other chores I got on band, attsndin' to my affairs and yours I'd rather miss the blame I'd git, a-run- in' thines up there, And spend my extry time in praise and gratitude and prayer.

Prof, and Mrs. S. W. Holmes left Wednesday .... for Ostrander, Wash., to take up their residence ana in their honor a reception was given at the M. E. church Monday evening, about 100 per sons being present. While the affair was entirely informal it was very enjoyable, although a feeling of sadness was manifest as the departure of the Holmes family was referred to by the guests. There was an impromptu pro gram mat began witn a song. "Blest be the Tie." by the audi ence followed bv a pretty duet by Mane and Evelyn Cathey; solo, Inez Johnson; solo R. N. White remarks by Mayor Lilly; reci tation, Mildred Hall; vocal solo, Dr. Cathey; address, Judge Wat ters: vocal duet, R. N. White and A. P, Johnson, address, Dr Cathey ; recitation, Mrs. Carroll Cummings; address, Prot Holmes; remarks, Rev. Feese. After the program had been concluded, Prof. and Mrs Holmes were invited forward and in behalf of the audience Rev. Feese in a few well chosen words presented them with handsome silver bread tray, as sunng them that while the gift was but a simple oSering of only a few dollars' value it conveved in a measure an idea of the love and esteem for the recipients that is felt by those who made the gift. Prof. Holmes responded with deep feeling, and the party was then asked to join in a so cial nour. la tne dining room cocoa, tea and wafers were served as the guests chatted and engag ed in a social time. Prot. Holmes has been identi hed with the Corvallis public school for seven years, during which he has been largely re sponsible in bringing the school up to its present standard of ex cellence. As stated by Mr! Wat- ters in his remarks, "Prof. Hclmes has cat quite a swath with Us Farmers Grumble, Too. the small boys in Corvallis, and is universally respected among the scholars." He has also been a member of the city coun cil, where he has likewise been known for his ood works. In their new home Prof. Holmes, wife and daughter are certain to make their influence felt, and in Corvallis the many friends who regret exceedingly to say "Good bye" without exception join in a hearty "Good luck and happi ness attend you." THOSE RAILROAD LANDS. What the Question is Concerning Them "Actual Settlers." That "actual settlers" in the railroad land grants of the Ore gon & California and Southern Pacific means persons who have homes on the lands and dwell there seems accepted without dis pute. The more important ques tions for individuals who seek to wrest the lands from the railroads at $2.50 per acre, is whether their asserted right to buying the lands b longs to all persons who may establish homes on the lands or does it belong only to those who were residents when the railroad fixed the route of its lines and obtained the lands from the government? The latter is the meaning put on the acts of congress by the railroad. Its attorney insists that there is a line of supreme court decisions for the claim that the land grant acts of 1866-70 vested the railroad the right to own in fee simple the lands set apart in the grant by congress, and actually that those acts at tached the title to the railroad, when the railroad filed, in Wash ington, maps of the definite route of lines, at intervals between 1870-84. By this interpretition there can be no new actual settlers, and those persons who are squat ing on the lands are tresspasssers. This assumes that the railroad holds absolute ownership in the lands; that in accepting them from the government it agreed to sell at $2.50 per acre only to persons who had homes on the lands at the time title passed from the United States; and that there have been no such claim ants since. This is an elastic meaning of "actual settler." Should it be confirmed by the courts, the rail-, road cannoC be forced to sell its remaining 3,000,000 acres ot the grants. Tnis would defeat the efforts ot hundreds of persons in Western Oregon, who in the last few months have prepared to take possession ot railroad lands as actual settlers and have offer ed $2 50 an acre to the railroad.
