All signs, says the San Francisco Post,
point to a revival of the era of railroad
construction in the west, which has been
suspended for the past three Or lour years
on account of short crops, of strikes, of
stringency in the money market, and
other causes of minor importance. The
splendid grain crops of 1891, so great that
the railroads with all their facilities could
not handle them, have created a new in
terest In railroad extension and made the
prospect much brighter.
Klamath Star: . Mr. Stewart, "the lost
man" of Keno, wasn't seriously lost. He
had merely taken an overdose of cold ge
ography, and was rapidly getting rid of it
at Mr. Otey's stove when the searching
party came down upon him like a land
slide. "We thought you were lost, amid
the deep snows of the forest, and we have
come to carry you home on a bier," said
Mr. Emmitt. "Well, fetcb on your beer,"
said Mr. Stewart, rubbing his hands glee
fully, "fetch on your beer."
Our book-keeper is engaged in making
out the accounts of subscribers with the
Times-M ouktaineer. We follow no pi
ratical mettioa in journalism, and do not
send papers to any persons not desiring
them. ' As a business principle, readers
of a paper should know their indebted
ness to publishers the same as to mer
chants or mechanics. It requires money
to print a paper the same as it does to
operate a factory or other industry. Our
patrons should consider these statesments
as a business-like balancing of books,
which should be done at least every year.
Eon. W. Lair Hill said to a Seattle Press
Times man: "1 baye received advices to the
effect that the Oregon senators are still
pressing ths claims of Mr. Joseph Simon,
and the Washington senators are still stand
ing by their recommendation of myself; and
that, while nothing can be predicted with
much-positivenftis, my appointment is prob
able. Still I am not counting much upon
it; am not going to be greatly disappointed
if defeated, and am not going into the cave
of Adullam in any event, because there is
too much fan ahead in Washington for any
sensible man to go into a cave with unfun
ny associates as long aa he can help it."
Last Saturday L. W. Deyoe, Dr. H. A.
Lienenger and O. V. Adams left Browns
ville in a skiff on a hunting expedition down
the Calapooia. After a varied experience,
killing a large number of ducks and geese,
they arrived just above the (JaUpooia
bridge, when they were whirled against a
log and the boat was capsized. Mr. Adams
succeeded in getting r-n the log with his
gun, but Deyoe and Lienenger were thrown
into the river, .and their guns, thirty ducks
and some geese dropped to the bottom
where they now are. Mr. Deyoe swam to
the shore though loaded down in a leather
suit. Dr. Lienenger clung to the boat, and
was rescued nearly exhausted by a farmer
who happened along. The experience was a
thrilling one, and their escape is a fortunate
ope,
Inlander t Dayton has a little flour war
on hand. For some time past flour has
been retailing at $5 a bawl or $1.30 per
sack. On Monday the Portland Flouring
Mills Company issued' a circular reduc
ing the price of flour to $4 23 per barrel
and $1.10 per sack. It was generally un
derstood that the object of the big cut
was to freeze out the Huntsville flour and
the flour made by the little mill just re
cently started in this city by ti. H. Kribs,
and the sentiments of the people were
mostly with the small firms. The mer
chants returned to the company all the
stock on hand and the mill company is
now selling direct to the people. The cut
was met in part by Kribs. The Mill
Company' say they . are not at bottom
prices yet and things are just getting in
teresting. We remember about three
years ago the Portland Mills Company
made a war on the Huntsville flour in the
same manner but failed in accomplishing
its object .
East Washingtonian: Goso Fields had a
lively experience with a crazy man on
Friday of last week. Gose was sitting
quietly in a chair in the hotel bar when
Joe Crouch came np to him and said,
"Damn you, I can lick you," at the same
time striking Gose a stinging blow in the
face. Gose tried to reason with Crouch,
thinking he was intoxicated, but Crouch
insisted on a fight and emphasized his
words wiih another blow. Gose then
sprang to bis feet and a regular Sullivan
knock down ensued which continued for
several minutes before the enraged men
were separated. . Crouch was at once ar
rested and placed in charge of the author
ities. He had been imbibing rather free
ly and it was then thought that he was
only intoxicated, but he didn't sober up,
and his friends finally came to the con
clusion that he was insane. He remained
in charge of the sheriff until Saturday
evening, when he was examined by phy
sicians who recommended his commit
ment to the insane asylum.

Winter in the Mountains.
Ashland Tidings.
When the heavy snowfall of holiday
times came it caught the Hungry creek
miners short of provisions. They kept a
a trail open over the mountains to Stoat
tuck's ranch, about ten miles, but the big
storms left the snow from three to six feet
deep along their trail, and they had a deS'
perate time getting it opened. J. W.
Briner, who was in town last week, gave
the Tidings an account of it which is calcu
lated to enre any ordinary case of infatua
tion for the adventure of a trip through the
mountains in their winter garb. Some of
the Chinese miners had butchered twelve
bead of hogs at Shattuck's, and Briner,
Alex Tyler and about a dozen Chinese had
succeeded in getting through from Hungry
ereek to Shattuck's. They each took a pack
of meat upon his back and started to return
to the mines. Nearly all of them were
worn cut before getting through, and Tyler
wonld have laid out in the snow and proba
bly perished bad not Briner, helped him
through. Two of the Chinamen fell by the
wav. and their brethren wouldn't or
couldn't go back for enough to help them
through. Mr. Briner found one of '-them
after he bad been out in the snow two days
and three nights and carried him to a cabin
near the trail. The poor fellow was crazed
by exposure and had taken off and thrown
away nearly all of his clothing when he was
found. He was.nade as comfortable as
possible, but died the next day. The other
Chinaman wasn't found, and will not be till
snow melts.

An Unexpected Surprise.
Harney County News.
Quite an interesting little episode took
place at a hotel in Canyon City last Thurs
day on the arrival of the Baker-Canyon
stage, by a pretty little foreign looking
woman announcing herself as the wife ef a
young business man, a clothier of that town,
and giving him a real old-wife scolding, for
not haying sent her money to bring her
home from the old country. It seems that
he was able to show proof ft the riostoffice
of having forwarded travelling expenses,
hut. too late for her service. This is her
story: She and the young man are Russians,
and were married six years ago, and some
time since the went to Russia to regain lost
health; receiving no letter cor money rela
tive to her returning to America, she ap
plied to the Jewish Relief society and her
passage was paid. Arriving at New York
she was unable to find him; after a while he
was located at Canyon City, Oregon, and
the relief society again came to her aid,
and she surprised him. Unltke Madam
JDamroscb, who came to .burns two years
ago on a similar errand, this little woman
said if he didn't want . her she didn't want
him, bnt she did want half of his property,
as she had helped to earn it.

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS.
Ia Watson's Complete Speller use the
easy lines in each lesson first, afterwards
the harder ones.
- Drawing may be introduced to alternate
with writing at the option of the school.
Ill all grades particular attention should
be paid to correct use of language. All the
theory of grammar in the world will not
amount to much, if the pupil is not trained -to
tpsak the English language correctly.
In earlier grades than the eighth physiol
ogy may be taught by object lesson, or the
use of Smith's Primary Physiology.
It must be remembered that moral in
struction is called for by the law, and of
necessity is required. The education of the
child intellectually, withont correct moral
principles as the fonndation of character,
may be a curse instead of a blessing. Ethics
for Young People by C. C. Everett is an ex
cellent text book for such instruction, and
should be in every school iu the county.
No full explanation of the manner of
teaching each branch is presented until the
-course ot study is, hually arranged and
adopted. '
. REMARK?. '
In presenting this course of study it is
hoped that while waiting for its final adop
tion, every one interested will give it their
careful Btudy, aud the public the benefit of
their criticism. Adverse critioism is not
feared half so much as apathy in regard to
it.
Tuat there are grave difficulties to be met
with in grading the country schools, some of
which cannot be wholly overcome, none
will attempt to deny. But, that there are
great benefits, on the other band, to bs de
rived from it can be equally well shown.
Some of them are here presented.
As the work now stands in tbe country
school there is nothing tangible to work to
or from. There is no beginning nor ending.
There is nothing definite in the mind of
either teacher or pupil as to what consti
tutes a completion of his studies in tbe
common school. In the graded course there
would be a carefully prepared plan arranged
by the best educators of the county, gleaned
from the ripe experience of others all over
our broad land; and the pupil could have
the satisfaction of knowing that when be
had passed through the course and gained a
certain per cent, there was something fin
ished, something completed.
No education is wholly finished in this
file, but why, we ask, should not the pupil
have a diploma given him when he has com
pleted tbe common school course, as a re
ward for his labor, as well aa one who fin
ishes the. university or college course? It is
believed that the granting of such a diplo
ma by tne county noara or examiners,
which the graded course contemplates,
would be a grand incentive to tbe pupil.
Lessening the number of classes it wonld
give the pnpil the benefit of a longer recita
tion, and save the teacher's time so that he
could do more and better work with each
class.
An examination wonld be held at tbe
close of each term, and a certificate of
standing given each pnpil. At the begin
ning of the next term if there were a change
of teachers, the place of each pupil would
be accurately known the first day, instead
of the new teacher turning them all back to
the first of the book, and spending several
weeks to know where they belonged.
If tbe graded course weie adopted for the
schools of the county, it wouHl still be op
tional with the boards of each district
whether thev accepted it or not: so that no
harm could come from it in any eyent.
Many other reasons might be urged in its
favor, but these are given with the hope
and the praver that whatever may be done
will redonnd to the benefit of our schools.

The Congregational Church Choi r Concert
was given last evening and more than ful-
nued anticipations. Every number was
well received and encores were enthusiastic
ally called for. The large audience was
more than pleased, as was evinced by the
repeated and continued applause tbioughont
the performance. The house was packed,
many chairs in the aisles being occupied,
and the proceeds will, no doubt, be found a
tidy sum. Following is the programme as
rendered:
PART FIRST.
1 Chorus "Befrgars Carnival" Choil
2 Vocal Duet "Ah, Could I Teach the Night
ingale" Misses Williams and Craodall
S Solo "Ah Se Tu Donna" Miss Lena Morgan

Astorian: The purser of the Lurline tells
a story which well illustrates the difference
between Eastern and Western Oregon.
About two years ago an old lady got on tbe
boat at the Cascades, on her way to the
valley, and a frieud sung out: "Hello! Mrs,
Blank; where are you going?" "Going to
get water to wash my clothes; we have
none in Eastern Oregon," was the reply,
About a montb after she was a passenger on
the Lurline going back. The purser said
'How do you do, Mrs. Blank? Have yon
got your washing done!" "Yes," said tbe
old lady, "1 have, and now I am going back
east of the mountains to dry the clothes."
PART SRCOKD.
1 Anthem "Great is the Lord" Choir
2 Solo "Thoe Only I Love" Miss Lena Morgan
icncore, "vraaie doner)
3 Cornet solo "Yankey Doodle" with varia
tions Mr J Benton
I Solo "Flower Girl' Mrs B S Huntington
(fcneore, "Lullahy )
S Vocal duet "Schubert's Sereuade"
....Misses Lena Morgan and Maie E Williams
6 Solo and chorus "Winter Lullaby"
MUses Maie E Williams and Grace Cran
dall, and Mr H P Ernst.
As a matter of course, the most delight
ful feature of the entertainment was the
singing of Miss Lena Morgan, of Portland,
who assisted in the concert. Her voice is
full, true and admirably trained. The
close of each of her numbers was the signal
for an outburst of applause and appeals for
"encore." After her last appearance and
the rendition of the "Cradle Song," the an
dience refused to be satisfied and continued
calling for more until Miss Morgan bowed
her thanks and refused.
The entertainment showed that The
Dalles bas musical talent of its own and of
a high order. It is a matter of regret that
with so many good voices more of these con
certs are not giyen, as a good house would
be assured to a programme like that of last
evening. Miss Morgan was accompanied
by Miss Aunie M. Lang. The other accom
panists of the evening were Miss Matilda
Hollister, Mrs. Jno. Dexter and Mrs. J. M
Patterson.

An Oregon Heroine-
A Pennsylvania nu.i after making a trip
through OregoD, goir to Florence in Lane
county, wrote a lou- letter to bis horns
paper, and among other things, such as
compliment for the heautiiul Willamette
valley, one of the richest farming countries
in-the world, be tells the following: About
noon we reached Hale's, where we stopped
for dinner and changed horses. Here we
saw one of the heroines of Oregon, Mia
Anna Whisman, daughter of one of the
proprietors of the stage line. Five years
ago, at the age of seventeen or eighteen
years, she began to carry the mail on horse
back over the mountains, a distance of
nearly forty miles. She continued at this
most of the time for two years, in some of
the worst weather that this rainy, muddy
region can produce. During these two
years Miss Whisman 'a lonely rides through
this desolate region were not without ad
venture. One time she found her road cnt
off by forest fires which were raging in tbe
mountains. She tried in several places to
find a way through, bnt had to turn back
and take another road, and by riding at
night succeeded in getting through on time.
At anotoer time, in a lonely place, sbe saw
two large bears in the road. She managed
to get past them undisturbed. Then she
looked back to see if tbey would follow ber.
At that moment another bear cime out of
the woods just ahead and the frightened
horse sprang suddenly aside, throwing Miss
Whisman to the ground. The horse then
ran back past tbe two bears and stopped.
Miss Whisman's safety then lay in regain
ing possession of her horse. This sbe man
aged to do without being attacked. Sbe
then urged the frightened animal past the
bears again and went on her wav. Miss
Whisman is a quiet, modest appearing
young lady and does not seem to care much
for the fame her achievements have brought
ber.

Captain Gore's Good Fortune.
Astorian.
A good many Astorians remember Cap
tain William Gore, who ran tbe steamer
Mountain Queen on the lower Colombia sev
eral years ago. He is down here on a visit
and last week, went over to Gray's Harbor
to see bis brother. Of late years he has
been running a steamboat of his own from
the Little Dalles to . Reyelstoke, on the
Upper Columbia. About a year ago he
staked a miner in tbe Okanogan tor $60
worth of grab, and when that was all eaten
up tbe man told Captain Gore that be had
a way-np prospect, bat that he bad nothing
left to boy food with. Gore went security
for food to the extent of $100 more, and the
miner buckled in to work again. He struck
it; tne lode was developed, and attracted a
good deal ot interest, and just before he
came to Astoria on this trip. Captain Gore
wai ottered frZo.WO cash for bis naif inter
