liscussion, tiie fubjact of opening ex
-rcises' was considered. Professor
Aaiker, Gavin and Ackerman gave
ihe teachers many -valuable sugges
tions. ' The recitation in grammar.
which followed, was very instructive-
Maxwell's Grammar has beeu tbe text
book of our schools ouly for a short
time, and the assistance rendered
teachers by Prof. A-ktrraan in ae
quuinting them with the author's
toobnicalities was valuable.

idera'ioa latitude and longitude,
.vhile tbe, class in history discussed

Wecinei-day the question "What Is
education?" was discussed with Prof.
Ackerman's class in theory. The con
clusion arrived at by she class was that

cation: that it comprises correct
principles, order and methods.

that every teacher in tbe district school
leave a copy of her program so tbat a
new teacher could use It the first day.
The grammar class studied transi
tive and intransitive verbs. The in
structor criticized tbe old-definition of
a transitive verb, namely, that a tran
sitive verb is one that takes an object,
and gave the following: when the action
expressed by the verb terminates upon
a receiver, the verb is transitive. As
syria and Peria were discussed during
tbe next period, and the question how
to find latitude and longitute was con
sidered by the geography class.
The fjllowing are tbe classes and
subjects studied Wednesday morning:

lems, i
. Composition Uses of the period and
of the apostrophe. ;

The subject "What Constitutes a
Good Teacher," occupied the teacher's
attention during the first session
Thursday afternoon. Mr. Walker,
opening tbe discussion, said tbat he
thought the good teacher was the
teacher who adopted the best means
possible to obtain tbe best wffk from
players of the Hood River nine were
absent. They guyed our boys by
telling them they could mck straw
berries but couldn't play base ball
but thefacttbattheetrawberry picker
were getting ahead in tbe game seemed
to worry them. The dispute ovef th
'ruling of thn umpire Foon came to
knock-'-' wn argument, and for a Bhor
time fists were used freely and sev
of the boys on both sides went to grass.
As in the game of base ball, tho Hood
River boys were victorious and gave
their piigiiistia visitors some beautiful
strawberry marks about the eyes to
carry home as souvenirs of the oc
casion."

where she had been. She said she

The youthful wanderer replied that
she was not hungry and that she had
eaten berries and the flesh of a dead
calf back among the trees. Tbe peo
ple, who bad by that time come up,
were aghast. By questioning her,
they learned where the carcass was to
be found, and by a short search, found
the body of a calf which had been
killed by coyotes. She had gotten
down and eaten the flesh and was not
sick from it. The people asked her
how it was that her face was not made
dirty while eating her strange meal.
She replied that sbe had washed her

ADVERTISING TBI NOBTHWEST.
David Fraser, the ' Transcontinental
-Trotter, Id The Dalles.
David Fraser, who left Aberdeen,
Wash., on July 4, to walk to Boston,
Mass., inside of 178 days for a wager of
$1,000, arrived in The Dalles Tuesday
evening, having tramped from Viento
that day, and spent Wednesday in the
city. Mr. Fraser is making a specialty
advertising the resources of the North
west, and especially bringing to tbe
notice of the world the lumbering in
terests of his own city, Aberdeen.
The provisions of the wager are that he
cover the distance of 3860 miles Inside
of 1"8 days; that he earn his own ex
penses on the trip by legitimate ad
vertising means; and that he shall
accept no assistance except for actual
services rendered.
He started from Aberdeen without a
dollar, has put up at the best hotels
wherever he has stopped, and thus far
has made bis journey profitable, hav
ing earned more than his actual ex-H
penses. From Aberdeen to .The
Dalles Mr. Fraser has averaged 32
miles a day, and expects to make an
average of 28 miles a day during the
entire journey. He is a bright, pleas
ant talker, 23 years of age, and pre
sents every appearance of an athlete.
His dress is simple and comfortable,
consisting of a black woolen sweater,
duck coat,' knee pants, plaid stockings
and heavy bob shoes. '
While here Mr. Fraser had a meet
ing with The Dalles Real Estate
Exchange, and will likely arrange
with the exchange to distribute the
pamphlet, "Resources of Wasco Coun
ty" along the route of his travels.
After completing his. journey Mr.
Fraser proposes writing a book de
scriptive of the incidents of his travels
and tbe country through which he
passes. ; .
That Fourth of July Hall Game.
The Hood River Glacier, in giving
an account of tbat unfortunate game
of ball between The Dalies' and Hood
River nines on July 4, tells as follows
how the scrap began and how tbe game
ended: .
"The game progressed finely until
the seventh inning, when the score
stood 11 to 13, with two of The Dalles
club on tbe bases and who afterwards
made home runs.; At this juncture
some of The Dalles boys took excep
tions to a ruling of tbe umpire,- which
was sustained by their own,' and a row
ensued. The' Dalles' bpys had evidently
Dull Outlook for Wool.
Joseph Hall, of Norwich, Con., owner
o? two trco'en mil's in that city, i in
The Dalles, having arrived Wednesday
from San Francisco, . where he" has
been buying wool tbe past month.
When asked by a Times-Mountain-eeE
reporter what the outlook or
wool was, Mr. Hall replied that there
was virtually none, nor did be believe
there would be any activity in the
wool market until the tariff was read
justed. Like all manufacturers, Mr.
Hall wants more duty on- imported
woolens. He declares American man
ufacturers must have more protection
to enable them to compete with Eng
lish factories, and until tis is given
he says they cannot offer higher prices
for wool. Shoddy, worth only three
dents a pound, he says enters largely
into many English fabrics, hence he
favors a heavy duty on shoddy cloth as
a protection both to the wool grower
and manufacturer.
Condition of Crops.
A month ago Wasco county had the
best prospect fur crops ever known
since the surrounding country was
converted from a grazing to a grain
growing country, but that condition
does not exist today. The hot weather
that has prevailed since the 23d of
June bas been . most detrimental to
late sown grain, and even fall wheat
has been more or less damaged. In
some - localities fall wheat was far
enough advanced that it was not
materially affected more than to shrivel
tbe berry, which will make the grain
light and of comparative poor quality,
though in other places the berry has
been almost ruined, and the grain will
be of little value except for feed.
Some spring grain was ust in bloom
when the hot weather came, and this
isreportedtohave withstood the heaUr"1- P1

damp land, has it is , believed, been
ruined. From the information at
hand it is safe to state the yield of
wheat this season will not be nearly so
great as that 01895, nor will .the.
quality be up-to the averaged

' If we arc right in our reasoning, and
if, again, there is not some latent but
fatal delect in Ilcrr Dowc's system, the
result on warfare will be a very re
markable one. Since the object of war
is to kill "to place hors dc combat" is
only a less crude way of putting the
fact new ways of killiTrr infantry and
cavalry will havo to be devised. The
chances of hitting men in the face at
long distances with rifle fire, says the
London Spectator, will not be good
enouffh. But tho only wavs'of kiUlna'
eirectivciy that will remain open will
be artillery firo, close combat with
boyonet and clubbed rifl5 preferably
ine latter, as the cuirass will make the
bayonet difficult to nse with effect
and ndin? men down by cavnlrv
cnarges. 'lhe first of thecc, artillery
fire, has hitherto been regarded as of
comparatively little importances in tho
matter ol killing, it is of ten declared,
indeed, that the chief effect produced
by tho guns is the moral effect. Though
not many ore killed, men do not like
to be within ranrre of artillery. Pos-
bibly, however, the effect of artillery
nre cotua do increased, in any case.
and since everythinj is relative, the
fact of the falling off of efficiency In
. rifle fire must increase the importance
oi artillery fire.
It is obvious, however, that the chief
effect of bullet-proof soldiers on the
circumstances of a battle would be to
increase enormously the amount of
hand-to-hand fighting". But hand-to-hand
fighting means an advantage to
the strongest and most athletic force.
Now it will be seen from the bare enu
meration of the changes which seem
likely to follow bullet-proof 6oldiers
that a great advantage will bo given to
England. Bullet-proof cuirasses will
give an advantage to the nation which
can only bring a small number of troops
into the field. ut that nation is Eng
land. It will increase the importance
of artillery. Uut this should be in
favor of England, for though we have
not the conscription, and so cannot get
men in largo quantities, we can manu
facture as many guns as we choose.
Next, the revival of close combat
ought to be la our favor, for English
men are certainly better at the rough-and-tumble
of close fighting than their
neighbors. Tho infantry ore naturally
more handy and more athletic, and the
cavalry ore, if not theoretically bet
ter, riders, more capable horsemen. An
Englishman is more likely to get his
horse to do the impossible than a
Frenchman or a German. If, then,
Herr. Down's invention enters the
region of practical warfare, the change
will be in England's favor. It will
ive . us a chance to escape being
pressed to the ground by hostile mil
lions. In the navy.no less than in the army;
the cuirass should be of enormous im
portance. ' During a sea fight a great
many things will want doing under a
storm of rifle fire, but will hardly be
done except in one of Herr Dowe's
jackets. A few bullet-proof 6allors
would be a godsend to a captain when
he was fighting his ship against heavy
odds. In the field, too, the cuirass
would be of great use to artillerymen.
Since they do not have to march, bu.t
either ride or sit on the gun carriages,

No one Was Chosen.
In an eastern town a good-looking,
well-to-do bachelor, having been
teased by the young ladies of a. club
for not being . married, said: '.'I'll
marry the one of you whom, on secret
vote, you elect to be my wife." There
were nine members of the club. Each
girl went into a corner and used great
caution in preparing her ballot and
disguising her handwriting. The re
suit of the vote was that' there were
nice ballots cast, each girl receiving
one. The man remains a bachelor,
the olub is broken up, and the girls are
all mortal enemies, united In the one
determination that they will not speak
to the man again.

What's the Blatter With Hanna.
'Mark Hanna Is scared by the free
silver cyclone. He now sees that It
will be foolish to attempt to drive off
tbe storm by high tariff talk. He said
a few days aso? "With thousands of
other good republicans McKinley reo
ognlzes the farce of the free sliver ar
guments. He will run on a gold plat
form adopted by the St. Louis conven
tion. He had.no other recourse. It
was simply the honest expression of
the representatives of an overwhelming
majority of republican voters through'
out the country."
The county clerk of Gilliam county
announces that hereafter he will be
unable to search records or do other
work outside of his routine duties
without compensation, on account of
the county court having, heeded the
demand of the people that the salary
of deputy clerk be abolished, leaving
him to do all the work of his office
alone.

very elaborately tore-
tected by means of Herr Dowe's patent
material. But if they are they will be
able to work their guns in tho open and
at close quarters in a way which b now
often impossible owing to he fire of
sharpshooters. In truth, . there are a
hundred points on which the bullet
proof clothing alters all the conditions
of war.' - It will niter, too,' some of the
conditions of civil life. Insurrection
against invulnerable men will become
even more impossible "than it is now.
Again, the result on small bodies of
men traveling in savage counties will
be very marked. ' When the savaxro

so brave ns the Matabeles will find re
sistance hopeless.
Possibly, however, all we have writ

Dowe's system, but for a totally diifsr
