Facts Furnished by the Superintendent. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. Estimated Value of School Bousss Tho Average Tax Le7j Enrroit Oiir.oo.v Scout : The following comparisons of figures will prove interesting to those of your leadeis who are interested in the wel fare of our public school system. They are taken from my annual report to tho .Superintendent of Public In struction. Tho number of persons in Union county between tho nges of -1 and 20 drawing public money during tho school year ending March 188'J was .1,10:J, during tho year ending Mnrch 1890 was 3,805. The number enrolled in the public schools in 1888-89 was 2,288, in 18S9-90 was 2,r)GG. Tho number attending under six years of ago in 18S8-89 was !)8, in 188IMI0 was 202. Tho average daily attend ance throughout tho county in 1888-39 was 1,570, in 1889-90 was 1,752. During the school year of 1888-S9 about 08 teachers were employed in teaching our public schools, receiving as compensut on for their labor the sum of '?I8,l!i0,'i5; during the year 18&9-U0 about 75 teachers were em ployed icceiving $20,17'! ,51. For the year 1888-S9 tlio number of teaeheis holding first grade certificates was 9 males and 9 females; holding second grade, 11 males and 18 females; hold ing third grade, 7 males and (5 females. For tho year onding 1889-90 thu num ber holding first grade certificates was, 15 males and l.'l females; holding second grade, 12 males and 11 females ; holding third grade, 5 males and 11 females. Tho estimated value of school houses and grounds for 1888-89 was fllm-l, and for 1889-90 was .'0.12S,.15. The estimated value of apparatus, maps, globes, charts, etc, was for 1888-89 100, and for 1SS9-90 was $ 1,251. 20. The wholo amount of insurance on school houses for 1883-89 was $ 1 1 ,5090, and for 1889-90 was !?1 -1,900. Thero are six graded schools in the county, employing eighteen teaeheis and attended by 9117 pupils. AW districts in tho county are sup plied with suitable recoid books. Tho total number of districts iu tho county is 02, 20 of which arc supplied with Webster's Unabridged dictionaries us compared with seven for thu preceed ing year. The average levy in districts voting taxes iu 1888-S9 was 5 mills and in 1SS9-90 was 8.1 mills. Tho amount raised by district tax for 1888-S9 was 2901.85, and for 1889-90 was $9,905. l!l. Tho amount of the county school fund for 1889-00 was not so largo as for 1S88-89 owing to t'ui fact that the assessment of property in the county for 1889 did not, increase so much proportionately over tho previous year as did the number of peivons. be tween thu ages of l and 20 drawing public money. Tho total receipts for 1SS8-S9 were !?20,U)7.9:i, and for J 889-90 were $11, 0O;,.O2. The amount paid for school furniture for '88-89 was 1?1 lO.IH), and for '89-90 was :? 1,32 1. 2-1. The amount paid for building school houses for '88-89 was if (i 1(5.0.'), and for 'SO-90 was ff2,52(i.fl5. Tho total amount paid out for 'SS-S9 was $22,51.1.05 and for '89-90 was.'f2S,900.51. Tho amount of tho county school fund now iu the hands of tho county tteasurer is somothing near thu satuo as distributed last year and as there aro 1(52 porsons butwoeu thu ages of -1 and 20 more this year than there were last tho apportionment per eapitn will nuueessarily be smaller. lly a careful study of tho above figures it will bo found that our public schools for tho year last passed have made an advancement of which wo all should fool justly proud. .1.

Often have the remarks been made about our town and city business men. It is a great enor and u sad mistake for farmers and others to bo led into the notion that the business men in their town are their enemies, or that they are reaping groat profit. As iv matter of fact tho average merchant finds it pretty hard squeezing to get along, pay his bills, and pay his help. Yet, many a customer has been helped over a. tight place by being furnished goods on time till tho crops came in. When a subscription paper is started to build roads or help the unfortunate man who has been burned out, it soon finds its way to town. Xow suppose you close up every store in town but one, how much would it improve the valuo, of your farm? What would it benefit the fanners if all competition were done away with? The fact is, the inter ests of tho farmers and business men aro identical and ho who attempts to prejudice one against tho other is a disturber of tho confidence) that should bo mutual between all honest men. Homo. A CASE DECIDED. Judge Foe Docldss for tha Plaintiff in tho Caco or Geo. Ilahn vs. Baker City Lodge A. F. & A. M. Tho ease of Geo. Hahn vs. the llaker City Lodge, A. F. it A. M., taken un der udvifceinent by .ludge .las. A. Fee, was decided last evening in favor of the plaint ill". Tho ease is of some in teiest. It appears that thu property iu disputu, fifty feet, front, in Baker City, with a building thereon, was sold to (ico. Hahn, a commercial man, but that only tho lower story of tho building was included iu the trans action, tho upper story being sold to the defendants in the case. Tho build ing burned down in the recent lire and I lahn contended that all tho inteiest of the lodge in tho building or property was destroyed by the conflagration, and brought suit" to establish his sole title to tlio property. The Lodge contended, as a portion of tlio walls were standing, that Hahn was obliged to restore his portion of the building in order that thoy could rebuild tlio up per story, owned by them before tho lire. The case was argued in Cham bers not long ago, and decided as stated. It will probably bo appealed. Hast Oregonian.
