materially to tba success and interest of
tbe institute, as be is recognizsd as one
of the leading instructors of the North
west, and has brought tbe Weston
Normal to recognition as rivaling the
best institutions of learning iu our land,
with a full attendance eaoh J ear. Prof.
W. W. Sibray's lustruotion to the teaoh
ers, and this, bia new field of work, as
prinoipal of our schools, was a most im
portant consideration with those present,
and all agree that be ooma up to their
expectation, in its fullest sense, and feel
tbat the very best results with the
sohool will be the outcome of bis being
at tbe helui.
Following are the names of the teaob

Organization," bringing out a very in
teresting discuss. on by the teachers.
Prof. W. W. Sibray, tbe new prinoipal,
followed with a talk nn "Sohool Disci
pline," and the able manner iu which he
handled the subject made a decided
hit" with the teaobers, "!,
"Grouping," by Miss Pugh, whs tbe
subjeot opening tbe afternoon session.
Her excellent voice and thorough under
standing of her sutg -ct won the applause
of those present.
Aftrr rtoess Prof Reid talked on the
use ot tbe dictrjuary, and suggested
many wise Ideas, pointing out the im
portaoce of the diacritical markings.
On Friday morning the institute

present.
Prof. Reid, in opening (be dUoussioD
on "spelling," went btck bfty years
comparing tbe methods m vogue in the
"Ifttln ruil Bf.hn.il hmiQu" mttlt tli r.i na
eat, olaimiug that the rcsnlts iu tbat
branch were postr.bly hotter tbu tbau
today.
Prof. J. li Aokerm in intrudnced the
new course of study, which he lias de
oided npnn fur the sohools of Oregon.
Tbis nei course p1hcs all pupils, both
in city and country, oo tbe same footing,
and it red aces the work in each branch
to a minimum. Prof. Aokerman predicts
a great improvement, along educational
lines, and rhu tuaobers ulsi.-prediot that
ivith such ai hble and earnest leader
tbey will be able to do a great deal
better work than heretofore. Most of
the leading aobo ls throughout tbe state
bave already adopted this new course.
In the eveuing a very Interesting ses
sion was held at tne Christian church,

lation by Miss Pigh, was well raodarad.
A song, "Coming Turnngh the Rye,"
by Mrs. Nellie Slooum, aud piotnred iu
a pautomine by Miss Lillian Uisbee,
pimply "brought down tbe house."
1'ror. Aokerman dwelt at length on
"A Few Needs of Education," wbiob
embodied oapital Ideas all tbe way
through. Auoedotes of his personal ex
perieooe iu a desperate effort to reaoh
tbe various institutes on time were de
cidedly arouaing.
Tbe entertainment oonclnded with the
song "America."
Saturday morning's session opened

Had About 200 Fine Bocks Killed by
Dip-
ping In Montana.
R. T. Oox, who is in Montana band
ling some fine thoroughbred bucks for
J. E. mitb, bas written telliug about
tbe loss of about 200 of tbe bucks near
Billings. These buoks were taken up
to Montana to be sold, and were required
to be bandied accordiug to tbe legal
regulations of thats'ate. These require
ments are that, when a baud of sheep
are taken into Montana to remain, tbey
shall be dipped twioe, and tbeu be kept
under tbe quarantine authority of the
livestock iospeotor for a period of ninety
days, before Ibey may be ranged at will
or sold or need.
The Smith bucks were dipped accord
ing to tbe law, which provides tbat it
shall be done by the stock iospeotor
himself, or by bis deputies. The dip
used whs carbolio acid, and it wan made
too strong, witb tbs result that the buoks
died from the effects.
Livestock regulations in Montana are
extremely severe, and Ibe law is strictly
enforoed. There is no intimation in Mr.
Oox's letter as to where tbe blame lies.
The loss to Mr. Smith, however, la quite
considerable, for the bucks wero valua

BADLY DAMAGED.
The
Hay Crop Thronghoot the John
Day
Valley Seriously Injured.
The late rains throughout Eastern Or
egon did incalcuable damage to both the
hay and grain orops. Should tbe coming
winter prove an exceptionally hard one
the stookmen will suffer, as there will
not be sufficient hay to winter tbe cattle,
horses and sheep left on the ranges. "If,
however," says one of our most prosper
ous stook men, "tbe fall should be a late
one, the raius may prove benefioial
rather tbau detrimental lo stock on the
summer ranges, as it will give the grass
a chance to get a sufficient start to be of
material help to stook for some time to
oome."
From 12,000 to 15.000 tons ot bay are
cut eaoh year within a distance of fifty
miles along Ibe John Day, most ot wbiob
had been mown but not housed or
staoked when tbe recant heavy rains
oarue upon us. Some of it bad been
"shocked" and some lay on the ground
as it had been out. Were it not for tbe
heavy dews which ooour almost every
night tbe bay on tbe ground might have
b cbanoe to dry aud still be fairly good,
bat witb the wet ground and dew to
gether it becomes mouldy aud loses its
Dutritious qualities.
Tbe wild grass is not ao easily dam
aged as it is finer than the oultivated,
lies oloser together and "sheds" water
more readily. When properly sbuoked
the rain water does not penetrate it to
any great depth and as a result tbe loss
is comparatively slight.
Muob of the grain, not out, bus baen
"lodged," or laid over, aud is bard to
out, and a small percentage lost in this
way, besides the damage oooasioned by
the long continued and heavy rains.
All together tL is has been a bard year
on tbe farmer and stock raiser, and tbe
only ooosolation they have is tbe faot
tbat tbe souroity of commodities pro
duced by them will eonance the value of
eaoh. Tbe c 'nsumer, has no redress,
and must pay a good fat price tor tbe
produots ot tbe farm and range. Grant

United States Land Coiuuilssiouer Hermanu
Talks-Differs With Secretary Wilson.
Hon. Binger Hermann, Cnited States
land commissioner, who has been spend
ing bia vacation at bis borne in this state,
arrived in Portland Monday. He is on
bis way to Washington city, where he is
due Saturday night, says tbe Telegram.
He was a very busy man at Ibe Imper
ial all day. Many personal friends and
aoquaiutanoes oalled to see bim; then
there were business men who paid tbeir
respects, and tbe man witb a dull axe
was io evidence.
The genial commissioner entertained
all oomers as best be oonld, and managed
to send even those who ting politioal
favors away lookiug pleased.
"I would like to remain here longer,"
he said, "but those In charge of my
affairs at tbe oapitol expect me back
Saturday and I must leave here tomor
row iu order to reach there by that time.
"While at home on this trip I bave
been giving more than usual atteotion
to the aubji-ot of sheep grazing on tbe
titulur reserves in Ibis stale. I bave
studied this question for many years,
but in view of tbs position taken by the
secretary of agrioulture rsoeotly, I bave
given the matter still further oo eiders
tion, and I must say tbat I differ with
Secretary Wilson,
"Now, I am in favor of taking tbe
sheep off of tbe reservation io most local
ities. For instance, in New Mexico,
Arizona and other slates whsie it is very
dry, it is highly neoessary tbat tbs sheep
should be kept off, and they are. But
here in Oregon, where there is so niucli
rain, and where the forests are nearly
all of fir, there is no necessity for remov
ing the sheep. There is plenty of grass,
aud there is absolutely no danger of
sheep Injuring the growth of fir.
"Tbe latest statistics show that Oregon
is at the bead of the list iu the wool
business. Why should we oripple tbis
great industry by restricting tbe grazing
priviliges when snob restrictions oan
not possibly benefit tbe forests.
"The reports of the deputies who are
right io tbe forests and who see what is
going on, do not indicate that tbe sheep
is detrimetal in any way lo tbe forest or
to tbe young growth tbere.
"Now, I contend, as I have in tbe past
tbat so long s tbe sheep do not hurt the
reserves that they should be allowed to
graze tbere aud thus help to foster one
ot leading industries.
"It is possible to prevent any injury
whatever arising from sheep grszing on
tbe reserves. All that is necessary is lo
limit tbe number of sbeep allowed nn
them to so maoy head, and limit tbe
number of month in eaoh year that
sharp shall ruo at large.
''These, witb one or two other restric
tions, will be a safeguird against any
possible damage tbat oonld arise."

OREGON INDUSTKIAL, EXPOSITION.
Instructive and Entertaining, and will Show
the Produots of the Entire Northwest.
The Oregon Industrial Exposition,
which is to be held at Portland from
September 28th Ootober 28tb, is lo be
representative of tbe entire Northwest.
Tbe roduots of tbe Held, forest, farm,
faotory, orchard and miue will be put on
exhibition in an attractive manner, and
every state in tbe Paoifio Northwest will
be represented by its products, all of
wbiob will be plainly labeled, and will
speak louder than words for tbe locality
wbioh produced tbem.
Many travelers are visiting tbe North
west this season, and a full oolleotion of
the produots of the Northwest, oentrally
looated at Portland, gives them an op
portunity to see at a glauoe just what
tbia aection of the oountry can produoe,
and they carry away with tbem new
ideas of the natural resources of Ibis
rich region, and those ideas based on
aotual observation, result in making the
Northwest well known abroad, and
oause new people witb new oapital to
come here and looale and inorease tbe
population, and tbe wealth and the gen
eral production.
An exectuive committee of representa
tive business men oonduol tbe Oiegon
Industrial Exposition, and devote a great
deal of tbeir time to its details and suc
cessful management. The only compen
sation these enterprising men reoeive or
desire is the advancement of the North
west, and Ibe general good of all its
people. No mouey is made out of tbs
expraition. II takes considerable oaah
lo carry on such a great enterprise. As
a starter the business men of Portland
subeoribe about 812 000 in oash to meet
preliminary expenses. After all bills are
paid, this fund is returned to subscrib
ers, if it is iu the treasury. Otherwise a
ptoportion of it is returned. Tbe income
of the exposition is from admission fees,
wbiob are put down to 25o eaoh, and lOo
tor children. Of the thousands who at
tend, all agree that tbe entertainmeut
and instruction which they have received
is worth many times the prioe of admis
sion. The amusement and elevating
features of the exposition are never ne
gleoted, and all will admit tbat they ar
first olass. The committee pays out
$10 000 for the music and amusement
features alone.
Among tbe special features of tbis
year's exposition will be a reunion of all
of Oregon's veteran soldiers and sailors,
and a probable presentation ot a sword
to Captain Clark, ot tbe battleship Ore
goo. Tbe National Guard of Oregon
will bave exhibition competitive drills
for 870 cash prizes.
The amutenr photographers will be
enonursged lo place their best work on
exhibition,
and wjll be awarded 8150 Id ,
prizes.
Tbs railroad aud steamboat lines are
going to give special low rates during
tbe exposition so tbat thousands of
people may make special trips to Port
land between Sept. 28tb and Oct. 28th.
