Superintendent Pee Wes is in receipt of several inquiries la regard to the employment of assistant teacher in schools. Some school direct ors have labored under tbe impression that it is not necessary lor an assistant teacher to hold a certificate. Reference to tbe school law will show that the pen alty for employing any teacher, whether principal or assistant, who does not bold a proper certificate, is forfeiture of the district's school money. ... .In Marion coanty there are 109 public school rooms, and in 103 of these school has been taught daring tbe past three months, employing as many teachers. On the Tuesday before Christmas, it is safe to say that three fourths of these will be oat of employment, and not be able to teach again before tbe spring terms of school open Superintendent Peebles has daring the past two months visited in person every school district in the ceunty, except two a joint district on tbe Hantiam, and one in the Pettyjohn neighborhood. He has made recently short visits to the Salem schools, bat next week he will go the rounds more borough ly. The Cai'kk Discovered. For a long period some unknown reason has made the state house a very unhealthy place, and the different state officials and era ployees have in tarn been afflicted with more or less sickness of a more or less serious nature. Many surmises as to the reason of the sickliness of the location ,un- tioobtedly ascnbable to some local cause. have been made and efforts made to dis cover the source of the evil. It has finally been discovered that it was caused by a pile of two os three tons of rotting lumber in tne basement of the building, together with tbe gas escaping through tne cracxeu terra cotta sewer pipes. The work of removal of the lumber and re placement of the pipes was yesterday be gun, and it is believed that the atmos phere of the state bonne will soon be re stored to its normal condition. Circi'lars Ishl ed. Yesterday A. F. Miller, secretary of the old State Aeri cultural Society, forwarded ro the board of managers and life members thereof circulars aaking their consent to the prop osition to tarn over tbe property of the Hociety to the new state agricultural board on condition that the latter assamo tne liabilities and continue to hold fairs annually. The circular recites that on September 17, 1884,lhe old society passed a resolution authorizing the officers to so licit aid or (litinrMA nf the nmmrii sritH - ' - w--v wj , ' the condition above stated, and that over- tures were made to the new board with that end in view. Serretarv Miller ku inaued the circular in accordance with tne agreement reacbed at tne attempted meeting of the old society last week. CONTRACTS THROWN TP. Contractor Hnnt and Bennett Cease Operation on. the Oregon Pa cific The Reason. Contractors J. W. Hunt and Nelson Eennett have quit work on tbe Oregon Pacific railroad, discharged the men em ployed by them, and annulled and re scinded their contracts with the company. Mr. Dennett had a contract for the forty miles cast of Albany, and Mr. Hunt the next fifty. The contractors claim that they were forced to take this action because of tbe company's non-fulfillment of their part of the contracts, in that they failed to furnixh estimates of the amount of work done under the contracts. The engineer, A. E. Shenk, they say gave in only a part of the estimates, and tbe company did not pay them even for the work shown by his estimates. Mr. Hunt has not received any money for nearly four months' work, and says he could get no satisfaction as to when he would get an v. Neither Mr. Hunt nor Mr. Bennett will make any statement as to tbe extent of their claims against the O. P. company and as to the course they intend to pursue in the matter. Mr. Bennett has practi cally finished grading thirty miles of his contract, has furnished timber, piles and iron for bridges and trestles. Mr. Hunt has graded about fifteen miles, but he has been at enorraoos ex pense in getting stores and supplies along the line of his contract, and building warehouses, powder houses and quarters for bis men. AU the stores and material had to be hauled long distances into the mountains. Both Mr. Hnnt and Mr. Bennett have a big lot of supplies on the summit of the Cascades. Men must be employed to take care of these all winter and it will cost a great deal to cart them out in the spring. Rumors f the difference between the contractors and the O. P. officials have been prevalent for some time, and when Mr. Hunt went up on the extension, last week, to pay off, it was expected that he might discharge his men. but no one thought the trouble would result in so serious a complication. It is yet believed that an amicable adjustment of the matter may be reached, for the Oregon Pacific, though never having had the reputation of being prompt in its pay ments, has aiways finally made equitable settlements of Us obligations. It is greatly to tbe credit of Messrs. Hunt and Bennett that tbey did not make the com pany's failure to settle with them a pre text of discharging their men without first paying them off. Says the Oregonian: "These gentle men were induced to take contracts from the company under the most poxitive as surances that Hm had $2,000,000 in their treasury and were backed by a syndicate with a,rti0.000 more available at any . time. The company further represented that they had 100 miles of sfel rails in San Francisco. On being closely ques tioned as to why the rails were not de livered on the road, it was said that the company were negotiating with the de partment at Washington to have the rails entered to the port f Yaquina instead of San Francisco. The contract ors say the rompany have .furnished enough rails for ten mile by using a lot of short lengths, and this appears to be ail the rail, the, have. There iTsaid to heinore rails in San Francisco, but they j crT Lt nly 1D but An Aceonnt of the Disaster to tbe Ya- qnina City, Given by the 5ew-?-; port News. '-;. Accounts of the wreck of the steamship Yaquina heretofore received have been meager and unsatisfactory. The fol low- lowing from the Newport News will throw much additional light npon the subject: It was one week ago yesterday that the unfortunate steamship Yaquina City went ashore on South beach, during the fierce gale that raged on that day. . From the moment she. struck, it was said by old captains and other nautical men that her case was hopeless and she was dooomed to break to pieces in tbe heavy surf; and their judgment has proved to be correct, notwithstanding the hopes that were clung to by her owners or agents that she might be hauled off in safety. As to the cause of tbe disaster we will not venture an opinion. It was reported at the time, as published in the last issue of the News that her steering gear gave away and thus rendered her helpless. Why she was not in tow by the tug at the time we have not been informed. At all events the accident happened, which was very unfortunate for all concerned. As was stated last week the passengers, their personal bag gage and the express were all landed safe and sound. But several days elapsed before her cargo was unloaded, a worx mat even vet is not completed. From Iter position on the sands it was evident the high tides which are now running would wash out from beneath her and cause her to break in two. Her straining attitude could be noticed sever al days ago, and on Sunday night she parted amidships and began to settle fore and aft. Her bow is now nine feet in the sand, and her stem much lower, and a huge fizzure, some two feet in width at tbe top, runs from her bulwarks at tbe water line. It is probable that every thing of value can be removed, unless it be her machinery, which owing to its immense weight would be very difficult to handle. As to the cost cf the vessel we have not been able to learn, though it is sup posed it will approximate some $200,000. Neither can we learn the amount of her insurance. Much of her cargo is badly damaged, a loss which will fall quite heavily on the merchants of Newport, as nearly all of them, had large or small or ders on board. The scenes about the wreck at low tide are quite lively and animated. Teams are basil j engaged in hauling away her cargo to a place of safety, and large num bers of visitors are looking on strolling about in search of mementoes from the wreck ; portions of which may be found scattered along tbe beach lor a distance of half a mile. In conclusion we wish to state plainly that the vessel did not strike at all on the bar, but passed over safely and was on the inside in some seven or eight fathoms of water when the accident occurred.

Application for Remission. Applica tion has been made to the secretary of the treasury for a remission of (he pen alty in the case of Capt. Chatterton of tne steamer Tressa May, convicted of carrying more passengers than the law allowed, on two occasions, and- fined $1000. It is probable, from what is Known in regard to the matter, that the application will be favorably considered, and that the greater portion of the fine will be remitted. 0VERLAXD TO CALIFORNIA. Letter From Mrs. England Stage Ride From Ashland to Siskiyou 1ft. Shasta. Sasta Barbara, Dec. 12, 1887. Ed. Statesman : Thinking perhaps a few words descriptive of the journey from Salem, Oregon, to Santa Barbara, Cal., would not be amiss, I take the liberty of writing this letter. From Salem to San Francisco there was nothing of spedal interest, if we except the stage ride from Ashland to Siskiyou, which is at the end of the thirteen mile ride. The day tiefore we crossed there had been a light fall of snow, and there was still some snow fall ing. The road is level and in very good condition for mountain road: neverthe less it takes five hours to make tbe thir teen miles. The reason it takes so long a time is because it is a gradual and often times steep ascent the entire way, with the exception of a few hundred yards which are a plunge downward. The mountains were erand, with the dark evergreen trees hanging heavily laden with the ir soft, fleecy, clinging burdens of newly fallen snow. We were warm and comfortable inside the coaches, and I think I never saw a merrier or better natured party than we were. Instead of its being a hardship to cross the moun tains in the snow, 1 shall always remem ber it as one of the pieasantest ndes I ever took. They did certainly have fine, Btrong, well-kept horses to draw us, and. as there were six horses to each coach, and although were packed in sardine like (there being eighteen persons in and on each coach) yet we were jolly and every body seemed nappy. e stopped at the Siskiyou House for dinner.and a wretched meal was served. Some one reading the sign over the door asked what the word Siskiyou meant, when some one else re plied, thinking more of our indifferent dinner than tbe real interpretation of the word, that it was the Indian for bobtail. To this interpretation I believe every one felt like giving a hearty Amen! But now we were soon in the cars, shot through a long tunnel, and riding through the wild winter scenery of the grand old mountains, prominent above which stands the Pilot Rock, which appears, stately, grand and majestic, first on one side of the car windows and then on tbe other as we wind in and out of the ra vines. But by far the most inspiring siifht in these majestic mountains is Mount Shas ta, the grandly beautiful. Who can des cribe this boarr monarch of the mount ains aa he deserves, especially when just reclothed with tbe ermine of snow which the king of winter weaves and drapes about his mighty form ? Words are powerless to tell how grandly beauti ful and vast he seems as we draw nearer, and nearer until we are within three miles of this king of mountains. It has been snowing until in the afternoon, and Shasta is recrowned by another and greater king than he the king of the day. A purple cloud just crowned its highest peak, while all the body of the mountain was perfectly clear and bright with an indescribable glow of beauty. The rays of light shown through the cloud until it seemed that iust hidden by the airy drapery of cloud-mist there must be a giant angel form pouring gold en fire and rosy light upen the mountain top from from some shining censer, and it seemed to ieap far down the mountain sides like streams of gold, and fill the deeo ravines with purple and rose-colored light. Then, there seemed to he a strange and indescribable glow, that I had never seen before, as if that vast and awful pile was illuminated from within with wonderful many colored lights. One can not imagine how grand great mountains are unless they are near them after the first fall of snow and view them in the brilliant sunset's slow. As we glided almost spirit-like past it all in warm and comfortable cars, I thought how different the picture must seem to us than what it did to those eariv pion eers who toiled and struggled over these ragged steeps and through these deep ravines. But I have dwelt so long noon the beauties pf Mount Shasta that for tear l nave weaned the reader beyond all patience I abkll defer all attemrka of a diseription of Los Angelesl and the Eden of Santa Barbara until a future time. Ouve S. Esglaxd. Sr. Sash Makes a Reply to the State ments of the Contractors Hunt and Bennett. : Mr. Wsllis Nash has telegraphed to the Oregon ian a sweeping, though general, answer to the statements made by Con tractors Hunt and Bennett in regard to the differences between them which led to the throwing np of the contracts by these gentlemen. Mr. Nash states that the company was grossly misrepresented by them, and that the strict honesty and straightforwardness' which characterized A. A. Shenck, the engineer in tbe per formance of his duties under their con tracts, undeterred by threats, bullying or cajolery, was what caused the displeasure of Messrs. Hunt and Bennett. Mr. Nash asserts that the Oregon Pacific always pays in full and with interest every legi timate claim, and it knows how to protect itself against unjust demands, whether attempted to be enforced by proceedings in court, by arbitration, or by premature appeals to public opinion by garbled statements in the newspapers, lie de clines to discuss further tbe merits of tbe case, as it will be settled in . due time in the courts. But be sdds ; "It is amusing, however, to notice these gentlemen bringing up the question of the quantity of rails belonging to the company, and mistaking (to use a mild word), every single fact or figure con nected with the whole transaction. That the company have left now in San Fran' cisco in bond and at their absolute dis posal, rails for 120 miles of track, and that tbey have brought up from San Francisco, through Yaquina into Oregon, twenty-five miles of rails this season, are matters of public proof awl notoriety. that Mr. Bennett was so far behind with his grade that it was useless to get np more rails to he piled all winter, is a matter be forgot to mention, although that also will be proved to his satisfac tion before he is through. Both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Hunt may also find it an expensive amusement to sign con tracts which serve to keep other contract or out of the field, and by delays, natural or artificial, expend the whole season in doing less than what they un dertake to do in three months ; and then, having done the company they contract with this harm, attempted to annul their own agreements and pose before the pub lic of Oregon as innocent and injured men. Such matters find their solution in courts of law. "But men of honor, whether railroad contractors or not, do not attempt to re venge their supposed wrongs from a com pany by slandering professional officers, whose characters are their all, as 'incom petent, unscrupulous, and willing tools.' " .Mr. asa closes with the assertion that the company will pay all just de mands in tbe future as it has in tbe past. Ihe reply of Mr. Nash places a differ ent light on the controversy, and the people of the Willamette valley, who have faith in the Oregon Pacific's future. and ability to meet just demands, will be inclined to side with him nntil the trou ble is settled. No announcement as to the intentions of tbe company in regard to the continuance of work cn the ex tension has been made, but undoubtedly in the spring the wcrk will again be taken np and prosecuted with diligence. Will Shit Down. The Capital Lum bering company's mill, which has been running almost continuously since last May. giving employment to about thirty men, will shut down next week for the winter. The mill has during the past season sawed about 3,500,000 feet of lumber, which hanbeen utilized in build ing and improvements in and about Sa lem. It will start up probably in three months. Fot'R Vagrants. The harvest of va grants is in full blast. Yesterday in Recorder Stnckler's temple of justice , four tramps, who gave their names as James Murphy, Win. Ranger, Wm. Fields, and Felix de Smythe, were ar raigned before Recorder Strickler on charges of vagrancy. They were given fifteen days each in the county jail. CoNvicrxn. Tbe trial of the China men, Chee Gcng and Fong .Long Dick, the Portland Chinese murderers, ended Thursday afternoon at 3:10, when the case was given to the jury. At 4:10 the jury returned a verdict of guilty of mur der in the first degree. Card or Thases. Mr. J. C.

About thirty of the friends and patrons of the school were present, bringing with them a bountiful supply of provisions. A table was spread and all the little folks partook of a sump tuous least,' alter wnicn tne audience were entertained during the afternoon by essays, declamations, dialogues, songs, etc . in which the entire - school partici pated, from the oldest scholar down to the "wee tot" of four. The friends and patrons of the school were unanimous in voting tbe whole programme a complete success, and felt that too much praise could not be bestowed both upon teacher and scholars tor the eood order main tained, and the evidence shown of patient application, and thorough drill. Below will be found a list showing the names and general average of the pupils in study and deportment : Murdoch McLeod, 97 ; Freddy Dragor, J12, ; John Tanner, 91 ; Elmer Tanner, 85; Albert Bell, 85?3 ; Winnie Dragor, 84,'; Samuel Seiwert, 83 7-9; AlbertSeiwert,83a; Donald Mc Leod, 82; Georue Drager, 81,'; Edith naiiey, ku; iiuidab ."Seiwert, 81 ?3 ; Anna McLeod, 773 ; Flov Hallev, 7oi ; Agnes Bresler, 75 1-6.

Worthington, of Sheridan, Yam hill county, looked too loud on the wine when it was red, and as a consequence got full as a goose. While in this hilar ious condition he took it into his head that he ought to make a sieve out of his wife and with his revolver be blazed away at her three or four times with this object in view. Luckily his hand was very unsteady and no shot struck the lady. Tbe shooting created considerable excitement in Sheridan. Mrs. Worth ington and her husband had tbe matter hushed up the next day, and particulars were hard to get. Worthington is in the grocery business, and is addicted to vio lent outbursts of temper , this being, it is said, the second time he has shot at - his wife. If he reports this splendid exhibi tion of manhood again, the chances are he will wind np where he belongs be hind the bars. Thb First Trip. The new Oregon Pa cific steamer Wm. M. Hoag arrived up the river last night, on herj first trip up tbe Willamette. The lloag started from Portland yesterday noon, and met with one or two minor accidents to her ma chinery which delayed her arrival here. rbe is all right now, and will soon be in good working order to carry the broom over all the boats on the Willamette. The Hoag, which was described at large in thin aper about a month since, is more handsomely furnished than her sister craft, and is fleeter. She lay over here last night. Her officers are: Geo. Kaabe, captain; Bert Hatch, mate; A. McCully, chief engineer: Ben Speakes. 2d engineer; II. Cronise, purser; Frank J. Smith, Bteward. Committed to the Asylum. By last night's train arrived in the city Wm. Dart and K. Dougherty, having in charge a brother of the former, by name Samuel Dart, whom they desired' to have exam ined for commitment to the asylum. Dart is a farmer and a resident of Molalla Corners, about 20 miles east of Oreeon City. From tbe effects of a re cent illness he became of unsound mind, and is at times violent. The county judge of Clackamas, W. L. White, being absent at tne last spike ceremo nies. Dart was brought to this countv. Judge Shaw, District Attorney Belt, and Doctors Holmes and Kmith were sum moned, and after an examination Dart was ordered committed to the asylum. He is a married man, and about thirty five years of age. Started Up. The Salem Flouring mills, which have been shut down for the past week on account of high water, were enabled to start up again yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock, and will now run until high water again interferes or the season clobes. The river was last night about 7 feet above low water mark and UII fall ing. Tbe Oregon Pacific boats have re sumed operations on the river according to schedule, and the O. R. & N. boats are also running. A Swijidle. One J. C. Johns has been doing Albany and vicinity, representing himself as an agent of Hubert Howe Bancroft History company of San Fran cisco, ami has bilked many people by taking orders for their works, receiving the money therefor. Tbe books of course will never be sent. If Johns can be ar rested the company promises to put htm where he will not be able to swindle any body for some time to come. Arrived at Honolulu. The Oreiron- ian of yesterday announced the arrival in Portland of a vessel from Honolulu, the captain of which reports the arrival in that port on the 23d of November of the bark Coloma, on her way to Japan and China.
