.V New Country.
Tho Yaquina, which came in
lastWednesday night from an ex
ploring expedition, -brings news of
several isolatpd und self-sustaining
little" cotafiifirirticsSiHdepcB(lejTt
people who .are linng along the
Chehalis river" for a distance of
seventy miles. It is, we are in
formed, a virgin country, entirely
pastoral in its surroundings and
characteristics, and as remote from
the ordinary lines of travel and
communication as though it were
some lone island of the Pacific.
The land is of unequaled fertility,
the timber of sturdiest growth,
and the resources of the country
give promise, when developed, of
causing this section to be wealth'
and prosperous in an eminent de
gree. -'Tis now some fi e or six
years ago since a steamer first
wen; up the Chehalis. and we be
lieve the Yaquina is the largest
craft that ever visited those shores.
This vessel, which left "Astoria
about nine oays ago, made n brief
stay at Chehalis City at tho en
trance to Gray's Harbor, and then
went inland some sixty miles, find
ing a good channel and safe land
ings as far as she n ent; the cistern
limit was reached at Montesano,
where there is twenty feet of water
and an apparently safe channel
extending up far into the interior.
There are no buoys, nor anything
else to indicate the channel, but
soundings taken show no diiliculty
in navigating those waters. To
some of the dwellers in that sec
tion the sight of a steamer was a
new s'ensatioti; many of the young
er residents having never seen a
steamboat before. Though the
cost of running the Yaquina (she
having a crew of sixteen men) will
not at present justify an attempt
to build-up a ttrade with this sec
tion, yet it is certain that a smaller
schooner would make handsome
returns on the amount invested by
making regular trips up the river.
The people are mostly engaged in
farming, stock raising .and the pro
ducts of the dairy. By reason of
vicinage, location, and feasibility
of access, the trade of that country
of, the future belongs to Astoria,
and a little eiFort on the part of
those most interested can easily
secure it. 'Tis a country that will,
once opened up, increase in wealth
and population. " From Hoquiam,
along to Montesano, Sharon and
other places, is a stretch of land
that, when it becomes generally
known is open for settlers at the
government price of SI 25 an acre,
will shortly be taken up. The
pioneers now living there are but
as "tho first low rush of waves
where soon shall roll tho human
sea,"
"Some flowers of Eden we still
inherit, but the trail of the serpent
is over them all.' The Northern
Pacific railroad has a cinch on some
of tho finest of this fair domain,
and, having been granted "in
demnity lands" by act of Congress,
has secured thousands of acres in
alternate sections.
Justice before Generosity.
Oxi: great 6et back to the full
measure, of success to which our
public schools should attain is
caused by the desire to have pu
pils learn too much: to pay more j
regard to the capacity than the
lability. "Evcrv educational re
former," says the Chicago Times,
"desires to add something to tho
course of instruction pursued in
the public schools." Xo on e, ho w-
evpr, suggests the propriety of
taking anything out!" All "are ap
parently unconscious of the fact
that only 20 per cent of the pupils
in the public schools ever pass be
yond the primary grades, and
that only 1-J- per cent ever get be
yond the grammar grades. Fully
three-fourths of all the children
who enter tho public schools leave
before they have acquired any
thing but a rudimentary know
ledge of reading, spelling, writing

and arithmetic. It would bo well
for the persons ho desire to add
anything to the present course of
study to designate what they vt ould
leave out to make room for it.
Would they deny to poor children
the only opportunity most of them
will ever have to learn to read
easy words, to write their own
names and to reckon up their own
wages? It is absolutely necessary
to" curtail or omit altogether in
struction in reading, writing or
simple arithmetic in order to make
room for any now branch of study.
Devotiug the first forty minutes in
each day .to a. new studv would
amount to reducing the time now
given to practical branches at
least one-fifth, as the first morn
ing hour is worth much more than
any other in school work. As. a
large proportion of the pupils in
the primary grades attend school
but half tho day, one-third of all
their time would be spent in re
ceiving ethical instruction.

A Herald's special from Irk

Lieut. DeLong's party has been
traced to a definite locality on' the
west bank of the Lena. Engineer
Melville and Russians arc search
ing ardently. 1 am under positive
orders and will bear investigation.
Lieut. Chipps.' little boat has not
been seen since September.' A
gale doubtless swawmped her. If
she is not found before spring, I
will charter the steamer Lena and
search first between the river Olo

been an invalid since October last.
The Jeannette cnteiqd the ice near
Herald island, September C, 1879.
Uer forefoot was twisted from the
1st of January and we pumped for
IS months. The vessel drilled to
the northwest during 21 months
and she was crushed and sank on
June 12, 1881, in latitude 7C deg.
15 min. north, and Jongitudo 150,
20. She discovered Jeannette,
Henrietta and Bennett islands.
We made our .retreat over the ice
to near Siberia islands, and thence
in boats to the Lena delta. Engi
neer Melville was giren charge of
tho boat by DeLong, as I was
blind, nearty and intelligent help
was rendered by Russians and
everything possible is being done.
