Tho pupils nro to Btudy there in tho earlier grades; they are to talk about them, and in tho advanced gradoa they are to bo made tho basis of composition work. It is especially urged that tho teachers show tho pupils how to correct their own errors instead of "doing this work for them. In tho first thrco grades tho pupils arc to study tho pictures, roproduco short stories told by tho teachor and correct their most common orrors in speaking. In tho intermediate grades they are to reproduco in writing short narratives, to memorize a certain amount of poetry and to write friendship and business loiters. Tho work in technical grammar is given in tho sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

Mrs. Sibert had some household goods stored there that were also destroyed. Mr. Miller has had a rather trying time for several years and this loss is felt. He put in three crops out at his Warm Springs place in the last three years and the grasshoppers destroyed them He finally quit and came to Burns to do team work and had been quite busy up to the disabling of his team. Friends havo ofTcrcd him a team and as soon as his burned horses do not require his attention he will again be at work. It was not learned whether Mr. Fenwick carried any insurance or not.

See to this and then, if there is any time, teach the other work offered in this course. Tho primary object of the study of physiology in our schools should be to teach an in telligent care of tho body." Teachers nro advised to return to the old recess of not less than 15 minutes during tho morning session and again in tho after noon, but it is -said that tho re cess will do no good unless tho teacher makes a supervision of tho playground a serious part of the day's work. Tho more simple facts of san itation are expected to bo taught. In speaking of this Mr. Alderman says that it is more valuable to the boy who expects to live in tho country to know that a wi'll should bo dug in a place where it will not receive tho drainage from tho barn or tho closet than to know tho exact number of muscles in tho body, Tho teach ers aro also advised to teach this work by example as well as by direct method. The schoolgro unds and tho outbuilding aro to bo cared fer: tho interior of tho buildings sliouh bo keep clean, and where tho buildings have no special ventilation system, every window is to bo provided with a window-board, so that .the child ren may have an abundance of fresh air. Tho courso in language 1ms special emphasis placed upon learning to uso'tho'best'formH of exprcBsionjjn.Uwriting and in speaking. SfAlllst of pictures, which aro'reproductions'of mas terpieces, is given for each so that the pupil completing the eight grade will understand tho roughly tho essential elements of a sentence. In civil government the work is confined to a study of the con stitutional convention and the Constitution itself. The work in history, reading, spelling,' geo graphy and writing is practically tho same as in tho old course of study. A modem course of, study in drawing is offered and ofio that will he very helpful to the teach ers. In this Mr. Alderman says: "In lato years there has been a wonderful change in tho teach ing of drawing. New methods have been devo'oped, methods which charm the child." In speaking of the value of this course Mr. Alderman says: "One of the worst tendencies of the age is towards dependence on others for amusement, the love of pleasures that cost. Pub lic school drawing should work against this; the search for beau ty in common things should be one of its avowed aims. Child ren have natural ability to appre ciate beauty in what they see. Through drawing this apprecia tion may be developed instead of being allowed to die away, and may take the place of the crav ing for less wholsome pleasures, WOULDN'T COME BACK Sheriff Richardson Finds Prough in California But Leaves Him PROMISED TO HELP BREAK JAIL Got Lorenzcn to. Make Affidavit Exonerating Him of Criminal Charge on Promise of Bringing Tools so Lnren.en Could Break Mail but Didn't Make Good. Sheriff Richardson is back from 'rough was arrested and dotain California whero he went to got ed nwaiting the arrest of the Burt I'rough, wanted hero as a other Lorenzcn, 'who so far has witness and being implicated in ovnded capture, though the killing of cattle. Ho found his man in San Jose but he refused to come and ns tho sheriir didn't have tho necessary papers to se cure requisition he came nacK without him. I'rough was held hero as a witness but was allow ed liberty and skipped out. He seems to have told some story to tho paper at San Jose from tho Sheriff has every hope of captur ing tho man within a short time but without this man the Sheriif has very little hope of returning with Prough, as ho will not re turn of his own free will and there aro no papers to authoriz ing his removal from this State. The SherilT thinks that his reason for not wishing to return following story which was clipi- is that he is afraid to face the ed from tho Mercury Sheriif A. K. Richardson of Harney County, Oregon, is in San Jose desirous of returning to Burns in company with Omie A. I'rough, better known to the Sheriif as "Burt" I'rough, who is wanted on a charge of shoot ing cattle maliciously and who is in-the County Jail here awaiting extradition. In an interview last evening the Sheriif gave a few alleged facts of tho case in which he des cribed the man as a splendid ac tor, at tho same time adding that his wife, who issupposed to have deserted him by running away, music, through i'rough says no is not. Which ever way it is tho Sher iif says will be satisfactory, in one way, as Oregon will have lost a man it can well afford to. Sheriif Richardson has known the man, ho says, ever since he first landed in Oregon, when he was first in trouble at Harney for killing a calf belonging to a rancher at whose ranch he stop ped with his child wife four years ago. In this caso when tho rancher heard that the man was starving and his wife, who was dressed in men's clothes, was suffering from exposure to with it man who lives at Lake 'cold, he refused to prosecute.

Other alleged details is, according to tho Sheriff, not' f Plough's history were related quite correct. 'I he truth of the by Richardson substantially as AUTINEE RACES. Those who attended the mati nee races last Sunday afternoon were treated to a surprise when two of tho best harness horses on tho courso were beaten by a "green one." Bill Hanlcy, Pro gress and John fl started in the mile and both the former went off their feet and the little horse won wilhout much effort. Mr. Johnson and Phil Smith "put up a job" on Harry Smith, who drove John G, intending to allow him a good lead almost tho en tire distance and then brush up and tako the race. They missed their calculations when their horses both broke. The same thing happened in the second heat besides Mr. Johnson lost a tire on tho stretch and had to pull up. The timo was '2:28 in each heat which is considered very good for tho little horse who hns only been worked for six weeks. There wero four starters in tho saddlo horso race which was won byBunynrd's horse. Just after they got away from the post one horse, ridden by Ira Davis, fell and it looked serious until tho dust cleared away and Ira was seen walking by his horso and not inirt oilier limn his nose bleeding. The colt race of half mile heats was taken by Chns Wilson's Wild Fire, the best timo for tho half being f :8(5. There will bo one more mati nee before fair week on Sept. !1. IOCAL.UALI. TEAM TO PRAIKII! The Burns baso ball team will go to Prairio City next week to participate in tho threo days tournament there on Aug. HI, Sept. 1 and 2. The boys state thero are purses to tho amount of $000 for tho Beries and thoy hopo to got somo of it. Wo havo a very good team and unless thero aro professional players present our boys 'stand n very good show. Thero is going to bo a danco tonight for tho benefit of tho local team to assist in defraying tho cxnenso of tho trip and noj doubt It will bo well attended, statement that ho gave the man an hour to obtain bail was deni ed. What the Sheriff did, it is alleged, was to allow Prough to proceed to the hotel whero his wife was and givo her the child that was with him when arrest ed, on his word of promise to re turn to the jail by 1 o.clock that dr.y. "I ought not to havo done this," said the Sheriif, "but thought the man would play tho game instead of pulling out thp way ho (lid, as I wanted to givo him a fair deal." Mrs. I'rough and her child, who remained behind when the man left, journeyed, to her par ents' homo in Cedervillc, from follews: They then went to Idaho and here the authorities compelled the man to marry tho girl, ns they found out that he had not pre viously married her. From Idaho they returned to Harney and dif ficulties again ensued this time with a cattle king named Ven ator, who they tried to bribo first by accusing him of killing a neighbor's teor, and, failing on this score, arranged to endtico tho man into Mrs. Prough'a room and carry out their dastardly work. This later ended in gun play, and tho Sheriff was called. The case camo into court and owing to complication, was which place Prough sent for hcr.tu.0W, ()Uti umi jrollirXi wi,0 to como to San Joes to him Tho trouble arose from tho kill ing of cattle, tho Sheriff Raid, in which two brothers by tho namo of Lorenzcn, for whom Prough was working, together with tho latter wero implicated, whom Prough said, killed tho cattle, ho having no hand in the killing. The case was in court and ono of tho brothers made an affidavit exonerating Prough from all! blamo in tho matter. Ho was sent to the penitentiary for 12 months and I'rough and tho other brother liberated. It then leaked out, it is said, that Prough had got tho convicted man to mnko tho affidavit on tho prom iso of assisting him to get out of jail by bringing him a hacksaw, placing a Winchester rifle, a pair of boots and overalls, a plug of chowing tobacco and nlso somo cartridges, under a box that was sot by tho wall of tho jail. I'rough, howovor, failed to do was chaiged with disturbing the peace, liberated. In the present case it is said by Lorenzcn that cattle wero killed for hides just because a certain beast looked good skinned and suitable for tho manufactory of "riatas" and according to tho Sheriff, Prough is tho guilty party, The Sheriff knows nothing of tho man who is supposed to havo gone off with the mans wife, but is nut at all surprised to hear the news. Sheriff' Richardson is awaiting instructions from tho District Attorney of Harney County. San Jose Mercury. INDUSTRIAL NO I ES. Portland Corespondent Those Oregon communities that had no delegates in attend ance at tho recent session of the Oregon Dovelopmont Lenguo at as ho had promised and Loren.en i Astoria sulfored a distinct loss, than gave tho gamo away and ' for tho meaty valuablo addresses and discussions would havo well repaid anyone fur the lime spent in attending. The leaguers got down to serious business; there was no froth nor wasted energy. From tho very first day, the convention was notable for the valuable addresses presented. Every one was full of sugges tions that will play an impor tant part in the future po licy of the League. Men of the greatest eminence in their var ious lines of activity were on tho program. James J. Hill, Theo dore B. Wilcox, Judge Robert S. Lovott, and other of like largo caliber where heard from, whilo the community boosters of the various sections camo prepared to get the most out of the meet ing by being on hand with good suggestions and new ideas. The slogan of the convention was "Get Together," along all the lines of co-operative pffort that promise to accomplish so much for the Northwest. The placing of now arrivals on tho soil, preparation for reaping tlfe benefits to follow the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Fran cisco in 1915, and Good Roads were some of the vital topics thoroughly discussed. La Gra nde will got the next convention and every live commercial organ ization in the state should look forward to it and have a bigger attendance next time. The Portland Commercial club is making efforts to have Presi dent Taf t include Oregon in his Western trin this year when he comes to the Coast to break ground for tho Panama-Pacific Exposition. An invitation was sent to him by wire to this effect and he replied he would givo the matter consideration when his itinerary is made up. The value of experimental farms to this state is shown in a striking way by the results at tained by the station in Moro County, maintained by the Ore gon Agricultural College. Wheat grown on this farm by Scientific dry farming mothods went 22.0 bushels per acre, whilo grain on adjoining land, farmed under the old way, was either too poor to cut or yielded only ten or twelve bushels an acres. Other crops grown show a correspond ing gain when treated scientifi cally. Medford will givo the use of 1500 acres of land to a capable stockman who will raise goats. Tho Southern Oregon city wants to build up that district as a goat center, for it is well adap ted to these sturdy animals that aro so valuable in clearing up brush land and making il ready for orchards. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas the Surpremo Grand Master of tho Universe, has call-i ed our beloved brother Dayi'd M. Loggan from a life of toil and trouble to that Grand Lodge abovo where all is peace and eternal rest, and by his death this lodge has lost a worthy, ac tivo and charitable member; his family a devoted and loving bro ther, tho community a useful and law-abiding citizen. Therefore bo it resolved, that whilo wo sorrowfully do so. we bow with roverenco to tho will of Him who doeth all things well, and who in His infinite wisdom, this afilict us. Resolved that our sympathy is extended to tho bereaved family in this hour of aflliction and sor row, that they be furnished a copy of these resolutions, the same spread upon tho records of the lodge, also furnished tho lo cal papers for publication and that tho lodge bo draped in mourning for thirty days.
