MINER WAS WELL KNOWN
Owned Firet Que., tz Claim
Patented in Oregon.
Horace Worcester, the aged miner
who committed suicido hern recent lv
Is said to be a well known mining
man, and is said to have possessed
tho flrst claim ever patented in Ore
gon.
Tills claim is said to be located on
Granite Greek, not far from the
Magnolia, and was worked by Wor
cester, who employed an arrastre as
far back as the early '70s. A promi
nent Baker City mining man wrote
to Worcester shortly before the lat
ter ' death, asking him for terms on
tho projierty. He received a reply
that I'iOOO was the least it could be
purchased for, bat Worcester added
that he did not really care to part
with tho claim as it was yielding
him a comfortable Income, ni.d he
rather discouraged the sale.
Worcester was especially well known
among the pioneer miners of the state,
and by them was coririally liked.
Why he should commit suicide, is
more than any of them can tell. The
mine he left is said to be in a bad
state of neglect, as it lias been idlo
for a long time, and the workings
have fallen in. Portland Telegram.

COUNTY I INSTITUTE HELD
Josephine County Teachers
Gather in Grants Pass
Wednesday afternoon closed the
annual Teachers Institute of Jose
phine ciunty, the most successful
ever held in the county. The meet
ings were held iu the high school
rooms aud were well attended. The
evening lectures were held in the
opera house.
President Campbell of the State
University spoke Monday evening
on the snbject "A Period of Transi
tion" and Dr. Woods Hutchinson,
scrcetary of the Portland hoard of
health, sixike Tuesday evening on j
"Parallel of Child Life with the I
Kacc. " These lectures were both
intensely interesting util fairly well
attended. '
Th institute o.-tned Monday morn
ing with an enrollment of 47, win h
later was increased to 4'J. Thu meet
ings were oiH'iied by singing followed
by the interesting and instructive
discussion of methods in general by
W. II. Dempster, president of the
Drain Normal. Later followed instruc
tion on different subjects by Presi
dent Ci.mpbell of the State Univer
sity, Supt. Ackniinan and W. H.
Dempster.
President Campbell discussed very
ably the place and purpose of civics
iu thu common school and strongly
favored tho idea of current events in
connection with tho wora iu civics,
and its correlation with reading and
history. President Campbell in hi"
different discussions never failed to
please aud interest his hearers, and
all felt that they had received many
excellent thoughts and ideas which
they will carry with them into their
schools.
State Superintendent Ackcruian
took up various topics, among them
whs the discussion of the most difli
cult problem which confronts every
rural school teacher, "Tho number
of classes that should be given a place
on the school program." He made
the simplification and les-ening of
classes so clear and interesting t at
all will go out to their shcoo's much
better prepared to meet these di ffi
culties than before. He also date
With the practical side of everything
aud did not leave his hearers crammed
with theories and plans that uever
existed outside tho brains or books
of is'dagogicul cranks. President W.
II. Dempster dues uot beliero wholly
in the lecture plan, but rather prefers
class questioning and clu:.s recita
tion work. This method pots t' e
institute iu the form of a class in
school, the instructor, a teacher,
bringing out tho different topics of
interest by having the class do the
real work. Hy this method President
Dempster brings out excellent results
and tlxcs his efficiency as nu educator
on nn exccedinsly',higli plane.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson gave a very
excellent talk npou the sanitary con
ditions of the school room, and gave
very helpful suggestions regarding
the attention to he giveu to tho de
fects of children, such as deafness,
sight, etc., and called attention to
(lie fact that the dull child as con
sidered by teachers, was uot always
dull, but apiM'urcd so through some
physical defect, which might be easi
ly corrected, if tho defect were only
known.
('has. H. Jones, Kditor of the
"Oregon Teachers' Monthly" con
ducted the musical part of the pro
gram and succeeded iu making that
art of the institute u very decided
improvement over any previous meet
ing. Another decided improvement over
all other previous meetings was the
great interest showu by the number
of visitors present, including parents
and members of the s-'hool board.
SiiM'riiitciidctit L. Savage deserves
marked credit for his executive abili
ty mid wisdom iu the selection of
such uhlo instructors, us this meeting
lias proven to lx one of the most in
structive and entertaining ever held
