There lias been iit Condon, Ihis wwk, h small army of teachers, Mine bonny and beautiful, other brawny antl brave, but all (Hits! with ear nest new) in their intelligent search after "more light" on the many intricacies and mys teries of their chosen profession. Many of them are in the spring time of life, fresh from the schools, filled with the ardor and enthusi asm of youth and eager to take their turn at the toilsome task of lifting the aspirations and lives of their fellows to a higher and nobler plane. In their chosen work, for which they have fitted and are still fitting themselves, did they but receive the support and encouragement to which they are entitled from the communities in which they live and labor, their power for good would bo past all reckoning; but in many instances their noble work of directing the unfolding soul in proper channels, of filling it with pure thoughts and lofty sentiments, is poorly paid and ungratefully re ceived. Too ofteu they are handi capped iu their work by the indifference of parents and the par simony of directors, and in many instances, for a compensation less thin that received by s'ueep-herd-ers or farm hands, they are expected to take charge of a cabin- full of cantankerous kids, and, mid surrounding? that would rain the patience of a eaiut and wreck the phys ique of an athlete, they are expected to make saints of the little demons, schol ar of the ignoramuses and re Sued and cultured darlings of the hoodlums. And the wonder is ttiat they succeed so often and so well. . Lift your hat to the teachers. Their power for good in this wicked old world will never be fully recognize! ; their re ward will only come in that better land, where bumptious boys and giggling girls cease from troubling, and the weary teacher will find rest. THE PORTAGE. The proposed convention of rep resentative men of Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, to meet at The Dalles some time during the coming autumn, having in view the awakening of public sentiment in favor of the speedy opening of the Columbia river to navigation, by means of a portage road around the rapids at Celilo, is a matter of prime impor tance to every interest and every individual in the terr i tor v above named. All agree that freight rates are too high on our products to tide water, and that the only way of reducing such rates lies in the opening of our great natural Bhipping way to unrestricted navi gat ion, and it would appear that all should likewise agree that the only way to accomplish the much desired end is by a mighty, united effort on the part of the people in terested. It seems to be a pretty well established fact that congress will not do anything towards opening the river in the immediate future, and if the people are to get relief it must be by some other means une or more private companies have been "figuring" on the propo sition for several years, but, as yet, they have done nothing beyond a little preliminary work and unless something is done soon along that line, the people who are most vital ly interested, should take the mat ter into their owu hands and build the portage road and establish line of boats on the upper and low er river themselves. It could be easily done. If every shipper and producer in the vast territory affected would enter a company and take stock in the proposition to the amonnt which they would save in freight in one or two years it would soon be accomplished and . t s . . mousanas ot dollars wmch are now paid out in excessive freight rates would remain in the pockets of the producers. Let every man and every newspaper in Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington and North Idaho take thiB matter u and agitate it and the solution of the question will be speedy. Let the convention be called. Let us begin to help ourselves. The more rain farmers in the threshing season. the more harvest mad and OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE. The Chicago Stock Uecord says: "Investigation at the stockyards in regard to the recent advances in the price of beef brought out the statement that never bnfnre in the history of the American cattle market has there been such a de mand for all kinds of meat as at the present time. The demand for export cattle is enormous... The statement is made that the prices of all cattle will bo higher nest ear than they are now, but in three years, when all the thous ands of feeders find their way into the market, there is likely to be a slump of from two to three cents. This year Kansas has 300,009 head of cattle, which is a record breaker for that state. The big ranches in Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, are sending cattle at present. Most benefitted by the increase in prices is the stock raiser. At present everything costs more alive than formerly, making it necessary for the pack- . it era to advance the price on au ressed meats. The prices quoted esterday to local butchers was 9 cents a pound for best straight beef in the whole carcass, and 15 cents pound for loins and ribs, when together in even sets. One lot of CO barrels of the latter was sold at 15 cents a pound. All other meats have been more or less affect- ed Prices have gone up in pork, mutton, veal and all dried and smoked meats." SHEEP OX FOREST RESERVES. Hon. Binger Hermann, commis sioner of the general land office, while in Portland recently, made the following statement of his views in regard to the grazing of sheep on the forest reserves: "I am in favor ot taking the sheep off the reserves in most local ities," he said. For instance, iu New Mexico, Arizona, and other states where it is very dry, it is highly necessary that the sheep should be kept off, and they are. But here in Oregon, where there is so much rain, and where the for ests are nearly all fir, there is no necessity for removing the sheep. There is plenty of grass, and there is absolutely no danger of sheep injuring the growth of fir. " The latest statistics show that Oregon is at the head of the list in L.

Why should we cripple this great industry by restricting the grazing privilege when such restriction cannot possi bly benefit the forests? "Tho reports of the deputies who are right in tho forests, and who sec what is g'ling on, do not indi cate that the sheep are detrimental in any way. to tho forest or to the young growth there. "Now, I contend, as I have in the past, that so long as the sheep do not harm the range, that they should be allowed to graze there and thus help to foster one of our leading industries. "It is possible to prevent any injury,-whatever arising from sheep grazing on the reserves. All that is necessary is to limit the number allowed on them to so many head, and limit the number of months in each year that the sheep shall be allowed to run at large on them." A GOOD SCGGitSrOX, The Dalles Times-Mountaineer, which, by the way, is one of the staunchest advocates of river im provement that comes to ' our exchange table, makes the follow ing excellent suggestion: "If the Central Construction & Navigation Company does not beg;n operations at once on their portage road, call a meeting to be held in The Dalles this fall, and instead of asking congress for an appropria tion, form a company, eacn one subscribing an amount equal to what he would save in freights in one year, build and equip a portage road, put a line of steamers on the upper river, bring your wheat to The Dalles, and the local trans portation company will see to moving it on down the river. By this rcethod the river can be open ed in less than a year, whereas if congress is depended upon it will be delayed nobody knows how long." That "wet season" in the Philip pines seems to be "slopping over" on this side of the Pacific and even "sloshing over" the Cascade range, The Philippine peace commis sion is to be dissolved.
