CLAJiniaoEit. South Coos river, Or., Oct. 0, 1885. From a Local School Paper. They have started up at tho academy a local school paper, which is read every Friday afternoon, by the pupils. It is made up entirely of editorials, locals and contributions by tho scholars, and has for its aim their improvement in writing and composition. In tho num ber of tho 25th ult. appears a well-written article on the needs of our school, in so far as its furnituro and apparatus ate concerned. We quote this articlo en tire, to hJiow tlie importance that the scholars attach to the matter, nnd to suggest to "tho powers that be" that a littlo money devoted. to improving our 'school building and to more thoroughly equip it (or tho work it should do would bo money well spent, nnd, in the end, would repay itself moro than three-fold. Following is tho articlo in question : "Can wo claim that the Marshfield academy, 111 regard to the furnishing of the different departments, is a ciedit to tlio community? Any one who Iisb any acquaintance with tho school-rooms will nnswer, decidedly not. Any one whose fate it is to spend six hours a day in tho school-room, and tho greater part of that timo seated on benches that ore not of the softest material in tho world, and whoso backs have, for some unaccount- ablo reason, very strong objections to being leaned against, will hail with joy tho glorious future when the people of Marshfield will awaken to the fact that improvement in the furnituro of the school-room is absolutely necessary. The progress of our physical develop ment is retarded by the disadvantages we labor under, and our mental culture could certainly bo more safely insured if wo had all the necessary apparatus which belong to the school-room. No maps or charts arc to be seen upon the walls, and wo have no globes to illus trate or simplify tho study of geography. Tho partition which separates tho study room (rom tho recitation room of the higher department is quite a striking feature in tho foreground. The man who conceived tho idea of such a fortifi cation must havo been littlo less than a genius, to say tho least. But, neverthe less, with all duo respect to tho gentle man, whoever ho may havo been, wo cannot stretch our imagination sufil ciently to fancy that dividing wall equal to n half-dozen folding doors set in u eood solid partition. In tho course of timo such deficiencies may bo remedied, and wo sincerely hope the timo will be short when we can enlist tho people in our cause and securo their aid in ad' vancing our education and improving our school-room. Heads of families show tho best of judgment in tho matter of supplying evory comfort (or their live-stock. Nothing is lelt undone that will improve their cattle, their hoB and their horses. Why not show this same spirit in contributing to the mental and physical growth of their children?" Jus. Aiken's horso Sninmy Tilden won tho milo race, free for all, at the Lano county fair last Saturday. For this raco thoro woro four entries AiUon's Tilden of Coos county. Gate's Coalburn or and n horse called L'oury of Lano coun ty, and G. G, Glenn's Glenbrook of Marlon county. The last named horse did not start. Tho othor three did. Tildon was in the middle at tho start, but ho soon took tho uisldo and held it throughout tho raco. On tho homo stretch tho other horsos brushed him, but ho canio in an easy winner in 1 :58, Ho would havo dono much better if the othor horses hadn't boon so slow, " Somo man with n small capital could increase his wealth immonsoly by start ing a fruit canning establishment at any place on Coos bay or C00D river. TO TROT IN TWO MINUTES. An Expert on Trotting Horses Thinks This Time Will be Made. Pro(. Win. II. Brewer of Ynlo college has made the evolution of the American tiotttng hoo tho subject of much caro fill research nnd stndy. Prof, Brewer owns the most complete collection of ancient, and modern books relating to horse-flesh in all Its forms to to found in Now England. Yesterday tho pro fessor gave an interesting review of the progress of trotting in America. "It is not known exactly," ho said, "when horses began to trot against time. Englishmen had always run their horses, and had trained them for that. So the English horse is soldom, if over, put to tlio trot on trials of speed. It was in tho year 1800 that the New York Spectator made mention of a horo which had trotted a mile in 2 minutes and CO seconds, which at that timo was without precedent. Laws against horse races th'at is to say, running horses were in colonial times extremely sliit -gent. In the early part of this century they got around the laws against horse races by trotting their horses alone and timing their Bpecd by a watch. This was a purely American discovery. Af ter a while the horse laws woro so mod ified as to allow "trials ot speed," as they were termed, to be given at certain periods, of tho year with impunity. It was not until 1818 that the first trot for money was given, when Col. Boyd of Maryland bet Mat. Jones 01 .Long island $1000 that 'no horse could be produced that could trot a mile in less than three minutes.' Boston Blue was produced, and covered tho mile in just three min utes. This was held to be a wonderful feat in those times, and Boston Blue was taken to England and exhibited there. In 1825 the New York trotting club was organized and built a course at Jamaica, L. I., which was probably the fastest trotting track in tlie world. From that time trotting became a general sport and was adopted by the mass of the people who owned horses, and that very thing guaranteed iU progress. Tlie record in 1818 of Boston Blue, of three minutes, was broken in 1824 by Tom Gallant in 2 :40, in the same year by the Treadwell mare in" 2:34. In 1830 by Burster in 2:32, and in 1834 by Edwin Forrest in 2 :31J. It took nine years to lower tho lost record, which was done in 1843 by Lady Suffolk in 2:28, and in tho next year by the same horse in 2 :20. But it was left to Flora Temple to astonish the country when she made her celebrated time, 2U9l, in 1859. Flora Temple (rom that timo became a household word. Ladies wore Flora Temple bonnets, boys smoked Flora Temple cigars, politicians drank Flora Temple whisky. It is not probable that any one trotter will ever again create such enthusiasm. Her winnings were very large indeed. Then came Dexter, lowering tlio record twice before retiring from tho turf. Then Goldsmith, whose speed and fame arc said to have brought her owners a quarter of a million dol lars. Then Karus, St. Julien and Maud S., whoso recent performance of 2:08 stands before the world without an equal. "Thus, you perceive tho great lower ing of records sinco trotting was inaugu rated, in 1818. During the past decade records have steadily been lowered, and Bonner is authority for tlio statement that he expects Maud 8. will surpass her time of a day or tw o ago before the summor closes. It is my firm opinion, based on many years of deep study of the evolution of the trotting horse, that beforo another generation passes we shall hear of trotting horses who can make a mile under two minutes. Horses aro bred nowadays for tho single purpose of bringing out their trotting qualities, just as in England they aro bred solely with, reference to running. Now, if a lot of thoroughbred horses are bred within themselves, without admitting any mongol blood, and if they nro train ed solely for trotting, there is no ques tion that man can bring the record down to two minutes and under. "Robert Bonner, who owns Maud S., ridicules such an idea, and ho may think this an impossible result. I am aware, as he says, that trotting is an ac quired gait for a horse, and that running is his natural gait. But still my theory holds, and if tlie thoroughbred trotter is carried through one generation after another, we shall ono day seo a horso which can trot in two minutes." Wo havo hoard of gamblers dragging their sack, changing their seats, killing cats, cultinc and waxing cards, and do ing divers other things to change tlioir luck, but never until last week did we near of a gambler throwing his money into tho bay to bring him good luck. This Geo, Youngerman did. Georgo at tended tho (air ut Hall's prairio, whore ho mado somo uood winnings, but sinco his return his luck has been bad, and last week (28 was all he hud lo.tof (1500 that ho brought from the fair. This (28 hu throw into tho bay. and straightway hied himself to n barber shop and had his mustache shaved off. This last play was tho best one of tho two. If Georgo's mustache had boon black instead of blonde, ho could iiavo passed (or an Italian brigand while, ho wore it, but now ho is ono of tho most innocont-look-mg kids in town and his luck 1b again nrsi-rtuo. . Nels Munson has rebuilt tho houso he had burned at his ranch near Ten-mile lake sovoral weeks ago and Ida family aro now enjoying moro comfortable quarters than thoy had beloro the fire. If some man capable of making nnd marketing good elder would start Into that business hoio ho would make a small fortune beforo many othor people found out whut he was doing. Tho one sure way to havo good cows is to raise thorn yourself. Tho fat slock show to open at Port land next Monday promises to be a suc cess. Among tho stock (o be oxhibitcd will Iks n held of polled Angus cattle from Olympl.1, W.T., ono from Canada, a fine herd of HolsleiiiH, and A. H. Johnson's big steer of Portland. Thirt steer is a roan in color ; thrco-quartors Short-horn ; fivo years old nnd past, nnd weighfl over 3000 pounds, which Is 000 pounds heavier than the heaviest bul lock ever exhibited at Chicago. John sou has been offered $1500 (or the s,tcer. Ho declines to cell, and says ho intends to make the steer weigh 3200 by tho 20th of this month. Ho also intends to com pete for a (5000 prize offered by tho Chi cago (at stock show association (or a steer weighing 4000 pounds, which ho thinks his steer can bo made to do by judicious (ceding. David Holme?, who w as so mangled at McMinnvilIea (ew days ago by a runa way team, has recovered consciousness and is able to sit up in bed without tho aid of props. Doctors cowed up a three inch scalp wound on tho back of his head, splintered up his leg, which was broken near tho tinkle, and amputated his right hand at tlie wriijt. The injured man is able to get out of bed and walk, to the astonishment of everybody, but ono hone of the lower leg being broken. Ho says his body is "awful soro all over." Ho was dragged over three quarters of a mile under a low truck, over stones, a railroad track and bad crossings, at n break-neck speed, but his physiciana say ho will recover in a few weeks. Holmes is about 35 years of age. A (ew days since George Rodgers, a farmer living a fow miles from Indepen dence, Polk county, had a valuable pair of horses die under rather peculiar cir cumstances. It appears that llodgcrs had corned somo beef and after a whllo poured off the brine in order to put on somo newly made. Thinking it wrong to waste the salt in tho brino taken from the beef, he told his son to sprin kle it over the hay in a mow in the barn. This hay was afterward fed to tho horses and caused their death. The hay in tho mow is, of course, worthless, so that the experiment has been a very costly ono to Rodgcrs. Just why pickle from beef should kill the horses i3 difficult to un derstand. A tramp who was jailed al Corvallis a few days since for stealing a horso and cart made his escape in rather a singu lar manner. The bolt through which the heavy padlock on the outside of tlie door passed and was supposed to bo mado secure, fastened on tho inside with a heavy nut. He took a chair which was in the jail, broke it to pieces and took a piece of it and cut a Bquarc notch in it so as to fit around the head of the nut; by this means he screwed off the nut and punched tho bolt through tho door and walked out to again pester sheriffs, horsemen, etc. The Acme Electric Belt Leads the ran in perfection and price Remem ber, it is warranted to give full satisfaction.
