A noisy ('?) altercation occurred this
week at Sweet Home between two
deaf mutes, in which the sign lan
guage was carried a little too far for
the safety and comfort of one of the
combatants. The parties were given
hearing before Justice W'atkins, who
sent Mr. Krope to j.iil to await the
action of the grand jury. Mr. Krokc
gave ball and was released on Wednes
day. A g!d deal of Interest Is manifested
in the revival services now in progress
at the M. K. and V. P. churches. The
Hon. John H. Finch said in speaking
of revivals: 'lt has leen my experi

debts after a revival that were not
worth ten cents on the dollar iefore.

Montague must bo preparing for a

prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
going so far as to sav that Montague
retails his gesKis as low as they buy

The furnace of the Oregon Iron and
Steel Company of Oswego, turned oiit
last month 1421 tons of iron. Just
think of it. only one furnace in the
State of Oregon! A State like our own,
with mountains of ere, dependent
upon the Fast for our supply of this
ore, which ranks perhaps above gold
in point of utility. We would, not le
surprised to see some of our enterpris
ing citizens importing fuel and railriMid
ties iustead of drawing from our own
forests; it seems to be fashionable now
adays to use nothing but impoited
goods.
We ho-M4o see not a few brick blocks

to be a city, let a more substantial style
of buildings take the place of box and
batten, ami then people will see that
we have some faith in our town. A
careless, homely and inexpensive style
of buildings erected in an apologizing
sort of wav, will never is-get confi
dence in the stability and future

little in this case. Kveryle.ly gifted
with common sense knows that there
is no business without an element of
risk, not even farming. Agriculture
is regarded as a comparatively safe
business, and yet the farmer is placed
wholly at tiie mercy of climatic
changes in the growing of his crops,
and if fortunate enough to have a good
harvest he has still to content against
the depreciation of prices and the con

whereas in all other pursuits t lie re

gramme Wits 4 vocal duiite, followed
by a recitation by Mws Lillian Bruce;
entitled "Mono's Vat rs," which w;,s j
rendered with much feelirg and hie'
dramatic effect. No higher compli
ment colli. 1 have bet n paid to lie
young lady than the perfect silence
oliserveil by the h-.rge aiidi.'iiee. "S inj.
Low, Sweet Chariot," by the select
choir, was next on the progmni. Mrs.

Studies l-;iH-ution'' in a manner that
marked her as n fine elocutionist. A
song that reached m v In art was then
sung by Miss Grace Itiley in a manner
that brought down tli. house and for
liieh site received many compliments.
I'rof. Bronse.n, piesideitt of MeMinii
ville Cllegc, was then inti-iMhiced and
delivered a lecture on the work of
school teachers. He dwelt upon the
influence of teachers in tin' social and
political world and the great possibili
ties of their profession, end as rtrotiglv
condemned the too common practice
of men and women in all pt-of-ssiou..
who take up their work when the
should ho attending school. He dwelt
at some length upon the qualification,
both natural and acquired, for n sue-
ce-sltil teaclier, and gave, ntil' li vain- i
able iuforuuition on the details of'
school management. To those al.otit j
to adopt the profession, his advice will
prove particularly valuable. Afler the j
loctuie another piece of music was j
given by the choir. Prof, tiartand j
then took the fi-or and made a few j
well-chosen remarks. He was fob j
lowed by Profs Baib-y and Micheucr, j
and others. A m cling of the teachers j
to lake place at the school house Sa'- j
urdav alt cmooii was onnotmeeil and a
very iHteresting program was givin
out. The choir sang "Home, Swell
Home" as a gentle hint to the waiting j
audience, who did not seem to realise i
that the entertainment was over.
