Joseph Dysert s placer mine at the
mouth of Jack's creek is proving of ex
ceeding richness, Bays the Grants Pass
Courier. He is now piping on sotue
very red earth, and the coarse gold

from $2.50 to $10. All that rich red
farming land on Jump-Off-Joe and
vicinity will eventually have to go be
fore the pipe and giant of the gold
digger. The Waldo placers are in the
same pay streak. It is unfortunate
that the best farming lands are also on

no mischief, and requested the privi
lege of being allowed to sleep in the
city jocKup. This request was grauted
and at their own suggestion they were
locked up. They numbered four, and
when liberated th next morning they
meandered down the Willamette. The
chances are they were like Micawber
"waiting for something to turn up."
Two More Text Books.
Slate School Supt. G. M. Irwin will
recommend to the next legislature the
enactment of an amendment to the
educational laws of the state, to add
two more text books to the common
school curriculum. The subjects area
work on civil government for the sev
enth and eighth grades and auoiiier
on good morals. Tbese are two branch
es that Mr. Irwin thinks should be
taught in the common schools, but are
not now. He holds it of utmost ii
portance to prepare hoys and girls for
the duties of good citizenship, and bi
lieves that this object can be aided and
obtained far better by teaching the
principles of civil government and
good morals in the public schools, as
the flutt majority of children do not
attend the higher schools where these
branches are included in the curricu
lum. As the law stands now even
teachers applying for county and state
certificates are not examined in either
of these branches. In civil govern
ment, a most important branch for the
instructors of the rising generation,
teachers are not required by law to
have any knowledge. The only thing
bordering on it at all, that applicants
for state diplomas are required to pass
au examination, are the school laws of
the stale. Statesman.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Shot While Hunting.
Christmas day's issue of the Albany
Herald contained au account of a sad
hunllnjr accident, as follows:
"Roy Warren, aged about 14, son of
O. W. Watren, of this city, went hunt
ing for ducks yesterday afternoon up
the Calupnoia. He was accompanied
by a little bou of C. K. Frnnk. The
latter boy, who is about 10 years old,
soon returned home while bis com
panion continued hunting. When
Roy did not return in the evening,
search was instituted by his parents
and others. The boy was found lying
dead in a field above the slaughter
house on the Calapoola river a Bhort
distance lrom town. A gaping wound
was shot in his right breast, ranging
upward to the neck, by the accidental
discharge of the shotgun he carried,
which had evidently killed him almost
instantly.
"How the accident occurred is not
known, as the boy was alone when It
happened. The remains were con
veyed to the home of his parents, iu
the first ward. The family, whose
home on Christmas eve was saddened
by the distressing accident, bave the
sympathy of the community."
Land Office Matters,
The local land office has been occu
pied recently with the hearing of the
Oregon Central railroad company
versus the State of Oregon, Involving
the title to land on Sauvie's Island.
The question at issue Is whether the
land was swamp or overflowed March
12, 1860, that being the date on which
the state's rights attached, if it was
swamp land. If it was not swamp
land the state bad no right to It, and it
fell within the limits of the grant to
the railroad company. The Blale has
since transferred the land to innocent
purchasers and they are interested In
establishing the state's right to it. The
laud office has seldom had a trial when
so many of the old settlers of the state
have been present. But it took just
such testimony as they could give to
establish the state's right to the laud
in question. Judge Tanner appeared
for the railroad company, and Napo
leon Davis for the state. Judge Whal-
ley represented some of the present
holders of the property Oregon City
Enterprise.

The Brownsville Times says: "Mr.
W, R. Stanfield, of Holley, was In
this city Tuesday and iu conversation
said that a movement was on foot,
bucked by citizens of Sweet Home and
others, to build a good toll-road from
Sweet Home to Brownsville. Mr.
Stanfield said the projeot was meeting
with good encouragement. Our citi
zens, aud especially our merchants,
sbould look into this matter and assist
iu all manner possible in the building
of a good wagon road between' this
nluce and Sweet Home, for It would
meau much to the business interests of
Brownsville. The trade of the people
liviug adjacent to this proposed road is
what we want."
