)qd nivi n, or., n:n. c, ism A'A'II .SCHOOL BV1LD1XQ. flic two rooms of ournhool building mow rrowdoil to their utmost cu Hty.the primary mrtntcnt alone taining sixty pupil. In round iiibcrs, tlu artusl nttemliuice is oik tulred, niul there is not worn for un ier. In fact, there is not room for l present pupils. The number of pits In the district litis doubled in past two years, tuut it is safe to say I double again in the next two. It herefore easy to see that we must t only have a new school house, but i must have one with more than ble the seating room of the present hiing. This means that we roust s-e a two-story building, with at least r room, and these rooms should be itiged to seat sixty pupils eaeh, kh is as many as any one teac her uld have charge of. It might be a Hdesi to so construct the building i the future an ell or wing could iled without marring its beauty, ng conceded that we must have her building, the question nat ly arises as to its cost and the nmn of paying for it. As we are build I for the future, it is proper that e who are to derive the benefit ild also lie made to pay their just sortion of the cost, and therefore district should lie bonded. In se ng plans, every modern conve ne should 1 provided. The build hould be heated by steam or by a ace, for several reasons, one of! h is because it is the cheapest way, another because it gives an even leratureall through the building, niplete ventilating system should "ovided; and decent, clean andcon nt closets, modern, should be one ie first things looked after. We . e such a building could be put up ,000, and we believe it is the very investment we can make. We I to remember that we are building lr children, and that our children ntitled to the very best school Ing as well as teachers, if for no reason, because they are ours, es the absolute necessity of the ing for ourselves, it is iudispensi r the growth of our town and our arity. People of means, who are lessed with children, in seeking a it ask the first thing as to the )s; and finding poor school build uid neglected schools, size rp the unity, very properly and justly ,by criterion, and go some place else, serease in values in property in istriet will prevent our school or rather building tax, becoming especially when the payment e building is extended over a pe ' several years, but evn should 100I taxes be slightly increased, i still prove a profitable invest '; If there is any one thing we cheerfully to submit to taxation s for the benefit of our schools, the highest rate we are giving Idren educational advantages at small undiviual cost. We hear complaint about the old building I cost, bat that has nothing to do m now. That is in the past, ye are dealing with the present s future. If it is to be eonsid all, it should be done only in it of "a fearful example," and be sufficient to cause us to ateer ; all patchwork schemes in deal fa the question now, and cause aud all to assist in getting a building that will be a credit to miunity, an honor to the town pride of pupil, teacher and tax- IMPOETANT QUESTION. irrigating problem is being at, and we sincerely hope that Its expected will be attained, last side two companies have corporated for the purpose of the waters of the east fork irough the valley on the east a river. It is proposed to con i 3000 to G00O inches, but we is a greater quantity than can jn that side of the river.

For a genuine exhibition of nna.iul terated gull, John L. A.ur, ex-president of the Young Kepunlicitn chilis of Ore gon, is entitled to tiivt, second mid third prizes. He issul a cad for a meeting at Portland of representatives of all the clubs iu the stale I st 1'hurs day. They came numerously, but John L., fearing there might Iks too much labor for the delegates, kindly ook the wlolo business in his own hands, appointed committees, elected himself president, passed resolutions, aud made a loug and wishy-washy speech in advance, Resides this, he had the proceedings of the eotiveution, including his own speech, printed be fore the convention met, and sent as "advance sheets" to the republican press of the state. According to Ibis advance sheet, the delegates went wild when John I.. Ayer ascended the ros trum, cheered themselves hoarse uud interrupted hi speech with thunders of appiuuse. The ridiculous part of the affair was that some of the country delegates got a copy of Ayer's pro gramme and printed speech and pro ceeded to smash his siu:o. As a inaitcr of fact, when Ajer ascended the ros trum theie were no thunders of ap plause and not a hut iu tiie air. i it was greeted with a decidedly cold wave of silence. The country delegates aud some of the Portlandcrs who were not "in it" had things their own wav, and Ayer did not get a chance witu his speech, though Le did have the gall to repeat part of it. The democratic club meeting mav have been "drunk anu disorderly," but it did not have any fun at all compared to that furnished by Ayer to the republicans last Thurs day. Judge John F. Caples of Portland is the president of the lilaiue club of that place. We are tempted to hope for the good judges sake that the republican ticket will be elected. The copious tear-fall the judge can indulge in be fore a jury over an $18 a dozen cay use, premises that defeat at the coming election would translate him into a sort of "he" Niobe, and the judge does not deserve translation. There is an ugly rumor afloat that Secretary Blaine bus deliberately mis led the president in the matter of the Chilian affair for the purpose of bring ing odium on the administraiion aud glory to himself. It does not seem probable that Blaine would descend to a thing like that, but politics causes devotees to cut queer capers and well, this is a president-making year. Some of our democratic exchanges are suggesting ex-Postmaster Iioby of Portland us the next nominee of their party for governor. Our present gov ernor will hold the office for two years yet, if he escapes the presidential ticket, and he is good enough for anybody. Poby would run like a vailcy tan boot; that is, he would i un down at the heel. Chicago has been decided upon as the place for holding the national demo cratic convention, and this tooalthough sh0-Eiade no effort to get it. Uro ind Hog Dy. Tuesday was ground hog day, and as the sun shone brightly, this famous weather prognostieator was enabled to see his shadow, and no doubt, accord ing to his ancient custom, crawled into his hole and told the weather clerk to turn on his weather. It was awfully i unkind of the signal service beast, but! it can't be helped, and we will have to take the weather as it comes. A Uerniit ill a Hold. Nelson Purdum, of Jefferson county, bid., disappeared from his usual haunts a couple of mouths ago after having squandered a big pension allowance. No trace of him could be fonnd until a few months ago, when hunters came across him on the bank of a river near Madi son. Smoke was issuing from the ground, and an investigation led to their finding a room underground, in which Purdum was living. A rude cot. a stove and a quantity of provisions were found, bnt the man, whose long gray beard and locks gave him a wild appearance, de clined to come out. The rise in the river is likely to fhxxl the hermit's place of abode, but no amount of persuasion will make him desert his strange home. Louisville Courier-Journal. - Apple HloMnoms In Winter. Perhaps every one does not know how easily fresh apple blossoms can be had in winter. Get the ends of branches with plump flower buds, and place them in water in a warm sunny window, and they will soon bloom. No doubt many other kinds of trees and shrubs will give as good satisfaction. Vick's Magazine.

Keichuer related his dream to Cnn nuigham & Co.. but a smile was all he got for his trouble. When the well on the Stautfer farm waa completed it was a tirst class duster, hi their adversity the owners of the well went to Keichuer aad asked him to show them the spot on the Shriver farm where iu his dream he hait seen the coveted l.ouo barrel well. He accompanied them to the place and a well was started oa the spot.

Guzman, who died on the IlOib of Jane last ia Bau. was deeply interested, especially during her last years, iu the descriptions of the planet Mars and the theoretical possi bility of communication between our planet and the neighbor worlds. Further more, expressing in her will a desire peculiarly astronomical, she made the following leg;icy: A prize of IDO.OOU francs is bequeathed to the lustitute of France (science sec tion) for the perr-oa, no matter of what nationality, who shall dincover within ten years from the present' time a means of communicating with a star (planet or otherwise) and f receiving a reply. Tlie testatrix ban especially iu view the planet Mars, upon which the atten tion and investigation of savants has been directed already. If the Institute of France does not accept the legacy it will pass to the Institute of Milan, and in case of a new refusal to the Institute of New York. Cor. New York Herald. Two Historic Ships. Out in the bay stands the "dear old Hartford." and by her side the heroic Nipsic. It is to be hoped that both these historic ships may soon be repaired. All the world associates the Hartford with the ejyiloits at Mobile bay. but besides this interesting fact she is one of the few remaining and one of the most beautiful of her type. Hers is indeed a heart of oak. She is not "dead, "as an old sailor lately said with a sigh. She ouly sleeps. The Nipsic is still stanch and sojmd, A ship that couldm'tftTr"way home (half around'tho world) with a storm twisted, projieller such as brought her up from Samoa after the tempest of March. is not a ship to bo set light ly aside. Sau Francisco Cor. Augusta Chronicle. Nut So I'uuiiy After All. A supposed practical joker went into the Staten Island fci ry slip on Saturday, and exhibiting a black bag declared it contained dynamite and that he intend ed to blow up the building. Everybody made a break for the door except a po liceman in citizen's clothes, who knocked the man down and captured the bag, which was found to contain nothing dangerous. The practical joker had his jaw broken ly the policeman's blow. New York Letter. A Striking; Jury. Without doubt the most unique strike on record w;is that which interrupted tlie trial of the Jones versus Gordon debt case at Burlington, la.
