It is evident that the scow saloon at Viento contributed to the death of Daniel McDonald. It might be well to inquire if there ia no law to reach a man who is dealing out liquor by the drink without license on a river scow. When a liquor saloon pays a license to the county or to a town corporation it is privileged to deal out the stuff that will intoxicate and take away a man's senses, and the man who gets drunk at a licensed saloon and falls ofT a bridge and is killed has no one but himself to blame. The saloon is licensed to kill if i s patrons choose to kill themselves directly or indirectly by Imbibing too much at its bar. But a man who can evade the license laws of two states by flouting his saloon in the middle of the Columbia river should be held respons ible when a customer drinks too freely at his lar and loses his Jife iu conse quence. " ' Farmers of our valley will need to (et in and hustle the coming season. CJood times are coming their way. For tune will knock at farmers' doors where she has been a stranger for years. Be prepared for her, for it may be a long time before she comes around again to knock at some of our doors. We will have a larger population than usual the coming summer and all will want to eat. Make an effort to grow some thing the market will demand. Grow enough clover and timothy to feed your own stock through the winter and have some to sell. Farmers should quit hauling hay from town; haul it the 'other way. Plant a good lot of vegetables; look after the small fruits, and let the cannery have something to -to. - There is not a farm in the valley but can be made to pay more than ex penses the coming season. Irrigation ditches have made this possible. The Oregon regiment is now in the field against the jisurgents In the Philippines. Oregonians will be more than ever interested in the dispatches now. That our boys will give a good account of themselves, if called upon to fight the wily Filipinos in their jungles, no one at home has any doubt. The creation of Wheeler county by the legislature makes Fossil the county ent of the new county. Wheeler coun ty Is 54 miles long and 30 miles wide and its territory is taken from Gilliam and Grant counties. From Manila. We take the following extracts from letters received by Mrs. Geo. P.Ciowell from her son, Clarence English, of Co. E, Second Oregon, in the Philippines. 'J he letters are dated Dec. 10tu and Jan. 9th: The apples which were wrapped in paper all came in good shape, while those that were not wrapped were some f them spoiled. A good many of the boys got tioxes of apples, and we all have lots of good things now. , - 1 have secured some fine views with my camera and will send some home. We are having flue weather here now, like our Oregon summers, very cool at night. This morning (Dec.lOth) Kome of the boys felt chilly and were glad to put on their coats for awhile. I am getting along very well with my Spanish; can talk quite a little aud understand more than I can speak. The hoys from Hood River are all well. One of the Dlmmick boys vis ited us today. I went with a friend, the other day, to visit a new club formed by the best class of Filipinos. They are all trying to learn English, and I am going to send over some of our best foot ball and base ball men to teach them the Amer ican games. They are crazy to learn them. In fact, they are wild to learn anything that is American and tell me they want the islands all annexed to the United States as a state.' The new recruits are buying up all the curios and it is hard to get any thing in that line now. The government Is raising most of the Spanish ships that were sunk by Dewey at Cavite; 8ome of the boys off" the Monadonock visited our company last night and sung Bongs and danced jigs for further orders. The Oregon regiment is well liked by the entire navy aud also by the regulars. i Jan. 9th. We are expecting trouble now with the insurgents. They will not be satisfied until we give them a good thrashing, and we will do that in n hurry. Sergeant Lee Morse was shot by mis take by one of M company's boys on an outpost guard on the night of the Bill of January. He died instantly. The Filipinos had just been trying to break into the magazine, and the guards had fired several shots at them, wounding one in the leg. Morse and his captain went out to see what was going on, and Morse jumped down oft' the wall right In front of a sentry, who fired and Morse fell dead. It Is too bail, but the sentry can not be blamed. I had a great experience with a cen tipede the other day. I had my shoes on, witli no socks, and they were un laced. I felt something crawling in my shoe and looked in at the ankle and saw a centipede crawl up and look out, then crawl around my ankle and clear around my instep, and then nut through the-lacing space in front onto the floor, where 1 put my foot on him nod held him until I got a pair of tweezers with which I caught him. I now have him prenerved in alcohol. JCvery nne'near me yelled to me to pull off my shoe, but 1 kept still and watch ed him till he crawled out. I did not get excited. The centipede was about three inches long. Everything Is becoming American ized except the insurgents, and we'll fix them in a hurry when we once get at them. :- First Oregon Boy Killed Washington, Feb. 22. Gen Otis has cabled as follows from Manila under this date: The following casualties In the in- trenchments were caused yesterday by the men exposing themselves to the enemy's fire: - . 1 First California Hergeant Frank N. Turton, wounded slightly; Private Jas. P. Cassldy, killed.- . The following were killed during a reconnaissance tills morning in the vi cinily of San Pedro Maccarti; First Washington Private Joseph H. Card ington, Christian E Horn, H. D. Haz ard. Corporal W. B. Tucker, seriously wounded. Second Oregon Killed, EDWIN W. HAMPTON, Co. H. Three men of the Flist Nebraska were wounded. The Portland Telegram of Feb. 22d says: Edwin W. Hampton, the first Ore gon soldier to be killed In action in the Philippines, was a son of John Hamp ton, a furniture mover, who lives at 397 San Rafael street. The deceased was 20 years old last October, and bad lived in Portland since he was 4 years of age. His father moved here from Nebraska 16 yeais ago, and has raised his family in East Portland, where the dead soldier was well known and very popular. The first Intimation of the death of his son that Mr. Hampton bad was when a Telegram reporter called at bis house at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The blow was a sad one to the father and his five children. They had a let ter from the son last Saturday,! n which he said be was well and as well con tented as one could be in Manila. He said that he would like to be at home, but was willing to remain there as long as his services were needed. The news was doubly surprising to Mr Hampton, from the fact that Co. H had been on duty at the custom house. When he read In the newspa pers that the Oregon boys had been or dered to the front, he consoled himself with the thought that the company his boy was in would not have to go. He recently sent some Spanish flags and several curios home to his father, which are highly prized by the Hamp ton household. The Soldiers Monument. Hon. W. L. Bradshaw, of The Dalles, has been appointed manager of the soldiers monument fund for this county and has appointed committees to go io the citizens in person, to solicit funds to erect the monument to ine brave ur egou boys who lost their lives in the recent war. 1 he following extract from the Oregon tan, of a short time ago, will give a clear idea of the work ings or the monument committee: "To the citizens of Oregon: When our country demanded the services of citizens in upholding the honor of the flag, none responded more promptly or more earnestly than did the young men of Oregon. As I hey marched away they were our pride, and carried with them our love ana admiration. When the regiment, returns many who marched away will not be In the ranks; they died in theservlceof their country. "Let us at once erect a monument in memory of those who have died. Let us have it completed so that when the poldiers return they can assist in the ceremonies of dedication. "The soldiers' monument committee has been organized to take this work in hand. A leading citizen from each county in t lie state has been placed on the committee. Each county will be under the management of the commit teeman from that county. "It is the aim of the organization to make this work popular by placing the subscription within the reach of all. There will be a local solicitor In each precinct or school district, selected by the county committeeman, where per sons can leave their name and cash and have it forwarded to the secretary of the committee. Each person con tributing 25 cents will receive by mail a copy of the monument edit ion of a new unique history, well worth the money. Everyone can afford to sub scribe S cents for a worthy cause." Hon. E. L. Smith has leen selected by Judge Bradshaw to receive subscrip tions from the citizens of Hood River. Horticultural Institute. A horticultural institute of great im portance to all our fruit growers will be held at Hood River Friday and Satur day, March 3d and 4th. The follow ing eminent specialists will be present: Prof. A.

We are glad to note that a great many of our students have learned that there is little time to waste, the proof of this being the fact that a great many are improving their time by working right ahead upon some oue or two chosen studies during vacation Prin. Ailard handed each member of the 8th grade a carefully condensed outline for the final "review" iu geog raphy, on Thursday last, in order that they might be at work upon it during the vacation. Pupils have baen busy this week ex amining aud comparing grade reports. A fine crayon drawing of the Maine was framed and hung in the school building a few days since. A number of light repairs are being made in aud about the school buildings this week. That "cleanliness is next to eodli ness" perfumes the very atmosphere of the school building since Janitor l tan a s latest raid. The outlook for the 4th and 5th grades is an extremely large attendance. With open weatiier many pupils, of all grades who were prevented from at tending by inclemency or weather, will return. ' Prin. Ailard received a "machete" and Spanish pistol from bis brother, D. ;. Ailard of Co. L, second Oregon Vols., at Manila. They will be placed in the Travers' Book aud Curio club room for some time. Another move is on foot to add 30 choice volumes to the school library. GENERAL ITEMS OF INTEREST. New York has just passed London and has Income the first seaport iu the world, the position . London held for centuries. Switzerland is at p resent putting forth remarkable efforts of railroad construction. . Dr. Ricca of Belgium has made vast improvements on apparatus used iu wireless telegraphy, and claims that he can make the presence of a vessel, in a fog, known to another at a distance" of 30 miles and can telegraph real mes sages 7 miles. Cause of Germany's rise as a com mercial nation is said to be due to expert direction and thorough teaching. SWISS OPINION. While the Great Republic of the West is teaching many useful things to the old world, in the way of free dom, educational advancement and commercial progress, its influence is being felt in other ways as well. Here tofore we have been looked upon as a nation whose chief aim was making money, but now we are recognized as a potent element in higher civilization The press of Switzerland contain fre quent and intelligent articles concern ing our public school system, our col leges and universities, our hospitals, our asylums and those depending upon public or private charity for support. To these institutions are given the highest praise. Much also has been said in recent publications in the way of praise about our public libraries. - PURPOSE OP THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. The purpose of the public school, as seen in its origin and history, is intel lectual culture, and those methods can only have a strong and lasting hold upon the public mind which best promote it. However pleasing and attractive the work may be, however we may for the time command the public ear, and listen delighted to its praise, that system and those methods alone must win la the end and enjoy a lasting reputation which continue to rend forth pupils with a higher intel ligence, a better knowledge, a clearer understanding and a more thorough scholarship than their fellows. PLEASANTRIES. At a recent concert, the conclusion of which was the song "There's a good time coming," a runner rose in the audience and said: "Mister, you couldn't fix the date, could you?" v Hobson kissed me when we met It was at a large reception; I was one of many, yet I'll admit, without deception, 1 That although I'm fat and fair, Forty, too, and love bus missed me, I ran die without despair Hobson kissed me.
