I'onrttsy in I'olltirs.
In a town in California a remark
able case of political amenity has
just come to light. Santa Barbara
county republicans and democrats
have long severally contended that
it was unfair to the other end of the
district to hold every county con
vention In the city ot Santa Bar
bara. At last the town of Los
Alamos has the cemocratic conven
tion. As it has but limited accommo
dation, and the doing of the hand,
something will help the town and all
that section of country, the republi
can club has passed a resolution
ottering to help their democratic
brethren render the ofliilr a success.
Californians will even subordinate
politics to material and financial
prosperity in anything that will
help to boom a place.

"We are under obligation to Prof.
Raudle for information of value to
many parents and children.

School will continue two weeks;
then one week's vacation, during
state fair.
Pupils not examined last June,
who desire to be promoted, and new
pupils entering our schools, should
be present the first day and all the
first week, as pupils are examined
and classified only at tho beginning
of each school month.
Pupils should not buy their
school books until they have been
classified.
If parents will send their children
at the start, and keep them in school
duriug the year, there will be less
discouragement and fewer failures
among pupils than in the past.
A bulletin-board is placed in the
hall of the first lloor of the East

ors in finding the rooms of the dif
ferent teachers.

school year.
How Others Do It.
W. H. Byors hands us an account
of what Fresno county, Cal., Is doing
to demonstrate to eastern people
what they could find and enjoy on
the Pacific coast. No wonder people
come west when they see these ex
hibits. It is to be hoped that Ore
gon will be well represented. It
must be remembered that the fol
lowing Is hut one county collection.
That makes it tho more enterprising.
Tho exhibit of Fresno county pro
ducts for display at the reunion of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Columbus, Ohio, went forward to
San Francisco yesterday. It was
loaded into a freight car audsent by
tho 11 o'clock morning express.
It was a superb collection of Fresno
county's wealth in whatever form it
appears, and tho directors and
secretary of the board of trade, feel a
pardonablo degree of pride over tho
results of their labors.
There were tho following olass dis
plays, handsomely arranged and so
numbered that when the exhibit
reaches Columbus each detail ex
hibit will be placed in its proper
positien: Firt and foremost conies
tho Fresno timber display; thon
Fresno county wines from Barton's
vinoyard; display of cereals from
Fresno milling company; display of
canned fruits, conslstingoftondozon
nutomatlc glass jars filled with se
lected fruits of all kinds; display of
canned fruits nnd cereals from
Solum and Klngsburg.
Pyramid of sun dried fruits nnd

HIBIUIU).
A correspondent sends in the fol
lowing. There are so many oats here that
they would like to see them take a
rise.
Quito a number of new buildings
and substantial repairs are being
made in this city.
The fanners are jubilant over tho
prospects of a continued advance In
the price of wheat.
Chinamen are contracting with
hop-yard owners to gather their
hops at 40 cents per box. It is said
that white men are agreeing to pick
at the same figure.
The railroad carpenters have
finished re-roofing the Brooks' de
pot building, and on Monday morn
ing began re-rootlng that at Hub
bard. They will finish on Wednes
day and return to Salem to complete
the new depot platform and clos
ings in time for the state fair.
Hon. J. B. Diniick, state sena
tor from Marion county, is, and lias
been for a couple of weeks past, af
lllcted with a very sore hand, a verit
able case of blood poisoning. He
had the misfortune to striko his
hand with a hammer, and tho trou
ble commenced. He feared for sev
eral days that he would lose his hand
but we are happy to say the indica
tions are now favorable for his re
covery. His hind however is yet
very painful, the llesh having eaten
away from one spot till leaders and
bones alone remain intact.
I'ollttrally Divided.
The Methodist Bishops are
evidently divided In politics.
Bishop Vincent declares himself a
republican. Bishop Hurst has just
written General Fisk that if he had
a thousand votes he would cast
them for the prohibition party.
Bishop Fitzgerald has published
five reaons why he will do the
same. It is not probable that any
of them are democrats. Here is
a republican commendation of
Bishop Vincent that might have
come from the columns of the States
man. The Caledonia (N. Y.)
Advertiser says that "ho recognizes
the fact that the object of tho nrohi-
bition party will be more nearly
attained through the republican
party than through tho democratic
party. In other words, Bishop
Vincent isn't a natural-bom, con
summate jackass." (Why didn't it
complete the sentence and say "like
Bishops Hurst and Fitzgerald ?")
When Salem Schools Will Open.
As will bo seen in one of tho
advertising columns, tho public
schools will open next Monday,
September 3rd.
The Willamette University com
mences the same day. So, of course,
does tho conservatory of music.
Tho school for deaf mutes will not
take up till Wednesday, 6th.
The blind school on the 20th.
The Sisters' school 27th.
