TnE NEW TEXTBOOK ADOPTION.
Tho gontlomon of tho Oregon Textbook Commission aro ablo mon, and
wlso In tholr woll-nionning way.
Tholr adoption will bo the public school textbooks for six yearB, un
losss th law Is ropoalod, AND THE CONTRACTS ANNULLED IN
COURT.
The pcoplo who send children to school will havo to foot tho bills for
vrsriz dono by this commission.
"Thoy havo dono ono thing they have given tho peoplo plonty of new
Jbooks to buy for tholr chlldron. THAT PLEASES THE TEXTnOOK
.ajnLISHEHS.
'On tho plan that tho public Bchools aro tho biggest circulating library
Iln tho world, tho Introduction of now books is delightful.
If each child could bo glvon half a dozen grammars, arithmetics, and
'half a dozen of each textbook, by different publishers, IT MIGHT BE
IBETTER STILL.
But who is to pay for all thooo changes? Tho pooror clnsscs of pcoplo,
vthe mon and wotnon who havo not yot learned to' restrict tholr families
tto tho faahlonnblo slzo aro tho victims.
lb would bo interesting to know how many chlldron tho wholo commls
Tdon has, and whether any of tho commission really work for a living or
Imvo mado their monoy by ono of tho many forms of gontool graft called
TbnBlnoss.
Tho farmor, tho small homo owner, tho man of largo family, who loo'ks
njpon tho school book bunion with torror ALONG ABOUT THE FIRST OF
tSEITEMHHH, wan not much represented In tho work of tilts commission.
Tho adoption has changed mojtt of tho textbooks of tho public
'schools, and it may rosult In kooping thousands of chlldron out of
Hchool.
"'Contracts aro distributed among many Arms," says tho Orogonlnn.
Thoro woro forty very clovor roprosor.tntltves of tho publishers prcsont,
XND THEY ALL GOT AWARDS.
Tho fneb that Orogo nhns about the lowest attondnhco at public schools,
In proportion to tho school census, did not concern tho commission.
Tho fact that thousands of chlldron nro graduatod with eighth grndo
'cortlflcatoa, an anomaly for a clvllizod commonwealth, did not bother tho
oommlHHlon.
Each commissioner scorned to havo n list of books ho wanted adopted,
nnd, llko tho legislator with a local Institution on his hnnds, had to
stand In with tho othor follow, WHO HAD A BOOK HE WANTED TO
JBT IN.
If tho commission had cut out nbout thr,oo uselous books, and put In a
Tntlonal, sano ByBtom of writing, AND MADE NO FURTHER CHANGES
THE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SAID AMEN.
Tho resolutions passed by all tho dlfforont Granges ngainst usolo38
vhnnges in toxtbooks, sotting forth that a slnglo chango meant oxponso
of $25,000 to tho common hord, had, hnd no moro offoct than oxplodlng a
Fourth of July cap pistol IN THE FACE OF A BUNCH OF TRAIN ROB
11KIIM. "'"
Tho commission woro n law unto thomuolvos, and havo had a vory
pleasant tlmo nt Salem, with a vory adroit lot of book agonts, at tho ex
ponso of tho unfortunate ihubsqb who still nilso lnrgo fnmlllos qt smnll
chlldron.

THE FUEL PKOBLEM.
"With onrdwood fuel going up to four to six dollars por cord, tho fuel
problem comes on apneo.
Hops and prunes aro going to romaln tho groat staplo In Wostorn Or
egon, and cannot bo dried by suushlno, oil, conl, OR NEWSPAPER HOT
AIR.
Everybody knows that fuol makes it Imposslblo to contlnuo tho hop
Industry In California, and sun-drlod fruit nlono is posslblo thoro.
With tho atato Institutions about Salem buying ton to fifteen thousand
cords of ruol wood a yoar, PltlCES OF FUEL ARE BOUND TO AD
VA NCI :.
Ton to Hlxtoon dollars a cord for fuol In tho fruit growing roglona of
California, ought to bo a warning to cltlos llko Salem to do something
to moot this problem.
Instdo of ton years fuol wood will K0 up to TEN DOLLARS A CORD
AT THE CAPITAL CITY.
On top of tul fact ouough sawdust, iwrk nnd knots Is going to wnsto
In this city to hont half tho city with stoam boat.
Salem business mon nnd capitalist should stir thomBOlvos boforo It Is
too lato, and stop tho wnsto, nnd stop tho nrtlllclal advance in prlcos.
A Rtwuu boating p'nnt would bo ono of tho most profltnblo ontorprlsos
THAT OUR UtOAh CAPITALISTS COULD ENGAGE IN.
Tho fuul problom should engage t ho attention of tho mon who havo
largo acroago of fruit and hops. Elo ctrlc linos would help some.

MOHK POETRY THAN TRUTH.
Dr. Osier's oxamlimtlon of flvo hit mired death-bod uttornncos in tho
vain hope of finding somo stnrtllng testimony as to a dying man's
nblllty to catch a gllmpso of tho next world, rosultod In a swooping state
ment on tho part of tho noted scientist that not ono death-bod affordod
any light In that direction.
Now comes an oxploslon of tho popular notion thnt Boothovon uttorod
n political and stgnlflcant sentonco nt his death.
Tho popular phraso ascribed to Boothovon'a donth-bod Is most pathe
tic: 'RAISING HIMSELF ON HIS ELBOW HE LISTENED A MOMENT
TO THE THINDEU-STOHM THEN PASSING OVER VIENNA, AND
SAID, WITH A SUIHs ! SHALL HEAR IN HEAVE.NV "
Pathutio. Indued, but novor spoken.
Tho cold facts aro on record. Boothovon was sick unto doath.
A box (tout to him by Schott, tho publisher, was oponed.
It contained bottles of old Rhino wlno.
Hohtndlor took two of tho flasks and showed thorn to tho dying man,
who smallod ami said: "What a pity! Too late!"
Boothovon did not spoak again, but In his lasts moments a thunder
storm broke over Vienna.
Ho roso In his bed as woll ns ho could and shook his fllst nt tho sky.
Thoro Is no noed of losing tho great truth put In tho lnveutod scono'
REitt'HOVEN WIIL HEAR IN HEAVEN, JUST AS SURELY AS
VllKIMi IS ONE.
To nscrlbo tho rocovcry of hearing as tho dying wish of a musician Is
dramatic, plcturosquo and worthy of a great preacher's brain.
But human bolngs do not say such things at tho point of death.
Thoy say such things In tho long hours of suffering and waiting.'
Our owu Presldont MoKlnley said, "It is God'a way," but ho said It
whll hla brain was clear.
That wake It all th tuor a credit to aim.
Invention has at last como to tho rescuo ot at least ono of our beautiful
birds, which has been slaughtered in thousands at the behests of female
THE MATERNITY FLUMES OF THE EGRET ARE OBTAINABLE
ONLY BY KILLING THE MOTHER WHEN IT IS CAKING TOR ITS
YOUNG, a crlmo on par with soothing a kid in Its mother's milk.
Owing to tho heartless demand of women for ornaments to' put on
their hats, tho egret had been almost exterminated, for when tho mother
Is murdered her holpless young necessarily perish.
Tho Audubon societies have fought against tho ruthless slaughter,
naturalists havo lifted tholr voices In protest, but THE MURDEROUS
QUEST WENT ON, IMPELLED BY COMMERCIAL GREED, In defi
ance of protective laws and utmost efforts of game wardens.
Now, howovor, somo good genlo hns Invented an artificial aigrette to
bo used by milliners, which Is oven moro beautiful than tho real thing
and moro adaptable than that taken from tho bird.
It Is mado of ostrich plumes, and It is hoped the women will bo con
tent to use It on their hats, letting tho poor egrets alone nnd giving thorn
a chanco to multiply. .
