Report of school superintendent

1t becomes my duty to make one more re-
port, to the people of this county,. on the
condition of the Public Schools. 1t is highly
gratifying to be able to state that there has
been more interest taken in the erection of
school houses, and the welfare of the schools,
generally, during the past year, than at any
previous time. People are beginning to re-
alize the great Importance of educational
privileges, for their children, and though
many are far below the mark, at the rate we
are improving, they will soon be up to the
proper standard.
Even the town, that has always been be-
hind on school matters, till recently, is seri-
ously taking steps that will eventually cul-
inmate in the erection of a Public school
house. There are now seven school houses
either complete, or in process of erection in
the county. l think FIVE of these are of
logs, fact to be deplored, for, though they
are better than none, they do not exhibit any
great amount of public spirit on the part of
citizens and are really the dearest house
that can be built. They are seldom made
convenient, or comfortable; are considered
no better than a cabin by the children, and,
after being patched up every year to keep
them in order for time, are finally aban-
doned for better ones.
District No 8, has taken the lead in this
matter A school house has been built
there at cost of $1,000, that might serve
as model, for many older places than this;
yet there is not a district in this county, that
is not perfectly able to expend like amount
for school house, and never feel it. The
trouble is, many who are able will do moth
ing, while those who are interested do not
feel able to bear the entire burden. 1t is
strange that in matter of public interest
so many are unwilling to render assistance
1t is fact beyond dispute, that the value
of property, in any community, is in proper
ton to the degree of education, the value of
school property and the grade of schools.
Boston has recently expended $230,000 on
school houses Philadelphia has just voted
Sl,000,000 for the same purpose. They
evidently consider money expended in this
way well invested. San Francisco built one
house for school purposes last year at cost
of S45,0 900 Surely this county can afford
$4,000 for their own benefit benefit that
would result in the addition of 100000 to
the value of your property.
The amount of school fund reported to me
as being in the treasury on the first Of De-
cember, was 1892. Whole No, of Districts
that reported, was nine. Total number of
children, 600. Being a triae over $500
each fsa..-. .s t.. %. &. .

COUNTY PAUPERs.-There are now three
men in DR.. Kinsey's Hospital in this city,
all of whom are afflicted with paralysis, re-
sulting from injuries to the spine. Neither
of them are capable of moving their lower
e1tremities, and are entirely helpless. They
have to be handled and cared for like in
fants, which of course, is no pleasant oecu-
patton for their nurses. All are friendless
and without pecuniary means, and they are
kept at the expense of the county The ex-
pense of keeping them, we learn from one of
the Commissioners, will at the present rates,
amount to about $4,000 per year
While the county remains in its present in
debted state the Commissioners are power
less to make any other provisions for them
than they have done. Common humanity
demands that they should be provided for,
and they will have to be kept where they
are, unless the people take the matter in
hand and raise fund to send them away, to
San Francisco or elsewhere, where they can
receive such medical aid as may probably
cure them, or at least be kept by eomnu-
nifty better able to support them and where
the common necessaries of life are not SO
costly as here.

WILL VETo IT.-A private letter from
Olympia says Specific Contract Law will
most likely be passed by the legislature, but
it is understood that the leaders of the Re.
publican party at Olympia differ from their
brethren in California, Oregon, and daho
upon the nice point of +" lawyialty," and will
seek to make party measure of it, aud that
under their influence, Governor Pickering
is understood to stand pledged to veto the
bill. This being the case, and the House
standing SO nearly equally divided, pOliti-
cally, it is not likely that the necessary two
thirds vote can be got to pass the bill over
the Governors veto. Among thinking bus
mess men of all parties, the passage of such
law has been earnestly looked toward to as
absolutely necessary for their protection, and
if the Governor and his party veto the bill,
they may expect that the anathemas that
will be heaped upon them for the act will
not be confined to any particular party.
Among that class of Democrats who make
politics trade, the veroing of the bill will
make no material difference, as it will fur
nish them handle with which to grind out
political capital against their opponents in
future election campaigns; but it will make
difference with the people of all parties in
the Territory who desire to see the adoption
of measures for the public veal, and if these
things cannot be done within the ranks of
parties, they will see that they are done out
side of them. The idea that there is any
thing disloyal in the mere compelling of men
to fulfill contracts and pay their debts in
gold coin when they have specifically agreed
to do so is too absurd for argument, and on
ly worthy the heads of such shallow-brained
men as have been appointed to Office in, and
who assume to rule the destinies of this Ter
ritory. 1t only substantiates the assertion
that has been made by many, that, to be 10y
al, according to their standard, is only to be
dishonest. In this connection, it is only
necessary to further suggest that the Terri
torial officers receive their salaries in green.

COLD BELow.-From Mr.. Geo. Thomas, who
returned from the Dalles this week we learn
that it has been much colder at the Dalles and
between there and the Cascades than it has here.
This is usual-the climate of this valley being
universally acknowledged to be the mildest east
of the Cascades The river between the Dalles
and Cascades and between the Cascades and

at the Dalles, promised to send boat to Wallu-
Ia as coon as it was possible to do So The low
water on the upper river" was as great an in
pediment to navigation as the ice.

From the way the people of Lewiston are
striving to hold on to the Capital, we should
judge that they regard its retention among them
as their last and only hope for the future ad-
vancement of that town. The zeal they mani
fest has never been equalled by any community,
exceptitwas they Olympiaites, when they divided
Washington Territory in order to keep the Cap
ital from being taken from their dingy and an
cient village. 1t will be remembered that some
Lewistonians took very prominent part in di-
viding our Territory, IN order that they might
secure the Capital of Idaho at lewiston
The Olympia clique ought to feel some sympa-
thy now for the predicamentof of the Lewistonians.
The prime movers in the old division scheme,
at Lewiston, expected that they would be guar
anteed the Idaho Capital for all time, as just
compensation for services rendered to the Olym-
plates in the matter of division. But the Sc
quel shows that they we're badly mistaken The
Capital will go to Boise City, Notwithstanding
the herculean and death-like grip of those who
seek to hold it to its original locality. We do
not wish to rejoice over the misfOrtunea of our
neighboring town, nor by any means to wish it
anything but prosperity in the future; but we
must say it got badly sold by that Division &
Capital Joint Stock Company. Better try some
thing else, and let go that hold before you get
carried bodily off, @ 4

PORTER ON HIS TRAvELs.-The second
night after Geo. H. Porter, effected his es-
cape from the jail here he made his appear
auce at the house of MIR. VIM Moore, just
across the Oregon line, about six miles from
the city, at the hour of o'clock, and arous-
ing the family, entered the house and de-
manded horse. He represented that the
horse he had been riding had thrown him off
and ran away, and that upon finding the
horse they could take him in exchange for
the one they must give him, and the posses
sion of which he was prepared to enforce !
Upon arising, the family saw six other per-
sons around the house, mounted upon hor-
ses, who were evidently acting as Porter's
escort, but whom they were unable to recog-
nize in the darkness. Under the circum-
stances, the only safe alternative, was to
comply with Porter's request, and furnish
him horse, which they did and after
ter which he, with true highway imperiOus-
ness, demanded that the horse should be
saddled for him. This request was com
piled with, when he asked for hat (having
lost his, as he represented, when thrown
from his horse,) and some supper. These
were given him, when, in company with his
escort, he departed, leaving the family to re-
gret that they bad not been better prepared
for the reception of such unreasonable visit
ors, but still congratulating themselves that
they had escaped so cheaply. The horse lost
by Porter was subsequently found, but, we
learn, was claimed by another party.
On Saturday last, as the stage was com
ing from the Dalles, Porter passed it in the
vicinity of the Umatilla river. He stopped
a moment, and talked with the driver and
passengers informing hem that he was armed
with double barreled shotgun and two re-
volyers, did not intend to be taken, &c. He
continued on his journey toward Umatilla,
and has probably crossed the mountains by
the emierant road

have been solicited several times to recon-

think the time has now come when the ter
ritory should adopt series of books. Cali
fornia has set the example and by an act Of
of her Legislature has adopted series of
books, that are now used throughout the en-
tire State The books were not adopted to
please any man, or publishers, but were Ia
ken on their own merits, after careful exam
ination, by the State Board of Education
Oregon has followed and adopted the same,
and now if our Legislature will pass simi-
lar act it will make the series uniform all
over the coast.
The series consists of Wilson's Readers
and Spoilers, Green's & Quackenbos Gram
mars, Eaton's Arithmetics, Cornell's Geog-
raphies, and several others for the higher
branches, and l would recommend that our
schools get these books immediately without
waiting for legislative action. To those who
are striving to aid the cause of education in
our valley, do not give up, because the
clouds are yet dark, for they are gradually
giving way; continue to agitate the matter,
employ none but the best teachers, and en-
deavor to raise the grade of both schools
