PUBLIC SCHO0LS.-We have favorable re-
ports from both the upper and lower district
schools. The teachers now employed are
faithful and attentive to their duties, and
give general satisfaction. At present, We
deem it the duty Of the friends of education
to aid the district schools in all proper ways,
and if possible give them higher character.
\ grammar or high school is desirable, but
with the school law as it was bnnged b. The
last legislature, and the limited revenue for
school purposes, it seems impossible 10 Sc
cure school of the character desired. The
district schools can, however, be improved,
and to this end the friends of popular eiuca-
ton should devote their energies Ii means
can be obtained to enlarge the lower district
school :0om, the directors will employ an
additional teacher, and have the scholars
classified. In this way, the advantages of
graded school can be obtained at q triii;ng
outlay, and the children OF the district viii
enjoy advantages heretofore denied them
In matters Of this kind, it IS always best to
keep the att2inabIe in view, and whilst wish
ing for better things, DO the best we can.
This is the wise rule in private affairs, and
1t VII wor!: equally well IN all that relates
to the public schools.

4 CiiASGE.-ChangeS are not always I'M
proyemcnts, bu: the change that has come
over Waila Walla within the past three
years is certainly al improvement. \ few
years since it WAS common subject OF remark
that the town was cursed by the presence of
a class of people whose whole object III life
seemed 10 lie to disseminate scandal. The
purer the life of man or woman, the more
surely were they made the victimsof scandal
moneers. These busy bodies had their day,
and 20 the extent OF their mean abilities
they improved it. st last the town has ont
grown this conGit. IN of affairs, and to q great
extent these backEiters and deta;ners of
private character have sought other fields OF
o.,eration. Our citizens now haze something
else to DO besides listening to assaults upon
character, and lacking encouragement the
parties who formerly fattened upon slime and
fifth now keep ont of sight. Old settlers
who return after an absence OF several years
notice this change, and even those who have
remained here constantly feel as they walk
abroad that the air is purer than formerly
and that moral influence Is abroad that
checks the s!andcrer in his work OF det.ama-

4 MAMMOTH GRAIN FIELD.-Yesterday

lion was attracted 10 field of gram en-
lraeinr two thousand acres, all in the same
enclosure. This magnificent field Is owned
by Dr. Baker, and it is estimated Will yieId
at the rate of 50 bushels to the acre, total
of $4,000. bushels The grain as 1t now
stands in the field looks very fine, and II
nothing unfortunate happens, much OF 1t
will yield 80 and GO bushels to the acre,
All this is "beneh land" and few years
since was regarded as only usefni for grazing
purposes. Now it is known to be the best

OEEGoN PouTICS Portland papers of the
Eth, express the opinion that Dave Thomp-
sen is likely TO be the republican candidate
for governor Thompson is al admirable
ence-straddler. and is jus. the man to unite
both factions of the party. To Mitchell he
was indebted for his appointment as COVER
ror of Idaho, and in return for this favor he
is great admirer OF the outgoing senator.
Dave, too is fortified in another quarter,
He is understood to be one-fifth owner in
the Oyeyoniaa, and inasmuch as it is lmPos=
sible to elect a republican without the intiu'
ence of that great paper, this will count
largely in his favor. These are the little
scenes behind the curtain, and yet they
serve to give the people an i'lea Of the infn-
ences that control in the nomination OF candl-
dates.

NORTHWESTERN STAGE Co.-After q servica
OF nearly eight years, during which time not
single trip has been missed, nor the mails in
single instance delayed, the great overland
mail contract is about to pass into other hands.
"niie the new contractors are men of great
energy, and are blessed with abundant means.
and are thus in position to successfully carry
out the terms of their contract, still the people
OF this locality regret the necessity that COM
peis them to part with the present contractors.

and more particularly what might be termed 4
monopoly, where the employees, as 4 rule. are
so universally respected as those of the North.

are but giving voice to the almost universal
sentiment of the people of this locality; and
We believe this wish is shared b. all the com
