EUREKA, June 80, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL: A short local item
in this mornings paper informs the public
of an organization for the protection Of
traders. The question has two sides to it
and IL may be well ct the outset to admit
taat q cash system would be the one most
preferred. and would be not only a benefit
TO the trader. but equally so to the poor
customer ; but the credit system is COM
mon, and the trading people are largely
responsible for it. What customer is will
ing to have a history OF his business in the
hands Of every trader ; what he is worth
how much he owes, and to whom he is in
debted, and also, as to whether he is pune
tual in making his payments All this q
secret ~inquisition, with no chance on his
part to make explanation. Does the GUS
toner desire such q System? Would all of
the traders like such a system applied in
their cases2 Not q bit Of 1t. Many of
them. If their creditors knew all about their
business, would not run q week, and yet
the reporter thinks ~favorabiy of such q
system applied to the customers, without
any exception. Every person is a clever
fellow as long as he is rich, or punctual /;
but who has any standing II he or she be
poor. and every one is knowing to it.
II a black list system is to be organized
In Eureka Is ii not time for self-protection
to honest poor persons | Then this plan
Is suggested Form . cooperative system,

able salary to be your merchant pay in,
In cash, what you are able. from time to
time, from ten dollars to a hundred. with
the privilege Of always dealing to the
amount paid in. with only ten or fifteen
per cent. added on first cost the first cost
to be on everything; to be interested in
the association always in proportion to the
amount paid in sharing in the profits or
losses in a like proportion ; being credited
annually ten per cent. for all moneys paid
In. By this system there will be no black
list, and you will get goods much lower
than by the present system Of paying from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. All that is
necessary is to secure a good honest man
ager and ave trustees to make examine
lions when necessary.

A RICH PRESENT.
An Incident OF Yesterdays Closing
Exercises.

About as touching and interesting an
episode as ever occurred at any school ex-
e~rcise. t~ranspired yesterday afternoon at
| the closing OF Eureka's Public School. The
| Principal, Mr.. G. j. Scanland, arose and
| announced that the finale had come, and
though but for SO short a time as a couple
| OF months, ties had been formed between
| the various teachers in different depart
ments and their scholars, which were not
| easily sundered, even by 80 short a separa-
| ton; should they all be reunited at the
| end Of that time. For a few moments he
| spoke to the scholars, thanking them for
their strict attention to studies and the re-
| corded scale Of excellent department which
had been placed OIL file; requested them to
| not lay aside books entirely during the va
cation, but keep ''read up" and thus would
| they be the better prepared to advance with
the opening OF another term. sHe turned
to the parents, guardians and visitors
quite a concourse being present-thanked
| them for the interest they had manifested
| during the term. and for their presence
| upon this occasion; invited IN expression
of opinion from any of those present, and
sat down amid applause.
He was Immediately followed by Mr.. Ed.
Trofatter, he OF the Consolidated Hotel, on
Ruby Hill. Mr.. Trofatter said that he
never had made a speech al such an affair,
but he was now upon his feet to talk a few
moments, as this was a special occasion for
him to rejoice. He then mention6 Master
Frank Osborne, whose name our read
ers will remember to have seen upon the
weekly Roll Of Honor quite often; calling
attention to the young man as being of es-
pecial interest to the speaker; that he had
taken him from the streets and hoodlum
associations; had placed him under the tn
torship of Mr.. Scanland. in the Grammer
Department of the Eureka Public School,
and was pleased, beyond expression, at the
result Of the examination.
Characteristic OF Mr.. Trofatter, he thor
oughly aroused the good feelings OF the
scholars, teachers and spectators, and when
there were moist eyes to be seen scattered
here and there about the room, and when
all we're about to pronounce him the best
and most feeling orator in the city, he sud
denly broke down; walked over to princi-
pal Scanland. and handing that gentle
man a beautiful gold quartz watch chain
(which Is worth at least $50 or S100 in
coin) he said II can't talk, but here is a
small token of my esteem for you, and
for the labor you have performed" There
were ''no strings on" those present, n
they showed their appreciation Of Mr.. Tro-
~fatter's gift by unrestrained applause.

The Last Day of schooI-what Was
Said and Done.

Yesterdays exercises closed our Public
School for this term, and we unhesitating-
ly say it was the most successful term Of
school ever taught in Eureka.
Last Tuesday and Wednesday forenoon
were given to examination in various de-
partments in the different branches taught.
Much proficiency in studies was shown by
the pupils, and great advancement and
improvement in many directions. Ons
that was certainly commendable to both
teachers and pupils was the deep interest
displayed. Never did pupils seem more
bent upon making perfect Rotations. All
did their level best, and we do not think
that there was a single failure 10 record.
This examination has placed our school In
q healthful condition, and given to it an
impetus to which we hope it may ever
cling. Many parents ami friends were in
attendance. some during the entire exam
ination and closing exercises.
The closing exercises were held yester-
day afternoon in Mr.. Scanland's room, and
consisted Of the usual declaiming, reading,
reciting and music. 1t was all very pleas
ant and entertaining. All pupils p%artici-
pating acquitted themselves creditably. At
the close Of the exercises Mr.. Scanland, in
behalf Of all the teachers, thanked the pa
rents and scholars for their many kind acts
and strong support, and wished all pupils
a pleasant vacation. Had it been possible.
we would have been pleased to mention,
through the SENTINEL, the proficiency at
tanned in certain classes in the various de-
| partments. 1t is sufficient to say that
scholars and parents have returned a YER
dict Of well done to the teachers.
