FREE SCHOOLS.

This issue of the GAZETTE con-
tains a call for school meeting to
be held in the school house of District
No. 9, on Monday, March lst, at
which meeting an attempt will be
made to levy a 81 mill tax to sup
port said school during the ensuing
year. 1t is to be hoped that there
will be full attendance of all the
patrons of the school, as this meeting
is Of the utmost Importance to those
who are rearing families. The former
practice in this, and other districts, in
this State of levying a small tax and
then charging tuition besides has
been attended with deleterious re-
suits SO far, and now it is high time
that this should be free school in.
deed.
There are many families in this
district that are possessed of but mod.
crate means, and yet have from three
TO five children that they are anxious
to send to school, but have been una
BILE to do so, for the reason that they
could not afford to- pay s12 or SIS
per quarter, tuition.
We do not know of single Yves,
tern State, except-our own, that fol-
lows the system here in vogue. In
many of the Western States the
school tax is from II to p per cent,
and yet it is paid cheerfully. This
district does not ask but levy of 81
mills, which is very light tax, and
no one ought to complain at paying
such trifling rate. Fellow citizens,
we expect that you will levy the
necessary tax, and thus enable those
who are not fortunate in possessing
sufficiency of this worlds goods,
to educate their offspring, at least in
the rudiments of our mother tongue.
IF this course is adopted, and we
have strong reason TO believe that it
will be, for it appeals to our better
Judgment with an overwhelming
force, many children who are now
daily seen upon our streets, growing
up in vice and crime, will hereafter be
found in the school room, laying the
foundation for future usefulness. Let
no pecuniary consideration, or old
time notions prevent your doing your
whole duty when the time comes to
cast your vote upon this all impor-
tant matter. But once adopt the
free system and you will never regret
it, nor wish to return, to the present
one.

here, has lost some $4,000 or $40, 1000 worth
of fine cattle. Ali cattle men will lose from
so to IS per cent. Many who have hay can
not save their stock, as they are not fixed
for feeding. Those that do not need feed
get most, because they can contend for it.
Some hay stacks are entirely covered with
snow drifts. Horses seem to fare very well.
Many good judges of such matters say that
stock that is not fed at all looks better than
that fed. The trouble is that feeding has
been going on since January lst, and the
cattle rely entirely upon this and will not
browse.

THE ALEX DUNCAN.
IYamhiIl Reporter. ]

This steamer, about which more
lies have been told during the past
few months than one could shake a
stick at, has put in an appearance on
our waters. The Oregoniass has this
mention Of her.
's'The coasting steamer A7er DIM
can arrived at one o'clock yesterday
afternoon and landed at Pacific dock.
She left San Francisco on the oath ult,.
and stopped at Crescent City, Coos
Bay, Yaquina Bay and Umpqua.
She took II passengers from San
Francisco for way ports, and brought
up 200 tons of freight. The steamer
will leave for Tillamook and Yaquina
Bay next Saturday"
1t seems to us that Yaquina Bay is
rather looming up of late. This is as
it should be. No part of Oregon has
a f:lirer or more well assured future
before it. The region round about
that sheet of water and its tributaries
will in the course of time be by no
means, small empire of ITSELF The
same may be predicted of the Tllla-
NOOK region. The fact is the value
of the coast region of Oregon as a fac
tor in the future growth and prosperi
ty of this great State of ours is but
impertecly understood even by those
who have penetrated and partially ex
plored this wild and picturesque re
gion. The great dairies Of the world
will vet be located in the coast range.
There is lumber enough in these
mountains TO supply the continent for
a century. But this is wandering
from the subject. We trust the Aler
Duncan will prove the successful, as
we are sure it will be the useful pio-
neer off great and constantly incrcas-
ing coast trade. The Officers of that
vessel can contribute in aavary .valua-
BILE manner TO the much required
knowledge of the coast, by recording
and making public, private observa-
tions upon the accessibility of the va
rious harbors which may be visited,
the character and changes of the tidal
currents, bars and other phenomena
which the intelligent mariner must
necessarily take observation of. We
repeted, we hope the Duncan will
prove both a useful and successful pio-
neer in the work of developing great
and growing commerce. Every step
in this direction is move toward max
ing the State of Oregon independent
and self-sustaining. Each vessel which
enters coast port breaks down some
isolating barrier, knits together mutu
ally dependent communities, encour
ages the pioneer in his work of re-
deeming the wilderness from the
curse of,barrcness, creates new wants
and opens new fields of supply for la
Dor and merchantable commodities,
and at once encourages population,
without which all our natural wealth
and our abounding resources are less
than nothing.

closing the church year of 1880, was
held in this city on saturday last,
Elder Hunnicutt presiding. DIT.
Watkins, our beloved pastor, who
has been for long time too feeble to
attend to his charge, was present and
babe those assembled farewell. We
were not there but have been told by
others who were, that the occasion
was more full of solemn and touching
interest than anything they had ever
witnessed under similar circum-
stances. DIR Watkins christian eN-
perience, and words of comfort and
cheer, fell from his lips as though he
were sainted herald delivering
message from the heavenly land, and
sank into the hearts of his hearers
with power not of earth. The Occa-
sion-the patriarehal appearance of
the speaker-the yeamings Of his soul
toward the young men and women Of
his flock whom he hoped 10 have
leon instrumental in savIng-and his
tender and heavenly words Of parting,
will never be forgotten during The life
time Of his hearers.
