EDUCATION.

Of Vermilion open Monday the 5th il
inst. We express Jul hope that d
the patrons and the people OF our v
parish in general will exert them S
selves to the utmost, to encourage a
our schools. The population OF t
this section has a fine opportunity y
to have their offspriDgs receive a {
liberal education gratuitlously. |
There is nothing on the globe s
which polishes a person like edu'

intellect is dormant, undeveloped -;
then up, and girdle your children
with the arms of education.
Immense fortunes are made and
lost-the man who was basklng

earnings of years. toll vanish like
snow before sunshine ; he rises IN
the morning a poor man ; this, the
!, rich dust dug from the bowels OF

thinks that this dust means intelll-
lgence, but lose the same, and ii
your early trainings have been

YOU have to take a seat with the

h The fortunes that are left you by

that which is inculcared in your

are the more culpable in the fact. that while
they know there is such an ordinance thAs
their officials are expected to enforce. they
have not even supplied adequate conveniences
about their places of business for their patrons
from the country to hitch their teams Lee

annn,bation Of those educated only for the as-

to nnn.hase or lease q tract Of land convenient

our farmer patrons If that should be thought
too much Of departure from . universal rule
Of showing gratitude TO our benefactors then
let us AJAX our City Council to place US on An
equality with the farmer and compel every
business house aud shop within the corporate

VICTORIA, B. c., April 29.-Methodist
circles have been stirred here lately on
account of the action of a Methodist min

since delivered a series of sermons IN
which he declared his disbelief in eternal
punishment Objections we're raised in
the annual district meeting against the

resigned; member of the congregation

Blue Mountain Extension.

The question Of the extension Of the rail
road from Blue Mountain 10 Weston Is OF nc
small importance TO the people of this section
Of country As the Ledder has repeatedly
shcwn, the passenger traffic alone that would
spring up between here and Waila Waiia
would of itself be sufficient to warrant the
company in its construction. The conven-
fence TO travel would he immense. Besides
this the freight on the amount OF wheat
raised in the country drained by such a road
would yield profit that no company, how
ever affuent can afford to despise. Great AS
the acreage now is, it would he very much
greater under the inducement OF having to
haul a short distance II is certain that We
will not always remain without greater trans
portatien facilities. Our people are in earnest
over this matter This was shown by the
liberality with which they subscribed to pro-
cure the right of way year or two ago when
the question was fairly put before them.
About the right of way We apprehended no
trouble 1t might be well, however, for our
citizens to meet and appoint committee to
secure the right Of way, to show the company
that We mean business and are thoroughly IN
earnest and fully alive to the Importance OF
this matter. That the road ought to run dl.
rect from here to Walla Walla, instead oi
SolIlp DS way VI -
In this matter the people of Walla Walla are
equally interested with ourselves, and we hope
90 see il consummated soon.
I. The above, from the Weston Leader,
describes the situation to a dot. The
citizens of Weston and its vicinity cannot
wish for an extension more than the
people of Walla Walla The time has
come when We must all act and pull
together if We ever intend to get out ol
the rut We have been driving in SO long.
The Leader says that Weston is Ii
earnest in the matter; the STATESMAN
can answer in the same spirit for ths
citizens and business men of Walla Walla
all being willing, let delegation from
each city meet and work jointly IN the
matter. What We both require is rail
road connection without being forced t.
90 by way of Whitman. Meet first ant
then organize to obtain the right Of way
To further speedy end of the prelimi
naries we throw open the columns OF the
STATESMAN to the citizens of Weston ant
our own county. Let us hear from
Weston first and at once.
