The situation in the upper country
in regard to the smallpox, is about as
follows, according to the Walla Walla
Union:
One OF the best rules to follow is,
''in time of peace prepare for war;
The country around Walla Walla is
full of some sort of a contagious,
though we are happy to state, not a
fatal disease. There is some dispute
about the name of the. disease, the
majority of the doctors being emphat-
ically of the opinion that it is the
smallpox, while some others call it
chicken-pox others insist that it is
China measles, others call it German
measles, and some style it the "black
measles" We do not care what name
IT Is known by. 1t is enough to
know that it is a contagious and
1oathsOme disease which attacks chill
dren Oftener than adults and some
times proves fatal. The situation of
Dayton Is, We are very sorry to say,
very bad. A large number of cases
OF the disease are reported and yell
low flags are in all parts Of the town.
Waitsburg Is practically exempt. The
disease has appeared in Pomeroy,

Griffith from Dayton. He was quar-

symptoms of the disease and when
the proper time came, was removed TO

spread of the disease. Had not these
steps been taken, but young Griffith

one out in the city. But as the dis

through vaccination, should be kept
up. City Marshal Justice 10 informed

LEWIS RIVER, Nov. 4TH.-The many

make log driving a final success.
Mr.. w. J. Chapman says that he forgot
to mention that he had a piece of property
belonging to the parties who captured his
bee gum; and as they left a part of the
honey in their haste, if they will call around
in the day time he will divide the balance Of
the honey with them, besides delivering
over their property. Shame, boys! shame!

A fearful accident happened IN the grade
near the Hall bridge last Tuesday. Aparty
Of Kansas emigrants, on their way out to
Cedar creek, turned over about one-third
their way down the grade, precipitating
wagon, team and all of the contents down
the bluff, consisting of man, wife, and lam
lily of three or four children, besides all his
furniture. We learn the furniture is all
smashed to pieces, and all of the members Of
the family more or less hurt; but it is not
known whether any will prove fatal or not.
This road has been open for travel ever since
the bridge was built, but has never till re.
Gently been declared a county road; and l
believe the people in whose road district it
belongs still claim it is not a county road.
Be that as it may, it has always been util-
lied as a county road, and if not one, should
be made one right away, as it is and always
has been the most practical approach to the
bridge. $50"

We understand that the town Of
Dayton, w. T., owing to the preva-
lence of smallpox there, has been
quarantined by the authorities, no
one being allowed to pass in or out of
it except the mail agent. The stew
ards of the boats plying on the Col
umbia have been ordered to keep a
sharp look out for cases of smallpox
among the passengers, and several
rooms have been set apart in which
parties suffering from this disease,
should any such be found, shall be
placed and kept secluded from other
passengers. Every means will be
used to check the spread of this dis
ease.

Teachers Examination.

At the teachers examination held here
last week seventeen applicants were licensed,
as follows: j. A. Hutchinson, s. Z. Craw-
ford, Lizzie Robinson and Mollie Durgin re-
ceived first grade; Hannibal Blair, A. NJ.
Nicholson, H. f. Mckinney, frankie ST.
mons, Ella NJ. West, Agnes Ebert and o.
ivi Cove, second grade; and H. H. Royal,
Stella Smith, Lilly Russell, Melissa Camp.
bell, Maggie Baker and Mary Cramer, third
grade certificates. Only three failed. The
written exercises were continued until noon
of the second day, and in the afternoon
about two hours were spent in moral read
ing. The papers showed quite an improve
ment upon those of the previous examina-
ton. The fact is not only due to a better
preparation ON the part of the applicants,
but in a larger degree to a more liberal pro-
gramme. On this occasion nearly twice as
much time was allowed upon the test
branches as had been at previous examina-
tions, and it is evident that to this fact is
owing to some extent the success of so many
applicants. The Rev. l.. A. Banks of this
place, and Prof. Edwin Pratt of Lewis river,
constituted the board of examiners. The
programme furnished by the Territorial
Board of Education was carried out nearly
to the letter, and the printed regulations
were observed by the applicants with CON-
mendable unanimity.
A brief examination Of the papers reveals
a great lack Of familiarity with the Consti-
tuition of the United States. The import
ance of a knowledge of this branch would
seem to demand a special preparation on the
part of teachers, and it is to be hoped that
no pains will be spared in remedying this
defect. X.
