TROUBLE BEGINs.-It is reported on au-
thority that John W. Brace has purchased
the remaining unpaid claims against prop
erty holders on the Short donation land
claim, and will enforce collections from the
word 60. Leander Holmes, his attorney,
has been in the city notifying those who
have not paid to hurry up. Now that the
ownership Of these unpaid claims has passed
into the hands Of non residents their collec-
tions will probably be pushed to the last ex-
trsmity. and there is plenty Of room for
trouble therefrom.

FINE WoRK.-Mr. j. II. Toler, a very
modest gentleman somewhat advanced in
years, and who lives quietly in his rural
home on the north side of the city of Van
couver, has won a fattering reputation as
an artist. His designs in silver-ware, all
executed by himself, are far superior to any
thing displayed in the Portland establish
ments, and show the work of masters
hand. He has now all the work that he can
find time to execute. Mr.. Toler was tor
many years an engraver of miniatures on
ivory, but the inventions of photography de-
stroyed that business. After many years
residence in Boston, where he designed and
engraved for the silver-ware manufacturers
until the great fire, he removed to Vancou-
yer to spend his remaining years near his
relatives

said she was to marry. She had run away,

The advertisement and time table Of the
Lewis 4 Lake River Transportation Com
pauy's boat Latona will be found in another
column. This boat makes three round trips
per week between Portland aud the village
Of La Center on Lewis river, touching at all
intermediate points at the drop Of the hat
The officers are accommodating, the charges
for freight and passage are reasonable. and
while the boat is building up good bust
meas for its owners they are doing much for
the Lewis river country in furnishing cheap
transportation to the grand central market.
This companys boat Dsw Drop runs up the
North fork Of Lewis river to Cedar crock
when business offers and tho water is high

CARRYING THE MAns.-The route from
Vancouver to Kalana was bid lowest for by
a star route contractor named Lawton, for
5000 per annum. The Battle Ground
route was bid for at 1914 by Warren, who
also bid $40 for the route from Washougal
to Fern Prairie. These contractors belong
to the old star route gang, and as they have
bid below the actual cost of the work to be
done, it looks as though there was some
work going on that is not strictly according
to the common business usages.

School MArrERs.-Under this head the

School MATTERS. this head the
Seattle htelligencer reads the people les
son that exactly fits this town, and there
fore we give it in full as follows:
Nothing of recent times has aroused more
general interest and discussion all over Ore
gon and Washington than school matters.
During the past two years the children have
increased out of all proportion with the
school accommodations, and in the princi-
pal towns hundreds of children are debarred
from all school benefits Whatever solely and
simply because of the inadequacy of the ac-
commodation provided. The parents of
Walla Walla and Seattle have been particu-
larly worked up over the matter, while
those of The Dalles and other towns but
little less so. Too long have the educa-
tional interests of Oregon and Washington
been allowed to languish, and it is high
time efforts were made to revive Them The
safety and good of the United States de-
pend upon its common school system than
upon any other thing, and those parts of the
country are the most wealthy, prosperous,
peaceable, refined and happy, where educa-
ton is most general and thorough. The
trouble out here seems to be that the peo-
pie are not willing to tax themselves suffi-
GENTLY to provide the necessary accommo-
dations and instruction. An average of
about eight dollart is spent each year on
each child in the public schools of our Ter
ritory. In some districts the average is
down to five or six dollars, and In none does
it go above ten or twelve. That this is en-
tirely inadequate we have only to offer in
contrast like expenses in all the great cities
the country, where it invariably runs at
from sixtaen to twenty- dnllarc NOR , N

HARD AGRoUND.-On Thursday last the
Calliope went aground at the head of Gov
eminent Island. The Veto No. 2 going by
was called to her aid, and after some hours
Of Intellectual pulling found the water had
fallen so much she could not get away either.
At last accounts both boats were high and
dry on the sands, waiting for the June
freshet to get away on. If Capt. Foster had
not gone to the assistance Of those in dis
tress he might still have been doing four
ishing trade in boating wood and lumber.

for some months. A very large circle OF ac-
quaintances will mourn his passing away as
that of a time honored pioneer and the loss
of one of our best citizens. Those who
knew him best will mourn for him longest.
