Items From Alpine.

Grain is suffering very much for want OF
rain. Farmers of this vicinity are fearing a
shorter crop than last season.
Messrs Ed. Belknap and Willis Howley
are just home from school. They have
passed full year at Willamette University
very creditable to themselves. One Of the
Profs. has said that Belknap settlement
always has sent students who have stood at
the head of the school.
As Fult Woodcock was coming from In
mans saw mill recently he met in the road
not thirty feet in front of him q large black
bear. After curinusly viewing one anoth-
er for a brief term each concluded the other
was not congenial company and so separa-
ted without pressing further acquaintance.
The company that went to the Siuslaw
returned disappointed in the country. They
say there is a superior harbor at the mouth
of the river and that there is much rich
land along it's course that would be proper
enough for Yankees or Germans to settle
upon but that the brush makes it most un-
fit for them.
Two dogs were killed several weeks age
for killing sheep, and still S. r. Hawley has
to keep his winchester in readiness for 9th

two of his goats.

Teachers. state ASSOCIATION.

This association convenes at Salem next
Tuesday and will continue in session the
remainder of the week The services of
many of the leading instructors of Oregon
and other states has been secured and the
outlook for the coming session appears to
be very fattering. Teachers who consider
that they have any equals or superiors will
find this an excellent opportunity to re-
plenish their stores of practical information.
While others who may consider the re-
mainder of the craft subordinates will find
this a golden opportunity to impart their
useful information to the needy. Espec-
tally should the younger teachers attend.
Their future is before them and it is well
worth their while that they improve every
opportunity that allows them to take one
important step forward. Remember that
your return fare will be reduced.

Philomath Picnic.

The closing exercises of Philomath college
ended with the usual exercises and picnic
at the grove about half mile from that
place, Mr. Reader and Miss Gregg received
diplomas in the commercial course. Rev.
J. A. Hanna delivered an address on the
subject of Character. The exercises on the
part of the pupils consisted of essays, dec
lamations and orations. An Grafton was
delivered by young Mr.. Edwards which
was fine effort. A large crowd was pres
ent and enjoyed a general good time. A
fine basket dinner had been prepared for
the occasion which was well taken by all.
The usual picnic fights occurred which seems
almost essential to complete the exercises
of the average Oregon picnic; and some mis-
creant stole the basket full of dinner belong
ing to a widow lady.

of consonants and their cembinations-
phonetic drill-should be most carefully
taught in every school. Correct pronunci.
alton is indispensable to good reading. It
is as impossible to teach reading properly
without a knowledge of the Oral Elements,
as it would be to teach arithmetic without
states and blackboards. These suggestions
are the result of my school visits. A few
schools are well conducted-thev would
equa! iany country schools in the state.
My efforts have been ably seconded by
patrons and school officers. I am glad to
note this zeal in the cause Of popular edu-
cation. e. A. MILNER,

The Picnic.

The picnic at Monroe last Friday was a
loud one. The picnic was probably all right
but near at hand in the little town of
Monroe the proceedings became boisterous.
Beer, whisky and the like Is said to have
run in streams. The overjoyous web feet
a number of them became so happy that at
last they concluded to shoot to pieces the
respective liquor signs of Adam Wilhelm
and Glib Powers. When they had finished
these ever significant finger boards they
turned their attention to shooting the heads
out of the beer kegs lying around loose.
We did not hear of anyone falling down
and getting hurt. The flow of spirits seemed
to be free and rapid. The justices of the
peace in unincorporated towns have juris-
diction to punish parties becoming bolster
Gus, but such officials and their constables
are generally quite timid in such matters.

fore it could be put out the blaze communi-
Gated to the light shed which was over the
mill machinery and burned the same but
the roof was so light that it done little or
no damage to the machinery, and only a
small amount of lumber was burned, not
exceeding four or FIVE thousand feet. The
company mad sawed at this mill a large lot

far enough to prevent any accident from

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY
A Father-in-law and 5on-in-Iaw Instantly
Killed Over a Business Dispute.

A fatal shooting affray between 2. Baker
and his son-in-law, B. II. Thomas, occurred
in I. B. Handley's law office at Hillsboro
about o'clock On last Monday. The two
were having some trouble oyer business
settlement and had called in arbitrators to
settle the dispute. There were present at
the time of the shooting Mrs. Baker, wife
Of z. Baker, and their daughter, vile of B.
II. Thomas and two or three others. There
had been trouble between them for some
time and on that day they both came pre-
pared to settle it. They both became very
much excited and angry, and during the
testimony Mr.. Baker drew his revolver and
started for Thomas, but a couple of by
ISLANDERS grabbed him and tried to stop him,
but could not. In the meantime Mrs.
Thomas threw her arms around her husband
and forced him back at the same time. The
poor woman was shrieking with terror.
Baker reached around his daughter and
placed the muzz!e of his revolver against
Thomas left breast and fired, and an instant
later Thomas fired over bis wife's shoulder,
the ball striking Baker in the region of the
left nipple and killing him almost instantly
Thomas then sank down upon the floor in
his wife's arms dead. An inquest was held
by Coroner Brown that afternoon, and a
verdict rendered in accordance with the
above facts. Mr. Baker was an industrious
farmer, well liked by all who knew him,
and his sudden taking off is mourned by a
large circle of friends. His poor wife and
family have the sympathy of all. Mr..
Thomas, who was young man, was also
well respected. He leaves wife and g
small child. HIS wife is in delicate health
and it is doubtful whether she will stand
the terrible ordeal through which she ha,
passed. The two murdered men were
buried Tuesday.

message Of Hon. d. ". Bushy-
head, Chief Of the Cherokee Ma
ton, Of Senate Bill No. 10, intro
duced by Hon. Robert B. Ross
during the late session Of the Cher
okee Council. The bill itself was
printed in the CHlEFrAIx during
the council and il is not necessary
10 rsI'eat There since those who
took any interest in il are familiar
With lis provisions.
Some If The provisions, however,
We quote. Provided, that where
in it may be made TO appear, that
l.osts or other wooden material
used in the construction of SAID
wire or other fences. have been ot-
tanned from she lands aforesaid oi
the Cherokee Nation. The same
shall be taken possession of in the
name and on the behalf Of said Ma
tion and sold IN the manner above
provided. in the first instance, and
shall not be subject to sale or re-
moval by owners or claimants. y
And be il further enacted, that
the Sheriff of the District of Coo
weescoowee, shall be allowed twen-
ty-ive per centum Of the amount
Of sales made by him under the
provisions Of this act" 1t must
''he made 10 appear TO the Sher-
iii if to anybody, since he is the
officer put in charge of the matter.
The Sheriff must thus be made a
jud,siai Offices as well as Exccu-
'tiye-contrary to the Constitution
and would sit in judgment on
the question as to whether the
posts were Cherokee or not.
Not only would he be the Judge
in the matter, but he would get
twenty-five per cent. Of their value
If he should adjudge the material
national property. 1t would be
greatly to his interest to decide in
the Nations favor. But accord
ing to our laws judge interested
in the issue of suit can not sit in
Judgment on the case and even
witness under our law is incapaci-
tated by pecuniary interest. These
provisions are undoubtedly con
trarv to the words and spirit of the
laws and of the Constitution.
Again We quote, "And in case
any controversy shall arise as TO
the ownct Of the stock SO seized or
tee LEGALITY Of the Tar claimed, the |
collector is authorized to act as a
commissioner to administer oaths |
and to have said differences arbi-
rated or determined by jury of

IT Is not hard to see how s.the !
egality of the tax claimed would
'e decided when put into the hands
# five cowboys interesting in pro-
ectlng the interest Of their en-
'loyNs.

the buggy whip and part Of the harness
belonging to o. A. Carpenter, stained with
what is supposed to be blood of the mur-

for analysis. The chemist says he has
only given the spots eursory examination

be completed before the middle of the
week. No new Developments are reported
from the scene of the tragedy to-day but
a special advances the theory that the
stains may be tobacco juice as Carpenter
