Editor Southern Sentinel:
, win you honor me with space in your
valuable and worthy paper, to give my
sentiments to its readers in regard TO ed
ucation. Thinking you will 10 so. l write
AS follows: First. Why should we edit
cate? Because we cannot unravei the
mysteries of this world, without being
educated. Second. Because we cannot
understand, think and reason why there
is Supreme power and ruler over us
which is God, without being educated
Third. Because everything $50 wrapped
ND in mysteries, and is so complicated
that we must be educated. SO thatwe may
unrayel them, that we may understand
them. Fourth. Because we cannot GARY
on the affairs of our government properly
without being educated. We must edt-
cate. for without an education we know
more. nor less than scandals tale. or some
thing that occurs in our immediate neigh
borhood. We know nothing of interest;
do not know how to carry on society III
OAR nsighborhood of any kind, or even
how to appear in society. or how to adj
wise any one to do, or to become eminent
in their country. Young men. get an ed
m-ation. because the time is near at hand
when you will be called to fill the impor-
tant positions that the mos. prominent
men of our country hold to-day. and If
Won are not competent to fill those posi-
sitione, some one from East or North.
will take advantage Of the opportunity.
and then you will have to be controlled
by some ono you know not, for there are
men now waiting, and looking forward
for such opportunities. and now Is the
time you should take courage and get IN
education, and be prepared to meet those
| opportunities yourself. Ii not, you will
loose many advantages that await you.
| Fathers and mothers, would you not
like to see your children rise to eminenee
| and be of some benefit to themselves and
country. If 40, which cannot think eau
be otherwise, advise your children thef
| TO get an education. no matter If 1t takes
them till they are twenty-five years OF
age or older, they will never regret it
and you should take steps, anc take then
quick, to help them get an education. FOL
they do not only want an education t
hold an Office, but they cannot be genu'
inc farmers without it; for the best farm.
ers we have are educated men. So adj
wise your children to get an education
and help them all that is in your. power
Education has been overlooked too muci
and am glad, not only glad. but prout
to see the people Of Winn parish t:lkin:
30 great an interest toward education a
. they are. Why not this COED news b
reported from other parishes. Ilopin;

Some Solid Facts.

As the people generally, throughout
the parish are not aware, that the cnllec-
ton of tax ON movable property mast be
collected during the year in which, the
assessment is made, and, that there must
be an enforced collection Of the same by
the Collector. if the same remain unpaid
after it becomes due, and de-
linqnent, we have thought, that it
would not be amiss to let our readers
know, that preparations must be made to
meet them in order to save costs, and ex-
pense, which must necessarily attnch,
provided the collection of tax on said
movable property be enforced. We give
herewith the law that authorizedth col
lection of same, during the current year
in which the assessment Is made. Art.
21l Of the Constitution OF 1879 says:
1.-The tax shall be designated By the year
in which it Is collcctibie, and the tax on
movable property shall be collected in
the year in which the assessment Is
n,ade.n Act 96 OF 1882, See. 10 says:
THAT all taxes shall be collected in the
calendar year, in which the assessment
thereof is made, and shall be designated
as the taxes Of the year 1882, and Of each
subsequent year, accordingly as they are
collecfible, aud the taxes assessed in the
year a. D. 1882, and each subsequent
year shall be due in the calendar year

tasteful villa here and there well-planted and
growing grove, here and there a sugar planta-

when 10! the cabbage PALM with its beautiful
serrated trunk and long glossy leaves! On every
side wild and tangled beauty-plum trees in

leaves glistening as if newly vanished, grand
oaks, flowers of the jasmine, from which we

A Washington Club in New York.
W ashington Post.

Gen. Sherman's Washington friends in New
York mystfed him few nights ago by telling
him they could take him to Washington in five
minutes. They drove him to the Carlton club
house, on West Twenty fifth street. where all the
persons he met were Washingtonians and every
item of the menu was Washington dish, pre-
pared in Washington style and served by Wash
ington darkies. The club is sort of an annex
of 700 persons who divide their time between
the two cities.
The idea upon which it is based originated in
the capital last winter, when a number of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connect
cut members, who have been in the habit of
meeting frequently in this city, enlisted the serv-
ices of Mr.. John f. Chamberlin to put their
plan into practicable shape and execute il. The
house is brown-stone mansion, elegantly fitted
up with dining rooms, parlor library and smok-
ing rooms

THE CHINOOK.
A Summer Breeze That Blows During the
Oregon Winter.

Portland Oregonlan.
J. O. Wilson, who resides in Salem, and is
known all over the State, has almost 5000 head
of sheep up at Heppner, and now wears about
the longest face of any one in the country. With
snow five feet deep, and still showing, and the
thermometer hugging 10 degrees, it is very Sc
we're on sheep. 1t is not so very easy, either on
the sheep herders, who, when the poor. exhausted
sheep crawl into some hole and give up the ghost
have to go out and pick UP the wool, in order to
save as much as possible OF value from what 9th
erwise would be a total loss. Mr.. Wilson, when
he thinks of his sheep up there in the weather
devoutly wishes for friendly chinook" and
there are few born and raised Oregonians who
do not coincide with him in that desire. Just
exactly what this mysterious chinook is very
few newcomers understand. To one who has
felt the warm summer breeze floating up from
the southwark in the middle of December when
ice and snow lay upon the ground, and who has
seen these melt almost in single night and flow
away toward the sea- no explanation is neces-
sary.
It comes from the South Pacific ocean and is
never heralded more than few hours in ad-
vance. Usually it is felt at Roseburg before it
reaches the Willamette valley and eastern Ore
CON- its advent north after having passed the
Umpqua depending altogether on its velocity.
The signal office at koseburg does not give
notice soon enough because the 8 p. NJ reports
do not reach the public through the Oregonian
until ten hours later. In Portland and other
Willamette valley points and throughout the
inland empire the first knowledge of chinook"
is when it arrives. The earliest Indication is
the wind itself.
By the way, Chinook" as a name for our
warm southern wind Is misnomer, though it is
in general use. Along the Columbia river only
al east or down stream wind and an up stream
wind are ever noticed. The latter in winter
always means breakup of cold weather and
free navigation The Chinook Indians used to
live at the mouth of the Columbia opposite
Astoria, in what is now Pacific county, Wyoming
Territory and as the wind came from that d.
reetion it was named for the Indians In reality
it came from the SOUTH and after passing
through the Willamette valley turned the
corner at the mouth of the Willamette river
and went on up the Columbia. The only wind
that can properly be called chinook is the
steady northwest breeze which prevails during
the summer
