STUDYING OREGON HISTORY.

The Collegian, a journal pub
lished monthly at Salem, contains
an article headed "Oregon History
in Public Schools" 1t is a subject
of great importance to all school
children of this state, and is prob
ably the least thought of by most
teachers when training the mind
of their pupils. The author of this
article, as given below, is W. e.
Yates, principal of Corvallis pub
lie schools, and the GAZETTE re-
prints it, appreciating the writer's
thoughts:
sIt is not we'll to overload the
curriculum of any school, ,and espe-
cially that of the public school;
still, while there may be too many
branches taught in our schools, the
results may be good if prominence
be given TO the proper studies by
the teacher.
More depends upon the teacher
than the textbook any way, good
book in the haat1s of an incompe-
tent teacher is worse than useless;
while the qualified instructor is
able to secure proficient work and
mental advancement even without
a textbook.
The schools of our state have
little history of Oregon taught in
them except that which is given
them by the teacher. The pupil
should not be allowed to leave the
halls of the common school or even
the college without an intimate
knowledge of the social, political,
industrial, and colonial history of
our beautiful and prosperous state.
The teacher should make promi-
nent the geography of the state
where the school is located. A
general knowledge of geography is
we'll, but knowledge of our own
country in its varied details is bet
ter. So in regard to Oregon histo-
ry; it should be made emphatic.
Many children attend our schools
for years, and,it may be, study and
finish the course without a hint
that Whitman, a Lee, a John
Jacob Astor, a Hudson Bay COM
pany, ever existed or at least have
any historical interest or connec-
ton with the early events in the
formative period Of our territory.
The physical features, the rivers,
harbors, lakes, mountains, ETC., re-
ceive passing notice in our school
geography, but the political history
is omitted entirely. Probably
many young persons leave school
without a thought of the names of
Oregon's governors, the different
towns in which the capital has
been, and the growth of its indus
trial pursuits. This should not be.
If one of the teachers of Oregon
schools would prepare a suitable
text book on this subject and it
were Incorporated into the flist ol
studies he would confer a blessing
on the state.
Until that is done, we teachers
should conclude the history of the
United States with a few weeks
course of lectures ON the history
of Oregon.
Let the pupils of the public
schools learn something of thehis
tory of their home, the state Of
Oregon"

NEWS FROM BACK EAST.

Mr.. !. B. Carroll has just returned from
a visit to his old home and friends in III
inois. lie reports the agricultural outlook
in Nacoupiu county and contiguous terri
tory as gloomy indeed. The winter wheat
war nearly all killed by the hard freeze in
May. The oat crop IS also almost a com
plete failure, an insect having attacked
and killed the Stalk-in many places the
straw Is dry enough to burn Most Of the
land put to oats has been plowed and
planted 10 corn. The corn promises better;
though. small they have fair stands and
the color is good. The prospect in Mis-
souri, Is somewhat better than in Illinois,
though long way behind Kansas. Mr..
Carroll says the difference Is so marked
as to be readily distinguishable as soon as
the state line Is crossed. He thinks there
will be greater outpour of immigration
from east of the Mississippi the coming
fail and winter than there has ever been,
ana the the bulk OF it viii come 10 Kansas
If present prospects here are maintained.
Kansas sincerely commiserates her less
fortunate sisters and neighbors in their
presently distressing situation, and bids
their peoples a cordial invitation TO come
and cast lots with Us and share our good
fortune of homes in land Of plenty and
pleasure.

what desired. He had not received any
private information about the matter and
was disposed to find out if in fact the press
report had such good news in his behalf.
Inc report was found to be correct and he
was inclined to believe such appointment
had been made, although at a late hour
last evening he had not received any other
information about the matter.
As soon as the fact became generally
known many called to extend con-
gratulations, some in earnest not
wishing to get place" but the applica-
tons for positions were more than a few,
but under the circumstances not so earnest
as TO be embarrassing.
For some time the contest, as far as the
city has been concerned, has been going on
rather quietly, and, in fact, little said out
side of few friends of the applicants
The term of the present incumbent does
not end until July q, and some had sup
posed that the appointment would not be
made, possibly, for a month yet, but it was
estimated by some last evening that the
congressional delegation had, from expert
ence IN such matters, thought it a good
time TO act when it was least expected.
The contest in this city not having been
as bitter as in most cities of the size and
Importance of Wichita, the excitement
over the matter, as estimated, will be cor
Ieapondingly limited, and should the rain
let up and the clouds clear away, the sun
will get up on time this morning, very
much like it would had there been no
action taken.
Judge Jewett is well known in the city
and county, having lived here over eigh-
teen years, coming from Ottawa, Ill, and
has shared the fortunes and vicissitudes
with the long residents. He has held
positions Of trust with honor to himself
and friends, which fact may warrant the
suspicion that the business of the post
office, in his charge, Will be properly cared
for
1t is not known when the change will
take place The present incumbent says
he is not anxious to hold on especially if
the Office is to be moved to the govern
ment building before the last of July. He
would be glad To surrender the morning
the work OF moving commences.

WORK COMMENCED.

The exact location of the College Hill
school building was determined yesterday
by one of the city engines. The grounds
secured are two and a half acres on the
northeast corner of First street and Fifth
avenue. The work on excavation will
commence today. Mr.. Dunscombe, who
has the contract, says he will rush the
work on the building until completed and
will aim to have it completed in time for
use at the beginning of the school year.
Mr.. B. w. Aldrich files objection to the
report that the school building is to cost
only 81 100 but the contract price is So 100
and he wants it generally understood that
College Hill does not propose to have any
cheap uncomfortable building but in his
judgment something in keeping with that
part of the city.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

The festive fairies held high carnival at
the Crawford Grand last night, and the
boards which have often echoed the tread
of the followers of the mimic art resound-
to the fairy footballs of Wichita's lovely
maidens, whose charming appearance and
graceful movements transformed the
shrine of Thespis to an enchanted fairy
land with all its dazzling surprise and
mystic wonders. Sprightly elves and mis-
chievous gnomes fitted gently to and fro
and played their pranks on unsuspecting
mOrtals whom fate had mysteriously
placed among them. The occasion was the
repetition of ''Thekla" for the benefit of
the performers. Each participant was
heartily received by the large audience,
and all of the special features were re-
called. Miss Libbie Arnold as ''Lizette'
made a pronounced hit. Her Spanish cas-
tanet dance and kissing" song would
have done credit to many favOrite on the
professional stage The Misses Goldberg
presented a very neat song and dance and
were peremptorily recalled. Mr.. Sid Toler
as "GObbo" furnished the humor of the
production and kept the audience in
roar with his ineXhaustible fund of mirth.
Among the specialties deserving of special
mention was the Indian club exercise of
MI Bert Milhson, which was presented in
a very effective style, and showed him to
be an adept in their manipulation. \
touch of refined variety business lent

THE FOREIGN FARMER
Becoming Poorer and Poorer Whereve1
He Is Under Free-trade.

Becoming Poorer and Poorer Wherever
He Is Under Free-trude.
A London letter of Mr.. Edmund
Yates contains the following which
viii be of interest to both the producers
and consumers Of farm produce among
Us who are still in doubt as 10 whether
Protection or Free-trade is better for a
country:
Several large sheep farms on the
Duke of Sutherland's enormous estate IN
the great county from which he takes
his title are about to be converted into
deer forest. Sheep farming in Scotland
does not pay now"
The great county of Sutherland was
once covered with small farms and the
inhabitants were deported 70 make way
for sheep. And now this country follows
in the wake or SO many Highland estates,
the sheep are turned off the land, the
shepherds follow the crofters, to be re-
placed by deer. sheep fan1mgin Scot
land does not pay now" What viii fol-
low the deer?
This proceeding has commenced in
England. Land is now, we said, al
most unstable at half the price it would
fetch twenty years ago" Grain grow
ing in England does not pay now. Eng
hsh farms, which were once the pride Of
that country, are passing out Of cultiva-
ton to be turned into sheep pastures and
an increasing lack Of labor applied to the
land is painfully apparent to those who
travel through the-country.
The tendency of Free-trade is to devel-
ep a single industry or class Of indus
tries, allowing others to be suppressed.
The dream Of the classical economist is
that all the world should be O market
for the manufactures Of one country,
which should command its own price for
such products; that all the world should
contribute its raw produce IN payment
for manufactures to q single market,
which would, Of course, put it's own
price on such produce. IF itwere not
for our tariff it is quite possible that we
would now be poor enough to grow wool
for sale in European countries in compe-
tition with the Argentine republic and
Australia. AS the price of agricultural
produce decreased we would be forced
to increase the quantity exported to still
further diminish the price. And the
limit of cheapness would be governed
solely by the high price Of railroad
freights and money.

HONORED AGAIN.

Last evening the Alumni of the Lewis
academy was rendered an elegant reception
by Miss Mabel G. Larimer at her home on
North Emporia avenue. Miss Larimer
acquitted herself very commercially as an
entertainer and duly deserved the many
thanks and praises which she elected from
her honored guests. Among those present
were Misses Mammie Green and Eva
Dewey of 'SS. Misses Mary Rutan, Har-
riet Johnston and Mr.. Z. c. Cook of 80.
Misses Jenevra NJ. JOcelyn, Florence D.

Misses Lucy A. DuBoise, Sarah Chapman,

PUSHING THE WORK,
Electric Cars on Douglas Avenue and the Mule
Power Giving Way TO the Electric
Motor--TempOrary Power Sta
ton Provided for.

| Shortly before midnight last night the
gong of an electric car was heard on Doug
las avenue. 1t was the first to appear on
| the avenue and was out on trial trip a
little late. The track and wiring had been
completed sufficiently from Main to To
| peka to allow a car to pass over. The
regular service Will commence today about
10 o'clock from the corner of Main and
Douglas to the packing houses, giving ten
minutes service to that part of the city.
The management of the company gave it
out yesterday that they would be able to
reach Main and Douglas last evening and
Ed Vail made an aqua bet that they would
not. So in coming down Topeka avenue
last night they gave him the gong seren-
ade and he responded by paying the bet.
The mule car service will practically be
set aside in the north part of the city COM
mencing today. As soon as the service on
the Topeka avenue line commences the
North Main line will be discontinued and
work on putting in the new track COM
menced. Over one hundred men
were employed yesterday on Main COM
mencing at Park and completed the grad
ing down to Central avenue Within few
days in the event rain don't interfere one
track will be completed on Main street
and service resumed there
The present power of the system comes
from the Riverside station and is able to
handle ten cars. This will be insufficient
to give the service demanded before the
new station can be put in. As result
the company has been compelled to make
arrangements for more power. The eng
inc at the pillow works has been secured to
run the dynamo formerly used by the sub
urban line and feed wire will be ex-
tended from the plant to the system con-
Meeting near the packing houses. This
will furnish power for the Burton Fair
mount and Topeka avenue lines and the
Riverside station will furnish power for
the Riverside line. This arrangement will
give power sufficient TO operate twenty
cars which it is though will be all in de-
mand by the time the new station Is COM
pleted.
The north town lines will be completed
first and the service put up TO the desira-
bic point when the attention will be given
to the College Hill line; Garfield Univer-
sity and south Main street branches. The
paving on Main street will be done as soon
as possible after the track is in position
which will end for the immediate present
the street improvements The street car
space on Douglas will be paved as soon as
the avenue is paved.

E0lsoN'S FIENDlsh CLOCK.

/ Thomas Edison, The phenomenal In

his career, and it would % a strange
sarcasm of fate if his latest invention
should make him positively abhorrent
TO the growing generation. Over in his
laboratory at Llewellyn park is this in

perfect, and It is photographic clock

IN FAVOR OF THE CITY.

The case of the city against Yankee"
Miller in which some property on Law
renee near Park street was concerned be-
ing decided yesterday in favor of the city
was a matter to rejoice over by some of
the councilmen last evening. Years ago
the county commissioners vacated Park
street from Lawrence to Topeka, and
Miller owning some property adjoining
proceeded to take possession and repre-
scented by Councilman Coffin wanted
something from the city to surrender the
property He has been quite willing to
compromise for some time provided he
could get what he wanted but some of the
members of the council held out for the
court TO decide. The decision gives the
city a street back to the alley from Law
renee 100 feet wide and Mr.. Miller owns
the property from the alley TO Topeka
which will be necessary to get in order TO
open up the street. 1t is not known how
much he viii want to allow a street to be
opened up but the city now has some land
to trade with and may be able to get a
street without issuing bonds or putting
I'D cash
