BENWELL MURDER CASE IN OREGON

Albany Democrat: In view of the sensa-
tions through the east about Benwell being
murdered by Birchall, and other cases OF. a
like nature, the Portland Welcome tries to
work up an Oregon case with the murder
left out. But the case is really different,
for the young lords who went to Benton
county got some pretty good land in earnest.
in the finest valley in the world, and if they
had had the sand would have come out on
top. The Welcome says:
Benwell was not the only Engli shman
murdered after being lured to this
country to learn farming. Some years ago
there was quite colony of young Brittons
in the neighborhood of Corvallis, who came
to Oregon to learn farming, and though none
of them were murdered, or stripped and
and left to starve to death, nanny of them
became dissatisfied, not to say disgusted,
and left Several obtained clerical positions
in Portland and to the hest of our knowledge
are doing WELL Mr.. Kersey, who became
right hand man for John Muir, when he
controlled the o. r. & Co.'S traffic, was one
of these misguided Englishmen; and anoth-
er one while employed in an insurance office
here drew pictures for a defunct illustrated
weekly, owned by one Ramos. The Eng
lish colony is still we'll represented in Ben

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

A weekly report of the schools is given
this week. 1t will be the aim to publish
this report each week.
Mrs. Callahan's room having the highest
per cent of attendance and punctuality
stands at the head of the list this week
with an average of 9S2 per cent. Miss
Harris room ranks second with an average
of 976 per cent. Let us see how many of
the rooms will better their record Ill next
weeks report. Each pupil not absent or
tardy helps to raise the average in his or her
room.
Pupils regular in attendance get more
good from school than those who are irregu-
lar as good weekly report means more
than merely high per cent.

The Salem fruit cannery and evaporating
establishment has closed down after very
successful season. Salem has clearly shown
that this line of business will pay. The
canning business will now increase rapidly
and become great source of revenue to the
state. 1t is gratifying to the newspapers
and energetic business men who have urged
such improvements, to have it proven, by
actual operations, that they pay. The
dawning of Oregon's prosperity is not far
distant and nothing but the grossest inac-
tlvity will long delay its approach.
