Hr.a Turt1s.

About two miles below the junction,
in this county, can be found deep hole
of water in Current river, in which a
large turtle, measuring about four feet
across the'back, has been seen at differ
ent times for the last fifty years. Various
plans have been devised and put into
execution to capture the tortoise, but up
to the present time to no avail, as he
seems to be proof against spikes. spears
gigs, gunpowder and dynamite.
A few days since hunter residing in
that neighborhood, while passing along
near the river bank, espied his turtleship

large oak. Quickly bringing his Win

between the eyes. But judge of his
chagrin and surprise when the turtle, in
stead of tumbling over dead, quietly let
go his hold and swan away as placidly
and unconcerned as if he had been

Upon examination the hunter found
that the ball, after striking the turtle,
had glanced upward and imbedded itself
in the body of the oak to a depth Of six

FRUIT DRYING.

Why would not the business of fruit
drying pay in The Dalles? An enter
prising fruit shipper in Walla Walla is
making arrangements for putting up an
evaporator that will have a drying ca
pacity of four tons day. Surely an
evaporator with CAPACITY suited to this
market would put money in the pocket
of the investor. 1t would prove great
benefit to the people by creating a
market for all kinds of fruit that can be
preserved by the drying. process. The
business of fruit raising is constantly in
creasing while the home market is linn
tied and many inferior qualities of fruit
that are allowed to go to waste, when
fruit products are abundant, could be
turned to profitable account by drying.
AS it is, small orchardists, who cannot
well afford to put up dryers of their own
and who have not good shipping facili-
ties find little profit in fruit raising in a
year when fruit is abundant. A market
for dried frnit can always be found, at
all seasons of the year and fruit dryer
with sufficient capacity to dry all the
fruits that might be brought to it, on
the shares or any other way, would keep
many dollar at home that is now sent
abroad for dried fruit.

We can hear the poor girl sobbing, "Reg-
inald, love thee, but never more be
suitor of mine." But why, in the sum-
mer moonlight, as they loiter by the sea
and breathe the lovers vow, should they

upon furniture yet unstuffed, should
they lose the hour which, whatever be-
tides, will be theirs forever? Why should
Flora know Reginald except as time
gradually reveals him?
Would you have her see today the thin
white hair on the shining dome that

better for her or for him if she could hear

WASCO INDEPENDENT
ACADEMY.


The catalogue of the Wasco Independ-
ent Academy and State Normal school
for 1891 -92 is before us. careful ex-
animation shows that the various courses
are admirably adapted to the purpose
they are intended to serve. One espec-
tally pleasing feature is the fact that the
courses are not infiexible, but admit of
modification to adapt them to the needs
of individuals. 1t is no longer Judged
essential that all students pursue exactly
the same line of study in order to be-
come literally educated. Minds vary,
and the studies which will train them
best, vary also.
The normal course deserves more than
passing mention. Although the acad-
emy was made a State Normal school
over two years ago, bnt little importance
has hitherto been attached to this branch
of its work. The demand for trained
teachers in all departments of school
work has been growing very rapidly of
late. A suitable normal course, such as
is outlined in the catalogue, gives both
theoretical and practical training. The
state recognizes the merit of normal
work by giving to graduates of the nor
NAL schools certificates, good for six
years in any part of the state, and often
honored to adjoining states. Another
excellent feature is the provision for an
additional years work in the different
courses. With the training of the mind
the development of true manhood and
womanhood goes hand in hand. The
discipline employed is such as to stimu-
late truth and honor in all. On the
whole it is safe to say that no better
school is to be found in the state. The
people of Eastern Oregon should give
it their unanimous support
