Charley Pitt, an Indian policeman,
and four other Indians, three women
and one man, left the Klamath reserva-
ton four weeks ago to go to Eagle point
to mill. They expected to hunt some in
the mountains, both going and coming,
but Agent Mathews has not heard from
them since they left and fears that they
have been showed in in the mountains
and may suffer greatly, if they have not
already perished.
The Grant County News publishes this
pertinent paragraph: "Now that our
farmers are raising more grain than for

should show an increased number of
swine. Feed them the refuse grain, and
let us have homegrown bacon and lard.

The steamer Dalles city is making it
unpleasant for the old transportation
companies on the lower river. A short
time ago the city of Vancouver shipped
their fire engine to Portland and return
on the Undine, for which that boat
charged the sum of $18. Some time
previously the Dalles City had performed
the same service for $500 Very natur-
ally the press of Vancouver commented
on the difference between the two
charges in manner not complimentary
to the Undine. Now the purser of the
boat comes out in letter to the Colum-
bian and justifies his freight charge on
the grounds that the owners of the I'm
dine paid, only short time ago, the
sum of $147, taxes into the city treasury
of Vancouver and buy all their wood at
that place, while the city gets nothing
from the Dalles City, excepting the
monthly wages of the wharfnger. The

authorities of Vancouver should look
out that the Undine does not get a
chance to get back the remainder of the
Sl47 of taxes.

Educating Our Girls Abroad.

AS a rule, the American girl seeks Eu-
rope for special study, either of music, art,
or the purpose of acquiring one or more
of the Continental anguages-German,
Frensh and Italian. The question where,
when and how 20 use time and money most
proftably, /. e., TO which province or cities
TO go; whether to enter at once pension
school where only French, German or
Italian is spoken; or to live in some family
where either language is spoken exclus-
lively; or to take rooms and live enfamille
taking. perhaps, some meals at restaurants.
Each method has certain advantages, also
some objections.
In deciding where to go, for instance, to
learn German, the Berlin cult will say, I'm
Bavaria the language is not spoken so
purely as in northern Germany" while the
south German habitant claims the better
accent, the Saxon and Austrian Germans
have each local claims. But, in point OF
fact, German Is well spoken and well
taught by educated people throughout the
German empire yet in each separate prov.
iuce peasants and laborers and their chill.
dren speak dialects which are as distinct
as are the languages of the different tribes
of American Indians, and can be under
stood nowhere else. Hence the conclusion
that. all other things being equal, one
province is as good as another for acquir.
ing the language.
One of the greatest objections to the pen.
sion OF boarding school is the insufficient
diet. European cooking is so different
from American, and at first so unpalat-
able that young girls who ought to have
appetizing and nourishing food and plenty
of 1t. could not be sufficiently fed. Then,
again, though these schools guard very
carefully their pupils, association with
girls so differently taught and whose
moral training may or may not have been
the best; also, the absence of home and re-
ligious helps is a vital objection to pension
schools.
OF these schools, the Swiss are said to be
the best, and in them French is far more
readily acquired than in the Paris schools
where SO many American girls are sent,
and where, as naturally would be the case,
the English speaking pupils associate. and
as a matter of course communicate in their
own language A. q. Lewis In La

also matters about the Road Board
would be discussed.
