|SALUBRIA ON THE SIDE.
News and Notes from the
Metropolis Of the Up
per Country.
Don't Let the Institute
Die.

SIGNAL:-We are not quite snow
bound, but have nearly three feet of
that beautiful frozen water and the
prospects for more are very good at
this writing.
Most farmers and stockmen here
have their cattle and horses under
proper care, and we do not hear of
any scarcity of hay so far.
The holidays passed off very
pleasantly with Christmas tree and
two dances; one on Christmas night
and one on New Years night, both
of which were we'll attended and as
far as learned, very enjoyable occa-
sions
We hear that much less business
has been carried on in Salubria the
past month than at the same time
any year preceding for some time.
Money seems to be very scarce, and
while there is at present great deal
of grain in the vicinity, still the own
ers would rather hold on for higher
prices and be short of money to pur-
chase luxuries, necessaries and so
forth.
We expect the Salt Lake & Seattle
R. r. will, by going through Indian
valley, leave us as isolated as though
we we're in the frozen regions of the
north, ] wonder if Salubria couldn't
purchase "Old Bates good will and
get the road to make a crook and
come close to us. Oh, fish, The
road will be built just about as much
as Cuddys mountain will be moved
to Weiser We believe the only way
road will penetrate this upper
country will be by the natural course
up the Weiser river.
The school in Salubria is at present
adjourned, but will resume its duties
again on the 4th inst.
What is the matter with the school
superintendent that he does not issue
the teachers certificates, which,
to all reports, ought to have been
done long ago? 1t is said that queer
management is being carried on in
our examination board of Washing
ton county. 1t is very sad matter
indeed that our institute should die
out entirely at such an early date.
Where old fogyism prevails, however,
how can we expect anything better?
People who never attend an institute
or rarely ever read school journal
should not be expected to be prof.
cient in modern government of
schools, and furthermore ought not
to be allowed the opportunity of de-
grading the educational progress OF
any civilized community. New ideas,
new thoughts and an exchange of
different opinions are conducive OF
great good in our modern schools.
Now, how are we to obtain such un-
less we assemble at some place and
hold at least three days meeting
J for that purpose? Let's make "olo
! fogyism" retreat by taking the matter
into our own hands and rush him tc
the ropes. Let the teachers call s
meeting and we will guarantee 8
, good assmblage.
, We hear that Jack Monroe, ALA:
"Peg Leg" had to hold up his hands
: for Geo. York, our constable, on New
7 years night and be searched fol
| deadly weapons. Two revolver'
| were found concealed beneath hi.
{ clothing. Now Jack had been ;
little nervous and talkative from th'
5 effects of too much ''yellow root
: and accordingly dared the constable
{ to arrest him, but was surprised t.
: find himself suddenly on his way t.
o the callaboose The trial had no
!, come of at last accounts, but "pe;
leg" will probably get his fill for car
u rvino deadly weapons concealed
e 1t is slyly rumored that the Ed. o
!, the Citizen, of this place, has take
4 to nursing since Christmas, as com
plete nursing bottle and otfit wer
hung on the tree for him. The
II say something stronger than ne'
milk was enclosed in the bottle.
At this time of the year while sno'
d is deep there are more gold, silver an
a copper mines opened up and NOR
railroads in progress than at an
~ other time. Gin your mind.
