Report of Teachers Institute. :,

|
Editor MEs-MoUNTAINEER:
By request OF Supt. Shelley send you
report of our local teachers institute helt
in Dufur during the 18th and 2Oth inst
Sickness has delayed and shortened the re
port.
The following teachers were present
Aaron Frazer, Edwin II. Merrill, 2. z. Un-
derwood, II. NJ. Pitman, J. A. Haylock,
| Maggie Kays, Ed. Hinman, Kate Cronin,
Esther Menefee, Louis P. Dorals, Margaret
Daily and M. A. Chamberlin.
The attendance ON the part of the citizens
of Dufur and vicinity was good, with the
exception of the forenoon of the second day
There seems to be but one conclusion on
the part of every one, and that is that j.
was one of the best Institutes ever held in
this county. 1t was certainly the most
pleasant and harmonious that have at
tended. The lectures, talks and papers,
gwen and read, showed conclusiyelY that
the teachers present are wide awake and
progressive.
portant points emphasized during the insti-
tute:
1.-The necessity of more thorough in
structon in fundamental principles.
2.-The Importance of studying the ca
pacity of the child mind, and then seeing
that the instruction was not too advanced
for it.
3.--To always go from the known to the
unknown.
4.-That au intellectual education with
out physical education is wrong, and that
the education of both mental and physical
natures without correct moral training is
worse than useless.
1t was urged that teachers have the best
of opportunities for giving moral instruc-
ton, and they were strongly urged to de-
vote more time and earnest thought to this
part of their work.
Prof. Frazier and many OF his pupils ex-
erted themselves to entertain the institute
with music, and succeeded. The musical
talent of Dufur, outside of Prof. Frazier''s
school, LAID the teachers and visitors under
lasting obligations by furnishing some of
their most entertaining pieces to enllven
the evening sessions.
The citizens of Dufur generously enter
tanned both teachers and visitors free of
charge. P. P. UNDERWOOD.

Where He Preached.

A clergyman not long since observed a
horse jockey trying to take in simple
gentleman by imposing upon him a
broken-winded horse for a sound one.
The parson, taking the gentleman aside,
told him to be cautious of the person he
was dealing with. The gentleman de-
clined the purchase, and the Jockey, quite
nettled, observed:
"Parson, had much rather hear you
preach than to see you privately interfere
between man and man in this manner"
"Well," replied the parson, "if you had
been where you ought to have been last
Sunday, you might have heard me
preach"
"Where was that?' inquired the jockey
"In the state prison." returned the c,er-
rup1on

A Fruitless Search.


A J. Hill, brother of the unfortunate
youth, j. T. Hill. who was lost in the
mountains and persisted in the snow in at.
tempting to go from Galesville to the San
tam mines, December last, returned Tues
day to Albany. from the search for his re-
mains. All they found were the snowshoes
of the Yissing young man. They were
leaning against tree, and on the under
side tt letter, under date CT December
26th, ahc written by young Hill, was
found:
81 have missed the trail, and it is storm
ing, SC l fear I can't find it. 1 can't use
my snowshoes any further. I don't think
l am far from the trail. If can't find it,
will try and follow this out. # fail, hunt
for me down stream. May God help me
through. To my friends"
1t Is thought he persisted near by. but the
snow is yet five feet deep and the remains
could not be found. His father, B. j. Hill,
has arrived from Illinois and will renew the
search as soon as the snow partially dissap-
pears.

Huntington Herald: From W. g. Jones,
manager of the P. l.. S. Co., we learn that
the SHOWS haye not at any time during this
winter exceeded IA inches in Harney coun-
ty. He thinks that on the average about
inches pre- vailed. In the White Horse
country. east of STEMS mountain, snow has
not laid on the ground more than one day
at time during the entire winter. Stock
of all kinds is In good condition and the
gentleman says If winter breaks within the
next twenty days the loss of stock will be
very light. Indications are good for an
unusually large number of beef cattle to
come from the Harvey country this spring.
With prices fair when delivered at the rail-
way, the cattle industry will put large
amount of money in circulation throughout
this section.

w. w. Statesman: A young man named
Ed Birch, while hunting in the Blue mount
aims several days ago, had very exciting
time with cougar. While walking through
the timber he discovered a female cougar
and cub lying across the path, and raising
the gun to his shoulder he fired and killed
them both. He afterwards walked up to
where the dead animals lay and was exam
lining them. when suddenly the male cougar,
who had been hiding in tree, sprang upon
Birch and then fierce struggle began. The
cougar imbedded his claws and teeth into
Birch's right armi The man endeavored to
shake the furious animal off, but he was
unable to do so. Finally he was enabled to
secure his hunting knife and succeeded IN
stabbing the animal in the side several
times, until death ensued. In the struggle
Mr.. Birch's arm was very badly lacerated,
and ne came tn the city for medical treat
ment, and is at present stopping with some
relatives below town. Mr.. Birch Is the
same gentleman who had 50 narrow an es-
cape from death while endeavoring to kill
bear in the mountains last fall.

Kemp wrote letter to MIR. Benson, of this
city, few days before he sailed stating
that he would come to Astoria at once to lit
out for sealing cruise. While it Is almost
certain that the little craft went down in
the storm which made such havoc among
the vessels the latter part of January, yet
Benson thinks that she may possibly turn
up all right. The Gutter has been sort of
a hoodoo to the men connected with her.
She was started by man named Turner,
who lost his lite in storm of Shoalwater
bay before the craft was done, and from all
appearances his successor has met the same
fate. She was fitted out by B. Benson for
fishing and sealing, and owned by john Pc
terson, both of Astoria. No insurance.

They say when Jim Hill, the railway
magnate, was in Spokane ne was approach
ed by an individual who requested him to
give 500 for charitable purposes. 81 will
give $500, on one condition" said Mr.. Hill.
"What is that?" "You must make out a
receipt for that amount and give it to me.
Then you must keep it profound secret
until I give you the privilege of making it
public" The local philanthropist agreed to
the conditions, but inquired why Mr.. Hill
wanted the donation suppressed. He re-
piled: "I'll send the bill to David B. Hill,
of New York, and tell him they mIstook
me for him, and in a political year know
he would only be too glad to contribute to
the cause of charity. I am satisfied he will
refund the sum. Charity will be benefited

The Huntington, Indiana, Breeders Guide
says Oregon seems to be pretty good state
for the raising and manufacturing of wool.
The Eagle Woolen Mills, of Brownsville,
consume over 325, 900 pounds of wool per
year, aud over 700 cords of wood. They
employ an average of fifty-five hands, at q
cost of over S25, 900 annually. The Thos.
Kay mill, of Salem, uses from $4,000 to
400, 900 pounds Of wool per year, consumes
$50 cords of wood, employs fifty-seven per-
sons, aud pays $40. 600 per year in wages.
This country does not grow half the wool
consumed, and yet we sometimes wonder
