YAQUINA ITEMS.

New settlers need not fear but that there
are plenty of schools ON the bay. One was
run at West Yaquina last year with unt
scholar, and in the Pool slough district
when the teacher had no other pupils he
was sure of teaching his own daughter, at
$40 per month. We need moro scholars so
come on with your families.
Our old friend, Geo. M. Chance, has left
her bones down on the Siuslaw. She grew
here at Oneatta; it looks like a ship yard
there now, the government lighters being
repaired and others built. The carpenters
are at work OH the new steamer.
There is not much building going on at
this place, as there is no land or lots sold BY
! che railroad company yet, and builders put.
on very few embellishments. Whenever
the company can arrange matters to SELL
lots at this point, the citizens will take hold
with better heart and build to stay.
Our oyster trade with the valley still
keeps up it's lick. We always expect it to
fall off when the farmers stay at home to,
look after their spring work, but during the,
lazy season they come to town and take
their stews and help us all out. We always
try to send the fattes5 oysters for their
special benefit, as we know what farming
is. -. .s. =.
Most OF the gardens are planted and the,
grass and weeds are beginning to show up
nicely. ....

One of our oldest residents and oyster,
men, ''Our Elias" having sold out to the,
railroad company, proposes taking the next
steamer TO California. l think his name
will be Wiser when he returns, as he is

can be found i'll California. Ive been there

IL clearance of the chute A. B, shall re,

of 3,0oo feet will be s feet, being at the rate
OF IA feet per mile, whereas the average fall
per mile is about q feet. We must, then,
expect development of increased work by
an erosion of banks working great disturb,

OTIS LElGHToN's MISFORTUNE.
Overcome BY Illness While Returning
Home After a Sea Voyage.

Early last evening, Officer Massure' S
attention was attracted by the peculiar
actions of man at the Union station.
The man did not appear to be fully in
possession of his faculties and the officer
sent him to the police station. There,
Deputy Marshal Chase found that the
man was suffering from some illness.
There was no evidence of intoxication
about him. He was in dazed condition
but was able to say that he was Otis A,
Leighton, seaman on the schooner John
B. Coyle. A letter was found in Leigh
toms pocket, written by his wife on Sep
TENDER 30. In her letter, Mrs. Leighton
says that she had heard that her husband
was not feeling well. Leighton's home
is in Millbridge and it is supposed that
he was on his way there when overcome
by illness at the station,
City Physician Sullivan had the man
sent to the Greeley Hospital. DR.. Sulli-
van said last evening that he was not
prepared to state what Leighton's trouble
is. The John B. Coyle arrived here a
week ago from Charleston, S. C. The
fact that the ship came from Southern
port led to apprehension by some who
saw the man that this might be case of
cholera, but Leighton's symptoms were
not those of the Asiatic disease and no
cholera has been reported from Charles
Ton The doctor said that the man did
did not have much fever.

SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL HOUSES.
The Advice of the State Board of Health
to Maine People.

AUGUSTA, October 3.-The annual re-
port of the State Board of Health has
been printed and will soon be ready for
distribution. In size it exceeds by far
that of any previous report, being vol
ume Of 400 pages, the last report num-
bering only about 135 papes.
The bulk of the report, over 800 pages
is taken up with an exhaustive article on
schoolhouses, school hygiene and kim
dred subjects. 1t is probably the most
extensive and comprehensive article ever
prepared, and is of great value.
The secretary quotes from physicians
letters to show that the most common
flults of schoolhouses are low ceilings,
il-ventilated and badly heated rooms.
The most frequent schoolroom diseases
are catarrh, headache and sore eyes.
Children while in condition to COM
municate infectious diseases should not
be allowed to attend school. Precau-
lions should be taken against the com
mun;cating of tuberculosis in the school
room. Pupils or teacher should not spit
upon the floor, a dust should not be
raised in the school room, and scholars
with lung diseases should stay away
from school. The minimum school age
is too young. There are only four other
states with the minimum school age so
low. In % states it is SIX years, and
eight in one state. 1t has been shown
that the half-time system for primary
schools is not incompatible with salts
factory resalts.
AS to discipline. the pupils 'should be
allowed all the liberty consistent with
propriety and progress" The seeking
to suppress all traces of the natural hum
of industry in the school room, motion
less quiet and sitting with folded arms
are advised against; also the requiring of
pupils to stand erect and motionleSs
through an entire recitation. Enlist en-
thusiasm and industry in the aid of dis
cipline. 1t is not commendable to require
the pupils to keep their eyes riveted upon
their books too long at time, or re-
quire them not to look out of the win
dows. Don't close the doors against
tardy arrivals.
Corporal punishment is advised only as
last resort. Better leave the rod at the
teachers home or boarding place and
defer the punishment for few hours.
Punishment by boxing the ears should
be prohibited Keeping in at recess
is Objectionable; standing in the
floor more than moderate time should
be prohibited.

Sold Into Slavery,

SAN Francisco, Cal, October s.
Private advices received from San BENZ
to, Mexico, tell of the arrival there of
the steamer Montserrat with 500 Gilbert
Islanders, sold into almost absolute
slavery. The Montserrat left San Fran
cisco nearly five months ago, having beer
chartered by the same people that sailed
the ill-starred steam brig Tahiti. 1t was
stated then that its cruise to British Co
lumbia was merely ruse, and that il
was really slave working scheme under
the nefarious contract system. The
Montserrat had accommodations for 1000
natives, but had difficulty in getting
half the number, as the islanders had
heard of the disaster to the Tahiti. AL
the natives were at once distributed
among the coffee plantation planters
near San Benito. They will work fol
ST to $40 per month for three years, af-
ter which time they will be returned tc
