Mrs. II. a. Pratt is again quite Ill.
Whoopng cough, or something like
it, is epidemic in this neighborhood,
and as consequence the attendance ut
school is diminished.
Arbor day was appropriately celo-
brated by our school. The parents of
the scholars gathered at the school
house to witness the programme, and
the pupils acquitted themselves well in
their Rotations, readings, etc. Mr..
Andrews read the law of the state es-
tablishing Arbor day. The tree plant
ed was named Columbus By vote of
the school.

Tom Wickens procured of a neighbor

mate, Willie Warren, with a full-rigged
miniature ship, made by himself. The
present was made while Willie lay sick
and was placed on table at the foot Of
his bed. The ship is under full sail,
with captain and sailors, whitfield from
blocks of wood, on deck. The gift was
highly appreciated by the sick boy.
The work shows considerable knowl-
edge of a ship for boy who has never
seen one.
Some forward strawberry plants are

toes, grass is growing, the swallows
have returned, turnip tops are fit tor
greens, and other signs Of spring are at

THE SCHOOL LA US,

Through the kindness W state Prin'
ter Baker, we have received copy oi
the school laws passed at 'bc las; seSs-
ion of the legislature. The act having
mn emergency clause went into effect
Feb, 22ud. The act is too long for Us
TO publish, but it provides that upon
the petition OF ten legal voters of the
school district, the directors shall cause
notices of election TO be posted for ~
days, for the purposes of voting on the
proposition to bond the district.
Euuds may be issued, if voted, in II
sum not exceeding five per cent Of The
taxable property of the district, The
bonds must be issued 10 the county
treasurer who shall sell or cause them
to be SOFA, interest not to exceed s per
cent, and bonds TO bring not less than
par, The bonds are redeemable after
ten years at the option of the diitrict,
but absolutely Mt the end of twenty
years. Interest must be paid rs it falls
due, anu after ten years, sinking
fund must be provided for sufficient IL
pay Off the bonds ut the end of u
years.
SO much for the law, the question
is then shall we bond the district and
build, or shall We take chances on
hiring rooms for additional pupils
next term. To our mind there is but
one answer, and that is to put up u
school house sufficient for all needs.

Hens and DOrg.

Two large sized hens, acute brunettes
no brands or ear marks, but affected
with the scratches, have been assisting
the vegetables in our garden to come
up for the past week. If the owner or
owners will call and take them away,
they will prevent them being appoint
ed to the position of chief factors in a
pot-pie. Their heads will come off like
fourth class post masters, only with
considerable more celerity. We will
add in this connection that o black
hound with rich hazel spots over his
eyes, jumps over our fence, pads out
his dog-goned inwardness from our slop
bucket and breaks down our rose
bushes. If he is not taken care Of
there will be an item in this paper
entitled, "There was Dog"

COUNTY FINANCES.

The semi-annual statement of the
county clerk shows that this county
is now in debt in the sum of Sl00.S71
outstanding warrants, and about S1O.-
600 interest. The county treasurer is
just three years behind in the payment
Of county warrants, a call now in the
papers stating that he will pay all
warrants registered prior to May 1st
1889. Just how the county has gotten
SO deeply in debt is hard to say. The
affairs of the county have no doubt
been conducted honestly, but the debt
indicates that sufficient care has not
been used in watching the expendi-
lures. 1t requires now $4,000 year to
meet the interest, and this makes the
situation difficult to deal with. 1t is
evident that only high rate of taxes,
coupled with the utmost economy in
expenditures will serve to get rid of
this burden.

STRIKE ON THE [. P.

A strike of the machinists, black
smiths, boiler makers, pattern makers
and moulders took place Monday, the
men quitting work ir all Union Pacific
shops from Omaha to Portland. Some
5000 men are involved in the strike,
and it will no doubt cause the company
considerable inconvenience. The stri-
kers claim the company has acted In
bad faith, in reducing the number of
hours work from to s with a CORES
ponding reduction in wages. The
other side of the story is that the men
have old sores to rake over, and are
taking advantage of the necessities of
the company in view of the large
travel to the worlds fair, to get con-
cessions. At Albina 124 men quit
work,

Report reached town last week that
the big cougar that haunts the Indian
creek and adjacent country across
Hood river had been seen near VI. Y.
Rand's place. NJ. y. Watson took his
hounds out to give it a chase accom-.
panied by several OF our citizens. The
dogs were put on the trail where the
brute was seen, aud soon had him
hunting the tops of the hills. As it
made fast run for over three miles,
and the dogs finally abandoned it,
Mr.. Watson is ofthe opinion that in
stead of cougar it was either wolf or
coyote.

Prizes.

The floral department of State Hor-
ticultural Society is to hold q floral
exhibit at Portland June 18th, at which
time something over $4,000 in prizes
are offered for displays and collections
of flowers and plants, and a prize med
al to the child who writes the best
essay on flowers. The premium list is
being revised, consequently it will not
be published until later, but it has
been suggested "why not get some boy
or girl in our public school to carry off
the medal for best essay on flowers;
and why could not a flower festival be
held here Immediately before the one
at Portland, and make up collection
at that time Of either pressed or fresh
flowers to compete for the $500 prize
or perhaps for the best county display,
prize $50.00." Multnomah county is
cut out of competing for the prize More
particulars will be published later.

1t is seldom q newspaper gets a
chance to chronicle the fact that a
great transportation corporation has
voluntarily reduced its rates, but such
an opportunity comes to US. The Pa

rates on berries to Montana points 50

pany will find its liberality well repaid
