SCHOOL BOOKS.
Dalles Chronicle.

The school book question con-
tinues to be discussed at length.
Some of the attacks upon the pres
ent system of books are really
amusing, and make at least inter-
esting reading. That the language
series in use should be changed
seems to be pretty generally con-
ceded. Outside of that we still in
sist the sentiment of the teachers
of the state is practically unani-
nous in favor of retaining the
present system. We admire the
progressive teacher and progressive
ideas SO long as they progress for
ward, but that admiration ceases
when like the spirits of a seance,
their progress has reached point
where they no longer use good
English. The old books were
thumbed by Webster, and before
our most recent craze for progress
the teachers who now have charge
of the schools, themselves learned
from the old books. If they are
examples of the results of old
methods and old books, then from
our acquaintance with them we
would say let the old books and
the old system remain.
1t is only six years since the
present school books were selected,
and if the school superintendents
then made so poor a selection as.
some would have us believe, they
should not be trusted to make an
other

New York Evening Post: Foot
ball, as now played, has grown into
gladiatorial show. 1t tends to
promote the qualities which fur
nish our cities with their crop of
blackguards, loafers and bruisers.
1t cultivates the gambling spirit in
all our schools, high and low. 1t
brings the poor and quiet student,
whose object is mental culture,
into contempt. 1t exalts brutality
above intellectually. Unless the
proposed reforms in football are
carried out, it may soon become
an object Of as much popular aver
sion as it now is Of popular admir-
alton. In their sober senses the
Americans are not brutal people;
they will not long encourage bru-
tality in the youth Of their schools
of learning, where, though physical
culture has its place, it should not
be exalted above all other forms Of
culture, and should not degenerate
into savagery. The great public
will soon conclude that games won
by agility, skill and endurance,
and not by violent personal collis-
ion, are the best and most manly.

Perhaps it is all the better for
Oregon's interests that Senator
Dolph is not fellow of sufficient
jest to suit the carping soreheads.
If he were given to seeing the hui
morous side of things he might
neglect his senatorial duties to split
his sides laughing at the evidently
serious efforts of a few recreant re-
publicans in this state to prevent
his reelection. They are provid-
ing one of the richest jokes of the
season.-Portland Telegram.

While the United States has Az
100000 sheep, from which it pro-
duces 300,000,000 pounds Of wool,
Australia leads us with 550,00O,O00
pounds, and the Argentine Repub-
lie with 400,000,000. Last year
we imported half the quantity we
raised. AS mutton breeds are
adopted the price of wool will adj
vance, and sheep breeding improve

Senator Dolnh of Oregon he

Senator Dolph of Oregon has in
troduced bill to allow proofs to
be made on forfeited railroad lands
in cases where claimants have
taken up the lands and put valua-
BILE Improvements thereon with
bona fide intention of purchasing
them from the railroad company
but from any cause have not made
actual residence thereon. The bill
is intended to offset the ruling of
the present secretary of the inte-
rior by which actual residence is
made a necessary condition of ac-
quiring title from the government.
Under Mr.. Harrison's administra-
ton actual residence was not re-
quired where the conditions of the
forfeiture act, as to possession and
bona fde intention of purchase,
were shown. Mr.. Dolph's bill pro-
vides against another ruling of the
present administration by which
claimants are not permitted to ac-
quire title to two or more separate
tracts of land where the aggregate
amount claimed does not exceed
800 acres. This ruling, like the
other is persisted in, would work
great hardship and deprive many
a claimant of lands to which he
has a just and equitable title.

Agony of Writing a Letter at a Popular

Did you ever try to write letter at a Sum-
mer hotel? If you have you probably will
never make a second attempt. The exercise
you get mentally is nothing to the pedestrian
feats that you indulge in.
You can't write in your room because IT'S
too warm there; and, besides, you don't want
to lose a moment OF outdoor fun. So you
make pencil and pad and hammock combi-
nation. You start with My dearest dear"
and by that time you are surrounded with
huge crowd, who came to assure you that
rumor that ice cream was to be served for
dinner had been proven false. Gradually you
sneak away to another hammock. but the
crowd follows. Then, in desperation, you
plunge into dense wood. where you are
sure panthers and polar bears reside in COM
pany with rattlesnakes and African croco-
dIles. No sooner do you get that pencil fixed
than you hear something like this waited
over your head:
''You are heartless. You know love your
.'Te-he-hei 1 don't believe it. suppose
you've said that same thing to every other
girl here"
Il swear haven't I care for no one but
you. love-"

spoon at a summer resort.

OF His Vast Nerds But the Bones Now Left
to Speak of Lost Wealth.
From the San Francisco Examinerl
The schooner Annie Gee is unloading
cargo at Howard street pier that tells tale OF
desolate death on the plains Of Mexico. The
hold Of the vessel was filled at Guaymas with
the skulls and bones Of cattle that had died
many years ago on the parched prairies fev
miles inland from the port.
The officers OF the schooner did not remem-
ber the nsme OF the rich vaquero who several
decades ago owned the land about Guaymas.
longer and broader than nan could ride In
day and night, but the old people OF Quay
mas say that he possessed great wealth, and
that his herds Of cattle were more than could
be counted. The great vaquero was an auto
crat with great greed for cattle and gold.
Both OF these seemed to multiply on his hands
so rapidly that his treasure and herds were
almost unlimited, but he was not satisfied. He
grew more miserly every day, and at last he
commenced to stint the necessities OF life re-
quired both for himself and family. His life
became such that he lived In the most abject
squalor, gloating over his gold and forbidding
any of his scores Of slaves killing any OF the
cattle for food. So stern was he that none
dared disobey. and starvation In the midst OF
plenty claimed many for death. II not only
affected the slaves, but insufficient good and
diseases carried away the members OF the old
vaquero's family until only he was left
Then q blight came upon the herds. The
slaves and the MeIicans to this day say 1t was
the curse of God. The rains stopped and the
numerous streams which watered the va
quero's rich domain dried up. The hot sun
withered the grass. and food for thousands of
cattle became scarce. Soon the emaciated
bodies Of the starving beasts began to dot the
plains. Quickly they increased. but no rain
came. The vain old miser hugged his gold
and prayed for only drop OF water. He saw
his cattle dying in hundreds about him, and
In despair he shut himself in his cabin.
What few slaves remained alive fled from
the place. and now the plains for miles around
are dotted with the crumbling bones Of the
old miser's immense herds. The local his
torians OF the event do not know wha. be-
came Of the old vaquero, but they think that
hs died surrounded by his gold, and that he
was found that way by some strolling ma
rauders, who took away the treasure and
burned the house. The Mexicans about
Guaymas are now collecting the horns and
skulls and taking them TO the beach, where
they are paid few cents for their work.
The bones brought by the Annie Gee are for
q local fertilizing company.

calf Of my right leg. The pain was fearful,

relax my hold on the line. and as soon as I
realized my position knew that my life de-
pended on my ability to hold to the cord. The
struggle / know was not long, but to me it
seemed like an age. The cord was fastened to

the boatmen knocked it off with an oar.
When l was safely on the inside. however, we
pulled for the shore. and as my hook was Sc

trouble was experienced in landing the fish.
