B. Pierce, the government horticultural
agent, who was sent to this state at the ur-
gent request of the Oregon state board,
made very b ief stay here. However, he
will return in few days, and for time
make his headquarters in Portland. He
began his Investigation of orchards as far
south as Ashland and has worked his way
north. He has examined great many
trees and collected considerable data. He
was met here by Secretary George l. Sar-
gent, who will render him all possible as
sistance in making his Investigations. Sat
urday these two gentlemen visited an or
chard near Oregon City, which was found
to be badly infected. Last evening they

Horrors of the Fire

ST. PAUL, Sept. Slater details sim
ply confirm the reports received yester-
day as to the magnitude of the Hinckley
disaster. The most conservative estim-
ates of deaths in the six towns of Pine
county is 362, and from that the figures
90 up to 1000. Although the exact
number of dead will never be known,
enough is known to make this one of the
most appalling disasters in American his.
tory. More have perished, but never go
many in so terrible manner. As TO the
property loss all thoughts have been of
the dead-only few could be made to
tax about their business losses. 1t. is
probable that the loss at and around
Hinckley will exceed $2,000,000, al
though no careful estimates have yet
been made moi can they be made where
all papers and records have gene up in
the same flames that so quickly devoured
all the houses, the vegetation and almost
the land in large section of Pine county.
The rains today cleared the air somewhat
from smoke, but they were not heavy
enough to entirely quench the fires,
which would break out on the slightest
provocatlon if they had aught to feed on.
OF the fires in Wisconsin, less Is known
here up to midnight, but there was no
loss of life reported, and it is hoped that
it Is. over. Notwithstanding today's
shower, however, the ground Is dry and
parched, and all vegetation is so dry that
it would ignite easily and burn with ter
| rible rapIdity.

Families wiped ont.

WHITE BEAR, Mlnn., Sept. 3-About
80 people have just arrived from HInck-
lev and other stricken Minnesota towns.
They report the loss of life as appalling.
The family of John McNamara was
burned to death. Six members of this
family took refuge in cellar at Hinck-
ley, aud their bodies are there ID heap
burned to crisp. On the wagon road
leading northwest from Hinckley 80
bodies are lying dead within SIX miles of
the village. Two miles above Hinckiey
dead bodies are seen at every hand.
Most of the victims died from suffocation.
10 one place four were found dead in one
heap, a mother and three children. She
had laid them on the ground, and then
laid down on them IN an attempt to cover
them. Every shred of clothing was
burned from them. Many people ran dl
rectly into the woods. where they had no
chance for escape. D.'zens of people tried
to save themselves by running into the
river; some were successful, but many
were suffocated by smoke. Nine bodies
were taken out at the same time this
morning, and probably 90 or 80 more
will be found in the water. Every
Is in state of bewilderment, aud as all
records are burned 1t is hard to get any

Perhaps no subject discussed by teachers
has led to such diversity of methods, as
how to fix the attention of the pupil.
Armed with switch or ruler the old stvle
teacher was terror upon this point, and
with crushing results in part succeeded. N.
C. Rooper says: If the teachers art Is to
be summed up briefly, it may be described
as the art Of developing the power OF fixing
the attention" Yet how frequent is a con-
trary result attained; in fact were the OBJ
ject of school the development Of inatten-
tion, some teachers would be a remarkable
success. Baldwin in his Psychology says:
"Vislt our schools, our lecture halls, our
churches; you find one in hundred who
can give entire attention for an hour"
But here, as in everything else. 1t is easy
to find fault, but difficult to frame rule of
action that will meet with general favor.
Let us look at the material to be wrought
upon-the living, playing, loving, learning
child. Its mind In its search for knowledge
IS as active as the humming bird in its
search for sweets among the flowers, and
quite as restless and tireless.
You ask it (the child) to be still, and
study its lesson for an hour; you ask an i'm
possibility. You try to enforce such re-
quest and you are a tyrant. But you say
what am to do? Work. Work according
to the material to be wrought upon. Study
to teach according to natures demands. Do
your teaching well so as to fix aud develops
attention. Remember that early le. sons
should deal with the concrete, and to go
from the concrete to the imaginative and
abstract, by doing. 1t is not necessary to
tell the child that letter is a character
used to repre- sent an elementary sound. de
knows that it Is no such thing to him. l.
is simply one of many hook.i-ma crooks to
build. words with. These words are what
he is after, and let him build them; keep
him at work through a feeling of interest.
Let all you do have reference to the recip-
lent aud in the main with regard to nte :
est and attention. By this you direct the
will, and soon you have an avalanche oi
power that no encouragement can hinder.
'TIs then you have won victory; then the
teachers work is done. Any one who has
control Of hIs mind aud can think consecu
tlvely has the key of all knowledge and can
20 on, and on, alone and undirected.

TELECRAPHIC NEWS.
GIencain stranded.

ASTORIA, Or, Aug. 81 News comes
from Fort Stevens this evening that the
British bark Gtencasn loaded with cement
is stranded abreast the Point Adams
light. 1t Is impossible to learn at what
time she went IN the breakers, but from
information wired up from Stevens, it is
supposed she struck about o'clock. The
mate and boats crew affected landing
safely and telegraphed for two tugs. The
Escort left out about 10 o'clock, and
steam IS being raised on the WallODa,
which will follow as soon as possible.
As far as can be learned, the vessel is
about three quarters oPa mile from shore,
Just in the edge OF the breakers, and, as
the tide is just beginning TO flood. it is
feared that 1t will be impossible 10 keep
herlfrom drifting in. A heavy rain is
falling and a fresh wind blowiDr: ~i'c
heavy swell from the northwest. The
captain and part of the crew are still on
vessel it is not known how the vessel
happened to be in so far, but it is sup
posed that the heavy smoke off the coast
at that point prevented her from sighting
the light. The NanzanSsa will go out in
the morning, with anchors and chains,
and will assist the tugs in an endeavor
to pull her off into deeper water.

some more British Comment.

The Star Of Bethlehem, a paper Published
at Leeds, England, gives the following ac-
count of the late trouble in this country.
1t contains many points which are, no
doubt, new to many of our readers. 1t
says "As big revolution is now going on
in the United States of America, and there
is little doubt that the government will be
defeated. The dictator. Debs, has been
driven from his palace, and he and his min
listers are now hiding in the mountains.
The greatest trouble has been experienced
In the capital of Chicago. where Grover
Cleveland. the ringleader of the rebels, has
obtained control. The railroad track at
that place has been torn up and thrown into
the Mississippi river, stream considerable
longer than the Severn, and the stock yards,
where the government palaces are stu lted.
have been razed to the ground. The
trouble was started by man named Pull
man. who has a stronghold in the mount
aims of Illinois, one of the most considera-
BILE provinces in the. country"

Mnrder at Canaon.

We learn by telephone from Arlington
that James Barnard shot and killed Myron
Hampton yesterday at noon ip front of the
residence OF Sheriff Wilcox at Condor. 1t
asems that Barnard was convicted of cattle
stealing at the last term of the Gillian
county circuit court on the testimony OF
two accompllces, Clarpo and Hampton.
barnard after being sentenced to the peni-
tentIarY was granted a stay. of execution,
and was out on bail. He swere vengeance
against both of these young men. and told
Hampton that he would never testify
against him again. Yesterday about noon,
he rode up to Sheriff Wilcox residence. and
called Hampton out. As he came outside
the gate, Barnard, without saying word,
pulled his revolver and shot Hampton three
times, the frst ball entering his back. He
was killed almost instantly. and died where
he fell. As soon as the shooting was done
Barnard put spurs to his horse and escaped.
Immediately the sheriff organized a posse
and started in pursuits but up to the time
of going to press had not been oaptu ed. 1t
is supposed he has gone into.the mountains,
and will there remain 10 hiding.
