THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAN
COUNTY. OREGON.
THE TEACHERS.

There has been in Coudon, this
week, a small army Of teachers,
some bonny and beautiful,
Others brawny and brave, but
all filed with earnestness in their
intelligent search after more light"
on the many intricacies and mys-
teries Of their chosen profession.
Many Of them are in the spring
time Of life, fresh from the schools,
filled with the ardor aud enthusi-
asm of youth and eager to take
their turn at the toilsome task of
lifting the aspirations and lives Of
their fellows to higher and nobler
plane.
In their chosen work, for which
they have fitted and are still fitting
themselves, did they but receive the
support and encouragement to
which they are entitled from the
communities in which they live
and labor, their power for good
would be past all reckoning; but in
many instances their noble work of
directing the unfolding soul in
proper channels, Of filling it with
pure thoughts and lofty sentiments,
is poorly paid and uugratefully re-
ceived. Too often they are handi-
capped in their work by the
indifference of parents and the par
simony of directors, and in many
instances, for q compensation less
than that received by shepherd
ers or farm hands, they are
expected to take charge Of a cabin
full of cantankerous kids, and,
amid surroundings that would ruin the
patience of saint and wreck the phys
iqne Of an athlete. they are expected to
make saints of the little demons, schol-
ars of the ignoramuses and refined and
cultured darlings of the hoodlums. And
the wonder is that they succeed so often
and so well.
Lift your hat to the teachers. Their
power for good in this wicked old world
will never be fully recognized; their re-
ward will only come in that better land,
where bumptious boys and giggling
girls cease from troubling, and the
weary teacher will find rest.

THE PoRTAGE.

The proposed convention Of rep
resentative men of Eastern Oregon,
Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho, to meet at The Dalles some
time during the coming autumn,
having in view the awakening of
public sentiment in favor of the
speedy opening of the Columbia
river to navigation, by means Of a
portage road around the rapids at
Cello, is matter Of prime impor-
tance to every interest and every
individual in the territory above
named. All agree that freight
rates are too high on our products
to tide water, and that the only
way of reducing such rates lies in
the opening of our great natural
shipping way to unrestricted navi-
cation, and it would appear that
all should likewise agree that the
only way to accomplish the much
desired end is by mighty, united
effort on the part of the people in
terested.
1t seems to be pretty well
established fact that congress will
not do anything towards opening
the river in the immediate future,
and if the people are to get reliefit
must be by some other means.
One or more private companies
have been figuring" on the propo-
sition for several years, but, as yet,
they have done nothing beyond
little preliminary work and unless
something is done soon along that
line, the people who are most vital
ly interested. should take the mat
ter into their own hands and build
the portage road and establish
line Of boats on the upper and low
er river themselves. 1t could be
easily done. If every shipper and
producer in the vast territory
affected would enter a company
and take stock in the proposition
to the amonnt which they would
save in freight in one or two years,
it would soon be accomplished and
thousands of dollars which are
now paid out in excessive freight
rates would remain in the pockets
Of the producers. Let every man
and every newspaper in Eastern
Oregon, Eastern Washington and
North Idaho take this matter up
and agitate it and the solution of
the question will be speedy. Let
the convention be called. Let us
begin to help ourselves.

OUTLOOK FOR Cattle.

The Chicago Stock Record says:
Investigation at the stock yards
in regard to the recent advances in
the price Of beef brought out the
statement that never before in the
history Of the American cattle
market has there been such de-
mand for all kinds Of meat as at
the present time, The demand
for export cattle is enormous. The
statement is made that the prices
Of all cattle will be higher next
year than they are now, but in
three years, when all the thous-
ands of feeders find their way into
the market, there is likely to be q
slump Of from two to three cents.
This year Kansas has 500, 900 head
of cattle, which is a record breaker
for that state, The big ranches in
Montana, Wyoming, North and
South Dakota, are sending cattle
at present. Most benefited by
the increase in prices is the stock
raiser. At present everything
costs more alive than formerly,
making it necessary for the pack
ers to advance the price on all
dressed meats. The prices quoted
yesterday to local butchers was 8
cents pound for best straight beef
in the whole carcass, and l5A cents
pound for loins and ribs, when
together in even sets. One lot of
80 barrels of the latter was sold at
ISL cents pound. All other
meats have been more or less affect
ed. Prices have gone up in pork,
mutton, veal and all dried and
smoked meats"

With q Whole tot of almost genuine ar tllery language and grabbed the whip and lashed the horses lie did not hurt them-they were too tough for that. but he did convey the impression that the time had come 10 bring their second idea into play. They started for tht other end of the field full tilt, as they had been taught 10 go under all eircuin. stances, and with the fine scorn of what may be Tn the way which cbaraeterizes the artillery. Along toward the other end oi the field 1t seemed to strike them that things were not altogether as they used to be in the old battery; there were no drivers to keep the pace up and to use language. But they found farm road which worked them around the field nearly to where they started. This brought them back to the farmer and the way in which he was swearing made them feel natural once more. Therefore when he got close enough tc them to enforce his order. although Swhoa.' was not quite the same thing as "halt.' they wound up in fine shape; they swung the farm wagon clear around with good imitation of battery front into action. But the wagon was so much lighter than the piece to which they were used that damage resulted. The contents of the wagon were shot out upon the advancing farmer and left him buried under a heap. The wagon body was hurled far away through the air and came to grief by striking the trunk of tree, the wheels went of on independent careers, and most of the harness came 10 grief. But the horses stood shock still awaiting the next or der. They had run through the list of their small accomplishments and they wer content, for they were "battcry broke"-

The Greas Presidential Campaign of
 1900.

The policies of the the political par ties are now being formed and the can . didates discussed. The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at the approaching presiden tial election will probably decide the policy of the na- tion for the next decade. Every ci,ize n must study the great questions that are to come before the people. This can only be done through the medium of great newspapers. Now is the time therefore. for every voter to subscribe for the best and most reliable news paper abtainable The Semi w eek y Republic covers the whole field of political news. While it is Democratic 1t publishes the news in regard to all political parties without prejudice. Its telegraphic and cable news service is superior to any other paper, It's special paper for that class of readers who connot afford or do not h ave access to the daily papers.
 Attention is also called to The Re- public's Sunday Magazine. It's half tone illustrations are alone worth the subscription price. It is made up of special articles by the best literary talent, embracing variety of subjects of current interest News features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged upon, For the benefit of tue ladies the latest fashions are hand somely illustrated. The Repnbl c Sunday Magazine is always interesting to every member of the family.

ARTILLERY TACTICS.
Still Pursued by Two Farm Horses
 That Were in the War.
They Are "Battery Broke" and Per- sist in Going According to Mill tary Instructions In
 Their Work.

Horses in the artillery are required to know just three things. When they know these three pieces of information they are called battery broke, and they are relieved from all oligation to know another thing during their careers. The first item in the education of the artillery horse is that when he is stand- ing still he is to stand still, regardless of everything, until he gets the next or der. The next point is that when he is ordered to go, then go he shall for all there is in him. The third point is, that when halted he shall swing around in the direction from which he has come and stand stock still, and that he is the prettiest of all, for it goes to the tune of battery front into action" When a l horse in the artillery knows those 1 three things he's battery broke" and he never needs to know any more. If there is need of few other bits of mis- 'ellaneous information the horse looks to the artilleryman to know them.
 The simplicity of all this is what "aised hob on the farm. The command ng officer of the farm had bought q pair of condemned horses at an army sale. Fine, big, heavy beasts they were, md there is seldom too much the mat ter with the horse when the army comes to sell him, so there IS maH> u good bar gain 10 be had in that way 50 long &s one doesn't mind the It. S." and the condemned brand on his bit of stock This farmer maybe didn't know the difference, or perhaps he forgot to make sure, and there was nobody at the sale to tell him that these were battery oroke' horses that knew only three things and would never know more ncr less.
 The farmer had out bis pair in big field, where he was busy about some of the tasks which keep farmers busy at this time of year. They were hitched up to good big farm wagon, which took up about as much room as the caisson and Timber did in the light bat tery in which these horses had served. but 1t didn't begin to weigh anything like as much, and it was just easy for those two horses. All went well, so long as it was question of using the first idea those horses had The field was big one, and they were stopped at one end of it. There they stood. The farmer chirruped at them to follow him along the row he was setting out. When that was without result he yelled "Get up.' with trimmings. The order was not military, but the trimmings seemed natural; they reminded the horses of the artillery. Still the order for the for ward march had not come and the horses were too well traiEed to budge At last the farmer came running up

PatrOnize Home lndestry.

A Touring mill is most desirable TO
every business community In wheat
producing country. From these mills
the farmer invariably obtains the
highest price for his wheat. lhat
the prices paid by the buyers or snip
pers are always stimulated by those
of the local mills no one will attempt
to deny. Then should not the peo-
ple. and especially the farmers, be
vigilant in their announcement and
patronage of the home mill? Inc
Cable Roller Mills at Post Falls, the
only institution of its kind IN the
county, has created home marker
for all wheat raised by our farmers.
Patronize it by asking your mer'
chant for "Winter Wheat" or "Coeul
d,Alene" brands of flour.
