Saw MIL to Be Moved.

Patton g. Holsches, OF Scoggin val
ley, have leased the old mill site, IL
miles west of Forest Grove, formerly
owned by Colonel T. X Cornelius, and
will commence at once the removal OF
their saw mill from Scoggin valley TO
that point. The mill at this location
will be accessible to large supply of
the very finest yellow fir, and situated
10 miles from Seghers, where the lum-
Der will be loaded ON cars and shipped
10 Eastern parties, who have placed
two large contracts with the mill.
There is not an idle saw mill in Wash
ington county, and this year, owing to
the demand for lumber outside OF the
state, will be the best year for the in
austry in the history Of the county.
As to Issuing School Warrants.
The state superintendent has deliv-
cred an opinion to the effect that school
district warrants should not be issued by
the clerk or signed by the directors un-
til they have first been audited and
allowed; nor should the warrants be
delivered by the clerk until he has pro-
cured the signatures OF the directors.
1.-THE usual way of doing this Is at a
meeting Of the directors. After the
claim is audited, the warrant should
be signed as part of the transactions
Of the meeting, and the clerk should
then deliver the same to the party to
whom 1t is due. 1t might, however,
come under some method of procedure
covered by some bylaw that the board
has adonted -

There are In this district nine sta
tons and sixteen circuits. representing
siXty-one church organizations. These
charges paid last conference year for
the support of the ministry S23.iS7 40. or
s50SS3 less than the sum of the assess
mcnts. From the reports made to this
District Conference it appears the
charges are not as far advanced in
their collections as they We're n year
ago. and unless extra diligence is mani
tested by the several Boards of Stew
ards greater deficiency viii have to
be reported at the close Of the present
year. No more important interest of
the church demands our attention.
Whatever other claims there may be
upon the liberality of our people. this
one of the support of the ministry holds
the first place.
Resolved. That we urge upon all our
rhurches the importance of making
earIy collections to cover present def
iency. and that the most earnest effort
he made to bring up all the assessments
in full by the end OF the year.

When .he pusn Get. Her Pecl. up.

When The Puss Gets Her Back Up.
1t is not anger alone that makes cats
arch their backs. Indeed, when two
cats are preparing to, fight they do not
assume this attitude, but crouch low,
just as they do when about to spring
on their prey. the body being extended
and the hair not in the least erect.
But when, on meeting dog suddenly.
fear is combined with anger then the
cat, standing at its fun height. at once
arches its back, with an instructive eff
fort to appear as formidable as posi-
bic.
Darwin compares it to the similar
attitude Of the lynx when attacked and
to that of birds which ruffie their feath-
ers and spread out their wings and
tail when alarmed. 1t is noticeable
that cat viii also arch its back when
in an effectionate frame of mind, rub
bing itself against its masters leg. AT
the same time it slightly raises its fur
and holds its tail erect Its whole at
titude is just the reverse of that which
it assumes when savage.
Darwin accounts for this in the fol
lowing words Certain states of mind
lead to certain habitual actions which
are Of no service. Now, when a direct
ly opposite state of mind is induced,
there is a strong and involuntary
tendency to the performance OF a move
ment of directly opposite nature,
though it may be Of no service"
