went scot free. He came west,
married and determined to forget
the past and live decent life, but
the memory of bis crime haunted
him; the constant fear of detection,
the ghostly thoughts of two souls
into eternity by him tortured his
mind. Settlers from his old Ohio
home came to his new home, and
for fear Of detection he ran away
to Death valley in California,
there to live in despair and isols-

to raise bis hand against himself.

The cotton in the seed market
here this past week has been some
what below the market price rul-
ing in other places. The price
here was $27 per thousand pounds,
at Parks it was $3.50, at Bresux
Bridge $50 and at Brousssrd go.
We are informed that q large
quantity of cotton that should
have come to this place, went to
Bresux Bridge and Broussard.
One load of cotton weighing two
thousand pounds brought IS more
for the load which is quite an in
ducement to the farmer to 60 q
little further to sell bis product.
We cannot see why there is such
q large difference in the price of
cotton, unless some people are
working for money and others for
glory. But whstever may be the
cause or the reason for the differ
ence, the planters are always look
ing for the highest market.

I'VE use the following process
in mixing and making the blocks:
Spread the equivalent of five bags

while one boy sprinklss water on,
one or two shovel the mixture till

will enable one to get it just right.
The tamping should be thorough,
all corners tamped in solid. Then
the molds are opened and the
blocks, on the palates, carried to
the skids where they are left till
the next day; then sprinkle them
with water. After two days on
the skids they may be removed
from the palates and stacked nm.

for four or five days given all the
water they will take each day.

County School Superintendent
Frank K. Welles this morning receiv-
ed a circular letter from R. F. Rob-
inson, superintendent of the educa-
tional exhibit of the Lewis and Clark
fair, outlining the general plan of the
display. 1t is the object of the de-
partment, says Mr.. Robinson. to make
a complete and thoroughly graded ex-
hibit from kindergarten to the uni
versity. So far as practicable the ex-
hiibtion will be arranged by counties.
The county will be the unit of or
ganiZation for school exhibits, al
though cities and towns may make
separate displays under the special
supervision of the county. All ex-
hibits will be assembled, arranged and
labeled at some one point in the coun-
" and from there shipped to the ex-
position grounds. Papers that best
illustrate the county plan of exhibit
will be placed in cabinets, others will
be bound at the expense of the state
commission, Continuing MIR. Robert
son says:
The Arrangement will be by sub
jects and grades. beginning with the
lowest grade. A typewriter state
ment or outline of the work to be ex-
hibited in cabinets is essential to a
correct understanding and presenta-
tion of the exhibit.
Exhibit cabinets are to be purchas-
ed by exhibitors. This department
recommends that these cabinets be
kept at some convenient county To-
cation after the exposition closes and
become the center for the reception /
of meritorious work which may be |
supplied from time to time to the end |
that the exhibit idea may be made a |
useful adjunct for encouraging excel |
lence of pupils work.
''It is the desire of the department |
that the Oregon educational exhibit |
shall honestly represent the real work |
of the schools in the best way possi-
BILE. Local industries should form |
the foundation for a large share of |
language and geography work. Grain |
farming. stock raising, fruit and veg
etable culture. become at once the
choicest of topics for written work. |
