TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The public school has a vacation
next week while the teachers attend
the annual teachers institute, at Con-
conully. Somehow the law providing
for these Institutes, which no doubt,
are admirable institutions for the i'm
provement OF the school service, seems
to be lame. The institute might be
held just prior to the opening of school
and there is no reason why it should
not be equally as beneficial to all con-
cernei at that date as at any other,
Under the present practice the insti-
tute is called after the schools have
been open only three or four weeks,
causing break in the studies at a
time when teachers and pupils are just
fairly getting started on the school
year course. 1t puts the children on
the street for weeek and requires
anothr week, or more, for the machin-
cry of the school to adjust itself and
start up again smoothly. With all the
boasted advanced systems and meth
DDS in the operation of the public
schools of this day and age there are
a number of changes that might be
made to the advantage of this great
common educational institution.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.

Monday the announcement was made
by DIR. F. A. Beale that Cecilia Pratt,
the. l2-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. S. A. Pratt, was very seriously
i'll with diphtheria. Following the an
nouncement the school trustees issued
orders for the closing of the public
school for the balance of the week,
and as the teachers attend the insti-
tute next week there will be two
weeks vacation. The patient has new
er been exposed to the disease, living
some distance from the residence
where case occurred a few weeks
ago. She was pupil in Miss Rashs
department, and attended school reg
ularly until last Friday, when she de-
veloped symptoms of sore throat
which later was declared by the at
tending physician to be diphtheria
The report created CONSERVATION
among parents, and almost all the pu-
pills in the department that the Pratt
girl attended remained out of school
Monday afternoon, after the nature of
the disease had been made public.
Even if the trustees had not decided
to close the school the attendance
would have dwindled down to very
few scholars. A strict quarantine has
been instituted and great care will be
taken to prevent the further spread of
one Of the most dreaded diseases
known to the medical profession. If
other cases should develop it will
probably be necessary to close
churches and prevent all public gath
erings.

THE SAME OLD HAY.

A number of old friends and
acuuaintances of Gov. NJ. E. Hay meet
him and exchanged greetings during
his all too brief stay in Oroville. For
many years Governor Hay was en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
Wilbur, over in Lincoln county, where
he built up very large business and
laid the foundation for comfortable
fortune. In those early days major
itv of the people who sparsely settled
the Okanogan country had occasion to
go to Wilbur to do their trading, and
through that means the governor built
ND a large trade and became widely
acquainted throughout this county.
Those who knew him before his enter
ing upon public life found in the gov
ernor the same jovial, genial, hearty
NJ. f. Hay of the days when he was the
big merchant of Wilbur. Time is treat
ing him kindly, and while he has a
more mature appearance than when
the writer first met him, some 22 or
% years ago, he is now only in the
vigor of middle age, and shows little
marks of the flight of years. His trip
at this time has no political slgnln-
canoe. Indeed he would not talk poll
tics when approached on the subject.
His mission was largely to get ac-
uuainted with country that he mas
known of for nearly a quarter of a
century, but never before visited. Then
the controversy over state road No 10,
which was said to be holding up rail-
road construction. and the published
reports in regard to which he declares
to have been largely exaggerated and
almost without foundation, induced
him to go over the line In addition to

DID YOU SEE THE COMET!

The comet is surely on exhibition.
AT least 1t was last week at the be-
witching hour of a. N. The writer
has not had the hardihood to roll out
recently and ascertain If the heavenly
visitor is still doing business at the
old stand. When observed the comet
was on the eastern horizon, with the
fiery tail, not any too luminous, float
ing backward toward the zenith. 1t
was rather hazy, yet plainly discerna-
Bile. Some observers report having
seen another of these celestial stran-
gers in the western sky week or two
ago. and there are those who claim
to have seen several. AS the observa-
tionS were made at an unreasonable
hour after a night out with merry
men this evidence is taken with
shade of suspicion. Anyhow, there is
a comet loafing around overhead. Few
mentions have been made of it among
exchanges, and it is just possible that
the comet Is travelling around in this
upper country especially for the de-
lectation of Okanoganites. This val
ley has the best there is, and comet
more or less only adds to the general
attractions
