Waste in school Is chiefly found In the

teacher is to prepare the way, when
assigning lesson for rapid, efficient

The best channel up the river from

bound together with chain cables.
Several tugs and steamers fitted out
for battle during the summer and fall
Of 1861 patrolled the river above the
line of hulks, and farther upstream,
in actual waiting while Farragut was
securing northern harbors for his
ships, lay the new ironclad Louisiana,
mounting twelve guns, and the pom

ton clad, with heavy bales around
their engines and machinery, complet-

other ironclad, the Mississippi. was on
the ways and nearly finished.
Farragut reached the army rendez-

until March IS were the war steamers
assigned to him on the scene.

On the 10th of April the fleet was

miles of Fort Jackson. The mortar
boats went into hiding on both banks
of the river, curtained or disguised by
the branches of trees. The range to
Fort Jackson was one mile and hair
and to Fort Philip two miles.
Porter's mortars opened fire upon the
Confederate forts guarding the chan

bombardment the Federal vessels Pi-

The third bl-mOnthly meeting of the

was held in tho High School auditor
ium on April 18th. The meeting was
called to order by Vice President Fern

singing and devotional exercises. Ex-
State School Commissioner j. w. Zel-
Ter, of Columbus, gave an address on
"The Key to Success in Management.
Teachers of success in school would
learn the tactful, skillful management.
The secret of this success Is u three-fold
preparation of the teacher: ~
Through knowledge of the subject
matter taught, (2) professional prepar-
alton, CD daily preparation which rea-
lily is the key to success.
Teaching isn't simply telling and
talking. 1t is not craming nor storing
the mind with knowledge. Teaching
Is causing pupils to know, TO think, to
act and to feel. knowledge must be
to the mind what food is to the body,
which is to nourish. A truth to have
the greatest effect upon child must
shine through the personality ot dhe
teacher. The personality of the teach
or touches the personality OF the child
and the teachers mind and child's
mind must be communicating. Wise
and skillful daily preparations keeps
the mind fresh and vigorous and pro
notes bodily health. This kind OF
preparation lightens the burden ofdis'
cipline.

the knowledge that I was in the very
heart Of the enemy's camp, with grim,
stern duties to perform and return
journey to accomplish, kept me nerved
to a point where l thought Of little
else than my task. But now l dared
not remain Indifferent, and, indeed, the
enthusiasm of my companions became
contagious, and l Joined with them
eagerly, as they hurried forth to the
best point of view. Once there the
sight revealed aroused me to an en-
thusiasm scarcely less than that Of
those crowding about. Few, indeed,
have ever witnessed so gorgeous q

Well out in the stream lay the YES
sells Of war-the Fanny, Roebuck and
Vigilant-togethe with a long line o.
transports, stretching as far as the
eye could see, flags flying, and decks
crowded with spectators. The pageant
came down with the tide, moving in
three divisions to the inspiring music
of several bands, the oars Of galleys
and barges keeping exact intervals.
As they passed US the officers beside
me named the various occupants. In
the leading galley were Sir William,
Lord Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, the Of
ficers of their suites and some ladies'.
In the last of the boats stood General
Knyphausen, the Hessian commander.
Between these were flat-boats, covered
with green cloth, loaded with ladies'
and gentlemen, or else containing
bands. Six barges, darting here and
there, kept open space amid the
swarms of small boats. Everywhere
the eye swept over a riot Of color, and
the car caught a babel Of sound. AS
the last barge glided by the man next

chardist. having made thorough stu
dy of fruit growing, and his knowledge
is both theoretical and practical, as he
has had much experience growing fruit
He did not locate in Okanogan county
until he had carefully Investigated
various portions of the coast where
fruit growing is made specially from
British Columbia to southern Califor-
MIA After seeing the various fruit
districts and weighing every chance
of success promised by soil and eli
mate he decided that greater induce
ments were offered in the valley to the
man of small means desiring to go
into the business of fruit growing than
any other part of the Pacific coast. Mr..
Wingfield will not confne his efforts
at accommodating a fortune 10 fruit
growing alone, as he has entered into
a partnership with Del Wood, and will

A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.

The following communication from a
gentlemen who signs the name of "A
Friend" a tribute to the late Henry
Allen, whose death was mentioned in
the last issue of this paper, was re-
ceived too late to appear in the paper
of last week:
Henry Allen, better known as
Hank died all alone on New Year S
morning. He paid the debt we all have
to pay whether we are ready or not.
Hank was known far and wide for his
kindness to his fellow men, and was
always ready to do good Iced. AT
one time he was employed by the
government. and held an Important
position in the Spanish war. He had
seen much of the world, had good
education and had seen better days
He came TO the west in the early days
when the country was in the mad rush
for gold. The influences that surround
ed the kind hearted Hank caused him
to acquire habits the worse for him
self VITA all that there was a warm
spot IN the heart OF Hank that will
be long remembered by those who
knew him best. He was borne to his
last resting place by few friends
meath the sod that rests on his bosom.

l. o. u. DEBT SETTLED.

The Conconully Record states that
the old |. D. U. account that has fig
ured for several years as an asset in
the county treasurers reports has
been adjusted and those significant
letters will be missing from the flu
ture annual statements of the man
who handles the county funds. These
representations of Indebtedness were
inherited from the John M. Pitman
regime. Mr.. Pitman held the office
of county treasurer for two terms and
when he stepped down and out there
was little matter of shortage in his
accounts of something like $1,000 rep
resented by his promises to pay. There
was quite sensation at the time over
this discrepancy in the accounts of
Honest JOHN" and the ugly balance
on the wrong side of the leger was the
occasion for much misery for the old
man. He always claimed that he new
er received the money charged against
him, and was made the goat by others
who misappropriated the cash. Few
who know John Pitman, one of the
pioneers of the county, really believe
he was crininally guilty of wrohg do
ing AS an accountant he was not an
expert. There was some slackness in
the methods then in vogue in running
the office, and errors could occur that

". X. STRUBLE AT LEWISTON

Rev. w. r. Struble. whose name Is
still fresh in the memory OF residents
of this county where he spanked tor
time in the newspaper armament
as editor, first of the Conconully Rec
ord, and afterwards of the Riverside
Argus, is now doing the promotion
act at lewiston, Idaho. Mr.. Struble
is an easy, graceful Tor
and his work as community boomer
cannot I've eXcelled. His talent while
in this county was not applied to pro-
noting the country as it might have
been to the general good, as he tlOlr-
and bitterly contested county seat re-
moval fight was stirring up the county
from center to circumference, and his
pen was entirely devoted to the losing
side in that memorable conflict. Since
leaving Okanogan county he has been
secretary and press agent fora number
of commercial clubs, and is now send
ing out publicity dope from Lewiston.
Mr. Struble is most entertaining and
'casant gentleman personally, but
lacks balance wheel in the matter of
handling finances. He seems to have
no idea Of the value of money. His
disposition to spend money is based
upon millionaire bank account,
while the funds at his command are
limited to an ordinary income This
rather tends to extravaganza, keep
ing him constantly in the hole. What
is stated here is set down in all kind
ness, and is not intended as refiec-
ton upon his reputation. Mr. Struble
is a man capable of getting ahead in
the world, and would do SO if he ex-
ercised as much judgment in hand
ling cash as he displays ability in
handling the pen.

GOOD FOR WINTER WHEAT.

E. B. Newland, the sage of the hill
tops near Nelson, and one democrat in
the county that has not been weaned
from his allegiance to party by new
tangled isms, braved the chill blasts of
the sample of winter on tap last week
and drove down to Oroville. He was
in very cheerful lframe of mind as
the early snow fell before the ground
was thoroughly frozen, making the con-
ditions primo for winter wheat, and
Mr.. Newland makes specially OF
growing that kind of grain. He pre-
diets a bumper crop for the Nelson
country next fall, which will help
some.

Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Gregg left

Oregon, after having spent fortnight

in the future the Greggs may return
to northern Okanogan, as they have a
very kindly feeling towards the coun-
try and people, having spent many
years at Loomis, but Mr.. Gregg is nice
ly located at Bay City, having good
and growing business, and does not
feel justified in deserving the field at
the present time.
