Coyner is again wielding the rod, and "teachine the vounsr idea how "to shoot" at Cottonwood Springs in Dist. No 2. Though his manner is quite eccentric, and his methods nurelv oncinal. he is a successful teacher, and in this district has given the patrons satisfaction. There are numerous teachers of greater pretensions than he. who ereatlv magnify their profession, but who could profitably take lessons from Mr. Coyner in school govern ment, and peculiar but successful methods of instruction. A man of bright ideas, who with more careful deliberation will prove eminently successful. The people of Dickens, school District No. 60, have employed Geo. EL JBickford, brother of J. W. Bickford. the agent at Dickens, to teach their next term of school. He is lately from Missouri and comes well recommended as a teacher. This district has a good school hou3e, well eouipped. and there is nothing to prevent their having a first class school. We hope that, Mr. Bickford is a compara tive stranger in the coimty, he will use his energy to make for himself a name as an instructor, and teacli the school in this district so that his services shall be in great demand. Miss Mary A. Day takes her old pos ition as teacher in District No. 12. The Directors of this district have long ago learned that it is not wise to exchange a teacher with whom they are acquainted, and who labors hard to give them satis faction, for a stranger of whom they know nothing, consequently they retaiu Miss D;iy term after term, aud they act verg senVibl' for she is n good cflicient tearher, and one '.vho will faith fu ly dis charge all the duties devolving upon her. The Superintendent has not had the pleasurure of visiting the school iu this district, not because he has not wanted to do so, but simply because the county is extremely large and he was uot able to reach that locality when the school was iu session. Miss Lida Campbell who taught the last term of school at Gannett, and who since that has been very ill at her home in Garfield, is now better and fast regain ing her usual health and strength. Though she does not intend to teach again for some time, Miss Campbell was extremel' sorry that she was unable to attend the Normal for she realizes the. great benefit to bo obtained from meetings with other teachers, from an interchange of ideas, and especially from the in structors pmploj'cd t tike charge of the work in the Institute. Miss Campbell will attend school at Lincolu during the coining winter, and probably afterwards again enter the profession. No. 9 are judicious enough to recognize the benefits derived from a teacher who is able to properly inssruct the children who nttend the school, consequently they have re-engaged Mits Maggie Elder to take charge of the school during the fall term. Miss Elder gave general satisfac tion in this district last spring and summer and we confidently expect uow that she is acquainted with the pupils, and they have learned her methods, she will be able to benefit them in a much greater degree than before. It is very unwise to frequently change teachers and the sooner the people pay attention to this, the better it will be for their children. The bonds, voted in district No. 70. and forwarded to to tho State Auditor a few days since, are registered and returned to the district, so that it will not be long before the school building will be com pleted and the people of this district will have school accommodations for their .children. With this object in view, they have worked long and faithfully, and we sincerely hopp that now as they are so near the realization of their desires, nothing may arise to prevent them from entering iuto a full enjoyment of what the' have so earnestly coveted. Mr. Welch s especialty to be commended for the active and successful work which he has performed in the organization of the district and the securing of a school for the children. The people of Somerset, residing in district 58, are making a determined effort to secure a school in their district, Bonds to the amount of $500 have been voted, and every effort is being made to have school accommodation for the twenty children residing in the district with as little delay as possible. As soon as the bonds are sold, a good frame school house will be erected and, at least, a three month's term of school, will be held yet this fall aud the early part of the winter. When the right persons take hold of a project it is speedily brought to a success ful termination, and it will not be long before -No. 53 will boast of as good a school as is found in any country district in the county. The indications are that an effort will soon be made to establish a village school in the town of Wellfleet. In fact we are informed that a meeting is now called to take into consideration the moving of the school from its present location to a site procured within tho limits of tho town. Nothing pleases us more than activity along educational lines, and we commend the Wellfleet people for their energetic action. Push education to the front in every possible manner, and the county will soon rejoice in the intelligence aud industry of the rising generation. If we all pull together, we can make the schools of this county superior to any in the SUUe. School District No. 23 has employed Mr. W. A. Miller to teach their fall term of school, and though we have no knowledge of the young gentleman's ability to conduct and govern a school, never having seen him engaged in practical work, we have reason to believe that the Directors of the District have made an excellent choice, and that Mr . Miller will prove an efficient teacher, conducting the school with credit to himself and satisfaction to the p itrons. The young man did good work in the Institute, displaying more than ordinary knowledge of the subjects discussed and exhibiting a thirst for knowledge truly commendable. Ii is a source of considerable pleasure to record that Miss Jennie Adamson is teaching the school in district No. 11, better known as Zook neighborhoods The pleasure exists in the fact that Miss Jennie was formerly a pupil of the present County Supt, and it always delights him to know that any of those who attended school idnrraj? his term as principal, are capable of. filing any lm oortant position. Theris 'no question about this young lady's ability to occupy the position or teacner w any scnooi in Lincoln county, and werare confident that the patrons of the school in No. 11 will get good value for;the expense of the term which Miss Adamsoaj teaches. Miss Cora Ferree, is hired to teach the school in district No. ?0jftud from what we saw of her work While in attendance at the Institute, the directors have uot made a mistake ia.amploying her. She has not had theexperience which some teachers have hadbat she possesses that which is one of the? great requisites necessary to insure success good sense. In addition to this she, is very much in earnest and deeply interested in the work, and if she continues in the profession for a lengthened period, we. predict for her a most successful career. Her efforts at the Institute were praiseworthy, and though not as highly educated as some, she has no reason to feel ashamed of her educational attainments. Miss Dema Kirk who was. in attendance at tho Institute durings'the whole session and exerted herself to gain the greatest possible benefit.from the instruc tion given, has been employed to teach in Dist. No. 61, the locality known as the Polzel neighborhood. Miss Kirk was evidenly to the.indnd born, in other words, her winnmgt manner and quiet self-possession, are ijco qualifications requisite to enable her to do successful work in the schoolroom. While it is absolutely necessary -to possess certaiu qualifications, it is also very necessary that tho teacher shouldhave an immense fund of general information, a large treasury from which fto' draw so as to create an interest in the minds of the pupils. THE PRESS EXCURSION. Incidents of the Trip as I Saw Tliom. Portland is a nourishing and fast grow ing city of about 05,000 inhabitants, very beautifully .situated ou the Willamette river a little "above the point where this river coming from the south and running north between the Cascade Mountains and the coast range empties iuto the Columbia river. The city is well built, the residence portion far surpassing any city we saw on the trip. The scenery is.: nil anyone could ask Portlaud stretches: along the river four miles but is not very wide, the slope from front street oudc is gradual for a mile, tlierr-tlio grace increases until an elevation of several -hundred feet U reached, this ground is terraced and hen is located the homes ofrttie wealthy, a id they are elegaUt homes too. One can look at these nomesana realize mere is an end to luxury beautifuK cotl' resi like contradicting the statement mak by our -escort "more' wealth in Portland, than any town in the United States." Our party stopped at the St. Charles. It is said to be a first class hotel, but if any of our part)' considered it such they kept still about it, there is building a very fiue hotel, one that would bo an nruametit to any city, and to know that the Viibird when completed is to be run on different principels is very satisfactory to the Press. The forenoon in Portland was sut-nt by tho Press looking through Chin.i town' some thing that never grows tiresome. There is always something new to be seen. China town in Portland, Inwever, is not what it is in Sanfraucisco, the quper little sausage that look like raiee,the dried shrimps aud nickeled duck eggs are never found outside of a china town. Very lit tle fruit is seen in their stores they seem to have a weakness for things that willkeep such as dried cucumbers, watermelon seeds and rice. The Chinese own a thea tre building here and every night a resi dent troupe plays to small houses judg ing from the attendance while we were there. After looking through their dingy, smoked begrimmed quarters and eating some of their dried shrimps and other delicacies and jisking questions enough to worry even a meek and patient son of the orient, we sought dinner :ril rest preparatory to a ride about the. city at rh invitation of the Board of Tr.i I . This drive lasted until six o'clock we were shown all the principal public buildings the houses of the Millionaire m 1 Port land heights. These heights overlook the city and afford a grand and magnifi cent view of the valley and distant mountains, snow clad Mts. Hood and St. Ranier especially showing grandly. Portland is perfection as a city I don't see how anything could be added that would improve it. I fell in love with the place at sight and haven't yet recovered from the infatuation. That night about twenty-five of our party through the kindness of M.ij. llendershot. attended the Chinese theatre. We were introduced to Le Pin, the owner of the theatre, who is quite Amer icanized and worth one million dollars, ne knows enough to appreciate the press for he admitted our party free of charge, bowed and smiled as if he were glad to show us attention. We were pleased at this and thought we had a bargain ; before the performance was over we concluded Lee Pin had the best of it. It would take a better writer than I to write up this theatre as it should be tho orchestra sits behind the actors on the stage, and how the actors have become hardened enough to play so close to that music will always remain a mystery to me. The instruments consisted of a peg with some kind of a skin stretched over it, two cymbals, some thing that resembled a violin and two big horns that gavy out sounds too mournful for anything but a vault or sepulchre. The artists pounded, screached and blowed on this brilli int collection of instruments regardless of everything there were no stars on the stage, although they told us this was an excellent troupe there are no curtains or flies, and the play is always in one act and usually lasts until two or three in tho morning. It is needless to say we didn't stay to see it out. Sometimes these Chinese plays are played on for years without being finished, then the children of the troupe take up where the parents left off aud keep right on until it is com pleted . The men in the audience had their hats on while the orchestra had off hats and coats and worked away like pile drivers. All the actors were men, the costume? striking and dazzling, the men who took the parts of female actresses played the parts well I suppose, but all the conversation and singing was lost on the audience, for the din kept up by the music was simply horrible and I doubt if a Chinaman could have made out a word tended on the invited party. that was said. Occasional' the cymbal men would stop a minute, for lack of strength no doubt, then we could hear a few notes in an unearthly sing song tone, then all was lost in the clang, clatter and groans of this incessant noise called music. There were a few Chinese ladies in the audience who smoked cigarettes and seemed to take little interest in the performance on the stage. Some of the party said they understood the play sufficiently to take an interest, but I doubt it very much. . The next morning we started up the Willamette valley to Ashland oyer the Oregon and California railroad. Our first stop was Salem, where we were met at the depot by citizens with carriages and driven to tho fruit farm of S. A. Clark, where the plum trees were bending under their burdens. This orchard contains fifty acres and is planted to plums, pears and peaches. Here we saw trees with every branch propped to keep the tree from breaking, while the ground under neath was covered with fruit so thickly it would have been impossible to step without stepping on plums. The pears and peaches were very nice but not ripe enough to eat. The scenery at this place is very fine. The city of Salem, Salem and Howell prairies, Mt. Angel, Waldo Hills fringed by the Cascade range, made a grand panorama on one side, while with the hills and valleys of Polk and Yamhill counties on the other all dotted with immense fields of golden grain in termingled with clumps of timber, green fields and the brown strips of summer fallow, all combining to form a picture of lovliness long to be remembered. We were very glad indeed that we had decided to visit the Willimette valley, we certainly would have missed seeing the grandest strip of the western continent, and after visiting Salem we recognized the fact. On returning to the city we were taken to the Chemekete hotel where au excel lent lunch awaited us. At 2 o'clock the carriages wpre again brought nt and we were whirled around among the fruit and vegetable gardens, and wheat fields of Silem Prairie, to the insane asylum, penitentiary, orphans home and other public buildings and "back to the State house at 4 o'clock. Here was assembled a large number of ladies and gentlemen of the city and after w had been taken over the building and admired the architecture and general arrangement of everything we were seated in tho hali of representatives and a short programme oppned. The mayor in a neat speech ex- to the visitors a hearty welcome part of the people of Salem and remarks from members of the Short speeches were made bv the pres asa the citizens ot batem all good but space forbids giving them. Rev. J. L. Parish, 84 years old and fiTt years a resident of Oregon, recounted his exper iences and mentioned the possibilities of Oregon iu a pleasing manner. He was a fine looking and well preserved . old gentlenmi, which surely speaks well for, n uV m ate- of - r'onmt.mti. But our stay in ihi.s beautiful city must neecls be brief. Reluctantly w-e. returned to the cars, parting with the hospitable people ot Salem with regret, for at no place on our journey had we received so warm , kind and effectionate treatment. Salem will be remembered by our party as one of the best towns we visited. It has an extensive fanning couutry adjacent, good churches and schools, a magnificent water power, healthy location and beautiful scenery, fine water works, rail and w-iter communications with the entire markets of the Pacific coast. My n"Xt will be Ashland and tho trip back to Portland. Mus. L. A. S. P.irents should be careful that their children do not contract colds during the fall or early winter mouths. Such colds weaken the lungs and air passages, making the child much more likely to contract other colds during the winter. It is this su ccessiou of colds that cause catarrh and bronchitis or paves the was for consumption. Should a cold be contracted, loose no time but cure it as quickly as possible. A fifty cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will cure -iny cold in a few days aud leave tho respiratory organs strong and healthy. For sale by A. F. Streitz aud Dr. Lnngley, North Platte.
