Ore. , Feb. 10. The Orcson- lan gives an account of the experience of a missionary in keeping cows In Alaska , as related by Captain A. M. Drown , a retired army officer who has spent many years In the north : "During the summers acid win ters of 1S91-92 , " ho said , "I had been su perintendent of a ollver , lead and gold mine several hundred miles beyond the Yukon , and Into In the following summer had bcca brought down from near the Ilehrlog otralt lo St. Michaels with several of my mon , where wo were to ship on the Alaska Com mercial company's steamship St. 1'aul for San Francisco. I had to wait for ten days or two weeks at St. Michaels before the St. Paul's arrival , and whllo doing ao beguiled the tedium of the rather moaotonoualy- f > avalag , tlmo In exchanging experiences with the % arlous employes of the fur corii- pany and studying Eskimo llfo as I saw It at St. Michaels. "Several dajs before the sailing of the St. Paul there came into the fort from the upper Yukon by barge , or canoe , a delega tion of Jesuit priests , accompanied by two or three nuns , one of the latter ofwjiom wo had for a shipmate when we Balled for San Francisco , and who proved to bo In telligent and cheerful company during the voyage. "Father Barnums , S. J. , who had n mis sion far up on the Yukon , was of the party , and came down to St. Michaels for supplies for his mission folk , and much to our regret wo had to part with him when wo sailed , though wo had many a good story and tale from him , full of fun and pathcs , BO long aa wo were together. "Father Teal , to old gentleman , at that tlmo 72 years of age , and who had the Jan uary of the year before frail and old as ho looked crossed on foot from Circle City to Juneau , was vnu ui uui tu ut,1' * " uiluu kit. Paul , and as. the good father and myself had served some years before together in Montana he as n priest and I as a soldier- it ceo bo well Imagined that wo had much that was pleasant to talk over ici calling up icmlnlscences of life in wild Montana , and of the wilder northwestern Alaska. COWS SUFFERED. "Whllo discussing the resources , climatic and other conditions of northern and north western Alaska , whllo in port at Unalaska , the father asked us of we had suffered much with the cxtrcmo cold and lengthy winters of 1891-92 , where I had been operating , and , having had the information desired from me , ho remarked that the winter just spoken of had been on the upper Yukon not only unusually long , but extremely severe , and that his thrco Jersey cows had almost starved to death before spring opened. "I was surprised to hear him talk of keep ing Jersey cows 1,800 miles or more in the interior of northern Alaska , and Inquired how ho had taken them there , and had pulled them through the long winter. He said : " 'Some of my good friends in San Fran cisco , three years ago , made mo a present of three fine high-bred Jersey cows , and the officers of the Alaska Commercial company , always kind to the missionaries , rcfifirdlesr of denomination , transported them for mo from San Francisco to the mission , and there I have kept them until now. Hut last winter I thought I should Icso the whole of them. The usual food supply for my cattle sent up to mo did not half take them through the long winter , as the summer season of the year before , * as you well know , was very short , and the quick growth of Arctic grass was almost a failure. What little I did get , the cows ate up long before Christmas , and after that the mill feed did not last long. It was not long after It had been exhausted be fore my poor little sukies ran about the reservation looking so thin that you could almost read a newspaper through their at tenuated frames , and I thought they must surely die. The Lord is always good , not only to these creatures made after his own Imago , but even to the poorest of the dumb brutes , and ho was good to my little cous and cared for them for me , and in n most re markable manner , cs I shall relate. DRIED SALMON' AND OIL. " 'Tho tribes on the Yukon with us are like these with you at the Behrlng strait , and , as you know , live principally on dried salmon and seal oil. During1 the summers they catch and hang up and dry thousands of salmcm for the winter. Well , our folks had their usual supply of salmon ( thous ands of 'them ' ) hanging over their sealskin lines to bo taken by villacers at any tlmo they were required for use , cither In the village or to be taken on their sledge Jour neys with them , and a few1 hundred or oven thousand disposed of In any manner would cut no figure with them. " 'Ono very cold morning I was stand ing at the door of the little hut used for a schoolhouse for the Indian children , when nun nf mv rnlv.q nriRKpil inn nml T niu * 1.n go to one of the soalskln lines and try , by extending her neck and tongue , to reach one of the dried llsh. I went over1 to where she was and. reaching up to the line , toot off ono of thn froren flsh , broke It In two and handed her the hnlf of It. Much to my surprise as well as Joy , she te It with a relish , I gave her directly the remaining half and she ate that also , after which I fed her thrco more good largo salmon , and , calling the other two cows. I fed them the same number each , and so kept on feeding them twice each day for the winter. By ( Joorgo , I had lots of goad milk and cream all winter , and long before spring sot In , had thrco nice , fat , little Jersey cowc. ' "I wish to state for the benefit nf the reader. " said Captain Brown , "thit I have since learned that In Labrador -and In parts of Lapland , cows are habitually fed on dried flsh. so the story , coming from the very truthful source I consider It has , and , bear ing In mind that cattle are fed with flsh In the other countries mentioned , can hardly bo considered ' ' " very 'fishy.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of Education was held last night to hear the report of experts on the Hawthorne school heating apparatus and to Investigate charges against Teacher C. M , Johnson filed by Captain Jamas Austin. At the request of the board Captain Aus tin filed his charges In writing , alleging that Johnson had used language unbecom ing n gentleman before the pupils of the class and had also punished his daughter Carrlo unnecessarily. J. H. VanDusen , the regular attorney for the board , quoitlonod 1ho witnesses for the board and Rev. Irving P. Johnson acted as attorney for Teacher Johnson. Miss Eunice Ensor , daughter of Mayor Ensor , was the first witness. She testified that on the day In question the grammar lesson was In progress and a sentence had been written on the black board which Miss Austin claimed she could not see to read. Miss Austin asked the teacher what It was and she was told to go to the board and see. This she declined to do and was told again by the teacher. After declining a second time Mr. Johnson walked down the nlslo and told Miss Austin to rise. This she did and then the teacher took hold of her shoulder and turned her around. Ml , s Austin objected to this pro ceeding and told the teacher to keep his hands off her. She was then told to cither go 'to ' < the blackboard or else go home. Rather than obey Miss Austin left the room. Miss Ensor stated that she had never heard Mr. Johnson say anything out of the way or use any Improper 'language in address ing the class. A iuinbcr of other wltncrecs told about the samestjjr'y ns to the handling of Miss Austin. Air fpt using Improper lan guage , some of this , pupils told about John son having said to { 'hp class at one time when a great many .questions were being asked that any fool | could ask questions. Another time he llk&tfcd the heads of the class to a sewer plpej''becauso the lesson of the previous day hjuyh'ot been retained. Harry Gardner apd TJryantMorton told about having had tTotiale with Mr. Johnson , but admitted that'\t'Hvas ' \ ' their own fault.

Ho considered Johnson a good teacher and felt that the pupils * now respected him. Acting for the defendant Rev. Johnson stated that he did not care to introduce any witnesses , as ho considered these examined had told all there was about the question under consideration. Captain Austin stated that if hla daughter disobeyed'He ' thought slhe ought to have been sent to the superintendent instead of Ibelng dealt -with by a teacher only a few years older than herself. Member Check of the board announced that ho was In a measure responsible for the investigation. Evpr since Johnson had been tendhlng there had , ho oald , been com plaints about the manner in which the room was handled , and when the Austin complaint was made he thought It n good tlmo to take the matter up and make a thorough in vestigation. Ho considered all the evidence introduced In favor of the teatihcr nnd did not think that Johnson had exceeded his authority. Upon m&tlom of Member Freltng a resolution sustaining Teacher Johnson was unanimously passed and the teacher wan requested ! to enforce the rules of the school with as niudli tact as possible. C. A.
