An Oregon Cloudburst.

A MOTHER AND THREE CHILDREN DROWNED IN THE RUSHING WATERS,

A correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner, writing from Mitchell, Oregon, June 7, says: I send you herewith a few items in regard to the late waterspout in this section. It occurred on the afternoon of June 2nd, and caused about $30,000 worth of damage, and drowned a woman and three children. It washed away two houses and a host of outbuildings. Two teams coming up bridge cr@ek were washed away and the teamsters lost three wagons, nine out of eleven horses and all the freight. One team was washed down five miles, and after being in the water seven- teen hours was foundina drift. One of the horses was alive and unhurt, the other was dead, but as they were attached the harness was saved, The body of the woman was found 40 miles below where she was drown- ed, and two of the children were found within five miles, The other has not been found yet. Of the two that was rescued, ove, a girl about 10 years old, was found in the hills by a neighbor's girl, and a boy about 5 was found in the sagebrush next day by some men. He was accompanied by adog, and said the dog howled so all night that he could not sleep. When ask- ed how he came there he said his mother had gone to his grandma's, and his brother to Myers’ (a neighbor) above. The oldest boy of the family proved himself a hero, as he waded out with three children, and while trying to help his mother and another little one, the child fell back in the water, and the efforts on the part of him and his mother cost them their lives.

School Tax!

Sir,—There is an old saying that two wrengs wont make a right. Very true. Does it not appear to you that two rights will make a wrong

Our School Act is an admirable one. The system of equalization is certainly above controversy. I believe that the Public Schools—the *‘ecmmon schools’’—should be liberally supported by the school district. Now, Sir, you know that of all the difticult things to do, collecting school bills is the most difficult. People will submit to hav- ing their eye teeth drawn; but they will not submit to paying for fuel and teachers supplement to accommodate other people's children, They—forgetting that public schools are a public blessing, where the youths of all sects are trained for public usefulness—will not pay towards the sup- port of the school; because (as they argue) they have no interest in the school—that is, no children to go.

Now, Sir, you will say, is not the law very plain on that point! Those fellows should be sued at once, and made pay as the law directs. Just here is where the trouble comes in, of which I beg to make a remark or two, and throw out a few sug gestions.

A man owes the school for two or three years. You use every argument to induce him to pay up. No use. He has got no scholars.

Well, you sue that man and recover the amount with all expenses. What next. Sir, I tell you that, in nine cases out of ten, your life is not safe, and your property is sure to suffer, A case happened, not a hundred miles from here, afew years ago, which will, I think, bear on this point. One or two of the ratepayers could not be forced to pay towards the support of the school. The trustees sued them and gained it, of course. We'l, what next. In the middle of harvest that Secretary of Trus- tees found his new reaper, worth $160, smashed and eut into pieces in his field. Others had their sheep killed and their barns burnt dowr.

Well, what of it. Carry out the law, you say. Isay no. School trustees, as a rule, are not so brave, so daring, as to march into the cannon’s mouth. Life is sweet. Well, what’s to be done now / Here is where my suggestion comes in. Abolish the school tax and in its place give us a land tax, and utilize that land tax, or a fair proportion of it, for school purposes.

Let the trustees (as they do now) call the annual school meet- ing, do their business, and vote

a sum of money for school purposes, con- sistent with the amount of taxes levied on the school district, send a report or notice to the Education Office, and let the Govern- ment collect those taxes and pay inio the Trustees the amount so voted. This in brief is, in my opinion at least, a far better way of supporting the schools than the present system under existing circum- stances. As it now is, a few—a very few— have got to bear the whole burden, and many who are far better able to contribute are let go stock free.

My vbject in writing this short and hasty letter is notso much from any good that may accrue from it, as to call the attention of every well disposed school officer on the Island to the fact that, unless a change is made in the matter of school tax, our com- mon schools will suffer loss, notwithstand- ing our excellent school law.

| hope that others may see it their duty to let their voice be heard on this subject, and by their united efforts bring about a system which will bring our schools up to a proper standard.

Yours respectfully, Rate Payer.

East Point, July 16, 1884.

Dundas Notes.

The last rain has done some great good to the cereal crops around here, and the late grains are beginning to look well, but has been an injury to the potato crops.

As Alexander Matin, Esq., was coming home late one night last week, he was at- tacked by a large bruin, not far from the Cross Roads. He got a great fright. Also, one Williams and Burdett were attacked by the same bruin. They had no firearms or any other defence but a shellaliah ; but they attacked the bear manfully and gave him a hard battle, but he escaped and is now at liberty, making a fearful havoc among the sheep and lambs.

Please tell the Patriot man that the ex- odus has taken a turn towards P. E, Island shores, as mostly all the young men and women are back, looking hearty. We are glad to sze our old friend Dan McDonald, E:q., back amongst us again to spend a partof the summer among his old friends and relations.

Mr. Hugh McLellan is doing a good busi- ness in this locality. He has just lately opened a line of first-class boots and shoes, manufactured by James Whitham «& Co., of Montreal, and purchased from their popular agent, Mr. J. W. Hodgson, of Charlottetown. All in want of a gvod article should give him a call.

All classes and breeds here are satisfied with the appointment of Hon. A. A. Me Donald to the gubernatorial chair.

Mr. Sweeny Morson has jstely taken to himself a wife from Upton. Success to the young folk.

Our schools are in good standing, with some change of teachers.

N. McLaren, Esq., is erecting a large store, as the old one is too small for his in- creased business.

D. Nicholson, Esq., has lately imported a large assortment of Canadian tweeds, and also Island factory cloth. Any person wanting a good article would do well to give himacall. He has also other goods, too numerous to mention, and says that the N. P. does not come nesr bim and likes it.
