J. Tiffany, Esq., Superintendent of Public Schools, asking my opinion as to the right of the County Board of Education to adopt any text-book not already adopted and in use. I have carefully examined the statute now in force, and the constitution as amended on March 15, 1888.

The question of adopting the Steele’s “abridged text book on physiology for use jn the publie schools of the county \was the principal thing considered. Mr. Carr was opposed to adopting the . books, claiming it could not be done legally, while the other members took the opposite ground. Messrs. Carr, Tiffany and Stewart had “a spirited discussion. Mrs. W. K. Spencer, Mrs. Edward Coleman, Mrs. M. D. Buck, Mrs. A.B. Dibble and Mr. P.T. Riley, of Grass Valley, and Mrs. Rapp, Mrs. Brodie and Prof. Gray, of this city, were there. The ladies favored the adoption of the works, Mr. Riley being opposed thereto on the same ground that Mr. Carr was. Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Riley made: able arguments on the subject. The motion to adopt prevailed by the affirmative vote of all the members but Mr. Carr. a Badly Plastered Laundry. The Truckee steam laundry is bending under a heavy load, and there is great rejoicing among the . . Mongolian washmen in the region where it is located. J. L. Lewison, one of the prime movers in the laundry association, has commenced a suit in the Superior Court to recover the sum of $623 (most of the claim being jfor money advanced to help along the work of construction and the balance being for merchandise) from the association.

The Journal of Commerce in a late issue has the following, which is worthy the attention of our ranchmen, who have already in two or three instances devoted some attention to the industry mentioned : Some attention has heretofore been paid in this State and Oregon to raising Angora goats for the this time the industry has not attained noteworthy proportions. From the fact that, there are numerous districts in this State well adapted to it, it would seem that there is a good opportunity for the extension of this business, which seems to promise better returns than wool-growing. As showing the:‘large demand which exists for mohair from Eastern manufacturers, we are by the courtesy of Messrs. Henry Doyle & Co., of San Francisco, permitted to print the following extract from a letter recently received by that firm from an extensive manufacturing house in Pawtacket, R. I., Messrs. D. Goff & Sons. These gentlemen say : ‘*We are now using large quan‘tities of mohair (which comes off . the Angora goat) in the ‘manufacture of mohair plushes for railroads and furniture. All these goods have been imported until about four years ago, when we began to make them, and since that time several other mills have been making mohair plush for furniture. So the demand for mohair, you can see, is very rapidly increasing. Now, as your mountainous country and climate, as well as. that of Oregon, is well adapted to the Angora goat, we wish ‘your people could» be made a pure article of mohair. We have. to import nearly all the mohair we are using from Turkey. Although there is a little grown in your State, yet the most of itis ofa low grade. We bought some that was grown in Oregon, of fine quality, some time ago, and we are now’ ready to buy one hundred thousand. pounds of same grade, and pay forty thousand dollars for it. We hope the time will soon come when we can get all our mohair, as well as our wool, from home production. The importations of both are very heavy at the present time, and the outlook just now points toa great increase~in the importations of mohair, unless the manufacturers can be supplied from home production. If, however, the present tariff is not .disturbed, we shall soon arrive at a time when all the wool and mohair, as well as goods, will be produced-by our own countrymen, and the profits of the same remain with our large American family. There never was a time when we were approaching that time so rapidly as now, and if any of your friends are engaged in the production of mohair and will send a few million of pounds to New York or Boston the coming year, it will finda ready sale at full prices.’’ —— Te Pubiic Meeting.

Then getting on a stood with his back to the wall of the jail and hitched the tied queue into an iron staple which is in the jail. Then he kicked away the block on which he had stood, and swung himself off into eternity. He was choked-to death, leaning forward with the queue pressing his neck, and with his toes resting on the floor of the jail. His hands were down at his side and clenched, which showed that he had nerved himself to the full determination not to save himself. es ‘ NOTWITHSTANDING much is said about the importance of a bloodpurifying medicine, possibly the matter has never claimed your serious attention.

The question of adopting the Steele’s “abridged text book on physiology for use jn the publie schools of the county \was the principal thing considered. Mr. Carr was opposed to adopting the . books, claiming it could not be done legally, while the other members took the opposite ground. Messrs. Carr, Tiffany and Stewart had “a spirited discussion. Mrs. W. K. Spencer, Mrs. Edward Coleman, Mrs. M. D. Buck, Mrs. A.B. Dibble and Mr. P.T. Riley, of Grass Valley, and Mrs. Rapp, Mrs. Brodie and Prof. Gray, of this city, were there. The ladies favored the adoption of the works, Mr. Riley being opposed thereto on the same ground that Mr. Carr was. Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Riley made: able arguments on the subject. The motion to adopt prevailed by the affirmative vote of all the members but Mr. Carr. a Badly Plastered Laundry. The Truckee steam laundry is bending under a heavy load, and there is great rejoicing among the . . Mongolian washmen in the region where it is located. J. L. Lewison, one of the prime movers in the laundry association, has commenced a suit in the Superior Court to recover the sum of $623 (most of the claim being jfor money advanced to help along the work of construction and the balance being for merchandise) from the association. Shaffer has put on an attachment for $299 alleged to be due for lumber. The Truckee Lumber Company is said to also have quite a bill . against the concern for lumber furnished. nena aalibeerancre _ Sunday Reading.

The Journal of Commerce in a late issue has the following, which is worthy the attention of our ranchmen, who have already in two or three instances devoted some attention to the industry mentioned :

Some attention has heretofore been paid in this State and Oregon to raising Angora goats for the this time the industry has not attained noteworthy proportions. From the fact that, there are numerous districts in this State well adapted to it, it would seem that there is a good opportunity for the extension of this business, which seems to promise better returns than wool-growing. As showing the:‘large demand which exists for mohair from Eastern manufacturers, we are by the courtesy of Messrs. Henry Doyle & Co., of San Francisco, permitted to print the following extract from a letter recently received by that firm from an extensive manufacturing house in Pawtacket, R. I., Messrs. D. Goff & Sons. These gentlemen say : ‘*We are now using large quan‘tities of mohair (which comes off . the Angora goat) in the ‘manufacture of mohair plushes for railroads and furniture. All these goods have been imported until about four years ago, when we began to make them, and since that time several other mills have been making mohair plush for furniture. So the demand for mohair, you can see, is very rapidly increasing. Now, as your mountainous country and climate, as well as. that of Oregon, is well adapted to the Angora goat, we wish ‘your people could» be made a pure article of mohair. We have. to import nearly all the mohair we are using from Turkey. Although there is a little grown in your State, yet the most of itis ofa low grade. We bought some that was grown in Oregon, of fine quality, some time ago, and we are now’ ready to buy one hundred thousand. pounds of same grade, and pay forty thousand dollars for it. We hope the time will soon come when we can get all our mohair, as well as our wool, from home production. The importations of both are very heavy at the present time, and the outlook just now points toa great increase~in the importations of mohair, unless the manufacturers can be supplied from home production. If, however, the present tariff is not .disturbed, we shall soon arrive at a time when all the wool and mohair, as well as goods, will be produced-by our own countrymen, and the profits of the same remain with our large American family. There never was a time when we were approaching that time so rapidly as now, and if any of your friends are engaged in the production of mohair and will send a few million of pounds to New York or Boston the coming year, it will finda ready sale at full prices.’’ —— Te Pubiic Meeting.

The Chinaman who suicided in the Grass Valley calaboose Friday used his queue, which he passed around under his chin and put.it snug upin the angle of the jaw and neck. Then getting on a stood with his back to the wall of the jail and hitched the tied queue into an iron staple which is in the jail. Then he kicked away the block on which he had stood, and swung himself off into eternity. He was choked-to death, leaning forward with the queue pressing his neck, and with his toes resting on the floor of the jail. His hands were down at his side and clenched, which showed that he had nerved himself to the full determination not to save himself. es ‘ NOTWITHSTANDING much is said about the importance of a bloodpurifying medicine, possibly the matter has never claimed your serious attention.
