Mechanics Fair. The Mechanics Fair
will open, in the Grand Pavilion in Portland
Oct. 8, and continue until the 24th. The
fair promises to be a grand success, and how
could it be otherwise when Hon. J. Y. XTon
gle and many other business men have it in
hand.
Drain Academy. We can not too highly
recommend this institution of learning; it is a
credit to Douglas county and to the enterpris
ing citizens of Drain. For a thorough business
or scientific education send your children to
Drain. The Normal Department is in thorough
working order and is worthy of special mention.
Agricultural "College. The Agricul
tural College at Corvallis will legin its school
C l . t .
year aeptemner iotn. r acuity is tne same as
. last year, except Prof. Emery resigned. This
College gives as fine training and mental disci
pline as can he found in the t State. Apply to
your senators or the President of the College
for a free scholarship.
Mail Service. Hon. Binger Hermann has
by persistent effort at last secured a daily mail
f 10m Dora to Myrtle Toint in Coos county
which connects with the daily mail from Rose
burg to Empire City. The Hon. gentleman is
doing more for his constituency than perhaps
anyone sent to Congress lately. I Ie is busyi ng
himself with finding out and working" for our
material interests more than going over the
Country for political effect.

many patriots have developed in the last ten
years. They fight at long range, with a chasm
of 20 years intervening. A country is not safe
in the hands of such pseudo-patriots. Loud
pretension is one thing but facing a 24 pounder
charged with a solid shot with powder on fire
behind it, is quite another. This logomachy
is bloodless, and will not necessitate a new
memorial day.

of the high schools in Portland sent east to git

A subsciber in Coos, sent the money and
asked us to stop his paper, which we did in

Public School.- Remember that the pub
lic s:hool of Re -eburg will open September the
7th. Those desiring to send to thevchoo! will
find it greatly to their advantage to send at the
first of the term and to purchase no books un
til that time when the pupils may confer with
the teachers on this important subject. Many
needed improvements are now being made on
the school buildings, and others will be made
a scon as circumstances will permit. The
school will be free and will in all probability j
be well attended.

A Pleasant Event.
As the train w;as rearing Oakland 'on
Tuesday eyening Aug. ,25th, Rev. T.
L. Jones Pastor of the M. K Church
at that place notified the ; members of
the Oregon Annual Conference who
were on the train to the number of 30
that they would be entertained at Oak
land by the ladies and friends of the
M. E. Church of that place, and on
the arrival of the train at Oakland
they were conducted to rooms where a
most sumptuous feast had been piovi
ded and were received with most cor
dial greeting. By the kindness of con
ductor Conser, 'sufficient time was al
lowed; and at the conclusion of the
repast, hearty thanks was tendered the
ladies by a rising vote and at the sug
gestion of Dr. Harrington they return
ed to the train without resuming their
places at the table.
On the following evening sixteen
preachers and three of their wives en
joyed a liko hospitality, and this t'me
Sister Jones not to be liehind her hus
band, got upon the train at Brain and
o-ave the invitation to the ministers.
At the suggestion of Rev. T. L. Sails
the Rev. F. Bonn thanked the ladies
in German, the Rev. C. N. Hange in
Scandinavian, the Rev. A. JY .Hanson
in Chinese, and the Rev. Dr. Roberts
thanked them in English., Such hos
pitality on the part of the ladies of
Oakland was greatly appreciated by
these men, and w.ll not be soon for

River Improvements. We are reliably
informed that the Board of Engineers will
commence work on the Umpqua river between
Scottsburg and Gardner and expend the ap
propriation recently secured, the amount being
nearly $5,000. The work will consist of a
construction of jetties in the river, building of
cribs to be filled with rock, rifraffing, the re
moval of several large rocks near Scottsburg,
which now obstruct navigation. By the jetty
work it is proposed to remove Brandy ba,
Echo island and Dean's creek bar, and will
give employment to a number of men and will
require much material. The Hon. Binger
Hermann also secured this work from the Sec
retary of War.
The Preachers. There are about sixty
memliers of the Oregon M. E. Conference now
in session in Rosebure. Most of them are
present. The Personel of the Conlerence is
good. The preachers are all well dressed,
cheerful and carry that sanctity of demeanor
with them that makes us know that they are
earnest workers for the cause in which they
are engaged. Rev. Dr. Hines of the Portland
Advocate and Rev. Dr. Crary of the California
Advocate are here to the edification of all who
listen to their speeches. Bishop Walden and
his little son from Cincinnati are the guests of
I Ion. Binger I Iermann. The Bishop to our
mind is one of the most expeditious, searching-
' ly analytical and satisfactory presiding officers
we ever saw in the chair.
Married. Prof. M. C. Hawley, of Wilbur
Academy, . and Miss Anna Geiscndorfer,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Geiscndorfer,
were married at Trinity chapel, near Albany,
on the evening of the 19th, Revs. Van Scoy
and Jones officiating. The chapel was most
beautifully and tastefully decorated with ferns,
flowers and evergreens, and the wedding
march played by Ambrie Field, of Salem, was
superb. Among the invited guests were Mrs.
Hawley, Albert and Miss Marie Hawley, of
Albany, relatives of the groom, Mrs, J, C.
Young"; of Corvallis, and Miss Ola Stryker, of
Portland. The happy couple were the recipi
ents of many, useful and beautiful presents.
They left for Wilbur. Thursday morning, and
we, in common with their many friends wish
immediately for work in their line

Prof. Russell, of the Oakland Academy, is
an educator of note and peculiar fitness for his
position. Remember his school. A thorough
corps of competent assistants employed
The round house caught fire from an engine

Congressman whom Roseburg delights to
honor, has returned from an extensive trip j
looking after the wants of our young and grow
ing state. We believe Mr. Hermann will make
us a faithful representative. So be it.
Rev. Irad Richardson, who once was in
charge of this office gave us several pleasant
calls this week, and congratulated us on our
many improvements. Thanks, Irad, we in
tend making the Review such a paper as
the most cultured can read with profit.
Gen. G. E. Caukin, District Agent for
the Traveler's Accident Insurance Company
will spend the day in Roseburg examing the
books of the agency here, and interviewing
our citizens in reference to the importance of
giving attention to providing against accidents
incident to human life.
As the sun went down last Sunday evening
clad in a garb of fire, at the same moment in
the east was seen the silvery faced full moon in
its march towards the zenith. Two beautiful
orbs to be seen at once in their fullest splendor
and yet luna was only reflecting the light she
got from sol. How strange!
J. T. Hinkl brought from Cottage Grove
last Friday two black and tan and one yellow-
tan hounds, with which to catch coyotes. $40
is the price paid for two of them and the other
one we could not learn how much he gave for
it or even how he got it. At any rate they are
the finest dogs yet brought to Douglas that we
have seen.
Prof. J. B. Horner and wife came to Rose
burg last Monday and are making preparations
for school. We gladly welcome the Prof, and
his wife to out midst. Let us all strive to
make the Rosebure school one of the best in
the land. The other teachers will be on hand
Miss Winifred Moshcr is here, and Miss Hay
will be in a few days.
By the thoughtfulncss of Rev. T. L. Jones,
the clergymen coming to Conference last Tues
clay and Wednesday evenings received a splen
did supper at the house of Mr. Teal at Oak:
land. We are surprised that the conductor
did not accept the invitation to this pleasant
ovation. Come, brother conductor, you must
do better next time. -
We were shown this week some very fine
amplcs of dried French pnmes and Egg plums
raised and dried bv Mr. L. C. Hill, one of
)ouglas county's leading fruit raisers. Mr
Hill uses the "Granger Fruit Drier," patented
by Messrs. Burnett & Hill, which certainly, if
the samples of its work are near an average, is
one of the best in use.
Mr. Lee who lives near Grants Pass has been
along the railroad visiting the various towns
iclow selling watermelons and vegetables by
the car load. He now owns the old Vanoy
farm on Rogue river, and has recently Ixmght
another, which makes him owner of the two
best farms in Josephine county. Mr. Lee is a
rustler and his word is as good as his bond.
The farmers of Douglas county are fortunate
in the fact that T. Ford as agent for the cele
brated Oregon Nursery the Northwestern
has built up a good and reliable trade. This
season he will be better prepared than ever to
furnish the very best fruit and shade trees of
all varieties at the very lowest rates. Do not
patronize traveling humbugs but place your
orders with Mr. Ford.
Mrs. Davis, living near the depot, departed
this life last Wednesday morning, and was
buried, in the I. O. O. F. cemetery the same
day, Rev. II. P. Wrebb conducting the ser
vice. She had been a long and patient suf
ferer with cancer. She' leaves two little
children that are now- truly orphans, her hus
band having been killed some two years ago
by falling from the cars. Our good people
should look after them. -
There was a large attendance at the meeting
of the Roseburg Reform Club on last Tuesday
evening. The meeting was called to ordei by
President Owens, prayer pronounced by Chap
lain Brooks and minutes read by the Secre
tary. The President made a vigorous speech,
the choir sang appropriately and an enjoyable
evening was passed, David Clements and
Gen. Holmes adding much thereto by singing.
Col. John Lane was chosen orator for next
Tuesday evening.
That Dirty Dandruff .
Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in
every way. It soils the clothing continually,
anM3 accomplished by a hardly lees annoy
ing sensation of itching. The scalp is diseas
ed. There is nothing in the world so thor.
oughly adapted to this trouble as Parker's
lair Balsam. It cleauses and heats the
scalp, stops the falling hair and res orea its
original softness, gloss and color. Is not
oily, highly perfumed, an elegant dressing.
Very economical, as only a small occasional
application keeps the hair in perfect condi
tion.
Take the man who knows everything, gin
him up, then pin him down close and you'll
discover that he doesn't know very much after
all, and what he does know he is not right
sure of and doesn't know for certain, so let us
all attend to our own business, not interfere
with anyone else and we may all prosper well.

A PleasuTB Trip.
Left Evan's creek on south-bound freight
train on August 5U1 and w ent as far as Wm.
Patton's where myself and family sojourned
until the loth then went to Ashland, attended
Robinson's circus and saw the elephant. On
the llth started on a trip over the Siskiyou
iiiuuuiaiMs, iunviiig ai a. ruiauucK s in me
evening, having visited the railroad tunnel at
the summit. W'c stopped at Shattuck's upper
place over night, which is the most extreme
southern boundary line of Oregonl We found
him to be a genial landlord and one of the
early pioneers of California. We also met
Rufus and Byron Cole of upper Cottonwood,
and last but not least, was old Uncle Joe of
African descent, age unknown, but one of the
family of Noah. On the 12th, we started for
the old mining camps of Hungry, Beaver and
Grouse creeks and on the trail over the moun
tains we ascend to the height of 13,000 feet,
but it was so smoky that we could not see
many of the points of interest but we passed
over an old channel about a mile in width,
which runs north and south through the
country, and which in years to come will be
mined as the blue leads of California. On
arriving at Hungry creek, the first ones that
greeted us were three old California miners,
Lacon Veighel, Jeff. Romaine and James
Ster'ing, the first prospector and owner of the
Sterling mines, seven miles south of Jackson
ville. He was one of the party that surveyed
the boundary line' of Oregon and California
ff have been told that he has discovered and
worked some of the richest mines on the coast
The mines of Hungry Beaver and Grouse
creek have been worked since alxut sixty and
there are a few good mines left yet. On Bea
ver creek, Patterson & Co.'s hydraulic is now
shut down for the want of water, next comes
Graham's drift claim and several Chinese com
panies all working paying claims. After leav
ing Beaver, we come to Grouse creek, where
in former years several companies worked, but
at present there is but one man, and old Cali
fornia miner called "Long Alex." He is one
whom time has dealt gently with. He has
mined since '50 on Humbug, Dutch, and Em
pire gulches, Cottonwood, Hungry and Beaver
creeks. He is 70 years old and was a school
mate of Hon. Tim. Davenport of Marion
county. Perhaps his friends might recognize
him by his proper name Alexander A. Tyler,
formerly of Illinois. In the early day "Long
Alex." was the first miner to do ground sluic
ing, which was discovered by accident, like
most inventions. Jle owned a rich mine and
at the head of the claim built a reservoir which
broke, making him so mad that he jumped in
and with the aid of his pick stripped more
land in one hour than he could have shoveled
into his boxes in a week. From that time on
ground sluicing becamargeneral. I also met
Dr. J. T.Ireland, a miner and hunter on Cot
tonwood, who has discovered in his claim a
horn and several bones of the fossil ore ox.
Also met Jas. McGraw, now known as Yankee
Sullivan and J. Thomas,! who are on South
Hungry. This takes us from the I2th to the
2 1st, when after visiting all the springs of any
note in this section, I start for home in good
health, after seeing, tasting, feeling and smel
ling of lots of gold nuggets and eating a good
hearty breakfast of bacon and beans, washed
down With a good cup of strong coffee. We
enjoyed a bracing ride down the Siskiyous in
a stage with a reckless driver an hour behind
time. After a two day's visit in and around
Ashland with toy friends, we took, the - train
Sunday evening for Roseburg arriving safe and

I learn that an effort is being
made to revive the Phillalathean Literary So
ciety of this city. Such a move is in the right
direction and indicates an awakening sense of
a desire for moral and intellectual culture,
1 he mind of man is ever active. I here is no
stand still, it is either advancing or retrogrr.
ding. Without effort on the part of the con
servators of society, the masses will naturally
drift into light and frivolous ways. Thought
preceeds action, to have right action right
thinking must be induced. The minds need a
stimulant and an inclination and taste for that
which we know to be good. Moral and intel
ectual development was the distinguished
feature of ancient Greece and Rome. We are
greatly indebted to those people for the degree
of advancement in enlightened refinement that
we eniov to-dav. The studied and labored
essays, poems, and orations of the philosophers,
poets, and oraters of ancient Greece and Rome
have descended to us in a halo light and splen
dor that shall endure to the remotest times
It was an r.ge of intellectual vigor that chal
lenges the admiration of all the friends of hu
man progress and is to-day the model for all
Not decrying the religious efforts let us so far
imitate those people as to profit by their exam
pie. Let us offer the young an opportnnity to
be something better than they are. Let us

Oakland Academy fully organized in all its
depcrtments, will open its Fall term Sept. 7,
1885. This vigorous institution with a thor
oughly competent and efficient corps of in
structors and ample facilities is pressing for
ward in generous emulation for the very front
rank in all that is most excellent "and endur
ing in education. This academy has been a
success from its very inception. It has done a
great work for , Douglas county. Under the
management of Prof. Russell it has moved
grandly forward. Competent himself he has
spared neither trouble nor money to secure
able and efficient assistants. This is not a cram
ming institution nor is it a fashionable boarding
schboU. Solid work is done within its walls
and to have passed through its several depart
ments of literature, philosophy, science and art
means something. Parents and Guardians
having children or wards to educate cannot do
better than to put them in this institution.
