It given uh ex treme delight to akiiIii Hiihinlt doc umentary evidence i.'stubl lulling not only the fact that The News ha tho largest cireulution of any paper published In Bouthern Orrgon, but that our columns are much nought ufler by the Kastern advertisers, who are clmrgnl local viitvn If they set Hpaee in these columns, and they are Kind to pay the price, and further, tho evidence wo herewith submit proves the "Pill Dispenser" to be un acquainted with truth or kindred vir tues. Only yesterday we received the following letter, which bears di rectly on this dispute: CHICAGO III.. October IS, 1010.

This Is the very best wo can do for you this year and wo assure you it l a better rate than we are pay ing newspapers In your section. The fact that this order Is for twelve months, four short rentiers to ap pear In each issue to be changed but once a month, also that prompt payments are assured should be con sidered. . llellevlng that you will decide to open business with us and return one of the enclosed contracts sign ed wo are, Yours very truly, 'j, II.

Dear Sirs: Your favor of October 18 at hand, but we are not Interested In the advertising you offer. The least wo take Buch mutter for Is 8 rentB per Inch per Insertion.

The public, generally was unaware 1 hat h ;ich saving wiih a fact until the campaign for election or county oHli-era approached, and then tln'se good virtues of our democratic friend were carried on the uhms of the wind to (lie four corners of the county. These tidings of alleged oy-.t are still being Mini; by the l:illhfiil. nlihonch none of them run nlv a ten hoi: for claim of iviummy net mif. It U t rue that I tonkins count y tin- en loved font e;tiK of prosperity.

To this end -Mr. Staiey assessed the railroad company $42,250 per mile on lis one hundred and mure miles of track in this county. The Hoard or Initialization of which Judge Wonacott was chairman, backed by the county clerk, demo crat ic, and against the protest of .Assessor Staiey, republican, lowered the assessment to $:!0,000 per mile A blind man can see that this pow wow of economy and saving to the taxpayers Is all a play to the pub lic for votes. Why, If so intensely Interested In safeguarding the pub lic Interests, should .Mr, Wonacott and his colleague deliberately, and against protest, deprive the treasury of Douglas County of that revenue? Why should a powerful corporation lie signaled out for, ( and granted, so great n favor as tho gift of some thing like $25,UOO In clean money that belonged to the people? Why was not tho assessments on all farm and city proper! les correspondingly reduced? A few dollars to the farmer Is aa much appreciated as a big gift Is by the railway people. The voters have nt forgotten this circumstance. The Evening and Twfce-a-Week News does not cater to Kastern ad vertisers for the mere reason thnt the rate for advertising made by our friend, the "Pill Sheet", Is so low that a full page advertisement of the patent nostrums would not pay the expense of running The News carrier routes for a week. The Kastern advertiser looks for the cheapest paper In the market, regard less of circulation, and consequently calls on our contempory who, hav ing plenty of space to spare, lets It go at any old price. The daily edi tion of The News will not accept those disgusting renders so conspic uous in the "Pill Sheet" at any price, and by giving the public a good clean newspaper has set a pace, though In the Held hardly a year, that' outdistances Its competitor In circulation, news and everything else that goes to make a ftrstetnss daily paper for a city the size of Rose burg. A comparison of The News with the "rag" down the street Is sulllclent proof who "delivers the goods". A New York woman was married to a Seattle millionaire in the, former city yesterday, and the invent was marked by three pet dogs acting as bridesmaids, and tbu bride says that she loves each of the pups more than anyone else besides her husband. They have gone to Europe on their honeymoon. That la a good country for 1 hem to remain In, as America has Utile room for such people. The fact that Judge Hamilton was "ruined" In 'Douglas county ml (is nothing to bin t ua II Ilea t ions' as an aspirant for the circuit judgeship, neither dyes It give him a monopoly on any public of lice. The "PHI Sheet" is a good sample of "home product" without litigation.

That luncheon served by the Ladies Auxiliary at the Commercial Club rooms today was a happy af fair, served In the Inimitable style and hospitality of Koseburg's charm ing and talented women, and did much to cement the various business Interests of the city into a harmon ious working body for the advance ment of the public welfare. The ludies are to he congratulated on the success of the affair, arid everywhere was heard words of heartiest appre ciation of the luncheon, and it Is iioped that such events may become a regular feature of the club life. Chicago packers have raised the price of fancy bacon to 4 0 cents. The farmer receives about 9 cents for his porkers, therefore It Is under stood that the meat trust pockets the other cents per pound. i I'lll lT MKKTINO. : I The Douglas County Fruit j Union wlil hold its regular j monthly meeting at the court- house, in Koseburg, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Pret- ! ident Harris urges that ever member of the organization bo present us there are many 1m- portant matters to be consider- ed. A number of local orators will address the meeting upon topics of special interest to the fruitgrowers of Douglas countv. Public, sentiment can raise a man to the highest pinnacle of fame in a day and cast him off his high perch in a second.

At least five people are In Koseburg this very moment looking for some place to remain tonight or for a few nights, until they can secure suitable locntlons. Something Bhould be done to relieve the situation and be done NOW. Rflv. Charles Baker followed Mr. Hermann and brought to attention of the club the matter of more fre quent train service between this city and Glendale urging that the club take action along this line and con fer with the Southern Pacific in re ference thereto. President Suely ap pointed the following gentlemen to look after the matter: Itev. ('. Mak er, It. C. Smith and Henry Uich ardson. In reference to nnnther important matter, Henry Richardson called the attention of those assembled to In creasing the capacity of the Oregon Soldiers 1 lome, n Institution, M r.

It was the speaker's opinion that, with the necessarv Improvements, the Increase In old soldiers at the Home could he brought up to the. five hun dred mark, thus adding to the city's Income a very neat payroll from the government. M r. Richardson urged the en-operntion of the club In ask ing the state to make tho proposed Improvements and the president ap pointed I on. O. P. Conhow, Hun. Ringer Hermann and .Mr. ( W.
