It punishes the use of sink boxes, batteries, swivel or pivot guns, either from shore er boat or raft ; blinds (except 100 feet from the shore of lakes) hunting between sundown and sunrise (except on grain and generally in- Curry county); offering for sale or killing grouse, pheasaats.quail, ringnecked. China, silver, golden, copper or green Japanese pheasants, bob- white, jacksnrpe or prairie chicken, except betweer October 15 and No vember 15, and except that prairie chicken may be killed in July, August and September, and except that no quail, bobwhite or pheasant may be at any time killed east of the Cascades by a fine of $15 to $100 and costs, or equivalent im prisonment. The penalty is ex tended to transportation of tbe birds, except alive for cxhibitory or propagation purposes. . mi ducks, geese and swan may only be sold in November and December; trout only in September and Octo ber. Deer mu3t not be hunted be tween December 1 and August l.or from an heur after sunset until a half hour before sunrise of any dav. or in any day unless the carcass is used for food. Moose, elk and mountain sheep may not be taken between December 1 and August 1, or at am- time for their skin, hides, horns or hams. These parts must at no time be "sold or transported. The animals themselves must not be held in custody during their close season, and the possession of a hide or skin is prima facie evi dence of having killed the animal. One half of all fines go to the in former, and concurrent jurisdiction is given to jnstices of the peace. FORMALLY ABOLISHED. The state hoard of charities and corrections was formally abolished by Senator McGinn's bill repealing the act creating it, which passed the senate February 13 and the house v February 17, and was ap proved by the governor. RIGHTS Or MARRIED W0MEX. This bill provides that the prop erty and pecuniary rights of every married woman at the time of her marriage, or afterward acquired, shall not be subject to the debts nor contracts of her husband; she may manage, sell, convey or devise- the same bv will to the same extent and in the same manner that her husband can property belonging to hin. WOMAN'S SPHERE EXTENDED. Among Senator Gates' bills is one which becomes a law in spite of ad versities. It is numbered 78, and provides tliat woman over the age of 21 years, who are citizens of the United States and of the ctatc, shall be eligible to all educational offices within the state, and repeals all conflicting arts. The manifest purport of the law is to enable women to hold the office of school superintendent. Many maintain, however, that it is in conflict with that section of the constitution which provides that "no- person 6hall-be elected or appointed to a county office who is not on- elector of the county." FISH AND GAME PROTECTION. Senator Myer's fish and game bill repeals the fish commission act of 18S7 and provides that there shall be elected biennially by the legislature a competent person who shall be denominated a gamo and fish protector, whose term of office shall continue two years, lie must give a $1000 bond, devote his time and attention to the duties of his office, receiving $2000 a year, and expenses not to exceed $500. He must enforce the game, bsh and song bird legislation, under direc tion of the governor, visiting sus pected places and gathering evi dence of infractions. He is given authority to inspect pack ages-stored or en route, and upon finding evi dence must prosecute offenders; also authority to manage the hatcheries. He may discontinue proceedings, but no costs may be assessed to the prosecution, and sheriffs and con stables must co-operate. Half the fine money goes to the county treas ury, half to the state's general fund. The informer, officer or otherwise, receives what is lett alter the ex pense of prosecution is taken out of the county's one-half. The protec DR. GUM 'S ONION SYRUP I FOR COUGHS, COLDS AMD CROUP.

The law is now in effect. THE OUIDEBOARD BILL. One of the new laws provides that every road supervisor shall erect and keep up at the forks of every highway and every crossing of public roads within his district a guide or finger board, containing an inscription in legible letters, direct ing the way and specifring the dis tance to each town or public place situated on each road. The super visors are not to bo ptid until they have submitted their report to the court, showing to the satisfaction of the court that the gindeboards Lave been erected. ' (Tails Creak Items. The Kfippel saw-mill is again doing a fine business. James- Bleuins was on the ereek lately, visiting friends and fair ones Mrs. E. Falkner has retuswd to tier husonnd at rortlanu, after a prolonged visit among us. Old Mr. Horn is now quite- feeble from pnler, with which he ha been afflicted for some tine. J. H. Storey is convalescent from to much Grant's Pass, we-guess. It might be la grippe. It is agakt reported that Mr. Horn has struck it bigger than evtr. If such is the- case Galls creek will soon claim its place in the foremost rank as a mining district. Miss Edna Gibson has closed her fall and winter school here on the creek. Her school has been one of unusual prosperity, and she has the thanks ard hest wishes of ail. She will teach our spring term. Died. Miss Lizzie, oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. William Blakette. Lizzie was a bright and intelligent girl in her teens, and we shall miss tier from our midst. 1 lie Jxrd giveth and the Lord tikcth away. May he comfort the bereaved ones in their sore affliction. Galls creek is the mecca of the prospector nowadays. Prospectors from all the adjoining districts- are visiting the creek now, since D. Horn reached down into one of old mother earth's inside pockets and pulled out that rusty old '"fifteen dollars' that lay on deposit there. I don't know whether he took it out on raiur,uay mgui or noi, or w neiuer he had a "friend- from Tammany hall" with him at the lime, but however, Mr. H. was not broke on Monday morning, for when he rencneu aown in me 101a oi me oiu : lady's outer garment and struck the pocket he did not stop at f 15, but just kept on digging up as long as he eould find any of the filthy lucre, and now he is all O. K. Prospectors vho rank in all stages of the profusion, from the hayseed, right raw from the ranch. f the ex pert, with handle to his name, are breaking rock, pawung dirt, and putting up-notices all ever the hills k the vaii hope of striking a big bonanza. Tbe tools cf their trade comprise a various let aud range all the way from garden hors. dish pans and post hole augers to frying pans, pocket knives and claw ham mers. The man with the story of rich float being found by somebody in early days who, of course, is now dead and sleeps leneath the daisies, and the man who had a d re din that he found ja boulder that was half gold; the man who knows it all; the man who don't know anything, aud last but not least, the man with ihg- forked stick, are all here. J. J. Specimen Cases. S. H.

When people find an article- much superior to anything of the kind they have ever before used, they are almost sure to toll their friends about it, and especially it they know of some friends needing such an- article. Dealers also soon learn the true value of their goods, and when they have an article of . an unusual merit they will almost invari ably mention the fact to theu custom ers. This accounts in a great measure for the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Her is an 'instance: W. L. NoHilham, a prominent citizen and business man of Orrsburg, Mo., has been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for several years- anl recom mends It to his customers,- because in his exparleace it has proven to be the- Dest lor coins, croup ana:; wnooping cough. He sys It is the most popular mediolne that he handles,. and gives the best satisfaction. 50 coot bottles for sale by G. H. Hawkins, Druggist. IIS AND MINI. Mr. G. AV. Johnson, of this city, left on Tucseday for Redding, Cali fornia, to look after some mining interests. Ben Thurston, one of th- many bssy miners of the Applegate coun try, i3 now on Galls Creek making ready to start work on his "Pikes Peak" mine. This mine was located last year but little was done to it, but he expeets to push the work this season. A company of prospectors are turing things bottom up in pros pecting the quartz ledge owned by Cook Bros., on Galls Creek. These gentlemen are from the Sardine mining district and are miners of tbe right quality. The indications of a rich ledge are fast developing and big results may be looked for. D. Hornrwho discovered a quartz ledge on Gal la creek, this county, a. t-w weeks ago, has sold out to a co4iipany oi Ashiand capitalists, consisting of F. M. Granger, V. EL Jacobs, Oscar Ganiard, O- C Tiffany a-ad II. L. White. The price paid for the mine was $4000. Mr. Horn retained several sacks of the rich ok, which is estimated to be worth about $ 10,00ft Thus D. Horn has cotne . in possession of a modest fortune, which scarcely more than one month ago he had not dreamed of. - The site of Uniontown, which was once quits a lively little trad ing pjintin the Applegate country, is now being mined fur gold. hen, in cariv davs, stood store buildiugs and residences and in laid out streets, now the miner is employed wo. king out gold in- pay ing quantities. The old Jen Linn Co. is known to have taken $150,000, aud perhaps more, of gold from! this locality. Nearly all the mem- bers of the old firm have left there, I . t - I . T - . -, , - ; but the original Jen Linn is etil! in that vicinity and mining as assidi ! ouslv as in days a gone. Dan Griffiths and Mr. Truax have sold their quartz mine on Hungary creek to II . B. Van Vactor, of San Francisco . and E. F. Staples, of Oakland Calif -rnia, says the Val lev Record; The price is uot made known, but the consideration was part in money and part in property. The purchasers have thoroughly explored the property and are mov ing things to the mine on snow i a j ghoes to immediately begin active work developing it." The ledge is peven or eight fet wide and so far thy are in on the vein 175 feet. I The ore is niostV sulnbixrets hu it w easv to get eut cheaply. It is considered a per ton- proposition.

Griffin creek can scare up about as big a mining excitement as any other locality, d we all dream of gold in great chunks. There is no doubt about there-being lots of rich grawl up the creek and also rich quartz ledgesv The Farmers' Club- of Jaekson cotmty held its regulas monthly meeting last Saturday night. A very pleasant time was- bad. It was-decided to change the time of meeliug to the first Saturday even ing in each month. The next meet ing will be the olection of flicers. and a full attendance is requested. Griffin creek country is taking long strides to tho front in the fruit industry. Several of our ranchers are putting out large orchards, and some of them are just beginning to bear. All seem to realize the ne cessity of fighting the- fruit pests-, and are using the spray pumps freely and doing everything in their power to make, our fruit first-class in every respect- Let the good work go on. " C. C, C. Bepnblicaa Reorganization. There baa been- some talk since tbe r nit of the late presidential election be came known concerning t'.ie necessity for a reorganization- of the RepuWican parrr. Just what is meant by reorgan ization is not clear. If it ia only pro posed that changes shall be made in the method of conducting political cam paigns in order to secure a better can vass and more accurate information aa to tbe political affiliations or preference of electors; to bring those who ate tem porarily charged with the management of the campaign and the party leaders into touch with the masses, and to-provide a more elective means for reaching the individual voter, so one will ques tion the necessity. If, again, by the re organization of the Republican party is meant the abandonment of those princi ples of the party which are Gnpposed to have met with popular disapproval, sock a reorganization is impossible. It would involve a final dissolution of the party. Any party which T,n adopt new prin ciples to meet every chance emergency,, and which has no higher aim-than pub lic plunder, is not worthy to receive, and cannot hope long to retain, the support of that portion of the country without which no party can succeed. It has been gravely suggested that toe Republican party abodd seet success- by en abnadoo ment. er a modification, of its pootkm upon tbe-tariff,, by the adoption of some modified-- Cuarrial proposition which would, satiny a supposed popular de mand, or bra formal declaration against federal control of federal electibne. The Republican party must look far Bucceae in the-triumph cf its principles, and not br trimming its soils to catch every popu lar breeze. Sanator Dolph in Sorth Amoricm Review. Kmelt Flalirmca'a Lack. There wes quite a panic among the smelt fishermen of Etroudwater the oth er evening. On the ice below the tide mill are about twenty of tbe little wood en box bosses used by the fishermen. On one of the coldest evenings the fish ermen, were snugly ensconced in their little houses, with wzrm fires, pipes lit, and lines hanging down through holes in the ice for the benefit of the smelts. It had been so cold that the water next the tide miTl had frozen solid, so that when the miller hoisted his gate tha water, nrstrad c f taking its accustomed channel, ran out on top of the ice to a depth of about six inches. The flood was upon the fishermen before they were aware of its cause. At once there was a panic. They left their warm bouses and rushed headlong for the bank. Soon one of them, a genius, hitched a rope to his house and dragged it ashore. In a. few minutes all had adopted the plan, and in a twinkling the smelt village had vanished. When the water subsided. ther returned. Portland (Me.) Presa. ' To Bfred Kmngaroaa Im America. Henry G. Adams, of Sydney, Aus tralia, is here.
