TT7 1 CITY LOCAL WHIRL. An exchange rejoices over the fact that the new fish law will prevent salmon all of lUeuj from being .caught .at the mouth of .Rogue river. This same exchange goes on to say that there was a time when the salmon were so plentilul in the Rogue river that hogs fattened on them along the stream. Sv, did you ever eat a salmon 6tall fed hog? We never did, not a whole one, but we tackled a piece of one once and immediately following we swore a solemn oath that henceforth when we took hog it would be the straight-dyed-in-the-wool hog aud pos itively no salmon adulterations. When we buy hog meat, which we do some times,we require that an affidavit ac company said hog to the effect that prior to its demise salmon was not a part of its diet. Senator Alley, of Lane .county, once invited his friends to par take of a choice piece of pork which he had caused to bo fattened us a tender morsel and intended to tickle the pal ate most pleasantly, but it didn't tickle, no how. The aforesaid porker had stolen a march on the senator and had indulged lavishly of salmon. We ac cepted the invitation of Mr. Alley, but, ye god's, no thanks, we didn't partake. Look not upon the hog when it has been salmoned. Verily, 'tis not pork but salmon. Cabbage and cauliflower plants now ready for .transplanting at Frank Sut ter's green house. Pepper, tomatoes and egg plants later. Last week a surprise party com posed of members of the Presbyterian .church of Medford, was inaugurated and on Friday evening and at about the time when the shades of departing day had ushered in the darkness of night this party dropped in upon the quiet, peaceful household of their good pastor. Rev. Foster, and made merry the evening hours with social chat, vo cal and instrumental music. Some forty people, old and young, were pres ent and a very pleasant time enjoyed. It was a complete surprise and the evening was the more pleasant there for. A more substantial evidence of the party having paid this visit was that of a well supplied larder with the goods of life which they left upon de parting as a token of the ir appreciation.- The finest line of spring dress goods in the market you will find at Angle & Plymale's. This section of the Rouge river valley has an institution that for ex cellency in wood work we are willing to wager has nota peer in this state.

Last Saturday was April first and the day was duly celebrated by the per .petration of many pranks by the juve nile world. The most extensive joke was that played on a farmer living be tween this place and Central Point who was told by a small boy that a colt he had lost a few weeks ago had fallen in to a ditch up the road aways. The far mer unhitched from his plow and star ted out to extricate the colt which he didn't find and is stiil looking for.

THE Mail always wants to, and will, give credit where credit is due, and as ! this item will disclose, Governor Pcn- noyer is justly entit!el to a good lump of credit. Sometime ago several young men, among them being Chas. Addiug- ton and Chas. Angol of this place, went over in the Jenny creek country and established a residence upon several pieces of unsurveyed timber land. They made bonafide residence and awaited the time when the land should be opened for filing. That time came about a few weeks ago and the boys re paired to Roseburg to make their fil ings. They found, upon arriving there that each and every piece of land they had chosen had been bought in as school iand. This of course was not entirely to their liking and they took council with Attorney A. S. Hammond, of this place. He investigated the matter aud found that these lands had been gobbled up by timber land sharks, and this too, in the face of the fact that the governor had ordered, on January 17th, that no more school land filings would be received. Mr. Hammond gathered the facts in the case and pre sented them to the governor, who upon understanding the case fully, ordered all filings made by the timber men to be cancelled and the boys were then given an opportunity to file, which they improved, and now possess the land. It sepins the timber men had represented to the governor that the selections made by them wero in real ity made before his order of January 17th was issued. The governor waxed wrathy at this deception and instead of the timber men losing a few of their selections they lost the whole business. Both the governor and Mr. Hammond are surelv entitled to lots of credit.

The salvation of the lives of the train's load of human freight was at the time credited to one Geo. Richardson, who flagged the train just iu time to prevent an accident. The story told by Richardson is that while walking on the track between Drain and Roseburg he was assaulted by four or five murderous looking tramps and after stabbing him in the body several times they threw him over the embankment for dead. After they had moved on he dragged himself onto the track and by setting fire to his handkerchief succeeded in flagging the train. It was found one of the rails over the tressle had been removed. A hunt was made for the would be wreckers but without Buccess. Later developments seem to bear out the sus picion that it was Richardson who had done the whole job. The suspicion is so strong that he has been arrested, charged with the crime. His motive, if he did the job, was probably that of reward from the passengers and rail road company.

Worth. r HE Economy Flour Bin is a receptacle for flour, hold ing 50 and loo pounds, with an oscillating sieve at the bottom by means of which any quantity can be sieved at a time without a parti cle of waste. 0 B Y USING the Economy, you do away with scoops and sieves; it beinsr Japanned and baked, it resists rust; flour enough for a bak ing can be sifted in a second. IF VOU want to see a perfect em bodiment of neatness, conven ience and simplicity, take a look at the Economy. 0 IN USING an Economy not a spoonfnl of flour will be wasted in a years time and even this small saving will soon pay for a biu. r 'HERE are drawers connected with it to hold the different spices and seasonings used in cookinjg. 0 IT LEADS 'EM ALL! t pi IT J FEW Economy Merits: It avoids the necessity of reach ing into barrels and sacks; it can be kept on pantry shelf or table; sifted flour slways ready for use; the agitator inside the bin stirs the flour, making it very light and im proves the quality. 0 T HE flour is put in at the top ad sieved out at the bottom. By this new arraneement there is no old, musty flour packed in the bottom as in the chests, boxes or barrels so commonly in nse. IT IS a satisfaction to the house keeper to have no flour scattered around to attract mice, rats, cock roaches and the various insects that are constantly attracted by loose flour, and if such come and apply for admission into the Economy they fail to get onto the combina tion and retreat disgusted they can't knaw through the Economy.

WolterS, THE GROCER, Has just added a new stock of GENTS' FURNISHING: Conrt Proceedings. From our pc!al correspondent. The circuit court of Jackson county, Oregon. oiK'ned up for business on Mon day. James Harvey, of Talent, was appointed formau of the grand jury with Z. Howard, J. A. Anderson, Ja cob JCeathammor, J. A. Cook, H. H. Rippoy and W. S. King ad jurymen. Up to date they have found but one true bill, and I am inforniLd by thd prosecuting attorney that there is but little business in prospect. Judge Hannah has a knack of expo dinting business, and so it is hoped and expected, this session of court will be a short one, for every day court is held adds to the expanses of our debt burthern financial condition. There are a few civil cases among them, one from the now renowned Wagner creek mining district near Talent. It seems two parties have lo cated on the same ledge, away up on tho sido of Mount Wagner, in snow six feet deep, and have come with their attorney's to decide which owns it. I used to hunt on old Wagner, for game and in my wanderings saw many veins of quartz protruding through the moss aud vines that cover the sides of the butto, and if those parties will give me half the sura they hnvj to pay the law yers, I will show them ledges, aftar tho snow has gone, iu sufficient num bers so they can all obtain a claim without any legal trouble, and the ledges all stand a chance of being as rich as tho ono they aro fussing over. Jacksonville has quite a livoly ap pearance this week, with tho farmers as jurymen, representing nearly every portion of tho county, and tho fifteen or twenty lawyers who all seem to bo full of business, fussing arouud the court house with their arms full of law books, and pencils sticking behind their ears.
