These letters are favored with many Compliments and are being passed upon as the best of any published In Oregon papers, Medford has reasons for con gratulating herself right at this time that she is not a railroad di- yiaion headquarters, xne tramps are having a hilarious time at these places and life and property are greatly endangered. The Union Pacific railroad has passed into the hands of a receiver. This move, like in the ease of the Northern PariSc, is believed is made to allow the railroad to be conducted with greater latitude, and escape the importunities oi creditors. I? the city of Medford drawing any nearer to the electric light goal? It is really a pity that we cannot compel those whom the city have ubsidiaed for this purpose to either carry out their contract or throw up all claim to the subsidy and franchise. The Albany Democrat is author ity for the statement that the South ern Pacific railroad is figuring on . the purchase of the Oregon Pacific road and its line of steamers which ply between' Yaquina and San Francisco. The Eugene Guard clips the Democrat's item and heads it "Too Bad if True." The suppo sition is that the move is made to head off cheap steamship transpor tation from San Francisco to ll- " Jamette valley points. Bloomer's departure seems to have almost been forgotten. The inertia in this matter, like lots of other monkey business in Jackson county, breeds no good to the tax payers of the county. The tide in the affairs of Jackson county's financial manipulatara is fast drift ing them into very shallow water, but before they are grounded the taxpayers will pay the cost of Bloomer's high carnivals all the same Jones, who "pays the freight." Hebe is a question we are unable to answer; "Is it a fact that Judge Neil, at the first meeting of the Or egon legislature, after his election, went before that body and had his alary raised from $300 to $1200 per annum? And is it as well a fact that the taxpayers of this county have been patiently footing fcha bill?" If the above be true the taxpayers ought to know it. If not true Judge JveU owes it to himself . -to set the matter aright in the rr i-r " hvauvu vtuv i -v it has Deen aeciaea to can seon- '.-mntiori of the fruit eriiwcrs of the , JRacifie coast states to meet atSpok- V ' ' ana Uaan . Vr Tia axsfnrt rootr in February. One of the objects is to secure if possible a more satisfac tory and more uniform service from the railroads in handling fruit ship ments. Traffic managers will be flivited to attend, and also com mission men from Montana and the JSast, who will probably be able to give some valuable instructions -as to the best methods of packing and shipping fruits so that they can be acihi to the best advantage. Fruit- -wJEUi probably be given a rate of one fare for the round trip. 8 am Br.Acir. the shootist who bored $ice full of holes with a six-shooter at Grants Pass recently, and with fatal results-r-to Rice, is now board ing at the Jackson county jail at an xpeose of $5 per week to Josephine county. In speaking of the affair (ha Grants Pass Courier says: Haomebody wrote the Oregonan (ha$ public opinion here was on the fide of Black. Qur community would not have been sorry had the whole nasty outfit been killed." From the tone of this we conclude (he people qf that city would much rather Black had been provided --with- a CJatun gun than a little 82-cslibre revolver. The tears shed over a wholesale cleaning outof these disreputable people would be very catering. i J. - Out people suffer much from disor ders of the urinarv orcans. and are al- wavs'crr&tified at the wonderful effects mw nam in nuniBninn r.ntii r Lr-i u 1 1 n I'M . . mi per ootue, f or sale ty yv. a, r-arr f?ffj3S.?r - Ashland, is filled with tramps on their way to California. George W. Morgan, a postal cleric, is fa the county jail at Helena, Mont., for fobbing the mails. Mrs. C. P. Adamaon took a dose of carbolic acid while in a fit of temporary insanity, at Naia. She died almost in stantly. D. M. Porter, a miltninn at Boulder Creek, Santa Cru county, was found guilty of perjury, in swearing falsely to las assets and liabilities. The high winds have caused an im mense run of fish at Aberdeen, Wash., and large catches are th3 result, a num ber of boats taking in over 800 each. .. A boy snapped a cap on en old and what was supposed to bs an unloaded musket at iSau Jose, and his cousin, Louis Bosi, 15 years old. was shot in tlis back and will probably die. Mrs, Thomas Flanagan at San Rafael, who permitted her daughter to marry a man who wa3 disliked by Mr. Flanagan, was frightened by the latter's action into jumping from a car while it was in motion, and she received probably fatal injuries. Two arrests were made at Stockton lor seiung "oleomargarine. . It is claimed the dealers exposed the signs required by law, but kept them in an inconspicuous place, and offered the staff for sale under a sigu "only 40 cents a rolL" The death of the wife of Adam Kern at Boca, shortly after she visited tha office of Dr. Curiiss at Truckee, has caused much talk in the latter town and an official investigation. The doctor claims he treated tha lady for a tumor and used morphine. Tha Tacoma chamber cf commerce has adopted a resolution indorsing Con gressman Dcolittle in asking for the ap pointment of a committee to go to 3icarngn.i to examine the canal route on behalf of the government. The chamber will ask all the other Coast chambers of commerce and boards of trade to do the same. George C Center, a Vancouver (K C.) undertaker, was called upon to embalm a whale which was recently caught and which the people desired to exhibit. He secured a piece of gaspipe, which he drove into the body of the whale. To this pipe he attached a beer pump, con cectod it with a barrel of embalming fluid, and emptied it into the arterial system of the fish. Decomposition wan checked. Silver salmon are reported as going up Paget sound in great numbers. It id claimed that a steamer was brought to a full stop in the straits by running into a school of them. There is a tradition among the older fishermen to the eject that a hailstorm always precedes a big run of the fish. A storm of this nature was reported on tha lower sound, and the report of the arrival cf immense schools of fish hi the straits immediately followed. At Tacoma Miss Cameron was con ducting an experiment in the chemistry class of one of the public schools to pro duce musical sounds by burning hydro gen in a flask. The hydrogen was gen erated by putting acid on zinc Miss Cameron neglected the caution of the in structor and set fire to the gas imme diately after opening the flask. The air entered, and as soon as the gas came is contact with the flame an explosion re sulted, and two of the pupils were severely cut by the flying glass. The police authorities at Santa Rosa think they have discovered a clow in re gard to the series of store robberies committed in th-tt city during the last few months. In Weiner 's auction house was discovered a quantity of clothing which was stolen from M. Prince's clothing store six weeks ago. Weiner said he purchased the goods from Levy at auction in San Francisco. SheriiZ Allen and Prince went to &w Francisco and questioned Levy, who admitted that he had sold the goods to Weiner, and he showed bills claiming he had bought the clothing from a pawnbroker four weeics ago, two weeks later than the robbery. The matter was placed in the hands of Chief Crowley of San Francisco. G reat interest is manifested in the pro ceedings of the international irrigation congress at Los Angeles. Representa tives of this and foreign governments have given tne results of experiments in reclaiming arid lands. Engineers pre sented systems and plans for redeeming all kinds of now useluss soil. The con gress adopted a resolution opposing the cession of arid lands to the states in which they are located, it being tha sense of the congress that the federal government should reclaim and own the land and forever keep control of the water rights. The point was raised that interstate complications would fol low the ceding of arid lands to the state. as water to reueeni land might have to be brought from another state. W. E. Sniythe proposed that an address be made to the country, in which should be suggested that a commission of dele gates be selected from each state, tha commissions to select delegates to a national commission, and that this na tional commission formulate plans and methods to, reclaim the arid lands and establish water supplies. This should besutmiitted to aa irrigation congress and acted upon. Chairman Lionel Shel: dounced syndicates and monopolies which control arid lands and make sel lers pay dear for water. He believed that there are four inalienable rights of man the right to air, water, land and sunshine. Papers were read discussing irrigation in all its phases, its bearing on agriculture, civilization, etc. Con siderable attention was paid to irriga tion legislation. GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP. The gold reserve continues to de- crejise, and w lower than ever before, standing at 86833,0C3 since the first of the month. Mercer of Nebraska has proposed an amendment to the constitution prevent ing United States judges from holding or becoming candidates for any other office. General Wade Hampton, commissioner pf railroads, in his annual report recom mends the appointment by the govern ment of a commission having full power to settle the indebtedness of the bond aided Pacific railroads to the govern ment. Representative Caminotti has discov ered a way to avoid the heavy expense of deporting Chinese who refuse to register. He proposes that the govern ment send some of the old yrax vessels going out of commission for that pur pose. Bryan of Nebraska in his bill proposes that a fund should be set apart by the national banks so that depositors could be paid at once if they have occasion to demand their money. He thinks If every depositor was sura of his money ho would not draw it out, and this would hare the effect of prevepting panics.
