Mrs. Lease gets $100 apiece for all her public lectures. Those that she privately delivers to Mr. Lease are free. Ad valorem duty is a fixed per centage of the value of goods on whieh it is placed. As the goods rise or fall iu value the amount of the duty fluctuates. ' The Eugene Guard says that city is soon to have a Salvation Army, regularly established, and points its index finger to the fact as an indi cation of more metropolitan ideas. Commissioners Furry and Brad shaw will serve their constituents well by insisting upon all county work being done under contract and awarded to the lowest bidder. What will be the result of the re-hearing of the Bloomer-Bondsmen case? Let us hope that the bondsmen will not escape until they have paid the county every dollar that is due. Fifteen new Mail subscribers since our last issue thirty-five during the past three weeks. Now if we can just reach fifteen hundred within the next four months this shop will be happy. Jackson county fruit took first premium at the Oregon state fair. Three cheers for Jackson, three more for the ladies and gentlemen who collected the exhibit, and again, three more with a tiger for the gen tlemen who grew the fruit. The Methodist people of both Medford and Jacksonville have reason for congratulation, because that the conference has returned to them, as ministers of their respec tive churches, such active, earnest men as Revs. E. S. Craven and W. B. Moore. These gentlemen as well have reason to congratulate them selves at being so fortunate as to preside for another year over two as important and appreciative charges as these two cities. If good comes from their efforts, it must come where their is a union of sentiment and good-fellowship .between pastor and congregation. It what Editor Kaiser says of Attorney Briggs be true the people ought to be informed, and warned. If it cannot be substantiated by solid facta Editor Kaiser ought to suffer the libel penalty. The people . have every right to know of crooked transactions and no better means can be offered for this "purpose than the newspapers, but no newspaper has a right to jeopardize the good name of any person by publishing statements which are not absolutely true. From a standpoint of princi ple" no newspaper can afford to cre ate distrust and doubt among its readers by assuming statements ; made to be correct when positive proof is wanting. What not to publish is what often perplexes an editor. He is often UDjuBtly accused of cowardice or favoritism, while at the time he is looking forward toward the good reputation of the place where his lot is cast. . The editor must always ., stand between two fires, and which ever way he moves he is sure to be criticised. There are undoubtedly . some people right here in Medford who jump onto us for fostering our city's beet interest, and when we speak of Medford as the "Hub" and "Rogue river valley metropolis" there are perhaps a few a very few who don't just like these expres sions and are saying naughty things, perhaps, about us. On the other hand, there are without a doubt many who think we do not say enough for the city. Which ever way the ground lays makes no - difference. We like Medford ; we believe it is the best city in the val ley for business. We know it is the metropolis and hub of the great Rogue river valley. We know that . her people, as a class, are enterpris ing and law-abiding. We know that people who take exceptions to our use of expressions which tend to foster a better opinion of our city, are a disgruntled class and are a menace to the best interests of any town or city in which their lot is cast. , The pessimist is pestiferous and - should be suppressed. He sees no silver lining to the cloud, and his oracular utterances but intensify the shadows. He is ubiquitous as well as pestiferous. No Arcadian soil is too sacred for his tread, and po Utopian environment escapes fcis poisoned arrows. He is hers iu the bright and charming little city of Medford, scattering seeds of dis content, which he hopes shall spring up and produce a harvest of disap pointments, regrets and failures. He emerges from the gloom ef the past and plunges into a denser and more impenetrable gloom in the future. Standing amid the wrecks and ruins of the past two years, he becomes a prophet of evil omen, drawing his chief inspiration from . the final "wreck of matter and crush of worlds." He is an unmiti gated and immeasureable nuisance and should be driven from every community as a pest to be shunned. That a new prosperity is dawning is assured, the vaporings of pessim ism to the contrary notwithstand ing. And to-day the indications are unmistakable that the country is gradually emerging from the fi nancial gloom of the past twelve months and entering upon the dawn of a new prosperity, and that, too. from higher levels of experi ence, both national and individual, than ever before attained. Big Fire at Portland. Fire at the Albina terminal Sun day afternon destroyed the Pacific Coast wheat elevator, warehouse and contents, the railroad bunkers and contents, a vast stretch of wharves, sixty or more freight cars and wheat contents, a number of cars containing a part of the great plant of the rortland General JUec tric Company, about four miles of railroad trackage, and the river steamer Willamette Chief. The conflagration consumed near a mil lion dollars' worth of propertv, which was quite fully insured. Three employes of the elevator com pany were burned to death.. The fire department could do little or nothing to stay the progress of the flames, and they completely devoured everything in their path, and subsided only from lack of ma terial. The fire is supposed to have originated by sparks from a passing locomotive. The disaster was altogether the most serious that has visited Port land since the great fire of 1ST2. estimate of losses. The following is as nearly accu rate a statement as can be given in detail of the losses: Pacific Coast elevator 8210.000 Wheat in elevator . 100.000 Coal bunkers 54.000 Coal in bunkers 12,500 Warehouse 19.000 Contents of warehouse 19.500 Wharfage 150,000 Railroad trackage 5,000 Sixty freight cars 21.0U0 Wheat in freight cars 6.750 Electrical machinery 150,000 Steamer villemette Chief 7,500 Stevedores' goods 2,250 Miscellaneous 7,500 Total loss 8765,000 BITS OF LOCAL RAILROAD NEWS. Charlie Childs seems to have been quite a handy man for the Southern Pacific, during the past two months. He was sent down to Drain sotno time ago, where he put in ten days and was then sent to Oregon City, where he has been for the past two weeks. A good many of the boys are taking vaca tions, and as a result extra men are kept on the move. No better man than Charlie could be picked up. He is an old Michigan Central man, &od that alone is a first-class guarantee. Another unfortunate young man was run over by No. 31, one night last week. He is said to have been passing wood to the fireman and fell from the tender. He was not missed by the boys, and was not found until the next morning. Both his legs were broken and he was otherwise considerably bruised. He was taken to Grants Pass, where medi cal attendance was given, and we learn that he is getting along well. His name was John C. Allen. Last Saturday Conductor Dyer, of the sbortline, and his train crew put in the afternoon turning their engine, and now the little "mogul'' comes into Medford right end to, and backs out. This will kelp her steaming ability a good deal on the up grade run, ana will undoubtedly make a saving in la bor for Fireman Tryer, and will also make fuel expense less. Charlie Childs came up from Oregon City Tuesday morning, but was not given a chance to remain at home very long, He received orders to go to Drain on No. 15, Wednesday, to relieve the night man at that place for three weeks. The smiling countenance of Nick Huff is not seen on the overland these days, be having been transferred to the norm end oetween itoseourg and Portland. "Pat" Tinan took his place on this run. The state railroad commissioners were here last Thursday. They made a trip to Jacksonville over the short- line, and. of course, lound everything in first-class condition. ! Manager Buchanan, of the Rogue Ritrar Val If v Railwav. accomnanied bv a party of Portland friends, came up Friday, and have been rusticating over on the Applegate. Assistant Agent A. J. -Gillette left on No. 15, Sunday evening, for a ten days' visit with relatives in aiarion county. V Mrs. Lippincott and children re turned home from Los Angeles, Calif., last Thursday, and Agent Lippincott smiles about a foot wide this week. V Superintendent Fields and other offi cials of the Southern Pacific, were in the city one day last week. Considerable freight Is moving these days and freight trains are a little late most every day. V Mr. Hudson, who was at one time assistant agent at this station, is again working here, in the place of A. J. Gillette. J. O. Johnson shloped a car of cattle to San Francisco, by Monday morning's freight. V A. M. Woodford shipped a carload of hay to Merlin, Saturday. A Peculiar Incident. A shooting accident occurred at Meadow postoffice, about thirty miles west of Eugene on the Siuplaw river, last week. Two boys, Justin Phillips and Ralph Nichols, had gone out shoot ing with a 44-cauore self-cocking re volver. It appears that Phillips was holding the revolver, when bv. some means it was discharged; that Nichols was standing directly in front of him and the ball entered his leg, and Btruck I the bone in such a manner that it !eame back and lodired in one of Phillips legs. Jackson County at the State Fair. From the Oregonian Salem special. One exhibit in the pavilion .that has an irresistible charm for all classes, especially these hard times, is the dis play of gold nuggets from Jackson county. It is contained in a little glass showcase, located in the art depart ment, and is jealously guarded by Hon. Tod Cameron, who has charge of it. It is not to be wondered at that Mr. Cam eron keeps a watchful eye upon that little case, for it contains nearly $3000 worth of gold. Great interest is shown in the re spective exhibits of Jackson and Yam bill counties, and the rivalry between the two for the first prerai am, although good natured in the extreme, was, nevertheless, very spirited. To Hon. O. N. Denny and Professor George Coote, of the state agricultural college, was delegated the task of awarding the blue and red ribbons. It was a hard task for them, and it took several hours of consultation before they could arrive at a decision. As a result of their de liberations, it was decided to place the blue ribbon upon both displays, the award to Jackson county beiug for the best, display of fruit and to Yamhill for the most artistically arranged exhibit. They recommended that the premium be equally divided between the two counties. The award was to be made for the most artistically arranged as well as the best display ot Iruit, and, while old Yamhill had some splendid fruit in her display, it did not require an expert to at once decide in Jackson couuty's favor, so far as the quality of the fruit was concerned. Had more care been taken in arranging the ex hibit. Jackson county would have won the first premium bands down. When the judges who made the award the following evening upon theexhibits of Jackson and Yamhill counties made their report, wherein they recommend ed a division of the premium, the board refused to accept their decision, claiming it was obligatory upon the judges to award the blue ribbon to either oue or the other of the displays. Thereupou they decided to give the first place to Yamhill county, while to Jackson they awarded the red ribbon. They undoubtedly acted justly, in view of the conditions attached to the entry, which they were compelled to take in to consideration, regarding the artistic arrangement o( the display. It was not considered altogether just to attach any.such condition. Where competi tive entries are made for fruit, the premiums should be awarded solt-ly on the quality and nothing else. Jackson county had the best fruit of the two, and to say this is not in any sense a reflection on the quality of fruit shown by Yamhill. It would bo an easy mat ter to arrange scrubby fruit in a most artist io manner, yet the quality would be lacking. As a matter of justice to all fruitgrowers, quality alone should be the only condition governing awards in this department, the same as In all others. The above committee of awards which reported an equal distribution of hon ors between the two counties was dis charged and a new committee appointed which awarded the blue ribbon or first premium to Jackson county. From the Salem Journal. Senator Tod Cameron, a mining mag nate from Jackson county, shows a S23O0 exhibit of natural gold nuggets and ouartz. It is a splendid showing of the mines out there and Mr. Cam eron takes great pleasure in showing it off. Kanes Creek Items. BY SCB ROSA. Sin Birdsey Is suffering with severe attack of poison oak.
