The missing U. S. commissioner

Ikved by many to have been un
duly influenced by outside parties
to commit tbe fraudulent acts of
wkicb she i.3 accused. However
Stoat jaay he it wiil no'. lessen ber
9mishment if convicted and the
jar ties who benefitted by her be
trayal of her oQicial trust are not
ttee kind of people to come to her
sescne in time of need, eke they
wouldn't be in that kind of busi
ness.
Phesidekt Roosevelt is not an
arator, but he bas a faculty of
saying the right thing in tbe right
ytace in a few plain words, which
are more convincing, because of
tiieir evident sincerity, than the
.most sounding phrases of the pro
issional spell-binder. At Alliance,
35eb., the other- day he eaid:
"Honor to the men who took the
'fead in taming the shaggy wilder
xess, to the trail-blazers, to the men
ho first marked out that earliest

Mazed trail.- The pioneer days
iave gone, but the need of the old
pioneer virtues remains the same as
aver."
After a fitful existence of six
.Eionths the Medford" Success(?)
perished this week of inanition.
Ibe ventufe was an ill-advised
we from the commencement.
Tiiere were many other-points in
4Jrcgon which offered greater in-
. d'icements than Medford for the',
establishment of a newspaper.
'.There were already four papers
jiere whicb covered the field thor
oughly. The Mail could have
more sympathy for the publisher of
ahis successful(?) venture if he was
2a reality entitled (to any, but he is
zsot, He was told by people here
who, a few months ago weye friends
of his, that the venture was a fool
ish one and was advised by them
not to put his money into it but his
egotism predominated over their
good Judgment and Meserve has
paid rather dearly for his success(?)
whistle from $1500 to 2000.
Our Democratic brethern seem
to rely for success in the coming
congressional election on stay-at
home Republicans and friends of
defeated candidates for the nomi
nation turning agaiust Mr. Her
mann. We believe they are reck
oning wttnout tueir boat in this
matter. The Republicans of the
first congressional district havs al
ways been in the habit of fighting
lustily in the convention, and, how
ever tbe contest m:ght terminate,
standing shoulder to shoulder in
support of tbe ticket during the
campaign. This congressional elec
tion comprises other things than
the voicing of personal opinions or
the satisfaction of private grudges,
It involves the endorsement or non-
endoraement of the Republicans of
this district by Republican princi
pies and the administration of such
by the present executive and con
gress. lhe assertion that the elec
tion of Mr. Hermann will be con'
strued as a rebuke to the adminis
tration is without foundation. The
election of Mr. Reames would he
more of a "slap in the face" to the
administration. Already Oregon
is classed in the estimates of east
ern papers on the presidential vote
next year among the "doubtful
states," all on account of the vote
in the state election on governor
last June. The voters of this dis
trict do not want to give further
reasons for classing this state other
wise than solidly Republican, and
the vote for congressman on the 1st
of June will show that tbe first dis
trict is Republican by a good.heavy
majority.
IS
Mr. Reames, Democratic candidate
for congress, has opened his campaign
in an unostentatious manner, by sending
out circular letters, of which the follow
ing is a copy. Mr. Reames, it Is cur
rently reported, has four stenographers
working over time in his office to get
out these letters, and it is in the inter
est of these overworked employes that
we publish the letter.
A. E. REAMES,
LAWVEK. DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
JACKSON. JOSEPHINE,1
KLAMATH AND LAKE.
Jacksonville. Ore., April 24, 1903.
My Dear Sir: While I know that
cm will support tbe Democratic ticket
i cms time, still 1 am writing to vou
n the interest of the party, to tiree vou
to use your best efforts at this time to
secure a full Democratic vote In your
precinct. Tbe time in which to con
duct the campaign is very short, the
territory to cover verv lane and the
odde are against us. However encour
aging repoita are coming from all pane
of the state, and I must say that at this
time it looks as if our candidate is go
ing to be elected, if we can only get out
tbe vote. In our home county, at least,
we must leave this work to our friends.
trust that you will see that nothing is
left undone that could be done wbich
would insure a large Democratic vote
in your precinct. There is ereat dis
satisfaction on tbe pari of the Repub-
lcans, growing out ol the strife wblch
preceeded the nomination of Mr. Her-
mann. From our side I have heard
words of encouragement and enthusi
asm. It is now up to us to get out the
ote, and to our friends in Jackson
county we must leave this work.
1 wish tbat you would write me from
time to time, letting me know the con
dition ol anairs in your precinct, so
that I may intelligently cope witb
them.
Kindly take this matter in hand
yourself, and I am sure that when tbe
otce are counted tbat your precinct
ill give us a good majority.
sincerely and truly yours,
C. L. Reamks.
It will be observed that the above is
signed by C. L. Reames, the youthful
deputy district attorney, who, perhaps,
dreams of swaying the minds of twelve
men "good and true" by his impas-
oned words and indisputable argu
ment, while representing tbe great
state of Oregon as "de facto" district
attorney of the first judicial district;
but, nevertheless, It assuredly emlnatcs
from A. E. Reames, the Democratic
congressional candidate. It shows just
where the main dependence of the
Democratic candidate tor success lies
the stay at home Republicans. Can
we afford to justify thishope? Will
the district which gaveMr. Furnish
something like 1300 plurality In spite of
tne tact that Alarlon countv. always
safely Republican before, went against
m by over .JUU, reverse its decision ol
lust June, and defeat the man who bus
served the state with so mnch distinc
tion in bygone years? We rather think
not. The Republican stay-ut-homes In
June will be few and far between, and 1
Mr. Reames reckons on them to elect
him, he is figuring wrong, I
The Chief of Them All.
Southern Oregon bus the most con
selonooloaa and impudent lmposurs
upon a gonoroua public there Is on
the face ot the earth. Not content with
forcing his shoot upon people who do
not want it a (act which hoe become
so notorious that the man who has suo
ceeded In "stopping" the "Democratic
Times" Is regarded with euvy and ad
miration by his friends he will go so
far as to clip paid local matter from
other papers, Intort in his Bheot, and
utter a time has elapsed the advertise
receives a bill from Chas. Niokull for a
publication ho hud never authorized
Naturally he who gets the bill Is re
senttul, but when ho moots the wily
Charles, the latter calls his attention
to some supposition couvoreatlou, in
which a taolt oonsent to the Insertion
of the advertisement was given. More
often than not this conversation never
ocourred; but Nickell Is- so apologotlo,
so full of good feeling, so certain that
the other fellow is in error and so will
Ing to compromise the bill, that finally
in order to settle the matter the man
tenders half or two-thirds of amount In
full payment. It Is aooepted, and the
understanding is that suoh a thing
shall not ocour again. But that doesn't
stop Chariot. The samo thing will
occur again, and yet again; until finally
was recently the caao "forbear
ance ceases to be a virtue," and Nickell
get such a verbal scoring as to pene
trate even the rhinoceros-like epider
mis which covers hit conscience and
sense of shame from contact with the
outside world.
About a year ago Supt. Morris, of the
Fish Lake Ditch Co., Inserted an adver
tisement in Tub Mail for men to work
on the ditch. The ad. appeared for a
few weeks and was then discontinued,
This paper was the only one authorlicd
to make this publication, nevertheless
several weeks afterward Mr. Morris ro
ceived a bill for the publication of the
same notice in the Demooratlo Times,
then published In Jacksonville, but
since run as a sort of a side Issue to the
Southern Oregonian, both sheets being
now printed here on the same press
from the same type and containing
almost the same matter. Mr. Morris
expressed his opinion pretty freely, but
paid the bill, with a strict Injnnotion
not to so offend In future.
The other day a similar notice ap
peared in The Mail by order of Mr
Morris and promptly with the next
issue of Nlckell's papers, the advertise
ment appeared, word for word in them,
That made Mr. Morris a little "impa'
tlcnt, and the next time be came to
town, he met Nickell aod gave bim an
unbiased opinion of his actions, very
much to the edification of the by-stand-
ers. Nickell attempted tbe "forgotten
conversation" dodge, but it wouldn't
work; and finally Morris demanded a
receipt In full and that the advertise
ment be immediately taken out, giving
Nickell a certain time in which to com
ply. Even before the time had expired
a messenger brought the receipt, to
gether with one of Nickell's character
istic letters, that eay lots and mean
nothing.
This is not the only case, by several,
tbat has come to our knowledge of
Miokell s contemptible methods, many
more could be mentioned one not la
ter than last June, when a certain can
didate paid Nickell $5 for one insertion
of a political card unauthorized of
course in his paper and forced him to
take card out.
That Is the kind of business this man
has been doing in the county for over
twenty-five years, and bas succeeded in
getting, by these same methods, sev
eral thousands of dollars from the
county and the people In general.

This New Acquisition toMedford's
Many Worthy Enterprises
Will Soon be in Operation A
Fine Plant and trie Very
Best of 'Equipments.
On Monday ot this week, a Mail
representative visited tho Medford
oroarnory for the purpose of ascertain
ing just what condition allalrs were tn
and at wlmt date tho plaut would be in
operation. Ho found Mr. G. O. Oiulills,
the owner and manugor, at the plant
superintending tho placing of ma
chinery and generally ovorsooing the
work of construction, painting, grading,
etc.
The orcamory building is a very nout
affair, large onough to accommodate alt
the demands. It is solidly built and is
being nicely painted, both Inslda and
outside, the basement it of solid con
crete with a eoncrote floor. In one
room of this basement It located a ten
horse power boiler and a tlx horse
engine, rrom this engine room runs a
shaft to an adjoining room, by meant
ot which power It transmitted to largo
800 pound Disbrow churn and butter
worker. In this adjoining basomont
room, aside from thlt larger and costly
ohurn, there ti a 300 gallon ouster
ripening" vat, with ohannel bottom,
in which the cream In allowed to ttand
until In proper condition (or churning
A large rofrlgorator will alto be put in
thlt room in which surplus butter will
be stored.
Over this basement it the receiving
and testing room and offices. Tho re
calving room it to arranged tbat the
cream can be very easily handled from
the farmers wagon. The cream is hore
weighed and tested and is dumped Into
the large vat in tbe basement below
The room Is supplied with boiling water
and tteam and the empty cant are here
cleaned with hot water and tteam be
fore returning them to the farmer.
Everything in this room it very con
venlently arranged and only a very few
minutes time is required In receiving
the cream and returning the empty
cans.
The building it a model of neatness
throughout and the machinery It of
the very latest pattern, and at Mr
Gaddis says, ' 'there Is not a better plant
on the Pacific coast."
Mr. Gaddis is not quite positive as to
tho exact date upon whloh be will com
raonoo operations but It will be between
the 1st and 10th of May. It will open
with tho milk from 300 cows and Mr
Gaddis Is of tho opinion that tblstiurn
ber will be considerably increased
before tbe summer season is ovor.
Tbe capacity of tho plant is from 1500
to 2000 pounds of butter per day. The
Sharpies Tubular separators are in
goneral use among the farmers. They
are sold by Mr. Gaddis and a goodly
number of those machines are being
put out by him.
Mr. J. H. Parsons, an experienced
butter maker, from Minnesota, will
have charge of the plant. The gentle
man is now assisting In placing tho
muchincry and is taking a turn at rose
gardening he having put out a goodly
number of rose trees and is figuring on
putting out a hedge at the front of tbe
plant, thus making It not only a busy
bustling plaqe of business, but a little
beauty spot as well.
New Features and Enlargements.
The appearance in this cltv of Mor
ns jt nowe's Ug bbows Is looked for
ward to by the amusement lovers with
much Interest. Each season that the
show has visited us, marked improve
ments and enlargements haye been
noticed. Thisseunon will be no excep
tion to the rule. Tho growth and Im
provement of these big moral allows
has been nothing short of nhenom na .
and the success of the enterprise can be
traced to me laot uiattiie snow is clean,
moral, instructive and very amusing.
It Is, in fact, an onturtuimuent that the
most fastidious can witness without hav
ing any of Ills scruples hurt. It is an
entertaimont that every boy and girl
should see, because thr-ir buddimr
minds absorb the lessons of what kind
ness and patience will accomplish, even
ovor dumb brutes. This season the per
formance will not be confined to trained
animals alone, but will include also
some of the best circus gymnasts in the
country, and a troupe of skillful Japan
ese equilibrists and jugglers, and a com
pany of opxert cycle whirl riders,
