" The "Oregon HooBter" of March 11th, ib one of the most oroditable ratios yet gotten out by that paper. It is chock full of good things about Oregon aud . illustrated with Sue half ones. The Grants Pass Herald has discov ered that the Oregon Development League is a graft, "suggostod and fos tered by tho Southern Pacific com fiany. ' Tho people oould stand a few more "grafts" of like iiaturo.

" idSio county court of Douglas county has oll'ored a reward uf 00 for Infor mation limiting to the arrest and con viction of the person or pot-sons guilty of the murder of John II. Rog ers, tho timber cruiser, whoso dead body was found in a blacksmith shop in Koso'nirg several months ago. Tho mmihititiou of Henry 1). Miller, of Mrnnta Pass, as consul general at Yokuhoiiin, was foreshadowed some time ago. On Tuesday his uoiuiua-1 tion for tho post was confirmed. Mr. ' Miller's rocord In tho Orient, ospeei- nlly during the Hoxor troubles ami 111 tho prosont war. lias beou excollout null his promotion to his present post is well deserved. The department of uommerco and labor announces that last year it ad ded to its permanent equipment one Bible, a bloytilo, one binocular and ono boring ninohlno. Tho biiiooular ia used to watch the trusts from nfnr, -tho bicycle to overtake thein, the .boring inachliio to penetrate their secrets and the lilble to swear them. With such a plant at its disposal tho department oau havo no good oxenae to oiler li It allows a single bad trust to escapo detection and punish niout iu any corner of the,nation.

The bent will now lie used for towing logs. The only adviititugo in favor of the tlriilsh in connection with this traii eaetlon. when compared with some which wore negotiated by Uncle Sam lies in the fact that quite a few of the craft wuleh were pulnied off nn our uncle wore unlit oven foi towing logs. Portland Telegram. The opposition in the U. S. senate upon tho naval appropriation bill showa an Inconsistency, that makes Willeke Addition to Medford Is now platted in residence lots and ready for sale. This is in the best residence dis trict in Medford. If build on cull and see I also havo twenty-acre tract one wonder what kind of reasoning is employed by the senators oppoaiug the reasonable increase of the uary. Some senators are opposed to the bill, not because it is oxces'slve, but be cause a strong navy marks the posses sor as a bully among nations. At the same time the seuatorslwho adopt tbiB viow are among those who are moat enthuBiastio as advocates of the "Monroe dootrlne." The Monroe doctrine baa come to be some what a fetich with the American people, we are prepared to defend it at any cost. Sevoral times it baa almoat involved the nation in war. One time it did. To defend the Monroe doctrine and to make it elfcetive an efficient navy ia needed, not to bully smaller nations, but to imbuo stronger natioiiB with a wholesome reapect for our power. The United States In now fully in volved in international affairs. We can no lougor shut ourselves up an our own oountry and shirk the re spousibllitioa of our larger growth. We must protest ourselves aa well aa others, and to do this we must keep up our sea fighting force to the high est point of efficiency. . This nation enjoys the unique position f being the only nation, except one, which has the most efficient portion of its navy on the water, rather than ou paper, and that excoptiou "is Japan. The two nations have bad paralleled experiences. When the war with Spain commonoed the Spanish navy was superior to the United States navy on paper. The result is hstory. When Russia and Japan clashed, the former was apparently superior. The harbor of Port Arthur has substantial evidenco of the dilfernco between ea tiinated aud actual forco. T. Did you take any stock in tho Mod ford li Crater Lake Railroad? If not, why didn't you? Have you property here, and won't the valuo of Unit property be enhanced by the building of this road. Of course it will. Vou know it. It isn't very long ago since Jacksonville nt that time one of the moat prosperous towns botweon Port land and Sacramento thought It didu't need n railroad. The citizens of that Jtown woro asked to giro a bonus of $5,000 to have the main line pass within a mile of the town. They wouldn't do it. Tho rosult is shown In this city of 3000 Inhabitants and tho empty stouo buildings and gen eral deciident e of tho old town. That proposition was a plain case of "hold up. " It was a mutter of putting up Ji.'i.OOO with nothing to show for it, oxcopt a railroad uoar the town. Would It have paid? Ask some of tho property owuors of Jacksonville. They will teP you. Tho M. te C. L. Co. do not ask you for a bonus. They offor you ahnros of stock in the road. Vou know that the building of tho road will make your property more valuable, that it will bring i 11 J more people nnd increaso the volume of trade in every business. It will in -oroaso your receipts enough to more than cotiutorbalanco tho contribution you will make toward building this road. "Contribution" la hardly tho right word. "Investment" would bo better. For paid up shares in the M. & C. L. R. U., will be worth good money one of those days. , before the roads is more Mian half completed. Marrlcd-Peart-Bennett.

In speaking of the trip Mr. Lumsdeu said: "Wo had a very pleasant time aud visited all the towus and cities and points of inter est In that part of California. The most enjoyable excursion, however, was a trip to Catalina islands. We took the boat at San Pedro and ar rived at the islands after dark. The town ou Avalon bay was all lit up with different colored electric lights, as well as was Sugar Loaf rock. When the steamer whistled, rockets, colored fires aud all kinds of fire works were set olf, and in the meantime the search light f the steamer was play ing upon the different points on the shore. It was a scene of surpassing beauty, and one that must be seen to bo appreciated. But the finest sight at Catalina is the marine gardens. You go out in a boat arranged with glass in the bottom so that a perfect viow of tho bottom of tho sea can bo hud, The wator is in the neighbor- hood of a hundred feet deep, but everything is as plainly visible as though in open air. The bottom is covered with vegetation of all colors, sea violets as delicntely colored as those of the land are in proftisi n, beside mnuy other beautiful t lowers, j Parting in and out among these iilants or feed inn noon them are inv- riada of tlshes of ail colors, shapes i and sizes. Some are beautiful, while' (others would take the prize at any! show for ugliness. But 1 can't begiu ' to dscribe it. All I can say is that that sight aione is worth the trip down there, and you haven't soon the greatest sight in Southern California until you have seen the marine gar dens.
