The Mail now haa no von, making totaj of Dfty-six col umns of matter published at each ia sue. The oxpeusu of publishing a pa per of this size will be somewhat greater, but tbe publiahor of Tbe Mail believes that "the best is none too good" for his BubsorlberB, and it has always been his endeavor to give them "the best," aa nearly as it waa in bis power to do so.

Two Doards with an Interesting his tory attaobed have boon presented to the Oregon Historical sooioty. In 1803 Ashtou Clayton, a plonoor of Southern Oregon, purchased a tract of land about twelve milos west of Koseburg on tho North Uinpqua riv or, on which is located a house, known as tbo poor farm. All tho boards used in the construction of this house wore made by tho Uiupqua Indians, and each board roprosoutod a whole log. The logs wore cut and fashioned into boards by burning or scraping with a sharp rock or shell or other crudo in strument. Tbo Indians had no axes or other modorn imploments with stripe, plaid and mixed tor these suits $15 CO. Oregon it will be our constant effort to keep pace with her development. The above is a good representation of our new presa. It ia twice aa heavy as the preBS we have discarded and besides enabling The Mail to increase in size, will also print nearly twice the number of papers per hour. We will also be enabled to do a higher class of printing than heretofore, owing to tbe presa being a more per fect machine than tbe one upon which we have been printing The Mail for which to work. Mr. Clayton took two boards out of the building to his own home and used them on the south side of his house, whero they remained continuously since 1854. When taken down recently tbey were apparently aa sound as on the day when they were nailed there. A. E. Clayton of RoBoburg, a son of Ashton Clayton, presented the boards to the historical society. The young men and women who are preparing to be graduated fiom the lollegos of Oregon next mouth should jpend some of their leisura moments absorbing the spirit of a comment made by the Saturday Evening Post upon one danger of college education. Tho Post says that "if, while getting tbe education, the youth gets also social snobbishness, he or she goes forth the worse for college and a force for evil.1' That young man has al ready passed the day of usefulness who looks with contempt upon the laborer who works with his bauds. That young woman is still densely ig norant of the highest duties of life If her education causes her to Bit in idleness iu the parlor while her moth er toils in the kitchen. A snob of the most disgusting type is he who makes a display of his learning for the mere purpose of gratifying bis vanity. Work with the mind ia as honorable as any L It be honest and useful, but It is na more honorable than honost, useful work with tho hand. Don't be an intellectual peacock. The Mail is not given to bunding bouquots to railroad companies, but justice compels us to mention the good work tho Southorn Pacific com puny is doiug in tho development of tho state, liy a system of low pas ongor nitos to bomosookois from the oust and proportionate rutos on house hold goods, tho company bus mndo it posslblle for a lurgo number of in teuding settlors to visit Oregon this year. A grout many of theso are sure to stay and bocomo permanent residents of Oregon. Tho com puny will, of course, reap benefits from this increased truflic, but tho state at large will roup more, ltosidus, the company has boon for soveral months distributing lurge quantities of adver tising matter throughout the east and more people know about Oregon now than evor before. For all thuso tilings wo believe credit should be given the company for its good work. Civil Service Examination. Forest Supervisor S. C. Bartruin requests us to publish the following Information: For the benofJt of those who are contomptlatiug taking tho civil ser vlco examination, preparatory of entering the forest service, permit mo to say that the United States civil service commission will soon hold ex aminations for tho position of for est rangers, at one or more points iu tho stato of Oregon, and when dates aud places are dell (lately fixed, notice of the same will appear iu the var ious newspapers.

I FKIENP ADAM :I have been look ing for a letter from you, but I rather guess you have either been run over , by the cars, fell in the bay or' drank j too much buttermilk. So much has ( transpired since I last wrote you that , I was afraid to wait longer. Med ford l is on the boom. Everybody has a giaa smile; everyone is busy. Tae town is full of tourists and they all like the valley and you bet the par ties who want to sell their places will surely get a ohance. I saw Mr. Isaacs last week and he asked me when I was going to let you return. Now, Adam, I'll bet you have told him all and I don't think you should have done it. The weather is fine and nearly everyone is painting with Heath & Milligan's paint, sold only by Slim & Shortie. Last week some parties came to town, looked over every place in it and decided that Slim & Shortie only keep what was worth stealing, so they broke iu aud took all those nice Damascus, pearl handled knives, razors, shears and some cartridges. They fully expected to take more, but when they saw the prices marked on the goods they said one to the other, it is marked so oheap we can't afford to steal it, so they let it alone. The old store begins to look like business. The east side is piled up full of the nicest gray granite ware I ever looked at and it is cheap, the lowest I ever saw it in my life. So -work hard, Adam, and save, and soon, some sweet day maybe you will waut to buy some of that kind of goods. Slim & Shortie are gradually working into the good will of the people and e'er long will have by far the neatest and best stook of its kind in Southern Oregon. You should see them nice ranges. They are morals of bounty, simplicity and are guaranteed, every part of them, for ton long yours and only 535.00 high closet and all, and they are going fast. It seoms to appeal to every one's reasons. Now, Adam, I must close. Work hard, be saving and in u littlo while you cuu be a happy man. Slim & Shortie said tbey hud a lotter written to them on top of a box. of hurdwaro from Baker & Ham iltou, but you did not say whether you were working or not, but tbey wrote to those people that if you asked for a position to try you. So go and see them. All send regards. r 1 I am as ever, . A LICK. Wanted.

Th Cigar Man PKtpaa Bulldtnrf, . T. G. U. E A national oonferenoe of the Wo mail's Christian Temperance fjffion was held in the Presbyterian eturcb, in Medford, this week. There were, delegates present from all parts of Southern Oregon and a very interest- j ing program was carried out Not j only was it interesting but proltable, ; soul stirring and of much g.od as well to those in attendance, Not, perhaps, so much to the individual as to the work which the individual attendants will Derform in their local field as a result of the new life-giving sentiment imparted to them ty these national temperance educators, who occupied the platform during the two days' session in this city. Among the , distinguished world-renowned temperance workers present were Mrs. Lillian M, N. Stevens, national president, of Portland, Maine; Miss Anna Gordou, first vice president, Evanston, Illinois; Mrs Lucia Faron-Additon, state president, Portland, Oregon. Mi's. Additou presided throughout tho entire session with the grace and wisdom of an execntive that would have done honor to the governorship or legislative hall. She is a splendid speaker and an up-to-date twentieth century woman in the best sense, hav ing written a book and traveled wide ly. Mrs. Stevens is from the old Pine Tree state and is a woman of rare tal ent. She fills the place of the late Frauds Willurd and fills it well. Her speocbos wore wise and well chosen, along tho line of modern measures and means of dealing with the liquor tnilllc. She says that Maine has the gonuino ' article of prohibition and that it prohibits. Not until recently has tho law been perfected and provis ions formulated to carry it out to the absolute entidrcement and exclusion of the trnfllc. That in the last state coutost tho people of Maine showed their appreciation of the privilege of prohibition by giving Ciov. Copp over 30,000 majority aud by tbe legis lature refusing to ro-submit tho ques tion with a vote of five to one. Tho governor now has a commission of throo men who net Ju cases where any sheriff fails to do his duty, thus not subjecting the stnte to the pain ful and tardy process of impeach meut before anything can be done. Her romnrks before Mayor Piokel were vory hapny, indeed. The mayor had given a well-chosen speech iu which he seemed to know and did tell more about the W. C. T. U. as to its organization departments and world wide ln6uence, than had before been mentioned in the convention, and the ladies showed their appreciation of his welcome and wisdom by indulg ing iu a happy repartee which made the audiouce feel that athough they wero distinguished guests from abroad that they could adapt themselves quickly aud graciously to our local r rtASKim' VRUG of ORE LEON B.

Tbe local talent did their part well and (cave good account of thoir call ing aud the subjects assigned to tbeni. Particular mention should be made of a paper written and presented by Mrs. A. V. Cook, of Eagle Point, on "Nou -Alcoholic Medication,' which was requested for pub'ication, by the convention The dinners served iu the church were an eridonce that such absorb ing topics and avocations in political matters do not spoil good cakes, but rather sharpen their abilities in do mestic lines and duties. It is evident that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union is no Carrie Nation affair, but is conducted in a most respectful and wise man ner, being composed of some of the most consecrated aud talented womon in the nation. The coming of the convention will do much to enlighten Medford and this region of the real character and purpose of the Union. Their purpose and administration is beyond all question for the ad vancement of the home and elevation of the nation. Their influence is for good continually and not for evil. "Help those women," said the great apostle Paul of the helpers of his time and the saying should apply no lefts to these large-hearted women of today. Oregon
