VEHICLES i As good as the average are serviceable, but those, in the manufacture of which the great est degree of usefulness, combined with fine appearance, has boon attained are highly praiseworthy. The Studebaker Vehicles and WaSons Lay claim to thin latter degree of perfection. A full assortment of these goods has been re ceived and are shown at The Studebaker Bros. Co.'s Warehouse, Medford.

We are glad to note that the roads from here to Uold mil are in better condition than we have ever seen them, thanks to good oonsoientlous work of tbe supervisor We wish we oould say as much for every road dis trict. .,' The rain of Sunday and Monday was the heaviest we ever saw at this sea son of the year. Coming at this time it will do a world of good to fruit, grain and in faot all kinds of vegeta- tlon. No' hay had been out in this section worth mentioning, BS.it is all 'clear gain. Messrs. Morrison and Wolfer lost a valuable dog last week from poiBon and would gladly pay a reward to lo cate tbe guilty party, if there be one. It is more than probable, however, that the dog ate of a poisoned squir rel, for we can't believe that any one in this locality would do a neighbor such an in justioe. - Civil Engineer Walter Parsons, of Medford, looked over this part of the alley very oarefully last Thursday and Friday, and pointed out many ohanoes for capital to open up paying properties. He thinks it will not be loug, before th4s entire Beotlon will be cut op Into Bmall farms. Table Rook and Antlooh are soon to have rural free delivery if everything goes well. The rout has been ap proved and the neoessary details are being worked out. This will be a great advantage to this end of the val ley, as it will put us in daily com munloation with the world at large, whereas now our mall only reaches us trl-weekly. Tuesday was a busy day for the poo pie of this seotion, so far as politics goes, for the Republican candidates were out in foroe after a very inter esting meeting with the people of Sams Valley Monday night. They ocnoluded to spend the forenoon with Table Hook voters and give them an other good hand shake before the eventful day, one week hence. They all wore a satisfied look and predlot clean Bweep for the tioket. .Those wo interviewed were: W. H. Coleman, Or. R. T. Burnett, E. T. Staples, Jas. M. Cronemiller, H. D. Kubli and D. II. Jaokson, who was aocompanied by P. H. Daily. dold Hill Items. W. A. Carter returned Monday from Portland. Mrs. Horaoe Pelton returned last Saturday from her trip to Han Fran oisoo. U. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins will leave in a few days for an extended trip to the eastern and southern states, and will spend the coming winter in riorlda. Stopped the Clock. "' The Pendleton town clock Btopped for an hour one day hut week, and for awhile the tiouble oould not be locat ed. Finally it was discovered that three pigeons were perohed upon the minute hand of the olook and that their weight had stopped the machin ery. The janitor ascended to the clook tower and shooed the pigeons away and the olook resumed business. Old Cast Iron Wanted.

The following fioui tbe Penwa'nr, Michigan, News, bss been handed 'i'lie Mall by Mr. Averill, with a request that it appear in these columns: Judg4 Sessions, in sentencing some firisoners at Muskegon Thursday of ast week, made an announcement of his policy in reterenoe to tbe en forcement of tne liquor laws which is of great Interest here, as It will un doubtedly be similar to bis polloy in this oounty. judge sessions salu in part: "Tbe business in which vou uentle- men are engaged Is a dangerous busi ness. It is not tho right kind of busl ness. It will be my painful duty In a sbort time to send six uin, all ui them young but one, to state prison. Day before yesterday X had to send one two young mou to prison, and they are now serving sentences in De troit. Out of this total of eight cases seven cade direotly from saloons. I submit that a business whlob is the direct cause of so much orlme is not tbe light kind of business to be on gaged in. "For the last two weeks oiroult court has been in Bession at a cost of about 75 a day to oonviot you and oriminals that your business has oreated. If the county got the whole of the license thac you pay instead of half of it. it would not pay the ex pense your business causes, to say no thing of the moral elfeots. 'No men. no police officers oan give you licenso to violate the law in this oounty. 1 warn you that every member of the sheriff's lorce in this ocuoty is an officer ot this court and the court will compel him to do his duty. i "The ou:t is above the olticer and the law 1b above ub all and no permis sion from any public officers can avail to sn e:u yau iroin tne consequence if you persist in violating it. " '. In speaking to a Muskegon News reporter. Judge Sessions paid Satur day: 'My views on the saloon ques tion nave materially altered from those entertained previous to mv en tering upon the duties of my office January let. "Since tbat time I have been obliged to send several men to state prison . At Horsey, in Osceola oounty, where I held court foi Judeg Rose, at Hart and here in Muskegon, it has been the same story. Almost every crim inal oaso that I have tried haB been a saloon oase or a orlme directly result ing irora tne saloon business, it was an eye-opener to me." Vote This Law Dowo. There is one law In particular to be voted upon next Monday, whion Bhould be defeated then are perhaps others but we are just talking about one of them. It is entitled, "a law to abolish tolls on the Mt. Hood and Barlow road and provide for its own ership by the state. The answers are numbered: 308 Yes; 309, No. Be sure you mark your ballot thus: 309 X No. The following is from a prominent citizen of Claakamas ooun- ..... I would like to submit some faots conoerning the proposed sale of tbe Barlow toll road, to tbe State of Ore gon for 24,000. I believe it should oe voted aown Deaause: It is not worth tbe monev. The promoters have an oDtion on thn road from the owners for $8,000 and win mane giu,uuu n they can sell It to the state. No termers In Clackamas oonnty are obliged to pay a toll to get their ptoduots to market. Very tew farmers live near the road. The seven miles of tool road between the moun tains ana the end of the publio road was offered to C aokamas oounty as a free gift about three years ago and re fused. No provision is made in the law for an examination of the title of tbe alleged owners, por requiring the titlo to be free from Innumhrnnnnn. There is very little traveljon this road. x uiuve over tne roaa across tne mountain and back aavfln vimra Hun and did not meet an averuge of one Will O. Steel, in the Oregoman of the 27tb, says: Referring again to the proposition to sell to the state of Oregon the Bar low toll road, I would like, as a mat ter of information, to know what the oompany has to sell. The present company was incorpor ated Marob 1U, 1882, with a capital stock of 121,000, whlob was declared paid up bv absorbing the Cascade rtoaa a linage uompany, wnose hold' ings were of a doubtful ..character. The latter company was Incorporated May 12', 1801, and -neema to have en Joyed a long season of comfortable inertia. Many years previous to that date Barlow and hiB associates opened tbe road aoross the Cascades, and it baB been used ever since. In the early da) s of Oregon it was certainly a public highway. When did It cease to oe sucnr it was never puionased by tbe pretended owners ur their nre- deoessors,and there is nothing to show tbat they ever oven leased It. If leas ed by them at any time, It must have oeen iroin uiaouumaa anu wasoo counties, and tnere la no reoord of suoh a transaction. A major portion of it lies within tbe Cascade range loiest reserve, on government lauu, Under the laws of tne United States. righs of way for tbe oonstruotion of highways are granted over publio lands, A nignway la a publio road, open to all who desire to travel it. A Eublio road is dedicated to and kept y the publio. A road kept and main tained by a corporation for private gain Is neither a highway nor a publio road. , Private corporations oan get no more rights and piivileges on or over government lands than private oazens, ana neiner or tnem can se- oure right ot way over suoh laud: without an act of oongress.

District At tor. ney Baker Monday afternoon filed a motion for postponement until Ootober and this motion will probably be ar gued next Friday. Mr. Bakei says that seventeen wit nesses who are to testify against Her mnn in this oity have been summoned to appear in Portland June 21st as witnesses in land fraud oaaeB and it will be Impossible for tbem to take the. stand . here; if the letterbook case should be brought to trial,' as now planned, about June 10th. Hermann will resist this motion, for he has been to considerable expense in bringing witnesses from Oregon and maintaining tbem here and will insist that his trial proceed as last ordered by the oourt. He will prob ably Insist tbat tbe government wit nesses should 'have been summoned heretofore to appear in Washington, so that conflicting summons at Port land oould not Interfere with the trialdn this oity.

It is not expeoted that the Hermann oase in Washington will take muoh time.

T. STAPLES, Republican Nominee for State Senator Mr. Staples is well eouiDued to make an effective worker in the state senate. He is active, energetic and is bound to no clique or faction. He is fully in accord with all movements for the progress and prosperity of Southern Oregon, and his platform is epitomized in the words following his name on the official ballot, viz: "Laws for the masses; no perquisites for officials, no oppression, no favoritism." et. This means that tne f ederal court house will be tbe soene of great ao tlvlty soon, Many important casea are pending trial.

"Sardine Oil" and "Leaf Lard" CHICAGO, May 23. -It Is said that the Nelll-Reynolos report of tbe pack ing houses in this oity consists of notes of testimony and affidavits of employes and patruns. Some of tbe allegations, backed up by. affidavits, are very damaging, the report say ing: "Lard is made from hogs wbloh die of cholera and the sanitary con ditions of the paoklng bouses are re volting. Meat that Europeans refuse to take is sold in Amerioa. Oil from hogs dying lntransit is tiaed for "sar dine oil" and lump jaw oattle are outohered, while there is no inspec tion for triobbnosis in hogs sold in this oountry. The eo-oalled "potted cbioken" is composed of the flesh of bob" veal, and "leaf lard," ex ploited for its purity, contains twen ty per oent of cottonseed oil. One ooncern has a ohemiBt to per- feot a process for deodorizing deoayed hams, and Its meat is dootored with borax, and other dangerous chemi cals after having been spoiled. Dan gerous ohemioals are used for "smok ed meats," Many employes suffer tuberculosis and are unclean They spit on the meat, walk over it and drag it on fllty floors. Obas. P. O'Neill and James B. Rey nolds are President Roosevelt's ap pointees to investigate the paoklng houses. Mere Bogus Certificates. Another batch ot counterfeit land certificates were'presented to tbe state land board Saturday and deeds asked for by a man named TowoBend, from some point in North Dakota. Mr. Townsend was acoompanied by J. W. Draper, of Oregon City. Both were very reticent. Only one of the bogus certificates was Bhown, and that was intended as a sample. It 1b-'known that TbwnBend holds about fourteen half seotlons for east ern clients. Tbey are supposed to be tbe Puter-MoKlnley brand of coun terfeits. The sample submitted be longed to that class. Just why the parties interested desired to keep the matter a seoret is nob explalnea, They admitted thatPuter and MoKin- ley nad sold the bogus certificates to their clients, and that is about all the information they would give out.
