There is hut one reason given, for refusing to go
"business won't permit it." Who; can J here be, wnose
"business''-in so iiitfiorlmit tjiat'he cannot s)are a day in
helping bring to the county the greatest thing that could
be brought to benefit it, and therefore, everyone in it '( A
man has,:!li" days in the year. to grub for money. Can't
he quit grubbing for even a day for the sake of city, county
and state' () . , . ; .
Aud if those who refuse to go for "business" only real
ized it, the passago of this measure means ten times the
"business" in the future that, one day's money-grubbing
now can possibly mean to these worshipers of the "Great
God Business."

ST. LOUIS, Jliu. ). Wbeu a -load of
coal was delivered ' at the Kust St.
Louis police station vu the coldcttt day
lu the year, Sylvestt-r Lee1, the negro
porter, true- to the orders be received
luat Hummer, turned tbe bode ua it aod
gave it good weeting to aettle tbe dust.
Tbe water froze aw fust a it fell, aod
wbeu Sylvester got through IbeJoiid of
eoai was a blaek iceberg.-
He ami ilia aide partner tuckled it
witb shuvels uud could not make a dent
in it. Tbey tried pickaxea and made
very little progress. Dynamite waa
proponed, but fur tbe wagon 'a aake it
wim not used.
Reinforcement! were called for. llulf
a dozen' negroes, working witli' crow
ban aud sledges, finally succeeded in
breaking the compact mass into frag
ments, and it waa separated from tluj
wagon and carried into the cellar.
The struggle of the people id' Cottage Grove and ad
joining territory to create 1 lie county of Xcsmith out of
'sections of Lane and Douglas counties is another instance
of the efforts of a locality to obtain home rule. Of course
the balance of the two counties affected are fighting the
proposed division, though having little in common with
the secessionists, anil may succeed in blocking the division
before the legislature, lu this case an appeal will be made
to the people of Oregon and the request probably be
granted.
The following are the reasons advanced b the Xesmith
boomers why the new county should be created:
Because it contains an area of l!).")(i square miles; has
a population of 7!H t people; ail assessed valuation of H
13.15,93:3; has 19IJ1 school. children; has an assessed valua
tion of itil ".'') per capita.
Because a levy of 15 niills,(the levy in Lane county for
190!))' will-raise the sum of f7l2,7:i8.9!) in (axes.
Because the county seals of Lane and Douglas conn
lies out of which it is proposed to create said county, are
situated To miles apart and cannot and do not serve the
needs and demand of the people residing within the ter
ritory of the proposed county.
Because the people within said territory pay vast sums
in taxes into the treasuries of said counties of Lane and
Douglas and get no corresponding returns in public im
provements. Because if said new county is created, there will remain
in- Lane county taxable property of the, assessed value of
more than $1. ",(( )(,( and a population of more than l!0,
0U0 and a larger proportion in Douglas county.
Because the situation and topography of the country
are such that the population of the Hew county as well as
the old counties is left in a more concentrated and compact
condition.
Because the fact that being inure concent rated, the
affairs of the several counties can be more economically
administered than in their present condition.
Because it has been the history of all the new counties
in the state that when they had been created the county
upon the whole has improved more rapidly and made more
progress than before.
Because the people of said proposed new county are
taxed without representation, not having a representative
or county officer residing in or elected from said terri
tory. '

An application has been made for a telephone franchise
in Medford by the Citizens' Telephone company, a newly
organized company, composed of local citizens. Applica
tions for franchises have also been made by similar con
cerns in Grants l'ass and Ashland, the intention being
1o make the systems uniform and cover the valley with a
network of wires. Independent apparatus will be used.
The llmnc Telephone compam will probably aid in financ
ing the new companies, which will extend the independent
service through the Mate. The coining of the new com
pany will mean, it is claimed, the expenditure of ijCiO.OOO
or so in the citv.
