There were two sin- 1 gular features about that sale. One County, Oregon. D. W.

The other was the price paid — Oregon, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. $7,240,000. If we believe what was SATURDAY. MARCH. 13 1915 often stated at the time, that the $7,- 000,000 was to reimburse Russia for SUBSCRIPTION: One year by mail $1.50. Advertising rates furnished on what she had done for us and that the application. $240,000 was to pay her for what she had spent for coal in serving us, neith er proposition seems out of reason. But really tne service she performed for us could never be paid for in mon ey and our gratitude to her should be an annuity drawing interest forever. But while what the aristocracy, the manufacturers, the great merchants and ship companies of Great Britain did in that war to destroy our shipping —which was of greater tonnage th'an that of Great Britain when the war began, and what they did to rend our country itself into fragments, will al ways be remembered, we should not forget that England’s great queen her prince consort, a few of her statesmen and the poor employees who by tens of thousands were made to suffer semi starvation because of the war; were true from first to last in their determi nation that there must be noclash with our country, no perpetuation of slav ery through their country’s help. But it was with bad grace that the others relinquished their plan.

A man, or a news paper has a perfect right to dissent from the verdict of a jury and the decisions of a court, but should not hold his private opinion, founded on part of the evidence on one side of the case and perhaps some prejudice, to entitle him to revrle jury and court because twelve men sworn to try the case fairly and impartially and who have heard all the testimony on both sides, returned a verdict at variance with the preconceived opinion. If this were permissible, then there is not much need for juries, judges or court trials: let the man, or paper pronounce judgment. Because a jury of twelve men, after hearing all the testimony presented in the case acquitted Martin of the charge against him, our State Game Warden attemj ts to punish Jackson county, by declaring that he does not intend to appoint another deputy game warden in Jack- son county. The article in the Mail-Tribune under Mr. Finley’s name shows the small mind which conceived it and will not tend to increase the respect of the people for the officer who seems to hold his private opinion and desire to be above the findings of our court. The old saying that, “the less some people know, the more they have to say,” holds good in this instance. 1915 Promises to be the Banner Year For the Farmer Prepare to Reap Your Share of the Profits by Having Your Ground in Good Condition and Planting only Clean Seed of Hioh Germination We Have a Large Variety of Field and Garden Seed and are Sole Agents For Luther Burbank's New Spring Merchandise Productions Arriving Daily Good Goods, Square Dealings, Right Prices Taylor - Williams The People’s Store Jacksonville Oregon PHONE 142 An Army’s Eyes. When people rend that nrnilcs are m- raging each other at 2.000 yards' dis tance they are apt to Imagine that the combatants can see each other, but as a matter of fact they cannot. At that distance It is impossible to disinguish between a man and a horse, and even at 1,200 yards, especially where there Is any dust, it requires the best kind of eyes to tell infantry from cavalry. At 900 yards the movements become I clearer, although it Is not until they get within 751) yards of each other that the heads of the columns can be made out with anything like certainty. Infantry can be seen in the sunlight much more easily than cavalry or ar tillery. because less dust Is raised. Be sides. Infantry Is distinguished by the glitter of the muskets.

One of the London magazines relates "one of the few instances in which a ghost Is recorded to have played a real ly practical part. It happened in Sicily some years ago. when an Englishman who was taking a solitary walking tour in the Interior of the island sud denly became aware that a friend of Ids who li.id died some time before was walking by bis side. A little far ther on he came across some brigands who were evidently lying iu wait to nt tack him. They looked at him and then remarked, witli evident surprise. ■Why. there are two of them!' and Im mediately hurried away, thinking it was not safe to attack them."
