En. Register :- Your "South
ern. Oregon Corresponileiil" has
"change! base ;" ami after, a long
silence, resumes his task of pointing
a few items for your valuable paper.
In the iirst place, iermit riie to con
gratulate you on the marked im
provment in the appearance and
make up of the
REGtSTEE,
which is now tlte aqual of any paper
published on the Pacific coast. This
expression is not intended as a mere
compliment, but it is my honest con
viction. Your position, sir, on the
TEMFKRAXCE QUESTION
is the true one. Our temperance
people will press our political papers
into the temperance ranks by pat
ronizing none but those which ad
vocate temperance principles. A
temperance man, a Good Templar,
a religious family patronizing a pa
per which aids the liquor traffic !
"What inconsistency ! The friends of
prohibition are numerous in this
part of Oregon, and are constantly
and steadily on the increase. Their
votes will bp felt in the next elec
tion, aud you may rest assured that
not one of them will be cast for a
winebibber,- or for one who is not a
true friend of temperance. They do
not -require a candidate for office to
be a Good Templar, but they do
demand tliat he shall be an advo
cate of prohibition.
THE FARMERS,
stimulated by the present iiigh
prieas of grain, have sown .larger
quantities of wheat, and some oats
the Russian or winter oats ; and,
as the grain is usually put in well,
large crops may be expected next
harvest. I think the average sown
up to this time is nearly double the
amount sown last fall. A new post
office has been recently established
at the village of
UUEBARD,
a point on the O. tt 0. Railroad,
five miles south of Dutchtown or

ing of two stores, four families, and

it continued to snow and rain al
ternately Sunday and Monday, but

The weather is still cold, the ther

O. & C. Co.'s poles.
