After the fire at Jacksonville New Year's morning a silver medal with numerous em blems of the Masonic order was found in the ruins of the New State hotel by J. H. Hoff man.

Their designs, even for the cheapest dwellings, are tasteful, picturesque and elegant. Annual Meetrnf At the annual meeting of the Board of Managers of the Oregon State Agricultural Society, held at Salem, on Dec. 4th, and f th, 1883, by vote of the Board, the execu tive committee was instructed to prepare a statement for publication to the people, relative to the views of the members of the Board, uuon the subject of licensing the sale of spirituous liquors and the practice of the gambling devices. We conclude from the comments of the press of this State, that large numbers of the people as well ai the editors of the papers published in Oregon are under tha impression that the officers of the Oregon State Agricultural Society have been licens ing the sale of spirituous liquors on the fair grounds and the gambling games practiced during fair week. In view of this fact we have deemed it but just to say that this Society has not in years past licensed the sale of spirituous liquors at any of the fairs; nor have we licensed any of the gambling or soap games, but on the other hand we have endeavored to prevent all persons from engaging in the violation of the laws of this State, by warning them of the risk they run of being prosecuted and punished by the proper offi cers of the county, and we will not prerait or allow any one to engage in or sell spirit uous liquors or engage in any gambling de vice upon the fair grounds, so far as pos sible for us to prevent the same. Iu view of this fact, we would ask the papers of this state to publish this state ment, and also to state to all persons that it is the determination of the officers of this society to ask, and demand the co-operation of the civil officers of Marion conuty to arrest and punish all persons that may be found at or upon the fair grounds of this society, engaged in any violation of the laws of this state. We sincerely hope this warning will be heeded and that all persons coming to our far, will refrain from attempting to prac tice or carry on, or engage in any pursuit for which they will lay theimelves liable to arrest under the laws of the state. We would ask all good citizens in atten dance at the fair to aid us in giving the necessary evidence to the officers to insure the conviction of all persons, who may in anyway violate the laws of this state. The board of managers at the same meeting passed the following resolutions and we would ask the papers of this state to give us space for their publication that all persons may be informed of the action of the board upon the subject as to the coarse we intend to take toward all persons found upon the fair grounds viola ting the laws of this state. Resoleed. " That no licenses shall be granted by this society at the next annual fair for the sa'e of spirituous liquors." Renolvtd. " That no license shall be granted by this society for the operation of gambling device prohibited by the stat ute of Oregon. ' By order of the board of managers. J. T. Appecson, President O. S. A. S. County Court Jam Term, The folio wirg orders were allowed and ordered pa'd: Jacob" & Neugass $1,83 for supplies for pauper Sheppard; Wash How ard $15,60 for bridge lumber; Allen & Woodward $3,50 1 case coal oil; Frantz t (.'on tier $40.53 for bridge lumber, J. F. Hadley $13, for lumber; D. Carlisle $3, for drawing jury list of J. P. court; T. J. Blair $2, for assisting the same; H.

Hamar $12, for work on bridges; Sol King $393,25 for services; city Transfer Co. $2,50 for hauling; B. W. Wilson $5.1,25 for services; Andrew Emrick $30, for keep ing pauper Sheppard; Alex Lamb $-'8, for keeping pauper Mathews; James Edwards $9, for services; Caleb Davis $6,80 same. On the matter of repairs on road and bridges from Jasper Newton's to the sum mit, ordered that $100 be applied for that purpose, under the direction of Wallis Nash and Brink & Wright. On Thursday evening of but week short ly after Burbank was confined in the county jail, and as it had been so long unocupied, the stove pipe had sliped down so that the smoke filled the room, and the soot in the chimney took fire. Parties in that vicinity hearing the prisoner's cries and seeing the fire issuing from the chimney supposed the building was burning, and lost no time in giving the alarm, which was promptly re sponded to by the fire company, but ere they reached the scene the fire had spent its force and their services were not needed. The only damage done was to the "fire boys" who were compelled to take the middle of the muddy street with the engine, and who would probably scrupln to enter a dress-par ty looking as they did after the engine was housed. Tbe development of the Whit worth coal mines, twenty miles from New Tacoma, goes apace. These mines are owned and oper ated by the South Prairie Coal Co., a cor poration organized under the laws of that territory, with a capital of $250,000. - At the present time there are only fifty men employed at these mines, but the company is making active preparations to put a large additional force at work in the near future. They are now building a large number of new houses, which will be rented to the employees at four dollars per month. We learn that one night last week says the Timet Mountaineer, some rascal put poison in the grain of Mr. Chas. Brazee, (son in-law of Mr. James Eaton, of Spanish Hol low, in this county ), which he fed to his horses. The result was that it killed four of his best horses, and one that was owned by Mr. Eaton, also two calves, and all his hens fifty in number. The neighborhood called a meeting, and upon investigation found, as stated, that the grain was poi - soned. Whoever this scoundrel is, he should be prosecuted to the full extant of the law. Temperance Department EDITED BY THE W. C. T. U. Drinking a Tear. "Boys, I won't drink without you take what I do, " said old Josh Spillit, in reply to an invitation He was a toper of long standing anl abundant capacity, and the boys looked at him in astonishment. " The idea, " one of them replied, "thatyou should pre scribe conditions is laughable. Per haps you want to fix one of your abominable mixtures on us. You are chief of the mixed drinkers, and I won't agree to your conditions." "He wants to run us on castor oil and bran dy, said the judge, who would willingly have taken the oil to get the brandy. "No, I'm square, " replied Spillit. " Take my drink and I'm with you." The boys agreed and stood along the bar. Every one turned to Spillit, and regarded him with interest. ''Mr. Bartender, " said Spillit, " give me a glas3 of of water. " " What, water!" the boys exclaimed. " Yes, water. It's a new drink on me, I admit, and I expect is's a scarce article. Lemme tell you how I came to take it. Several days ago, as a passalof us went fishing, we took a fine chance of whisky along, an' had a hcip of fun. Long toward evenin' I got powerful drunk, an' crawled under a tree an went to sleep. The boys drank up all the whisky an' came back to town. They thought it a good joke 'cause they'd left me out thar drunk, an' told it around town with a mighty bluster. My son got holt of the report an' told it at home. Well, I laid under that tree all night, an' when I woke in the mornin' thar sot my wife right thar by me. She didn,t say a word when I woke up, but she sorter turned her head away. I go! up an' looke I at her. Sie still didn't say noihin' but I could see tint she was chokin.' " I wish I had suthin' to drink, " s's I. "Then she took a cup what she fotch with her, an' weut down to whar a spring oiled up, an' dipped up a cup ful an' fotch it to me. Jes as she was handin1 It ter me she leaned over to bide her eyes, an' I seed a tear drap in the water. I tuck the cup an' drunk the water and the tear an' raisin' my hands I owed that I would never after drink my wife's tears agin; that I had bsen drinkin' them for the last twenty years, an' that I was going to stop, You boys know who it was left me dit'.nk.

Editor Gazette : As you so kind ly invited us to give to the public through the medium of your paper some of the proceedings of the W. C. T. U., we gladly avail ourselves ol the opportunity, as we are always anxious to keep before them our object, aims, ifcc. Our object as we have so often stated is to push on thj temperance reform, and by every mean, in our power, to arrest the thought, awaken tbe sympathy and arouse the impulse of the people. It is not strange that those who thiuk it quite proper for an actress or singer to appear before ap plauding thousands for fame or money , should object to hear from a woman's lips reasons why christian people should think it a privilege to abstain, or good news for the poor drunkards that our heavenly Father is willing and able to break their chains and en able them to overcome 1 Is it woman's duty to sit quietly at home while men all over ouiAand are digging pitfalls, in the shape of licensed saloons, for her husband, brother, or son to fall into? When rumsellers ate killing the people for gain, when they are coining money by making society fester with corruption, shall we sit by quietly and let the satanic work go on 1 "Nay verily." God has sounded a call unmistakable and imperative, to the woman of the country, to gird on their armor and help man diiva out the curse. Shall we not all obey the divine call 1 Since our quarterly report, we have had several interesting meetings. We had the pleasure of a visit from two earnest si-:ters of the Albany Union. We discussed at two meetings the question "How can we arouse parents to a greater sense of their responsibil ity." We felt it was a question which still needs much thought. On the 23rd of Dec we observed the 10th anniversary of the birth of the crusade by holding a prayer meeting. The crusade Psalm (146) was read and its divine teaching carefully studied, fer vent prayers were offered and grand old crusade hymns sung. We felt God to be very near us in this great work. A thank offering was taken up for the National Union. At a recent meeting, a motion was made and carried, that we should have a committee to visit the sick, as many of our members were ill. Mrs. Hulin, Mrs Nash, Mrs. B. W. Wilson and Mrs. Graham; and I would here say, that any one of the Union who are indisposed and would like to have a call from this committee, have only to send word to the secretary and she will notify the committee at once and they will promptly respond. We have each week a prayer meet ing of an hour, from three to four. to which a very cordial invitation is extended to all. Our topic for Scrip ture lesson on Wednesday ne:;t is "How to take thecity;" Joshua, Chapt. 6th. And would urge all, wives, mothers and sisters to join us in play ing to God. the source of all power, to help us to overthrow the city king al cohol has built up, until it shall fall flat L. H. A, Itee. Sect. State Temperance Alliance. The Oregon State Temperance Alli ance will meet in 13th Annual session in the city of Portland on Wednesday, Feb. 20th, 1884, continuing three days.

Now, fellow-workers in tbe cause of humanity let us come to this meeting with renewed zeal and a fixed purpose to press the battle to the very gates as above all previous years. When mosi. important elections both State and National are in the near future, when the people aie thinking and act ing -upon the question of questions the total Prohibition of the cursed liquor trafic, when every man and woman should be actively engajed in this fight for our country and our Homes, through a more systematic organiza tion, that we may be the better pre pared for the iRp.EPaesiBLe conflict, for combat deepens and now is the time for action, actios, ACTION.
