A Splendid Show.
We rlip the following, regarding the min
strels who oien at Lane's Hall Tuesday, from
the Trinity Journal, C'ul:
Ainsley Scott's Jubi'ee SIn0ers comprise the
very best traveling combination that has ever
visited this section. Their entertainments on
Wednesday ami Thursday eveniugs drew
cowded houses and the vast audiences went
homo delights ), feeling that they had received
much morn than their money's worth in the
way of umns-mt'iit and entertainment. Where
all did mi well it would be manifestly out of
order to draw comparisons. To our northern
neighbors wo would say, if ysu can appreciate
a real good show, such as seldom travel, i'o
not fail to patronize the Jubilee Singe:, ai d
you will surely get value received. The pro
gramme present nl by this excellent company
ib entirely new, retiued aud of the bi jis t
order, the vocal and inxtrumental miiaic being
of a high standard. 'l'h choruses it-ere ren
dered in a manner which shrttvs Mitch practice
and a high ordcr of ability, while the lunhy
business is enough to break a man all up. Mr
Scott not oiily deserves praise, but the most
Ulicral patronage (or his efforts to please the
piilific. The brass band It a notable feature
aud deserves great praise;

soon be witnessed on the cart on this road
where the old familiar letters, O k C K R,

Married. At the residence of the Jut

ElUton, J P. Mr 0 C Boran and Mri Catba-
Iriaa Carlile, all o( Lane wooty, Oregon,
Nevttptpers.
The Taeoma Newt in ditcntting the value
and itabilityf newtpapera, taytj "A tuc
costive newAiper it not like a ninth room
which catr Jip in a night, and vanishes in
a day; irii rather typified by the tolid and
endnring oak, which grows tlowly bnt tare
ly, taking deep root and spreading itt
Branches no fatter than itt foundation wi!l
Varrant. The wrecks of mushroom journal
ism are bttnibered by thousands; tht sue
cesset are comparatively rare, aud generally
well deserved." Hundreds of newspapers
are started by a class of adveoturert who
htve every thing to gain and nothing to lose,
tud not meeting with the success they ex
peut, after a short trial, let their papert die,
and go to inflict themselves upon another
community in a similar manner. Having
neither the ability or the pertereranoe to
build up a paper of character or ttandiog,
they are forced to go the wall. 'Such people
imagine that a few fonta of type constitute
a newspaper, and that those who oootrol
such a paper control the Universe, The
facts are that inch concernt aroonly a dam
age to the communities where they exist.
They may exist (or a short time in tricki of
begging aod blackmailing, but their standing
it toon known. The Newt adds; "A newt
paper it simply a busiuest concern, with
both private aod public (unctions, and like
every other legitimate enterprise, must and
will stand on itt own merits, no matter what
exceptional efforts are taken to give it a
transient notoriety. A newspaper boom it
of all the booms the most deceptive and
ephemeral, the money spent in working it
np being in most cases thrown away, unlest
there it tu'jstantial worth and a Hid foun
dation for the enterprise boomed, with a
legitimate market for itt extension. If it in
not given to all men to become journalists,
the general publio ii the best poisible judge
of what it requirei and prizet in a newt
paper, and from this judgment there ii no
appeal. The growth of succesiful newt
journali hat generally kept pace with the
progress of their various localities, and hat
not largely exceeded thit progress uuleti in
exceptional cases." Ex.
Cisterns. The Engine Company came
out last Thursday evening for tho purpose of
testing the new cistern just built by private
parties near Mr T G Hendricks' residet.ee.
After totting, the cistern wat pumped dry
in lesi than three minutes. The gravel in
that portion of town seems cemented to
gether, bet tho citizens lit that nriglilorhooA
intend having the cistern tank deeper. The
Engine Company alto tested the old cistern
on tun corner of illamette and ISuith
streets, and after pumping ten minutes, with
two streams, only succeeded in lowering it
tmo inch.

Who it to blamt for this? It it a great pity,
since peoplt front all quarters of tht globt visit
thit place. Now, Mr Editor, this remark of
Mr Peten Is of more iinortanct than the
country at Urge gives it credit My exper
ience it that wt never realize our situation, un
til wt are placed einonii ilnngen and at some
noted place prepared for tlife exhibit of the pro
ducts of the country; then ws Monk around to
set if our state or county It represented and if
wt find nothing from home we are ready to say
at Mr FeUrt does-It is a pity. There are very
few men or women to destitute i of patriotism at
not to feel (mbarroteed lioibi such circum
stances. Fcf th coretruction that la put
by a stranger, upon nn-display of produce is
inability to produce that that It worthy or stu
pidity on tht part of tbt people of tueh locali
ty. Now tht timt it near when thit ttate
makes an txhibit of its products at the State
Fair Grounds and we bave It from reliable
sources that we will have every large attend
ance of itnngen at the coming fair owing M
tht completion of tht N. P. 11. R. and they
will expect to id a representation of the pro

to be thown at Lent county products and if
I have at good success aa I had at tht grand
exhibit at Philadelphia In 76, 1 wiU be very
well satisfied. Now If any one hat any fruit
or vegetable! that are meritotioui they can
leave a sample with F M Wilklni at the drug
tors in Eugene and I will take charge of them
etidrakethenUo the fair. Now at to the ladles'
ilel'arthitnt at tile ttate (air I have only to
judge the (uturt by the past when I soy that
have been placed in position to know that
Lant county has tome at patriotio ladiea In
representing the Ingenuity, tkill and Industry
of Lane, as any county in the state, and
In fact Uiey kavs been more than equal in the
iast and it hat been UirVlgh patriotio motive!
that both ladies and gentlemen bave exhibited
their product! -not for pay; (or you will
remember that the state bat never appropria
ted one farthing to encourage its agricultural
ixhtbitt, and It is tin only state in the Union
that isnot liberal in its annual appropriation,
and had it nut been for a friend individually,
we would not have been represented at the
Centennial In 70, as ths Legislature refused to
giva a dollar when it was needed and did not
give anything (or two years after It was over,
snd then only paid A J Dufur (or the money
he expended.
Now ss to the advantages to be gained by
attending an exhibit of products and animals
are In iU being the cheapest way of valuable
information, as for instance, if I wish to im
prove Iny stock it reqiilrei but one trip to
see the herds or flocki brought side by iule,
which it thi only way any man can Judge
who hat that that suits him best and the same
hldiK -rood in all other detriments. O, well,
lays my neighbor, I don't care care about these
and another tayi it la foolishness to make
those fine quilts, tidies and chlldrens' dresses.
Now the only way I can reaton in this case it
to tar that because my wife and I do not have
any of that patriotio pride about ui that it no
reason why our children may not have.and it it
our duty to give them a chance to show what
nature hat done for them. Youn,
M. WlLKINS.
To Cincinnati. The Bureau of Immigra
tion at Portland, on Wednesday, forwarded
for exhibition at the Cincinnati Exposition a
targe variety ot wheat, oati, barley, rye,
native and cultivated gratiet. These have
been tent in by tbe farmon of Oregon' and
Washington Territory, and they are as flue a
collection of the product! of the Pacific
Northwest at has ever beoo plaoed on exhi
bition. The wheat, especially in length of
headt and plumpncti of berry, ii remarkably
fine. The rye lent ii of the belt quality and
finest growth, while timothy heads men
uret from tix to thirteen and foorteen'lnches.
It is confidently expected that good reports
ill be heard from Cincinnati relative to
these samples.
TO ALL WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN.
Having purchrj&l the It V Howard wan-
home In thit place, one of the best located
and built warehouses, away from all danger ot
fin and noise of railroad, I am now ready to
furnish sacks-all new to those that intend
storing wheat tliit fall Having two of tht
very beet cleaners and a fourteen hone power
engine, I am able to do work fatter and more
of it than any other house In tht county. Like
heretofore, I shall always tndeavor to pay as
much at any other wheat buyer, and a little
mora when crowded.
N. B. Always on hand, a full and well as
sorted stock of Merchandise of every detcrlp
tion. . . .
