JACKSONVILLE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, J)O2 VOL. XXXII He Should be Bridled. LOCAL NOTES. R. L> Hume, king of the lower Rotrue river. w< uld be king of the en tire stream and ttie whole common wealth adjoining it were he allowed t tie opportunity. His latest venture is that of an attempt to drive a raft of logs from the upper river to Gold Beach. The undertaking was a fail ure, as anyone knowing anything at all about the obstructions in Rogue river would kuow it would be. I d truth it Is an evident fact that Mr. Hume cared but little whether the log» reached their destination or n< t. He has long prevched an open river; i ot for t he community, but for him self. Not satisfied with monopolizing the entire lower stream and keeping out many enterprises that would lx (>f vast benefit ti Onos and Curry counties, he is now attempting to put a check to enterprises that are being built in Josephine and Jackson c >un ties, says the Oregon Observer. There is nodcnyiug the fact I hat Mr. Hume is running the logs down the liver with no ether intention than that of ruining the enterprises inaugurated at Tolo and Dry Diggings, and promot ing his own sei fish interests. Wny should he go so far up after his logs? On ills own domain he owns thous ands o.” acres i f nine limber fully as good as cm be Lund on the upper stieam. Mr. Hume may manage to monopolize things in his own county; but he is treading on dangerous ground when he gels on this side of the fence. The holidays are here.

Tbe operetta was rendered in a faultless manner, and many a tiny tot brought cheer to her mother’s heart as she be held her child singing joyous Xmas carols and dancing about, full of the season’s happiness. All performed their parts cleverly. Miss Donegan was a perfect Santa Claus, and de served far more applause than she re ceived. The other girls spoke very distinctly, sang beautifully, and acted with ease and grace. At the end of the performance a gaily be decked Xmas tree hove in sight, and children’s pulses beat fast as they guessed when and how old Santa would remember them. Pnsents were distributed to 70 children, including several young misses who had been emancipated from the tbraidooi of the school room f »r some years.

NO. 52 A Good Bill Representative Tongue has intro duced a bill extending tbe provisions of the act relating to claims arising against tbe government on account of Iudian depredations. The present law provides for tbe payment of dam ages sustained by American citizens for depredations by Indians who are “in amity with tbe United States,” or were at the time such depredations were committed. There have been a great many instances, however, where Indians at tbe time of the beginning of their hostilities, and before such hostilities were sufficient to really put the settiers oo their guard, did considerable damage to tbe property of private citizens, particularly io Oregon, in tiie early days prior to tbe Indian wars. Citizens have sought to procure relief for these damages; but have been met by the construc tion that the Court of Claims and Congress have given to the word» “in amity.” Where a war has follow ed, or was in progress, the courts have refused to grant relief, and all efforts to have a more liberal con struction placed upon the law have failed, all judicial tribunals holding against the claimants. Mr. Tongue’» bill enlarges tbe preseot law to in- elude this class of claims. Took French Leave. E. E. Lyons, who baa a penchant for appropriating the property of others, is in trouble again.

Miss Rose Sargent, who recently returned to Medford from Jackson ville, has been pronounced Insane by Dr. C. W. Keene. She is not violent, her insanity being of a religious na ture. Sunday evening she was taken to Salem by S. P. DeRuboam and Mrs. A. R. Thompson of Jacksonville. Don’t forget the old man with the fish on his back. For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott’s Emul sion of pure cod liver oil—a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength. • SCOTT A BOWNE.
