Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON SENTINEL JACKSOi tLXK I "Wednesday, : : April 9, 1879 BIOGEArHTC.il SKETCHES. S. D. Yxs DrKE. "Was born in Butler county, Penn sylvania, August 7th, 1809. He re mained with his parents until his eigh teenth year, when he engaged as an apprentice to learn the tailor's trade. After two years experience, finding his health failing, he abandoned the busi-: ness and returned home where he re mained, assisting in proving his father's farm, until he had attained the age of twenty-five. "Wishing to be come settled in life at that time he larried Miss Kizia Gilmore and re ed to Mercer county, then the resi- his wife's parents. There he engaged in successful fann ing until the Fall of 1845, when ho re moved to Leo county, Iowa, purchased ced in farming. cCTWBiPI. i , -, ,1 i ;. . i 1. , Jn 164a JMr. au-uvKo ieit ui iaiuuj and crossed the plains to, try his for tune in the gold mines of California. He worked in the mines with varied success until August, 1851, when he started home, by way'of Panama and New York, where ho arrived late in October following. In the Spring of 1852 he started with his family, for Oregon, arriving in this valley late the following Fall. After exploring the country for a location he purchased tho place where he now resides, near Phoo nix, from a man who had already loca ted on it, and began making improve ments. He has been almost constant ly engaged in farming until the pres ent, varying his business occasionally by running a freight team and selling goods at his own place. In 1S73 Mr. Yan Dyke met with the misfortune of loosing his estimable wife, and having no children who were not grown, ho was left alone. In 1875 he visited his early home in Pennsylvania, where he married his second wife, then Miss Sarah L. McDowell. Ho returned to Oregon the same year and again took possession of his old homestead where he is still engaged in successful farm ing. Mr. Yan Dyke is a member of the Old School Presbyterian church. In politics he is a zealous Republican. He never sought offico but has held several responsible public positions. Ho served one term as County Com- T3ioo. - i tuis. county. In Jue was elected a member of tho lower houso of tho Legislature where he dis tinguished himself- by an honest, con scientious and consistent course. He held the position of chief farmer and teacher on the Klamath Reservation during 18C5 and has been several times supervisor of his road district Among those who first fixed their homes in this valley there aro none more highly respected by those who know them best than S. D. Yan Dyke. THC EOADS. Complaints of the very bad condi tion of the roads in Douglas county continue to reach us. There seems to bo general apathy on the subject in that county and a general aversion against improving the roads or keep ing them in repair. Cow creek, a very dangerous stream, is for a certain time every winter quite impassable, mails are delayed sometimes for several days and much inconvenience is occasioned to travelers. This stream could be safely bridged at a cost, we are inform ed, of less then one thousand dollars, and yet, lying directly across the main and only line of travel to the "Willam ette, it is not done. If the people of Poseburg desire to retain the profita ble freighting business from that point to Jackson and Josephine counties they should make even a slight effort to put the road in a safo and passable ondition and keep them so. It Ihbyi continue to grow worse we will have to seek another out-let. Among the Pacific coast members on the senate committees are Jones, of Nevada, on finance; Booth on appro priations; Jones on commerce; Grover on manufactures, chairman; Sharon and Slater on agriculture; Grover on military affairs; Farley on naval affairs, Grover on postoflices and railroads; Booth and Hill on public lands; Slater on Indian affairs, patents -and territo ries; Farley on pensions and mining; Teller on claims and railroads and civ il service; Hill on mining; Sharon on education and labor; Jones to audit and control senate contingent expenses and on engrossed bills. Our. Governor is a model of economy. He has a bed behind a big map in one of the rooms of the Capitol wo are not sure that he sleeps there, though he usually breakfasts with the boss at the penitentiary, dines with our liber al-hearted banker, and gets his supper Bit of promiscuously around. If any- fdy's Governor can beat this for econ- r, trot him out, "Mercury- unisc rco&i'ixrs iv Ecrrarnsi ore-cox. Our mines have of late attracted much attention in the Northern part of this State and elsewhere where capi tal is seeking investment in mines. It should be made public that we have had one of those extraordinary seasons that depress miners and tend to"dis courage further investment During the months of December, January and February, when we should have had ample water, there was no falling w eather, nnd scarcely a single mine was in operation. Those watching develop ments failed to hear of any returns from the many mines that had been put in a good state of preparation, and shook their heads as if in doubt as to the value of our mining resources. It has been very unfortunate for this sec tion that just at this time we should experience so discouraging a season, but it must be taken into consideration that it was, without exception, the dryest mining season ever known in Southern Oregon. SiiKjJhifrin- ning of March tnc nuns na o rvery favorable, and on account of the in creased facilities for working, we are confident that more money will be tak en from the ground during tho present short season than has been washed out in any one season for many years. There need be no scare on the part of those wishing to invest "We will not, perhaps, have so cold and dry a win ter for the next twenty veara, and those desiring to reap the large profits of successful mining enterprises may safely take that probability into con sideration. "With regard to quartz mining we believe a new era is dawn in". Faith in the "Comstock" is wcak- ening and experienced men are turn ing their attention to this part of Ore gon, so rich in placer deposits, natural ly expecting to find tho matrix in place sufficiently rich to justify work in". "We have heretofore stated that our quartz mines have not been work ed honestly. "We repeat the assertion. They havo only been experimented with by men without experience either in mining or milling, and any such man who takes the money of another, washes it away in a tail race or con tinues to squander it without the slightest knowledge of tho value of the rock he is working, is not doing the square thing. There is no kind of mining that requires, so much scientif ic knowledge, saJz experience, so oarefu and many a riclMnhe that enriched its owners by dividends has impoverished them by assessments un der bad management. "When the ex perienced men of Nevada begin to drift hither we will either have in creased prosperity or ascertain that our mines are not worth working. Just such a miner as we need will soon commence work on one of our best ledges, and the dovelopements made will be looked to with much interest and be regarded as a satisfactory test The "Oregonian" contains a very able article on the question of city gov ernment and takes the ground that the hoodlum element in cities and incorpo rated towns should not be allowed a vote at municipal elections. As the majority of that element is generally concentrated in cities they can frequent ly neutralize the vote of those most deeply interested, and should not be allowed a voto when quiet, sober mind ed citizens are debarred from voting at school elections because they aro not property holders. It is a subject wor thy of consideration by our law makers. " The present session of congress is developing two facts one, tho solidifi cation of tho South, the other, the de termination of the South to rule. The success of Southern politicians in con trolling the committee's and patronage of both houses shows that they will ain their points in good time. J Tho great demand from the South now is the repeal of tho election laws. It seems of more importance to them than the success of tho cotton or tobac co crops, but as those laws are practi cally inoperative they are harmless and the demand is only a movo to cover up something else. Tho "Times" is of the opinion that Sheriff Bybce's deputy is very insolent Mr. Bybeo has two deputies, 3Ir. Sey- bert and Captain Caton, and they are unable to decide which the compliment is intended for. Will the "Times" specify? Tho public havo a right to know -which is the fiend. Tho "chief of tho Western "Star" has returned and apologizes for some unhandsome remarks made durinjr Irs absence about the Sentinel, charging them to "bad ink." Should we lose our journalistic equilibrium with re gard to tho "Star" young Mr. Mosher can attribute it to tho Frenchman's wine. Sabe? TnAcniKO. Mibs Ida Danforth has taken charge of a school in Idaho Ter ritory at Payetteville. 'IEAK.Eri5M. There seems a disposition to apply the above word to every species of ruf fianism and outlawry, unfairly, we think, and without warrant It is not fair to under-estimate the services of tho fierce, rough orator of tho "sand lots" in forcing the evil of coolie com petition with white labor upon the at tention of the country. It is unfair also to denounce Kearney as a dema gogue without looking into the motives that prompt his determined stand against Chinese immigration. Kear ney belongs to the laboring class and that class always finds tho widest and warmest sympathies among its own members, and God knows it will, too often, look elsewhere for it in vain. Smarting under the wrongs and suffer ings of the laboring poor, thrown from employment by the sharp competition of the Chinese invaders, Kearney struck the only key-note in the anti-Chinese question that reached the ear of states men and made them reflect It meant hut-siA htarchvv-5Lifei last that hunger was stronger than po litical allegiance, and that American manhood, no matter how humble, would assert itself even at the cost of blood shed. It was the fierce demand of Kearney and his compatriots, echoing and reverberating among the Sierras, across river and mountain and conti nent till it reached the rock bound shores of Maine and there found a stal wart champion that gave the anti-Chi nese movement a national shape and a national importance. It taught politi cians that votes were at stake and that perhaps the Pacific states held the bal ance that might decide the governmen tal policy of the Republic at the next Presidential election. Now that the question is understood on the Atlantic sea-board, the ultimatum of the Pacific agitators, "the Chinese must go," will find an echo in the hearts of the work ing poor throughout the country that will be potent in tho coming election and break-down all party allegiance. Let us bo fair to Dennis Kearney. Let us acknowledge him as another humble instrument in the cause of human ad vancement and necessary social revolu tion, as one who has dug a rough dia mond from the mine to be shaped and I polished and made lustrous by abler minds than his. We must remember that he comes from a wapn hearted race, always ready to break a lance in defence of the weak, always in sympa- with ihe poor, and not denounce or dishonor his name by applying it to every species of vagabondism. The immediate fruits of the movement in augurated by Kearney will be a "plank" in the national platform of both politi cal parties, as the threatening attitude of the oppressed laborers on this coast is so serious that it dare not be ignored. Ceasar received his due. Kearney should receive his and we hope he will continue to agitate this question until there is not a single Chinese on Ameri can soil and "Kearneyism" is no longer a word of reproach.
