A W OUD TO THE "TIMES. "
The "Democratic Times" of last
week had the following:
Wo were aware that Sheriff Bybee
had no intention of attending to tho
duties of his office personally. Yet,
no one expected that he would entrust
the management thereof to an insolent
deputy who takes a fiendish delight in
arbitrarily exeicising the petty authori
ty he is accidentally invested with.
Should I deem it necessary to ask
advice regarding my official duties,
the "Times" man's counsel would bo.
the last called for. So far as his criti
cism is concerned, to use his own lan
guage, it is simply, "insolence." Hav
ing given good and sufficieit bonds
for the honest performance of tho du
ties of Sheriff I nronose to ea ' that
they are efficiently attended toiWhen
tne puoiic interest is lixeiy to, suuer
from any negilgence of mine or.that of
mydeputies, it will be time for this
self constituted censor to seek distinct
ion through the exenise of hi3 eminent
journalistic talent Meantime he
should recall to mind the factthat no
infamous litigant law, for the exclu
sive benefit of ring organs, exists in
the State.
Wm Btbee, Sheriff.
Freak op Nature. About ten
days since a mare of Mr. , William
Penniger gave birth to a foal having
three fore legs. The two fore legs
were perfectly formed and in their
proper place; one of its hind legs was
also well shaped and proportioned but
where the other shoulder should
be is a shoulder and a fore leg somewhat
mal-formed and with the knee joint
bending out sideways. The foal was
fully grown but dead when born.
BY WILLIAM ASOCS XCFUEOSOS.
An old man and his little daughter
about thirteen years old called at the
residence of a wealthy farmer in Cali
fornia recently and asked for work.
The proprietor, supposing them to be
tramps, and having plenty of Chinese
help, turned them away. Next morn
ing they were found dead on the mar
gin of a small stream, tho childs head
pillowed upon her dead fathers breast.
They had evidently died of fatigue and
starvation. It was afterwards ascer
tained that they were from the East
and had been unable to find employ

It was tho Jackson
O. F. that furnished
Ashland Lodge with jewels and rega

late fire. An item is going the rounds

of Yreka with having supplied their
destitute brethren.

the cabin, the occurrence mentioned
and all enjoined to assist in recovering
the missing box from the evil "Joss"
who was accused of taking it. First
some incantations v.ero gone through
with that were of very imposing nature.
Next every light was extinguished and
tho men marched in single file several
times around tho outside of the cabin,
on each round passing through the dark
ened house. Strange to say, after this
performance had been repeated a num
ber of times the relighting of the lamps
revealed tho stolen box on the table
and yet none of the boys knew which
one had been in communication with
the devil. Len is satisfied, ho got his
valuables and some thieving rascal in
the camp saved his credit and queue.
Mr. Editor. It is the duty of every
citizen to assist in guarding tho inter
ests of the whole people of tho county
and State of which ho is a resident
Nor need he be untrue to himself in
doing so, for that which inures to the
interest of one is an advantage to all
in a public point of view. These
thoughts are suggested by an effort
now being made by certain parties in
terested in business at Rock Point to
induce the county to pay from four to
five thousand dollars to aid in the con
struction of a free bridge across Rogue
River at that point A petition is be
ing circulated over tho county at this
timo and citizens aro being importuned
to sign the same asking the County
Commissioners to appropriate the
amount of money above named for tho
purpose stated.
Be it known that Thos. Chavner has
ncja splendid new bridge across the
river, ono and a-half miles above Rock
Pom "where tho stages carrying the
TJ. S. mails and all other travel cross
at the most reasonable rates. And
taw bridge is situated on the most di
rect route from all parts of this valley
South of Rock Point leading to the
North. The road is better in every
respect than that leading from Darda
nells to the old bridge, and it has boon
rendered so by the individual enter
prise of Mr. Chavner. Every ono who
has ever travelled the road k"now3 that
near the old bridge, on the South side
of the river, it is rough and dangerous
because of its rocky condition. There
have been enough wagons broken on
that almost impassable-ortion of the
road in tho last fio years to pay for
the construction of a bridge bettor than
the old one. The road on the South
sum oi mo river, leaning to tiie new
bridge, is gravelled and passable for all
manner of vehicles at all times of the
year. Mr. Chavner has spared neither
time nor expense in making it so with
out asking the county or any one else
for a single cent. Then why this effort
to add to the heavy burden of taxation
already borno by the projicrty owners of
the county in tho construction of a free
bridge. Rock Point makes nothing in
tho operation, as tho road leading from
Chavner's bridge North passes directly
through that village.
So far as the people of Foot s creek
are concerned they constitute but a
small portion of the population of the
couuty, numbering only thirty or forty
voters, and while their interest are to
be guarded with those of other citizens
they are too magnanimous to expect nil
to become &ulordinate to their special
and exclusive wants. If it is inconve-
njpnr for thptn in ronoTvo lio! moU
Rock Point they can apply for and
have a mail of their own. The old
bridge at Rock Point has long been a
"white elephant" on the hands of the
county authorities. It has been con
demned as unsafo by the County Court
for four year?, and it is located on no
county road. Tho location is in no re
spect equal to that where the new
bridge is constructed. On tho North side
ot tne river me apron nas been once
washed away, and Chavners bridge
would be safe when the old one would
be washed away. Nor can there be
one constructed at Rock Point that
would bo safe from high water except
at the heaviest cost
Again, in regard to the people of
Foots creek : It is not especially ne
cessary that they should purchase their
goods and groceries at Rock Point.
Merchants at Jacksonville sell equally
as cheap, and certainly do not feel dis
posed to be taxed heavily to divert
trade away frcm themselves. I am an
old resident of this county. All my
interests are here. Not one cent of my
capital is invested elsewhere, lut the
county receives taxes on every dollar I
possess.
Nov., taxpayers of Jackson county, in
concluaion one more word. Our taxes
are now high. This effort to incrcaso
the burden is in the interest of a few
individuals and not for the benefit of
tho wholo people. Chavner's bridge
is safe and the approaches to it are
good. Footmen pay nothing for cross
ing, and all othcra cioss at reasonable
ratc3. Be careful then when rked to
sign a petition to increase your burden,
to plexso tii caprice of a few parties
who imagine ti.?t they can hoodwink
the public and thereby put money in
