OREGON SENTINEL.
JACKSONVILLE
Saturdat, May 7, 1881.
KATLKOAD XCWft.
We lavo jnst received some very
encouraging items of railroad news
from Portland, which strengthens our
belief that we are to have a railroad
into this valley at lafct Mr. Howard,
while in that city last week, had an
interview with Mr. Thielsen, Chief
Engineer of the Oregon fc California
Railroad Company, from which he
canclmJed that building would begin
jost as soon as the most desirable and
easiest line was located. The engineer
ing party m the canyon are running
oa a grade of one hundred feet to tho
mile, which is twenty five feet less
than can be overcome if it becomes
necessary, and Mr. Hurlburt, the en
iaeer, now thinks he can find a line
by which the summit of the pass will
be reached on a quite practicable
grade. Two lines are to be run, ono
on each side of tho canyon, and after
triking Cow creek Mr.xThielsen thinks
there will be no difficulty in reaching
the head of Evans creek. If this is to
bo the route, the road will run through
the Meadows, cross Rogue river above
Table Rock and, most likely, leave the
T-alleyhywayofLittlcButtecreektrike
the Klamath and run into Shasta val
ley. Another theory is that an outlet
will be sought up Bear creek crossing
the Siskiyou at tho stago pass butt be
yond tho mountain, the ground par
takes of tho same broken character as
among the Grave creek hills and this
route may not bo adopted. Hon
D. P. Thompson, whose opportunities
for observation are ample and whose
judgment is generally based on a well
ascertained state of facts, expresses the
pinion that within two years Rogue
river valley will have railroad connec
tion with tho outside world, and his
opinion is entitled to much weight.
Of course no one supposes a road will
have its terminus in this valley as it is,
no- doubt, intended to connect it with
tho California system as originally pro
jected. When it does come it will
xnako many changes and if our people
are not wide awake and ready to meet
tho now ordor of things there will be
not a few disappointments.
Chans of School Book.
State Superintendent Powell has the
following to say in regard to the change
of text books, to tako place in October
1001.
"The law requires that theso books
recently adopted should be introduced
into the schools by the first day of
October, 1881, and in order to make
the change nn absolutely inexpensive
one, these new books will be supplied
to the people till that tim", by book
dealers throughout the State, at tho re
markably Tow prices herewith sub
mitted, to-wit:
Introduction. Exchange.
Primary Arithmetic 15cts. 12cts.
Elementary Arithmetic ...r.30 25
Normal Written Arithmetic. .CO 4.)
Elementary Geography 43 30
Comprehensive Geography. .90 CO
Sill's Lessons in English... 48 30
Young's Gov't Class Book. . .85 CO
Brooks' Higher Arithmetic. .85 03
Bwinlon's Composition 27 22
Lyte's Book-keeping CO
The introduction price is himply the
retail price during tho period for in
troduction. The exchange price is tho
difference of price between the new
book and the old one of corresponding
grade in use heretofore.
If at any place in tho State a higher
price than those above given should
be demanded by any dealer during the
time for introduction, tho county Su
perintendent should bo notified of the
fact immediately, whose duty it would
bo-to investigate the matter forthwith
and have tho error corrected. It is
the expressed wish of the publishers of
theso vaiious books that tho people
throughout the entire State should
have the benefit of these extremely low
prices during the period of introduc
tion." riant I'riili Trees.
Whenever it becomes quite certain
that -wo mo to have railroad communi
cation with Portland we would advise
our farmers to turn their attention
largely to fruit culture. They must be
aware that there is little money in
whoat, except for homo consumption,
and our soil and climate is peculiarly
adapted to the culture of fruit, espec
ially peaches and tho finer variety of
grapes that can not be produced in the
Willamette valley. A large traffic
could be built up with" Portland and
other cities, shutting out California
products of that kind and quick trans
portation and fair freights would leave
a largo profit to those who had the en
terprise to turn their attention in this
direction. Those who will perceive
this advantage will be the first to plant
and bo ready.
Senator Jones, of Florida, has just
made a speech in the TJ. S. Senate
justifying slavery. His views are re
garded by his Democratic colleagues as
very ill-timed and impolitic, but he can
claim the merit of being more candid
that tho rat of his party in tho South.
HAIL Htl IDS.
In ductrssing "mail frauds" tha Ore
gon Statesman remarks that it "does
not want to believe that the SeNTiSk.
has a glamour thrown over it by a col
lusion with frauds." If the Statesman
wants to bo fair it will not say, either,
that this paper is "Brady's champion"
nor place us in a falee position. We
have expressed the opinion that the O.
fc C. Stage company have well carried
out the spirit of their contract, and in
such a way that the mails have been
delivered safely oh schedule time.
They have donB more carried 2d and
3d class matter through ahead of the
time required by the department) be
cause permitted to do it in their own
way. Now we venture to assert' that
this is either so, or not so, and if they
are behind time, with any class of
mail, the fact can very easily be ascer
tained, and in such case they should
have a clear defense. The company,
however, are ready for a searching in
vestigation and will not hide behind
Brady or nny other official if they hare
failed to carry theiirijs on time .which
should certainly be satisfactory no
matter how it is done. There comes a
growl, also, about the company choos
ing their own time to change from
slow to fast time. If the editors of
tho Statesman and Oregonian, who as-
SHUie to know the state of the roads so
much better than those who travel
them daily, will tako tho trouble to
read they will find the company allow
ed the privilege of choosing, in their
own judgment, when winter and sum
mer time shall commence, naturally;
because tho authorities conceded that
the company's superintendent had a
little common sense and knew just
what ho could, and could not, do. As
for mails being delayed in winter, the
charge is quite true. We have been
without mails in Jacksonville for ten
days at a time, but wo aro patient peo
ple, little disposed to growl and not at
all disposed, like Bros. Odcll and Scott,
to hold a human company responsible
for tho acts of the Almighty or expect
them to do impossible things. In oth
er words it is quite as reasonable to
blame tho Stago Co. with delay, when
streams or roads are actually impassa
ble as to blamo them for continued
nail robberies on the Siskiyou moun
tains that the Department never thinks
of looking after. This whole matter is
to be investigated and we safely pre
diet that it will be reported, that the
mails from Redding to Roseburg have
been carried during tho past three
years, faithfully and promptly and that
ulo iservictr "will do as' satisfactory to
the Department as it is to tho people
along the route, even if tho "letter" of
the contract has been disregarded. The
attack on tho stage company, has, per
haps, a deeper purpose; such as '"draw
ing a prominent Oregon politician into
the meshes of the net," but the Oregon
ian is advised in advance, that it will
bo a "water haul."
Tlio Fillies or Things.
People are enquiring whether the
county authorities intend to permit a
saloon to be opened right in the county
hospital and the enquiry is a very
proper one. If another bar is a pub
lic necessity, it does seem that another
location might be selected and that the
sick and unfortunate people who are
cared for by the public should be al
lowed to pass. their remaining days in
peace a thing not likely to occur if a
whiskey mill is established in the build
ing occupied by them. It is not in the
fitness of things that it should be al
lowed, and if permitted the "poor" con
tractor and county authorities will
earn no credit for themselves. For the
sake of common dicen?y, if wo must
have another place of this kind, let it
go elsewhere.
Cancelling Contract!.
Postmaster General James proposes
to cancel all contracts for extension of
star route services made by Gen. Brady
and begin "anew, and determine
whether increase in the service on
these routes was necessary or not.
Gen. Sherman's name appears on many
of the papers recommending increased
service in the southwest and the terri
tories, and his friends say that he will
undertake to justify increase of the
service on any of the routes which he
recommended as being necessary for mil
itary reasons. Gen. Brady's backers here
assert that the largest extension of
contract was made at the ranuest nf
Gen. Sherman, the secretary of war,
anu me uovernors ot lexas, Califor
nia, Dakota and New Mexico.
The Sunday Mercury, (Portland)
gives us this bit of homo news which
is news indeed:
We are in receipt of information
from Southern Oreson. klatinn- that. P
W. Ohvell,,of Phoenix, Jackson county,
has taken the contract to construct a
good wagon road from Jacksonville to
Crescent Citv- Mr. Olwell tho
owner of tho Phoenix flouring mills
and an energetic business roan. If he
takes charge of wagon' road enterprise
he will make it a success.
What Will the Han est Be?
We remark, and we are not alone in
our observations, a number of young
lads about this place, children of very
respectable parents, that aro permitted
to ttin riot in the streets after dark ap.
parantly uncontrolled by anything but
their own will. Every day they are
becoming more glto in profanity, and
some of then, not exceeding ten or
twelve years, are experts in all that
distinguishes street gamins in large
cities. Will parents never understand
that it is their duty to guide their off
spring into proper channels, and to
save them from the contamination of
vicious associations! If they permit
the seeds of vico to be sown in the
minda tf their children freely, by giv
ing them unlimited freedom after dark,
what can they expect the harvest to
bet It can be nothing but sorrow and
disappointment, and those parents who
are so blind or so careless that they
wont see what others do will surely
reap nothing else.
Sad Spectacle.
A tall, well-dressed, fine-looking
woman, evidently a member of respec
table society, was seen wandering
about the streets of the city last Sun
day, deeply intoxicated. A few per
sons who pitied her condition tried to
prevail Upon her to go home, but she
spurned their advice and reeled along,
a sad spectacle for church-going people
and their children. Portland Mercury.
The above item is well headed butj
is it not just as sad to see a man on
whom, perhaps, is depending the sup
port of a family in the same condition?
Drunken men can ba seen on the
streets of our cities overy day, unre
marked, and tho fact that a drunken
woman is so instantly noticed only
proves lion highly female sense of
propriety is estimated and how strange
it appears when they overstep the
conventional bounds.
The Chinese Treaties.
Senators Miller and Farley of Cali
fornia are daily in receipt of petitions,
urging action on the Chinese treaties.
It is said that they are trying to force
their respectivo parties to nave them
acted on immediately and that consent
will be given to have them acted on at
once. The treaties are of far more
importance to the country than a
thousand Gorhams or Riddlebergers,
and if the two latter were yoked to
gether and escorted to Sitting Bull's
Camp ho might "sit down" on them
and earn a free pardon and a pension.
...
v new road project is mooted in
Josephine county which has in view a
connection with Smith river valley.
The people of this county seem to take
no interest in it whatever and it is
useless to'"agltate" them again on the
subject of roads. It is really too bad
that we can not have a road to the
coast; but the people here think a
railroad will answer all purposes and
as there is no interest taken on the
coast the wagon road question will
hardly be referred to again.
