V.i?-e'P,43$linr,'Vr rjTfi - ,m2tv I OREGON SENTINEL. Jacksonville: i Saturday, November 5, 1881. EMIGBATIO.V. One of the great needs of the Pa cific Coast is more peopTe; This is es pecially true of Oregon, and more par ticularly of this valley. The completion of the proposed railroad through Southern Oregon will be the signal fosr the appearance of many of that class of emigrants, who are forever roaming about the world in a ceaseless search for what Land Office circulars call, "The Eden of the Universe." But it is not that sort of people we ni-ed. We already hae too many of that kind. This is no place for people who want all pay and no work. Of course we need, as does every country, men with moneyrwhoarc sufficiently far-sighted t consult their own interest by em ploying their capital in tho develop ment of our resources But the most de siraWe immigrants are the industrious, intelligent, practical farmers men who have been schooled in the steady, honest, economical Kabits-of every-day farm life. There are thousands of such men, living as renters on the over-crowded farms of the Eastr who are count hig their savings year by year, anil longingly looking out upon the greai West, with' the hope of one day plow ing farms of their own somewhere in the beautiful valleys beyond tKV Rock ies. Tho greatest obstacle to the cora ingof this class of immigrants is thr dif ficulty they have in obtaining truthful and reliable information about the West. Their most, available source of information is tho- "Land At;encies," or, as they are sometimes termed, "Emigration Bureaus." These Bu reaus are usually organized in the inter est of land speculators, and upon appli cation made to them will furnish an im mense amount of information, dexter ously arranged in their own interest and calculated to get the immigrant to come, depending upon them for assist ance in the selection' of home. The most accurate knowledge he can hope to acquire is generally embodied in glittering generalities and elaborate, over-wrought illustrations, which end in deceiving him, or, as not unfre quently happens, disgust him with the whole West and spnd him home, poor and discouraged. It is of no practical use to parade the fact that millions of rich tillable land are yet unsurveyed, or to enter into glowing descriptions of the natural beauties of this or that particular place, and to tell of the showers cf sunshine, bathing beautiful valleys, in golden- glory, and all that sort of thing, which may be all true and very good' to- know, but are noth ing to the purpose. What the prac tical, hard-working fanner wants to know, is, how is he to get possession of a few acres of these valleys, and what it is going to cost him ; where can he go to buy the land, and to whoim can he apj.ly to make the purchase, and how much wheat and corn and oats and potatoes wilL this land probably produce to the acre, and what can he get for it when it is produced. A plain, practical, business statement of a few facts from men, who have no in terest in deceiving him is all he wants to know, and it is almost always more than he can get nny one to tell him. There are here in this val'ey, thousands of acres of first class farming land, soon to be within eaiy reach of a gcod niftrkt, which- can be- bought at reas onable rates, and there are hundreds ot "ool. hoiiost, industrious fmmers in the East, who would be glad to come among u and to buy if they could but be furnished with, the plain truth :sboui our valley and its prospects Tlifi practical question for us in. how is this to 1h done? It is to the interest of every man who has made his home here-, that it should be done, and when the information is within the reach of all, it would seem that some elFective movement miht be- inaugurated, through which fur present advantnges and future prospects might be more generally and more accurately pre sented. Events in Ireland are rapidly ad vancing towards a final issue between thegovernment nd the Land Leaguers. The government continues to arrest the agitators and seems determined that its power shall be recognized and its authority respected even if its justice is not always admitted, while the malcontents have pushed their de mands to such extremes as not only to lose the sympathy and assistance of the moderate and sensible reformers but to incur their oen hostility. The "no rent" manifesto issued by the League was a buicidal blunder which has cost them their best support and is likely to call dowh upon their own heads the blow which a just and more, moderate policy might ha-e directed against their opponents. No man of cool judgment anil common sense will carry his sympathy for the oppressed tenant to the extent of insisting that they shall occupy the fontl without paying a fair ami Treasonable rent for its use. L'E MIXES, We find the followmg: in regard to our mines in the last number of the "West Shore:" The mineral resources of Jackson county, although its mines have been continually worked for 29 years,, are far from being exhausted, and, indeed, it is only within three years that effici ent hydraulic machinery has been in troduced. The Sterling mine, owned by Capt A. P. Ankeny, of Portland, and Mr. Frank Ennis, the latter gen tleman being saperrnten'dent, is with out doubt, the most valuable placer mine fn Oregon. It was opened sev eral years ago at an outlay of $100, 000; although its yield is not definite ly known by the public, the property is valued by its fortunate owners at 52,000,000. The mine is situated on Sterling creek, about eight miles south from Jacksonville, formerly ono of the richest mining camps in the county. It it estimated that 50 years will be insufficient to work all the ground owned by the company. Another large hydraulic mine, paying hand somely, is owned by a Chinaman on Applegate creek; and itill auother iwned by the Squaw Lake Mining Company on the same creek will soon be in working order, and promises handsome- dividends. The aggregate yield of gold dust in Jackson county, ince the discovery of the mines in 1852, is estimated by the best authori ties at about $30,000,000, and it is said that by the aid of modern appli ances and powerful machinery the mines will prodace quite as well in the future. Tempcrencr. In January of this year, the Legisla ure of Iowa passed an amendment, to he State constitution prohibiting the trade in alcoholic liquors as a beverage. This action was the result of much earnest and patient work on the part of the temperance people of Iowa, who, for a long time have been directing their efforts to the securing of such an amendment The amendment must be presented to the next Legislature, and if again passed it will be submitted to the people, to be voted upon at a special election called for that purpose. It is almost a foregone conclusion that the next Legislature will pass the amend ment, as it has been chosen with a view to this end, and the current of public opinion in the State appears to have set in that direction. There is, of course, much honest difference of opinion upon the merits of such an amendment;, but, despite this, every fair minded man must honor the men and women whose earnest, unremitting efforts have brought about t'ii's result. The political juggling that has been indulged in upon the temperance ques tion is a disgrace to our politics, and shows a contemptible cowardice on the part of politicians and political conven tions that is, to say the least of it, ex ceedingly inconsistent with our Amer ican freedom. It will be a happy day for this country when the platforms of political conventions will be in fact, as they are in theory, a free, outspoken ex pression of the honest convictions of the men who compose them unre strained by any political policy. When General Lee surrendered his sword to General Grant at Appomattox Court House, on the 9th day of April, 1865, the bonds that had been issued by the southern Confederacy, as every body supposed, lost whatever value they liad once possessed and ever since have been regarded as so much waste paper, or if kept at all were kept only as curiosities. It now transpires that these bonds have a market value, and are quoted at from 2 to 2i percent, in the city of London. Much suprise was occasioned by this announcement, until it was ascertained that a balance of live million dollars had been discovered in the bank of England to the credit of the late southern Confederacy. The holders of these bonds hope to subject this balance to their payment and hence the sudden rise in their value. General Drum, in his annual report to the General of the Army, says the losses in the army during this year were: Deaths, 2373; discharges, 6564; desertions, 236; total, 9173. The num ber of recruits assigned was 3805 and the number of soldiers re-enlisted was 1964; total, 5769. This shows an in crease of 1260 discharges and 13 deaths. The General recommends a change in the method of promotion to the rank of a field officer below the rank of Colonel, and this he thinks can only be attained by promotion in the army, instead of by a commission in a particular regiment Salt Lake, Oct 31st Chief Justice Hunter has decided in the case of Uni ted States vs. George Q. Cannon, that defendant's certificate of naturalization is null and void, and fraudulent. The court sustains Gov. Murray in grant ing certificate of election to Cambell, the Gentile candidate. This is the most important decision ever rendered in favor of Gentiles in Utah, and there is much excitement in the city ever it Which is Best? The so called "cheap" sewing machine which soon doubles its original cost in repairs, con tinually disappoints expectations, as to its performances and is always a source of vexation while it pretends to- work and in a short time refuses to act at all or the genuine well made reliable and durable machine whose first cost is its last The sewing machine like the watch to be any permanent value must be made of the best material.". highly wrought, beautifully tiniehed carefully adjusted. It is idle to ex pect these conditions to be fulfilled by companies who are making "cheap machines," and are liable to abandon the business at any time leaving tneir customers to their own resources. To buy cheap is to pay dear in the end. The new improved No. 8 Wheeler fc Wilson machine is the simplest in con struction of anyin the market, is the easiest to manage and is never out of order. Why therefore waste your money upon a (so called) cheap ma chine when for a slight advance in price you can purchase a first-class ma chine from a reliable company who will always remain in the business and carefully watch the interests of their customers. Whereas these low priced machines are fobbed out to country dealers and when the stock on hand is sold, the companies manufacturing them drop out of the market.

Holloway's Pills Never Despair Something that never fails Fever and Ague To the sick it is of little consequence how they are cured, whether from a rational view of the disease or by the rules defined for the guidance of the profession, so long as the cure is certain and expeditious. To a suffering man the question on the relative merits of quinine or calomel is uninteresting. The faculty may wrangle and discuss their various theor ies, but Dr. Holloway's treatment dis pels doubt ere the disciples of Escula pius have finished the first stage. ' Holloway's Pills are the only remedies which effect a speedy and radical cure without danger of a relapse. Bead the advertisement elsewhere. Important Caution.

For it is well known that straight whisky that is absolutely pure require age, great care and attention, and our old Davenport whisky possesses all the above qualities. The grain used in the distilla tion of our J. II. Davenport whisky is carefully selected from the finest, richest and very best grown in the slate ot Ken tucky. The water is drawn from one or the linest limestone springs in the state, the peculiar properties of which have gained lorKentucKy whiskies such world wide celebrity. This process makes our J. II. Dsvcnport a pure, hand made, sour mash whiskj-, and we claim that for deli cacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qual ities, it stands unexcelled. Yours truly. Sciiultz & Vos Bahqen.
