OREGON SENTINEL. JACKHOJVV lt,LK i Saturday, July 21, 1883. EDITOBI 1L NOTLSi The Willamette valley is Jubilant and excited' over the presence of a circus. Thero has not been a- show here for three weeks and lots of people who cant- pay the smallest kind of a grocery bill are mourning the lack of amusement. They are to be sympa thised with. Chief Lappus of the Portland police has been removed and W. II. Wat kinds appointed in his place. This is ft fair selection but whenever William begins to speculate in such ghastly property as the ' Bradly plant" and wink at open violations of the law he should go also. The "Northwest News" h con tinually prodding tho "Oregonion" by exposing its editorial thefts from Eastern exchanges. If the "News" had the slightest consideration for the readers of the "Oregouiart" it would hush up- as the stolen- cditoria's are much better reading than any thing produced in Oregon would be. National politics are already begin ning to simmer and the all absorbing question is: what city is to -be enriched by the gathering of the republicm National Convention and the usual large crowd of strangers. If our dem ocratic friends were assured of the offices they would scarcely wrangle over so trifling a point as the place of holding tho convention. The San Francisco "Post" predicts that by the time all legal resources are expended in the case of Miller, the alleged murderer of Dr. Glenn, "it will be conclusively shown that Dr. Glenn shot himself in tho hack with a double barreled shot gun." If the defense will send to Jacksonville for witnesses they can prove that "Sours," who cut Charley Hanna, was tho uun that hurried Dr. Glenn oQT The telegraph strike throughout the United States commenced at 9 A. jr. on Thursday. It is a heavy and ex pensive "blow to the commercial in terests of the country but the Western Union next to the Central Pacific in greed and rapacity will bo a heavy loser. The telegraphic fratprnity are hard worked and poorly paid consid pring the years of experience required and it is to bo hoped that they will be able to force reasonable terms from a corporation thut gets greedier a3 it grows richer. Ourcotem says Sheriff Jacobs knows his duty without suggestions from out siders. If our memory serves us right jt is only two weeks since Sheriff Jacobs was arrested by order of the Hon. Dist. Court of tins- Dis trict for contempt. Now "contempt" is certainly no part ot a sherifTH duty and, logically. Judge Hanna is guilty of a great b'under or sheriff' Jacobs didnt know his duty. The "Times" can grab cither horn of the dilemma but will probably stand by the sheriff as his patronage is mostproGtable. The point for the depot for the center of this valley and where the freight and passengers for Jacksonville will be landed is- yet unselected no matter what any one may say to the contrary. There is a manifest disposition on the part of the railroad managers to con sult the wishes of the peopla of this town respecting the site and, as thii is the most important shipping point in the valley, such a concession is certain ly due us. It is then to be presumed that the depot will; in consideration of our convenience, be Tit tho nearest possible point to Jacksonville. The consolidation of Washington Territory with Oregon as a- Co lection ' District is centainly a-serioui mistake. The work in tho Internal Revenue Office in this State, which is only one district, has been constantly increasing and the force has been entirely inade quate to dischargo the duties. The consolidation, however may result in a re organization which will give South ern Oregon a Deputy Collector. Such an officer is badly needed here and Bhoald ho be appointed he will find plenty of work for his pay and be an accommodation to the public besides. Ex. Gov. McOoofc'cf Arizona thiuks Indian criminals fchould be punished the same as their erring white brethren who commit crime. Cook is correctbut it is catching beforehanging and, after the Apache , devils were captured by Genl. Crook, none of-the brandies of the government wanted the responsibility of either hanging or feed ing them. They should havo been turned over to tho Mexicans whose country they havo so long plundered .with impunity. That pople would have slight scruples in converting them to "cood Indians'- by the hempen method, Chapter on Ballroadt. The near approach of the rnilroad is a subject of much speculation and divers opinions are held concerning its prospective benefits and disadvantages. Some think it will ruin our valley; some, going to the other extreme, declare that it will make this portion of Oregon an Elysium and that, when it reaches us, the col den link will have been forged that will bind us to fortune. It is difficult to see how it can damage the trade or ii jure the prospects of a section now almost entirely agricul tural and; on the other hand it is not quite apparant that unearned prcs perity a ill ba forced on us, whetfcer we will or not. No one has reason to say in advance that we will be treated unfuirly by the railroad company and, judging by their policy towards the community nortn of us wo shou'd rather predict the reverse. Assuming fair and equitable treatment and the lowest possible freights ifc remains with ourselves to decide whether we will take advantage of the new order of things or net; by producing something that can be transported to a market at a profit or sit idly and listen to the rush of the passing.trains in expectancy of picking up a harvest of greenbacks when they shall have assed. Those who drift into the new channels of trade opened by our connection with the outside world will profit by the new order of things but those who set and suck their thumbs mourning for the o"d pioneer days and cursing the rail road because they dont get suddenly rich, will find themsplves left. The question of freight and fares will have -omething to do with the problem of our ruin or our prosperity and, no doubt, -the railroad company will be wise enoigh to pursue that policy that will conduce most to the growth of this section and, ns a natural sequence to their o-vn advantage. At all events we see no reason to predict disaster or indulge in premature rejoicing. Lands Withdrawn. We mentioned last week that there was a strong probability that all lands within the railroad limits would be withdrawn and the odd numbered sec t ions revert to the campany. By fa"or of Hon. W. F. Benjamin, Register of the Roseburg land offices we give the public the following information. The terminal lino of withdrawal extends diagonally from nar the center of the east line of Twp 33 S R 1 W of Will- nmette Meridian to the S W corner of Twp 33 S R 5 W and passes near the head of the right hand' fork of Jackson ceek. Mr. Benjamin's lptter under date of Jul) 17th is authoritative and will be better understood than the garbled press reports on this subject. It says: Ed. SnxriXEL: From and after 16 th inst nil odd numbered sections of land opposite the line of definite location of the 0. & C. R. R. within the 30 miles limit are withdrawn from sale to the east line of section 21 T 3G S R 3 W and nil even numbered sections within the 20 'miles limits nre increased to 2.50 per acre. All pre emption filings made priorto the date of filing the digram of withdrawal will be allowed to perfect cntrv at 1.23 per acre. All entries within the ten milo in demnity limits on even numbered sec tions will continue to be sold at SI 25 per acre. No cash entries will be allowed hereafter within 20 miles limits and the even sections can only be en tcred by pre emption homestead on timber entries under ace of June 3 187S all at 2.50 per acre Home stesd entries will cost now within the 20 miles limits as follows: 160 acres, 522; 120 acres, 19; 80 acres, $11, 40 acres, 8; and within the indemnity limits on the even sections the same as heretofore. Yours truly, Wm. F. Benjamin. Well limed. Our contemporary his some well timed remarks in last weeks issue on the lack of public spirit in Jackson ville but we doubt if any thiug short of a keg of dynamite or Gabriel's horn will ever wake up our sleepy, selfish citizens. When an efloit was made to have tho railroad built so as to touch the nearest possible point to Jackson ville a few liberal citizjni stepped foi ward and contributed more, in pro portion to their prospective gain, than could revonably be demanded and the rest lay back laughing in their sieves to see others paying for the seeding. while they were to reap the harvest. Thi project fell through, however, and llioso w ho showed a mean and niggard ly spirit must stand or fall with the balanceormake room fon people who do not regard the rest of the community only as a leech does a bit of flesh. Some day the inistako that was made will be more plain than now and if a liberal etfort is not made to connect us with the railroad by means of a first class macadamized road the error will be a second one that will result disas trously to Jacksonville THE FUTUItE OBEUON. One need not be a prophet or a seer to predict that Oregon will be a popu lous and thrifty State inside of fifteen years. Perhaps it is both populous and thrifty already, in a certain sense; but there is in store, for this State much that is not dreamed of. Let us take two States Georgia in the South and our own Oregon. Georgia has nine Representatives in Congress and Oregon has one. Within twenty years, at the outside, Oregon will have a representation greater than Georgia; and Georgia is the most progressive State in the South to day. Oregon is the beauty spot of the Northwest, and the people of the East are looking this way. They looked toward 'the South at the close of the war; they sent 'their money down there and built railroads and cotton mills. They tried in every way to assure the people that there was no line between sections; and there was an effort on the part of those who went into the South to persuade themselves that all was lovely. But all was not lovely, and there were losses that taught investors .to draw out, and look for o'ther fields. The Northwest is tho best of all the fields, and the enterprise and capital will make a break for this quarter. Along the intervening country there is opportunity for large investment; but it is on a scale of mining or ranch ing that does not call for miscellaneous investment. We see the glories of broad acred wealth' in Dakota and Montana-and-admire it; but here in Oregon we have society, wealth, sell "ols and all that goes to make life perfect; and, added to this, room for limitless addition to the population. Of course if is possible to-delay the consummation of Oregon's future greatness. It is possible by a sort of clannish- proscription- to discouratei new enterprises. Something of this has been manifested toward our own paper, but there has been an over whelming majority of substantial wel come that has served to plant' us on the rock of ages; and this makes us believe that the spirit of liberality and welcome will predominate anil lead to future greatness. It is certain that what lingering spirit of proscription there-is nvust'go t& the wall, and that the generous spirit of welcome will prevail. It is for the goid cf all that we should make room and say "Cornel" There can bo Nothing for Oregon in the role of a sequestered corner; and since it is true that Portland, as the principal city, seems to nil incoming htrangers to be a mnst desirable place, it must follow, tlrat the tide will set this way. It is the selfish who are crowded not the generous. The gen erous succeed, and. the spirit that gives welcome to every-new enterprise will be the soul and life of tho Oregon of the near future. "Northwest News' Wade Hampton" has been making another of his fiery speeches and is bound to keep the bloody shirt afloat. He, himself, will be to trie democratic party likethe shirt of "Nessus" deadly poison: iwMeaa tflEE). FIESTER. fa Deer creek villey, Josephine county, June 20, 1883, of crouD diphtheria. Emma D. D.
