Arthur's friends claim a large majority of the New York delegation. Senator Dolph on the I3'h present ed to the TJ. S. Senate a petition of the Good Templars of Oregon, officially signed by 5000 nismbor, praying for a commission of inquiry concerning the wholesale liquor traffic. M. C. George's bill to allow the Oregon PaciCc Railway Co. to con struct one or more bridges over the Willamette river in Oregon was on the 12th reported back favorably to the House of .Representatives. Postal notes are becoming quite popular with parties desiring to trans mit small sums. As they only cost three cents for a note of any denomi nation under five dollars, thsy will afford subscribers an excellent oppor tunity to pay up their arrears. Proclamation has been made by the Governor, attested by the Secretary of Stale, giving notice that on Monday the 2d day of June, 1884 will be sub mitted to the legal voters of this, the joint resolution of both houses of the legislative -assembly, declaring that the elective franchise in this State shall not hereafter be prohibited to any citizen o'n accaunt of sex. The Roseburg "Plaindealer" men tions the namo of Hon. Binger Her mann in connection with tho candidacy for congress. This gentlemen is a man of excellent abilities, is a good speaker, honest and temperate, and could have a solid delegation to the convention from southern Oregon in case he con sents to have his namo proposed bo fore the convention. He would make an excellent congressman. OurRepublican friend, ex-Governor Woods, formerly of Oregon, has great ly distinguished himself in defense of Marks, who killed the paramour of his wife in San Fiancisco. The "Chron icle's" report says: "At the close of ex-Governor Woods' argument there was great excitement in the court room and it was with difficulty that quietness was restored. The case was then given to the jury, and in a short .while they returned a verdict of not guilty. Marks was then released from custody." Governor Woods is un questionably the most brilliant orator now living in tho Pacific states; and, according to the views of the Boston "Journal," has not a superior in the whole Union. The Chronicle prints an article- to day referring to recent failures in Oregon, and discussing the business situation there. In conclusion it says: "Tho indebtedness of the Oregon busi ness community u largely in San Francisco. During the next six months jobbers of his city will have half of the interior merchants of Ore gon in their power, and it should be borne in mind that the security of the country is first-class; and'. that the pres ent distress is incidental merely, and not a settled or lasting condition. By an easy and generous course our mer chants may retain a great business which harshness, even to a degree con sistent with business justice, may di rect to another field. The new North ern railroad affords opportunities for other connections, and this should not be forgotten." . The general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company for the Pacific coast has received an announcement that an important re duction in through and local rates will KO into effect on March 1st. After that date the maximum? tariff between all points in the United States, now $1 50, will be 51. This will be day and night rate, the latter being abol ished, because it is found that while tho day business is very light night business is exceedingly heavy. To equalize the two the reduction has been determined upon. The reduction in local rates, however, concerns the night as well as the day rate. The cut in this instance is equal to about 33 per cent, of the new prevailing rates. The minimum rate will continue to be 25 rents, as heretofore, but the 30 and 40 cent rates are to be reduced to 25 cents; the 75 cent rate to 60 cents, while the 50 cent rate will contiauo unchanged. Nigut rates are propor tionately reduced. It will be seen that these rates have been made to conform to the new maximum rate of $1, which governs eastern business, but, unlike it, they are subject to re duction for night messages. By this reduction the rate from Jacksonville to Portland or San Francisco for ten words will be 60 cents, to Salcra 50 cents, Roseburg, 40 cents, Yreka 25 ei)ts, any point in the Eastern States 51. Southern Oregon. An event of great importance is tho opening of the railroad into Southern Oreeon. It is important both for that section of the State and for the State at large. Rogue river valley is one of the fairest and most fruitful portions of Oregon, Since its first settlement it has been the home of a prosperous and stable community, but owing to i's isolation its progress has been slow. Its genial climate, fruitful soil and great resources have not attracted the attention they deserve because there has been no means of transportation, and it has even leen a serious task to travel into that section or out of it. All thrre disadvantages the railroad has now overcome or removed, and this very important section of the State will now be drawn in closer relations with the other parts of it. This is a fact that siguifios much. Heretofore the portion of Oregon which the extension of the 0. & U. railroad now brings into communica tion with us has been united with mora bonds to tho people of California than to ourselves. The commercial rela tions of Southern Oregon have been with California rather than with us. Elections have been about the only in cidents to remind tho people of that section that they were connected with Oregon instead of California. Rogu river valley and the great country that surrounds it have capacity for yery high development. Every element of natural wealth is there. That beautiful valley is destined to be come the. fruit garden of the entire northwest. The climate is so much milder than that of the Willamette, and the rain fall is so much less, as to make thai portion of the State much more desirable for residence than this, while it has equxl advantages over eastern Oregon. A liberal policy on the part of the railroad will develop Southern Oregon astonishingly within a very few years. "Oregonian." Republican State Conven tion. A Republican convention for the State of Oregon is called to meet at the city of Portland, Oregon, on Wed nesday, the 30th day of April, 1884. at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the follow ing offices, to-wit: Representative in Congress, judge? ot the Supreme Ccurt, three presidential electors, and the dis trict officers for the several judicial districts, and to select six delegates to attend the National Republican con vention, and to .transact such other business as may properly come before the convention. The convention will consist of 206 delegates, apportioned among the sev eral counties, as follows: Baker, 5; Lake, 2; Benton, 9; Lane, 10; Clackamas, 10; Linn, 12; Clatsop, 6; Marion, 18; Columbia, 4; Multno mah, 35; Coos, 6; Polk, 8; Crook, 5; TillamooK, 2; Curry, 2; Umatilla, 12; Union, 6; Grant, 5; Wasco, 8; Jack son, 6; Washington, 8; Josephine, 3; Yamhill, 9; Klamath, 2; total 206. The same being one delegate at large from each county, and one delegate for every 125 votes, and one for every fraction over one-halt thereof, cast for Hon. M. C. George, Congressman at the last general election. The committee recommended that the primaries be held on Saturday, the 12th day of April, and the county convention on Tuesday, the 22d day of April, unless otherwise ordered by the proper County Central committees. The committee earnestly recommend ed that the delegates elected to the State convention attend in person, and if not convenient for them to attend personally, that thoy send their prox ies by electors of the county they rep resent. The Republican voters of the State without regard to past political differ ences, who are in favor of elevating and dignifying American labor, giving free popular education to the masses of the people, effectually protecting all human rights in every section of our common country, and who desire to promo'te friendly feeling and perma nent harmony throughout the Statu by maintaining a government pledged to these objects and privileges, are cor dially invited to unite in selecting delegates to the Republican State con vention. Sol. Hirscii, Chairman. Portland, Oregon, Feb. 21, 1884. Judge Smith of Portland has ren dered a decision in the State Circuit Court, which will be of interest to re tail merchants and the public generally It was in the case of Corson fc Rogers, who obtained judgment against H. H. Crozier of East Pertland for $10, for a pair of bhoes sold Crozier't sou, a minor, and came up on appeal from Justice Bybee's court. The plaintiffs claimed that though thb purchase of the shoes was not authorized, it is the duty of the parent to furnish Jus child with the necessaries of life, and the shoes in question were one of the nec essaries. Judge Smith decided that the defendant was not liable and granted a non suit. He held that in order to make a parent liable for ne cessaries of life furnished a child, there must be some agency expressed, or im plied between the parent and. the deal er. In other words, a dealer cannot sell goods to a minor for his own use and then hold the parent, nnless be has his parent's authorization. NEW ADViSrCl'lSKMENrS. 10 C8SH STORE!! M. j1.
