The Salem Statesman tbas secured a
"scoop' by announcing that the S. P.
Co. have three projects under advisement
now which are of great importance. One
is the re-establishment of the Albany
local train, the second is the mnning of
two freight trains each way per day, one
being a local train for valley trade and to
run to that point only, and the third pro
ject, depending somewhat upon the sec
ond, is the establishment permanently of
a competitive freight rate to Salem from
Portland, so as to bid for Salem ship,
ping. Now, if the Statesman bad gone
on and run the local through to Califor
nia, and shortened the lime of the over
land several hours it would liaye done
the thing np brown. Soch reports sre
generally circulated during the early
summer, and by publishing them now
the Statesman proves itself to be several
months ahead of its old slow-zoing co-
temporaries.

To Aid the Nebraska Sufferers.
At a meeting of the board of trustees oi
this ci'y held on Thursday evening, Jan.
3, !S93, the Ministers' Association of this
city presented a resolution scttting forth
the destitution and sufferings of the
people of tho western half of Ne
braska, and asking that the board pub
licly present tho matter to the p:oplo by
calling a mass meeting of the citizens of
Roseburg ami vicinity to take into con
sideration the propriety of making ar
rangements to collect funds, provisions,
and anv articles which might be of bene
fit to tho Nebraska sefferers. The differ
ent railroad companies offer to deliver all
contributions free at the headquarters of
the relief committee in Nebraska, and we"
are assured by a committeo appointed by
the chamber of commerce at Portland
that nil contributions will be massed intu
car-load lots at that place nnd forwarded
free of charge'. By direction of the board
of trustees 1 hereby announce that a
meeting of 'he citizens of Itoseburg and
vicinity will bo held at the court house
on Tuesday evening, January 8, 1S95, at
:30 o'clock to consider this matter, and
also of making the necessary arrange
ments for soliciting and rccaiyiug con
tributions. It is hoped that till will at
tend the meeting, and that the question
rclativo to the relief of the suffering peo
ple of.Ncbraska be thoroughly considered
and such action taken iis may bo deemed
advisable in the matter.

Chief Shipping Point of the County
for Poultry and Eggs.
Oakland, unlike a typical agricnltural
community, has practically a steadv
revenue, earned and aid to her mer
chants every iay ol tlie year, wincli in
sures a constant circulation ot moncv at
this point, in sharp contrast to the
plethora of money in most farming com
munities dnriog harvest time, and a cor
responding dearth of the circnlating
medium during the rest of the year.
Thi3 prosperity which Oakland enjoys is
due Mirectly to the large shipments of
poultry and eggs from this .'point to tbo
Portland markets. The country imme
diately back of Oakland is especially
adapted to poultry-raising, and immense
quantities of chickens, dncss, geeso and
turkeys arc constantly being fattened on
theac lands for the tables of tho residents
of tho big city to the north. Tho finest
turkeys and geese sold in Portland dor-
iug the holidays are from the Oakland j
poultry-yards, and Oakland fresh eggs
are on sale in Portland throughout the
vear.
In-addition to tho shipments to Port-
Jaurlf Oakland nlso ships large quantities
of iKiiiItryand eggs to San Francisco.
Tiio importance of these shipments to the
prosperity of the town can bo appre
ciated from the statement that the
annual receipts from this source aluno
are no less than $300,000. This is n les
son for other communities of (ho north
west to profit from, and it affords a most
striking refutation cf the fallacy of tho
claim that small farmers :uo not pros
perous for the one reason that the" oppor
tunities afforded tho more favored classe
for attaining prosperity are denied them.
For tiio small amount of monjy invested,
and with the reasonable amount of effort
required, there is nothing that will pay
so well as small farming on Oregon soils,
and the success of poultry-raising around
Oakland, fruitgrowing in tho Willamette
valley and diversified farming in all parts
of tho state where the holdings of land
are not greater than can be worked to
advantage by a singlo family, furnish
more than an ample assurance that there
is a competency in tilling tho rich lands
of Oregon lo any industrious family that
will setilo on them.
Oakland has n population of about 500.
In addition to tho shipments of poultry
and eggs, largo quantities of fruit, wool,
and stock are stuple articles of export.
This part of tho stato is inviting to the
settler for tho reason that tho soil is pio
ductlye, and tho climato is mild through
out tho year, and wish the growth of the
rest of Oregon this section will continue
to mako tho samo rapid doyelopment
that has been noted hero during tho past
few yoars. Orogonian.

Oregon winter weather.
The health of the people of our little
town and its surroundings is good.
Hence the doctor is off on a visit but will
soon return.
On last Monday morning life and stir
in all directions could be seen as the
young tolks were making preparations to
go to Scottsburg to attend the New
Year's ball, and by 10 o'clock our little
town seemed almost deserted, as some
18 or 20 of our fun-loving youngsters had
left us for the danco. But notwithstand
ing, there was a pleasant evening coming
to those of U3 who stayed at home, for
word and invitations were soon given out
that there would be a candy pulling and
social party at Mr. Robert Haney's, and
by the time the friends had all gathered
in, tno house was lull and the fun com
menced, and as all readers of the Plun-
dealek know what theEe little neigh
borlyand friendly gatherings are it ia
useless for your humble servant to try to
describe one of tbem, for I am unable to
do justice to the occasion. But we trust
and hope that all may be spared to wit
ness the retnrn cf many a happy New
Year's eve.
Michael Lieber is again heard from, sot

Jack Abraham's.
You will remember that Goliath was
very much surprised when David hit him
willi a stone. So Jack Abraham's cus
tomers are surprised at the fine quality
of his gent's furnishing goods, and the
low price at which he disposes of them.
But Jack's rule i3 to please his customers,
as well as himself, by giving them the
best bargains possible. He buys with
cash, and therefore having no interest to
pay on debts incurred, he can Eell goods
at the lowest living rates. The ladies
cannot pass his store without stopping
and buying somMhiog for their "worser
half." Men meeting one another on the
street, generallyjask, "Where did you get
those goods? The answer always is, I
bought tbem at Jjck Abraham's and
sayed several dollars by doing so. Jack
has on hand and is continually receiv
ing new supplies of everything in tha
line of gent's furnishing goods, and will
fill orders for articles not on hand with
promptness and dispatch. Come and
look at his pins and gum coats, his over
alls and underalls, his hats and socks,
bis fine shirts and neckties, and his um
brellas to shield yon from Oregon mists.
As soon as you read these lines go right
to Jack's and he will bring happy smiles
to your face by a display of bis fine stock
of goods, and the low prices at which he
will take your shekels for the same.
Don't fail to call on Jack. Jack is always
happy when he is pleasing his customers
which he never fails of doing. Call on
Jack.
