The Blockade Raised. Tha overland train, which was block aded in the Siskyous for several day 6 last week, arrived hero at S o'clock Saturday, morning. The cars were covered with snow- and presented a vcy wintry ap pearance. Although, the delay was err annoying to the passengers, yet they said they- enjoyed themselves much better than they expected, as numerous plans for passing the time away were devised. . , Bro. Miles All Right. J. V. Mile?, one of the colored miners who recently went to Coos county :to work in tha coal miners, has skipped with .1 II belonging to the miners. After going to Coos county the negroes did not find things exactly as they expected, and through the influence of Miles and the white miners they were induced to quit work. A numoerof them were tarnished transportation to San Francisco, and Miles was made the custodian of the funds. In a few days after arriving at San: Francisco Miles absconded, leaving his brethren in a destitute condition. Laud Subject to Entry -United States Land Office, Rose burg, Oregon, January 24, 1S95.

St. 3f. VtiTcn, Register. Was Not the Jim Jams. Rosxbckg, Jan. 25. To the Eorros: In today's issue of yoar respected journa there appeared an item under the head of "Yoncalla News" referring to the finding of a man on Saturday last in a delirious slate, wading in Elk Creek. The man was discovered by Oscar TbielS and Geo. Staley, and was brought to Rosebnrg for treatment. Although there were no name3 mentioned, 1 know that the article referred to me, end snch being the case I would beg leave to ask you to kindly make a correction in justice to SBysell and the many kind friends who have cose to my assistance. The article Mates that it was undoubtedly a .case of delirium tremens, and I will say in ex planation that such is not the case, as I am cot a drinking man and am strictly temperate. It was just a case of tempo rary aberration of the mind, caused by extreme hunger and exposure, brought about by a trip on foot from Portland in search of work. Being unused to such hardships all my life my system natur ally caved in nnder the strain, and hence the temporary unbalanced state of my mind. Hy feet were frozen and I am bow under the care of a physician. A. G. Pnuicr. Grand Rally at Yoncalla. Yoxcaixa, Jan. 24. Captain Peters, post commander of Oakland poet of the G. A. R., liaving received orders of the department commander to organize a G. A. R. post at Yoncalla, Jan. 23, 1695, met the genial post commander of Drain, Dr. J. P. Easier, on the field. They found 16 charter members, and forth with proceeded to muster according to G. A. R. law, naming the child Gen. EOet Post. Then the election of offi cers followed, towit: A. W. Lamb, Post Commander; L P. Kinman, Sen. Vice; John A. Tracy, Jun. Vice; Ir. H. Palmer, Chaplain; E. Jones, Q. M.; .Martin Gulh, p. Day ; George Warner, A. J.;W. S. Fegal, O. Guard; W.J. Buchanan. Sar. 31.; Dr. Charles, Post Secy. These were duly installed with a due amount of signs, grips and pass words. Then the rank and file left the spacious hour e of tho adjutant, to make room for the incomplete ranks of the Ladies, Relief Corps, assisted by the wifes and daughters ot the soldiers, and many true friends of the boys in blue, who showed full well that the days of foraging parties were over. Surely any quartermaster of 'C3 or 'CI could realize that all he had to do was to send an orderly to each kitchen and his requisi tion work would be done. If any old boy in bloe went away hungry it was bis fault, but even an old Eoldier can't eat all the time, and so one another were slipping out to Comrade Warner's fence for a rail or to his wood pile for a chip to throw on the camp fire, which soon blazed up filling the hall with light and laughter, which continued till all were assured that Yoncalla post had come to stay. Many thanks are due from the Post to all parties concerned, especially the ladies. Comrades, everywhere, re member a cordial invitation is extended to you to meet with us the second and fourth f-aturdays of each month at 2 o'clock eharp. Chaplain. BRIEF MENTION. A.

Tho Pacific Insur ance Union has gono out of existence This has bion succeeded by tho Board of Firo Underwriters of San Francisco, which Las mado some changes, doing away with the system of dividing com mission to secure business. Tho board instead of paying local agents 20 per cent commibsion, as heretofore, proposes to pay office rent and 15 per cent com mis sion. It is thought this will have a ten dency to prevent agents from dividing their commission with patrons, but as further safeguard azainst this, the hoard provides that any agent found di vidiug his commission shall not bo ul lowed to write any more ineurance for year, and tho property-owner who takes a uivv" on commisBion win uavu u rato rai?cd 15 per cent ab a punishment Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Award. 1-'- I I 1 II II I A Hi.
