P. Bu.n.nel FARMERS AND HARD TIMES. What Can be Done to Remedy the Evil. 1 Tho farmer should bo the most inde pendent, and contented of men of all classes and pursuits iu life. By iiidiurty and economy ho can, from tho products of the soil secure to himself and those depecdetit upon him, nil of tho actual noce33arios for tho coinfoi Is of man. But it requires toil, persuyeronco and an in telligent conception of farmingoierations to bring about that success that will re- liovo him from tho depression consequent upon "hard times" that inny bo looked for at least once in every decade of yoara. Tho cditior may sit in his sanctum and with pon and poncil portray tho beauties of tho farm and the farmer's life. He can picturo tho waving grain, the lowing herds, tho bleating of tho flocks with out oven having had tho least personal oxporienco pertaining lo tho labors of agricultural life. But let him by por soual knowledge and actual labor test the beauties of farm life, and ho will realize that it is not all of pleasure and profit to follow such pursuits. Aud yet tho farmer that loves to follow, as a moans of subsistancc, tho cultivation of tho soil, and tho attendant InborB consequent up on such cultivation, will surely reap a harvest of contoutmont and joy, such as is denied to man in many of the other pursuits and professions In which ho must bo necessarily bo engaged, to gain a standing as a man among men in tho turbulont sea of life. Lot ono conversant with things per taining to farm lifo as existed for years in the past, let him cast his oyo altout him and scan for a moment those who havo been successful farmers and those who today, stand almost defiant of hard limes, and you will find they are those who have studied thu raarkots, have been diligent in work, have looked ahead for a time when depressions might como; have been observant of the rules of econ omy, and have mado their homes such in reality. Such a farmer might well be envied as one of creation's highest pat ems of manhood. Now, while directing ilio attention of farmers to their condition in life, let me ask the farmers of Douglas, have you ever for one moment cast about in your mind the amount of money that is sent out of the county for various commodi ties that can easily bo produced at home? No country under tho sun is better adapted to tho raising of vegetables of all kinds, no country whero dairying can be carried on more successfully, and yet thousands upon thousands of dollars are sent to California for vegetables, butter, checso and canned fruits, when that same money retained at home and kept here in circulation would dispel in somo degreo the bitter cry of hard times. Let farmers reflect upon this condition of affairs, let them resolve that henceforth and forever they will supply their homo market with those things that contribute to tho sustenance of man, aud by so do ing they will find that raonoy will flow into their purses, the monoy that goej to flit tho coffers of tho30 living within other territorial limits. 1 should like lo hayo an estimate from the merchants of Roseburg, giving the amount of their payments yearly for California products that is agricultural that can be pro duced here at home, as cheaply, and in a? much profusion and perfection as they can anywhero on the Pacific coast, lis not the amount of money alono sent out that is to ba considered, but the thought that farmers living in a country with the most fertile soil and salubrious climate, are so negligent of their own interests in failing to supply their own market, is a thunght worthy of reflection. Oregon hereafter must supply her own markets with the productions of her own soil, or tbe cry of hard times will keep : tueir own interests win not tail to 11 re warded with success. Farmer.

Two of the Directors Pay It An Offical Visit. Friday afternoon Directors S. C. Flint and W. F. Benjamin made an official visit to the school in this district. Their visit was confined to the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades, on account of want of more timo at their command. They will visit the other grades in the near future. In fifth grade, taught by Mies Kidder, there are seventy-four pupils on the roll, with an average of about sixty. A class in mental arith metic was at tho black-boaad. Most of them seemed to be quite proficient in the line of work before them. A large num ber of specimens of drawings by the pupils were shown which indicated con siderable skill in that line of work. In the sixth grade, taught by Miss Limbocker, there are forty pupils on the roll, with an average of about thirty. The teacher, from the short time al lowed for observation, seemed to be do ing good work. The black board is in a bad condition and greatly needs repairs. In the seventh grade, taught by Miss Bradly, there are forty-three pupils on the roll. A grammar class was reciting correcting false syntax. This class showed a good state of advancement, and recited promptly the sentences given out with reasons therefore. The eight grade taught by the principal, Mr. Hamlin, had fifteen punils on the roll. This fact shows a small percentage of advanced pupils, and that the school needs reor ganization by the directors if possible, The fifth grade with eeventy-four pupils. about five times that of tbe eighth, is a disparity of numbers that does not tally with the labor and the rennmeration of each. The directors are of. the opinion that this needs to be investigated and that if practicable, the labor should be more equally apportioned. The U. S.

Certain passages in the Illiadof Homer lead to the inference that coins of brass were struck as early as 1,151 years be fore Christ. Tradition affirms that the Chinese had bronze coins as early as 1120 B. C, but Herodotus, the "Father of History," ascribes th9 "invention" of coins to the Lydians, about nine cen turies be I ore Christ, and there is no sat isfactory evidence that coins were well known prior to that date. Tbe original process of coining was very simple. A globular piece ot metal, having a defined weight was placed on a die engraved with some national or religious symbol, and struck with a hammer until it had received the impression. One of tbe most ancient Asiatic coins was the Per sian Daric, a gold coin struck during the reign of Darius nearly five centuries B. C. The first coinage in Rome was about the year 600 B. C. The metal used was bronze, and the unit of value was one pound in weight. The coin was called an "as," was brick-shaped and stamped with the figure of a sheep or an ox. Sil yer was first coined at Romo in the year 275 B. C. The first Roman gold coin was issued only about 74 years B. C. The Saxons coined the first British pieces about the year 279 A. D. The first colo nial coins issued in this country were struck in Massachusetts ia 1652. They wero 3, 6, and 12 cent pieces.

Sheriff Bogard and One of the Rob bers Were Killed. Maeysville. Cal., March 30. The noitb-bound Oregon express train was held up near this city at about 1 :45 this morning. The result of the hold up was tbe death of James J. Bogard, sheriff of Tehama county, who was a passenger on the train bound for home, and occupying a berth in tho tourist sleeping car, and a robber, six . feet in height, weighing about 200 pounds, attired in a full and complete bicycle suit, over which he had a pair of slip overalls and in which there weie two improvised pockets made of fowling to hold pistols, two of which were found on him. Fireman A. Nethercott was seriously injured, and probably fatally wounded, having received two wounds in different parts of the body. The first intimation that the engineer and the fireman had of the presence of robbers was when, at the place men tioned, one climbed over from the blind baggage and commanded, at the point of a pistol, that the train be stopped. This demand was eo earnest that brakes weie applied. The robbers could find nothing of value in the express car safe, as the combination was not in tbe hands of the messenger. Tbe two railroad men were then commanued to go into the cars. The robbers bad a leg of an old pair of overalls tied at one end, as they went through the first car, tbe smoker, and made the passengers, who were few in number, put their coin and valuables in it, tbe fireman being custodian, the guard standing behind them. The colored porter in the sleeper just beyond the day coach became aware that a robbery was in progress, and, Knowing that Sheriff Bogard was in a berth, called him. That heroic man was in his shoes aud trousers, in a minnte and, armed with his heayy revolver, started for the door to the north. He crossed the plat form between the sleeper and the day coach, and, a.4 he entered the latter at the south door, the robbers came in at the north. The sheriff stepped to one side, aimed and fired. His bullet dropped the man nearest him, but the second failed to reach its target. One of tho" robbers must have seeu Regard enter, and cn doing so jumped down, and, running alongside of the car, entered and shot him from the rear. This deduction is made from tbe location of the fatal wound, which was in the main right artery in the back just below the kidneys. When the robber was shot he exclaim ed: "lam done fori" Another asked: "Are you killed, Aill?" and thereupon they hastily left the car. Ashland, March 30. When tho train reached Ashland this afternoon it was boarded by a reporter, who first met C;' W. King, a butcher, who was a passen ger from Sacramento to Butte City, and was iu the forward end of the moker and had his face powder-marked by a fusilade from the robbers standing over him. He said: "The robber? came in the coach behind the engineer, express messenger and fireman. The big robber said, "Dig up jour htuff," to the man in front of me. The passenger complied, and emptied his money in the fireman's sack; I threw up my hands and came next, and as the big robber reached over to hurry me in delivering my purse, the short robber said, "Look out, Bill!" "Sheriff Bogard just eutered tha rear end of the car aud fired, the first robber staggered and sank to his knees. The short robber promptly shot the sheriff over the shoulder of the sinking robber as he was going down on his knees. The crippled robber discharging both revol vers toward tlie back or end of tbe car. I think one went wild and ih- fireman caught the other. The sheriff repeated his first shot immediately and lhat ended the shooting from the rear end ot the car. The "short" robber then thot twice to ward the rear of the car, I think from a revolyer in each hand. One struck the fireman in the neck. Tno "short" rob ber asked, "Are you hit Bill?" and lis tened attentively for a reply. The rol - ber was on hi- knees and could not talk, but groaned twice. "Tho lonely brigand f coined lo realize his situation. Everything was silenced. The robber coolly surveyed tlw situation and backed out of the car with guns erect. "There weio 10 shots fired. The fire man came to my car moaning, utul re peatedly sail. 'Oh. I'm fhot to pieces.' Nobody could have shot the sheriff troin behind. The reason tho rubber's b-tllet. entered his back ws the peculiar twift and turn made in the i-herifFn body in aiming at the shoit robber." A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N.
