Lands and Mining Properties, S- IC BUICK, ADDITIOM ffl 3?y FIRING FRQM AMBUSH. Ono, Gill Bhta, an Oakland scribbler for the Rosoburg lleviow, triea to bo witty in hia icr8onalitte8 to that back biting sheet. That sneaking coward has not the manhood to mako such un- frendly attacks upon inc over his true namo; but proverbial with Buch a cyn ical churl, points out two or three un- aecuracics in my report of that town, run by a democratic boss who ia deter mined that a republican paper shall have no patronage there. "When a rep resentative of the Plaindealeix visits that village ho is shown no courtesies by that class of men. Whatever good things ho may say, not one word of commendation- ia over uttered; but every inaccuracy ia magnified and criticised by Uiia-Gil Bios, who dips his pen in galrand with ghoulish glee hastens to blaze it abroad, with the view of injur ing the Plain-dealer's circulation. The editor of thia paper was in tho village of Oakland a few days ago for tho purpose of giving it a fovorable notice, and to do a little business in the way of extending his paper's circulation, it is true, but wherever and whenever business of that character was mentioned to a democrat he was given a cold shoulder. No courtesies were shown him except in a lew instances. It would not do to aid a republican paper in Oakland. "That black republican sheet" must not bo al lowed to get a foothold on tho sacred soil if democrats can prevent it. No, the Plaisdhalek must bo squelched if possible. Now, since Gil Bias has done up so logicallv, aa ho thinks, "tho old gentle men, a dose of his own medicine, will perhaps cure that stomach ache of his. In hia items which he dubs "News from Oakland." Ho saya: "Still, as Mr. Benjamin and hia paper are almost en tire strangers here, it ia little wonder that ho mixed up names as he did. Mark you, he says "Benjamin and hia paper are almost entire strangers here." How ia it then Uiat the "citizens of Oak land waked up Tuesday morning aa usual, but after reading tho Plain ijkaleu they thought they must have been a sleep." Here we have it from Gil Bias himself that "tho citizens of Oakland read tlie Plaixdealeb." Who tells the truth, Gil Blaa sober, or Gil Bias drunk? A man ia supposed to be sober when he wakea up in the morn ing. (We suppose Gil Bias was sober in the morning.) And also when he wakea up he ia apt to think he had been asleep. The truth is, Gil Bias delights in show ing how bad other people are who do not agree with htm. If Gil were a fair minded man; and not a churl, ho would commendation for the excellent notice of 3Icssrs, Stearns hop drier and of Mr. bmory'a flour mill. They were the best notices in connection with Oakland that you have had from any local paperfor years. And yet, Gil Bias, gangrened with jealousy, and fearful of the com mendation "the old gentlemen" might receive, must empty the viaja of hia pent up ridicule upon him magnify hia faulta and withhold any and all that was commendable. Does Gil Blaa consider Uiat courteous treatment of an "almost entire stranger" tliat visits you? We doubt there being any magnanimity in his soul. On the occasion of our late visit there we were shown no courtesies whatever in business matters relating to the Pl.uxdealek. They were very ready, however, to take money for wares on sale. A few seemed to be friendly. They took us to see their business-opera tions and explained to us the mode of conducting hop picking rfhd dring, etc., and Mr. Hunt took us through his mill and explained the manner of making flour by the roller process in such a hearty, friendly way he won our esteem. So of a few others, they were realy friendly. They did not take out their watches and remind us by that act that they had "other engagements." Such actfons say plainer than words, "I hope you will now take your leave, seeing you are not on the buv." From the few gentlemen named alwve we got correct data for a write up, amHhey got a fair one. It mieht have been better in abler hands, wo admit, but was too good for Gil Bias. It aroused hia envv. The old gentleman" must bo put down some way. Tho animus in Gil Bias' strictures crops out near its close in a parenthesis. He saya: "I do not be lieve (although thia precinct goes repub lican in the elections) one (what one, Gil Blaa?) could find many (many dem ocrats) that would swear to its truth fulness." No, Eir; no democrat would swear to tho truthfulness of any repub lican. Democrats are not made that way. We do not expect any such thing, especially from Gil Bias, a copperhead during tho war for tho Union, and would have been a Moseby guerrilla had ho been old enough. I doubt whether the citizens who read tho Plainijealer (and you say they do read it) will feel proud of your strictures on "the old gentleman." During tho first half of the present year English imports from this country decreased by nearly $6,000,000 as com pared wiih the corresponding period of last year, while their exiwrta to this couulry iucroased by about 41,000,000; and, of course, if Mr. Wilson returns to England they will give him a bigger banqet thau (hey gave him the first time. If it bo truo as reported, that the Priuco of Wales said Dunruven had made au ass of liiuieolf, there will bo geueral agieetncnt that Wales missed hia voca tion when he did not set up as an urn pi re. If Cleveland does not get out of office yory soon, paying off tho public debt will become a lost art in this country. Cloveland will hold tho nextloau down until alter tho fall elections, it ho linn to mako Garlislo Bit on tho snfoty valve. PROSPERITY, ITS RETURN. Democrats aro seizing with feverish grasp every bit of news that scorns to in dicate that prospority is returning. When ever a mill, long closed, is reopened, praise of tho Wilson bill is heard. If a concern raises wages that wero formerly reduced, the glories of tbe Wilson bill are resung. Democratic papers are to day on a steady hunt for prosperity and it must bo admitted that they aie find ing a small modicum of it. Business is slowly awakenintr. But for prosperity to return it first had to depart. When did it depart? That is the question that is tho question that should most inter est tho voter of today. The people know that when Benjamin Harrison left office there was no fear of the Me col lapse of industry. Mills were running on full or over time. No one spoke of reducing wages. No industries feared for their.lives. When Orover Cleveland entered upon his second term he found a full treasury and a prosperous country. He found himself reinforced with a dem ocratic congresB that promised the people untold wealth. The work was undertaken. The pall of free-trade fell upon tho land. Mills began to close and employers to cut down wages. All industries were injured by the Wilson tariff. By tbe McKinley larifl not a chimney ceased to smoke, not a firo was banked. No plants were transfered to toreign shores in search of cheaper labor when the McKinley bill was passed. Yes, prosperity is returning with the bright hope of republican ascendancy in 1S00, and without that hope, yes, the Icrfect assnranco of the downfall of democracy, tbe dark clouds of fear and depression would continue to hover all of our business industries, and bring continued lamentation and woe upon tbe wage earner. All will bail tbe bright day in 1S06, when a republican president shall have been elected, and the British inclined Grover shall seeV the shade of oblivion. They Drank Poisoned Wine. Chicago, Sept. 23. The bod of A. J Thompson is now at rest .in Oakwood cemetery. For a year Thompson had been a resident of Los Angeles, Cal., but before that be was a citizen of Pullman, a stock farmer, and, in earlier days, a prominent Hyde Park politican. At one time be was president of the village boaid of trustees in Hyde Park. The manner of Thompson's death was most unusual. He was the agent of tbo Santa Fo railroad at its Los Angeles station, and be died September 11 from drinking poisoned wine. A California friend of hia died from the same.-cause.-. Their 'driaiiiBg It Jwas'inlenSed tofee: 'SVjoke? It was in this way: A Pullman porter named George Johnston, was angiy at another porter and, it is said, dectored a bottle of wine with strychnine and sent it to him. Thompson, the agent, re ceived the package meant for the porter, and to play a joke concluded to drink it and deliver the empty bottle to the in tended victim. Tboinon passed the bottle to a friend who happened to ho in tho depot. The friend took a deep drink and passed it back. Thompson then drank some it, but before he had fairly swallowed the liquid .he saw his friend grow pale, topple over and die. Thomp son started to run for a doctor, but before he had taken 10 steps he, too, fell to the floor. In a moment more he was dead. American Preferred. Sax Jose, Cal., Sept. 23. Hip Sing Lee, a wealthy Chinese merchant of this city, offers a half interest in hia exten sive merchandise business and 5000 in caili to auy reputable young American who will marry his daughter, Moi Loi. Hip Sing Lee is the wealthiest Chinese in this valley, and his fortune is esti mated from foO.OOO to f 100,000. He Jon ducts a general merchandise store, with a lottery game on the eide, and has branch stores in Watsonvillo, Santa Cruz and Salinas. Leo has become thoroughly Americanized, and ho is getting old, and wishes his daughter married to a good Americau who will look after and care for his business and wealth. Lee's wife died a year ago, and, as several attempts have been made to kidnap Moi, he is atraid if Moi does not marry eoou, the highbiuders may succeed in abducting her. Big Guns in Position. Sax Fiuxcisco, Sept. 23. The United States government is now able to blow out of tho water, at a day's notice, a whole hostile fleet that might attempt to enter the Golden Gate. Tho battery of big pneumatic dynamite gun ordered for the defense of this port a year or mora ago has been advanced bo iar toward completion that two of the euns could bo effectively fired with only 24 hours pre paration. Tho two guns now set up will be actually fired during the contractors' preliminary tests within 10 days, and it is expected that within six weeks some old hulks will have been blown to splinter in official tests and the battery will havo beou turned over to tho gov ernment. English Comment. London, Sept. 23. Tho Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon comments au follows upon the.resull of the international ath letic cotiteBts nt New York Saturday: "There is little doubt that America would have won had all our best men been available. Under no circumstauceB could we have beaten tho New Yorkers. Every Englishmen possessed of any sporting feeling will be glad to expresB his admiration of the excellence of Amer ican athletes." All other afternoon papers comment in a Bimilar spirit. Populist County Committee Meeting.

A Plaindealer reporter having heard considerable comment upon Mr. God frey's' orchard, made that orchard a visit to see thia almost Aladdin wonder on the banks of the South Umpqua river a mile west of town. Mr. Godfrey and his hired help were engaged at tbe time in dipping in lye, rinsing in water and spreading prunes on trays for tbe. dryer. After witnessing that part of operation till the dryer was filled with its trays of fruit, Mr. Godfrey invited bim to see his store room where the fruit after being dried, is stored away to await the boxing process later on. Here wero piled upon tbe floor large heaps of dried prunes g& ing through what is termed the sweating process before being packed. There we're several thousand pounds then dry, with the drier in full blast. It will -be run night and day for several .weeks yet. Mr. Godfrey is also drying prunes for several neighbors on shares. Next we were taken to the orchard to see tbe raw material. We had heard the praieea of this orchard sung by sev eral who bad visited it. but like the queen of Sheua who visited King Sol omon, we could say, "The half was not told." This is, without question, one of the finest orchards in Douglas county. Hie trees are magnificent. They fairly stand with outstretched arms to greet their owner with gladness. They are large, thrifty and healthy trees, no pests yet of much extent are Greying upon them. Tbe fruit is fine. Tfto apples and prunes are large and tho trees heavily loaded except where they liave been gathered. This orchard contains only ten acres, but wr venture to say it has produced thiB year a greater amount of frnit than any other ten acres in the county. This ereat yield is tbe result of care of the trees and tbe tilth of the land. Oth ers who will devote the same attention and care to their urchards might do equally as well. Orchards, as well as corn, potatoes, onions or other plants, require attention ana the best of care if the owner expects a big yield. A Pleasant Affair. For the want of sufficient time after the cloee of the exercises at the Soldiers' Home today before the hour of going to press, we are unable to give as ex tended a notice as desirable. At 11 o'clock in company with Hon. B. Hermann we alighted at the Home and were greeted in a hearty manner by the commandant and about 60 of the ''boys ia bla,"" with-foar -pieces, of ,fcaanoa brightly burnished, two on each side of the front entrance of the Horns, symbols ot the times when the soldiers were "camping on tlie cold, cold ground," Now, "beneath the starry flag" those soldiers who have survived those times are enjoying, as best they can; with shat tered i-onstitutians, a peaceful home. Commandant Byars and Mrs. Byars, matron, are doing all within their power to make the Home what its name im plies. After an exchange of the usual courte sies by those present including tho boarS of trustees, vis: Mesrs. Alley, Onnsby, Rust and Robertson and Secretary Gra ham, Mr. Hermann was invited to ad dress the little assemblage. Mr. Her mann made a brief address in his usual interesting and eloquent manner. The Plaixdealer reporter was called on for a speech that was evidently the joke o the occasion but be in a few words ex cused himself, amidst thundering ap plause. Col. J. P. Hoberteon was then introduced and made a very vigorous and eloquent address. He referred to the fact that many young men left home and moral surroundings and went forth to be tempted in divert) ways where moral restrain was wanting; that under such circumstances bud habits were formed; but notwithstanding that, upon retiringto peaceful avocations, as a rule the soldiers had shown their readiness to obey tbe laws of good society as they did those of war. He concluded with the advice to his comrades now in tho home, to aid as far as within their power those in charge of the home. During Mr. Robertson's speech the cannons were fired ten rounds by old and experienced soldiers. This episode illus trated in a small way the mode of war fare. The speech making and cannon tiring being concluded, the dinner bell was rung and the soldiers again fell into line and marched to the dining hall where plates wore laid for GO veterans. At tbe table of tbe commandant there were seated twelve persons including the officers, viz: Hon. B. Hermann, Mr. and Mrs. Alley, Mr. aud Mrs. Rust, Mr. Ormeby, Mr. Robertson, Major Flynn, Major C. Graham, W. F. Benjamin, Commandant Byars and Mrs. Byars, matjon. The whole affair was a very pleasant one and will long be remembered as the first occasion when those four "peace makers" spoke at tho Holdiers' Home, Sept. 24, 1S'J3. Why Not ? En, Plaindealer : The citizens of Springfield, 111., have gone into the elec trie lighting business under interesting circimif tauces. It seems that a private monopoly was charging the city $133 a year for each electriu lamp, which was more thau double tho actual cost. As the city dobt was up to the lawful limit, sixty private citizens lent their credit to the citv for the cuuBtiuction of a tuunici pal plaut. Thia has been leased to two electricians for 5 yearB on a contract for supplying the city with light for $G0 a lamp. The city will mako appropria tions for lighliug at the rate of $113 a lamp, and the difference will be turned iuto n6inking fuml, which will extin guiah the debt in live jeare, bo I hat be sides saving $25 a year on each lamp, at the end of 5 years it will bo complete owner of its own plant.
