A drop or two of rain would be very acceptable to Douglas county just now. There is such a thing as too much fine weather.

An extract from au article iu tho Gold Beach Gazette concerning a party of hunters at the head of Pistol river, in Conntycoarjty, says: "It is kLown that over TOO deer Uave been killed in that section this summer solely for their hides." Rev. G. II. Worthen, the evangelist, "will begin a series of union gospel tem perance meetings at the Baptist church on Sunday evening, and continue until . Thursday. The Eastern and Southern press speak in very flattering terms of bis work. Admission fiec, and all are cordially invited to attend. County Commissioner "V. L. Wilson and son were in town oa business last Thursday. Mr. Wilson crossed tho plains to Oregon in 1S15, was with the company that took the Steve Meek'a cut-ofi", and with them suffered the most indescribable hardships. At one time while in the desert bad Meek been pres ent his life might have been sacrificed to appease their anger at his desertion of them. Mr. Wilson can contemplate on those past sufferings whilst snugly en sconced in bis Oregon home surrounded by all tho comforts and conveniences of life. School Statistics. The school statistics of this country are decidedly imposing. According to the report of the United States School Commissioner for 1S92-3 the number of school houses was 23G,-i26, valued at 380,435,039, and conducted at an an nual cost of $105,000,000. The male teachers numbered 122,050 and the fe male teachers 200,951. The public ecJiools alone were attended by 13,510, 718 pupils. The whole number of pu pils enrolled in schools and colleges was 15,083,630, or 22.5 per cent of the total population. Our Congressman. Hon. Dinger Hermann was in Dallas last Friday on his way to Yamhill county. Congressman Hermann is an earnest and enthusiastic worker at tho U. S. capitol for the people of Oregon ; and, fortunately, ho is line to be chair man of the committee on rivers and harbors. If he succeeds in securing this ..place ho will then bo in a position where hho 'an dictate instead of appealing to -tho generosity of tho committee on ap propriations. Mr. Hermann will soon 'leave &r Washington. Polk County Ob- A CO-OPERATIVE IDEA If thu Monroe doctriuo is good for the Unitod States it is better for tho other American republics in which its opera tiou is intended to bo effective From tho point of view ot thoso ro publics our support of that doctrlno must have a sec ondary interest. In view of that inferior resisting power as compared with that of the United States tho doctrine- should bo a more important consideration with thorn than with us. It cannot bo very agreeable to Brazil , for instance, to boo Euglnud inarching her troops across Brazilian torritory for thu purpose of harrying and lullvim; tho weak sister republic of Venezuela. Not for n moment would England think tf using the territory of the United States for such n purpose. Nor would England think of doing such a thine in Brazil or auy other South American or Central American repnblic if all tho republics of the Western Hemisphere were united to enforce the Monroe doctrine. Nor, for that matter, would there be auy such thing as a dispute between England and Venezuela over tho Venezuelan boundary if the republics ot this hemisphere were unite;! in a compact to smtain tho doc trine. As it stands we aro confronted with the curious anomaly of thu United States Government, for its own safety and in t crests, standing iuard over the weaker repnblict) of tho south and preserving them from European invasion and dis memberment, without so much as a rec ognition of the service from the south ern republics or an effort on their pait to make an enforcement of the doctriuo more thoroughly effecticc. A proper realization of this peculiar condition of things ought to be sufficient to movo them toward a performance of their manifest duty in the premises. By the way, is our government really insisting on the enforcement of the Mon roe doctrine? If so why is England per mitted to march her troops through Brazil and harry and bully the defense less republic oi Venezuela, with the ap parent purpose of appropriating some of its territory? is. F. Call. After the Vrcka Lynchers. Governor Budd is not so popular in Siskiyou county as ho used to be. Fol lowing up his proclamation and $500 re ward for evidence that will convict any and all parties dcinc or abetting in the lynching, he has two detectives in the county working rtp the case for the grand jury which convenes at Yreka Monday. Besides that Attorney-General Fitzgerald was at Etna last week incog, sticking his noso in the case and he will be on hand again when the grand jury con venes next week to brace up the back bone of the local prosecution. The people of the county ore very much dis turbed at this action, which is being aided by 11. B. Gillis, a prominent citi zen and lawyer of Yreka and a few- others. The lynching was very 5pular throughout Siskiyou county and the men engaged in tho affair were some of its most influential citizens and taxpayers, men of resolution and force of character. Their names are well known and if pros ecution gets any one to 'squeal" and turn states evidence there will bo an other lynching before any one is ever conictcd. Valley Record. A Stone Industry. Few people have a full concept iou oi the extent of the building stone industry in the United States. A report just is sued by the geological survey shows that the quarry value cf the stone pro duced in 1694 was $37,377,S1G, of which $33,000,0(10 was need for the construction of buildings. Pennsylvania leads all of the other states in this product, Ohio coming next, and Vermont third. Over three-fourths of the total product is in a small portion of the area of the country, from Maine to Illinois ; und the vast de posits of all kinds of stone in the south and far west have as yet been only superficially worked. A Hungry Tramp. Tramps are becoming pretty lwld now adays and parties to fortunate as to have any thing left over from th e eve ning meal should eco that their doors ond windows are made fast before retiring or they may And themselves Bhort at breakfast. Last night a tramp entered Cbas. Minkler's residence on Mill street by the window route, sealed himself at the table and began helping himself to the edibles left thereon. The noiso he made while eating aroused the girl who screamed out that there was "a man in the tiouse," and the "burglar" hurriedly mado his escapo through tho window and disappeared iu tho darkness. The Jnry Hung. At Looking Glass Thursday the ca.o of Hoover e. Brock attracted consider able local attention and called forth tho servhes of a quarter dozen of Roscburg's legal luminaries. Caldwell and Hamil ton for the plaintiff and C. A. Sehlbrede for the defendant, either so badgered, bullyragged and browbeat the witnesses that they wcro unablo to givo convincing evidence to tho jury, or by their oloquent and brilliant burets of oratory so bewil dered and befogged thoso "good men and true" that they could not find the ver dict.

Trinity, St. Paul's nod Grace Church Defy tlio Adranco or Ilnalneu lotereiU. Three landmarks ou Broadway occu py sites so valuablo that tlioir retention confounds every calculation of real cs tato speculators. They aro tho only thrco churches on Broadway below Forty-second street, and each has como to bo part of tho popular distinction of that thor oughfare. They nro Trinity, St. Paul's and Grace. All thrco havo high claims to architectural eminence, and all thrco nro of oiy denomination tho Protestant Episcopal. Tho sito of Trinity church, on Broad way at tho head of Wall street, is ap proved olllcially at $4,000,000; that of St. Paul's church, at Broadway and Fulton street, at $1,750,000, and that of Grace church, Broadway opposito Elev enth street, at $350,000. Tho frontago of Trinity church, including tho church yard, is 400 feet, of St. Paul's church 107 feet and of Graco church 1C0 feet. Tho gross valuation of theso tlirco churches is $0,100,000, and as tho usual rate of assessment on real citato is about CO per cent tho actual market valuo of theso tlirco Broadway plots is in excess of $10,000,000. In European cities it is no strango thing for public thorough fares to bo dotted with venerable edi fices erected for ecclesiastical, military or governmental purposes, but in Now York, where there is no material partner ship between church and state, and where, perhaps, moro utilitarian views prevail than abroad, tho steady enhance ment of real cstato values has been such that few religious corporations havo been strong enough or felt them selves strong enough to withstand tho temptation to solL On tho present sito of Tiffany's, for instance, Broadway and Fifteenth street, formerly a church stood. Thcro was a chapel opposito tho sito of tho old New York hotcL But with tho advance of business interests tho congregations reluctantly moved away. Theso thrco landmarks named havo stood their ground, and it seems probable that they will continuo to do MX St. Paul's church is tho oldest reli gious edifice iu this city. It was built in 1704, aud it was tho church which George Washington and his associates attended immediately following tho in auguration ceremonies in 17S9. Trinity church is tho third of that namo on tho present site, and was erected in 1840. Graco church was erected in 1845, one year beforo Trinity, and tho sito, at tho head of Broadway whero it turns an anglo at Tenth street, was carefully cho tcu. All three buildings enjoy tho ad vantage of being kept in excellent re pair, and aro improved from time to timo by tho liberal contributions of bene factors. Thus is especially truo of Trin ity and Graco church, which may al most be said to improve year by year. It is a peculiarity of theso thrco land marks of Now York that thoso who at tend them come, in nearly every case, from sections of the city far np town, so that they are, if such on expression may bo used, tho thrco churches to be reached by carriage. Very few persons who attend cither Trinity or St. Paul's reside in their vicinity, and tho number of such parishioners decreases each year. Graco church retains it3 high rank ar chitecturally, notwithstanding tho num ber of now church buildings in New York, and it has tho additional distinc tion of being popular for fashionablo weddings.

Thcro Wert) duo Roo at that timb, however, dividends amounting to $i0Q.6i, which had not been entered in his passbook, and tho bank really owed him a balance of $90.01. Tho balance went on accumulating dividends until 1873, when it became a dormant account and ceased to draw in terest. Tho amount then duo Roo was $343.25. Efforts wcro mado without success to find him. Ho had becomo very poor, was too old and f ecblo to go to work again, and was given a homo by his sons at Rutherford, N. J. Roo always intended to repay tho $1 ho thought ho owed, but never dffl so. President Townscnd of tho Bowery Sav ings bank, in looking over tho books tho other day, camo across Roe's account, A now search was Instituted, and Roo was found at Rutherford. Ho was told to call at tho bank with his old account books. Shortly afterward ho did so, ac companied by his granddaughter, 17 years old. "I supposo it's about tho dollar I owo your bank that you want to eco mo," said tho old man, addressing Mr. Town send. Ho was astonished when told tho facts. "Guess theso bank pooplo know what's right," ho said to his grand daughter. "1 never was much on 'rith mctic." Ho pocketed tho $343. 25, shook hands with tho bank officials and returned home, New York World. Cutting- Itcm&rV.
