HOMES FOR ALL
The old custom of land owners of
Doajlas county, to covet all the land ad-
joining them, mast give away to a
more modern and practical system. To
hold for speculation more land than can
be utilized br the owner and made to
yield a revenue, or what is practically
the same thing, be made to furnish t
living for the owner, is last becoming ob
solete. Many land owners are paying
Uses on lands which do not yield their
owners ose cent of profit. It these lands
were divided into small holdincs and im
Droved by erecting comfortable hornet
for the occupants, together with the
necessity out houses aad fences and the
tillable lands cultivated, thousands of
acres now lyinc idle would be made to
furnish good livings for quadruple the
number of inhabitants ther now do.
The time has passed for a further rise
in lands unless they are belter improved
and made more productive.
The old Orezonian is too slow and
lacking in enterprise .to make any ma
terul advances in tLc development of
the country. We wart an infusion of
new blooJ into tne body politic men
who have energy, vim, push and enter
prise. The old Oregonlan has lost his
grip and is fast parsing into a state of
desuetude. His pioneer push and go-a
headativeness is becoming like himself,
decrepit. He must give way to a more
azzressive class of iwople to tbosa who
are imbued with the spirit of this pro
gressive age. This idea ia beginning to
assume shape and its importance is tak
ing bold of some big land owners.
Mr. M. Tipton, one of the big land
owners on the North Umpqua a few
years ago, disposed of several thousand
acres of land to Sheridan Bros., who
have recently resold 220) acres to a col
ony from Columbus, Ohio.
This colony of fifty families of thrifty
industrious and enterprising people will
soon enter upon and make permanent
improvements upon these hitherto com
paratively useless lands, and soon we
may anticipate a fine community of pros
peroas and happy people, enjoying life
under their own vine and Irnit trees
in
the valley of the Umpqua, where a!
most perpetual spring and summer eno
ceed each other, so equable is our un
equaled climate.
This dividing np of big farms in Doug
las county most become general before
Douglas county will assume the proud
position in the stale ehe is capable of
holding. Let the good work go on.
May this cutting np of big ranches be
continued indefinitely. Then onr
county will witness the erection of thous
ands of new home3, cchool bouees and
churches will multiply, and a grand era
for Douglas will dawn upon us.
THE "ROSEBURG RING.
The old threadbare charge that the
"Roseburg ring" controls the county con
ventions, can bo silenced if the people
will tnrn out at the primaries and do
their dnty 3end np representative men,
men of firmness, men who will stand for
the right, and with backbone enough to
stand erect and say to this bypotbical
ring, "Rosaburgers, we propose to have
our say and if yon don't like it, you can
do the other thing."
This we say upon the suppoiition that
there is a "Roseburg ring." If such ex
ists it is in the power of the outside pre
cincts to burst it. There are 99 dele
gates to the convention. If each pre
cinct sends up its fnll quota this ring, if
such there be, can be bursted. There
arc. four precincts which comiote what
may be supposed to constituto this mys
tic "Roseburg t'wh," viz: Roseburg,
Deer Creek, West Roseburg and Ump
qua, making only 21 delegates, leaving
78 delegates from tho other precincts.
Here then is 78 delegates against 21,
nearly four to one against Roseburg.
As a Roseburger we adjure you, one and
all, to send np full delegations from the
urban precinct and not send a proxy to
any Roseburg delegate.
co, we say to the country precincts,
tnrn out to the primary meetings, Satur
day, the 25th of March, at 1 p. m., and
choose goo J representative men who will
truly represent you at lUs county con-
entioti, April S, tiroxitno, and you will
do good patriotic duty. Remember, Sat
urday, March 23, at 1 p. in., ia the timo
eot by the chairman of the republican
central committee
Wo k'ivo place today to Mr. A. W.
Hart's card announcing himself as a
candidate for tho oQico of commissioner
at tho cuuiinj; republican convention,
April 3rd. Mr. Halt is au old soldier
who lost a leg in tho service of his coun
try and deserves recognition at tho
hands of his party. All elso being equal,
Mr. Uart, ou account of this I033 of a
limb in his country's service, ought to to

THE EFFORT TO DOWN HERMANN
Voters of the First District, are You
on to the Combination?
Tho effort to defeat Congressman Her
mann for renomination has now Ixcotne
so well crystalizcd that one does cot
have to read between the lines to thor
oughly understand the situation.
rnor to tho lasttwo stato elections in
Oregon, spasmodic efforts were mado by
few aspiring politicians to ralco
clamor against Herman, and if possible
defeat his nomination, but the people did
not take kindly to the idea, so nothing
came of it. But in the past few weeks
the disease has broken out afresh and
the woods are full of men who aro will
ing to sacrifice themselves on the con
gressional altar, in the interests of tho
dear people, and "anything to beat Her
mann," is the watchword of these loyal
eons of Oregou as they go prancing np
and down tho district, telling the people
in mellifluous monotone what Hermann
has not done; but you never hear a word
from their modest lips of what Hermann
has done in his long and ardurous strug
gles for the interests of the state ho has
so well and co iaitbfullv represented.
Would it not be the practical thing to do
for these ambitious politicians to imitato
a higher sense ol honor, take in their
congressional signs and house them till
such times as tho people in their sov
ereign capacity should feel the necessity
of calling upon them to no longer blush
unseen and waste their talents ou the
defert air?
The daily Orrgoniaa of March Mtb
under the editorial head of "Tho Real
Objection" stabs every politician under
the fifth rib who has been raising such
clamor agianst Hermann has shattered
their minds for lack of argument, by
telling the truth about our congressman
truly and to the point, read I
"Persons who write letters to the Ore
gonian from the 'Willamette valley and
the west coast, discussing the fitness of
Binger Hermann for re-election to con'
grets rarely touch the real ground of ob
jection lo him. Dissuasion ranges
widely over the field of his power to get
appropriations for Oregon rivers and bar
burs and his ownership of land on Coos
bay. These things bare little real bear
ing upon the question. It may as well
be admitted that Oregon has fared well
in the river and harbor bills, and that
Mr. Hermann can get as much money
for those purposes as anybody."
As the people recognize the Oregonian
as the head, and aspiring politicians as
the tail of the opposition to our congress
man, here we have the ludicrous di
lemma of the head sw'owing tho tail
in its efforts to down s servant of the
people whom it duhkes, a man whom
cannot command, intimidate or bulldoze
into subjection to corporations, bankers
or money Ioaners, a man who does not
bend the suppliant knee, ''that thrift
may follow fawning," but represents the
people of the state and in doing Ibis rep
resents the best interests of the btate.
This admission of tho Oregonian
worth a great deal to Mr. Hermann and
his friends jnst now, 'and will spur the
voters of the first district to turn ont en
masse to the primaries and county con
ventions, in each resiective county, and
see to it, that this wbal-you-call-it-head
swallowing -tail- miscegenationist does
not put nn any jobs to defeat the will of
the people.
If the Oregonian does not want Mr,
Hermann to remain in congress as tbe
people's representative, the voters of the
first district will natn rally want Mr,
Hermann retained, as tho voters of Ore
gon invariably reverce the Oregonian in
the selection of senators and reprcsentn
tires to represent them in the halls
congress.
And, again, tbe action of the Oregon
ian for tbe past few months in its effort
to spread far and wide tho history of the
last legislature, Lidding in its columns
for every slangy andJrip-roaring populis
tic communication, that savored of legis
lative criticism, playing fast and loose
with the fact of whether an extra session
of tbe legislature would be called, and
persisting in this contemptible courso
until Goveinor Lord, through the me
dium of public scntimeut gave out "that
no extra scesion of the legislature would
be called." This courso of tbe Oregon
ian condemns it as venal and disloyal lo
the republican party of the state, and
republicans should read it out of lb
party, if it ever was in, nnd H. W. Scott'
annual pronunciamento as oiten pro
mulgaled, reading this republican am
that republican out 0! the party because
they do not coincide with his oft-times
crazy and idiotic ideas, should bo visited
upon his understanding with republican
leather until he lights where he belong,
in the camp of Grover Cleveland and his
mugwump satalites.

OBITUARY.
Daniel W. Applegato, a widely known
citizen of Douglas county, died from
heart failure near Central Point in
Jackson county, March 13th, in his
fifty-first year.
Ho was engaged in prospecting and
mining for gold about fivo miles west of
Central Point, and had loft tho mine
about 3 o'clock in tho afternoon on his
way on foot to the village where ho was ;
slaying tempororilly with his brother,
Peter Applegato.
About a mile nnd u half fiom town,
while walking along the public road, ho
was spoken by a neighbor, who was
turning into the road through a gate
from an ndjacont farm, driving it team
hitched to a walking plow. After pass
ing through the gate tho neighbor
turned down tho road in tho direction
Mr. Applegate was going, with tho in
tention of overtaking and accompanying
him, but immediately noticed that he
was not in Bight. Passing along tho
lane nbout 40 paces Mr. Applegate was
observed lying tn the ground as if rest
ing or asleep, but 011 close examination
it was found that pulsation had ceased
and he had apparently died instanta
neously.
rhysiiianB were summoned immedi
ately and every effort made to resusci
tate him but without avail.
His remains were brought 16 Drain on
Saturday night's overland express and
were interred Sunday the loth inst., in
tho Applegate cemetery in the Yoncalla
valley.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Taylor from Drain of the M. L.
church, and a host of sorrowing relatives
and friends were present.
Tho floral offerings at the grave were
very elegant and tasteful ; a most touch
inn tribute beinsr a cross composed of
wild jonquills and wood violets which
had been gathered by llie younger
children of Mr. Peter Applegate at Cen
tral Point, who had accompanied their
undo to the mine and returning had
dropped behind him to gather these
flowers by the wayside for the decora
tion of their home, arriving there and
finding their uncle dead they made the
wild flowers, which they had gathered
about his pathway, into a cross for bis
grave.
Daniel W. Applegato was born in Polk
county, Oregon, aov. '1, Ib.o, and was
the sixth sou of Hon. Jesso Applegate,
the ''Sage of Yoncalla" and grand old
pioneer who was intimately connected
with the early history of Oregon, aud es
pecially with founding of the provisional
government of Oregon Territory.
During tho civil war, Daniel Applegate
enlisted with tho Oregon volunteers and
was commissioned Iieutenaut in Co. II
1st Oregon Infautry. After he was mus
tered out of the volunteer service ho was
cominiteicucd by President Andrew
Johnson as lieutenant in the 12lh regi
ment infantry, United States regular
army, anu was ordered to report to Gen.
Thomas on Governors Island, Now York,
but as there was no prosp ct of active
service ho did not accept the assign
ment.
He was married Sept. 9, 1S6C, to Vir
ginia, daughter of Elijah T. and Susan
Esles of Douglas county.
In 1S7 i ho was commissioned iii the
U. S. mail service as railway postal
clerk, wnicn position lie biied lor some
years but resigned later to enter the
service of Wells, Fargo & Co., as express
messenger, tie was in ibis service
many years and from which he retired to
care for his private interests.
He leaves a widow and seven well
grown sons and daughters to mourn his
untimely end.
He was a man of vigorous personality,
broad mind, literal views, tolerant of the
opinions of his fellowmcn and singu
larly free from the petty vices and preju
dices common to mankind.
In the just words of the white haired
pastor who conducted his services at his
grave: "lie was an honorable citizen,
an affectionate husband, a loving father,
a good man." Rcqusescat in pace.
