Enuuii I'l.uxdkalku': In the last is sue ol the lteview the editor oi tnai paper has seen fit to give vent to a tirade of abuse against the city officials, seem- ngly on account of the Intention those officers have shown lo enforce the license ordinance While this is none of my fight, it seems to me that if Ibe editor of the Review iutendod to inaugurate a re form movement it would be highly prop er, and a great deal more effective, to confine himself strictly to the truth in stead of making assertions wbicli cannot be borne out by the facts iu the case. For instance, the Review asserts that All business men who bayen't a pull with the city officials are compelled to pay a license tax." In making this statement the editor of the Review would have lead those who are not familiar the facts to believe that there were a a certain few who should pay a tax but on account of having a 'pull" the ordi nance is not enforced agaiust them. Such assertions as this ou the part of tbe Review are all rot, there U not a vestige of truth in it, and the editor well knows there is not. Then why should he in dulge in such idle aud silly assertions? I venture to say tbat if this editor will look up the records be will find tbat there bas been a larger per cent of the city licenses paid up iu the last year and half than there has ever beeu before during the past fifteen years, and I also assert that there has been no (avoritelsoi howu to any person whatever. Now, with regard to tbe case of broker Miller would like to ask what kick the Review has cowing from that quarter? Mr. Miller was told time and agaiu that he had better pay the license, aud all parties who did not do so would be ar rested. He refused, knowing at the time what the consequences would be. Was it not of his own choosing ? Other arrests will follow this one, and (or good ness sake does tho Review pretend to uphold persons who refuse to obey the laws by which all societies muBt be gov erned? Again, the Review aseeits tbat which is false when it says, "The mayor sells every keg aud bottle of a certain braud of beer tbat is used in Koseburg Had the editor of that paper investigated the matter before making tho asset tion he would have found that tbe mayor never sold a bottle of boer iu bis life, and also that his trade iu that Hue extended to but a single business house in the city, aud furthermore, there is no ordi nauce requiring a city license to be paid in this Hue of business, and the same is true of tho ice business. Then why should the mayor pay for somothicg up- ou which there never has beeu a tax im posed? Other people have conducted this branch ot business uetore and no license was ever required, and it is notable (act that the Reviow had no fault to find whatever, aud why? Probably because it was theu couducted by person al fnuuus ol mat paper, and ol course tbat makes a great difference to the Re view. The conclusion of it all is (his The Reviow kicks si everything aud al everybody who don't toady to the Re view, aud those who do toady lo the Re view can do ni wrong in tbe eiiimatioo ol that paper. It has become so i bronie with the editor of that paper to kick, that he Is compelled to do so a tout so often in order lo retain his niual good health, and lo maintain lbs good will ol the Roeeburg Water Company a kick about the deplorable condition of the sowers must be made by all means. Yea, verily, the kicker doth kick, but It availeth hi m not. Citizkm. THIi LEWIS MINE?. One of Southern Oregon'! Best Pla cers. In last week's issue in an item refer- ing to the mines of Douglas and Joseph ine countijs, tho Ijwis mine on Grave creek waa referred to. Tbe following ad ditional particulars of this now famous mine are from the Observer : One o(tbe most extensive mining propertiee in Southern Oregon, and one which will irank well up to the line of the best mines, ia tbe Lewis placer, lo cated on Oraye creek about one mile from Lei and. The water (or this mioe is taken from Wolf creek and Is carried a number of miles over some rough country, being carried across Wolf creek near its mouth by a pipe line, then around the moun tain divide between Wolf and Grave creeks, lo all about l'i miles. Mining operations have been couducted at this place only abont 14 weeks and it is sur prising tbe amount of earth wblcb bas been moved in that time. Two giants hicb throw powerful 5-inch streams are in a position at the mine, only one being in operation at a time, changing to the other as occasions mar icquire, tho being able to use tbe water every mo ment during the 2 1 hours. A section somewhat over 400 by 500 feet and vary ing from 00 to 90 (eet from surface to bedrock has been removed. Eight inch wooden nllles (or the race were used at first, but these are being replaced by iron rifllee, as the amount of rock pass ing through tbe fiume .wears down a set of wooden rifles in a few weeks. Sixteen men are employed in and about tbe mine, land are quartered at tbe camp near by, but which bears no resemblance to the typical mining camp. Tbe buildings are all neat in appearance and reeplendant with white paint, occu pying a commanding position on a knoll overlooking the creek and in plain view of tho paasirjg trains. It is an ideal spot for a suuMner residence. Tbe office, bunk house, mess house and store houses are well adapted to the requirements, and tbe meals set before the employes at the mess house compare favorably with the best hotel fare. On exhibition in the office window is a curiosttv of rare beauty and one which ia seldom found in a placer miue. It is a section of cemented gravel about two feet across, and covered with delicate quartz crystals arranged in cluster over the uneven surface. The greater num ber of the crystals are clear, while a por tion is composed of pyrites ol iron crys tals which gives the 'appearance of each crystal bearing on its tip a speck of gold. It is a beautiful sight at any time, but as a sunbeam casta its rays upon the won derful formation to be absorbed, only to cast forth a million of tiny rays and dazzling shafts of light, its beauty is in discribable. This formation has lain for many ages under the surface of the ground, and was cast up in piping for the precious dust, Considerable development work is be ing done near the mine, opening up new ground for tbe pipe. Long Switches. The Oiegonian has been making a great "to do" over a prune switch grown in the Willamette valley, that measured 0 (eet iu length, which is no switch at all compared with eome grown in South Douglas. Just a few days ago John Weaver of Missouri bottom, brought in one grown last year on a German prune tree, that measured 13 feet and 8 inches, while a couple of years ago a switch was taken (row the Cbadwick orchard that measured "2 (eet in length and had grown in one reason, boutn l'ougtas takes the lead in prune growing. Tbe Willamette valley msy have as much mud, raiu, aud corrupt politics as any place in the United States, but it will never compare favorably with the Ump qua valley for prune raising, Beacon. Notice to Contractors.
