It Ik strange bow many people are willing to o&er themselves as eacrificais upon the altar of public service. The approaching election for congress has caused an armr of men to rise from cover like the secreted warriors of Fiti- jamee from the Btocks and stones at the challenge of MeEeth. Reasonable peo ple will regard this unselfish desire to serve the public as an exhibition of patriotism, but there are those who are bo suspick ns and uncharitable as to be lieve that pelf and preferment are the leading motives. Verily, the world is full of queer people, and we are liable to have the doubting Thomases with us for some time to come. However, the congressional field is an open one,, and it is well to have a goodly number of randida tee from which to select. - Board of Trade Meeting. Things are quite lively around the Board of Trade these days. The Board's quarters in the New Bank building pre sented a very animated appearance on last Saturday. A large number of tlie substantial farmers" ol the count v wore in town and all made it a point to call in and interview the secretary of klie Board and were introduced by Mr. Cardwell to a number of strangers hailing over territory extending from Minnesota to Texas. A central meeting place where social intercourse may be had in an easy and general way between the strangers visiting us, and our citizens, a fair and irank exchange of ideas and a universal feeling of good fellowship is one of the leatnree 01 tne board, tor wniie we mav enlighten strangers and non-resi dents in regard to what Oregon is and has been, there are among those coming in, men who will develop natural re sources that the "old" residents" didn't know the country possessed. The board expects to have its display cabinets in position' early this week, ttien every one is invited to put on ex hibition anything he may have that is ol interest or that will be instructive. The board wants samples of fruits, grain?, grasses, flowers, seejs, minerals, in short evervthing that will tend to eIiow what the country produces. We desire and expect to have the first display in Ore gon, eo bring in anvthing vou have to keep the board along. In Recognition of His Services la the Oregon Legislature. The following appeared in the Rail way Employees Journal of March 5 : Portland, Oregon, Feb. 17, 1903. Hon. J. N. Hanshrough, Roseburg, Oregon. Doar Sir: By instructions of the Portland Division No. 4, U. B. R. E., we, its committee, are instructed to ex press to you the feelings of gratitude and respect which you have inspired by your work in the State Legislature. We are well aware, that, had it not been for your ability and exertions, the so-called fellow servant law, would never have been passed. We think that, not only the U. B R. E.. but all th; railway men in Oregon, are certainly under very great obligations to you for the good work which yon have done .One of the members of this committee was at Salem and saw the whole man ner in which this work was handled by you, and noted that all things else had to give place to the one object for which you took upon youiself, the legislative burden. We well understand, that such lobby' ing as can be done outside, is of very little value, in fact, practically accom plishes nothing, when-compared to a man who is on the inside, and works with the oue sole object in view. You will please, therefore, accept the hearty and sincere thanks and gratitude not only of the Portland Division So. 4, but of all the railway men which you represent. Yours sincerely, " J. D.

R. E is highly pleased with your work during the recent session of the Legislature. We realize that the passing of your bill creating the Co-Employee Law (known as House Bill No. 74), by the Legislature is due to your able manage nent of the same from start to finish. We bsheve the result of your work in the legislature, will be an object-lesson to the union men, also all railway em ployees of Oregon ; that the only suc cessful way to accomplish legislation in their belialf is to place their own men in the Legislature. . S e feel that you have merited the support we gave you, and you will please accept onr sincere thanks annd appre ciation of the great and successful work you have accomplished for ns, for union ism, and for all railway employees throughout thetaje.

A good num ber attended the meeting . held in the Court House and new shares were added to the stock holders list in the new Association. The time from 10 a. m. till 12 wa 5 given to a discussion of the plans and purposes of the new organiza tion, and to answering questions relating to the Salem Association which is work ing on lines that are proposed for the L'mpqna Valley Association. - The afternoon session was devoted to a careful consideration of a fine set of By-Laws which were adopted, .one sec tion at a time. - A Board of Directors was elected upon the first ballot as follows : Messrs Wright, McCall, "Weber, Spaugb, and Gill. The Board organized at the close of the stock holders meeting" with the following officers: President, Morris Weber; Vice President, Wright; Secre tary, F. A." McCall. This Board is now organized for busi ness and will at once begin preparations for the construction and equipment of an up-to-date packing house which will be ready for business at as early a date as possible. The success of the Associa tion is assured with a board of conserva tive business men at its head, and a la ge part of its stock already held by perminent prune producers. There should now be a united effort on the part 67 the stock holders to place the balance of the stock in the hands of Prune Growers. The benefits of the Association should be distributed as far as possible by plac ing the stock in the hands of as many growers as possible. Those desiring a share of stock should write at once to Secretary F. A. McCall. Considerable more than half the stock is now taken. Benson Captured. Christ Benson of whom mention has been made, was captured on Saturday, at Olympia and is now in jaiL Commissioner's Court. Tlie claim for damage, made by Frank Gorrell gainst Douglas county for $10, 080 for injuries received by the collaps ing of the county bridge over Hubbard creek, on July 6, 1903, was gotten rid of by allowing Gorrell 1 1,050. In the matter of bounties on coyotes it is ordered that a bounty of $3.00 be paid for the scalps of coyotes and wolves killed in Douglas county. Any person having scalps can take them to a justice of peace or notary public within three days after the killing and make an affi davit to the killing and then send the scalps and the affidavit to the county clerk and claims will be allowed by the court. President Roosevelt will make a trir to the Pacific Coast and will take a run over the S. P. from Portland to San Francisco. Stops will be made if in daylight at Salens, Albany, ' Eugene, Roseburg, Grants Pass and Ashland. The report 1 is current that General Fuisston is to bo 6ent to the Pacific States to take charge of a larpe body of troops to be sent to Al.iFka. This ecsms as though business was intended on the boundry qnestion. Lyons the murderer of Sheriff Withers will'suspend animation at Eugene, April 17. Judge Hamilton in sentencing the man to death said : "Mr. Lyons," "have you anything to say why the court should not pass sen tence upon you in accordance with the law and the verdict of the jury which has found you guilty of the ci ime of murder in the first degree?" Lyons said in a low voice, "I don't know why I fired the shot, I hesitated a long time and he (Withers) ought to have seen my iin. I think Smith Constable) is to blame for he was standing at the back window and could not have helped from seeing me with the pistol-he ought to have come in and I wouldn't have dred I-I didn't mean to do it." The court commenced as soon as the last words of the prisoner were otter ed and spoke in a clear and conaise tone the following words : "Mr. Lyons, you wantonly took the life of a good and faithful man, a life which you could not replace and which has gone to eternity as the result of your proven act. The life belonged to an officer of the law, who, at the time, was in the faithful per formance of his duty. What has been done is pajt and you have been found guilty by a jury of your peers of the crime of murder. I reirain from men tioning the past life which has educated you to commit this, the worst crime known to law. You were a fugitive from the law at the time of your at- temped arrest. What has cone before does not matter now, except as a lesson to thorn who are impressed with the kind of life which leads from oue kiud of crime to mother. "The verdict handed in by the jury was fully warranted bv the evidence brought in. You are, beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty of his murder. It will not do for you to say that the crime was the fault of any other man or person You said 'any person attempting to get the drop on me does not value hi life,' or words to that effect. Yon took life under1 this circumstance and you alone are responsible. You have come to the end to which all criminals of your kind eventually come to the commission of some crime which effectually removes you from the pale of society. "It is now but a short time until yon will be no more on this earth as a living being I therefore abjure you to see to your mental preparation for yonr death "This court has an unpleasant duty to perform. The sentence of this court is that on Friday, April 17th, 1903, be tween the hours of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., in the court yard of the jail situated at the county seat of Lane county, Oregon, witnessed by at least 12 bona fide citizens of this county, yon hang by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on yonr soul." ine prisoner did not exnibit anye motion whatever but stood still until the sheriff turned him around to take him back to jail. He then gave a great sigh as if his last hope bad gone. In the midst of the stillness of the courtroom the clock on the tower slowly struck ten. Eugene Guard.

While we have no desire. or inten tion to take any credit from Represen tative Hansbrough for the work he did mtbe House of Representatives, yet this fact must be apparent to every fair minded man : If the bill had not been championed in the Senate and fought to a finish there by Senator Marsters the bill would have been defeated by its many adversaries. Representative Hansbrough was the daddy of the bill and fathered it in the House, but Mars ters was the midwife who kept it from "dying a'bornin'." South to be Solid For Roosevelt. Last Friday at New York City the at titude of President Roosevelt toward the negro was indorsed in a rousing mass meeting of colored people held in the Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church in that city, at which Bishop W. B. Der rick, of the First Methodist Episcopal District made a stirring appeal to his people to turn their eyes to the "door of hope opened by the President" to the blac race.' The mention of the name of the President by the speaker drew foith tremendous applause from both men and women. The bishop indulged in a bitter denunciation of Senator Till man, of South Carolina. The meeeting constituted the first step toward the formation of the "Roosvelt Invincibles," which organization will fa vor the nomination of President Roose velt. Bishop Derrick .will speak in Philadelphia on a similar mission and will address the colored men in many of the principal cities of the country and organize them into local "Roosevelt In vincibles," who will use every effort to ward placing the colored men as dele gates in the next National convention. On the platform at the meeting was James H. Hayes, of Virginia. During his speeck Bishop Derrick spoke of the appointment of colored men to office by G rover Cleveland and other Presidents, bat said that, whereas these Presidents had appointed negroes, Roosevelt ap pointed men. "Color is nothing," said the speaker, "however much the white men would harp upon it. Why, there are colored men whom I would not allow in my kitchen, much less in my dining room. Yes, and there are white men whom I would not allow in my kitchen, either." At the close of his speech the bishop offered the following resolutions, which were adopted amid cheers : "Resolved, That in his excellency, the President, the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, the liberty of the world has a most fervent defender,' civilization a gillant representative, humanity a gen erous protector, the American Nation a type of civil valor and heroic self-denial which ought to characterize the first magistrate of a republic. "Resolved, That we recognize that the great and unfinished task of Lincoln lias fallen into his hands and will be properly and successfully accomplished for the happinoss and prosperity of the Nation. "Resolved, That we pledge our selves from this time henceforth to use our in fluence for his nomination and election to the Presidency in 1904. "Resolved, That we form ourselves into an association to be known as Roosevelt Invincibles," recommending similar organizations to le formed throughout the country'.'"' Mr Patterson Explains.

Dr. T. W. Har- ri,xhairman of the Republican Con gressional Committee for the First Dis trict of Oregon, yesterday issued call for a meeting of the committee to be at the Imperial Hotel in Portland nexi inursoay, March 1. the con- mittee will take action toward the hold ing of a convention for the nomination of a successor to the late Thomas II Tongue. A fairly good attendance ot members ot the committee is expected, but a nam berofthe committeemen from distant counties have sent proxies. There Is no question but that the committee will fer the matter of nomination to the voters, and that primaries and county conventions will be held, as in the case of a general election, and delegate selected who will make the nomination at the district convention. Once it was the custom of well-to-do farmers, if they had an especially bright boy, to educate him for a profession, simply because he was "too smart" to be just a farmer says Farm and Ranch. If a son was a dullard, all the education he needed was reading, writing and arithmetic as far as the "single rule of three" Tor he was to be only a farmer, and farmers did not need more education than that. The result was the tarn s be came peopled with men without energy who were content ' to dig a bare aubis tciice out of a refractory soil, and had no ambition and little desire for any thing better. They were condemned to a life on the farm, and were resigned to their fate. Under such conditions is it any wonder that agrioaltare languished, and that progress was impeded at every step? The condition was handed down to humanity from remote antiquity with only a few bright oases in the great des ert of arricnltural ignorance. When the republic ot Rome was in its glory agriculture was looked npon as the noblest occupation of man, and her greatest statesman and warriors were farmers who with their own hand yoked the bullocks and gnided the plow. It was much the same in Greece at the period of her history and in Carthage and Syracuse. . But with those excep tions agriculture was held to be the work of slaves or blockheads. But farm ing as a profession is emerging from its dark ages," and farmers are recovering their heritage of intelligence, progress and prosperity. The world begins to realize the fact that a farmer can hardly have too much knowledge of everything ttiat pertains to agriculture, or possesses too much sound judgment sndbosim ss knowledge. The country depends npon farmers for food, clothing and the ma terial for merchandise and are as much interested in farming as farmers them selves. Others can no more live and thrive without farms and farmers than farmers can themselves. Therefore the people, the general government, the states, counties and even dtk-s, can in no other way so effectually serve their own interests as by doing all they can awfully do to promote the Interests of agriculture. While the Roseburg Board of Trads and the citizens of our town in general have ipent much money in advertising the resources of Douglas county, with the view of attracting the eastern boms- seeker to Western Oregon, there are real estate men who, unaided and alone. have done much to transplant many men from the worn out and exhausted elds of the Eiixt to the rich, fertile and productive lands of Douglas. Prominent among the men who have quietly car ried forward Western Oregon's civiliza tion, who have been instrumental in transforming rude forests into happy and prosperous homes, is the name of our genial real-estate dealer, John W. Gardner. During the three years that be has done business in Roseburg he has script 60.00J acres of timber land, has located on timber claims 310 men, and on homesteads an even 300. In these transactions he has' added much to the assessable wealth of Douglas coun ty and on the homesteads he fas placed class of eOle who will develop the resources of, and enrich both county and state. Other real estate men have been equally active and to these men our Board of Trade should extend every assistance to the end that many acres of rich unoccupied lands in Douglas coun ty be cultivated and made to yield to man the riches which have slept undis turbed in their bosom from the day of their creation.

The per diem employes will not have their wages increased, but will be recom mended for tbe same pay for a day oi nine hours. The system of pay will be regulated. Wherever practicable the operators will be required to pay by weight instead ot by the car, and elsewhere by the lineal yard. The miners will have check dock ing representatives at thtir own ex pense. This will practically amount to a second increase in wages.

The terms of the verdict aro to hold for three years, and recommendations are to be made for settlement ' of wage and other questions at the end of that period. .In local disputes the operators will be advised to treat with committees of the miners, and this may be a suggestion for a local board ot arbitration. a meeting of the Stock Holders of the Umpqua Valley Prune Association wil be held at the Court House in Rosebnrg, Douglas County, Oregon, on Saturday March 7th, at 1 o'clock.
