were none in force after January 1, 1903,
so we were informed by Mr. Conner,
la future it will be oar effort to let every
puuo pay lur vue auveruaiug uy sepa
rate items and dates. If any of our pa
trons drop oat we shall not feel offended
for after a careful estimate of the cost of
paper, setting up advertisements and
other expenses connected with the ad'
Tertising department, we are convinced
that for the past six months the dis
played advertisements have been run at
a loss to the management. Hereafter
all advertisements will be charged for
by the inch, single column measure. All
ads. under four inches will be charged
lor at the rate of 15 cents per inch first
iesae and 10 cents per inch each time
afterwards. .

13 inches, 2 cents per inch first in
. sertion and 9 cents per inch' per issue
each time afterwards. .

.cents per inch first insertion and 8 cents
per inch each time afterwards.
Business local notices for parties hav
Ing displayed advertisements, 5 cents
per line each insertion.
Local notices not in connection with
displayed advertisements, 10 cents per
line first insertion and 5 cents per line
each time afterifards. -
Church and society notices where
. there is no pecuniary consideration, or
for charity and all items of news are run
free, but wherever a pecuniary consid
eration is charged for entrance, etc.,
etc- the Plaixdkalkb will charge local
- rates for notices of the same.
No free copies of the paper will be
issued under any consideration, and the
price to every patron who receives the

Remember the republican county

Quite a pumber of the papers are
yelling for this man and that for con
press, but old dwf Trav is faithful and
he's kind and yon will never find a bet
ter friend than old dog Tray, as the
ballad goes. The Hon. Binger Her
mann, of Roseburg, only needs nine
votes to secure his nomination on the
first ballot, and all the power of the
Oregonian, Telegram and the two-fer
sheets cannot prevent his nomination or
even get up a combination against him,
and as the Plaindbalkr told the Ore
gonian three months ago:
"And shall Trelawney die?
And shall Trelawney die?
Then twenty thousand Cornishmen will
know the reason why."

state of Oregon, f 1,250.89, being the pro

amount which was received from this
source last year was IS09.10. which is

Board of Trade Meeting.
A rousing meeting was held at the
Board of Trade rooms on the evening of
March SOth, the event being the presence
of Col. F. V. Drake, superintendent,
and W. M. Killingsworth, secretary of
the Portland "Bureau of Information."
Mr. Killingsworth, who has been identi
fied with the development of Oregon for
over 20 years, was first introduced and
made a most able argument in favor of
co-operation between our local board
and the Portland organization. Mr.
Killingsworth is a man of very broad
experience ana liberal Ueas. lie is
thoroughly familiar with Oregon, her
post, her present and above all her fa
ture possibilities. He is working for a
detailed assortment of our resources, so
that an inquiring stranger, in Portland,
may be referred to what he is looking
for, somewhere in the state, directly,
without turning the whole state over,
Col. F. V. Drake was introduced at
the close of the former speaker s re
marks and in a very clear ana concise
wav explained the work of the various
boards of trade which he had visited.
The Colonel is an old time miner, hav
ing worked in the famous Comstock
during the days of Mackay, Flood,
O'Brien and Fair. He urged upon the
Board of Trade the necessity of getting
together the very beat exhibit possible
and maintaining it both at home and at
the Bureau in Portland.
Major L. D. Kinney, President F. W.
Woolley, F. B. Waite, H. C. Galey and
others made some very well chosen and
forcible remarks. It was resolved by
the Roseburg Board of Trade to collect
a splendid mineral exhibit (we have the
mines) and place it with the Bureau at
Portland; at the same time gather in
some of our best specimens of fruits,
grains, grasses, woods and in fact every
thing that will be of interest to prospec
tive homeseekers. It is a popular say
ing that : "I am from Missouri ; - you
can't tell it to mo you have to show
me." Well, that saying will fit us all.
You can show any person in a minute
what you could not tell mm in a day.
Now, that is where an exhibit far sur
passes any written or printed matter.
A man can read pages of descriptive
matter about the commonest mineral.
grain, vegetable or animal and not have
anywhere near as clear an idea of tbe
subject as he would get by seeing it for
a moment. "You can't tell it to them ;
you have to show it to them." There is
no question about the beneficial results
to be gained from such permanent ex
hibit at Portland. We want uch an
exhibit and we want the very best we
can get. The railroad companies have
generously given space a room 50xS0
in the Union Depot for our county ex
hibits, the business men of Portland
have furnished the room in the most
suitable manner. Everything has been
done and it is np to us to represent our
county. There is no cost connected
with the displav. Tbe S. P. Co. even
carries it free and delivers it to the Bu
rean. The Roseburg Board of Trade
will see to the packing and shipment of
the specimens, bo that if any person
wishing to contribute some specimen,
will only bring it to town, or send the
Roseburg Board of Trade word that the
sample may be had, the board will see
to getting it. This is largely a matter
of pride and as we have the means to be
well rJoi 2 in the front lit of counties,
it would show a lack of interest in, and
did we not take advantage of, the "gifts
the gods offer," and make our exhibit
worth looking at the second lime. Sec
retary Card well is always in attendance
at the Board of Trade and will cheer
fully take charge of anything brought in
for exhibition purposes.
Bryan and Cleveland.
"It is Mr. Cleveland's determination
to set a campaign in the field against
Bryanism," says one of Cleveland's
friends. But we think that he intends
that the repudiation of Bryanism , shall
be a vindication of Clevelsmdism, and to
make sure of this he will lead the move
ment in his persumtl capacity as an ex-
president. The Western tour he has
laid out for himself is a part of this cam
paign, and it was settled upon, in the
mind of Mr. Cleveland, without any con
sultation with the men. who have . been
trying to subordinate him and keep him
sequestered while at the same time
using his strength with the syndicates
and trusts, and that stupid element ot
the party in the East, which still bei
lieves that bit is a name to conjure
with. Mr. Cleveland is totally oblivious
of the change which has come over the
Democratic party since he was last
elected to the presidency. His Western
trip is not likely to open his eyes much,
or he is likely to be surrounded, in
making it, by the same-cuckoos who,
during the entire four years from 13'J3
to 1897 kept him so far out of "touch with
the party, to serve their own ends, that
when the party met again in national
convention it took the unprecedented
step of repudiating a President it had
elected, as a measure of self-pi-eeer
vation. Mr. Cleveland will not bo al
lowed to learn rouh of tbe party, mind
in the West, but he is shrewd enough to
anow, with or without the cuckooV, that
it were possible for bim to get two-
thirds of the delegates in the next na
tional Democratic convention, the fact
would be but a prelude to a greater dis
grace than was visited upon him by the
Chicago convention. . . ,
The Cleveland .campaign is for the
discovery of a man with" whom to detent
Bryanism. Cleveland proved in Buf
falo and in New York that ho is not
a tyro in practical politics. Then tie
must know that Bryan can not be de
stroyed, or his influence in the party
undermined, by forcing upon him and
the men who still support him a candi
date whose loyalty is questioned and
challenged by them. There are men in
the country who would be acceptable to
the elements w hich Mr. Cleveland is
now leading whose candidacy could not
be questioned by the Bryanites, as that
of a prodigal son, and whose nomination
would leave the Bryan men with abso
lutely no ground to stand on so far as
party regularitv goes. There seem to
be political writers who do not See tho
necessity for this discrimination, bot
it is inconceivable that Mr. Cleveland
does not tee it. In fact, he is known
to have ex pressed the opinion that, -if
Use party cannot gain under a reorgani
aation it wonld be better te leave Bryan
ism in command until it wears itself
out. Such an opinion is tantamount to
saying that the lrty must be further
united instead of further divided, and
its corollary is that a candidate mart
be named whose candidacy will take
the ground from under the feet of tho
Bryan men.
Land Subject to Location.
Should a vein of valuable mineral be
discovered on railroad land, the first
step is to ascertain if the railroad have a
patent to the land. If they have, the
proper course is to buy it from the rail
road company. If they have not patent
ed it, the land is subject to location. If
a portion of the vein is on government
land and a portion on railroad land, and
tho land is patented, by pouting a notice
of discovery at some point on the vein
where it appears on tho government
land, the locator is entitled to all that
portion of the vein lying without the I

It is a cold day in January when Port

"Tbe arrest yesterday afternoon of

land on Tuesday morning at Lis home.
The deceased was 76 years old and died
suddenly but peaceful. He has given a
lifetime of service to Oregon and in
Portland and wherever knewn was
regarded as one of the -most honored
citizens of the state. He was a man in
his lifetime more than a. politician, he
being a statesman in tbe broadest sense
of the word. His effort through life was
for the advancement of his fellow men,
and as a business man and banker he
was the soul of honor and integrity, and
Lis place in Portland's business field will
be hard to 11. He had been advised
by his physician to rest from the busy
affairs of the First National bank, of
which he was president, but would not
as he preferred to wear out his life
rather than lest or rust out. In his
death many a poor man in Portland has
lost a friend and such men's lives teach
this truth that there is more good being
done in the world than appears in these
times of rush to get rich.
1 oo Muchly Married.
A telegraphic report from St Helens,
Ore., of Tuesdays date says: Mrs. Jen
nie Higgins, who has brought suit in the
Multnomah County Circuit Court to
nullify atnarriage with C. W. Higgins,
has figured prominently in si miliar pro
ceedings in Columbia County. Mrs. Hig
gins secured a divorce from R. A. Russ
in the Columbia County Circuit Court
on October 3, 1002. and was married to
F. A. Wilson, of Portland, 13 days after
ward at Kalama, Wash. This marriage
was set aside by Judge McBride at the
adjourned term of the Circuit Court for
Columbia CvHinty, December 16, 1902.
Her attorney here says that she married
soon after the divorce against his advice.
Soon after marrying Wilson she also
wedded C. W. Higgins, a wealthy resi
dent of Stevenson, Wash., and about the
same time that the marriage with . Wil
son was set aside here, the marriage
with Higgins was annulled on the same
ground in a Washington court. The
suit in Washington to nullify the mar
riage in Washington was brought by
Mr. Higgins, but it is learned here that
Mrs. Higgins desired to bring suit for
herself and have the marriage nullified
in Multnomah County.

Wolfe A Co.'s store while stealing-
shoplifting, as the term goes.
"Ever since the big store opened last
week it has been : found necessary to
have constantly on guard a force of de
tectives and policemen to protect cus
tomers and the management from the
wiles of tbe criminal. In an endeavor
to stop the practice of shoplifting with
out undue publicity, Lipman, Wolfe &
Co. have met with strange embarrass
ments. Women of fashion have been
caught by the detectives with valuable
goods on their persons, with small arti
cles that they thought would not be
missed, andln more than one inntance
with property of such costliness as to in
vile the cupidity of the roost experij
enced in this crime."

be just a little tough, but did not think
that they cut their tenderloin steak out

The prize fight between "Terrible
Terry" McGovern and "Little Corbett".
Roth ell, for light weight championship,
was pulled off in Ban Francisco, Tue sdiy
Terry fought foul all the way, through
and (.he crowd hissed him several times.
Corbett fought fast to the finish, and. (n
the eleventh round ha landed three
times on Terry's jaw and Terry full
down and did not get np again in tea
seconds, so Corbett was proclaimed victor.
High Grade Pianos.
How wouid it look if I were to adver
tise that I had Steinway, Knabe, Fish
er and Needham l'ianos and souie cheap
er makes like Chickcring, Kimball and
others? It is ju6t aa consistent to sayj
that Needhttm is cheap, for there is no
better upright piano made. It has al
ways stood among the high grades ; it
has never been bought cheap and never
was soul ns such, for it has tto compete'
against all the high grade pianos that
are now on the market.
