Advertiping Rates ou Application. APRIL 13. 1903. TAX TIMBER LANDS JUSTLY. The Plaixdkaleh sees no reason why resident property owners and farmers should be taxed op to the full limit of the actual value of their property and also to oar taxes on money borrowed to improve their holdings, or -on tbe amount of unpaid debts, for then a man is paying taxes on something which does Dot belong to him, and at the same time the timber land speculator is not paying taxes on one-fourth or one-fifth of the actual value of his land. There are bat few timber claims today that are not worth at the rate of from f 8 000 to $20,000 per section, and if all prop erty was taxed justly it would remove a very heavy burden from the shoulder of the agriculturists, and we have come to this conclusion by knowing the value of the timber lands which are being taken op so rapidly by speculators and timber land syndicates. ' Oratiooal Contest. A treat deal of fuss and leathers is being made about the Rev. Rastus A Smith of McMinnville college for deliver ing another man's essay on the Jews. Tbe college fraternity are now trying to let him down easy which ' is perfectly rieht and proper for there is no more wrong in using the oration than tliere is for a preacher we heard of who preaches a sermon taken from a book and publishes it as his own. This is nothwE more or less than putting a J. K. Weatherford was elected tempor ary chairman and C. V. Galloway tem porary secretary. The gentlemen were affpru-arJg made permanent olRcera of the convention. The following platform was adopted unanimously: "We are unalterably opjo80d to the present trust dictation of our financial tariff legislation, especially as exempli fied by the Aldrich and Fowler bills now pending before Congress, and, declare such control harmful to good govern ment. "There is an overwhelming demand from a vast majority of the people for revision of the tariff along rational lines, We repudiate the absurd, proposition of continuing high protection on pro ducts of the gigantic trusts, now grown to plethoric wealth under Governmental favors. "We demand favorable action in lieu of mere promises in securing Federal im provements of our rivers and harbors. "We demand the passage of effective laws controlling the trusts, and sincere efforts to enforce them. Public lands belong of right to the people, and any attempt to alienate said lands contrary to law should be con demned at the bar of public opinion : we therefore favor an honest administration of the Land Department, as well as all other departments." The administration of Governor Chamberlain ' is justly receiving the commendation of the people, Irrespect ive of party, ami the record of the Dem ocratic party in the recent Legislature reflects honor upon the party, and will redound to the welfare of the state. We commend their earnest endeavor to' curtail public expenditures in the inter est of the taxpayers." The only points left out of the resolu tions being 16 to 1 ; a pledge to renew worship of Jefferson and 40 acres and a mule. almost a thing of the past. . David and Frank, the little sons of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Tyner, are now conva lescent under treatment of Dr. F. R. Bowerson. The "donkey" engine for the Zwight- Snyder saw mill was unloaded from the cars Saturday, and work at the mill will commence as soon as it is put in posi tion. . Dick Gutheredge. who was disap pointotiin getting the Plotner property, has bouglit eeven acres adjacent to that property, and will commence to build at once. We cordially welcome the Gutheredge s to our city. School will commence at our new school house on Monday, - April 20th with Mrs.II. E. Hamlin and Miss Mary Benn as teachers, and 'no doubt those estimable ladies will appreciate the fact of having a comfortable' school home with plenty o! room. D. N. Fish, the newly elected mayor of this city who has been dangerously ill, is reported as being better today Mr. Fish is one of the most popular and highly esteemed men in our city, and a universal feeling of sympathy is ex pressed for his illness, and the hearts of all go out in the wish for his recovery Houses are scarce and tents are now being used for homes. It seems to ns that the erection of four or five cot tages for rent would tea good invest ment for some one who has money to do the building. Stueetroff colonr will want at least six houses upon their arrival here, which will be about May 20th. Mollis. At Luncheon. Mrs. I. Wollenburg entertained twenty of her lady friends at a one o'clor luncheon Friday. - The affair was one of the nicest which has been given in Rose burg. The guests were invited by inf lation's worded in rhyme, and most of the answers' were written in the same style. The guests were made to search Seeking a Refuge. Oakland News. At Natchex, Miss., last Thursday the members of St. Mary's congregation had most peculiar experience at high mass that morning at 7 o'clock, when a large, fine doe ran down Union street into the iron fence about the cathedral, severely injuring itself.' The doe then ran into the cathedral and up and down the aixlej among the members of the con gregation. It finally made its way out, running at high speed, and when two blocks from the cathedral fell to the ground and -died in a few moments. The doe had been driven from the l.uif- iana parches bv high water, swam the river, climbed the hill at the river front and raced through the streets to the cathedral. . BottomaDroppcd Out of Hope.

" A Santa Rosa, Calif., dit-patch of yesterday's date says : If the hop mar ket remains in the same condition as at present it will hiean a' loss of thousands of dollars to a number of Sonoma county growers who still have a portion of last year's crop 6h hand. At the present time the bottom has dropped out of the market. v Several hundred bales of hops were sold here yesterday at prices rang. ing from 17 to 19 cents per pound. Thirty days ago 24 cents per pound was offered for the same. hopo. To one large hop-grower the fall in the nisrket will mean a loss of between $15,000 and $20,000. The fall has been caused, it is stated, by a combination of dealers in New York. One grower sold yester day 381 bales of hops at 17 cents per pound, for which he was offered 24.ents earlier in the season. 7 Will Thompson, of Coles Valley, is quite sick in this city.

The convention proceedings at Eugene last Thursday, were given in the last is sue except the direct announcement that the lion. Binger Hermann had re ceived the nomination. It seems that iter tbe Plaixd kalis was printed and until 19 30 on Friday night, that tbe chances for nomination of the Douglas County candidate were rather attenuat ed if the vote as announced, may be re garded as showing the true situation. On the various ballots Mr. Hermann received rote as follows: 1-79, 2-78, 3-81, 4-S2, 6-S1, &-61, 7-80, 8-80. 9-81, 10-82. 11-80. 12-72. 13-63, 14-57. 15-40 16-39, 17-38, 18-40, 19-12, 20-54, 21-62, 22-74, 23-79, 24-95. From the above vole it will be seen that while there was enough opposition to Hermann to have defeated hint easily after tlie twelfth ballot that the three prominent opposition candidates, Gatch, Vawter and Kelly could not harmonize. They were each determined that the - Douglas County candidate should receive the nomination if they did not, and thus it became anna rent among the politi cians that while his full strength as first choice was 78 yet he was the second choice of 17 delegates, whose first choice was Gatch, Kelly or Vawter. The committee on resolutions report ed as follows : We, your committee on resolutions, hereby recommend that the following resolutions be adopted . by the conven tion, to-wit: Resolved, That we hereby record our high appreciation of tbe private worth and public services of tbe late Thomas H.

" Oakland, Oregon, April 11, li"03. Editor Plaikdkalkb, Roseburg, Oregon. Dear Sir : Look out lor a piece signed Xanonicus." It was written over a week ago by the City Recorder J. II Miller and if he is consulted the articl will never go in print. J. A. Hogan, the city marshal may try to impose on your paper for spite. Yesterday he came in to the office and drew his policeman's club on me because I threw the copy at his feet and refused to be annoyed any further with it. This is the kind of a city marshal we have here. In brief: One week ago I wrote up the trial of two Eastern men arretted and tried in the recorder's court for riding through the streets faster than six miles an honr. I submitted proof to the recorder. lie was satisfied. The marshall is displeased with the attitude of both the editor and recorder. - Fraternally yours, D. E. ViRjios. Why did not Editor Vernon match the club with his "shooting stick." When we can get the names of the two eastern dudes and the full particu lars of their disgraceful conduct which has not appeared in print and which was, if our information be correct, a disgrace not only to Oakland but to the state at large. Why were the names of the dudes sup pressed? Was the conduct so disgraceful that the news items did not give names for fear that tlm news would be sent bat'k to the offended home? places by. finding the plate on which was laid the green cord which matched with the white one which they had. The parlor was decorated in green and white, and the talde was decorated with the same colors with a daintily arranged center piece of white carnations. The menu which was served is as follow : mbnc!

Ladybird and San Jose Scale. residence will take . Government entomologists have dem onstrated that the Aistic ladybird has a great liking for Uie larve of the Sao Jose scale as an article of fteady diet, and are now priagating this specif f insect "for distribution among orchard. sts in districts aQected by scale, says an official . report. Efforts have been made heretofore t? induce American ladybirds to feed on the scale, without effect ; but the Asiatic article seems to have a nat oral predilection for the pest which has caused more trouble and expense to tbe orchardmen of the Pacific coast tha any thing else. In tbe investigations conducted by the government, it lias been found that the original habitat - of the San Jose scale was in the northern and northwestern part of China. Here also the ladybird flourishes and is known as tbe deadly enemy of the scale. Hence, when imported. to America, the bivtle immediately attacked the icale from instinct. The offspring from a single pair of these leths number near ly 1,000, and it has been demonstrated by actual count that one beetle will de vour 7,000 San Jose scale larvae in one day, so that it can be readily seen that if the Asiatic ladybird ever becomes firmly established in this country, it will result in a considerable diminution of the scale. It is supposed Jhat the scale was imported to this country from its original habitat on Chinese peach trees, brought to California by the late Jas. Lick. " Italy Looking Our. At .'-Rome last Thursday, SenatoT Villari, in an address delivered befte the king and queen at the owning of the international historical congress, made several allusions to the United States., uesaid Lurope was shut in between two great, powerful countries Russia on the east and the United States on the west. The latter, from a population of 30,000,000, had risen to80,000t000 and no one knew what number , its population eventually would reach. The United States also had taken the lead in all works of progress and civilization. These two forces, acting on Europe, were likely to render necessary a union of the differ ent European countries which would completely change the geographical situation to the advantage of Europe. The senator added that lie foresaw and predicted tho twentieth century will perhaps see the solution of the problem "The mixing of tho white and black races." he continned,"brouitht about the war of secession in the United States and tbe liberation of the ne groes. from slavery but this bad notbai monized rr amalgamated the two races which, hate each other now perhaps more than-ever before.

Valley .League Organized. ErcExs, Or., April 11. Preliminary steps of organixation for a baseball league to comprise the towns of the valley wer$ taken at a meeting held in Eugene tonight, although tliere was not the enthusiasm displayed in tbe meet ing that bad Ufa lioped. There was prwent George M. Turner, represent ing Albany ; Irving l. Gibnuu, of Rose burg, and Alton Hampton, of Eugene. It was decided to form an amateur league, composed of three teams fur the present, and that other teams might be admitted upon application and with the consent of two-thirds of the members of the league. Organisation was effected by the election of George M. Turner, of Albany, president; I. P. Gibson, of Roseburg, secretary, and A. Ilamptoo, of Eugene, treasurer. The name adopt ed is the Willamette Valley League. A resolution passed that one repres entative from each team, together with the president ol the league, constitute a lioard of control, bich sliall have full power to settle disputes and transact all legitimate hnainniB for the league, and shall act upon ail I matters of grievance. It was also resolved that two officia umpires be apiuted by the president of the league, theee appointments to be subject to ratification by the bard of control. The gKte receipts at each game are to go to the team on whose grounds the game h played, and out of these rece'pt the expense of the visiting team are to be paid. Any player who has signed to piay with any team in the . league shall be ineligible to play in any, other team in the league without the consent of the team with which he is signed. The rules of the National Ieagua were adopted for tbe government of all games. Umpires are given disciplinary powers over players to the extent of suspending or removing from the game any team or player guilty of insubordination or of nngentlemanly conduct. , The league season is to on ' on May 5, but the matter of arranging the schedule of games is deferred for later wtion, as well as the amount of forfeit each team shall post as guarantee of completing the schedule of games.
