HON. BINGER HERMANN
Republican Nominee
Special Election June 1, 1903.
The Medford Mail savs: "Our Dem
ocratic brethren seem to rely for success
in the coming congressional election on
stay-at-home Republicans and friends
of defeated candidates' for the nomina
tion turning against Mr. Hermann.
We believe thev are reckoning without
their host in this matter. The Republi
cans of the first congressional district
have always been in the habit of fight-
ing lustily in the convention, and, how
ever the contest might terminate, stand
ing shoulder to shoulder in Eupport of
the ticket during the campaign. This
congressional election comprises other
things than the voicing of personal
opinions or the satisfaction of private
grudges. It involves the endorsement
or non-endorsement of the Republicans
of this district by Republican principles
and the administration of such by
the present executive and congress.
The assertion that the election of Mr.
Hermann will be construed as a rebuke
to the administration is without founda
tion. The election of Mr. Reames
would be more of a "slap in the face"
to the administration. Already Oregon
is classed in the estimates of eastern
papers on the presidential vote next
year among the "doubtful states," all
on account of the vote in the state elec
tion on governor last June. - The voters
of this district do not want to give fur
ther reasons for .classing this state other
wise than solidly Republican, and the
vote for congressman on the 1st of June
will show that the first district is Re-1
publican by a good, heavy majority.
The democratic papers of the First
congressional district want to impress
upon the people the fable that their
candidate, Reames, if elected, would
have a tremendous power and influence
in Congress. He is on the doughty side
of the political log to cut any figure or
to have any weight or influence. Just
at this time we need a man who is thor
oughly acquainted with legislative meth
ods and one who would not be afraid to
speak out in meeting. A republican
would have ten times more weight with
a republican administration than a dem
ocrat could possibly have, and the only
man in Oregon who thoroughly knows
. all the ina and outs of Land Office af
fairs is Binger Hermann. Get readv to
rally up the vote.
It was a great stab for notoriety the
democratic managers oi tne congress
ional committee made when they chal
lenged Hermann for a joint canvass.
j.nis was simply a "bellow" to let peo
ple know that the unterrified had a
management and also to create the- im
pression that the great and only Sam
was "doing things." It was a smooth
dodge to secure an audience and the
republican managers acted wisely in re
fusing to accept the banter; of this
imported aggregation. Junction City
Times.
Former Roseburger in Trouble.
San Francisco, May 6. Constable
Brown, of Dunsmuir, is on his way to
this city with warrants against Thomas
G. Dabney, now under arrest here for
grand larceny. The prisoner was form
erly a switchman employed by the
Southern Pocific Company at this point,
and through the ingenuity of special
officers of the railroad company he was
apprehended, having concealed in his
apartments a large amount of jewelry
and other articles, which were subse
quently identified as having been stolen
from the trainmaster's office in Duns
mair.
During . the hubbub at the recent big
fire which consumed the business por
tion of the town, many citizens lent a
helping hand in removing the property
to places of safety. Several apparently
sympathetic townspeople, among them
Dabney, helped move a large showcase
from the Etore of J. C. Wilson, contain
ing jewelry of various descriptions, to
the trainmaster's office for safe keeping.
The railroad people and Jeweler Wilson
are determined to prosecute him to the
full extent of the law. Dabney will be
brought to Yreka, the county seat of
Siskiyou County, for trial.
(Mr. Dabney is well known in Rose
burg being a son-in-law of Harvey Jones,
of this city. He was employed in the
yards here for some time, and have
many friends here who believe that Mr.
Dabney will be proved innocent. A pe
culiar coincident of the affair is that the
accused and the man Wilson, who lost
the property, are both former Rosebur g
residents.
F. T. Getlings of the Oregon Boom
Company, arrived in this city last Tues
day, from a visit with friends in the
East. Mr. Gettings informs us that
Mr. Blakely has been quite sick and is
at present unable to attempt the trip
to this coast, but it is expected that
he will arrive here the latter part of
this month. Mr Gettings says that the
operations of his company will be
resumed immediately.
MYRTLE POINT STAGE
ROBBED
pnse Revcd of About
$13?
watcnes Kciurneu.
gAgaiti the Myrtle Point-Roselmrg
stiigo was held up and tlio passengers
robbed near the summit of Hoover Hill
about nine o'clock, Tuesday night, J. A
Sawyer, driver. Mr. Sawyer says ho is
becoming quite accustomed to hold-ups,
as it was his stage that was robbed near
the same spot a few months ago. '1 he
U. S. mail and the passengers' baggage
were not molested, hut the passengers.
F.J. Lee, of Cylon, Wis., Win. Me
Grath, of New Richmond, Wis., and 11
II. Scovel, a traveling man from San
Francisco, contributed about $132 to the
highwaymen. All were through pa
sengers from Myrtle Point. Mr. Scovel
when seen by a Plaixdeai.uk represent
ative yesterday, refused to give a detail
account of the hold-up to the reporter
as he said he was not looking for noto
rietv. but as wo overheard him later
telling his story to a crowd of travelin;
men, he reminded us of the Irishman
who hail just been married and was
tellinc all his friends the secret, but
making them all promise not .to tell,
he could tell all the news himtclf. Mr.
McG rath was not so shy and gave out
the following account:
"We were driving slowly along, when
we saw a man enter the road and stop
just ahead of us. We thought nothing
of this as people had been stopping the
stage nil day to mail packages and let
ters, but when wo were ordered to stop
at the point of a nickel plated pistol,
held; by a man with a handkerchief
tied acioss his face for a mask,
things began to look different. The
robber ordered all to dismount, which
we did, and stood lined up in the
road ; then he called to his partner, who
emerged from the thicket and com
menced to search us. He secured $140
from Mr. Scovel. besides his watch and
chain, Mr. Lee lost ?o and I am out
$ 7.50. The robbers returned the watch
es and gave me back $1.50 and Mr. Lee
a dollar, when we told him that was
all we had. Scovel asked the highway
man for a dollar and by mistake he
handed him a twenty-dollar piece. The
driver was relieved of his gun, one of
the robbers telling him that he (the
robber) needed it worse than any stage
driver, because a gun is a bad thing for
a boy to play with. During the hold-up
both robbers kept up a hot tire of con
versation. All were ordered back into
the rig, the highwaymen disappearing,
and the stage came on to Roseburg."
Mr. McGrath is of the opinion that
the highwaymen were notified by tele
phone from Myrtle Point that Mr. Sco
vel was aboard and had considerable
money with him, as just before the stage
left Myrtle Point Mr Scovel had some
money changed and displayed his purse
of gold, and it was observed that Sco
vel was more thoroughly searched than
any of the other passengers, as both car
ried, in their hip pockets, money and
bills which were not touched.
Sheriff Parrott, with a number of
deputies is at present at Olalla and in
the vicinity of the hold-up, and it is
probable that some arrests will be made,
as at the last hold-up there was suspi
cion of a certain resident of that vicin
ity, but the evidence was not strong
enough to warrant an arrest, but this
time every clue will be followed out.
The man who stopjed the stage is
described by the passengers as being
about 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing
close to 160 pounds. His partner is not
over 5 feet 8 inches tall, but weigh
about 170 pounds. No accurate mental
memorandum of the clothes worn by
the men was taken, although it was
moonlight at the time.
Fell and Fractured His Skull.
Last week, the body of Mr. Blackwell,
quite an oid man, was found in the
waters of a slough which empties into
Smith river a few miles from Gardiner.
Ihc supposition was that he had met
his death by drowning, but, upon exam
ination, it was discovered that the skull
of the dead man had sustained a frac
ture, ana tne conclusion arrived at was
that he had fallen from a floodgate
which he was building, struck his head
on a board, and fallen ten feet further,
into deep water, and that the death of
the old man was due, not to drowning,
but to the wound received on his head
Mr. Blackwell leaves two daughters,
Mrs. Harding, living near Yoncalla, and
Miss Grace Blackwell. The news of
the death of their father is a sad shock
to them, as it is to many sympathizing
friends, and friends of the deceased man
Railroad Employes Reduced.
At Grants Pass the Southern Pacific
Company is following out ihe same
sweeping policy in the matter of reduc
ing the number of workmen employed
as is being done all along the line. A
number of idle railroad men are now in
Grants Pass, walking the streets and
wondering what to do. The bridge
crews, trestle crews, section crews and
machinists have all been reduced one-
half. The bridge crews that have been
kept continually north of here in the
mountain division of the road between
Grants Pass and Roseburg, and which
have consisted of fivo carpenters and
five helpers, have been reduced to five
men. Section crews that have
been composed of six men each have
been reduced to three men, only the
boss and two helpers being retained,
which the men themselves claim is not
enough to do the heavy work necessarv
to be done, with any degree of efficicn
cy. Other reductions in the number of
common workmen employed have been
maue aiong me line, wnere large crews
have been employed in bridge and road
repairing. Word is received from North'
crn California that 40 or more men have
been let out at Dunsmuir, and that the
same policy in the matter of cutting
down the section and bridge crews will
be followed down there as has been
here.
The lay-off is supposed to be duo to
the general labor trouble now going on
over the country and also to the fact
that
were
the men on the Southern Pacific
about to demand higher wages.

Land Matters May Proove Boomerang
(From llic OrcRonlan.)
Portland, April 30. (To the Editor.)
As a democrat I would prefer to tee
elected to congress a democratic repre
sentative from the J'irst District, but I
wish to warn the democrats of that dis
trict that if they depend upon the de
feat of Binger Hermann because of his
record as Commissioner of the General
1-and Utllce, tnev will Una it m the na
ture of a boomerang of course not
against the democratic nominee. As an
old man I have carefully watched the
differences between Secretarv Hitch
cock and Commissioner Hermann, and
I am yet to find other than inert) alloga
tions, anything reflecting upon Mr.
Hermann's honor, integrity or ability
as head of the Land Service of the Gov
ernment.
It has been exploited in tho newt-pa
pers that people from tho East have
been allowed to take up land under the
timber and stone act. If anyone will
read the timber and stone act he will
find that no citizen is excluded from
taking up and paving for lands under
that net; no more than if a citizen of
Oregon should go to Maine and buy
goods from the shelf. The timber and
stone act has been open to abuse, but
abuse that the Commissioner is iower-
les3 to prevent. The law is plain, and
it amounts to an advertisement that
the timber and stone lands of tho Gov
ernment are for Fale. The alleged
frauds of United States Commissioners
in connection with proofs, should not
have any effect upon the executive du
ties of the Commissioner of tho Geueral
Land Office. I am conversant with
many of Mr. Hermann's rulings as
Commissioner, and am vet to find one
that was not based upon a clear knowl
edge of the law and common sense.
I am an Oregonian, aud cannot forget
that Mr. Hermann as a momber of tho
committee on rivers and harbors did
valient service for the state.
Mr. Hitchcock is a polished gentle
man. I lie aitterencc between him and
Mr. Herman indicate to my mind a de
sire to pose as a reformer. They are
both republicans, and, as a democrat, 1
would like to see the fight go on, but
the services of Commissioner Hermann,
I think, are equ 1 if not superior to those
of Mr. Hitchcock. I am speaking sim
ply in the interest of Oregon.

The head office of the American Here
ford Breeders Association has been
moved from Chicago to Kansas City, Mo.
Secretary Thomas says this move is
made to conform to the wishes of a
majority of the members of the associa
tion. Some farmers never read agricultural
literature of any kind. It is easy enough
to tell what kind of farmers these are.
Can a lawyer who never reads law be
come successful at the bar? Can a phy
sician who reads no medical books or
papers expect any but fools for patients?
The farmer who never reads about farm
ing is the onlv man who, the loj-a he
knows about his business tho better he
can prosecute it in his imagination.
Learning to farm is like learning to
do anything else one must have the
facilities for learning, says the Texas
Farm & Ranch. The schoolboy must
have his text books, maps, globes, black
boards and teachers, otherwise his
progress will be slow and his education
a serious disappointment. If one under
takes to learn a trade, shoemaking,
tailoring, carpentering or blacksmithing
and evolve his technology from his
minor consciousness and main strength,
he will never become eminent or success
ful in his chosen avocation. He mast
have competent tutors, appropriate
material and proper tools. If he
would be a master in his trade he
must be grounded more or less in tho
scientific principles that underlie his
work. If a man assumes that because
he was born on a farm, aud has long
worked upon the soil, just as his father's
mules have, thst he is fully competent
to conduct agricultural operations, and
can farm"as well as anybody else,"
only sad experience will show him his
error, farming really requires
more
technical learning than any of the call
ings above mentioned, for there is not
a natural science, from geoglogy that he
cannot put to a profitable use in farming.
Botany is the science of plants.; .Can he
know too much about plants? Zoology
is the science of animals. Can a man
know too much about horses, cattle.

The arguments that our Democratic
friends are putting up against Binger
Hermann only demonstrate the weak
ness of their candidate.
Tho Republican nominee is assailed
with the accusation that ho has held
office IS years, 12 vears of wlrch he
Fpont in Congress. This is good argu
ment for Hermann. None better
could be made.
Twelve years in congre.-s is a fine roc
ommendation for a candidate.
His long service there places him in a
position ol obtaining important com
mittee places, where he is able to do
something. No one ever accused Binger
Hermann of being a lazv man. His long
congressional record is full of action.
When he was in Washington he

Tho state must have a man who can

Young Mr. Reames, of Jacksonville,

A bis Oay for the Children From 6 to i
60 Years of Age. j
The coming to town of a tented ex- i
hibitkm is always of more or lees im-
portanee to a larre number of people -The
days of the Mtwdoet arena, pop
corn and red lemonade are as welcome
now as when Dan Kie., the famous
clown, was in the element of hi? glory,
tw enty years ago. Since then . however,
conditions have changed and the per
formance oftbesUllfnl gymnasts and
wonderful trained animals of the pre
sent are as vastly different proposition
from the dinkey circus of old John
Hobin'-ofi's day. :l.nw day now means
something more than an excuse (or par
ents to take the children to see the
elephant and ktogh at the jokeeofth
paintid chvan. Tly are edoratioim
eve nts, erfetally w hen the attraction a
Xorrts A KoweV Bkr Sliow- w hvh will Kt
Itete soon. AiuueHtente of all kind
have had to rhou- reat improvement
during the pa.uleeade kt keeppaee with
tite times and to satafy the conetant
cry of the people for something new. It
if a well established fact that Norris fc
Rowe's aggregation is the most pro
gressive show that exhibits in the West.
Each year that they have visited us
they have shown great advance went
both in magnitude and merit and given
their patrons more for their monev.
This time they promise in addition to
the greatest train animal show in the
work!, a high class vaudiville and drees
performance by a carefully selected
company of the very best serial gym
nasts, tumblers, riders and Japanese
acrobats and jugglers. The date of
their exhibition here is next Tuesday,
May, 12th.
