OFFICE IN MARKS BLOCK, ROSEBURG, OR. CANADIANS PROBSTS. It is probable that t'un: In, "ith tlio Banction of Britiai., vi! si rtly declare a Monroo doctrine of hero In fact, the Canadian oxped; ion which h-ft (lur ing tho 8U'i:iiilt for Hudson bay, on tho ship Neptune, will i. -'mint thi British Hag on Ratlin's Land, ami nil tlm North ern islands other than those recognized as belonging to Denmark, and will noti fy tho American whalers who fish and rendezvous in the hay, that it is a close Canadian sea, and henceforth they mut conform to Canadian regulations. Most of these whalers are from Glouces ter, Mass But it is not her northern borders that Canada is anxious about just now ; she does not anticipate diiliculty there. Re cent speeches at Washington by Sena tor Hale, declaring that the annexation of Canada is desirable in the interests of the United State, and by Senator Lodge suggesting that steps bo taken for the purchase from France of St. Pierre and Miquelon islands, have, how ever, caused concern in ollicial circle?, as well as to the general public. The Toronto Globe, v.'dch is the ollicial or gan of the government and makes no pronouncement of political policy which is not authorized by the government, asserted the other day that any attempt by the United States to BocureSt. I'ierre and Miquelon (thereby eventually domi- , , . ,, i.i-i i absolutely controlling Cmada s highwav . . .. .. ", 1 ic n luimuidiiut mite riinit.4v4itii I to me Aiiaiuic;, wouiu uo auriuuicu i i ,, - n i i .i . ! would be re ... " garded and resented as an unfriendly act. On the other hand, as Great Brit ian is an American power and was one before the United States had an inde pendent existence, the acquisition of these islands by her could not possibly be regarded as a violation to the Mon roe doctrine." This cue has been taken up by news papers, irreejectivo of parly, from one end of Canada to the other. Many of them also express the hope that the ef forts of Newfoundland to arrange a re ciprocity treaty with the United States will not bo crowned with Mietoss by any action at the coming session of the United States Congress, and all hope that the opposition party in Newfound land, whose sole platform at the np proachingelections in that colony is "confederation with Canada" will triumph. The board of trade of Ottawa lus and will Ehortly discuss, now before it, notice of a resolution urging that tho govern ment be petitioned to at once declare that no change in the ownership of St. Pierre and Miquelon, unless to Br'tain, w ill be tolerated, and that Canada asks, as she successfully did on a former occa sion, that the veto be put ujkiii any reci procity airangement between Newfound land and the United States. It is thought that the Canadian govern ment's views upon these questions will be presented to the imperial govern ment by Sir Frederick Rorden, the Ca nadian minister of militia, who goes to London at the request of the colonial and war offices to discuss the decision of the Canadian government to increase the militia force from 40,000 to 100,000 men. Presumably the I'ritish authori ties arc anxious that Canada's military plans should fit in with ;omo general scheme of empire defense, but, what ever their views may be upon that ques tion, it is certain they will be asked, if not by Sir Frederick ISorden, then by the usual official channels, to sanction Qanada's "Monroe" doctrine. The Telephon; and the Farmer. Have you ever thought how many hours out of even- week can be saved for yourself, jour family and your teams by the assistance of the telephone? Have you ever calculated the minutes that can be gained in case of sickness or business emergencies? Have you ever though! of the dollars that you might gain were you only in close touch with markets? Can you conceive the pleasure to be derived from having in your home means of immediate commu nication with relatives, neighbors or friends, though situated miles away? The telephone will pay for itf-elf by getting better market prices. It will save seviral dollars every month by avoiding needless trips to town. It will deliver and receive telegrams and imjwrtant messages immediately and without expense. It will keep you informed on weather predictions. It willorder repairs instantly when machines break down. It will do the visiting and make social calls without the trouble of "dressing un ' and making a dusty, sultry or freezing side. It will get a doctor on a moment's notice, and maybe save a loved one h life. It will get election returns as soon as 'they are in. It will keep the boys on the furm and ;:also the daughters. It will make homes happier, brighter land better and more delightful in a ithousaud different ways. Progressive farmera throughout the 'country are installing telephones in their homes, and in the near future (every agriculturist, will have a direct 'means of communication with tho out Iside world.

REPUBLICANISM IN TEXAS, i ncsuiNA 1 u WILL CONFIRfl WOOD MEXICO FIXES MINPBS Wahpc " " After u lengthy conference in Galves ton tho Republican leaders of Texas have agreed upon a plan for harmony and outlined tho campaign for the next year. Tho harmony agreement is that ex-Congressman It. 11. Hawley is to bo re-elected national committeeman and Cecil Lyons is to be re-elected chairman of the state executive committee. Tho Republicans are setting every lino to land at least half of tho Texas con gressmen next election, and believe they have strong encouragement. The Terrell election law, enacted at the last session of the legislature, knocks out the independent ticket, and all tickets, in fact, whose parties do not hold regular primaries ana at tlm last election regis tered a certain vote. Tho Iudepondents, Prohibitionists, etc., have heretofore, combined, proven a factor In Texas loli- tics. Tho Republicans L .luvo tliat these voters, who are now without a recognized party, will : fliliate with them to a larger per cent tl a they will with tho Democrats, An indication, they pay, of their encoura 'rmont ia to be found in the election last week for a congressman in one of the south Texas districts, in which Houston, tho metrop olis of southern Texas, for the first time in her history went Republican. Two Classes of Farmers. . . i iiere are two clashes ot iarmers, says . , - . ., , a recent writer: tirst, the man who is , . . . . , bigger every way than his farm. f ucli a man it i oilhi t iiinke niiicli ilifler- nliis) tmu- mam armd Im he runs business the farm on close, practical principles and makes a profit. Second, the man whose farm is bigger than he is. No matter how many or how few acres he has, he doesn't run the farm. The farm runs him. E. P. Snyder gives an account, in the Ohio Farmer, of a dairyman living near Toledo, who keeps 35 Jersey cows on 100 acres of land and has made thum earn the past year $4, 400 grc", from which he has a profit of f 2,200. He makes butter and sells it in Toledo at 5 cents in summer and 30 cents in winter. His cows, counting butter, fkim milk aud everything, earned him over 1125 apiece. This is ! -i .1.1 r.1 . t i ,,m wt' 1 ..... 1 Unholy Roilcrs Roll. The Kugenc Register is responsible for tho following: "Devotional exercises at Humphrey Memorial church last evening were en livened by features not down on the program. The customary hervices were progrf!ing without unusual incident nhen suddenly them ewoorl down up on the devout congregation three blust ering zealots with bombastic hellelujahs aud rambling ami almost incoherent testimonies of the iimny mercies and We!ings bestowed upon them. Instead of looking the parts of brands plucked from the burning they could have sus tained with honors the roles of assassins. Their exhortations we're filled with such expressions as "worshiping God up in the air" and "being up in the air with the chosen." IJv the time they had fhmhed the congregation was mostlv, 'up in the air," also, that is, they were out of sight. A little adroit questioning dcveloed the fact that the four walls of thechurch contained no less notorious personages than the "High Hollers," beg pardon, Holy Hollers" from the effete precincts of Corvallis. If the three visitors are fair types of the "Holy Rollers" fanat icts, then Corvallis would be an excel lent place for playwrights to get mater ial for melo-lrama. There would be thrilling situations enough every hour to furnish a nucleus for Theodore Krem- er climaxes hv the score." Deafness Cannot Be Cured local applications aa they can no bv reach the deceased iwrtion of the ear. fhere is only one way to cure deafness, and that is bv constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus tachian Tule. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, deafnesa ia the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of tho mucous services.

Wood will bo sent to rlio benato again this week by the President. A representative of tho administratis said on Friday, assur ances had been given that the man would be confirmed inside of ten days. Tlio conference between Senator Hanna did not result aa was hoped by some of tho friends of Gen. Wood, in the with drawal of tho senator's opposition. Tho two talked over the matter Thursday spiritedly and candidly. Hanna said he was firmly confinced that tho general was not fitted for tho position to which it was suggested ho bo raised. Ho said, too, that Wood had purposely and knowingly injured and disgraced his friend, Rathbono, and that tho senator could not forglvo him. Hanna Is re ported to have told the Prehident that he was determined to make a dignifiod resistance until the last to the nomina tion, but that he did not feel a personal resentment toward those who were backing Wood. The President jtointed out to Senator Hanna that President McKinley, hig dearest friend, had promoted Gen. Wood repeatedly, and it was through President McKinley that Wood was raied to the rank of brigadier general, thus putting him in line for the present promotion. The conference had no other result than to thow that each man was standing by his friend, and that while each had the greatest admiration for the other and great resjct for the opinion of the other in most things, each would per sist in the course so far followed so far as Gen. Wood is concerned. It is regarded as settled that the nomi nation will have a favorable report from tho committee on military affairs. The testimony to be offered lefore that com mittee has very largely been given. Un less some unheard of evidence should come up to influence senators, there will ! not ue at the most more than two or three votes against confirmation in The committee. Senator Scott is generally believed to le fetteled in his conviction to v Jt airaiust the nomination. Senators Haw ley, Proctor, Foraker and Alter are known to lie as firmly in favor of con firmation. Quarles is believed to I. favorable, and Warren is regardl likely to vote for confirmation. Of the Demc;raU, Cockrell, Pettus and Black burn favor confirmation, while Bate is rsgarded as doubtful. The opinion that prevails in the com mittee is so pronounced for Wood that even the opposition senators tola- have no expectation of a change of Een timent or of an adverse report. If Senator Hanna should api-eal to his friends as a persona! matter to stand by him, the consequences are regarded as likely to lead to dee'dedly strained rela tions letween the President and the Ohio senator. No such step is expected. Myrtle Creek Mailings. Sam Knight and Grant Kelly have finished the job of painting the school house. Ed Weaver returned Monday from Idaho where he purchased SO.OOO K)unds of fruit. The editor of the Mail has leased part of a lot on Second street near Main and has erected an office thereon. The plant will be moved to its new home just as soon as possible. T. W. Hervey of Ruckled was in town Saturday. He said that he had been lathered with a large estray sheep around his place for some time, and he wishes the owner would take it away. I lie new tiro bell has been put in place and can be heard to the farthest limits of the town. Now, the next thing in order is to divide the city into two or moro fire wards and establish a special call for each ward. This ought to be done to facilitate locating, and getting to the fire when there is one. Tuesday morning when Homer Oat- man went to his place of business he found that some ono had sawed a hole through tho front door, opened it and took the back off of the slot machine and robbed it of about $7. There was about f'-4 moro in the machine which the robbers failed to get. It ia not known whether tho authorities havo anv clue to tho criminals or not. the sad news of Charlev Slv'a death waa phoned in lrom bouth .Myrtle Thursday morning. Death came at S o'clock in tho morning, and, altho it was rather expected, it brought a deep sadness to tho hearts of the parents and friends who had hoped that the young man might yot bo spared. Tho funeral waa held at tho Presbyterian church. Peoples Patty Movement. Tho National Committee of the Allied Peoples party met at Memphis last Fri day and issued a call for a meeting of the central committo at St Louis, Feb. 22, for the jnirposo of naming tho dato and placo for a national convention. Committeeman Van Fleet, of Cali fornia, iu working up a sentiment in favor of San Francisco for tho nationn.1 convention of 1008. Lack of adequat telegraphic facilities nlono prevented tho Pacific coast metropolis from enter ing tho raco this yoar. Van Fleet predicts, though, that by that time San Francieco will afford suit able accommodations, tho equal of any Kastorn city. Delegate Dayton, of Hhode Island, has a resolution, which is attracting great nttention, providing for u reduc tion in tho representation in national conventions. Bilious Colic Prevented.

Tho Mexican government is using its efforts to have a uniform scale of wages auopted by tho mining companies and manufactures of that country for the uiujnoyeu native laoorera. The govern ment baa advised tho larger mining com panies which oro operating in western Mexico that they must not pay higher wages to their miners than are paid in other parts of tho country. It ia stated that tho fact that higher wagea are paid in some of tho mining camps of the Htato of Sonora, articularly at Cananea, where tho great consolidated copper company is operating, than ia paid in mining camps in other parts of the coun try, has led to industrial dissatisfaction and that tho government ia seeking to quiet tho trouble by providing that a uniform scale of wagea shall bo paid throughout the country. Manv Ameri can miners employed in Mexico who re ceived higher wagea than tho Mexi cans have been discharged during the past few weeks. Drain Nonpareils. A new bridge across Billy creek near j Mr. Morningstar's was completed this; week. ' Miss Lily Lyeter passed through' Drain Monday on her way to Gardiner! to visit her father, who reccnsly arrived i from Canada, and her brothers, Iten E. and J. S. Lyster. Mrs. Oscar Applegate brought in a sample of some Golden Queen raspber ries gathered from the garden of Mrs. O. Olsen in Hayhurst. The flavor is as delicious as though ripened in the sum mer time and the branches were well laden with matured fruit. Verily Ore- 1 gon climate is unsurpassed. j e are p!eaed to note that Mrs. J. T. Miller received second prize in the oon twt recently offered by the Pacific Northwest for tho best write-up of the reason why one preferred his own lo cality a place of residence. Mrs. Miller w s ready writer and the pretty little Harhurct valley is certainly an in teresting subjwt. We hope to repro duce the aTlii it in the near future. I The Weyerl.aows, known throughout the weet s kintw of the lumber trade, I ! they have a grievance against the Pactlk Cout exporters, and threaten to j enter tan rrancisco, Portland and later other porta. They say they have not been given fair treatment by the combi nation and that they will withdraw and inaugurate service of their own. They will buy vessels and export regardless ' of prior arrangements with lumbermen. J It is supposed that .Mr. McCormkk, the tecretarr. is on his way to San Francis- i co and Portland to take the preliminary , step. The companv- have oyer t,000, i 000 worth of timber on the Coast and I will establish large mills aud do business ' indeedent of the combine. Tlie reception tendered by the Normal J Faculty to the citizens of Drain and vi-1 cinity last Friday afternoon and even- i ing waa largely attended and much ap-; predated. The program, which was taken mostly from the class work of the students, was admirably selected and well rendered. The orations by Miss Hoover and Mr. Cannon and the origi nal fairy story by Miss Mamie Hicka thier etch ehowed careful thought and an ability to practically apply knowledge received. The work on the boards in the various rooms certainly made a creditable showing, and the several in structors are to bo congratulated on their effective methods of importing in formation. Mrs. Estes kindly added much to the pleasure of the evening by favoring the guest with one lof her charming solos and graciously respond ed to the hearty encore she received. Other music, light refreshments, and social intercourse made an altogether delightful evening. Sitkum News. Chas. Archambeau made a business trip to Roseburg this week. Johnnie Nelson, who has been em ployed at tho Beaver Hill mines for the past two months, is in Sitkum this week, visiting old friends, preparatory to a trip to his old home in Idaho. Fred West made a trip to Sumner the latter part of last week, to repair tho Western Union Telegraph Co.'s line. S. E. Marsters, of Port Orford, was in Sitkum last week, enrouto to Cleveland, where he will spend a short time, visit ing his brother, L. A. Marsters. Harney Davis ia now employed as a stage driver between Roseburg and Cherry creek. Fine weather still prevaila in Sitkum, and, so far, the mail gets hero in good season. Sally de Bra. RECTOR OF ST.
