A LARGE LOT OF SPRAY MATERIAL At Marsters' Drug Store S A CAR LOAD OF ULPHU Of Superior Quality The month of December rounded out tlie first year of the work of tho Oregon information Bureau and this report will aim to show what has beon accomplish ed. The preliminary Htepe, organixation, securing subscriptions, leasing room and purchase o( furnituro was largely accom plished beforo the present attaches of tho Bureau were- placed in charge of the detail work. The Board of Directors and Executive Board have shapod and ordered tho pro ceeding of tho Bureau. Ninty-eight subscribers havo pledged themselves in the total amount of $1G, 000.00 for tho prosecution of tho work of the Bureau, which has for its object tho development and settlement of Oregon. Various organizations throughout the Stato have been formed, which co-oper-ato with our Bureau in nceisting homo seeKcrs and thoso seeking investment to locate with us. Wo have an exhibit of the products of tho Stato gathced from various counties from one end of the State to the other, which enables visit ors to determine for themselves what Oregon can do in tho Agricultural, Hor ticultural, Mineral, Lumber and Manu facturing industries. Wo havo gathered desctiptive literature and statistical in formation from nearly all the counties in the State so that we are enabled to tell what sections of the State are adapt ed to the different, pursuits and also to give the price of lands in the various counties. We have received 37S letters. We have written S61 letters ; 3104 pieces of literature havo been mailed and 17, 96S pieces otherwise distributed; 4910 visitors havo registered at the Buroau and have been furnished information re garding the various products of the State. The press of the Statenavo- been very friendly to us and hate assisted in num erous ways, by advertising tlie Bureau and its objects. Thirty-six papers havo placed us on their free list and our own city papers have always been ready to give us favorable notice. We have been enabled to make num erous trips over the several transporta tion lines entering here, to gather in formation and exhibits, by the courtesy of the several officials who appreciate tho importance and value of the work being done by tho Bureau, and spea in tho highest terms of ita accomplish- 1 meats. i Visitors exnress eornrise at tho I wonderful productions of Oregon, and ! many false impressions have been cor rected as to our climatic and other con ditions. The exponse has Ix-en kept at a mini mum, a detailed statement of the ez- i penditurea for tho year is hurewith sub - mitted. By comparison wUi similar organiza tions, we feel satisfied in stating that for the amount of money thus far expended, we have accomplished results that will bear the closest scrutiny. Owinc to the demand for exhibits lor other attractions, we have been some what handicapped in securing exhibits that were promised us, but as they are all for the same object, the advertising of Oregon, we have made greater efforts and scoured others in their place. Under advice, the Board of Trade And tho Promotion Committee of California, at San Francisco, have been visited Both of thceo institutions are maintain od by subscriptions and are doing a great work for California. To carry on our Bureau on lines similar to thoso of our sister States, Promotion Committee, would necessarily mean a larger expendi ture of money for advertising and enter tainment, as the large bulk of this work is regulated to that committee for hand ling. WbHe a number of persons have re ported as locating in the State, tho act ual number is very difficult to determine, bnt wo are confident the seed sown has already begun to manifest itsoli and we predict the future harvest will bo very large. Wo have a record of 101 individ uals who acknowledge obtaining in formation through this Bureau that has enabled them to locate satisfactorily in the Stato. The largest investment noted by any one individual is f 20,000 00. Averaging the balance torepresent f 1 ,000 each to the State, tho money already expended proves a wise investment and the future returns are beyond compute.

JOHNSON, I HAVE EASTERN AND CAN CUSTOMERS SELL OFPICE IN MARKS BLOCK, ROSEBURG, OR. there must soon bo a great war iMicauea the opening years of every century havo always bcon thus marked. Of course, if the latter wore true it would form no sufficient reason for a war at this time. A century is not a natural division of time, as is a day, a season or a yoar, but is entirely artificial, and thoro is no more reason why war should occur at tho beginning than at tho middle or tho end of it. However, ne a matter of fact, the statement is not truo, os everyone at all acquainted with history should know. Tho nineteenth conturv began with the establishment of moro general pcaco than the world had known for many years; and, if a couple of years later war broke out, it was only the ronowal of the wars that had marked the closing 3-earaofthe preceding cntury. The eighteenth century began with wars, but they were merely tho continuation of conflicts begun in the seventeenth. JTho early years of tho teventconth wore marked with moro peace making than war making. The wars at thd opening of the sixteenth century wero prolonga tions of those In tho fifteenth, and were, at most, petty affairs. Thoso at tho opening of the fifteenth wero left over from the fourteenth. There were no im portant wars in tho first years of the fourteenth i-entury, save thoso of Con stantinople and between England and Scotland, both legacies from the thir teenth. So great war occurred in the first decade of tho thirteenth century or of the twelfth. At the opening of the eleventh Mahmud of Ghazni invaded India. The tenth was marked with no new war, nor was the ninth. The eighth was ten years old when the Saracens invaded Spain. The beginning of tho seventh was peaceful. The first years of the sixth and fifth saw Rome involved in war, but war was then tho habitual state of Rome. The fourth and third bec.au in comparative peace. The sec ond saw no new war, but rather the ending of the old struggle in Dacia, and the fierce conflicts of the early years of the first century of our era were merely the continuation of thoso begun a dozen years before. In all thoso last ninoteen centuries, indeed, not moro that two are to be charged with having opened with new ami important wars. Of the centuries before oarera, the first began in peace, tlie second with nothing bat the second Macedonian War, the third with the third Samnite Wai ; the fourth with no groat struggle ; tlie fifth with the burning of Sanlis and the battle of Lake Regillos, continuations of wars be gun long before; tho sixth with Xebu chadneuar's conquest of Jerusalem, and in the earlier centum?, so far a; chro nology informs ue, tberu were no initial ware" of magnitude. The current superstition, then, is in a noteworthy decree contrary to the facte. Inetead of being invariably or evaa gen- orallv marked with tite oatbraakincs of Oakland Owl Hoots.

A correspondent saya a few Yoncalla boys meet at a certain place, play cards, smoke cigarettes and make themselves a genoral nuisance.
