Moore is a can didate for the office of treasurer 61 Douglas county, subject to the nomi nation of the Republican party at the County convention tra April 9, 1904 THE COMLNU PRIMARIES. The Plaixdealer during the past week has received nearly a score of letters enquiring about political af fairs in the county, and asking if so-and-so is a candidate? and, similar questions. The editor has also been asked a score of times who of the present corps of officials will be can didates for re-election to the offices they now fill? Of these the only candidates who have announced for re-election are George Staley for the office of assessor, and C. E. Roberts for surveyor. These gentlemen are now filling their first terms and have" made faithful and efficient officers, and are deserving of renomination and election. Outside of these two offices we absolutely know nothing. Two aspirants for office have en quired of the editor if so-and-so would be candidates for re-election? if they were not, then the enquirers would be candidates themselves. The Plaixdealeb attempted to find out, but failed -utterly, and thus it is that outside of the two gentlemen men tioned there is not a man in the county who has authorized the state ment that he is a candidate for any county office There is a great deal of complaint made against "the ring" and what it is supposed to be doing. So far, the editor has not seen the slightest trace of a ring, for it seems to us that for one time in the history of Douglas county every man is in the race for himself and the devil will catch the hindmost. Efforts are being made to form combinations, by several outside aspirants, with politicians in Roseburg, and thus form a ring to fight a supposed ring and to boost candidates into office who are afraid to come out boldly and announce be fore the public. There i3 one man who can settle the entire political situation, so far as candidates are . concerned in a minute, and the whole situation would be cleared, because if he is not a candidate for re-election, others who are looking to his action-would announce for hi3 office and some would let go of the bone to grasp at the shadow. Now, it is none of the Plaixdealee's business to advise any course, but it sees nothing but the pooling of delega tions and the control of the nomina tion for every office in the county, by reason of the present system. If a direct nomination or a primary election law was in force, every man -who wanted to be a candidate would have been forced to decide long ago and his merits pro and con would have been discussed before the public at largo and the people would have been enabled to vote intelligently. As the case now stands, nobody j knows who are candidates for the Various offices. The man who can ; control the 39 votes in Roseburg has ! no hard task to secure proxies or delegates to the iiumbor of forty four and then he has a majority in the county convention. What the Plaixdealer fears is: The candidates and aspirants aro so backward of positively announcing, that at , the last moment a pool will be formed and candidates nominated in a hurried, hoorah manner and then general discontent will be manifested over the county, and the greatest crop of kickers and tailmashers will be harvested ever known in tho his tory of Douglas county. If we had a direct primary law in force, there would be no room for a kicker or tail masher, for the cause for such beings would be removed. With direct pri mary nominating elections the pres ent unsatisfactory state of aiFairs could not exist. MORE SOOTHING SYRUP FOR THE BRAT. The Review like all democratic sheets when fairly exposed in bolster ing up corruption lies back and makes faces and calls hard names. Now we have no time nor inclination to go in to a war of words in which billings gate is the only argument, but we stand to the statement previously published, in six months according to the certificates of the County Clerk and approved by the County Judge and Commissioners, the county debt of Douglas county under the Demo cratic iPopulastic regime on March 31, 1S99, was $56,204.55, on Sept 30, 1S99 as certified to and approved in tho same manner the county debt was SS6.415.60 or an increase of $30,211.05. This statement is true because it is part! of the records of Douglas county as recorded on pages 105 and 111 of the official reports of the county. All the faces the Re view makes cannot dispute the above statement for it is the work of the party to which the Review belongs, and when such debts are contracted they have to be paid and the taxpay ers today are paying for the luxury of having a freak hermaphrodite ad ministration of countv affairs. The Plaixdealer could stand a straight Pop speculation in county affairs, as that would only admit to a two bit proposition or to a straight demo cratic steal because the blame could easily be fixed, but of all the political grafting combines that Demo-Pop aggregation of financiers are entitled to pick the full blooming roses from the bush. By the smoke of the holy council fires, thirty thousand two hundred and four dollars and sixty I cents of increased indebtedness in six months is a monument of financial fame and for the witness post of a straight graft it has nothing equal to it in Oregon. M. L. MOORE FOR TREASURER. In another column will be found the announcement ol AL u. Moore as a candidate for the office of treasurer of Douglas county subject to ratifica tion of his candidacy by the Repub lican convention; and we presume that the Republicans will want to know something about htm, and as far a3 the Plaixdealer can gather, he was born in Illinois over fifty years ago and went to Kansas leaving there in 1S75 for California where he re sided five years. In 18S0 he settled in Clackamas county and in 1894 he was the nominee of the Republican party for the office of County treas urer and received an overwhelming vote. In 1896 he was unanimously nominated for the office again but that was the year of the Demo-Pop landslide and with every other repub lican he went down before the torna do but was only aeieatsd by a very small margin as he was a very popu lar citizen and office holder. He moved to Douglas county in the sum mer of 1896 and is the father of L. B. Moore, station agent at Roseburg. In coming before the Republicans of Douglas county he does so as a straight Republican who has voted the ticket at every election and he does not give .fealty to any faction but asks the Republicans as a whole to consider hi3 application for their sup port. If nominated, he will make a very strong candidate for the office for he is exceedingly popular among the railroad fraternity and is in every way qualified to fill the office to which he aspires. NEWSPAPER HONESTY VS. DE CEPTION. Editou Plain-dealer: Tbo following editorial was printed in the Review of March 14: "Some alleged newspapers in this county are resorting to tho most des picable methods in an endeavor to de liberately deceivo their readers as to the real conditions existing hero 'at pres ent in regard to taxation and tho public debt. They arc publishing ilgures for one single semi-annual period without also giving the figures botli before and after that time, so tho voters can aeo tho general trend of public affairs and know just what tho present conditions really are. It is tho-duty of every pa per which claims to be an honest pur veyor of news to publish thceo facts in full, as was done by The Review in tho issue of March 3, 190L On that dale we published tbo sworn figure, as thoy appear on the county records of Douglas county, for each and every year since listfS. This was done without fear or favor, let the credit or blame fall where it may. If an ulleged newspaper at tempts to deliberately deceive its read urn in so important a mutter uh this it thus proclaims its dishonoity and will henceforth bo marked as unworthy of belief in anv of its utterances. Tbo people have no more uso for a dishonest newspaper than they have for a dinhon- est ollicial or individual. That tho tax payers ot Douglas county aro required to pay over $00,000 more of taxes this year than in the year 1900 and that the countv debt is now over $20,000 more than it was then, are undeniable matters of public record, and, disagreeable as those facts are, tho people have a right to know what are the actual existing conditions." The above article would lead one to -believe that the Review was an honest sheet and would not deceive its readers, would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but tho truth, but hero coines a statement that the Review could explain to its readers if it saw fit to do so, but it prefers to deceive them or leave them in the dark in tho matter: "The taxpayers of Douglas county are re quired to pay over $60,000 more of taxes this year than in the year 1900." Now, this is what an honest paper should say in connection with tho above statement: The state tax es are S1S.432 more this year than in 1900; the school taxes are $13, 050 more than in 1900 and the roa: taxes aro $16,6S5 this year, while there was no levy made in 1900, making a total of $4S,167. This amount tho legislature, both republi cans and democrats, compelled the county court to levy in excess of the levy of 1900. I learn from county officials that more than $12,000 of this years taxes will be paid upon tho county debt, which will fully ac count for the $60,000 that the Re view is so much concerned about The Review wants to create the im pression that Douglas countv is the only county in the state that has a high tax levy. The facts are that nearly every county in the state has to pay more taxes this year than formerly. Why is this so? Did not the democrats, as well as the repul- Truths That have enabled us to build up a large Prescription Business We dispense Pure Drugs. We believe Accuracy to be a positive necessity.

Did not the democratic governor sign all of these bills and did he not tax Douglas over $-12,000? Disagreeable as these facts are, will the Renew be honest enough to ex plain the truth to its readers and not try to keep them in the dark? Fair Play. The Factional Fight in Portland. The news of the factional fight be tween the Mitchell and Simon forces in Portland is to effect that in Mult nomah county tho Simonites have been beaten at tho rate of seven to one. War News. There has been no official war news of importance in the last ten days, but active hostilities in Corea or Manchuria is daily expected. There is no redeeming feature in the Multnomah fight; the honored, talented and protected widow swin dler -was set down on. Somebody told the PlainiEALER that the democratic animulo is again braying. Socialist County Convention. Notice is hereby given that there will bo held in the county courthouse, in tho city of Roseburg, on Saturday, tho 23d day of April, 1004, beginning at tbo hour of 10 o'clock in tbo morning a mass convention of the socialist party, for tho purpose of placing in nomination candi dates for tho various county officers, to be voted for at tbo general election in June, 1904. All socialists are requested to attend. . Wo would especially urge those from a distance, to mako nn effort to havo their precincts represented. Done by order of tbo Co Commitlo, R.

A special session of tho city council was held in the council chamber at tho ity hall last Monday evening for tho purpose of hearing reports of two special committees. Mayor Hoover being ab sent F. G. Micelli occupied the chair. Tho committee to whom was referred the matter of the bill of the Roseburg Water & Light Company, for lights fur nished for two years ending March 1, 1004, and which the city was enjoined from paying in separate amounts, as tho water bills weru paid each month, on account of a suit brought against tho city by 11. Brockway, a taxpayor, on ac count that indebtedness in excess of the amount allowed by the city charter had been contracted is now settled iml tho company presents its bill, not under the contract over which the law suit was instituted, but "for the reasonable value of service) - render ed." Tho bill callB for tho samo amount as secified in the contract $125 per month, with directions made for times that certain lights, did not burn. The committee askod for further time in which to report, which was granted. llio committee appointed to reccivo bids for 760 feet of new fire hose for tho Fire Department, with power to act, re ported that out of several bids receivod they had accepted the one of A. G. Long of Portland, who agrees to furnish the hose at 90 cents per foot. There' wero several other bids sum lower and some of the same price, but tho others failed to furnish samples of their hose which the advertisements for bids called for and wero thcrefote rejected so it is re ported. The recorder was ordered to pureha?e tho hose from A. G. Long, with spannus nozzle and connecting pipe Committee appointed to confer with tho Umpqua Water & Light Co , in re gard to furnishing tho city -villi water and lights, returned a written proposi tion from the company to enter into contract with the city. The company projwses to furnish lights for ? 150 per month, and water for f."0 per month. They agreo to furnish one more arc light and three more in crescent lights. Thev alto agreo to flush the skewers once a month during the (tuinmer. The protiosition was laid ou the table. G. G. Ke-sarteo appeared, asking for tins t-titablishuiont of a grade on Flint street.

D., assist ed by the pastor, N. J. Harbit. The pastor believes that the people of Edenbower are deserving of tbo best talent that can bo obtained, and has .se cured Rev. Gamble with that view. At the close of the special meetings, Rev. Gamble will give five or six of his noted lectures on "The Christian Sabbath." Wo invite any and all, to atlond these services and are confident tliat tho peo ple will b& well paid if they will attend all of thoce services. The religions and secular press, to gether with tho leading Jewish Rabbies of America, claim for Rev. Gamblo the host authority that has developed in the last 100 years on the Christian Sabbath. Those lectures will be given at tbo close of special meetings and Will bo an nounced later. N. J. 1 1 audit. Sale of Wire and Children. When John Outlaw, of Currituck, N. C, became tired of his wifo and two children, several weeks ago, 'he sold the trio, together with all his love and af fection for them, to his brother, Jerome Outlaw, for two fishing nets. Tho sale was reported to tho polico and warrants were sworn out. It developed that John Outlaw did not think there was any thing wrong in the affiiirr Neither did Mrs. Outlaw nor Jerome Outlaw. When John Outlaw bet amo aware that there was a possibility of the transaction be ing annulled by court, ho gathered up his fishing nets mid decamped. Jerome and Mrs. Outlaw wero found guilty of illegal cohabitation, but as the children nio dependent on the pair for support, no penalty was inllicled. Poultry Notes. March is hero mid you should begin to think of getting out a few early birds. Seo that all nests aro in good order, so when your good old hen is ready to set, j on will be ready to fiot her j that is, if you aro not far enough advanced to have an incubator. A. good way to settle tbe disputes w ith your neighbors over your turkeys is to mark each one somo night with any good mako of leg bands. Do not liatch your young turkeys out too early, as you will find you will havo better luck later. Turkeys aro quite a good lot of tronblo to raise: but romomber, there is a dol lar or two in it foryou next Thanksgiving Day. The Poultry News sayB that tho United States Agricultural Department has closely and scientifically examined tho question whether tbo malo bird ia needed for the production of eggs, and the conculsion arrived at was that the avorago laying of tho hens is greater if they are kept alone. It has also been proven again and again in this country that males are not necessary if eggs are the only object of the business. Don't let the lice bother your hen that is setting in the old shed yonder. "A stitch in time saves ninol" Very true: and the same thing is truo in the poultry business. "Kill the lice in time and it will save an increase of a milFon." A pound of chicken may not boas cheaply produced aa a pound of beef, but the price of a pound of chickon will average twice as high as a pound of beef. The chicken business is just as large as tho beef business. In France, wbero poultry is raised to perfection, chicken raising is equal to all other branches of stock raising combined. It is a very good plan to get some good brand of poultry food and feed your young ones on during the summer mouths. All should have the 'brooding coops in good trim when hens come off with Uhcir little ones. Whitewash them inside and out. It will make them smell clean and sweet, and they don't look bad setting in the. poultry yard. Get your pen ready to raise a few ducks this summ-sr. 1 hey will mako a nice feather bed for you and are not much work if cared for in the right way, There can lw no doubt that turkeys will bring a high price the coming year. The scarcity of breeding stock makes this outcome practically certain. With a favorable season, of course large flocks may bo raised, but not enough to meet tho general demand. Let us lay our plans accordingly and reap tho roward which is apt to follow the recognition of opportunity. Poultry News. yon t neglect cleaning luoso coops once a week. Tbe littlo ones will thank you for your kindness and grow much more rapidly. You cannot have everything in one fowl. Examples of good, gcneral-pur iose fowls are the Plymouth Rock and Wyandotte. They are equal to the Shorthorn in cattle. They are good for meat production and pretty good for ecg producers can be found on the one hand and more prolific laying specialists on the other, but none are better as gen eral-purpose fowls. The lvoghorna may mature in eir months, Hit with the larger breeds a fowl is not mature if under one year of age; and it is a Fettled conclusion that neither animals nor poultry should be tiK-d for breeding until the system has had time to develop and make complete growth. Pullets sometimes begin to lay before they are fully matured; but tn such casvs their eggs should not Ie u?d for hatching purposes. The life of ?girs from pullets that have not completed their growth is sure to injure the flock if tho practice is continued for several yeara. Farm and Fireside. An interesting fight is now in prog' ress between tbe officials of the geologi cal survey, who are now empowered to enforce the irrigation act, and senators and representatives who believe that the irrigation works in tho West should be placed under a separate bureau in charge ofa supervising inspector Sen ator Hansbrough, early in the session, introduced a bill creating such a bureau and authorizing the President to appoint a supervising engineer at a salary of (10,000 a year. The senator calls at tention to tho importance of the irriga tion work as an argument in support of his bill. He said that he had no desire to antagonize the survey. Ilia purpose is to secure the appointment of an offr ccr whoso solo duty it shall be to super vise the construction of irrigation works, Proper Treatment of Pscuh-obU. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper reme dies at hand. A physician should al ways bo called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamber lain's Cough Remedy tho threatened at tack of pneumonia may bo warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in tho treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr W. J. Smith, of Ban dors, Ala., who is also a druggist, say's of it: "I havo been selling.

Thoburn of the Okla homa board of agriculture gives warn ing to the orchardists of Oklahoma re garding the probable Tate frost, a warn- i ing that is just as beneficial to the same clatsof citizens in other states. Although as a rule the peach trees in Oklahoma do not bloom until late in Mtrch, yet already tho buds are ready to burst eo warm has been the weather for the past ten days. Sunday after noon tho thermometer showed eighty two degrees, and duiing the entire win ter season tho coldest weather was eight degrees above rero. The peach trees will be In full bloom by the end of the present week, and plum ami other fruit trees will follow closely. Mr. Thoburn says that every nun with an orchard must have bis spraying pump ready to defeat the ravages of a late frost: with the liberal use of this pump, any morning before the sun comes np, the trees may Imj washed and the fruit saved. The water rids tbe trees and blooms of the frost and eliminates any danger to the fruit from the frort. Itegarding tbe use of water. Secretary Thoburn says that jiersons living in the city may use their lawn hose on the trees with a like result, and that garden plants beans, corn, tomatne?, etc may be easily saved in the same man ner. Mr. Thoburn quotes one illustration: A friend of his had a half acre of si raw berries in full bloom ; there was a late May frost, which would have completely killed the strawberries for that year; the farmer aromj before day lisiht, and with the aid of his son?, turned the wat er from two windmilU in to the straw berry patch ; there were not 100 blinis that could be seen above the flood of water, but that farmer was the only man in the county to pick berries from his own patch that season.
