Appointment Made Last Friday to Take Effect Oct. 1st. The appointment of Charles W. Parks as jK6tmaBtcr at Roseburg to succeed W. A. Frater, was announced by a tele gram from Washington, D. C, last Fri day, the selestion leing received with general satisfaction in Roseburg and vi cinity, in which Mr. Parks has resided and has leen actively em?airel in busi ness for 'i years, being at the head of the well-known irrocerv firm of O. W. Parks A Co. M r. Parks was born in Kentland, In diana, September 23, 18C3, and with his father and mother came to Oregon in I SSI and located in Roseburg, where they have since resided. In 1883 Mr. Parks and his father embarkeJ in the grocery and bakerv business in this city, sometime later engaging exclusively in the grocery business, having by fair and courteous treatment and straightforward business methods built up a very lucra tive and supcesiful business In 1892 Mr. Parks was married to Miss Nellie Perry, of this city, a bright little daugh ter being the issue of this union. Mr. Parks has always been a loyal republi can, but has never been a candidate for office, preferring to work in the ranks for the success of the party. His many friends, therefore, bv tecuriug Ida ap pointment as postmaster, feel that it is only substantial recognition for faithful services rendered, and honors worthily and fittingly bestowed. Mr. Park is a quiet, unassuming gen tleuian, a thoroughly practical business man, upright, honest, and eminently well qualified for the position to which he has been appointed by President Roosevelt. He also enjoys the esteem and confidence of the entire community, ami las apiiointment is conceded u judicious and satisfactory. Simon Caro, an old and faithful republican war horse, was alto a candidate for the appoint ment, hut takes his failure to secure the coveted plum very philosophically. realizing that only one man can succeed in Mich cases. The Roseburg postoffice is now in the second class, the salary being 12000 per year, with fOOO additional for an assistant postmaster and $-500 for a clerk. Any additional help must be paid by the postmaster. It will perhaps be about October the first, the beginning of the new quarter, before Mr. Parks receives his commission and bondsmen and suc ceeds to the management of the Rose- bnrg postoffice. The Plaucdeales joins in congratulating Mr. Parka upon his appointment. The evidence and arguments have all been submitted in the contest case of G. W. Dimmick, et al., va F. A. Kribbs, et al., before the I". S. land office in this city as was "exclusively reported" in last ThursJav's Tlaindealer, and the matter now awaits decision. This case involves the ownership of the coal land near Kellogg where Messrs Uimmick, Abraham and Hildeburn have been de veloping a valuable coal mine for sever al months past. A great forest fire on Row River, eight miles east of Cottage Grove threatened the fine lumbering plant of the Dorena Lumber company with destruction late last week. A great deal of the com pany's fine timber was destroyed, a logging engine waa overtaken and ser iously damaged, and part of the railroad siding was burned. At two or three different times the employes and their families packed all of their household goods and prepared to flee for their lives from the mil). The fire waa finally got under control. W. A. Burr, the local music goodb dealer, left Saturday evening for San Francisco to purchase his fall stock of small instruments, such aa mandolins, banjos, violins, etc Pending bis return his present stock of those goods will be sold at slaughtered pricea jn order to make room for the new shipment. Some verv attractive prices have also been placed on his fine stock of pianos and organs, intending purcnasera win do well to hustle around and receive the benefit of these special prices which are not likelv to be duplicated again soon in this city. The theatrical season opened in this city on last Thursday evening with the production ol A Runaway Match," a mirth provoking comedy, interspersed with a dash of sparkling specialties, which kept the large audience in the best of humor throughout the evening. This comedy is another product of Mark Swan, tho author of "Brown's in Town" and promises to become equally aa pop ular. Another charming feature was the excellent music rendered by tho Roseburg orchestra which assumed management of the opera house on this auspicious occasion. If the opening evening is to te taicen aa an evidence ot the elliciency 01 tno now management I ... . "oseuurg theater goers are certainly aa- sured many pleasant evenings during the season, and tho orchestra a success ful business venture. Blacksmith Shop for Sale.
