Congressman Binger Hermann at tended the good roads meeting and delivered an address at the state fair grounds last Friday evening on the sub ject of good roads, in which he assert ed that this great movement is fast be coming one of national importance. He said while it is a question especially local in its application, yet the time is coming, indeed has come, when the solution will not be solved alone by precinct whims or by the result of state legislation, but by the Congress of the United States. The Congressman proposed riatly that the government should expend ; the surplus of its revenues on good ; roads. In no other way. Mr. Her- j mann said, could the revenues be ex- pended so as to benefit as large a proportion of the general public, and in no other way would the benefits of the expenditures be as great as in the building of good roads. He took for his text the last message of Thomas Jefferson to Congress urging the establishment of good roads as wide as the confines of the country refrain from bagging more thin the and as thorough as the means at hand limit of 5u birds in a single day es and ingenuity could devise. He j pecially of swan, championed the good roads movement , and pledged himself to its support in Washington gossip has it that Mr. and out of season, with the hope that i ,avis tne Democratic candidate for scientifically constructed highways vice-president .will not be allowed to would soon appear everywhere which take the stump, in order that the would help materially in the further faiiure of his mental powers through and more rapid development of the age shall not be brought prominently country.

It has been resolved to put forth a general united effort throughout Southern Oregon to secure the loca tion of the proposed new cavalry post at some favorable and convenient point in Southern Oregon, tie exact location to be determined by the military board. As the whole of Southern Oregon would be benefited by securing the location of this post at either Roseburg, Grants Pass, Med ford, Jacksonville or Ashland, it is proposed that the citizens of these towns and the counties in which they are located, put forth a vigorous and united effort to secure thep!'.: n, from which not only the successful town, but the entire district will be benefited in various ways, it is urged that Douglas county send a strong delega tion to Grants Pass Friday on which day the great Southern Oregon meet ing of the Oregon Development League and its auxiliaries will be held and at which meeting, it is stated, strong resolutions will be passed, urging the location of the proposed military post at some convenient point in Southern Oregon. Douglas county will favor this action and will no doubt send a large delegation to the meeting to participate in its pro ceeding. A fare of $2.50 for the round trip from Roseburg will be granted providing a delegation of 40 or more can be organize ! to go. Roseburg should be able to supply al most that number of enthusiasti energetic and public spirited dele gates. Ho, for Grants Pass! A Seattle judge has handed down a decision which virtually says that a drug store has the right to engage in the sale of beer to the same extent as a saloon and they cannot be prosecut ed for not having a city liquor license. I'nder the ruling if the druggist has a state license all he has to do is to register the sale of a bottle of beer as for medicinal purposes ami he is not guilty of an olfense. This is a hint for our druggists after the local optionists have closed up the saloons. Put in an extra bookkeeper to keep tally and sell all you please. Oor vallis Gazette. This vear. vPith the return to "safety and sanity." the Democratic managers have been counting on a , lapse to ."normal political conditions" joflSSS and 1S;(J. The vote given in Maine on Monday deals a crushing blow to such pipe-dreaming fancies, as clearly as Vermont's vote that the 'conditions of lN.tli are distant memories. Maine's vote only makes more certain the decisive triumph of the Republican National ticket. There was no slump. The American farmer will remem ber on the 8th of November that it was the republican party which in augurated and developed and perfect ed the present rural free delivery system, after a democratic adminis tration had turned it down and re fused, even to test it. Kvery time that a rural free delivery carrier puts a letter or a paper in a farmer's let ter box he is a messager of republi canism and progressiveness. Telephone lines are constantly be ing extended in the state, and it should not be long before one farmer will know what all the others in the neighborhood are doing, and what they intend or do not intend to do in the future. The farmer's wives will also know a few things that are go ing on in the rural districts. The late mimic warfare in Califor- nia anj at prf Run is a reminder that tne S(,ijier in a sham fettle has the advantage of not knowing when he is jeaj untji 0fficiallv informed. That i K about the onlv kind of warfare we care to engage in nowadays. The open season for ducks, geese and swan began last Thursday, to be in force till January 1st. We would particularly warn the local sports lo return from the Bay City, instead the Spanking promised them. of Geographic surveying parties are at work in the Rogue River range, one being twenty miles southeast of Glen dale and another out toward the coast. Signals are flahed between them nightly. A dry summer has cost Oregon tens of thousands of dollars. In ad dition, a session of the Oregon legis lature is billed for next winter. Troubles never do come singly. The sun of prosperity is shining brightly upon Myrtle Creek, may its rays never dim, says the Mail. Real ly, has the smoke cleared away down there, brother? Roseburg should surely send a dele gation of her most enterprising and influential citizens to the big In dustrial meeting at Grants Pass Fri day. Senators Fairbanks and Dolliver will speak in Portland, Saturday, Oc tober 1st. This will be the greatest political event of the campaign. California is buying Oregon wheat in large quantities. It will no doubt be manufactured into "Superfine Sac ramento Valley Flour," Tornado, Tex., has been wiped out by what it was named after. When rebuilt, perhaps it will name Calmville. itself As Maine and Vermont Pennsylvania and Iowa. go, so go Ho, for Grants Pass Friday. A SENSATIONAL MURDER A Bride or One Day Killed by a Jealous Lover Who Suicides. HEAD, Wash., Sept. 16. A visit to the scene of the awful tragedy on Green Hlutt Prairie yesterday shows that Mrs. Henry Hoft (whose life was blotted out by J. L Hoffman, the man who charges that she nad intimate relations with him for two years and then rejected him), shows that the woman and her cast off lover tramped over nearly ten acres in their fearful life and death battle. Mrs. Hoft's arm is scorched, and the bullet that took her life passed from her left ear through her right jaw. showing that she was in a suppliant position before her assailant when he shot her. Hoffman shot himself in the mouth. Mrs. Hoft was found missing when her husband returned from work at noon. They had been married, as mm stated only the day before. She had started across the prairie for some reason or other and Hoffman shot her on a ten acre lot in the cor ner of the farm. Whether he forced, enticed or met her there by chance will never be known. Worried by her failure to come back. Mr. Hoft traced her to this lot. Here he found her lying face downward in a pool of blood with Hoffman lying dead across her feet. Hoffman left a letter, saying he and Mrs. Hoft had lived as man and wife for two years, and that for her to desert him when he was sick and marry a man for a home was more than he could stand. Hoffman and the girl was formerly engaged. I.ast Sunday they attended church in Spokane together, and after the service promised to marry her and reform, Wednesday she married Hoft The tragedy has created the most intense excitement here. Hoffman for years had been a memtar of the Woodmen in Pendleton, Or. In Ntmonum. The death messenger made his pearance in this city on Wednesday, moving from the sphere of earthly bore, Henrv Wiley, aged 83, one of ap- re-la-the most esteemed pioneers of this valley ; a man whom every one honored, whoee friends were limited only by the num ber of his acquaintances. IVcedent was born in Ohio in 1821, moving thence to Oregon in 1852. Five rears later he came to Myrtle Creek, where he has lived continuously since, wielding much influence in shaping the destinies of his adopted home, lie was a consistent and zealous member of the Methodist Church South from boyhood and died Ira in the faith of a blissful hereafter. His wife passed to the other shore three year ago, the only remain ing members of the family beiug Mrs Chas. Brown, of North Myrtle Cre-k, Mrs. Thos. Smith, of this city, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Geo. Wodarft, also of this city. "I'ncle" Wiley was the last except one of the pioneers of this section. Now that life's fitful fever has ended, his rest be immortal. Interment place Thursday morning, a large course of sorrowing friends being ent at the last sad rites.
