EXHIBITED AT DRAIN CORTELYOU AND BAKER EXCHANGE BOQUETS MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1904. LANE'S ANNEXATION SCHEME The Commercial Gab of Cottage Grove is active in an effort to have that part of the Bohemia mining district that is located in Douglas county annexed to Lane for the convenience of the miners who are compelled to go to Roseburg to file their mining locations and proofs of la bor. The distance is so great that it takes extra time and causes added expense that would be eliminated if the territory were added to Lane and they could come to Eu gene. Petitions for annexation are in circulation in Eu gene and are being freely signed. The matter will come before the legislature and will be opposed by Douglas county. Eugene Register. When the good wagon road up the North Umpqua river, which at present terminates at a point a few miles south west of the Bohemia mines, is completed, which it will be at no distant date, Roseburg will be a more convenient and nearer county seat point for the Bohemia miners than is Eugene at the present time. Simply from the fact that Douglas county laid down her hands and quietly submitted to Lane county gobbling up a six mile strip of the Douglas coast territory two years ago, our northern neighbor has developed greater ambitions and higher asperations in the land grabbing business, and has become greedy for all of the tax in come and other remuneration from the valuable natural resources which are being developed on her borders. If successful in annexing the Bohemia mining distnct, wt- presume Lane's next move will be to annex that por tion of the Blue river mines located in Linn county and the fine timber belt on the south slope of the Calapooia and the North Umpqua mountains in Douglas county. It is time a halt was called for all time in lane county's land grabbing schemes. NO GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION THIS SESSION. Senator Latimer, of South Carolina, the father of the good roads movement in Congress, reluctantly admits that all hope for any legislation along that line this session must be abandoned. The slogan of "economy" that has been sent out by the leaders of both houses has sounded the death-knell of special legislation requiring great sums of money to render it effective. The senator's idea i embodied in a bill favorably reported last session by the committee on agriculture and now on the Senate calen dar. It provides for the creation of a bureau of high ways in the department of agriculture, to be composed of three members, the duty of which will be to investigate orood road building, and carrying an appropriation of $2,400,000. The movement, which, up to the last session, had been treated rather iocularly. gained standing through the favorable report of the committee on agriculture, coo sidered one of the most important in the Senate. Senator Latimer, in the hope that agitation will not harm this measure, will endeavor to have a number of public hearings on it, with a view to pushing the legisla tion in the next Congress. A report says Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock wil be retained tin othce a while longer in order to assist in the prosecution of land thieves. The agony of this man must be something terrible when he thinks of the way "Uncle Sam" is being robbed. He did not want to bor row $400 with which to secure 160 acres of land under the timber and stone act; insisted upon the homesteader complying with every requirement of law and insulted the people of Oregon by sending "bluffers" like C. A. M Schlierhoiz to the state as special agents. This para graph does not allude to Messrs Wilson or Jones. They are gentlemen. A few months ago several townships the Koseburg distnct were tied up in forest reserves. Now Mr. Hitchcock officially announces in the Roseburg Plaindealer that these lands are restored to settlement and entry. Oakland Owl. Mat Game W arden J. v . Baker makes a good many practical recommendations and suggestions in his annual report. He would limit a days bag of ducks to 20 in stead of 50, but does not limit the number of people that may be killed during the open season by the fool hunter who "mistook him for a deer." The very fact that our sister county, Loos, is prepar ing to make a big fine exhibit at the fair is already at tracting many people's attention to that exceedingly re sourceful, bat slightly developed region. Those who contend that women have no business ability will find an exception in the case of Mrs. Chad wick, who has developed all the shrewdness of a Wall street magnate. Theodore Tharston Geer is still of the private opinio that Senator Mitchell should have left his post of duty at Washington at a most inopportune time, and crossed the continent twice to give a little immaterial testimony in response to that subpoena in the land fraud case and Mr. Geer continues to express this private opinion public ly through the columns of his paper, the Salem Statesman. We wonder why? Of course his senatorial aspirations do not prompt him to keep on harping alone and unsupport ed on this small matter. But now that Senator Mitchell has decided to return in response to this subpoena. Theo dore Thurston will probably regret Jthat he expressed so many private opinions. (Special to the Plain lo t'or.) Kiiiimk I'i.aisdk m.kr There ate a niiin her of citizens of llr.iin and vicinity, win take (treat interest in poultry, nnl take Orach lrilc ill raining the he.sl lr.olw of poultry. A person who Iish a good pen of chickens never tins of totting hit- friend! know it. In furtherance of this feeling a num ber of those raising fancy poultry at ami about Drain arranged for an impromptu Poultry Snow on last Saturday. In the early morning, the music of the crowini; of the cockerels commenced as tnev were nrouglit to lown lo le tlaced on exhibition. There were no prizes, no judges but he public, no blue ribbons or other evi- loncesof superiority of strain, only the approval and .umiiieiulation of a We ighted public. The following is a list of the entries : One pen of 2 bens of S.C.White Wyandotte, and one Hn of S C. Buff Plymouth Rocks, consisting of a cock erel and hens, by S. Harlan. One pen consisting ol cockerel and : hens, K. C Khode Island Keds, and tun- pen consisting of a cockerel and 4 heuf, last spring chicks of K. C. Khode Island Reds bv ti M. Bassett. Mrs. L. If. Perkins entered a pen trio of S. C. Barred Plymouth Rocks, also a pen consisting of a cockerel and 2 hens of same of last spring chicks. The largest selection was entered by I.ee Barker, which consisted of 5 ens containing 7 cockerels and K hens of S C. Buff leghorns. One of the cockerels was the winner of the 3rd prize at the state fair last fall. W. ft. Kent entered a trio of White Langshangs, and John Lynch presented 2 pens of game strain, one being of the Blaik Devils and one of Allen Round beads, and last and least of all was a pen of little Bantams, but your corres pondetit could not find out who entered them. This exhibition was surely a most creditable one and reflects much credii npon those w ho are doing so much ta raise good blooded chickens. Many ol the hens and pullets are laying right long and are a source of great revenur to the owners. A charge of onlv one lollar is made for a setting of the eggs. and that is much cheaper than to semi east for them and get no letter blooded chickens. Wahiiisot in, Dec. 17 National Chairman Cortelyou and State Chair man Baker of Oregon hail a meeting to day at which they vied with each other in the size of the !xp:icts which they exchanged. Baker told Cortelyou he was the greatest national chairman on record, and Cortelyou told Baker that his masterly management of Oregon politics was the most notable feature of the recent campaign. He invited Baker to attend the inauguration on March 4, when the national committee me toilers will watch the inaugural parade from a stand to be erected directly opposite the W bite House. SE FARMERS' NEEDS Tells Story With Trembling The movement inaugurated by a committee of West Roseburg good roads advocates seekit g the co-operation of the various road districts of Douglas County in im pressing upon the County Court the urgent demand and great necessity for the purchase of a County rock crusht r and roller to be employed in County road construction, is a very worthy one, and a most practical primary step to ward the building of better and more permaent roads in this County. Lane, Marion and many other Oregon Court ties have found such an investment to give the most satisfactory returns and a wonderful impetus to good road building. The Portland Journal's latest fake is th3t EL W. Scott, of the Oregonian, is a candidate for a cabinet position or minister to Japan, Switzerland or New Mexico. .No one believes the statement, coming from such a source, but all agree that Mr. Scott would fill either of the positions mentioned most acceptably . It is the unexpected that happens. No one foresaw that the Russian fleet at Port Arthur would be helplessly knocked to pieces by shots from one of the neighboring hills. While the present administration shall remain in power there will be no crippling of the armv and navy. Tnis does not mean war, but rather the prevention of war. Hon. H. B.

To the Br Louis K. Thayer. us little tellers Sunday 'a mignty different From all the other days that's in week, 'Cause you've kind o' got to creep around on tiptoe And you've sort o' got to whisper when yon apeak; If you don't your pa or ma is sure to cold you And call you bad and sacrilgions boys For Sunday days were made for thought and worship, But that wasn't made for romping and for noise. And to think that Chritmaa day's to come on Sunday ! Why, somehow, seems it hadn't orter be, 'Cause where'a the" good when yon can't laugh and holler? Say, it's pretty hard on little chaps like me. And if a feller jae forgets the qniet, And babbles out a little, who's to blame? It's pretty hard when Christmas comes on Sunday, For I know the day will never seem the same. I know jes' bow 'twill be when, in the morning, I find my stocking filled brimful of toys. 1 seem to hear my father say, "Well, Johnny, Yon may look at them, but don't make aw noise." And ma, perhaps, will bring me out a trumpet And say, "Well, Johnny, it is Sunday now, you know." Say, it's pretty bard a waiting for to morrow. What good's a trumpet that you das sen't blow? I wish they'd print the calendars all over And make our Christmas come some other day, Jes' so we little chaps can have some freedom And romp and shoot and whistle at oar play. There's lot of things that ain't jes' as they should be And 'cause they ain't it seems to me a shame. It's pretty bard when Christmas comes , on Sunday, For I know the day will never seem the same. blow it's I tell you what, the day will jes over, And we won't hardly know that been here. Christmas eve will be about the onlv Christmas That we'll have a chance to know this year. Another thing that makes the whole thing harder Is that we have a Sunday every week, While we have to go and have onr only Christmas When we almost have to whisper as we speak. Now, if a little fellow don't remember And laughs out load and hollers jes' a bit, And if his feet get running as they oughtn't, Say, who should scold and threaten him for it? Jes' make believe that you are young and little Say, have you got the heart for words of blame? It's pretty hard when Christmas comes on Sunday, For I know the day will never seem the same. Musings.

If the grand jury remains in session much longer some of us will be taking desperate chances by remaining in tewn says the Telegram. Dave Shambrook Is thinking of tak ing the agency for a new belt, but one for which much merit is claimed. He has presented one to Jas. Newland on trial, the result to determine whether or not Shambrook will accept the agency. At a school examination the teacher told a little girl to write a sentence con taining the expre sion, "the bitter end." A moment later this met the teacher's gaze: "A big dog chased my kitty and as she went under the porch he bit her end," which was more truthful than sentimental. A new game has cropped out. It is called "Tickle the Editor," and is as follows : Tske a sheet of ordinary writ ing paper, fold it nicely, enclose a bank note sufficiently large to pay all ar rears and one year in advance and hand tt to the editor. Keep an eye on him and if a smile adorns the face, the trick works fine. Now is the time to play the joke. It heats "flinch," "pit" or "bun.e'' all hollow. The Oakland Owl says, Jim Crouch has a white digger squirrel, captured alive by Fred Sutherlin. The little freak of natnre is very docile and makes a fine pet for the genial and handsome old Oakland batchelor. Jim has also two fine cats a female wild cat and a common cat of masculine gender. Some day be hopes to have all kinds of cats. If so, these hybrids will come a trifle high, $26 each. Order early and avoi I the rush. Oregon Good Roads' Convention The animal MSJtissj "f the Oregon Good Koads Association as held in Sa lem last week, beginning IVc. 13th ami closing Dec. 14th. There was a large attendance of representative citizens from different sections of the state who exhibited considerable interest in the movement for which the organization is an advocate. The tirst day's session opened with Hon, John H. Scott, president of the Association in the chair. (Mr. Scott is county judge of V'arion county , Frank W. Waters, mayor of Salem, was introduced and welcomed the delegates on the part ol the city. Mayor Wateis is an enthusiastic advocate of better highways and gave the assemblage a verv good talk. President Hill then de livered his annual address and reviewed the ear's work in the good roads mat ter. The next speaker was Gov, flap. M. Chamberlain, of Oregon. He said this state should have the beet roads in the I'nited States. He did not advocate the use of convicts in making good roads as there would tie too great expense at tached to this plan, extra guards being necessary in the day time and steel cag es at night.

The first wit ness in the Smoot inquiry Joday was Mrs. Ai nie E. Elliott, of 1'rice, Utah. She is an elderU lady, who went from Denmaik to Utah in 1H72 and left the Mormon church in 19 9. She wai asked concerning the obligations taken in the temple, and was requested to repeat as much of the ceremonies as she could remember. In a voice shaken with emotion, Mrs Klliot said that the obligations were so indelicate she could not lear to repeat them. Chairman Burrows told her to take her own time and not be em barrassed. The witness said the first oath administrated to those who par ticipated was that if they did not want to go any further and take the oaths they should turn back and go out. By slow degrees Mrs. Klliott repeated the oaths of vengeance ami the various penalties ascribed for revealing any part of the ceremonies. During her testi mony concerning the penalties of mutila tion of the body the witness trembled continually, and appeared to proceed with difficulty. After saying that eacl persou taking the endowments agreed 'o have his or her throat cut, Mrs Elliott said it would be impossible for her to go any further. "At that time I considered it all so sacred I thought I would put it aaa. and not mention it any in. re," she said when requested to proceed. Pressed bv Chairman Burrows, the witness told si the other penalties and obligations which have been described ly other witnesses. At the request of Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Elliott descrilied the garments worn by Mormons who have ttken the endow ments. Senator Overman asked if every Mormon in good standii.g is compelled to wear the garments, and the witness said that all such Mormons wear the garments. lxoking at Senator Snioot. Senator Overman asked the witness if she were sure everv Morman in good standing in the committee-room bad the garment' on. "Ye, sir, they have." The reply pro voked blighter, and the witness re peated, "1 know they they sll hav them on." Attorney Worthington endeavored t draw from the witness whether she ha. told others ot the endowment cere monies, but she insisted that she never had done so except in a limited way the pastor of the Baptist church in her town. She declared that the attorney for the protestants had no idea what she would say when she took the stand Senator Foraker asked the witness i she had evet heard of the endowment house penalties being enforced against any one. She said s' e ha I not. Mr. Taylor asked if she were likely suffer by reason of giving testimony here. Mrs. Elliott said she expected that her business would suffer.

In the opinion of Attorney General Crawford rerently given in regard to the sale of liquor on the State Fair Grounds it was held, at the same that the power of city councils is snended in any town or precinct of a town wh cb adopa prohibition under the local option law inasmuch as that law makes special reference to municipal charters. Thus the local option law supersedes charter provisions, permitting city councils to issue licenses. Because the local option law makes no mention of the act relating to the sale of liquor at the State Fair, the rule is held to prevail that the general law will not repeal by implication a prior special act on the same subject.
