Statistics will show that toe young man exaggerates his value. Perhaps his employer does not give him $50 a month and if he worked all day and all night he couldn't ea n $75. If he were not in the girl's parlor he would be on the street loating and getting into vicious company. The time spent in courting was undoubtedly wasted, but it was wasted without any more lasting effects than a scratch on a young man's conceit. His heart may have been touched, but it is doubtful :f his pocketbook was. The New Jersey courts have taken up the matter of courtship ai-.. lad that the ordinary courtship costs as little ae $20. The average cost is only $22 and the average duration is only 18 months. The young woman wojld make more by making her own theater and chocolate money insUad of loating with the young man. If there are any damages due anybody, tl ey arc due the girl's father, who is out coal, gas and the attention of his daughter during the period of the cou-tehip Kx. deed cannot be sut.nised. if such is pathy of the citizens of Roseburg in really the case, which is suspicions! his heavy loss and we believe a spe from the fact that no fire had been , cial effort should and will be put lighted in the building all day Satur- forth to collect an.' pay over to him at once the b?'ar.ve due him on the cleaned up by the workmen before popular subscription to his enter going home Saturday evening.

A (riant geyser casting skyward 10,000 barrels a day, threatens to deluge the northern portion of Santa Barbara County. Al ready more than 30,000,00 gallons of oil has been cast from its depths. For days men and teams have been building an immense dam by which it is hoped to chock the flood. In order to lessen the strain on the da;i!, the L'niou Oil Company, which owns the gusher, has notified the sup ervisors that they may have all the oil they wish for sprinkling county roads if they will haul it away. The predica ment concerns to no small extent those who have projerty near the Hartnell tract, where the geyser is located. Petaiie of the unprecedented gusher were brought to this city by J. B. Bon atti, of Santa Maria who arrived in San Francisco last night. Speaking of the wonderful well, he saiJ: 'Mere words cannot describe the great gusher which iewjow Hooding the Hartnell tract, six miles south of Santa -Maria.

R. & RL are Robbed--Watches and a Draft for $750 Included in the Booty Portland, Jan. 22. While the "Spokane Flyer" was rushing through the darkness between East Portland station and thirty-fourth street shortly before 7 o'clock last night, masked bandits entered the rear door of the Walla Walla sleeper, the last car of the tiain. and at the nnint. f a pistol compelled the occupants to deliver their valuables. The robbers then stopped the train by pulling the air cord, sprang off into the night and disappeared. They mcu.-everai snots as the train slowed down and thus frightened away pursuit. The victims were Roger B. Sinnott, Edward DuflFy, Dan J. Coman and Ben L Norden, of this city; J. C. Nich olson, a travelling man from Chicago, and E." E. Atherton, also of this city. John Hayes, the well-known Pullman conductor, was also a victim. From these men the rob bers obtained a draft of $750, several watches and about $150 in cash. As soon as the robbery became known at police headquarters officers were notified to be on the alert, and a posse of policemen, detectives and railway officers left on an engine for the scene cf the robbery. Officers guarded the bridges and the Vancouver Ferry, The posse spent the night looking for evidence at the scene of the robbery and in searching throughout the neighboring country.
