The Bugene Guard of Monday had this to say about a scheme on the part of Linn county to annex a por tion of the Bine River mining di - net which is bow located in Lane county: "A. petition was circulated on the streets this afternoon 1 emonstrating against the passage of House Hill No. 212, the object of which is to re-; vise the boundary of Lane and Linn I counties. U the bill passes it means thai much of the Blue River mining ' district now situated in Lane will be transferred to Linn. This is a vital question with our citizens and if no interest has been taken by a few it i is high time tyat a bill which means much to Linnjand a great disadvan tage to Lane hould be objected to by our citizens. The business men , are adding their names to the peti tion in a harry, and those who have not as yet done so will have a chance ' tonight at the Commercial Club." Never was the old a lage that "it makes a great difference whose ox is being goaded" more fittingly applica ble or more effectively demonstrated than in the above, when it is recalled that it has only been a fortnight since these same Eugene business men and this self-same Commercial Club was putting forth vigorous ef forts to have the southeast boundary line of Lane county so revised as to include in Lane county that portion of the Bohemia mining district now located in Douglas county and when the Plaindealer and the Roseburg Commercial Cmb remonstrated the Bugene papers expressed surprise at our "covetousness and disposition to retard the growth and development of the Bohemia mines." However. 1 when confronted with a similar move ment by a neighboring county on the north, Eugene and Lane county gefs p in arms and proposes to fight the Ml to a finish, which is branded as "a great disadvantage to Lane." Here in Roseburg and Douglas coun ty the loss of that portion of the Bo hemia mines located in this coutny is equally as seriously objected too; the question Jjust as vital ; the movement just as detrimental, and the disadvan tage to Douglas just as great as is the former movement of Linn against Lane county. We are pleased to note that oar northern neighbor has been given a Jolt which will bring her to a : practical realization of just how it seems to have a pilfering and covet ous neighbor and how it makes you feel to have said neighbors continual-; ly grabbing after your richest and best territory. Poor Queen Wilhelmina. A pathetic story is being unfolded in the historic lowlands. Wilhelmina, Queen of the Dutch, has no heir, and has no hope of any. This is a terrible tragedy in a young woman's life, especially a queen, beloved, herrditally and personally, by by the people of Holland, She made the mistake that her prototype in queendom, Victoria, did not make. Victoria while a girl fell in love with a gentlemen, a true man, although a German princeling, and asked him to marry her. He could not refuse. They had a large family ; too- many, really for England's wel fare; and beautiful, young, bewitch ing, beloved, powerful Wilhelmina also falls in love with a German princeling, who happens to be a far different man from Albert and then the lifelong tragedy. No heir! No children! No hope! She fell in love with a contemptible creature, valuable only in vast amounts of his debts. He was good for only what he owned. He is a mere nominal husband. He signs the payrolls. The Dutch burghers have passed a law providing for a succession to the throne. Wilhelmina has signed it. When she posses, a new family wiil wear the dignity. Wilheimina'8 lover will gamble and drink, and carouse, and burn out his little candle, and be despised, while be lives and after he is dead. Jour nal. Got. Folk says emphatically that "Wine rooms and gambling resorts mast be closed in St Ixrais." This does not mean "keeping the lid down " It means that there is to be nothing under the lid. J W. C. CONNER, Editor. F. H. ROGERS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Samuel H. Piles, of Seattle, who was elected Dated States Senatoi for Washington to succeed Senator Fos ter. Friday, was born in Kentucky 1 1 years ago, and is a lawyer by pr -fession. He came to Washington in 1883. and for a time worked in log ging camps on the Sound: later he took up the practice of law in Snohomish, then Spokane and finally Seattle. In the recent rtmptiign. business men of Seattle, irrespective of party, formed an organisation and insisted that he enter the Senatorial race, which he has ended so suceess fullv. The movement to do away wit! the cumbersome and foolish fads intro duced into public schools a few u-ars ago is becoming almost as general and positive as was that of their in troduction. Parents and empl vers realize now that raffia work, phonies and scientific acoustics do not r lake good substitutes for a foundation of reading, writing and arithmetic. We may look for a time soon when chil dren will dwell in blackest igaorance of the internal economy of caterpil lars but can spell surely and amply bv the old method. General Miles may spend most of his time looking in the mirr r. hi t he can tear himself away long en igh occasionally to look after the inter ests of General Miles. He has re signed from General Douglass staff to evade a provision of the Dick law which states that officers taking mi litia duty will not be restored to the full pay of active service. He will steal a march on those who ahned a blow at him because he will not be in office at the time the bill goes into effect, resuming his duties imme liate lv after. When questioned recently ex-Governor Geer would neither confirm nor deny his prospective candidacy for governorship, declining to make a statement at this time, except that his friends have been urging hi: enter the race, but that he h is not 9 decidexl what to da It is morally certain that I whoever captures the nomination for governor at the hands of the Republican party, he may bank on having Governor ('ham berlain to run against. That the old soldiers of the State Home at Roseburg may live with their wives during their declin ing year.Vawter of Jackson has in troduced a House bill providing for the erection of a number of cottages on the grounds of that institution. It is probable that the details of the bill will be changed in committee. A similar bill is in the Senate. There is another proposition to connect Tillamook county with tho outside world by rail. This one may not be genuine, and may not succeed. : Rut the time is ne ir when that r il J section will have an outlet by rail, or two or more of them. It cannot be j kept in the background much longer, j and the same is applicable to Coos I county. A preacher writing to the Albany Democrat deplores the fact that the legislature propoocfl to raise the fee for a marriage license to $5. lb thinks people are to be born, mar ried and buried without extra cost. The Iegislature turned down the proposition, and the fee will remain at $3. That is high enough. Coos county is to have a $10,000 building at the 190.r Fair, built of native woods. That is going some for what has been referred to as a backwoods county. The fact is the coast counties of Oregon are among the richest in natural resources in the state, and they are going to be gin to come to the front. Wilson, Tillamook county, claims to be the wetjtest town in Ameri.-i. The average rainfall is 136 inches an nually. The town nestles in a canyon surrounded by high mountains. Clear water, Jefferson county, ranks next, with annual rain fall of 130 inches, although Neah Ray, Wash., is a close second. Count Cassini, the Russian Ambas sador, says the affection of the peo ple for the Czar still abides. The Czar doubtless wishes thev would take some other way of showing it. Manager. 2, 1905. A call has been issued Superin tendent Itillard, nf L ine county, t" the teachers of the schools to meet in the Bagene high sch . boil ling on Saturday for the purpose of appoint Big committees and electing some teacher to look after school exhibits fur the fair.
