Members of the Multnomah dele
gation to the recent Legislature
which passed the $1,000,000 appro
priation bill, against which the citi
zens of Yamhill have taken steps to
invoke the referendum, are unani
mous in declaring themselves as of
the opinion that the movement start
ed is ill-advised and apt to prove pro
ductive of bad results. It is admitted
that the Normal school feature is the
one responsible for the attitude of
those who oppose the bill, but even
these advise against action by the
people that may result in compelling
the state to conduct its business upon
a warrant basis for the next two
years. The movement of the Yam-
hl people will receive no support in
Southern Oregon.

The Plaindealer is devoting consid

mines from time to time from the
fact that this is rapidly becoming one
of the most important and profitable
industries in Southwestern Oregon
Manv very valuable mining proper
ties are being developed and operated
on an extensive scale with excellent
returns. The Bohemia mining dis
trict in the northeast part of this
county is destined to become a flour
shing camp and to save this mining
district from covetous Lane county a
good road must be completed into the
district by Douglas county and more
interest musttbe manifested on the
part of Douglas county in the devel
opment of the district. W e came
near losing this valuable territory
the late session of the legislature and
if some effort is not put forth before
the next session to provide an outlet
from the mines to Roseburg we will
surely lose the Bohemia mining dis
trict and the extensive trade there
from, which now goes to Cottage
Grove and Eugene.
Sooner or later the people must
decide whether they want Govern
ment control of industries or indus
trial control of the Government.

'The iniquitous feudal system of
land holding in this country is as
much to blame for the frauds as are
the men indicted," said L. E. S.
Wood at Portland addressing the
Young People's Culture union of Tem
ple Beth Israel. "The system is a
remnant of the dark ages, when the
conquerors of Britain stood on the
mountain top and parceled out the
island to their sub-chiefs. The tim
ber and stone act today was enacted
by corporation lobbies, to enable tim
ber companies to secure the public do
main." He said a man who gets It In
acres can do nothing with it but sell
and this he does as soon as he can
find a timber corporation that will
buy. The title to all land should,
ke declared, be subject to actual oc
cupation and use, and no man should
be permitted to hold land, anywhere
at nnleas he improved and used it. Idle
land was an iniquitous condition
which caused want and misery.
Dillard, Ore., March 2.- (Special to
Plaindealer) The vicinity of Kice
Creek was sorely grieved Wednesday
evening by the sudden and unexpect
ed death of Bert Barrett, a well
known young man, who, while in
company with Douglas Morris, was
hunting near a place familiarly known
as "Eden Prairie," about six miles
southwest of Dillard. The terrible
affair was purely accidental on the
part of Mr. Barrett. The young men
having sat down on a large cliff of
rocks for a rest, were pulling and
eating wild licorice, when suddenly
Mr. Barrett's irun slipped from his
grasp and struck the hammer on
rocK below him in such a manner as
to discharge the weapon.
The ball entered the flesh on the
inner side of the left thigh, ranging
diagonally, and lodged near the left
The Japanese Government has been
greatly exercised in its mind over the
ow stature of the soldiers, and it ap
pointed a commission to study the
causes and to suggest a remedy that
may aid in correcting the national
shortness.
The commission has published its
report, and it ascribes the shortness
of the Japanese to the habit of sit
ting on the heels instead of on a
chair. This attitude, it holds, had
prevented the legs of the Japanese
from growing, and it suggests that
the children should for the future sit
in the European fashion and thus al
low their legs to develop.
The legs of the Japanese may be
short, but they are uncommonly stur
dy, and are capable of great feats in
marching. Moreover, it should be
remembered that a short soldier bears
bullets whistle harmlessly overhead
which would kill a taller man. In
these days of magazine rifles height
is of little advantage.
kidney, causing instant death.
There being no other available
means the young man was carried
home on a litter by several men wh
hastened to the scene of the accident.
Mr. Barrett was so well and favor
ably known here that the blow on the
entire community is a hard one. He
was twenty-six years of age and un
married. He leaves a father, H. M. Barrett
of Glendale, a mother and sister on
Kice Creek, besides other relatives in
this county. D. J. Herstine of Oak
land, and J. M. Henry of Dillard, are
uncles of the deceased young man .
The grief-stricken family have the
sincere sympathy of the entire neigh
borhood in their sad bereavement.

BATTLING DANE DEFEATS CORBETT
At Portland a determined tight is
being made to cause the remo val of
United States Marshal, W. F. Mat
thews, who but a few days ago an
nounced his withdrawal from active
participation in Oregon politics.
Various charges have been filed
against Mr. Matthews, among them
being the allegation that he opened
private letters while he was serving
as Deputy Postmaster in Portland.
Cognizance of attempted election
frauds is another charge. There are
rumors of others. Some of these
charges have been forwarded to
Washington. D. C. and reports of of
ficial action are expected. Oppon
ents of Matthews point to the sum
mary removal of District Attorney
Hall, and declare they confidently ex
pect similar action.

A Chicago man who has a repre
sentative in Hood River was there
last week and said: "Hood River is

state put together." Big red-cheeked

Dr. James Withycombe, of Corval-
1b, director of the Agricultural Ex
periment Station, is an avowed candi
date for the republican nomination
for Governor of Oregon. Among
those who have been talked of in con
neciion witn the republican nomina
tion for the Governorship are: C. A
Johns, of Baker City; L L. Patterson,
of Salem; M. A. Moody, of The Dalles;
Henry E. Ankeny, of Eugene and A
C. Marsters, of Roseburg.
Among the items included in the
general appropriation bill of the state
legislature of Washington, now in
session, is $264,000 for maintenance
of the three Normal schools of that
state. This is over $121,000 apiece
Thus each of the three Washington
Normal schools (provided this appro
priation is divided equally among
them) will receive over $8000 more
than was voted by the Oregon legis
lature for all four of the Normal

cnoois oi mis sxaie. i et there are
people in Oregon who refer to the
comparatively small pittance allowed
for Normal schools in this state as
graft" and talk of invoking the ref
erendum for the purpose of cutting
off entirely the state support of these
schools. Oregon is seeking eastern
immigration and cannot afford to be
niggardly in the support of educa
tional institutions if we expect to at
tract the better classes of citizens.
One simple, single thing is the
foundation of all this eagerness for
money, without conscientious care as
how it is obtained. Men have been
following the advice of the father to
his son as he set out upon his career:
"My son, get money, honestly if you
can. but get monev." The love of
money is not the root of all evil, but
it is responsible for an immense
amount of evil. Every man by fru
gality and energy can earn sufficient
for all their wants honestly; but that
does not seem enough; they burn and
fret with a desire to get rich, to get
things for nothing or without ren
dering a fair equivalent. Most of
them use their knowledge to obtain
money or property wrongfully. To
get money or property seems the
main thing; the only thing; heedless
of how they come by it, just so they
are not caught in the law'a meshes.
They become diseased with avarice,
which perverts their morals and ob
literates their sense of duty to their
fellow men and even to them
selves. What a tremendous lesson
there is in all these Oregon
accusations and indictments and
confessions and denials. It is the se
quel to the struggles of the follower
of the advice, "Get money, honestly
if you can, but get money."
Several G. A. R. Posts throughout
the country have passed resolutions
protesting against the recent action
of congress in providing that the con-
leedrate nags captured by the union
army be returned to the states from
which they came on the ground that
the capture of these battle-flags cost
this nation and our comrades the
sacrifice of many noble, loyal and
patriotic lives that this great repub
lic might be retained among the
nations of the world."
Sn Francisco, Feb. 28. Battling Nel
son, of Chicago, made young Corbett, of
Ienver, appear the veriest tyro at the
lighting game tonight when h practic
ally knockeI him out in the middle of
the ninth round. In order to save their
man from a complete knock-out the w
onds threw up the sponge. The man
who twice met Terry McGovern is not
in it with the young Dane at any sUge
of the game. He seemed to lack spoed
and certainly lacked accuracy. In the
early part of the fight, on several occa
sions, he straightened Nelson up with
rights and lefts on the jaw, but when it
came to following up his advantage his
swings were wild. He seemed to be over
anxious while Nelson at all times ma
cool and confident, in the seTenth,
when it appeared as if Corbett was prac
tically gone be showed a dash of his old
time speed and landed several severe
punches on Nelson's ribs and jaw. It
was only a spurt, however, and Corbet t
soon lapsed into a semi-groggy condition
which lasted until the end of the tight.
Nelson's plan of battle was to force LVr
bett around the ring, keeping close to
him all the time Whenever Corlett
missed his swing Nelson was there with
a return which eenerallv landed. From
the 5th round on Nelson had Cor belt in
a corner or against the ropei and landed
heavv blows at will. Corbett in some
way managed to plot cat himself from a
knockout blow until the middle of the
ninth round. In a jiffy Nelson SwVag
his right over the jaw and Corbett wer.t
down. He remained down ai.d then
stood up against the rupee with tiie
hand- lowered and unable to protect
himself. Nelson partially toppled him
over with a swing OK the jaw but tiefore
Corbett was fairly on the mat his sec
onds threw up the sponge The round
lasted two minutes and :." second.
In the eighth round Nelson hail Cor
tett against the ropes and the I'enver
man claimed a foul ami lowered his
hands. Nelson then demonstrated that
he was Corbett's superior in speed, in
accuracy and aim. abilitv to take pun
ishment, and stiff punishment. After
the tight Corbett ha I very little to
say. He had no excuse to offer. Ne'son
was very happy and announced that his
next effort would be to obtain a tight
with Britt, who once defeated him The
tight tonight was heavilv played t.y the
betting element The odds were 10 to
I and were eagerly snapped at by Cor
bett's admirer. There as plenty of
Nelson monev in sight ami all Baa of.
fered were taken.
The celebration of the forty-first an
niversary of the Knights of I'ythiaa or
der by Alpha Lnlge No. 47, Wednesday
evening in this city, fully demonstrated
the fact that this is one of the real I i vi
and progressive local fraternal orders of
Koscburg and that the order is in a
nod flourishing condition. There was
a large attendance of .the membership
while a great number of friends uf the
order were present and were treate.l
right royally.
County Clerk Zopher Agee. a promi
nent member of the order served in the
capacity of master of ceremonies and
announced the splendid literary and
musical program, which was as follows:
Overature, Roseburg Orchestra.
Address of Welcome, Zopher Agee
Vocal Solo, "Hearts and Flowers,"
Wilbur Boss.

Scott "Marmion," Constants speerh in
death chamber, Miss Kva Messier.
Piano Solo, Miss Neita kaliat.
Beading, "The Pith'an Banner,"
Free Johnson.
Selection. Orchestra.
VV ortby of especial mention was the
elooiient and appropriate address of I
Zopher Agee. He gave a brief Malar
of the Order covering its 41 Htecemfsil
years, extolled its virtues, defined its
objects, ami upheld its excellent law
and workings. He said it was an eleva
t.ng order with high ideals and one
which is truly American. Nearly half a
million oi the country's beet citizens
are enrolled in its uietn!ership which is
still increasing at worderful rapid
rate. Mr. Agee was heartily congratu
lated by his brother Knights and go eats
upon his oriel but able address.
Another feature worthy of more than
passing notice was the excellent rendi- .
lion of Sir Walter Scott's "Marmion.",
by Miss Eva Messier, who again proved
herself a charming and entertaining'
young el'vutionist. The vocal solo by
Wilbur Boss was well rendered as was
also the excellent piano solo by Miss
Rabat. The Roseburg orchestra as usu-
al eame in for its full share of encore.
F'ollowing the program varions card
games were indnlged in, the evening en
tertainment closing with a splendid fan
quet. Among those prominent on the
entertainment and reception eommHtem
were. heriff H. T. McClallen, M. F
Wright, Jas. Perry, 7. pher Agee. Mel

"Nine-tenths of the divorces in the
state are due to the meanness of the
husbands. The divorce laws of Ore
gon are none too lax. In fact, I am
surprised that so many women stand
the abuse which is heaped upon them
by the men who are not fit to be hus
bands. There is never a divorce
granted without cause, and in many
instances there is more than a good
cause." Such is the opinion of Judge
A. L. Frazer of Portland, concerning
the so-called "divorce evils." In very
few instances, in his opinion, is the
divorce law abused, and in a great
many more cases it is not taken ad
vantage of when there exists abund

Judge, "there are instances where
giddy and foolish women marry when
they have no business to marry. In
these cases they are to blame, and
there is a slight abuse of the law.
Bnt in the great majority of cases it
is the fault of the husband. Some
men will treat a woman worse than
they would a beast, and expect her to
submit to it. Here there is no evil

Liquor War on at Forest Grove
The fight between the president and
trustees of Pacific University and the
city of Forest Grove was commenced in
earnest last week, wheh the college filed
a complaint in the Circuit Court for an
injunction restraining the issuance of a
liquor license to A O. Watson. The
suit in the Circuit Court is against C. N.
Johnson, mayor ; A. G. Watson, appli
cant, and the recorder and courfcilmen.
Forest Grove has never had a licensed
saloon because the original townsite
deeds, granted by the trustees of Pacific
University and Turlatin Academy, con
tained a prohibitory clause. A "Com
mercial Club" was established two or
three years ago and managed to evade
the prohibition in the dispensing of li
quor and acquiring a large membership.
Many took the ground that the town
might as well derive revenue from the
traffic, and last election three pro-license
councilmen, three anti- license council
men and a pro-license mavor became
city officials. The mayor's deciding
vote was for a saloon on the first ballot.

the place of call boxes. Thie gives the
patrons better facilities for securing their

hours of the day, from 7 o'clock a. m. to
