The Roseburg Plaindealer m a very
bright, interesting and beautifully
printed paper. Oregon State Jour
nal. Governor Hoch says that '"Kansas
is in a battl to the finish with the
Standard Oil." He omits to say whose
finish it will be.
Nebraska has appropriated S2"0.
000 for a factory for the purpose of
fighting the twine trust. This is her
chance to strangle it.
Dr. Parkhurst says solemnly that
the drunkard's path leads to the
heaise and the grave. Does the Doc

Vice-President Fairbanks is de
lighted to have become a mason.
Many other men are also glad to be
masons now when a bricklayer gets
five dollars a dav.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman says
that men are far more beautiful than
women. Many a woman is telling her
husband the same thing in anticipa
tion of an appropriation for the Eas
ter bonnet.
The Ohio Supreme Court has de
cided that all guessing contests are
lotteries and that their authors are
punishable. It is good for the
Weather Bureau that it is not located
in Ohio.
They have arrested a man in Wis
consin for stealing one hundred thou
sand dollars from the Standard Oil
trust. After serving his sentence he
can get an engagement in a dime mu
seum. Rhode Island has passed an act
prohibiting the sale of Fourth of July
explosives throughout the state. Ev
ery state legislature in the country
would do well to follow the example
of little Rhody.
Senator Warner says he paid
$28.90 for his election and Mr. Ad
ricks is wishing right heartily that he
could walk in on the Deleware legis
lature some day when it was having
such a marked down sale.
A man working on a tunnel in the
East River was blown1 up through the
mud and sand of the river bed and
through the water and still lives to
tell his friends about it. What an
active an experienced man he would
be for the Canal Commission.
Now Land Commissioner Richards
is said to be among the land fraud
suspects whose head is to come off
before long. He is said to have
shadowed Commissioner Hermann for
two yeers to gain evidence for Hitch
cock to oust Mr. Hermann.
A well known scientist argues that
people of opposite tastes and dispo
sitions should marry. In Chicago
wnere divorces are granted at the
rate of seventeen to the half hour it
would seem that the city had already
followed the scientist's advice.
President Roosevelt when in Louis
ville was presented with a jug of wa
ter from the Larue spring from which
Lincoln used to drink. It is not like
ly that he was presented with a jug
of something stronger from the little
rill where Col. Watterson allays his
thirst.
President Roasevelt plans to be
gone from Washington two months, a
wolf hunt in Oklahoma, and bear and
elk in Colorado being the star attrac
tions. There is but one thing to pre
vent his getting full measure of en
joyment from these occasions his
being president.
R. M. Veatch beat Oliver Veatch,
his nephew, by 15 votes for the may
oralty of Cottage Grove. Colonel Bob
was the only one of the three candi
dates not declaring his policy and
principles in a platform, which dem
onstrates the fact that it does not
always pay to declare one's self on
important questions.
SESSION LAWS SOON WILL ISSUE
The session laws of the last legis
lature will be ready for distribution
in a few days. The new laws will
not go into effect, except in rare in
stances, until May 1 St h. so there will
be ample time for lawyers, judges and
public officers generally to tint! out
what the new laws are before they
must observe them. Thev will find
the index of the published copy of
the session laws of 1905 of invaluable
service to them in making pen anno
tations in their codes, for Attorney
A. O. Condit. who prepared the index,
has made a complete list of all sec
tions amended or repealed, together
with chapter and page of the session
laws upon which the new law will be
found.
Heretofore each attorney has had
to search the session laws page by
page to find the changes and note
them on the margin of his copv of
the code. The published copy of the
session lasvs has never contained a list
of sections amended. The work of
annotating a code has been such
big task that many attorneys left it
undone. With the aid of the list pre
pared by Mr. Condit an attorney or
public officer can, in a few moments,
note on the margin of his code every
change made at the session of 1905.

The Japanese parliament last
month denied foreigners the right of

was the warmest ever held m the

Herald should feel responsible for the
weight of Mr. and Mrs. Burns' baby is
not clearly understood. He should not

ten pounds instead of seven. The edi

INVESTIGATING THE
BOOTH, KELLY CO.
Portland, April r So far as the land
band an concerned, the investigations
of tin1 federal cran 1 jnrv now in maioa
will probably Dover do important cases
save that ot the liooth-kollv Lumber
company. An army of witnesses has
been mhoeiaed to testify concerning
the metluxls by which this corporation
acquired its immenee holdings) of public
lands, ami the gran I jury's inquisition
is necessarily procecdiin slowly.
The lobby outside of the grand jury
room is crow.lo.l daily with witnesses
and secret service men, BMat of the
tormer from Koseburs;, Cottage Grove
and other towns in southern Oimma
Many of them are men who took up
claims which were subsequently trans
ferred to the Booth-Kelly catnpanv.
.1 . V Ooofc, who was a parly to the
sale of lands to the company three vears
ago, says that this aM the only trans
action of the triad whi.'h he had. At
that time he and .1. 1 Jones, of Cottagf
l irove, who was jointly interested with
himself in the property, sold to the
Hooth-Kelley I.umlier company aluut
10,000 acres of railroad land- and from
2.000 to 3,000 acres of other lands.
Mr. Cook says that he and Jones
owned all of the land w hich they sold,
and none of it had been acq aired for
the purpose of sellitii: it to the com
pany. He declares that the transaction
was perfectly regular.
booth am RRinoEs mm tvjrtSY.
Closely interwoven with the investiga
tion of the Booth-Keiley L hat com
pany is the inquiry into the conduct
of the Roseburg land office. J. I".
Bridges and .1. H. Booth, the suspended
ufficiala of the office, are both in Port
Land under subpoena, and the former
lias already been subjected to a pro
tracted examination before the grand
jury. It has bean known for boom time
past that valuable information was oh
tained from Bridges and Booth by the
secret service agents.
The first witness to lie examined to
day was I. Thomas Aiiee, of Mapleton.
He was followed by I 'h.irles Barker and
William Tipton, of Koseburg. The in
quisition into the land frauds was sus
pended yesterday lout enough to jermit
S. C. Bartrum, superintendent ;of the
Cascade forest reserve, to present mart
evidence concerning the illegal -setting
of forest tires, and other witnesses will
probable be heard upon the same suls-
jeet before the gran 1 jury concludes its
labors. This is, however, wholly uncon
nected with the land frauds, the chief
topic of investigation.

AFTER THE FOREST
FIRE OFFENDERS
A dispatch from Portland says: It is
known that the jury ie investigating, or
shortly w ill tie, the malicious setting out
of forest fires in the Cascade forest re
serve. Supervisor S. C. Bartrum ae
peared before the jury Tuesday, and it
is further known that his presence here
is in connection with forest fire offenses.
Mr. Bartrum is doing all in his pnmar
to bring about a full investigation of this
matter, and it is believed that the GoT
ernment has a strong case against some
one for committing this crime.
It is understood that no indictments
will be returned by the grand jury until
the entire work of investigation by the
present jurors has been completed,
when all findings will be known simul
taneously.

ROSEBURG AMATEURS
MADE A GREAT HIT
The laughable farce coined v in three
acts, entitled "Captain Racket, " was
eery creditably presented to a large and
well pleased audience at the Koseburg
theater Monday evening by local talent
for the benefit of the Koseburg Orches
tra, which furnished excellent music for
the Occasion. The opening mil-it at
Mmbar was "The Village Orchestra
Kehorsal," a burlesque specialty in
w hich the orchestra members appeared
ia typical rural costumes and rioalod
lion h merriment.
In the production Of the play, all the
participants acquitted themselves ad
mirably and in some respects sustained
their reopen tire roles as creditably as
similar characters have been sustained
by traveling troops which have visited
Koseburg the past season. Koy Bellows
as "Captain Racket." of the National
tiuaid, "a lawyer when he has nothing
else to do and a liar all the time," cer
tainly interpreted this unique character
in a most satisfactory manner and sup
plied a full share of the comedy.
M. K. Wright, as "Timothy Tollman,"
the Captain's friend who "married iur
money ami is sorry for it," impersonated
the "henpecked husband, in moat
approved and up-to-date fashion, atbifti
his penchant lor luting with the Cap
tain's prettv wife, and his periodical in
clination to overload with champaign,
Math to the discomfiture of Mrs. Toll
man, were all )wrtrayed as if by an
adebt in this special comedy role. The
character of the somewhat jealous Mrs.
Tollman, was ably sustained by Miss
Agnes Pitchford, and her efforts to
maintain the dignity of her household
by repe.it.- remonstrances with her
rather recreant souse, afforded much
amusement.
"Mr. Dalroy, the captain's father-in
law, a jolly cove," was excellently por
trayed by Thos. Carlon : and John
Ryan, as "Hobson, a waiter from the
Cafe Glorina," told the blunt story of
Timothy's carrousal and presented his
wit., will, ti... f..r,.,-r-- -I ..r. Kill
and damages assessed for hisextravagatit i

Nels Oamnndsoa represented "Obi- j
diah Dawson, the captain's uncle from ;
Japan w ho shareil in the pursuit o
fair Clarice, and added his ortion to I
the trials of poor Timothy, as well as to
those of his nephew, the gay captain.
The star rate of ' 'Clarice," the cap-
tain s pretty wne, --out lor a lark anil
up to everything awful," was sustained
by Miss tiertrude Kast in her usual
charming manner, the various difficult
situations tieing in an met unassuming
and realistic manner by the clever young
lccal leading iady.
