EASTER GLADNESS
Onlv five times in the past 225
years has Easter come later than
did this year. The latest possible
date is April 25th, which is two daye
later than it was in this year of our
Lord. In Roseburg, as usual, the
day was appropriately observed by
special services at all of the churches
There were large congregations and a
wealth of beautiful flowers and Eas
ter bonnets. The olden and oft re
peated story of the resurrection was
listened too with no waning interest.
It is on this day that the lenten gloom
is dispelled by the gladness of the
Easter carols and as a writer well
says: "The story of the resurrection
is one of which we never tire. And
somehow the poetry of this wonder
ful story gets into the churchbell and
the minister's sermon on this day
Skeut.cism slinks out of sight, and
Faith reigns supreme.
Not in any spirit of iconoclasm
shall we deal with the Easter hope
But to the story of this resurrection
may be added other chapters not so
often told. For Easter is as old as
the human race. It was a Pagan day.
In all ages men have known of a res
urrection. In all ages have they
welcomed the approached of the
Spring, coming as it does after the
Winter has laid its icy finger on all
that is beautiful and joyful in Nature,
an icy finger that seems to be the
touch of death. So it seems, but
every year the Spring, with its burst
ing buds, its unfolding leaves, its
creeping grass and meadow flowers,
that come when the old earth is in a
position to get a few more or less
verticle darts from the sun. proves
that in Nature there is no such thing
as death.
And so the human heart, when the
Easter tide rises to the full, the soft
Spring winds blowing and the air
fragrant with flower-miracles, enters
into the joy of the resurrection, and
proclaims that there is in human lives
no such thing as death."
THE TIMBER LAND FRAUDS.
In a recent interview with an Iowa
reporter CoL Hofer of the Salem
Journal had this to say
of the bind
fraud cases:
The timber land frauds have been
enormous. The government has de
fidnd to nnt an end to them. But
that is what the government has al
ways been doing. I can remember as
a young man all about the Iowa
school land frauds. I can remember
how lartre bodies of timber land in
Minnesota and Michigan were gob
bled up and acquired by capatilists
and monopolies who in many instances
became millionaires and found their
final resting place in the United
States senate. In the same way very
little public land has been acquired in
Oregon by strict compliance with
law. The same is true of every west
ern state. The big corporations and
syndicates are acquiring it today and
have been acquiring it under the lieu
land laws that were worked in con
nection with the forest reserve policy
of which Grover Cleveland was the
sponsor. The public men indicted in
Oregon may have been technically
guilty or negligent, but that any sen
ator or congressman in Oregon has
been a party to corruption directly or
indirectly no one seriously believes
and they will all be acquitted. There
will be convictions, however, of those
who have openly and flagrantly con
spired to deprive the government of
public lands and stricter rules will be
enforced in future as a result of the
investigations ordered by President
Roosevelt
CUTS OFF OFFICERS FEES
The operations of the referendum
law are not too satisfactory to some
of the county officers of the state at
the present time. Since the appro
priations bill was held up by the re
ferendum recently filed at Salem, the
sheriff and other officers who convey
criminals or insane persons to Salem
are obliged to defray the expenses of
the trip with their own funds. All
they can secure in the way of re-im-
bursement from the state is a sort of
certificate or due bill which bears no
interest and which, if the holder
must absolutely raise money on it,
may possibly be cashed by some
banker or speculator at a discount of
15 per cent. In the meantime funds
of the state, destined for this pur
pose, are lying idle. This condition
of things will continue until the next
regular election in June, 190G. Then
if the obstructing movement is up
held in the election there will be no
relief until the next legislative ses
sion. Ul course it is not on account
of expenses of this character that
the referendum is invoked but the
appropriations bill contains many
items and the referendum petitioners
in order to get at theii object were
obliged to put the whole bill to sleep.
The people will have before election
a good long time to consider the
matter in all its phases and mean
while the conveyance to Salem of
criminal or insane charges will be an
employment not eagerly sought.
BLACKSTONE'S STUPIDITY.
A story is told of a certain Justice
of the Peace a very self-sufficient
person who previous to trial of a
cause had reached a conclusion as to
a question of law highly satisfactory
to himself. He refused to entertain
an argument by the opposing counsel.
"If vour Honor pleases," counsel
pleaded, "I should like to cite a few
authorities upon the point." But
counsel was sharply interrupted by
the Justice, who stated:
The Court knows the law and is
thoroughly advised in tne premises;
it has given its opinion and that set
tles it."
"It was not," continued counsel,
with an idea of convincing your Hon
or that you were wrong, but I did
want so much to show you what
fool old Blacketone was."
Pike's Peak is to be made the light
house of the Rocky Mountain region
A sixty thousand candle power search
light, surrounded by several hundred
incandescent lamps, will be mounted
on the summit of the peak this sum

light will be visible for one hundred
and fifty miles over the plains. The
light will be installed as a resort at
traction, and the required electric
current will be furnished from Mani-
tou.
The gasoline motor manufactured
in the Union Pacific shops at Omaha,
intended for service on the Southern
Pabific between Portland and Hills-
boro, is pronounced a success. This
is likely to revolutionize passenger
traffic between the cities and subur
ban points. But there will be plenty
of room left for motor lines.
An old criminal was once asked
what was the first step that led him
to ruin and he said: "The first thing
that led to my down-fall was cheat
ing an editor out of two years sub
scription. When I had done that the
devil had such a grip on me that I
could not shake him off."

Salem, Ore., April 22 In order to
make a further test of the problen
of using convict labor on the
public highways. Governor Chamber
lain has arranged to work 40
convicts in three separate gangs on the

A VALUABLE QUARTZ
MINING PROPERTY
The Kramer Gold Mining and Mil
ling Co., Placing Some Stock
On the Market.
The Kramer group of mines, compris
ing ten claims on Whiskey Creek, a
tributary at Rogae river in Josephine
county, are generially known as among
the best producers in Southern Oregou
and have just reached that state of de
velopment where they should soon lie
come large dividend payers. This
groupe of mine has long been known aa
one of the beet and most valuable
quartz properties in this section of the
state, assays from which run all the way
from ten up into the thousands of dol
lars. Tltese mines are very favorably
situated lor successful operations, plenty
of water and umber for (net being
conveniently at hand.
There is a tine lot of rich ore on the
leads thus far prospected alt of which
showing up well.
Recently a company was incorporated
under the laws of the state of Oregon to
more fully develop this mining property
and operate it on a more extensive
scale. The company is composed of well
knomn, tubrtatial and reliable iocal men
whose enterprise, energy and business
qualifications assures the success of this
big mining enterprise. A small amount
of slock is being placed on the market at
the unusual low price of ten cents per
share aud many good sized blocks have
been taken by local people, who are
looking for a safe and profitable invest
ment, which we folly believe money in
vested in this property, to be. Hon.
Willis Kramer, of Myrtle Creek, and
J 8. C.Fiint and II. L. Marsters, ot Koee
' burg, are among the active members J
'of this new mining company,'
! the two latter being engaged
' in introducing the stock of the company
' at tbe present time. We expect to hear
of this group of mines becoming one of
Hit) gull g".d producers of Southern
I Oregon at no distant date.
JOHN PAUL
JONES REMAINS
Motetliaa ho year ngo the lody of
John Haul Jones, first American ad
miral, was buried in a Paris cemetery,
and its location forgotten I Miring some
years whole city blocks have been tun
neled under in order to find the body,
and the searchers believe they have met
success. At any rate they have secured
a laden casket containing the remains
of a man, ami this will tie carried across
the sea with honors, and lie given a
place on American soil. Ah a man who
did splendid service for the embryo
America Republic, Johu Paul deserves
to lie remembered with honor, and as a
commander who was victor in one of the
most astounding sea fights known to
naval history he rightly ranks as a hero.
But John Paul Jones, as he called him
self, but which was not his real name
was not an American horn and lie lent
his services to other countries as well
as ours. He waa born in the north of
Kngland, and perhaps was not so much
a lover of America as he waa a hater of
hie native country. It was an odd idea,
after more than a century had rolled
away, to seek his remains for transpor
tation to this country. There must be
doubt ul -out the genuineea of the body
that lias tieen unearthed, but there is no
doubt atnmt the heroic record of the
man.
This is about the time of year when
the good wife takes a notion to clean ont

you will notice it coming on like a hen

keep your face closed, get your meals as
quick as possible and get out. It is the
one big time in a woman's lifo and none
should be denied the right to bring
everything out of the house and look on
the back side if they want to.

tion and will commence practice at
