Benjamin, manager of the Roseburg Plaindealer, died at his home in Roseburg, Wednesday, January 11. Mr. Benjamin began the newspaper business in 1865, and worked continuously at the trade until his death. A long continued chinook wind is reported a having melted all the snow in the Ppndlprnn rnnntrv anA the crop prospects for this year are thus enhanced 25 per cent. It is no use talking, our Oregon is the most favored state -'what is." .. The political belief of Admiral Dewey has been widely discussed of late, but a relative of the Admir al has given out these words, spok- en by him a number of years ago I am a republican. I came of bid Vermont stock, rooted deep in the soil that faces the rugged slopes of the Green mountains. But you know we navy officers are not in clined to discuss partisan questions aboard ship. . Last week General Eagan called General Miles a liar and everything else uncomplimentary. President McKinley has ordered him court martialed. A salutary lesson in army etiquette will doubtless be ad ministered, and it will be none too severe if he is turned out of the service. Gentlemanly conduct in every walk of life is never at a dis count. The world, corrupt as it is, observes and renders judgement in favor of the manly man, every time. Wednesday of this week Hon. Elmo Davis introduced a bill fixing the salaries of Sheriff of Lincoln county at $1800 and that of Clerk at $1250. Other officers salaries are not mentioned. At these fig ures these officers are to pay their their own deputy and clerk hire. The c'.erk's salary is raised only $50 while the sheriffs remains the same. The only real benefit to be seen from this act is that the salar ies of these officers are taken from the control of the county court and permanent. Mr. Nichols' House Bill No. 49 reads as follows: A Bill for an Act to annex territory from Lane and Lincoln counties to Lobster pre cinct, Benton county, for the con venience of citizens residing in said territory. Be it enacted by the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon: Section 1. That all of that territory hereinafter de scribed and now forming a part of Lane and Lincoln counties be and is hereby annexed to Lobster pre cinct, of Benton county: Begin ning at the Northeast corner of Sec 13, twp 14 south, range 9 west and running 12 miles west to the Northwest corner of Section 18. twp 14 soutn, range 10 west, thence 10 mues south to southwest corner of twp 15 south, range 10 west thence 18 miles east to the south east corner of twp 15 south, range 8 west, thence north 4 miles or to county line between Lane and Benton counties, thence west six miles along south line of Benton county, thence north 5 miles to place of beginning. We are informed that this portion of territory which belongs to Lin coln received last year $125 more from the general fund than was returned in taxes, and this being the case, The Leader see no ob- ject in preventing their transfer to Benton county. So long as they are a source of loss their presence is not necessary to the welfare of Lincoln, at all. Just what our readers think of this matter is un known to us, but it is not usually policy to force any people to re main in anyplace against their will. Washington, D. C, Jan. 6, 1899. H. T. Raines, Esq. My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of yours of a recent date in reference to the Indian war Pension bill now pending before congress. This is but one of quite a large number of letters on this subject, the particu lar object of which at this time I do not exactly understand. These letters certainly are not needed in order to spur either myself or the otner members of the Oregon dele- gation to energetic action in behalf of tnis oill We are each doing everything that it is possible. The bill twice passed the Senate, in a previous Congress received th favorable report of the House com- mittee, but in this Congress the committee so far neglected to make any report. I feel confident' that this is at the request of the Speaker of the House,' who for some unex plained reason or other, seems to oppose the bill, we shall continue to do everything possible to urge action, and so far as I am concerned shall give the Committee no peace during the remainder of this session of Congress, or the next, until it acts upon this matter. I am send ing out now a letter to each member of the Committee urging the in justice of their action in producing this delay. The continued neglect to pass some measure giving a suitable recognition to the Indian war veterans is a flagrant injustice unworthy of a great government. The government committed almost a crime in not furnishing the neces sary assistance to the early settlers in the west to protect themselves and their neighbors against Indian aggression. It seems to me the present as well as previous con gresses, have continued to approve and coudone this crime. I sincere ly hope that justice will yet be done, and I shall labor in every way possible to secure it. Certain ly no class of people who ever rendered services to this govern ment in any of its wars deserved better treatment at the hands of the people than the Indian war veterans. I am certainly going to do every thing in my power to secure them justice. Truly and Sincerely yours, Thos. H. Tongue. The Wife and Her Husband's Business "It is a cause of amazement to me that a man can go on, year in and year out, toiling for a family whose members show no interest in his work further than to spend the money he makes, and loot him as the family mint. My firm belief is that had he, in the first flush of married life, talked over his business and ambitions with his wife, she would have become interested in both, first for his sake, and after for her own and their children's. Think of the gulf that lies between a man and woman united in marriage when he never speaks at home of the affairs which - absorb his entire day! Mutual interests will bind people together indissolublyeven when indifference, that dangerous bridge of sighs, 1m swallowed up aflection." Frances Evans in Ladies' Home Journal. Lively Bidding. There was a sheriffs sale of real property on the steps of the court house Saturday that had a sensa tional denouncement. The property sold was the 160 acre farm west of town on which the Wells & Mackey hop yard is situated. The mort gage was held by the school land commission, and the total charge against the property including all costs was $1,495.38. There was lively bidding. The like has not been seen on the stone steps in a long time. The sale started with a bid of $1,800 and offer followed offer until it was finally knocked down to W. A. Wells for $2,405. The sale was for cash in hand, and a check for the amount was immediately passed to Deputy Sheriff Burnett. The sensational part of the sale was the disposition of the proceeds. ! The property under stimulus of competition had brought an even $1,000 more than the amount of the judgment. The property was owned jointly by William Mackey and J. M. Brandeberry, the latter representing W. A. Wells. It is supposed that each party ex pected an equal division of the ex cess that the property brought over the judgment. But the overplus all went to William Mackey. It was so determined in the decree of the court which provides as follows: That sometimes after the execution of the said mortgage said Defen dant William Mackey became the owner of the undivided one-half of said land, and as a part of the con sideration thereof he assumed the payment of the said note and mort gage, and thereby became respon sible to this plaintiff for the amount due on said note and mortgage, it is therefore adjudged and decreed that the plaintiff have and recover of and from the defen dants Mahala and J. H. Burk and William Mackey the sum of $1,266 and costs After provid-1 ing for satisfaction of judgment," the decree continues, "and the over plus, if any, shall be paid over to the said defendant William Mackey his heirs or assigns." That if the said premises do not sell for enough to satisfy the amount due plaintiffs the plaintiffs may have execution i for the deficiency, if any, against any other property belonging to the defendants Mahala Burk, J. H. Burk and William Mackey." Corvallis Times. Weather Report.
