T he Lane county man that
Honorable Binder Hermann nl
the best friend the county ever had.
T he shipping interests of the Great
Siuslaw valley are now beilig very care­
fully looked after, and as a result a gen­
eral picking up of all business is notice­
able.

C onqbessmax H ekmann has secured
the opening to settlement of the Klam­
ath reservation. This throws into m ar­
ket for actual settlement over one mil­
lion acres of land. We congratulate the
Star and its efforts.
C aptain s S ymons has officially en­
dorsed the improving of the south cli an­
il of the Siuslaw river. Fifty thous­
and dollars expended on the south chan­
nel will give better results than $300,000
would if expended on the north channel.

United State« is becoming an alarmingly
increased business. Detroit, Michigan,
seems to he the most favorable point at
which the Celestials can cross the
border, for it is the city most adjacent to
Chicago, whither nearly all of them
seem to be bound. Because of this fact
Detroit has always been a favorite port
at which to land after the trip through
Canada from the Pacific, and, although
there are no statistics to prove it, it is
undisputed that more Chinese have been
smuggled across the Detroit river at
various points than at any other place
in tiic country.
A t the fortieth conference of reorgan­
ized latter day saints which was held
recently at Independence, Mo., it was
decided to endeavor to show at the
World’s Fair at Chicago, that they have
good reason to claim to l>e the true
church b y archaeological proofs. They
intend to place on exhibition there th«
book and history of Mormon and show
the plates just as they were received
years ago. A saint asked for the pray­
ers of tlie church to cure deafness of
long standing. Several years ago he
uukwd the church to pray for him and lie
got better, but afterwards, backsliding
from the faith, his hearing left him.

these tidings to General Casey and to
the United Stutes senate? Will he as
well make known to his superior officer
and the senate the fact thut in his an­
nual report on coast improvements he
based his estimate of $300,000 for im­
proving the Siuslaw bar upon work
on the north channel? Will he still
further state that $100,(MX) expended in
improving the south channel—the natu­
ral highway to the soa—will give better
and more immediate results than the
$300,000 as recommended by him? To
the faithful performance of these things
on the ¡Mart of Mr. Symons, we, the resi­
dents of the Siuslaw valley and luuie
county, do humbly pray.
Sen wkin » uhth , tlie unsj>eakable lead­
er of that refuge at Kockford impiously
called “ heaven," is defendant in the
circuit court to a charge of alienating
the affections of a Chicago matron,
and will tie called upon to defend a suit
for $50,000 damages. Tlie false prophet
announces as his line of defense the
“ allowing up" of the husband's char­
acter. That husband, the plaintiff, is a
man of wealth ami comfortable income,
whose home lias been ruined by the in­
fluence of the bogus Christ. His wife
has gone from him in a manner worse
than death. His daughters are fxiisoned
with the baneful doctrine, and ull the
earth holds dear for him is sinking in
the bottomless slime of tliat “ proph­
e t's " following. The Mormons at Nau­
voo were never more dangerous to soci-
etv than is George J. Schwcinfurth.
Within or without the law there should

dictates of their own consciences grants

ty of some newspapers,
r in which all public spir-
citisens are interested, as is the
press. Newspapers who publish sensa­
tional libels against Honorable Binger
Hermann are usually safe enough from
the terrors of their own conftiences,
being protected by irresponsibility and
jaiverty of that self-accusing function.
It is notorious in journalistic circles that
certain pu|n*rs do publish any thing
about Mr. Hermann that has no foun­
dation in fact. Against tiiese journals
the law of reason is no protection, and

lan e county, it is but fair for us in his
absence to advocate a few of his meth­
ods of legislation which will be carried
out so far as his efforts can reach. Ev­
ery man who is acquainted with B. F.
Alley is as well acquainted with the fact
that he is a progressive man. Tlie only
conclusion that can here lie arrived nt is
that lie would be as progressive a factor
in the senate chain hers of the state of
Oregon as in his every-day life. People
who know Mr. Alley but know that
nothing tending to the general good of
lame county will lie left undone if he Is
elected. He is not only an advocate of
the many interests of the Great Hiusluw
valley, but is as well so closely allied by
ties of friendship to all parts of the
county as to make him one of the
staunchest friends and earnest workers
that could possibly be placed in so re­
sponsible a position as tiiat of state sen­
ator. His method of legislation is based
upon the one fundamental principle of
all success— that of progression. There
is certainly nothing more positive than
that Ixuiu county will fare well at tlie
hands of Mr. Alley. If Mr. Alley is
elected it is a pleasant assurance to
know thut he is not a man in direct op­
position, as has tiefore been the case
witli some of our senators, to matters of
so great an iu>|>ortance as the building
up of our county’s interests. The Great
Hiusluw valley feels the need of the elec­
tion to the senate of so enthusiastic a
worker as in Mr. .Alley. We feel it
would tend to our good, and we know
that what is for the good of this valley
is equally as valuable to the county
entire.
