Southern Oregon Gold Find. Referring once more to the sub ject of employment agencies, a - it was brought to the public notice a few weeks ago since by the ex pose of fraudulent practices in the conduct of that business in Port land, we would call attention to a syetem that has been in successful operation in a number of the large cities of the East for some time. The plan involves a municipal em ployment bureau. Its most recent adoption is noticed in Detroit, Mich., where its results have been eminently satisfactory to all con cerned, ita operation affording a dual benefit, the one to the com munity in ridding the city of un desirable characters who are not looking for work, and the other af fecting the fortune8 of the individ. uni laborer who simply registers at the municipal office, giving his ad dress and the labor he is competent to perform. The registration is at all times open to those who are seeking the services of others, with the added advantage of no expense to either party. It has been found where this system has been adopted that men and women as well, who desire work find little or no difficulty in secur ing employment that will afford the means of a livelihood; while, on the other baud, the police authorities have a somewhat Ireer hand with the idle who bear the stamp of the dissolute. It should be borne in mind that as a city grows in popu lation a certain percentage of the latter will be of a floating character, and the difficulty in bringing the man aDd the job in conjunction in creases under the methods that are now in vogue. It is always the fact that the greater portion of this floatiug population is respectable, but failure to find work for any con siderable length of time tends to subvert respectability, and it fol lows that any movement that will remove this difficulty cannot be oth erwise than a direct benefit to the municipality where it obtains.— Telegram. Is afforded by cash prizes amount ing to $500, offered by Orange Judd Farmer of Chicago, for the best unsworn to tho question, what are the advantages of this section? Begin by telling when you settled in your preseut home, how much land you own, rent or work. Give the value per acre of improved and unimproved laud now and ten years ago. Tell whether the land is tim ber. Give an idea of the character of the soil, whether it is sandy loam or clay. Tell what kind of crops you raise, how much and what kinds of live stock, tho social, school and church advantages, whether or not fruit does well, and the kinds most commonly grown. Is dairy ing carried on to any extent, and if so, what and any other items which would interest prospective settlers or people looking for homes, includ ing a brief statement of how you started and have prospered, if you wish to do this later, though it is not essential. The contest is open to everyone of thiB locality. Its purpose is to ascertain the truth about this sec tion from the actual experience of practical farmers. It is part of a comprehensive plan uudertaken by the journal named to promote the development of this region and in crease the demand for and value of farm property. The answers should be expressed in not to ex ceed 500 words and should be sent in to Orange Judd Farmer, Chicago, 111, as soon as possible. If a large number o f replies are forwarded, it is possible that Orange Judd Far mer's special commissions to land experts may make a personal inves tigation of this region, preparatory to setting forth its advantages through the columns of that widely circulated periodical. The story of a marvelously rich gold strike in southern Oregon is interesting not only to the persons who thus stumbled upon it, but to all people of Oregon. It is a piece of great good luck to the finders, but it is also a lucky and valuable incident for Oregon. It will attract wide attention to this state, and to Southern Oregon in particular. Since one such ledge has been found, may there not be others? True, such a discovery always starts out a large number of prospectors, most of whom are doomed to dis appointment, but the general result will be good; it will mean more work, more effort consumption of products, more fuitli in Oregon’s mineral wealth, and doubtless, more Oregon gold. Some people insist dogmatically that there iH no such thing iu the world as luck or chace; that every person gets ultimately just what he plans and works rightly for and de serves. But the truth of this fine theory is not discernible in such an occurance as this. For many years placer gold was extracted in large quantities from the beds of streams in this vicinity, on both sides of this ridge, and it was known that there must be a rich ledge, from which the placer gold came. Doubt less the regiou has been prospected by many a more or less hopeful miner; doubtless weeks in the ag. gregate of tramping through those hills has gone unrewarded; and yet at last a boy, out hunting, and with no thought of finding gold, discovers it in quantities cropping out of the surface, so abundant and easy to obtain that it is said one family of seven persons mortared out $25,000 in a week. One need not call this luck or chance, if he is determined that there is no such thing; but certainly the chief bene ficiaries did not plan and work for this result. This incident shows that Oregon has not ns yet been diligently and thoroughly prospected If the stories told concerning this ledge are true, it may produce millions, and there may be, and no doubt are, other ledges as rich yet to dis covered. Oregon’s mineral wealth is as yet mostly undiscovered. It may be reasonably expected that its gold production, already much larg- or than it iu giveu credit for, will steadily increase for many years.— Portland Journal. --- » <» s s --------- The Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society, for March, has Offioe upstairs in MAUTIN BUILDING been laid upon our table.

It appears that one had stolen the affections of the other’s handsome brave “ buck.” The dusky maiden who considered her self thus aggrieved sought bodily injury upon her rival. Blows rained thick and fast for a few minutes. The aggressor was the larger of the two, and with a well- directed blow over the eye stretch ed the smaller one on the grass. As she lay there, apparently stunned from the knockout, the larger squaw, in a furious rage, grabbed the little one by the hair of the head and flung her with ter rific force against a telephone pole. Before bystanders could interfere the larger one, with a blood-curd ling yell, j.imped high in the air and landed with both feet on the prostrate body of her vanquished rival.

The Western Union Telegraph Company reports the falling off for the quarter ending in June of earn ings amounting to $157,698. There is no special reason for this, except that people are not sending as many messages as heretofore. Per haps the telephone has something to do with it.
