HcAvTbSAV
Important to the Entire State.
Last season Mr. L. K. Hedgpath had
some late sown grain which runted, and in
stead ot doing as many would have done, ha
oat the grain just belore the stalks had ripened-
in fact, went yet green, and loosely
piled it op. His idea in so doing was
to experiment a little. The wheat thus rusted
and eat ripened in the pile, and when it was
.examined theheads were found filled with the
plumpest of grain, and the wheat threshed
therefrom of a superior quality. The wheat
was out when the grains were "stiff dough,"
end it is established by the experiment that
the sap from the stock con tinned to pas
into the heads until they were filled, and
the sun ripened the grain long after it was
cut This is something new to us, and
probably will be to many farmers of large
experience ; and as there is considerable
grain in the oounty a filiated with rust, we
would like to hear of the experiment being
repeated. If the result will bold good in
all cases, rust will be robbed of its terror to
our grain producers hereafter, and its ap
pearance in fields, will show them that
very often they nan commence harvesting
.early in damp as well as dry seasons.
Growth of the City.
According to the lately returned city as
sessmml roll the property in the city is
valued at $325,815 ; the amount subject to
taxation, $279,005 ; the voting population
and families foot up to 667, and this cud
pnses only one-half of the population ; the
total population is 1.334. The inereeae
in population during last yea; has been
over 20 per cent, nod to-day, tliere being
no vacant houses, many families are "camp
ed out" wailing f.ir the completion of new
Imildings. It is the opinion of JudHe Fits
hugh that were fifty more new houses now
completed over and alove ti.ose now under
way, th-y would be filled inside of a single
month. From this condensed statement, it
ia easily to be seen how rapidly Roseburg
is growing.
Tellurium Mine.
Mr. J. R. Jennings earns down from the
"Tellurium mine during the week. He re
sorts the main tunnel now in the aiifa of
the mountain 452 bet and still being rapid

of forty feet have been cut through, and the
last strike is the greatest yet made, show
ing plenty of free gold to the naked eye.
An assay of the ore will bo made shortly ,
and the result given the publie. The mill
is about ready for work.

MORE SOUP.
TJader the saptioa el "That Dotation,"
the Star gives as more soap or transparent
gruel oa the appropriation made by the
County Court for the publication of the
fiusnoial exhibit of the oounty as aa adrer
tisement. Our eutemporery labors hard to
make an argument in fa tot of its unjust re
marks made last week, but it is not to be
pittidd. Instead of worrying its brains to
further persist in a wrong it hastily com
mitted, it should have coma oat boldly and
admitted its error; the taak would have been
easier aad the conscience lighter. . Ia the
first place, it is not necessary for as to say that
it is not the spirit which contends for econo
my ia publie expenditures which causes the
Bfcw's grumblings; any one ot common sense
will readily see this to be tine; proof is fur
nished in the complaint made that the
County Court did not give "other papers an
opportunity of making a bid for printing."
I, then the fuundealer furnished aa ex
ample which the Star might righUv copy
after hen it acknowledged it would have
taken the advertisement and the $25 if they
had been, offered that paper. There should
be honesty in argument as well as in any
thing ehw, and the I'laindealer was at least
honest iu the main point at issue.
That the Star would nave taken the ad
vertisement fur $3, we have never doubted.
That paper has published an advertisement
for nothing, perhaps more times than once;
at any rate, it dni publish the Fourth of
uly advertisement two weeks alter the
ourtb of July had passed, and probably lor
the purpose of aoouoiny in type-setting.
tfertainly, under auch ciroumstenoes, and
with these facts beyond dispute, it is no
wonder that the Utar could afford to publish
the exhibit f jr $3, since it would thereby get
that amount for the space tt f jr two weeks
at least oousidored as worth nothing.
As to the statemeut of the Standard that
the exhibit of Multnomah oounty has not
been published fur several years, we care
nothing; but for the benefit of tbe Star and
(standard we will simply ask both to refer to
the files of the Daily Oregonian of last year.
It will require but little time end less time
to find proof of what we stated in this eon.
nectiuu with regard to Jackson oounty. The
Oentiiiel and lime of week belore last and
last week but a published the exhibit of that
county aa an advertisement, and aa those
papers exrhange ith all the Douglas ooun
ty papers, the atar ean in a lew moments
turn to the files and fiud that we are correot
beyond a doubt.
it matters not whether the Star denies or
not that air. Cook sanctioned the appropria
tion. Air. Cook is able to speak for himself.
and we are willing fur biin to do so.
.But is not the atar firing into Uemoorats
as well as Kepublioans when it makes the
statement that the leading article of Inst
week, in this paper, was paid fur by the ap-.
propria tiout 'that article said no more in
lavor of the County Board than of Messrs.
Cook, Hogan, riheridan, Wright and
Strange. It looks as though tbe hfar is of
the opinion that these very efficient officers
are either very parsimouions, or that they
would steal fzo from tbe count to buy a
newspaper notice with. Nobody will believe
the titar in this much, and if it continues to
put this construction upon the acts of the
Board, it will but send forth something no
one will believe, and in the end meet with
the reward of unfair criticism. And we feel
it unnecessary to defend either of tbe om-
eials named; they are too well known to the
people of Douglas county as honorable gen
tlemen for us to waste space in repeating
what every one is eouviuoed of.
As to the question, whether the Board
did right or wrong, it is easily answered.
In the first plaoo the members of the Board
are presumed to be sensible men. This ad
mitted, then it must be acknowledged that
they had the right to judge for themwilvra.
It they thought that tbe Independent was
the nght paper in which the advortisenen t
should appear, they were disinterested
judges as to the merits of the three papers,
so far as iceneral circulation 18 oononruea,
and if they thought the publication of the
advertisement in the Star would be worth
nothing, lh-ir action in the premises must
be taken as the evidence of disinterested
witnesses in a court of juatioe is taken, and
fairness demands it should not be disputed.
If their evidence in this mattet has made
the Star publishers "sore in spirit aad weak
in flesh," they would show better judgment
were they to ktep the matter to themselves.
