A paper was circulated in town
Thursday morning for the relief of a I
distressed family of Immigrants which
had lost an infant member. It has
been said no odo deserving of sympa
thy suffers in Oregon. There should
have been added, there is a warm and
sympathetic heart beating In every I
Oregonian's bosom.: The wantsof the
family were liberally supplied, and
the dead baby was put in its last rest
ing place as neatly and with the same
exhibition of sorrow as might have
attended the burial of the son of a
Prince. All who helped in the good
work should find reward in the single
thought: "God loves the cheerful
giver."
What a Dream Will Do.
The other night a passenger having
a through ticket, started through the
canyon on one of the California and
Oregon Stage Company's stages. He
was a drummer, and we would pub
lish his name but we do not propose
he shall be pestered by his compag
ons du voyage. According to his
own story, shortly after he entered the
canyon he fell asleep, and horrible
dream 8 kept companionship with his
slumbers. He thought that there
was an immense house about to fall
upon him and the driver of the stage
(so the phantasy of the dream made it
appear) and he sprang out of the stage
half asleep. The fall stunned him for
a moment, and when the drummer
came to his senses he saw the stage
turning the point of the grade and be
yond the reach of bis voice. There
was nothing else left for him to do but
" foot it" into Canyonville, which he
did, and our hero arrived in Rose
burg just one day later than he would
bad It not been for the dream that
caused all his trouble.
SCHOOL LAND DEEDS.
The editor of the Star writes a com
munication to himself in this week'a
paper, and takes for his subject the
matter of the school land deeds. We
believe G. O. Hoiman has also written
a letter to the Oregonian on the same
subject. The Oregon iau : turns upon
Hoiman in a manner that clearly ex
poses the fallacy of hla argument of
law and the facts in the ease, and what
that paper says is a elear refutation of
what the editor of the Star would ar
gue in defense of his position taken in
the matter, v. -..,.,; v -
It is true we are no lawyer, and yet
it is also true we are no pettifogger.
it is a fact that the new charges on
the (art of the State imposed upon
the people are wrong, and in our opi ti
the State should pay the costs of the
new deeds. This has beeu our opinion
from the flist, though the Star at
tempts to misrepresent us before the
people.
The law quoted by the editor of the
frUar is the law of the territorial gov-
ernment of Oregon, superseded by the
law laid down in the Constitution of
the State, and in his reference to the
decision of Judge McArthua in the
case of Dolph vs. Barney, he makes a
mistake' because the question raised
was not as to the validity of the deeds
issued by county superintendents, but
whether such deeds should be admit
ted as proof of good faith on tha part
of one of the parties of the suit. This
was the opinion or disinterested law
yers, or whom we inquired before the
discussion began between the Star and
this paper, and it Is the opinion of the
Oregonian wherein there is an article
bearing in common parlance, tne "ear
marks" of a fine lawyer and promi
nent Judge.
we are pleased to see tnat tne editor
of the Star did not quote from Judge
Deadyasan authority; and in order
tnat he may find that we are de
sirous for the promotion of tne pub
lic interest, propose, that if there re
mains a doubt in the minds of "'ir
laud owners as to the law in the prem
ises, they will make up a common
purse and have a test case brought be
fore the Courts. The cost will be
slight, and all doubt set at rest ; and
theu it may be f-aind that it is better
to buy a new deed than purchase a
lawsuit.
A FEW QUESTIONS. . .
" In the Daily Standard of September
17th we find the following:
We are rather of the opinion that the
Oregonian's correspondent has got off
on the wrong track when he i tmmatea
that the Judges of the Supreme Court
are in any way connected with a
clique, from the fact that one of the
leading members of the clique referred
to has had bis decisions pretty gener
ally reversed.
Having accidentally come Into the
possession of certain facts connected
with "Junius Brutus' " letter we
we would ask the editor of the Stand
ard a few questions. Did you not at
onetime promise to print the same
communication, and did It nbVJhave
" Sunday Reading" for its caption ?
Did you not fail to keep your promise
good through fear of the Judges, pr be
cause the inducement on 'the Other
fide was the greatest ? And since yon
have acknowledged that there is a
clique in Salem and incidently re
ferred to a leaJing member of it, how
Is it you say his decisions have been
pretty generally reversed? Were they
reversed in the Greenwood, Teal Can
yon Road and Knotc cases ? Were not
his fees too great in either case to per
mit a reversal of his opinion, and his
share of dividends too large for him to
allow anything contrary to bis own
wishes?
The Stan lard cannot mean any one
elie but Governor Thayer when It
speaks of " one of the leading mem
bers of the clique." It cannot have
reference to Judge Harding; for in au
other article It protests against any
newspaper attack upon Judges of
Courts. ,

U- S. JURY LIST.
With the assistance of Sheriff Ho
gan and County Clerk Sheridan, W
S. Ladd, Commissioner, and Captain
Lawson, Clerk of the U. 8. District
Court, selected the following 120
names from the assessment roll of
the county as jurors in the U. S.
Court. Our understanding of the
matter would lead us to the opinion
that not one third of those selected
will go as jurors, since the number
taken would indicate that from the
lot only members to make up the jury
will be taken in other words, a sec
ond draft will be made from the first :

One on Van.
Saturday evening VanBuren brorigbt
from the depot a heavy trunk. The
trunk was intended for a room upstairs
8. Marks Cb's. new building-
Finding the trunk too heavy to be
managed bv one man, Van spoke to a
gentleman etandiog by and asked for
assistance. The trunk wai put in tne
room, and then Van turned to the
gentleman and said: "I'll charge the
son of a gun who owns this trunk 50
cents, and will divide witn you," ana
thereupon the owner of the trunK
quietly walked down stairs, exchanged
half for two quarters, and handed
Van 25 cents, putting the other quar
ter in his pocket. Van had got hold
of the owner as an assistant in eleva
ting the trunk and did not know it;
and it lso t even sate to say niu'"s
about it. Since we have told the story
we hereby announce to Van that we
have made arrangements lo go on a
three-weeks' prospecting tour in the
mountains the moment this issue of the
paper is given to the public-
Oakland Case Decision.

The Growth of RoseborR.
Several weeks ago we published the
census of the city, showing the growth
of Roseburg. The report made by the
census-taker was very flattering. It
is not more so, however, than the fact
that Mr. Aaron Rose has lately
dered a survey of another portion of
his farm into town lots in order to
give those wishing lots and who de
sire to permanently locate here an op
portunity to build residences. The

of being the best. The paper we read
came out victorious, the Independ
ent.
The Umpqua Ferry correspondent,
Mr. W. (we suppose him to be the per
son, your article appearing in the last
number had reference to,) Is very in
dignant over tlie same, lie assured
us, that ho never, while passing
through Mr. W. C. Burk's premises
tore down any fence. And we believe
him, as a party who accompanied Mr.
w. mtormea us mat tie, w. never at
tempted to do such tricks, but his
horse, bis infernal horse, came pretty
near breaking the fences and also the
rider's neck. You will learn bvthis, that
W is not the gu illy party, but be on your

Other Shipping Intelligence from
Donglas County's Outlet
to the Sea 1
Ehpibe City, September 19. The
weather has been very foggy here for
the past week, causing delay in the
work of the engineers making the
surveyf r the harbor of refuge. The
surveying i arty sailed out of the har
bor yesterday, but shortly after the
fog came on so thick that the mem
bers of the parly were compelled to
land at the light-house, and return to
Empire on foot, it not being deemed
safe for the steamer to attempt to en
ter the bay, the fog banging so heavi
ly over the bar.
The fog still continues. Fears are
entertained that the steamship Alex
ander Duncan is lost at the mouth of
Rogue river. Reports received here
are meagre, but generally indicate
that the steamship is a total loss. She
was reported ashore on the fifteenth
of the present month, and is now past
due here. No lives are reported lost.
The Areata sailed yesterday from
this port for San Francisco with full
list of passengers, and full cargoes of
freight.
The steamship Gussie Telfair is due
here from San Francisco to-day.

Mr. Clayton intends organizing

Everybody anticipates hard times

One of our citiaens in this vicinity
contemplates purchasing soon very
largely in real estate which lays not a
thousand miles from here. He might
buy it, and so could anybody else, but
question arises about pay day, which
kuiicks on an tne anticipatea romance.
Thethreshera upon arriving at W.

"RUST IN WHEAT.
"Sending Coals to Newcastle."
It may appear strange that Douglas
county should ship flour to Lane
county for home consumption. This
is true nevertheless. Last week several
orders were filled for flour for Lane
county at the Myrtle Creek mills, and
since then several orders from Eugene
have been received. The flour manu
factured in this county is first-class,
and there Is no better proof in its favor
than is lounu in tne lace tnat tnose
who know it best are its heaviest
purchasers.
The Grange Wool.
By shipping the Spring clip of wool
to San Francisco this year the Grange
at this place did a wise thing, and se

Moral Town.
We had the pleasure of a call from
Mr F. M. Gablert Saturday. That
ftntleman informed us that Myrtle
ireek is becoming and must be
known hereafter as a moral, quiet
town, and offered as proof the fact
that not a fight had occcurred within
twenty-four hours. He left us with
the pleasing thought that the rust had
not done very material damage to the
wneat oi mat section or the county,
stating that most of the damage re
ported done was imaginary.
Did it With His Little Gun.
The Coos County Argus says "Judge
Strahan, of Albany, was in Empire
this week in attendance on the Cir
cuit Court. He came by way of Ump
qua, and while gliding down the

The Judge carries his little gun." That
"little gun" is the best in the State,
and was manufactured in this city by
A. Buselmeir, the best gunsmith, in

house, the work being performed by
Mr. Cranfleld. The building is a credit
to the management of our Civil Bend
friends, and to the district in which
it is located. Bev. Father Dillard was
the first to open the school house, and
he did so appropriately with prayer
na an excellent sermon.

FellowB Compound Syrup Is com
posed of ingredients identical with
those which constitute Healthy Blood,
Muscle and Nerve and Brain Substance,
while Life itself is directly dependent
upon some of them.
By Its union with the blood and its
effect upon the muscles, reestablishing
the one and toning the other, it is ca
pable of effecting the following results :
It will displace or wash out tubercu
lous matter, and thus cure Consumption
By increasing Nervous and Muscular
Vigor, it will cure Cyspepsia, feeble
or interrupted action of the Heart and
Palpitation, Weakness of Intellect
caused by grief, worry, overtax, or
irregular habits. Bronchitis Acute or
Chronic, Congestion of the Lungs, even
in the most alarming stages.
It cures Asthma, Loss of Voice,
Neuralgia, St. Vitus Dance, Epileptlo
Fits, Whooping Cough, Nervousness,
and ia a most wonderful adjunct to
other remedies in sustaining life during
the process of Diphtheria.
Do not be deceived by remedies bear

tion is a substitute for this under any
circumstances.

So long as there are ills to which Sesh is heir to. and tbe cares and labors of life breed
disease, so long will it be necessary to nse medicine to counteract the evils produced
and maintain the health of the human family. Many kinds of medicine are frequent
ly offered to tbe public for one special disease and another, and if tbe truth were I
known it would doubtlessly be found that in the majority of cases these nostrums I
have done more barm than goid. Indeed seme ot the greatest evils of tbe present day
is the existence of quack compounds, which contain ingredients Inimicable to health.
and the greatest care, therefore, should be taken by invalids, in using many nnknown
drug which cannot be taken with impunity, no matter what may be alledged to the
contraiy.

Have Sold the Farm "
The heirs of the Williamson estate
haye sold the Williamson farm to Mr.
James Chenoweth for the sum of $20
aDd we learn that the farm will be
redeemed by Mr. Chenoweth from the
Sheriff. This farm is the one pur
chased by the County Board for a
poor farm, and should it be redeemed
the county will be compelled to look
out for another farm.
Much has been said in the various
papers of our State concerning the
ravages made by the rut in our
wheat, but very little bas been offered
in tbe way of prevention for tbe fa
ture, and therefore I will offer my ex
perience this year, and twenty-five
years previous.
This year I sowed wheat in Decern
ber that was grown In the vicinity for
many years. ' It was damaged by the
rust. I sowed wheat of the variety
known aa Mediterarnain same day
in the same soil seed newly imported
nto the country. Result: no rust,
heavy plump wheat, 50 bushels or
more per acre than the other. Late in
tbe Spring sowea a variety Known as
Bonora wheat, result: no rust, wheat
plump but not so prolific as other
years. Now my experience in farm,
ing on this coast from 1853 to the
present time, has been that finely de
veloped simples of any variety of
wheat brought each year from the
coast counties, and sown ia the inland
valleys, each in their season, will
withstand drouth, rust, and all other
diseases much better than seed of your
own neighborhood, and produce from
10 to 50 bushels more to the acre. Then
if this be true, and I have never heard
it contradicted by any farmer who
lestea me piaa, lei tne inland val
ley farmer send to the seashore for
such varieties of wheat as he may de
sire to sow, and vice versa, and by this
radical change of climate and soil,
sown fields of grain will be of a better
quality and yield more to the acre a
Buuii-ieut amount more to Comrni.
ate the farmer for extra cost of seed
Desiaes increasing bis chances for a
crop in a dangerous season.
The above plan with Judicious culti
vation and sowing each variety ia its"
proper season, will do much for thA
farmers prosperity. 9
