At the last meeting of the Plulalla

down. A committee was then ap
pointed to prepare a programme for

contribution for the occasion is of a
high order and the entertainment for
the evening will doubtless prove very
interesting.
The Runaway Match.
The lust number f the Coos County
Argus says : The runaway match
from Camas Valley.in Douglas county,
terminated in the parties being mar
ried at Coquille City by Justice Dean
The parties appeared in Empire City
and procured a license by preseuting
what bad all the appearauceof a writ
ten consent from the parents of the
bride, and by complying with the
law in making affidavit that they
were residents or Coos county. Of
course, it is a bungled up muss, for it
could not be a runaway with the con
sent of the parents, but our clerk was
not informed as to the matter ; and
even if he bad been, be could hot have
acted differently, unless he knew posi
tively that the "consent" was a
fraud. Matters bad become too se
rious to withhold the license, and it
is best as the matter stands.
Holmes' Testimony.
Oliver "Wendei Holmes in a recent
letter, stated that for fifteen years he
had without change written with one
single gold pen. Oliver Wendei
Holmes is one of the most prolific of
American writers, and if a gold pen
lasted him fifteen years, in ordinary
business, a gold pen should last any
one else half a century. Therefore a
gold pen is a profitable investment,
and now that Dr. 8. Hamilton has
such a complete assortment no one
should fail to purchase one. Every
one can be suited, and the price of the
pens !s within the reach of alL Every
pen is warranted to be of Edward
Todd Go's, manufacture, and they
are the best makers in the world.
Pens sold from 85 cents upwards.

A Ready-Made Family.
On the 11th day of November Mr.
David Lennox was united to Mrs. M.
A. Bolsinger in the happy bands of
matrimony by Rev. Martin. The
happy couple were joined with a large
family already in existence, and had
reason to think they are saved of con
siderable trouble. Mr. Lennox is the
father of six children and Mrs. Bol
singer the mother of three. The mar
riage at once made a family of eleven
members. We certainly wish the
happy couple prosperity. With a
large family and no helpmeet it is dif
ficult for either man or woman to
make both ends meet; but with two
together there is but very little trouble
when both do their part.
Accidental Shooting.
Jimmy Stevenson, on of H. W.
Stevenson, last week shot himself
through the hand with a seven
shooter. The pistol belonged to an
other boy, and Jimmy borrowed It to
show how good a marksman he was.
He fired away, and waa in the act of
passing the weapon back to its owner,
when it was discharged, the ball pass
ing through his left hand. The
wounded boy is recovering rapidly,
and the wound inflicted by the bullet
will prove nothing more than a lesson
against the careless nse of firearms.
About Ready,
The work on Henry Beckley's new
flouring mill at Elkton ia about com
pleted, and will be finished about the
commencement of the holidays. The
mill Is pronounced by those who seen
it to be first-class in every respect, and
will be managed in a manner which
will give general satisfaction. We
wish Mr. Eeckley success in his new
enterprise, since the mill fills a want
long felt in the section in which it ia
located.
Church Sociable.
There will be a.church sociable held
at the residence of Mrs. J. F. Watson
next Tuesday evening (25th) for the
purpose of providing"' means to pro
cure wood, lights and other necessary
expenses for the Presbyterian church
of this city for the coming year. Such
Boclables are held only once every year,
and all Interested in the church's wel
fare should attend.
V Narrow Escape.
Mr. Charles Hall's house at Oakland
caught fire in the roofing from a defec
tive stove pipe last Sunday morning,
and for a time there was considerable
excitement. With the aid of ladders
and a few buckets of cold water the
fire waa extinguished without serious
damage. Charly has since built a
flue.

- HANDS1ME PRESENTATION.
A Masonic Testimonial to ' a Brother.
There was a pleasant Incident in the
Lodge room of Uuipqua Chapter No
11, last Wednesday evening or rather
Thursday morning, for the ceremonies
of conferring degrees extended into
TauKriay morning. After the degrees
had been conferred, and the new mem
bers invested with the title of Royal
Arch Masons, Hon. Binger Hermann
stepped forward and presented Mr.
W. JL Friedlander with a gold-headed
cane and a silver pitcher and ice-bowl.
B. Hermann, H. P., made the follow
ing address in presentation, which we
only summarize : :
Most Exceixent Cohpaniojc :
Your companions of Urormua Chanter
of Royal Arch Masons have this night
imposed upon lue the pleasant duty of
presenting to you tntse testimonials,
in proof of their fraternal regard and
recognition of your valuable inbora as
secretary of Ui Chapter. Masonic
tradition informs us that in the build
ing of the Temple operative Ma-sons
received as nourishment, orn, wine
aud oil, and that as workmen in the
quarries pr?seuted their work for in
spection aud approval they received
i their wages. For long years, indeed
biru. al itin ll-io tfiblitittifkn f f1..ritliil..
masonry nere, you nave raithtuiiy
wrought among us, and as well pre
served the archives accurately and
fitly recorded all matters proper to be
written, and by your industry, skill
aud fidelity as a Royai Arch Mason,
aud your upright aud regular conduct
as a man, you nave commended your
self to the sincere and well-merited re
gard and affection of your companions.
The . record of ; this Chapter, aa the
Most Excellent" Grand Higlj Priest
now present will attest, have uot ouly
received the hearty approval of the
Most Excellent Grand Chapter of Ore
gon, but as well at its express admira
tion. Thus you have reflected high
credit upon yourself, and a distinguish
ed honor upon your eutire Chapter.
But as it is the internal, not the ex
ternal, qualifications of a man which
speculative Masonry most esteems, so
to night we equally discover to you in
this tribute our humble appreciation
of your social aud moral worth, which
we cannot fitly expresa in words. And
when in the hour of refreshment your
eye rests upon these silver tokens, or
in old age you shall lean for support
upon the cane, your thoughts will :
doubtless revert to this pleasant mo
ment and to these companions, and
may you then ever find comfort in the
assurance that whether iu sunshine
or in storm, In health or in infirmity,
the courts of our Tabernacle will be
ever open to you with a greeting of
fraternal welcome ; and now, com
panion, in last worda of cordial prayer
permit me to say ; "peace be within
TUY WALLS."
The presentation came upon Mr.
Friedlander when he expected nothing
of the kind. As secretary he had sim
ply performed nis duty, and the only
reward he expected was an acknowl
meut on the part of the members of
the Chapter that what he had done he
had done well. He had no prepared
speech, and consequently whatever he
spoke were the utterances of one
doubly pleased, and who had found
that his services had been appreciated.
Mr. Friedlander spoke with feeling
when he said :
Most High Priest and Compan
ions :-The surprise the presentation of
these beautiful presents causes me(and
I do not kuow that I deserve them) is
rather great ; besides, my oratorical
education having been so sadly neg
lected it would be folly forme to make
an attempt even to reply to the elo
quent remarks of our Most Excellent
High Priest. I will simply say that
I receive these presents in the spirit
that they are given, and I thank you
for them. j
First, imay belaid, Mr. Friedlander
has been secretary of Umpqua Chap
ter No. 11, since its organization, about
seven years ago. That he has per
formed his work well, the presenting
of the testimonials(for such they must
be properly esteemed) amply testify.
The head of the cane is beautifully
carved and of heavy gold embracing
the entire crook. The staff ia of Ore
gan mahogany. There is a setting of
gold-bearing quartz, and neatly en
graved is to be found the following in
scription :
"Presented to W. I. Friedlander by
members of Umpqua Chapter No. It,
R. A. M Roseburir, Oregon, as a token
of their high regard for his faithful
ana valuable services as secretary.
Oregon, 1879 "
The pitcher, goblet and ice-bowl are
of solid silver, the latter two gold
lined. The carving on the three arti
cles is exquisitn in design. We have
not the space to describe their beauty,
nor could we state the value Mr.
Friedlander puts upon them. The
pitcher Is thus i ascribed :
"Presented by the members of Umo-
qua Chapter No. 11, R. A. M., Rose
burg, Oregon, as a token of brotherly.
November 21, 1879.'
Since the Chapter adjourned the
presents have been kept on exhibition
at S. Marks A ro'a. store where they
have been shown by the! r happy owner
with no inconsiderable pride and grat
ification.
FROM UMPQUA FERRY.
There Is some talk of retting up an
invitation ball here on Christmas
night.
J, R. McKinney took his departure
on the 18tb, after a sojourn of a few
days, for Gardiner, to visit his pater
nal roof.
G. A. Thomas la at present farming
the land lately oecupied by D. II.
Shambrook, and is intent we think,
to fast become a Granger.
Albert Clayton, one of our most
energetic young "gents," has purchas
ed several head of work horses, lately,
and intends Grangerizing on a large
scale.
Plowing, .sowing, etc., are once
more the principal features among the
farmers. Considerable grain is put
ting forth its appearance, and tie
valley presents a spring-like appear
ance, while old Tyee frowns down ma
jestically upon the quiet, yet indus
trious tillers of the soil.
The dance at this place was not as
largely attended aa was anticipated
owing, however, to high water and
some of our too much trusted citizens
going back on their heretofore much
valued word; ' but contrary to the
prophe- ies of " Mother Grundy," no
one was intoxicated, and we can say
without fear of successful contradict
tion, that a more orderly set never en
joyed "the trip of the light fantastic."
We believe we shall always hereafter
ioi low we aavice or we Bible, con
cerning raise propnets. The supper
was the most remarkable feature of th
ball, and all know that Aunt Kate is
never excelled in that line. Taking
all in all, everybody enjoyed them
selves " hugely4' and did not regret
their coming, Several parties were
called away, to whom the people here
owe much to their generosity to par
ticipate in the pleasures of a ball in
the new store of Sampson Sutherland
on the Swale.
I strongly recommend the use wf
Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypo
phosphites to all who suffer in any
way from or weakness of the
Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, or general
debility. J. H. W. Bcott, M. D., Gage-
J town, N. B.
FLAWMER JiEARD FROM.
The Rascal Does Sn Francisco and is
. Canxht.
Flammer, the swindler who robbed
L. Stinger at Cany on vl lie and after
wards other parties on Coos Bay i
has again been heard from. After se
curing the mule and the $80 from the
man to whom he bad been recom
mended by G. Mehl, Flammer went
in the direction of Crescent City
When about half way between that
place and Empire city, Flats mer sold
the mule to an innocent party,' and
embarked on a vessel bound for San
Fiancisco. Arrived there be had some
cards printed and repiesented himself
a-t a partner of Veit Schultz, of Jack
sonville. Schultz is one of the "mul
doous" of Jackson county, and in San
Francisco he has fine credit. Flam
mer, therefore, had easy sailing, and
hobnobbed with the merchants and
wholesale dealers. Had he been con
tent with this there is no telling where
his rascality would have ended; but
he thought the partner of Schultz
should wear a flue gold watch, and
accordingly he weutto a jeweler who
was acquainted With the Jacksonville
man, aud told him that Schultz de
sired the jeweler to send him a fine
gold watch. The Jeweler was willing
to do this, but wanted to know what
kind of movement Schultz desired the
watch to contain. Flummer wanted
an extra fine watch, and when the
question came as to the movement of
the sanfe lie hesitated and was lost.
He thought be would go out and
make some inquiries as to the best
movetneut possible in a watch in or
der that he might secure the best, and
while he was absent the jeweler tele
graphed to Jacksonville. The answer
came back at once that Flammer was
an im poster, and when Flammer re
turned to the jewelry Btore there was
an officer ready to arrest him, and he
was taken iuto custody. Flammer is
now in jail in San Francisco, and will
undoubtedly go in time to San Quen-
tin. The rascal deserves warmer
quarters.
INSTALLATION.
On Wednesday last J. C. Fullerton,
R. Newcomb, A. F. Campbell, J. R.
N. Bell, James Wright and George
Beath, brethren of the mystic tie, left
here for the purpose of Instituting
South Umpqua Lodge No. 72 F., and
A. M., and to install the officers of
said lodge. We must acknowledge
that these gentlemen must take con
siderable iuterest in Masonry as the
gentle dews of Oregon were descend
ing in torrents and the roads were in
such a terrible coudilion that it was
hardly fit to turn out a dog. After a
hard and disagreeable ride of nine
hours they arrived in Canyonville
where they received a hearty welcome
from the members of the fraternity
residing iu that vicinity. On Thurs
day afternoon a . meeting of the Lodge
was held and duly instituted by Bro.
J. C. Fullerton, Deputy Grand Master,
assisted by the visiting brethren.
This lodge has been acting under dis
pensation for some months previous.
A n election of officers was had and U.
H. Merrick was elected W. M. ; D.
Camlin, S. W.; C. Beadman, . W ;
J. Arzner, Treas.; J. Blondell, r-'ec'y.;
D. McCathy, Tyler. At half-past
seven in the evening the brethren met
in the Methodist church where a pub
lic Installation was held. The church
was well filled with the citizens of
Canyonville, quite a large number of
ladies being present, which was quite
unexpected as the weather had proved
so unpropitious. The ceremonies were
opened with singing by the choir, fol
lowed by the installation of the
officers by J. C. Fullerton, D. G. Mas
ter, assisted by R. Newcomb, D. G.
Marshal. After the interesting work,
more singing was had and Bro. A. F.
Campbell delivered a very interesting
address on Masonry, followed by Rev.
J. R. N. Bell In a few very appronrta'e
remarks, closing by singing and
prayer. The visiting brethren are
loud in their praises of the manner in
which they were entertained during
their visit.
Affray at Canyonville.
The town of Canyonville was all
agog on Thursday last on account of
two of its residents being arrested for
the crime of an assault with a deadly
weapon. The facts as we learn them
are as follows : About the 24th of last
month Mr. Hutson, who is in the em
ploy of Wm. P. CShea, saw some dogs
running sheep belonging to Mr.O'Shea.
Mr. H. informed Mr. O' Shea of the
fact and search was made for the dogs
that committed the depredations. They
were found to belong to Mr. Shultz,
and Mr. O'Shea called on Shultz in
regard to the matter and Shultz said
if his dogs were the guilty ones
which he did not believe he would
pay for all the damage done. Tbla
was not entirely satisfactory as Mr
O'Shea procured a gun and revolver
and with Hutson went to the residence
of Mr. Shultz and then and there shot
one of the dogs. Mr. Shultz was pres
ent at the time and protested against
the proceeding and attempted to in
terfere. While so doing O'Shea drew
his gun on Shultz and commanded
him to "stand back or take the con
sequences." O'Shea and Hatson were
arrested, had a preliminary examina
tion before Justice Parsely and were
bound over to appear at the next Cir
cuit court Hutaon giving ball to the
amount of $200 and O'Shea $300. Con
siderable interest waa manifested dur
ing the trial. Lane and Campbell ap
peared for the proseention and Gazley
and Colvig for the defense.
At His P4 Again.
We are pleased to announce that
"Pappy" Stroud is once more at his
post as conductor of the Oregon and
California passenger train, and happy
to know thaThls family has recovered
from their late illness. There ia a no
more popular gentleman in the coun
try than Mr. Stroud, and the patrons
f the railroad are all pleased to bear
bis cherry voietT singing out once
more, "AJiboard!"
Pioneer Gone
Thursday afternoon Mr. Spen-
D. Dickenson, an old pioneer of
Oregon and the father of Mrs. P. B.
Smith, departed this life at Yoncalla
at an advanced age. The deceased was
a genteman well loved by all who
knew him; and what every good man
should hope for, be leaves behind
in this world many sincere friends to
mourn bis death and In the Spring'
time strew flowers upon his grave.
Pleasant Afikir.

was given at the new ball of Mr.
Sampson Sutherlln, Fair Oaks. Thlr
ty-flve couples were In attendance,
and parties who participated in the

Important
Negotiations
eluded.
About Con-
Negotiations have been pending for
some time between the representatives
of the New Idrian Cinnabar Mining
Company, of this county, and capi
talists of Portland, looking to a finan
cial arrangement whereby the compa
ny will be able to complete the ; plans
already so near success, there will be
a meeting of the company at Oakland
on Saturday 22d, to determine what
will be done by both parties ; and the
Outlook for a satisfactory agreement is
flattering. The mine ia conceded by
all to be a bonanza, and the only ob
ject of the meeting is to examine arti
cles and papers of the company which
being found correct, will virtually
settle the bargain. An arrival at this
consummation will be the opeulng
of a flow of wealth Into Douglas coun
ty, and a deserved handsome return to
the leading men of the company for
the risks they have run, and the ener
gy an bullion expended by them.
Wea(.h to Douglas county,, and to
Southern Oregon, is bound to result in
the. opening of undeveloped mines.
The cinnabar deposits at the New
Idrian are known to be very extensive
and rich. The completion of the works
already commenced at the mine will
inspire confidence among capitalists in
our iresourees, and infuse prosperity at
home.; : .
IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE SALES
The property formerly occupied by
Philip Desonzer has been sold by the
owners S. - Marks a Co. to Sarah
Francis Strange ; the amouut of the
consideration was $1,400. This prop
erty consists of house and lot .
Marshal Iugrahim, during the week,
purchased the farm of Mr. John Ledg
erwood, paying $8,000 for the same.
The farm consists of $600 acres. MrT
Ledgerwood will soon take his depart
ure for Eastern Oregon, where he will
build up a new home. The best wishes
of every business man in the county
go with him, and his friends include
everybody. Certainly all will testify
that he is an honorable gentleman and
deserving the confidence of all with
whom he may be connected in busi
ness. Our warmest wishes go with
you, John, and from this time hence
forth we hope yours will be an easy
road to travel.
CALAPOOIA ITEMS.
Wild ducks and geese hare
made
to be
their appearance. They seem
quite plentiful.
The heavy rain storm caused a stop
page iu the rarmlng business lor a
short time only.
S. Leatherwood ia making prepara
tions to commence farming in Green
valley, and on a place recently rented
of J. R, Dodge.
The average Calapoola hoodlum

A question frequently asked why do
the successful business men of the
county advertise in the Independent?
Because the Independent has the larg
est circulation of any paper in South
ern Oregon.
The other evening, aa one Calapoola
young men whispered loving thoughts
in his dulciua'a ear a voice piped out
near by from under a pair of dilapida
ted bedsteads, and exclaimed, "Get out
of here, you son-of-a gun." The young
man has not been back since.
Miss Adda Mires, a highly esteemed
and respectable young lady of this
place, we are sorry to announce, la se
riously 111 with typhoid fever, but un
der the skilful treatment of Dr. Vena
ble, of Oakland, and close attention
served by fond and loving parents, she
is convalescing. ; -
We are called upon to notice some
mora of the Star's Idiotic slang which
appeared ia last week's isaue. It is
easily perceived by any intelligent
minded person that the correspondent
has no principles about him whatever,
and we deem it useless to waste paper
and ink regarding such low down, de
spicable character, who is respected
no more than a brute in his communi
ty. We hope this will be the last time
we shall be compelled to notice him.
