Sheriff Aiken is In the city. Miss. Orilla Baker Is In the city, visiting relatives. A couple of freight teams arrived In this city tbls week from Jacksonville. Business has commenced reviving, and a brlsksprlng trade is looked for by our business men. . Dr. Hamilton's counters now pre sent a handsome appearance, having been remodeled and repainted. ' Invitations to the masquerade ball hive been Issued, and It i thought that there will be a large attendance. John McCulloch's loss by the fire at Oakland amounted to at least $300, instead of 50 cents, as reported by the Star j - Acting upon the suggestion made, the independent central committee will meet at this office on the 231 or next month. j Plnce arriving here Mr. James W. Hamilton has been kept quite busy attending to law matter in the land office and elsewhere. Our old friend, J. McCarty, now at Wilbur, paid Roseburg-ft flying visit Thursday evening. He was accom panied by Capt Hall. We had a pleasant call from Capt. Tichenor, of Port Orford, Friday even ing. The Captain Is certain that Port Orford has been selected as the place for the port of refuge. We believe the backbone of winter Is too trong for anybody to break it, and hereafter we want it distinctly understood we don't propose to play the weather prophet. A great deal ' of grain will be sown late in this county this year owing to the continuance of freezing weather, and perhaps we will have much (o say of rust in wheat next summer.

LIEUT. bUELTOVH FUNERAL. the WalU Walla" Statesman fives the following account of the burial of Lieut. E. H Khelton at Walla Walla by the military: "The fine band of the regiment, under direct ledership of Mr. Erastus Walker played that grandest of solemn airs, The Dead March In Saul." Arriv ing at the cemetery the procession led to the open grave, which the troops and immediate relatives surrounded, and the-coffin was soon lowered to its last resting place with all tbe honors Rev, Robt. Boyd again offered up a prayer, after which three volleys of musketry were fired over his grave. Then that solumn dirgo of Mendell sohn, "The Last Resting place," was played by a quartette, led by Mr. Walker, in a manner we never heard equalled, and the last of the brave and honorable soldier was covered from view and the cortege slowly dispersed. The funeral was very largely attend ed by our citizens aud : their families who paid this last sad tribute of respect to one whom in life they all loved. Tbe de ceased was on his way here when death overtook him, and his many friends were ready to give bim a gen ial welcome. As a man he was all that could le desired, open handed and generous to a fault, loved ty his brother officers aud respected by his men, whom he could lead anywhere. His loss will be felt as much by the country at large, as by his own regi ment to which be was a credit. We understand that a monument will be erected over his remains by his broth er officers." News From the North. From Mr. Wm. Patterson we learn quite a number of interesting items from the northern end of the county. Superintendent LJulefleld is now at Coos Bay at work on the breakwater. The mill of Henry Beckley is Com pleted and is in fine running or der : the flour manufactured at this mill is generally pronounced to be first-class in every sense of the term. The Hinsdale mill is the ouly one run niug at Gardiner. At that place the echoouers Bobolink and Leeds and another vessel are bar-bound on ac count of the rough weather, which prevents the tug coming to their as sistance, i ifteeu Vessels are bar-bound at l oot Bay on account of refusal of the tug boats to take the chances of towing tlu-ni to sea. Mr. Jay Shepard, Esq., has taken up a school iu scottsburg, and is quite popular with all who know him; aud work men are engaged in completing the bridge across Mike creek whicu takes the place of tbe one destroyed by the last great flood. Mr. Patterson has re turned home. Mrs. ' Kimball Dead. Mrs. May KimlKtll, eldest daughter of Mr. E, M. Moore, and wife of Mr. Gaorge W. Kimball, departed this life in this city on Thursday, of con sumption; aged, 23 years, nine months and nine days. The remains of tbe deceased will i be buried in Masonic cemetry to-morrow (Sunday), and Rev. rwlok will preach the funeral aormon. Mrs! Kimball was born In Roseburg, aud from early childhood to the day of her death she was loved by all for her sweet disposition, her pure life and gentle manners. Everybody was her friend, and all Roseburg to day deplores her death. But from her birth she was but s fragile flower, and it seems that from the beginnlug : it was Intended she should die early in life. She must now be happy; for no one doubts that she is an angel In feeaveu; and Iben tbe Father always knows what is best. Her loss is, how ever, a severe affliction upon j hei hus band, her little motherless babe, her father and other relatives, all of whom have the deep-felt eym pathy of a sor rowing community. . , Glass Ball Casters. Mr.Jos. S. Aiken is in the city, look ing as handsome as ever Mr. Aiken is here for the purpose of selling coun ty rights for the sale of Adgate's Gliss Ball Casters, a new ana valuable in vention. To describe tbe many uses to which the casters may be put and to speak of their many good quail ties, would require more space than we have at our disposal. The musicians aud piano dealers of Port land recommend them very highly iu in another column, anil those who have seen them here in towu declare they should be attached to all kind of furniture. There is no doubt that the casters will have a rapid and geueral sale, and in a very little; while will be considered as a necessity about the house. Mr LAikenbaWa great num ber of different sizes with him, aud will give ail necessary information to those who apply to bim. He will re main but a short time in the city. School Matterti The school law provides that "Dis tricts shall not be entitled to their proportion of the scliodl fund at the disposal of the county ccbool superin tendent unless they shall report to him by the first Monday of March of each year." Also that "when a dis trict has forfeited its school money, no recourse whatever shall be had to obtain tbe same." J. W. Htrange, dep uty superintendent, informs us that but few districts have fo warded their reports to bim and wishes us to call the attention of clerks to this matter. Clerks should immediately take the census of tbeir district aud report to the superintendent as soon as they can. Many incoirect reports are re ceived and have to be returned for correction, and in this way tbe proper reports will be received too late to al low district to particijmte lr the school fund. Therefore, it is necessary for clerks to hurry up their reports. Grading the Streets. Surveyor Hurlburt is at work surveying the grade of Jackson street. There has been no 'report as yet made by the surveyor, but Wj learn that the work of grading will be car ried on to fill up below to the bridge, and when completed will leave several houses above John Lehnher'a furni ture store four or five feet above the level of the present sidewalks, and in several instances will be a heavy tax upon property-holders. We bear al ready many complaints, and may argue that tbe money to be expended on the survey might have been more profitably employed lu the construc tion of water works to put out fire. A 11 tug Squirrel, A flying squirrel was killed across the river one day during tbe week and it wa a Hue specimen of its spe cies. It was sent to Professor O. B. 'FOOLS NUT ALL DEAD YET." This was the expression made dur ing a little game of "atralght-poker" at Winchester ft few years ago that is before Roseburg consisted of more than two houses. Those were "The daya ofold, tha daya of gold, And tbe days of forty-aine." And though it was not exactly '49, it was ft similar year to that described in the popular song from , which we quote. Fifty-dollar slugs those eight square pieces which now dazzle tbe eyes of others besides the impecunious lawyers, printers, etc were as easily obtained then as ten-cent pieces are now, and when It came to "straight poker." men played on the' "square" at ten dollar "antie" and twenty dol lars "blind" or got the top of their beads "taken off" if they forgot the re spect due " geutlemeu," and was caught cheating. Then we had but few . men who thought they were otherwise thftQ poor when they had ft couple of thousands in in their pockets, and no " broke" men. Then ft barrel of port wine and ditto of whiskey were rolled Into the street (there was but one street) in Winchester on Saturday night, and horse racing, Imbibing and straight poker" were the pastime from Satur day evening until Monday morning The gravel bar that now stretches outeatttof the old townslte furulshed the race-course, and "straight-poker' levees were held in the stores or when ever else the opportunity offered. Well, it seems that the hero of our story was indebted to a man residing near W inchester to the amount of three thousand dollars; and having taken the required unmount lu over tbe counter of the public bouse be; was keeping, he tied the money up in a cotton handkerchief, aud started ft-r Winchester on foot. Arrrlved there he was looked after by the "boys,' and tbe man to whom . he owed the money was not there. He wanted to returu home, but the "boys" purauad- ed aim to remain and attend the dance that nras to be given there that night. The dance came off as per for mer announcement, aud he attended it. The 'boys" then persuaded him to "Indulge" ouce or twice, or three or four times twe cannot say now many, nor can our heo) In old -'chain lightening," and then came a propo sition to play a quiet game of "straigli'- poker." All right. A quiet place was found and toe game was commenced. At first the game went slack, but du ally tbe "pt" reached the matter or seven or eight hundred dollars. Jut theu our friend seemed to have a "good hand" and bet squarely ft cocl couple of thousand dollars. This amount overaized the gamblers' pile, and they did not "call tbe bet;" but oue can eatily imagine tbe feelings of the "boys'1 who: had "woiked up the game," wiieu our hero smoln a smile, "raked down the money," showed be had but two "deuces." and remarked: 'Well' the fools are not all dead iu this county yet," and theu "jumiied the game'' satisfied witb his nfght's work. The "boys' were mad, as a matter of course. They weut to the stores, to the U- S. Land ofllce and elsewhere and borrowed all the money in town, hoping to get our hero into another game, but to no purpose. He wasn't a fool, aud had proved that there were yet three living, aud witb nearly $1,000 more in his p oet than be expected to have when he got to towu and settled up with bis creditor, he simply remarked for the second time, "and tbe fools are not ail dead yet." e would give names, but all tbe par ties engaged in tbe game are yet liv ing aud claim that they have "reform ed." New Law Salt. We are informed that since tbe last decision of Judge Kelly was made public, to the effect that priorty of lo cation amounted to notbiug, and that anybody has a rjKht to "jump" and take away another's property by vir tue of the right of "jumping, " the Galesvllle And Canyouville road com- nauv Propose at out to "jump" the Squaw Luke Compaoy.s mining ground, owned by Judges Kelly, Bell inger, Hanna ftnd otners, and iu case of opposition will appeal to Che su preme court, thinking tuat it is a poor rule that won't work ootli ways, aud expect a decision in ttieir favor.

Our old friend, E. M. Davidson, is erecting large ftnd commodious dwelling on Hubbard creek, which undoubtedly suggests matrimonial intentions. The present storm has caused ft great deal of the stock to present a lank ap pearance, and unless tbe weather mod erates soon it will do considerable havoa, especially among tbe sb v th.it are on the outside. : John Philips, a former resident of these parts, is among us, aud is putting up a boot aud shoe shop at this place. He is a shoemaker of long experteuce aud we hope be will do well iu that Hue. : H. Wagoner, who has been running ft blacksmith shop here all winter, has removed aud is now erecting a shop at Clarkesbursr. : Will KauiD has taken charge of this one here and will coin- meuoe operations in a fe w nays.' Ho is ft good workman, and acknowledges few if any superiors. The subject for controversy here for the last two weeks has principally been religious and we think its most darkened parable aud mysteries, will be brought to light if it still continues to be handled by such able expounders as Messrs. Peters aud McG-owan. We ouly hope for the best, but fear differently. Two of our senior hoodlums have concluded that they will not be con tented with -their portion of Oregon, but as soon as they raise sufficient funds they will make good their de parture for tlbe mote congenial clime of California1. - We, in the fulfillment of a point of courtesy, mourn their de parture, but conclude that a geueral immigration of such trash would be highly beneficial to this community. The majority of the farmers iu this section seeni to be greatly depressed by the storm! which has been preva lent for the last two months. It has just stormed enough to prevent farm ing and has kept cold enough to pre vent the grain that has alaeadv been wwn from growing, feliouid it turn warm it will take a while for the grain that is up to galu Its former stave of raukness, but we hope, and do believe that February, which is the favorite month among all the farmer, will be a good mouth. If such would be the case there will be a larger acreage of grain sworn in less time thau ever this country has uehelil. CMPQUA UEOKOE. corrxspot; deijce. Cakyoscville, Jan. 7, 1880. t EDrxoBlMOBPEKDKjrr: The canyon road case is gettiu worse and worse, Th encouragement given to that competition has done no good, but that fact -will beforgotten when we come to consider "the many benefits the public may receive, by reason of the great and good principle or law "invented" and aunom.ced for the "first time" in that caw. I say "in , vented," for I have been told by good lawyers that there Is no decision like it, to be found la the law books, i uen ptr Kiiuols and Patrick. C. J.. are certainly entitled to the credit of In venting this nru doctrine And the I Charh River Br die vs. War ren Bridge, 11 Peters, N. 8. R. p., 420, and Indlau Cauyotiville road company vs Robinson,- 1 CaL, R. p. 619) cited by the Judje-s shvn that they "knew" it to be ft "new' doctrine, but they were simply too modtst to claim the credit due them, for ttie decis ions lu those cases are not at all like the canyon road case.. And this new doc trine if car tied on! will without doubt give me t he traHWwH between Kme bur and Portland for "public good rather than privske gain," for I can better afford to carry passengers aud freight at half-price than the present owners can at full price, a the road ost me nothing aud has cost the pres-t-nt owners large sums of money. Now all that is necessary to crry out this doctrine is to have men for judges of the supreme court Who will row above and disrejiaid ail Kttle scruples of con science iu regr.lf "vested rights" aud " right .of, Individuals" when those rights ouaie in conflict with the interests ot U&'ptXie tT of the Ana eut curiae and mafce such decisions as te want. In PeteTimpie and Patrick, C.

Theu with these three men on th (ttinreme bench all will be Well. I have heard it stated by some that the court could not take private property like the railroad for the public good without compensation, but t know it cau be done, for it a done iu the canyon road ease. And It can be done agaiu, jmt as easy a the "feats of str-ugtU " are erforiued by the "stioug mau" lu the circus; the ease with which one of these feats (tossing the heavy bells) Is performed is well illustrated by some of the learned pott iu these lines (no allusion to lawyer Ball of Roseburg in bis Oak laud cases) :. , '13l!, btlls, ballf, balls kS heavy aslsad.

We understand that our friend, H. Cole, did not succeed very well as the agent for the Plaiudealer, during his trip to Gardiner and ' Scottsburg. When he returned home he looked like the man who had been in swim ming aud some one bad carried off his clothes. Tbe partnership of tbe Star and Plaiudealer is eauaiug much unfavora ble comment among tbe intelligent people.

The public land commUwloners, ftp- pointed by the last congress, report that there re 1,200,000,000 acres or l.m.l vet 'iinsnM. This Is What generally called 'governmet land,' and is scatteied through all the wet em territories with a small fraction yet uusold in Florida and Texas. The coniniitrsiouers state that 800,000,000 acres of public lands have been sur veyed and sold during the last cen tury. Moat people will be surprised at these figures, as the general opinion has beeu that the greater part or our public lauds had already been sold. It will lake another cen.ury, in an probability, to dispose of these lands the price of which is 1 2 per acre. Hence there are "homesieaus" lor generations yet to come. IT LAND NOTICE.
