The contractors for the new bridge are
now busy at work driving the pilitg for the

of the liver. J
Henry Buckley, of Elkton made us a
pleasant call on Thursday of this week.
He was in the city on business. We found
him the same staunch and reliable Democrat
that he Mraa before the election.
A noticetihle feature of the Fourth of July
doings which we omitted from onr.last
week's issue was the balcon ascension. It
took place after we had gone to press
and was highly pleasing to the little boys
aud girls who were all asleep and failed to
see it. j
i
W . G. Woodward loaned to Grand Mar
shal S'ocum one of his (inely finished sad
dles from the shop for the Fourth of July
parade. The new saddle with its grand
trappings set o(T the lusty Bueephelus to
good advantage and gave them quite a mar
tial appearance. i
A. E. Severance, the aHist, who has been
with us for time nicntl.s, m ill remove to
Oakland and open his gallery at that place
next week, and remain j there during" the
month of July. He wi 1 remove to his new
building in Fortland the iirst of August and
establish a permanent g:iliery and business.
Mr. Severance is a splendid artist; his
birdseyti view of Rosebnrg is one of the best
pictiires of the kind we have ever seen, aud
is well worth the two dollars which Mr.
VWsh, who has the ag ncy, charges for it.
About one o'clock Tuesday morning two
destructive lircs occurred in the city Jof
Portland, almost simultaneous'', one in
the north and the other ill the southern ex
tremity of the city. The large two-story
frame builiing own id by M F. Mu key,
situated on the northwest corner of Frou"
and Columbia streets was entirely destroyed.
The old and new Couch; hotels located on
North Front street, a little be'ow the Albina
ferry I mding, caught about the same time
and v e.e entirely destroyed by tli3 flan.es.
It WPS with the greatest exertion of the fire
department that he fames were prevented
from si reading.
The Saces-
Our reporter, a one-horse ccn;irn, took in
the races at this place oh the afternoon of
the Fourth. Having only saun a few race
courses in Io-v York, Kentucky, L luijiana,
Illinois, California, and last, but iinmeusest
f a'l, at the fair grounds, in Salem, Oregon,
he Mas enraptured with, yes, with some un
speakable something when he feasted upon

fruit and is Iarg?r t!in rtn avora.i Oitrich
egg. It is just as largo as the areage would
permit, more or lot;?, 'aeeording to size.
There are so mrny turns, so often repeated,
so many tangents, sines and cotangents par-
ulle'logrami and hypotenuses that a hoise o
mental calibre would first grow bewildered,
then "how come yn so," and end up with
ti e delirium jim jams. ! All this, however,
did not phase O d F.iJly. The tir3t race be
tween him and the Looking Gksi horse at
the start showed some sprit, but" upon the
third heat it was evident' that the latter had
overdistanceil itse't wh. lit Old Certainty had
only began to appreciate the fun. Tht sec
ond race, single dash of a milcj, between
Bally and Jem Winston, resulted in favor of
the former. The latter horse is cestainly a
beautiful animal, but was too young and
green for such a track. There is a promising
uture for this horse. The pony raca was a
cool, comfortable affair, i Four horses started,
got two abreast, the foremost being about
two hundred feet in advance of the couple in
the rear, and they all came in upon an , in
definite length of time,! and, we presume,
went leisurely home. Really, our reporter
is not wi'd with enthusiasm. He saw better
racing in his palmy days when he was a. poor
innocent cow boy. But the managers are
not to b'atue land won't stretch, for if it
did the elastic consciences of some of our
bloated landed monopolists would have
stretched their farms all over our county.
Every available foot of 1ml was uti'izil
and as much made out of it as the "little
peut-up Utiia" wouil permit. It i3 a
shame that the project ! for an agricultural
society does not receive more encourage
ment. In the event it succeeds there will
be no excuse for the absence of a good race
course one that will rcfleot credit upon the
county and do justice to competing horses.
This is an enterprise that will prove of con
tinuing benefit to our county and wiil
amply repay every cent investeJ. We
again beg those most interested to let not
this important matter go under now.

I have tho honor to submit this, my first
annual report. '
There have only been two alarms of fire
during that time, as follows
The first oecerred on th evening of Fdi.
4th, 1334, at the shr-p cf M. Sullivan, sitr.atp
on west si.Ie of Jackson, between Washing
ton and Douglas streets. Cause of (ire un"
known. The department respended iirompt
!y, but the bro was extinguished before then
services could be utilized. The damage
was nco; sideralilc.
The second occurred at about 10 r. 1.1 ,
Feb. 12th, JS84, at tie result nee of Rev.
John Howard, on Main street. Cause t f
fire not satisfactorily exphiiued. Loss of
building total, Much persona! property was
saved. The fire department wa3 prompt'y
on hand and worked tfucently, preventing
the spread of fire. Damage, $2000.
The apparatus and property of the com
pany are in excellent condition.
I am pleased with the personnel of both
companies. They are composed of active,
efficient and zealous men. There are en
rolled as active firemen as oliows: Rescue

I have spent much time and labor in en

such information as may prove of benefit for

A Runaway-
Wedneeday attemoon some work
horses which had been left tied to a
wagon near the Grange warehouse, be
came frightened at the cars and dragged
the wagon by their rope halters to op
posite Hendricks' saloon, when the two
of them broke loose and made a lively
run up town and turned down Jackson
street. Mr. Humphrey's horse and
buggy were standing in front of the
bank. Toe horse became frightened at
the runaway steeds an 1 made a lively
run of it until attempting to turn the
corner at Joseph son's store, when the
rapid speed of the firey steed was sud
denly brought to a halt by the buggy
overturning and throwing the horse and
jamming its head and shouhlei'3 between
a trea and the sidewalk on the opposite
side of the street. The buggv was
somewhat damaged and the harness
pretty badly broken up ;nd tho horse
somewhat bruised. The horso remained
lying where it stopped until extricated
from its uncomfortable position by the
crowd. Fortunately no serious acci
dent or damage occurred.
Elephant Bathing. Colt's Great
Show stopped with us on its return
from Ashland, from tho forenoon -until
the evening of Sunday last. The curi
ous were treated to a fine circus in the
way of seeing the elephants bathe in

Wednesday the newly elected officers
assumed their respective duties. The
outgoing commissioners failed to appear
and Messrs. Hall and McGee had no
trouble in obtaining their reats, as they
had been left vacant for them. They
Ttent to work 'with as much deliberation
and acumen as though they had been
familiar wuh the details of the office
all their lives. We predict that the
county's interest will be well guarded
during their terra. G us Taylor donned
his official garb bright and early. Of
fenders against law aud order may look
for him to bear down upon them at any
moment. Sherifl Purdom gracefully
yieledd the distaff and surrendered tha
office with all its appurtenances on the
first requisition. The first official act
of the new sheriff Vas to feed the sole
remaining prisoner, the other two hav
ing been released by Sheriff Purdom
within a week by habeas corpus. Kim
bill had more trouble to get possession
of the clerk's office, George having
warmed the place so long was ?lpfeli ta
surrender his position. But , .witlv the
aid of the newly installed sheriff and
the county court, which was in session,
he was duly installed in the office for
the ensuing two years. WiUiam
Moore, however, was not so fortunate
in getting possession of the treasurer's
office; the returns from Latham not
having been canvassed, Moore had to
sneak in the back way and take posses
sion of the office while William was up
tovn discussing the merits of Cole's cir
cus with his sweetheart. Other of our
newly elected officers will receive clue
comment whenever they fail to come
up to the Jeffersouian test.
Excuksiox. Excursions are usually
designed for pleasure only. We hear
of one now being projected that -will
prove not only pleasurable- but bene
ficial. It is suggested that a party cf
a half dozen or more organize for a
.launfc up the east folk of the North
Umpfjua Iliver over the Cascades to
Klamath Basin. Only a short portion,
,f any, of the proposed line of travel
will present any obstacles whatever.
One day's ride wiil bring the pary to
the summit, where the lake will invite
sport for the a.igler, and the glades fur
nish pleasure to the hunters. Thence
on, the trip to Fort. Klamath will prove
a delightful one. All this will possess
sonv significance beyond eniovnunt
A surveying party is now in the Cas
cades seeking a puss over the MeKeiur;
route in order to induce a railroad from
l he Short Line to the Willamette Val
ley. The pass up 'he Umpqua is very
much lower than any ever yet discov
ered ovet that range of mountains and
nothing but lethargy will prevent our
fair county from realizing a great bene
fit by simply developing this fact. It
is to be hope 1 that such men as Asber
Marks, Cavitt, Ralph Dixon and Judge
Arnngton will take an interest in this
matter. Parties desiring to join Lithe
excursion will address L. F. Lane, at
llii-s place.

Logan as an Orator.
New York Tribune, Jan. 15, 1S75.
Pranced there in upon the arena of
the great debate, like a trick mule' in a
circus, or a spavined nightmare upon
the track of a beautiful dream, Login
of Illinois. Ihcre was a vision of mus
tache?, eyebrows and hair, piled on
each other in arches, a large brandish
ing of arms, a poso and stiiduons war
whoop, and much as though a picture
of the Deer field d stepped
out from the pages of our early history
Logan took the American Senate bv
its large, capacious oar. And then he
went for his mother tongue. He smote
it right and left, hip and thigh, ard
showed no .mercy. Swinging the
bio;'d-axe of his logic high iu the air,
he I'.n ne 1 it eie it fell, and with the
hammer side struck tho language of
sixty millions of peoplo fairly in the
face and smashed it beyond recognition
Under his stroke the floor of the
American Senate was spatteied with
the remnants of a once proud vocabu
lary, and messengeis, door-keepers and
pages were covered from head to foot
with the spray. Tn the fearful two
hours that followed the first, roar of his
oration all the parts of speech were
routed and put to flight. There were
orphaned adjectives and widowed
nouns; bachelor verbs driven lo polyg
amy and polygamous verbs left only;
conjunctions dissevered, prepositions
scattered, adverbs disheveled and dt -torted,
and syntax flung into wild dis
order. It was a great day for Logan.
He set his teeth into the language as
the untamed tiger of the jungles takes
between his mouth and paw the wear
ing apparel of the wayf:'irer, and the
ripping of it was heard through all the
forest depths. It reverberated to the
other end of the: Capito, and sluggish
representatives lifted up ihcir eyes and
listened to the ro'.ir with terrified awe
Some started off for the scene, but upon
being told the cause of the distuibance
in the brief communication, "Logan's
up," turned back with full assurance
that they could hear from that end of
the Capitol all that was worth hearing.
So through two hours Logan swung his
beautiful arms over the heads of the
Senate like the booms of a Government
derrick, whih his chin churned the
language like a pile-driver in a heavy
sea, and the baffijd reporters made wild
plunges with their pencils to gather up
his regurgitations for the printer.
Ah 1 Logan, is a great man a states,
man; when he throws his intellect into
a question, whether it is finance or selT
governraent, or of sticking to the shij
somethinr has got to come. And you
may always know where to find him
t -o wit: whera I1.3 has always been,

from the standpoint of a printer having
natural pride in his work, the results
may not always have been the most
satisfactory, yet, all things considered
we lay down the stick and rulewith

pleasant. I. Richardson.

of Eldorado water handed me for examination and
rind it to consist of the following' substances: Chin,
rine, Iodine, Carbonic Acid, Iron, Alumina Lime
.Magnesia, Sijda and orijain uiatter.
THOMAS TRICE.
Eldorado-
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
Iu sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
Iu search of Eldorado.
Eat he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell ps lie found no spot of ground '
That looked like EideradoJ
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shr.dow," 6aid he, "where can it be,
Th;s spring of Eldorado?''
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit o
suffering humauity I will state thtt the El
dorado surino is situated three miles wett
from Roseguig, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand and for pale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg Oregon."
Mr:. Ceo. W. Jonks. I'ear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgia pains in my h-;ad and cheek
bone, far several yer.rs, and hod give up all hopes of
ever setting cured. I went to your medical springs
v. it h -:y son James Hud j.ot some of the water, and
dr.uik it freely and fouiid tli.it it was a mild physio.
1 used itlhrea itnos a day for a little more than two
months, aod tht piiii le't ine and I have not felt
theia sin -e, aiid tli vt h is been 17 months ago.

Geo. W. Jonrk. liear Sir: I would here btBte to
you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies n ao
c .uist of piles (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors t hare. I met Mr. Apple of Ioe
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Wafer. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E. Champagne.
I used one-h ilf dozen bottles, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small g!a.s full.. I not. only was re
lieved, but I am certainly cured by what I used, and
than' f til for it, becanso I suffeted more than 1 can
express. I would advise any one suffering from tbii
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
h ive a:iv oeea-don to Use this statement do so. You
are Rt liberty 011 mv account. I think this is the
least I can do for yoa, ai I was cured by it. Be
s-cctlally yours, JULIAN JOSEPH.

CEO. W. JONES: Pear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Kldorado Wat; r and was not on
ly surprise! but highly gratiflej with the result. I
have for many yejrs been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of iiepsin known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the u:-c f your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate
relief and in a short time, if rontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any .who will avoid irritating
stimulant.?, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L.F.LANE.

From Mr. M. W. Parsons, last August, I received
one bottle of the Jones Eldora lo water, from Dr.
Hamilton i f Rosebursr. Cscd half a bottle for -a-tirrh
and can fully re-ionnnend it fcr that dreai'ed
disease, as I have not been troubled with the o m
plaint since. I D. T. SEARS.
I have also used the Eldorado spring water from

satisfied with the result, as I was bothered with ca
