Bel lows, Adj.; Omega Oaks, Quarter-master; Dr. J. Woodruff. Surgeon; David Aiken, Chaplain; J. W. Thompson, O. of the D.; James Moore, O. of the G. and A. J.

One week ago yes terday, while Dr. Woodruff was at the le: i dence of Mr. John Jones alout five miles from this city, a cur of nine years and one hundred pounds avordupois, (icl his - lushes securely in his right hand. The Dr. who by long ex perience has learned the proper use of his feet in time of war, planted his foot in the region of the enemy's diaphragm so solidly that Iris canineship capitulated and departed this life on the dawn of the following morn. And thus ended the battle. The Dr. still carries his arm in a sling, but withal that, he has taken a solemn, binding obligation on a stack of bicycles forty feet high that no creature of the dog kind with malice, aforethought or evil intent shall tra or. 3 terrestrial scenes with in reach of his pedal extremities without sad ly imperiling his mundane existence. The Reform Ci.r'n. --The atton-Un-e at the. Grange ln'.l every Tuesday evening is re markabie, a;vl slims that the people want and approve of a temperence society in this city. Last Tuesday evening anotiier large aijjl thoroughly appreciative audience was present at the Reform club to hear the speaking, sing ing and music, and to witness the exercises of chc juvenile aclors. The address delivered by Hon. E. G. Harsh was indeed good in many respects; oratorically it was an able effort. Mr. Ilursh spoke fully half an honr and from the moment of his opening to the closing peroration' the audience observed the best attention. A speaker at the present time w ho talks against prohibition merely because he thinks that he is upon the popular side of the question by being with the majority, h lia ble to be badly distanced al any time, from the fact, that the transition of this question may take place so suddenly that he may be talking to the minority instead of addressing the majority. You can't .always sometimes tell when a boy becomes a man. Rev. J. W. Miller and W. F. Beujamine appeared under the head, of five minutes speeches and it is not necessary to state that they spoke strongly in favor of prohibition and directly lo the point. Col. John Lane read an interesting ankle giving an account of the healthy condition of aflaiis in Coweta county Ga. which did con clusively prove that prohibiten ditT prohibit crime of every description in that county. The remaining exercises of the evening were received with the usual favor. I Ion, W. F. .Owens was selected by the executive commit tee to address the Club at its next regular meeting, Tuesday evening, Dec. 22, 1SS5. Secretary. LOCAL ItREVlTlES. Ho for the city bakery.

I Let Un friends of prohibition take courage and press toward the mark of their high calling in de livering our land and country from the de mon alcohol. Another voice is heard from theEmpcror of Russia yet, twenty days and oo.oocTSaloons will be over thrown, only think of 90,000 intelligent men la) ing down these anns of rebellion against the law of sobriety and Christianity.

The following from John Fullerlon of Can yonville, a life long Republican, in the Plain dealer last week, makes it look like we were alxnit correct in the Riddle controversy where in we said "that he (Mr. Riddle) did not rep resent his constituency correctly."

Editor review: This city, the largest in the northwestern corner of the Union is but a small city, yt it has managed to attract the attention of the whole nation from the Presi dent to the humblest office seeker. How? Simply by the persistent and intemperate aggi tation of the Chinese question. What is it they say about the dovil making a workshop of an idle mans brain? Well, it is hard times and men all out of work. They have lieen trying to find a cause for it. If Blaine, had been elected President many would have said "There, I told you so." Now that the Dem ocrats are in power we Republicans are ache ing to say "that's what you get by electing Cleveland," but we in this Territory did not help to elect Cleveland so wc have to seek for some other cause for hard times. In our search w c paid little heed to the tariff, imports, over supply, the effects of labor saving machinery, soulless monopolies, the liquor traffic or any of those questions so frequently discussed. We happened to see a Chinaman with a bas ket of clothes and We shouted "Eureka! that's the rat in the meal bag and the cause of all our trouble!" O those dreadful washhouscs and those fearful cabbage peddlers! The gigantic liquor traffic and its innumerable ruinous re sults was not thought of. -The land syndicates and railroad corporations, stealing the very ground from under our feet and robbing the poor man of his homestead were not noticed. We shouted "The mote! The mote! and came near killing ourselves stumbling Over the beam. No doubt we would have had a hot and bloody time if Uncle Sam had not sent several hundred of his boys up here. The sight of them with their belts loaded with shells had a soothing effect on our irresponsible aggitatOcs, and now our little city is as quiet as a mill pond. But we have not escaped without a stain. Every right minded citizens is humil tated by the thought that we, a city of 12,000 inhabitants, are so destitute of military and police force as to permit less than a dozen blatherskites inciting the thoughtless masses to threatened riot, arson and bloodshed. Thirty well armed and determined men could have nipped the whole thing in the bud. But wc lock the stable after the horse is stolen. We are ready for any emergency now and Un cle Sam's boys ned not expect to bo called on again. Mathew II. Carpenter. 1'vojn-r Treatment for Coin.

Editor: I write to. cheer you up from the effects of that terrible ? blow from last week's Coast ilail. I dare say it has been heavy on your nervous system. But why this throwing when all our houses are so glassy. Since the M ail has chosen the Douglas coun ty papers for a target, it is not surprising it should out of contempt of course 'refuse to capitalize the name ol Grave Creek but just why it attaches an "e" to Goldcn's motto puzzles us.

Editor Review: I am not in the habit of writing to Editors but I'll suspend that rule for this time and send you a few items from this isolated section of Douglas County, which may probably be of interest to some of your many readers. News is somewhat scarce, consequently I will not worry you witli a very lengthy letter. Things around Myrtle Creek hare been very peaceable ever since last Court. I hope to see the day that all the young men of Myrtle Creek will Ijc Prohibitionists, better be that than to always be full of whisky. Christmas is close at hand and we contem plated having a Christmas tree, it was the in tention to have it in the Church house, but the Committee that tends to the 1 louse ob jected, consequently it has fallen through with and the money that has been collected for the occasion I understand will be returned to those who gave it. Some of the seats in our now Church have been very badly disfigured with knives and pencils, some Very vulgar words have been carved on themith a pen knife and under loot arc great puddles 01 tobacco juice. Such people ought to be ashamed to be seen, and if I were them I would "call for the rocks and mountains to fall on me and cover me up" so that I would never be seen. Our school here under the management of Miss Annie Kent is getting along nicely. Anna is an excellent teacher,' asgood as we have ever had in Myrtle Creek. I Icr schoel will be out in a fewjweeks, and we hope she will remain here and teach the next one. The widow Hudson of this place has moved lo Canyonville. She leaves many friends here and we hope she will meet with many where ever she goes. II. Dyer our good looking merchant has laid in a new supply of goods. Call on him while they arc fresh, and he will just get up behind the counter and pull off his old black hat (I hope some body will get him a new hat Christmas), andjsell you everything in me store encap lor casn. rrom tne way our young clerk at Selig's is conducting him self among the fair sex of late I think hecon- templatcs matrimony soon. Who did he go home with from church Sunday night? Echo answers vflfio? Nate is a good fellow and I want to see him prosper, but we would advise him to look out for the old gentleman up the creek. The bay horses and buggy will go to Canyonville again next Sunday. Does any body underslaud it? I don't, and the girl in the upper end of town says she don't either. Mrs. Drake Jias the finest flower garden we were ever in, and Jcstin Wright has the next. Mr. Editor if you are fond of music come up to Myrtle Creek and hear the band, stay all night and see how you like it. One of our young men has just recovered from a very severe attack of the jug, and he says he hopes he will never have the pleasure of falling off a portico twenty feet high again. His overcoat is still in Canyonville. Tom McKean is able to be out on the street again. Mrs. Iladley is still confined to her bed. Lou Gabbert is considered the prettiest girl in Myrtle Creek. A Traveler. A nice assortment of Boys overcoats, rang ing from 2 years up, at M. Josephsons. Looking Ha Items. Items scarce. Times dull. Farmers all quite busy. Mr. David B. is a frequent visitor to the valley, rumor says there is a pair of bright eyes that lures him on. The subscription school here is a success. Mr. Fitzgerald is the right man in the right place, he will surely succeed. Also Messrs Waters and Lawrence have en gaged to cut five hundred tier for different parties, good boys go on you will strike it yet. Mr. J. W. Carter put in his familiar coun tenance a few days ago from Albany where he has been sojourning for some time. Here is our tST John. " Now Ulysses be careful how you travel up the canon for there is a pair of cr6ss dogs on the way but if you will let the owners know they will tie them up If you want lo have a good time you must call on Carter & Majors at their home up in McCoy gulch where they w ill entertain you in the most hospitable manner. The citizens of Looking Glass are making an effort to organize a Prohibition club we say good speed for it is needed here from the examples seen occasionally on the streets. As you pass along you must step in at Wm. Cochran who keeps a w ell selected slock. I le will furnish you with a fine fitting suit or any other article in his line at bed rock prices. Quite a number of our young Gents have engaged in the lucretive business of cntting wood. Messrs Carter & Majors has con tracted to cut an immense amount for Mr. Coston. If you want a good job of work on short notice you must call on Dave Noah for he is always at his forge, besides Dave is always ready to relate to you something that will make you laugh and grow fat. Christmas is coming and so is the grand time that is expected on Christmas night, when there will be a grand ball at the hall in Looking glass by Messrs. Waters and McKin- ney good music will be furnished for the occa sion. Rex. A JUtAnitACK. One has well said that "one of the principal drawbacks of Oregon's material growth, and the development of its resources is the impres sion that every other man almost, must be a merchant or some sort of a professional. I Ience the number of consumers and traders have more than counterbalanced the producers. What Oregon requires, in the way of a certain and abiding prosperity to build up and sus tain its commercial and agricultural interests is a class of laborers, mechanics and farmers. The honest yeomanry of soil, have in all ages constitutedthe bone and sinew of a people's strength. How many farmers in various parts of our state, have from three to five sections of land? If on these broad acres rich in fer tility that have never yielded anything, but a meager crop of grass, were located home steads, inhabited by a class of energetic farmers, how soon would our whole state "blossom as the rose." The extent of miner al and agricultural resources of Oregon, will afford a good support, and an ever widening field of usefulness for thefuture, for a popula tion of a million, as well as it does its present numbers. A little episode of a painful turn took place at the wedding supper at Joseph Carlon's Wednesday evening. Four young, yet eligi ble ladies were at the supper tabic, whereupon some one asked who of the number present would be the next to get married, when one of the young ladies, quick as thought, re sponded, "the first one that gets a proposal." And modest and bashful as we are, we felt that it rounded more like truth than poetry. Shiloh's Catarrh Remedy a positive cure for Catarrh, Diphtheria, and Canker Mouth. S. Hamilton agent. GOXB BEFORE. The brightest flower will fade, the fairest leaflef wither, the blushing rose, as well as, the pale slender lily, is subject to decay.. So is all mortal of the earth, earthly. Oblivion waits us all. So it is through a former issue of the Reviev wc notice the death of our young friend Miss Avarilla Shrum, which occured Nov. 26, 1S85, at the residence of her father, Thomas Shum Esq. She was twenty-four years, three month of age. Being yet in the morning of life, full of energy and hopeful anticipations, with health glowing ot the cheeks that never knew pale ness, life seemed just opening for her in nil its Ixrauty. But, Hark! the Master calls and the calmly answers. Passing away without a struggle, even smiling after death. Miss Shrnin contracted a severe cold, dis ease laid a firm hold uporP her, and before her parents hardly realized it beyond the reach of the best medical skill. Every means was, used to save her precious life, but to no avail. Friends' realized that she must and watched with tendercst care the expiring lamp of life burning lower and lower until ihc last faint spark was dimmed by death, ' and she was called away after a very brief illness, from a large circle of sorrowing friends, who are sad indeed, to think we shall greet her no more this side the spirit-land; although we wear the robes of sadness, and silenced is all our mirth, we would not wish her back to share the cares and toils of this life for, "A greater Joy, and larger light than ours, surrounds thee there." To the bereaved parents and sorrow-stricken brothers.and sisters we extend our heart-felt sympathy. May they be given strength to bear their grief, and ever remember that, "Behind the cloud the sun still is shining. " May God bless those who remain lingering in this vale of tears and be ready when the summons comes to meet the loved one gone before. "Dear is the spot where Ava sleeps, And sweet the strains that angels pour. Oh! why should we in anguisn weep? She is not dead but gone before." We call her dead, and mourn her loss, Because her dear face we see no more. Ramcmbcr, and light will be the cross, She is not dead, but gone before. E. A. C. A Letter from Jackson Oounty. Mr. Editor: I thought I would drop an item in your lox that you might know my whereabouts. I have Ijcen in Jackson nine teen days and have been in the saddle most of the lime and lyave not been able to ; visit all the points of interest, yet I am well pleased with the outlook, and my congregations are good. There is doubtless a glorious future for Jackson county. I am placsed with the climate and the people. There is a spirit of enter prise being manifested here that is bringing this county to the front. I think that the town of Tallant on Wagner creek is the paradise of Jackson county. Land is worth from $50 to $200 per acre at that point and jiIIj readily at those figures from two to ten acre lots. We are having beautiful weather and the farmers arc making good use of the time in plowing and seeding. I was up and visited my old friend Potter at Ashland, he is happy, in his beautiful home, he has very valuable propertyj he is a good and true man. Our P. E. when last heard of was going towards Williams creek with a load of poultry. I suppose he had a grand Thanksgiving and I hope you did also as I did I, spent the day at Mrs. Isb's and did justice toagood turkey. J. R. Roderts.

Review: In an editorial of last week, the Oregonian says: . . .certain settlers recently made up a purse and engaged the surveyor-general of Oregon to make a contract to survey their district. The work was done, but when under government authority and in accordance with government rules and re ported to Commissioner Sparks, the contract was abrogated and so it goes for ' nothings The Young's river settlers are out of theif money...." Now, .every surveying contract has the ex- press condition, that work shall not be done until the surveyor has been notified of the" approval of the contract by the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Further, ever one depositing money for U. S. surveys rc cejves a certificate, which is taken from any one by the receiver of a U. S. Land-office irt place of cash for the payment of land. So this money is not lost to those settlers. The Oregonian says also:".... in two instances the settlers have paid $14,000. . .(for survey ing) the contracts. .. .haTe been abrogated bf Commissioner Sparks. He is afraid, he say of frauds. ..." Well, as a general thing, settlers on unsttf veyed lands, are jxwr and it either took a good many settlers to make up the $14,0001 (which would survey at least 20 townships) of but a few capitalists furnished the same. In the first instance it shows a large settlement, which was entitled to have its surveying done by contract, payable out of the general fund; but in the other case those few furnished $14,000 had other thousands ready, for the purpose of entering all desirable lands, in ad vance ot settlers. The presumption is, that Commissioner Sparks (by the Oregonian "he is new to the business,") knows what he is doing. Wm. Thiel. m A Yalunble Medical Treatise.

Editor Review: The time has come when every man must stand in for his own rights and intrests, and the first thing that calls my Dutch temper to rise is the way working people are imposed upon by men put in power, by the voters. As soon as they get in office, the first thoughts, how shall I make the most money out of my office, ' now I will help Tom raise bis salary and he willlielp me raise mine; it makes no difference to us the tax-payers will only have to work a little harder to pay it When we Voted for the State Constitution, they fixed the salaries moderate, but they raised nearly all except ing those that common men can fill, such as State Senators and Representatives. WTicn the Grangers got a few officers in the Legishi -fc ture they made a move to reduce the Hees of the Sheriff and Clerk, the law was set aside as no good and they still get the same fees as they did before. The County Clerk makes more money in one year than two stock ranches with a capital of $25,000 and he has a good room all furnished with wood, pa per, ink, and stamps; and all the business inside, no hard labor of ten hours per day, and. he gets from the hard working tax-payers from $4,000 to $6,000 per annum. Next is the Sheriff; he has a little more to do but he re ceives twiee as much as any one who works at any kind of labor, and this is wrong; and there is the County Judge who had to have his salary raised at the last crazy legislature from $600 to $800 when he got too much be fore." The office ought to be abolished and elect three County Commissioners and also a Probate Judge to get his pay for Probate business and not make the tax-payers keep up a court for the purpose of selling estates. My letter is getting too lengthy but I will say tliat the laboring class are imposed upon by the high taxes and high priced smart officers. Thjs must be changed, and the officers must have less pay, and less number of - them, and tatter ones. Think of these re marks and vote accordingly. G.W. Genger. -mw - -, A Letter J'ieked Up.
