Highway Roijijery. Last Friday night a
young man from au adjoining county wandered
away uow n to the Deer creek bridge at an un
timely hour, and was called upon by two road
agents to contribute to their necessities, one
persuaded with a cocked pistol in the young
man's face, while the other went into his
pockets and extracted therefrom $7,50. It is
thought these agents are local and the officers
are working ou the pointers they have, and it
may be some one in this town least expected
will be made to blu:,hfor shame.

23inst and all members and sojourning com
panions are expected to be present on the oc
casion.. G. A. R. election. This organization is
doing good work for the mutual benefit of
each other, and at the same time they are pre
serving the integrity of the old army. The
following arc the officers elected at their last
meeting in this city. K. G. Ilur.h,
Post Commander; J. G. Flooi, Sr. V.
C; E. F. Walsh, Jr. V. C; A. J. 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. Bellows
was elected representative to the next Depart

No. 2) G. A. R. will hereafter be held on the

Bitten by a Dot;. 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.

As we gave Trof. Russell's school at Oak
land a short visit last Monday, there was a
class in latin in the recitation seat, and we
must say that it was a credit to any teacher
to evince such thoroughness as could be seen
in the analysis and pointing of thesentenances
as they were read by the Prof. The drawing
Department by Mrs. Russell looks like a
gallery of art, and she need not feA the critics

of an excellent pedagogue-ess. You see our

Editor Review; Atlanta has fallen after
twelve hours bombarding w ith shot and shell
from the Prohibition's army at 6 o'clock v. M.
of Nov. 26 18S5. King alcohol surrendered
the city. He heard the warning voice yet
40 days and the Rum owcr would be over
thrown but he heard not the warning voice so
the king was found in the last ditch. 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 demon alcohol must
go, let us work while the day lasts, least w e
we come short of our duty. F. R. I lux.

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.

Mk. 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. If the Mail man had his remain
ing three or four columns printed in San
Feancisco, I presume you printers would have
a tough time holding your own with him.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

REFORX OVERDOSE.
Ed. 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.

A Yalunble Medical Treatise.
The edition for 1886 of the sterling Medical
Annual, known as Ilostetter's Almanac,, is
now ready, and may be obtained, free of cost,
of druggists and general country dealers in
all parts of the United Stales, Mexico, and in
deed in every civilized portion of Ihe Western
Hemisphere, Thi3 Almanac has been issued
regularly at the commencement of every year
for over one-fifth of a century. It combines
with the soundest practical advice for the
preservation and restoration of health, a large
amount of interesting" and amusing light
reading, and the calender, astronomical cal
culations, chronological items &c, are prepared.
with great care and will be found entirely ac
curate. The issue of Ilostetter's Almanac
for 18S6 will probably be the largest edition
of a medical work ever published in any cotm
try. The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter
& Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., on a receipt of a two
cent stamp, will forward a copy by mail to any
person who cannot procure ono in his neighbor
hood. 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.
