mnls for 1SS6 to give the New York
World and the Review to all .subscribers the
same as for 1SS5. Three dollars in advance
secure Wh papers for one year. iiiSo will be
a great political year in this country.
Look Here. We make another offer to
our many subscribers: We will furnish you
with the "Practical Fanner" a weekly 16 page
pajier, established 1S55 publi-.hcd in Phila
delphia, and the Review, for one year for
$3.25 in advance. This is the best ofler
made to fanners, stock and dairy men. Price
of Farmer $2.00 per year. '"
The S. S. Concert. The M. E. Sunday
school concert held at the church last Sunday
evening was an eminent success. A large
audience, the recitations, declamation-;, the
songs and speeches were good. But best of
all, a collection was raised Tor sabbath school
literature for the ensuing year, which amounted
to $22. 12. Thus in three consecutive Sun
days we have raised about $70.00 for such
purposes by collection. This certa;"'7 speaks
well for our little city. . ... ;
The Posn i vist's Pkayer.- In a sermon
at Cornell University, Dr. -Abbott gave this, as
the prayer of modern Tosilivists: "Our
brethren whiqh are on the earth, hallowed be
our name; our kingdom come; our will be
done on 'ear Hi, for there is no heaven. We
will get n vhis day our daily bread. Wc will
forgive-no cspasses, for there is no forgive
ness. rVe will fear no temptation, for wc can
deliver ourselves from evil, and ours is the
kingdom, and ours is the power, and tin-re is
no glory, and no forever. Amen."
Pad muddy Streets. Our streets are
simply horrible, mud from one end to, the
other and in some places knee deep. How
.can it be remedied? why easy enough, put good
ballad, gravel and sand, and not mud on the j
streets as heretofore. There can be gotten
thousands of loads of this ballast not farther
away than one mile to the most remote street.
The stceets ought to be raised in some places,
and the most sensible way to keep any road
in good order is wholly neglected by our street
commissioner, that is to always keep the mid
dle of the road high and keep all ruts filled
and soon it will be so thoroughly packed tfiat
it will be as good or better than cobble stone,
or Niekolson pavement. More next week.
T e 1 r K u a N C E. We say again tint the
shorte.l, faire.-t, and most satisfactory way fur
this subject to be handled is to await the
the action f the next Legislature, which will
no doubt submit to the people for their vote
furor against Prohibition. Then let both Re
publican and Democrat go to the polls and
vote their sentiments, and if "for Prohibition"'
carries, then by that law Oregon must be gov
erned, a"nd if "arjmst Prohibition" carries
then let us set our triggers and try it again.
This is tlie fair way to settle all questions of
state law, and no cither way will be satisfactory
or will succeed. The motto of Democracy is,
the majority must rule. Any other method
will lc fruitless and will be in direct contra
vention to our system of Republican govern
uiliit. Let all be united, and have 110 bicker
ings, and then the right will prevail.

and then come or send at once and order
the Review. Once upon a time a certain
mangotmad.it the editor and stopped Jiis
paper. The next week he sold his corn four
cents below the market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes-because he didn't
read the sheriffs sale. He was printed
and lined $S fur going hunting on Sunday,
iimply because he didn't know it was Sunday,
and lie paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that
had been advertised two weeks and tho public
cautioned not to negotiate for them. He then
paid a big Irishman, with a foot like a forge
hammer, to kick him all the way to the news

Re AH Tins. Some parts of Douglas coun

sons coming here from the east seeking homes
while at the hotels sec at once the interest and
life manifested in the parts written about, and
they also learn names, and others come to us
?nd say, "what kind of land is in Looking
lilacs neighborhood?" and others inquire about
church and school facilities, all of which have
been suggested to their minds by the corres
pondence they read in thn 'county newspaper.
Now every precinct ought every week to sehd
a short itemif-d upon of the doings of each
particular neighborhood to the county news

On this page will be found an item written
by Bro. Bell, in which he states that "Colonel
Lane must undoubtedly be a Democrat, as
he was seen carrying half a hog into his office;
whereas, if he had been a Republican he
would not have been content with less than
a whole one.". Now,, we presume Bro. Bell
must be a Republican of the deepest dye as
he was seen groaning under the weight of a
whole hog only a short while after. The
' 'devil" is responsible for the above and
slipped the item in without Bro. Bell'!

It doesn't follow that a patient will die be

There is nothing in tho line of magic or
mystery about that wondcnul and popular
medicine, Barkers Tonic. It is simply the
best and most scientific combination possible
of the essential principles of those vegatable
curatives which act jiowcrfully and directly On
the stomach, liver; kidneys and blood. But
there neither is, nor will be, any successful
imitation of it. It is all the time curing those
who had despaired of ever getting w ell. For

It is absolutely wonderful to observe the
esprit-de-corps that now pervades the great
body of American people on the temperance
question. It is certainly a live issue, and yet
the. Oregonian just one year ago now was ar
guing with might and main to convince the
people that the St. John movement in the
presidential canvass would give the temper
ance cause a backset of twenty years at least.

"It will not be a political organ" says the
salutatory, "but they will vole the Republican
ticket, if the party nominate good men."
Nfw if you test it thus, you know the Repub
licans were never know n to nominate a bad
man. Better not set astride the fence Bra it
is not a comfortable position. "Poor Hen
dricks had many good qualities, Democrat
though he was." This is another straw that
shows which way the wind blows, as if a Dem
ocrat by nare belonged to an inferior race.

Last Monday was the winter solstice, the
shortest day in the year, when, according to
the almanac, winter begins. The day vi-as a
sort of three-quarter post on the great race
track of life, around which wc arc sped every
year. And how the pace increases as we grow
older. In boyhood the track seems a thousand
miles around. Year by year it grows shorter,
till by and by the quarter josts seem like mile
stones and then they seem as close together
as telegraph poles, and at last a man glides
by so swiftly that they begin to seem as thick
as grave stones in an old cemetery and w e 'are
distanced and our race is run. Yes, how true,
life is but a fleeting shadow, yet between our
entrance and exit we have a momentous work
to do, therefore let us look well to it that our
time is not idly spent.
Dillard Oregon, December 2 1st, 1SS5.
Editor Review: There was a meeting
held at Dillard Oregon, last Saturday Dec.
19th, for the purpose of devising upon various
methods for the extermination of coyotes and
other wild animals that are'dcslructivc to all
kinds Ot stock on the farm.
. J. M. Dillard was elected president, and
there was a permanent organization made,
known and styled a "hunting club No. 1."
There were present several prominent sheep
men. I lad it not been for favorable weather
for farming there would have been a large at
tendance. And we the members of this or
ganization cordially invite other localities to
cooperate with us in a similar organization.
This club shall consist of one captain one
president and other snch officers that are ncc-
ossary; It snail be the duty ot the captain
to select such places as he sees lest to capture
the aboved named animals. Every person
that wishes to participate in the hunt arc at
liberty to do so. The club will make a big
hunt next Wednesday. Edgar Walker.
Secretary.
A Valuable &iigtjintion.
Would it not be about the proper thing for
Congress to pass a law condemning all tramps
and vagrants to service in the United Stales
army for a period of three years? -Wc, says
the "Albany Bulletin," think it would. It
would le better for the tramps and relieve the
country of a terrible nuisance. Several states
make tramping a crime and affix various pen
alties thereto. But a sweeping law of Con
gress sending all tramps into the army, would
rid the country of these wretched vagabonds
and relieve society of their petty thefts and
worthless presence. The morale of the army
might not approximate to the highest standard
with thes;e fellows for companions in arms, but
the dificulty could be overcome by forming a
tramp regiment, or division, and when there
was any serious fighting to be done shove them
to the front and make them fight or die. This
kind of usage would make men of them, a re
formatory school as it were, and cither kill or
cure tramping disease. By all means let Con
gress pass such a law aad rid tho country of
these graceless scamps,

readers of the Review an apology, or whether
they owe me a vote of thanks for failing to

town on Thursday evening; one at the Christ

The Drain Eciio came to light on Friday
morning last, and was cordially greeted by its
many friends. The Review will doubtless
have "reviewed"' it before this, so I will add
no comments, further than to say that the
publishers, Messrs. Booth and Kuykendall

Our-stores all wear a holiday appearance,
and during the past week have done a rushing
ncss. Still, it must not be imagined that
they have only Christmas goods, or that they
are not well stocked with all sorts of goods
appropriate to the season. I went into Drain
& Co. 's store yesterday and found them just
as busy selling staple goods, and winter sup
plies as if Santa Claus actually had his head
quarters at Roseburg instead of Drain ! By
the way, those Roseburg merchants have lots
of "gall," haven't they? For an actual fact,
and in order to settle that dispute, I wish to
state that old Santa spent Monday and Tues
day at the store of Jo. Cellcrs, and Wednes
day and Thursday at Ed. Estes's. During
the entire week, his mother's oldest son was
behind the counter at father Kuykendall's
cuug store. Beside that, I saw him sneaking
in at the back door of the Drain hotel, with a
big grin on his face, and a big turkey in his
hand. The sight of that turkey had a bad
effect on me, for when I went home, and ate
a light lunch of sour krout, I retired to my
peaceful couch and had a nightmare. I
thought a giant turkey stood over me and
gobbled in a painfully articulate way: "Here's
ycr Drain Echo, fi' cen' a copy!'' And as I
woko with a start, it was broad daylight, and
Paul Sclilosser was walking quietly past my
house, smoking sour kr no, I mean cabba
no, I mean a cigar ! (You sec my nerves are
still a little unstrung!)

Jlcform Club.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a Rose
burg audience was never better pleased with a
lecture than it was last Tuesday night. Every
seat in the Grange hall was crowded, .chairs
were placed in the aisle, and many eager list
eners were compelled to stand. Hon. W. F.
Owens, the lecturer of the evening, has ap
peared before the public here before, but on
this occasion he made an impression so favora
ble that an address from him will always be
welcomed. In his remarks, refcring to the
different laws enacted to suppress crime, he
made a strbng impression. In answer to the
speakers who opposed prohibition he com
pletely annihilated all their arguments. Quick
in manner, never at a, loss for words, and
speaking as rapidly as a stenographer could
write, he crowded into his hour-and-a-quarter
address an immense amount of valuable matter.
His ideas were clothed in choicest words, and
most graceJul rhetorical figures. In his clos
ing remarks, including an appeal to the law
makers of the land, was a gifted effort, and a
most finished conclusion to an admirable lec
ture. Character song, "The dmnkards child''
by Miss Sallic Tibbcts, deserves special men
tion. It was a very pathetic piece, and reflects
much credit upon the little songstress and actor.
The play "Testimony" was indeed a very clev

TUB SCMATCUJSD BILL.
The Salem Statesman not long since ealled
on Mr. speaker Ready to rise and explain who
it was that drew a pen across that bill of his.
W ell we suppose the Statesman did not "call
loud" enough for him to "hear." Surely
the Statesman did not insinuate that he did
the deed, yet some are on the track of the
person that did do it . To suppose that Keady
did do it, would certainly be a very violent
supposition, yet some say that it is in the range
of possibilities for him to perpetrate such a
crime. It has come to our ears by an officer
of the senate that he, Keady was the last to
have the bill, and when a demand was made
for it, some time elapsed before the bill could
be found, and when it did appear the pen
stroke was across the face of the Enacting
clause. This Gov. Moody did not hold as
sufficient to invalidate the bill, for which much
praise is due him. Now Mr. Keady out here
in Southern Oregon the people would like to
har what you know about this matter, if we
can make our voice penetrate the fastnesses of
the Calapooks and direct the corpuscles of
sound so that they will gently fall on your ear
in Corvallis. i We feel that you are entitled to
exoneration ko far as the hint has gone forth
from the Statesman, and the people want to
know what you have to say about it.

something more definite or accurately, what
kind of a country Oregon is especially the

northern part, the nights are too cold for corn.
The climate is most important of all; I would
like to imigrate to a healthy country where
the climate is a little more milder than in
northern Ohio. Where corn and peaches can
be raised. The winters are ton In

we had killing frosts on the 9th, 10th, and
