Johnson's and we are therefore prepared to say that they are de licious in flavor and have kept as well as any canned fruit or vegetables put up anywhere. This canning factory of Mr. Johnson will be a good thing for onr section. Hereafter we should ship no more canned fruit except to ex port. Missionary Meeting. The missionary meeting of the ladies Society at the Presby terian Church last Sunday evening was relig iously elevating. Those songs and recitations will not be forgotten. . The "Jewels" as sung by little Dollie Snider was splendid. No cross, no crown, by fourteen girls and manip ulated by Mrs. S. C. Flint was happily done. All did well. Revival Meetings. By an oversight we failed to mention last week that the revival services by Rev. Hobart ot East Portland tire still in progress at the Presbyterian Church. This week many are in attendance from night to night and considerable interest is taken in the 11 vert IrK'c Tinv fr T TK-i - .- r-. - - - w...a. ..jam v.u uui. sincere worker, pointed and fluent, and his theology is of the soundest type. C. B. RArLROAD.-rMr. Granger who is in charge-of the Southern Oregon Improve ment company came to Roseburg yesterday. A survey is strongly talked of in reference to a lyiilroad front? Roseburg to Coos Bay. Previous surveys haye not been sufficiently accurate to make an approximate estimate regarding the cost of the road. Let us have the survey then give us the road, and many nouars win be saved to Douglas county an nually. Runaway. From J. D. Burnett we learn that last Friday as Jim Jack was returning from Roseburg to Mrs. S. Moore's place in Round Prarie, when he reached the Burnett lane at the foot of Roberts hill, his bridle broke and his horse became unmanagable and ran violently along the road, and leaping a ditch, th lew his rider, and the horse turned a com plete summersault, while Mr. Jack was uncon scious for some time. Moral, always ride with a new bridle made by W. C, Woodward and no such accidents will occur. Left Us. J. C. Fullerton has been ailing for some days b licttcr-now, and went as far as Portland yesterday in company with Mrs. Fullerton and the two children, who fere on their way to vjsit rei&tivcs in Nebraska, Wris consin and Illinois. Mrs. Fullerton wilt be absent about 5 months. Mrs. W. F. Benja min also was in this company going to Chicago her old home. She will be absent about 3 months. Ladies we wish you a journey abounding with pleasure, and a safe return. Sound Advice. Peter Cooper was a' great man, and sometimes gave very sound advlte, but never anything more sound than the fol lowing: "In all towns where a newspaper b published every man should advertise m it, even if nothing more than a card stating his name and the business he b engaged in. It does not only pay the advertiser, but it lets the people at a distance know that the town you reside in is a prosperous com tmt,Uy t-i; ncss men. As the. seed is sown the fruit recompenses. Never pull down your sign while you expect 0 do business." 1 ' Roseburg Reform Club. The temper ance element of Roseburg enjoyed an eloquent and comprehensive address on intemperance from Miss Narcissa While of Philadelphia, who as an orator stands at the head of the lbt. She graphically described the injurious effect of alcohol on the system in a manner that held her audience spell bound. The Club room was well filled and showed their appreciation Tiy keeping good order. A tfpod programme was enjoyed after winch Hon. D. W. Steams was chosen to address the club at the next regular meeting, Tuesday March 22nd. W.Alexander, ' Secretary. Prize Fighting, From the Quarterly Review we sec that Mr. Hunnicutt is opposed to "prize fighting in the schools," and we are in agreement with him. He deals whh the system of bestowing prises, medals, etc., upon successful competitors in our schools. He claims that the sysleni is unfair an positively injurious, cultivating an unholy ambition in some and discouraging others. He deprecates the plan of measuring one by another, claim ing that it engenders a heartless and insatiable ambition, which only feed upon victory, not over self, but oyer one's neighbor. 1 " . : A whole car load of Roseburgers and the Junior Band are going to Myrtle Creek to night in he interest of the temperance cause, LOCAL BREVITIES.

Last Monday the spring term of the Rose burg public school opened with an unusually large attendance for tbb season of the year. Although some of the larger students dropped out at the close of the winter term to resume their farm work, yet about as many new stu dents have joined the other grades; so that the total attendance during the present terra will be about 300. Alexander II. Stephens's grave b still un- ma rked, but above the grave of Harry Stevens hb colored servant, a stone has been erected bearing the legend: "He was for many years the faithful, trusted and beloved body servant of Alexander H. Stephens. Like him he was dbtingubhed for kindness, uprightness and benevolence. As a man he was honest and true. As a christian he was humble and trusting," j ' We wbh our readers to know that we have found much benefit from usiw; Simmons Liv er Regnlator. Our trouble, originated and rendered chronic many years in India, leaves little hope of a perfect cure from anything. But the Regulator has affored more relief than all else we have, tried. Wre say this without the wbh or knowledge of J. II Zeilin & Co., the proprieters. Rev. R. G. Wilder, Ed. "Mbsionay Review," Princeton, N. J." We notice that the Corvallis Gazette some time since handles W.H. H. Grant rather roughly. Mr. Grant b the agent for the Trav elers Insurance Co. and has done a good busi ness in Roseburg for the last two or three years, and has always conducted himself in a manner becoming a gentleman while here, and has not in the least, so far as our knowledge extends, participated in inebriety or revelry. His business relations with us have always been on the square and pleasant withal. Last Tuesday afternoon while our reporter was hovering in the vicinity of the depot his attention was called to the vibrating dbposi tion of an individual who was coming up the track. He evidently was not a member of any one of the numerous prohibition clubs which our county sports at the present time. After one or two ugly lalls on the railroad which would undoubtedly have killed any one in condition of sobriety, he was finally assisUed to his feet and steered clear of the railroad I am the mote in the sunbeam, and I im the burning sun" were the words used hi a Persian poet to express his idea of words unity in creation. But this poet did not refer to 'Sunbeam Tea" else he would have found'it necessary to modify his language. 'A "mots' implies a foreign and impure substance, and as "Sunbeam Tea" b a pure, and uncolorcd, natural leaf tea, free from chemical adultera tions, the most scrutanizing eye will fail Io detect the least "mote" or sediment in its inh sion. Oh the contrary, they will find it ns stimulating and invigorating as the most vivi fymg sunbeam. Sold only in Perfection Tea Cans by Mr. Sol. Abraham & CJ. f Shedden F. Wilson, Esq., vice-prcsi(!ent of the Oregon Southern Improvement Cjm pany, and W. I1. Granger, Esq., the com pany's chief engineer, were in town Friday evening on their way to Roseburg by way of the middle fork of the Coquille. They were accompanied uy Mr. Loggie, the company's new manager. It b said that the object of Messrs Wilson and Granger's trip to Roseburg is to organize a company to survey . a railroad from Huntington, the terminus of the U. P. R. R., to Coos bay. They are wide-wake, energetic gentlemen, fully aware of the diffi culties to be encountered in the undertaking, but possessed of sufficient energy and determi nation to overcome the same. We hope they will meet with unbouuded success. Coos Bay News. Cause of the Curl Leaf. I have made a great many investigations in regard to the cause of the Curl leaf on peach treas. We can not attribute it to any dbease of the root, neither to insects or animmalicuke but to the fact that the early warm days hasten the flow of sap which causes a premature fot matioa of leaves. whicH 'afterwarchr suffer from chilly weather causing the pores of the leaves to close by congealing the gum upon their sur face. They continue to grow, swell and curl, but cannot perspire. Remedy. Protect the trees from the direct rays of the sun in early spring. You will notice that- trees on the north side of a wall do not suffer so much and seldom any lrom curl-leaf but the fruit is later. They should have the benefit of the sun in full after May the first. Irrigation causes the scale bug. L. C. HiLL. i ranted.

County Court of Douglas county state of Oregon on Wednesday the 7th day of April 1886, dated March 3d 18S6. Stilley Riddle, OVR trii: Last Saturday morning wc got on board the cars along with many others who seemed tent upon going somewhere we knew not where, and we went whirling along and soon arrived at Wilbur, where Rcv Mr. Gittens got on board the train bound for Drain, and wTien we got to Oakland the Mbsei Mary Baker and Phene Smith also joined thfe num ber, the former going to Drain, the letter to Voncolla, each to commence teaching j school near those places. We stopped at Drain, and while there noted many improvements lin the little town since last we visited it. We had read the little posters on thi street which said, "Don't forget the entertainment Saturday night." At an early hour n the evening wc saw the people going to thd Acad emy, so we went too, and there foupd the chapel crowded to the utmost, to be I enter tamed by the following programme, of which we will speak briefly. ThcSSongs of Seven representing seven ages was well portrayed by the Misses Lulie McCallLsttr, Nancic Drain, Gail Benson, Myrtle Russell, Dora McCalli- ter, Olive Morningstar, and Mollie McCallis- ier. iacn one rendered tneir part in aj man ner wmcn ma creau to tncmscives as Well as their instructors. The program was inlirspcr sed witn instrumental solos, duets and trios, from the following: The Misses Mercic Apple gate, Nellie Applegafe, Minnie Fisher, Anna Drain, Messrs James Beckley, and D. B. Cartwright, Mrs. Caldwell, and Gail Benson The vocal solos by Arthur Gardiner and Het ty Seymore were well rendered. Recitations, The Constant Reader" by R. B. Lane, "Paddys Correspondence" by W. S. "Setting the Hen" by W. A. Bean, Bean, 'How we Caught a Mouse'.' by H. M. Caldwell, and "The Child Musician" by Willie Benson are all worthy of praise, but "The School by Prof. II. L. Benson brought dow Boy' 1 the house. Then came the farce "A Littlej More Cider" which was well render!, and brought forth much applause from the audience. Al this with tableaux consisted the evenings en tertainment, and all went away to their homes feeling that they had been well entertained. We remained over Sunday in the little town of Drain, and in the afternoon a party Of us walked out to Snowden Springs, and there found Mr. and Mrs. Tobias who cordially greeted us in a cheerful manner. They are making many much needed improvements, nd the springs will be a fine summer resort for invalids and pleasure seekers. Wc return ed to Drain and in the evening, went to church and listened to a sermon delivered by I Rev. Mr. Gittens. On Monday we vbitcd thd Nor mal school and found it in flourishing condition under the skillful management of Profs. Ben son and Rippetoe. Although a few of the large students arc quitting now in order to get schools to teach this spring, they have yet a good attendance. I I must not forget to mention our visit to the Echo office where we were cordially welcomed by the editors Dr. Kuykendall and Bj. A. Booth, who are making a good live little pa per. Taking it all in all our visit in Drain was a very pleasant one, and we will long re member the hospitality we received while there. We returned Monday evenine to Roseburg to again resume our work feeling much refreshed by our vacation. OAKLAND ITEMS. Bob. your uncle James insists that you! look after that bridle.

Shall it be Built or Not? -What the People Ought to do- From the Coos Bay News we take the fol towing, and hope every one will read and pon der, when opportunity lies just at the door. "Before reading this article examine for few minutes a map of the United States. Ly ing a little north of due east of Coos Bay, on the eastern border of the State, close to the dividing line between Oregon and Idaho, and about midway between Baker and Boise cities, is tne town of-ttunlington, the present termi nus of the line of he Union Pacific Railroad Company. From this point the cars of the U, P. R. R. Co. pass over the lines of the O. R. & N. Co. to Umatilla, and thence down fin. Columbia river to Portland. Nor has the Union Pacific any road Of its own to the Paci fic Ocean through the State of California, be ing compelled to run its rolling stock over the circuitous line of the Central Pacific from Og den to San Francisco. Starting from Omaha in Nebraska, the Union Pacific runs in as near ly as practicable a straight line, a little north of due west, to its terminus at Huntington, ami tne most casual observer cannot fail to see that a continuation of the road to coos Bay would make by far the shortest transcontinen tal line that has yet been built. The construc tion of such a road would neither be very dif ficult nor expensive. The distance would be something over four hundred miles, and for at least three fourths of the way would pass through the finest agricultural land in the State of Oregon, a large portion of which re mains unsettled for no other reason than the lack of transportation facilities. For months past the depth of water on the Coos Bay bar has been as great as on the bar at the mouth of the Columbia river, and some of the leading and most experienced engineers in the U. S. have asserted that there is no question what ever but that with the expenditure of a com paratively small sum of money the former can be made equal if not superior to the latter, and the bar at the entrance to Coos Bay can be deepened sufficiently to admit of the free in gress and egress of the largest vesseb that plow the ocean. So much for the feasibility of the road, or, in other words, the advantages to be de rived there from by those who may build it, Let us now consider for a moment how such a road would effect Coos and Douglas counties. In the first place at the terminus of the road, whether it be at Empire City or elsew here, a city of at a small estimate, ten thousand inhabitants would spring up - almost bclore the road was completed. Such a city would mean a home market for all the products of Coos county, and farmers would have no more reason to complain of hard times. Moreover it would mean sucn an increase in the value of real property throughout the county that we are afraid to give even an esti mate of it for fear that we may be accused of exaggeration. Then again at Roseburg, where the road would cross the line of the O. & C R. R., a city would rapidly grow, hardly if at all inferior in size or importance to that at the terminus, and the people of Douglas county would reap not only the benefit of a home market, but additional advantage of low freights for their surplus products, owing to the necessary competition between the O. & R. R. R. and the road t6 Coos Bay Between the Cascade mountains and Hunt nrton there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land almost uninhabited, offer ing homes for thousands of families on gov ernment land such as cannot to-day be ob tained in any other part of the United States, and the settlement of thb vast tract of country would be an inestimable benefit, not only to Coos and Douglas counties, but to the entire state. And liistly, let us consider what steps should be taken to havaihe road built. We have not sufficient money available in the two counties to build the road ourselves, and the first thing, therefore that we must do is to lay the matter in its most favorable light before outside capitalbts. To do thb it b absolutely necessary that a survey of the route should be made in order that it may be possible to make reasonably accurate estimate of the cost of the road. Monied men in the east usually ant to look before they leap, and lcfore they invest their capital they want facts and figures on which to base their calculations. A survey as already been made from Coos Bay to Rose burg, and it therefore only remains to survey the line from the latter place to Huntington, which we are informed can be done for a few thousand dollars. After the survey has been completed, the proper men should be selected to represent the matter in the east, and we are confident that with a little judgement and plenty of energy and perseverance their efforts would be crowned with success. If the people of Coos snd Douglas counties will only-wake up to their own interests, and show their willingness to assbt the enterprise withrcmey as well as words, before the dawn of 1890 we shall have direct railroad commu nication with the east, and thcseHwo counties will take the position to which they are nat urally entitled as the wealthiest and most pros perous in the state."' A Volte From Nebraska. . Rising City, Neb., March 3, 18S6. Ed. Review: I received two copies of your paper that I requested sent also copies from three other southern counties of Oregon of weekly papers and by -description of Doug las county I think I should like it ,the best of any part as far as I can learn by news papers. Enclosed find P. O. order for $1.2$ for the Review for six months, hoping by that time to see the county for myself. I have lived on the prairies for the last twenty-five years and in Nebraska for fifteen years and I am getting tired of the cold winters particularly such as we have just passed through, I say passed through, our winter is not over yet, it b snowing all day to-day and the ground b still frozen solid. I am not the only one that contemplates leaving Nebraska but about one in three would leave if they were sure of find ing a better climate where they could make a good living and get away from bliziards, long cold winters, hail storms, cyclones and thun der storms, such as we have in Nebraska. Yours Truly, F. A. Bly. Mr. Bly will pardon us for publbhing his letter to us, for it speaks the sentiments of many. Editor. a- - ' To speak of the Le Blanchc-Dempsey mill as one of the "most manfully fought fights on record" shows a strange misunderstanding of the meaning of words. "One of the most brutal and disgusting fights on record" would convey a more intelligent idea of a contest that left both of the human brutes that en gaged in it battered, cut, swollen and bloody as "stuck pigs."-Oregonian.

" : ' Secretary of State Earhart, who is a trustee of the Masonic building here, was in the city yesterday making arrangements for placing an Otis elevator in the building. The present elevator b run by an engine in tke upper story, which it b found shakes the lmilding, and it b feared will eventually injure it. The hydraulic elevator being always in readiness, and not requiring the attendance of an engineer, will be found much more con venient than the old one. Oregonian. The above item will send a thrill of joy to the heart of every mason in Oregon who has or ever will attend the Grand Lodge sessions. Our indignation comes from the fact, that once that old antiquated windlass stoped short about 10 feet from fhe upper landing and about 40 feet from below, and we were pulled out over bars, irons, wire ropes &c. and our clothes were buttonless when we gained the landing. Yes let the old j superanuated ftas engine failure go where the "woodbine twin eth, and Brother R. P. Earhart will have more than a thousand meni to "rise up and call him blessed". The only mean thing I ever knew Congressman Hermann to do was to make a speech in favor of that ah yes we pause for the invective of a Shakespeare. When we come to our annual reunion next June, some of us who are mere floating zeph ers, will be happy beyond measure. Brother Earhart, long may you wave. Farewell to the nuisance.
