How unnatural it is to kill the fish at the dam
and allow them to tot on llic banks. Such per
. sons ought to be disfranchised.
Sh'ekif.f'h Sale. On January nth, 1SS7
at the farm o( Robert Phipps I will sell the
following personal properyt, 600 head of sheep,
a few cattle and horses, one thrasher and one

Why go to Koseburg or anywhere else for
teeth when you can get them in Oakland as
cheaply calling on Dr. S, K. Raymond
whose work has stood the test for years, hs
office is at his residence and prices to suit the
hard times.
Dentist. Rev. F. M. Culp can be found
in his office over Mark's store, where he is fid
ly prepared to do the v.y y best work in dent
istry. Give him a call and know that his
work cannot be excelled in the city of Kosc
bgrg Oregon.
Strikes. We had a strike last week at
the Review ofiice, hence our small sheet, but
all have gone to work this week at the same
waecs for the same hours. Our holiday No
caused the strike. A few holiday mim! ers
for sale yet.
Nor Married. The I'laindcaler was
much too previous last week when it an
nounced the marriage ol Mr. Roberts of Fu
uenc, and Miss Fannie McKean of Myitle
Creek. We are authorized to say they ate
not married, and hope that some anxious folks
will not be so hasty in the future.
Picture. Hon. Dinger Hermann sent to
Asher Marks Esq. of this city an 8x14 photo
graph of the lafly oftho White House, Mrs.
Cleveland. This photo is taken full size,
looking directly to the front, and in full dress
costume. This is a handsome gift, and highly
appreciated by the recipient Mr. Marks.
New Telegrath Office. The new tele,
graph office will be kept at the Plaindealer
office, and the lightning manipulated by Miss
Katie Buick. The Plaindealer and Review
will hereafter be able to report runaways,
fights, earthquakes, marriages and the like at
least 12 hours before they occur. Enterprise
you see.
Bids for Surveying. The lowest bidder
on the work of resurveying the boundaries of
the Klamath reservation was Mr. Wm. Thiej
of Oakland, Douglas county. His bid is
$5.50 per mile for the boundary, and $4.50
- per niilc for connection with public surveys.
This is considered very cheap, the cost of the
work at these figures w ill not use much more
than half the appropriation. The bids have
been forwarded to the dcjiartment at Wash
ington by Surveyor-General Taylor, and the
result will be known before long. Orcgonian.
The Revival. The recent revival meet
ings in the Presbyterian church in this city pre
sent the following results up to the present
time. We had the efficient service of the Rev.
E. T. Ingle, Fresbytcrial missionary, for fif
Sfl .1 1 .f flllrinitlk.l tlmn I, n 1. ,1 C

sermons, made 103 visits to 49 different fami
lies. In all 61 persons have united with the
church j 56 on profession of their faith, of which
number 38 were baptized. Besides this a
goodly number have already united with the
other churches of the city and others will when
'he opportunity is given.
Where We Are. The following is the
relative height of different points in Oregon
above the level ol the Pacific ocean as reported
by the signal service officers: Koseburg, 523 ft;
Portland, 88; Astoria, 52; Albany, 600; Eola,
500; Umpqua, 8; Dalles, 350; Asbland, 1,940,
It will be remembered that these calculations
are from a certain point in the observer's of
fice w hich, in Roscburg, happens to be in the
second story and is some distance above the
ground; thcrclore it may be safely calculated
tlut the lot on wliich the public school house of
this city stands is about 500 feet above the
level of the sea '.
Teachers' Institute. The district
teachers' institute held at Eugene last week
was an unqualified success. There were pres
ent about 180 teachers from the various coun
ties of this judicial district. From Douglas
county we notioce the names of J. R. Kendall,
Mrs. G. T. Russell, Miss Lillian Russell and
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Horner; all of w hom took
an active part in the work of the institute
Miss Lillian Rusaell whose singing charmed
the association was the only singer who was
encored. The maps drawn by students in
our public school were subjected to much fa
vorable comment. During that week Stale
Supt. McElroy held two institutes,
AuraSis Pardoned. The board of par
dons met last week, and considered a number
of petitions for pardon. But of these only
one was recommended favorably to the gover
nor, and that was the one of Harry Abrams,
ol Lane county, sentenced to the penitentiary
for fifteen years for the killing f Dr. Brown
lec, at Junction City about three years ago.
In accordance with the recommendation, was
on last Saturday pardoned. The case, at the
time ol the homicide, excited a great deal of
comment, and strenuous efforts were made to
save Abrams from the penitentiary. They
failed, however, and he was imprisoned, and
was soon appointed a book keeper in the pris
on, as he is an expert accountant. The news
of his pardon will be of especial interest to
the residents of Junction City. Statesman.

Editor Review: The weather, alter the
rains of last week is very line, but no water
for mining. There arc several prospectcrs in
the hills looking for the golden ileecc. Th(e
who intend worki:ii; placer tlintiincs do not
now expect water until after Christmas.
John Fisher and Win. Bushncll arc the only

Yesterday while taking (our afternoon
snooze" we were awakened by the reville
call near the window of our cabin, on spring
ing up to "fall in" we found Jas. Byron, his
two boys, Job Gilpin and a noted bazoo
of the Y. D. B. out hunting for an echo. It
is not musical to seo men in the mountains
hunting game, range or gold, but hunting ab
echo is prospecting for something new. The
Yankee Doodle man gave us a lively diserta
tion on metals, he said that an ingenious
chap had made diamonds and was uow going
to make gold. Wc think he could dd a bet
ter business. There is plenty of gold here'
but no water with which to imine it. The
gold maker has been here and done his part,
rw if some fellow w ill give us enough water we
can soon square upwith the grub staker. As it.
is we can't do anything but go hunting.
What is it we hear about the President go
ing up into the N. Y. mountains to shoot
white tail deer? Why dont some of the east
ern sports come to the rowdy west where
there are plenty of deer, bear and real live
Indians? Say Mr. Editor, can't you write
to Grovcr asking him toleavc Frankie with her
mother while he comes to Oregon and shoots
deer for a while?

CHRISTMAS CAROL
By F. M. Culp
Down the ages floats the echo
VI fn anthem sweet and clear,
Chanted by a host of angels,
In 1
the calm Judcan air.
O!
the glory and the rapture
Of I
Sw
that loud, triumphant strain:
eetcst song e'er sent from Meavrn
"Teace on earth, good will to men."
There is no minor in the carol.
Saddest notes belong to earth,
waugtit but joy and peace and gladness
BleSsing hearts that droop beneath.
Crushing weichts'of eloom and dnrknpce
Tearless sadness, voiceless care
Merging sunshine into shadows,
Bri
nging hope to grim despair,
that heavenly licnediclbn!
O
Chanted on the natal day,
th king of earth and heaven,
ng there ne'er so crand a lav.
Blessed peace! sent here from Eden!
Like a snow flake pure and white,
Calming life's great stormy billows,
Lighting up earth's blackest night.
Holy hymn, forever ringing
through the corridors" of vears.
Bringing peace to high and lowly,
frying sorrow s bitter tears.
May the white robed angel choir
Chant for aye that happy strain.
May the saints unite in singing
I eace on earth, good will to men."

Died in Santa Rosa Cal., Dec. 15, 1836,
Mrs. Ollio Churchill aged 27 years and 5
months. She was born in California July 23,
1859. when about 12 years old her parents
moved to Douglas county Oregon, where in
1670 she was married to II. H. Churchill of
Polk county Oregon, and iu 84 they moved to
California for her health where ihey have since
resided. She leaves a husband and little gitl,
father, sister and three brothers to mourn her
loss, she was a consistent member of the Bap
tist church and died in the hope of a blessed
eternity. She is far happier than we, but 'tis
sad to think we have gazed upon her dear face
for the last lime, that we shall never hear her
lear voice and loving words again upon earth.
She has gone to meet our loved one who has
gone before her. May God in his loving
mercy, prepare us to meet them with our
blessed savior in heaven where there is no part
ing or shedding of tears.
Dearest sister thou hast left us,
And thy losi wc deeply feel,
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal . .

A Preacher's Illustration.
In a recent discourse Rev. I. J). Driver, of
East Portland, speaking of a virtuous course
of lire being open to all men, said : "But lew
enn be rich and fewer still be wise, but all can
be good and right. Col. Ingersoll, on the
labor question, recently said: 'Five men
worked in a shoe store; each made 75 cents
per day more than expenses. Ono spent his
evenings with a respectable family in social
converse with tlioir pretty daughter; the tther
four in a saloon. In two or three vears the
one saved up enough to buy a nice little home
and got married. In two or three years more
he could hire a horse and bucgy and take his
wife out riding. The other four went to asaloon
and passed resolutions that there was a con
Hict between labor and capital.' This is a fair
statement of principles involved even on a
higher plane and runs thus: Col. Ineersoll and
four others advocate temperance and morality;
one of them practices what he teaches and
builds np a character that is solid and pure.
Col. Ingersoll and the other three stultify
themselves, get drunk and by a violation of
their own teachings arc self-condemned. In
j
process of tune all five die, the one who by
self denial and the conscientious practice of
what he believed and taucht. is qualified for
the association of the pure and good spiritual
home. Col. Ingersoll and the other three go
to hell and pass resolutions that there is con
flict between justice and grace." Oregonian,

A COMMUSICATIOX.
San Francisco, Dec. 1$ 1886.
Hear Editor: I went ly rail from San
Diego to Los Angeles. The country for
hundred miles north of San Diego presents a
dreary appearance being much broken and
nude of trees with now and then a house with
gardens, like an oasis in the desert, to relieve
the monotomy of an almost uninterrupted
view of barren hills and plains. In my for
mer letter I did not mention the old town
which is about four miles north -tf the new
town of San Diego and is now called "North
San Diego. ' Ij was, up to 1S6S the- county
seat of ban Ditgo County and the only place
of importance in the county. It long since
lost its prestige and now contains a Kpulation
of 300, with post office, sclioolhou.se, hotel and
vatnoiic cnurch. Close by are the ruins of
Gen. Stockton's fortifications, and three miles
to the east is the old "Mission" over one
hundred years old, and on its porch the inva
lid and tourist are wont to sit and muse with
the dust of a century about them ol the char
ncteristics of the people who worshiped there
in whose Iwnes have long ago crumbled into
dust. The California Southern railroad
passes close to the town and has a station
there. For about fifty miles this road runs
near the ocean beach and every few miles
there is a station where a small town has
sprung up as by magic. It is claimed for
each town by those interested, to have the
best climate and surf bathing on the coast.
Some of the towns are pleasantly situated with
a grand view of the cccan, valleys and moun
tains. Residence lots in these towns are sel
ling for fifty dollars and ip. Now we come
to Temecula canon wliich is nearly twenty
seven miles long. The scenery in and around
the canon is picturesque. Lofty barren moun
tains on cither side covered with rocks ol alj
sizes and shapes and piled one upon another
is a scene long to le remembered. About
three years ago here was the great railroad
washout which cost more to repair the road
than to build it. Al one time there were
grave doubts whether or not the railroad com
pany would repair it. In places in the canon
after the washout there was not a vestige of
the roadbed left. After coming out of the
not th end of the canon the valley opens out
wider and the country looks better, but there
's no water at present and nothing can be
raised without irrigation. Now we reach
Riverside valley famous for fine oranges and
other fruits. It is a decided change from the
barren dreary country over which wc have
traveled. Here one sees the beautiful orange
groves whose trees arc laden with the delicious
fruit, some green, others ripe, and the very
air is perfumed. There is thrift on every
hand. There arc many beautiful' homes
with flower gardens. This valley is called
the new Eden. Now we pass San Gabriel
where there is an old adobe Mexican Church
over ono hundred years old. It is an ancient
looking structure. Pasadena is the next
town of importance. It is nine miles north
east of Los Angtlos, on the line of the San
Gabriel valley railroad. It ;s said that San
Gabriel valley of which Pasadena is the
royal crown, is in points of beauty and pro
ductivencss the wonderland of the West
This valley is now covered with thousands of
acres ol rich vincards and citrus groves. I am
informed that the soil of this valley is es
pecially adapted to the growth of the vine-producing
both the raisin and wine varieties of
grapes. The orange, lemon, olive and several
varieties of nuts are cultivated quite extensive
ly. Most of the land in the valley has been
divided into lots from five to thirty acres, live
acres being considered as sufficient for one
man to cultivate. The land is valued at prices
ranging from $500 to $1500 per acre. There
is direct communication by the San- Gabriel
valley K. R. with all through Northern and
Eastern lines. Pasadena has a population of
4000 and over a $1000,000 has been invested
in building improvements in the last year. It
has three banks, two newspapers and all
branches of trade and commerce are well rep
resented. Ii lias fine public and private
schools, and churches of different denomina
tions doing good work. It has fine hotels
and proudly boasts one of the finest structures
of that class on the Pacific coast, The Ray.
mond, and it is a palace in all its appoint
ments. Now we arrive at Los Angelos, "The An
gel City," but I failed to sec any angels, that
is. I saw no wings. The city of Los Angelos
has a population of about 45000 and it is the
great metropolis of Southern California. Its
growth has been phenomenal, and no city in
the stale has enjoyed such unprecedented
prosjierily in so few years. It is situated on
tnc line ot the b. t . R. R. and is the center
of a network of railways running to the vari
ous points of interest in Southern California.
It contains many of the old adoles in a delap-
idated condition which arc eyesores to the
city as strangers seeing them are not at first
favorably impressed with the city. The streets
are crowded and there is business activity
everywhere. There are many fine business
blocks and elegant residences with beautiful
gardens with ever blooming flowers. Good
public and private schools, electric lights, ca-;
ble streets railways, several banks, first class
hotels with ample accommodations and the
churches are strongly represented. There
are many places of attractions in and around
Los Angelos. There is fine surf bathing at
Santa Monica and Long Beach which can
be reached daily, and a short ride will take
one up into the Sierra Madres, whose peaks
reach skyward, where can be had all moun
tain sports. It is claimed that the climate of
Los Angelos is as equable and salubrious as
any where in Southern California. Its busi
ness and residence properly is held at fancy
prices, and its real estate boom continues un
abated. Every few days visitors from the
East by the hundreds arrive who are seeking
a mild climate, tlu's "Utopia of the West."
The real estate men have purchased all the
available locations along the coast and inland
in Southern California and laid them out into
town lots and extensively advertised their
great attractions as health and pleasure resorts
with a climate unequaled and a soil that will
grow all semi-tropical Iruits to perfection.
The result of this is that there is a boom in real
estate all over Southern California and many
fortunes have been made suddenly. Now as
far as I have been able to observe Los An
gelos is the only city south of San Francisco
that has a sufficient back country to sustain a
large city. The great draw back to this coun
try is the want of rain and water for irrigation.
In many localities no water can be obtained
without enormous expense. In all towns of
Southern California there is quite a sprink
ling of Mexicans or gTeasers. In going by
rail from Los Angelos to San Tcdro I saw
some fine vinyards and orange groves. In
the afternoon I boarded the steamer for San
Francisco. The next morning we reached
the port to San Luis Obispo which town lays
inland about fifteen miles. As the steamer
had to lay there for several hours to take on
freight an excursion was gotten up for the pas
sengers to visit this old historic town. The
breast-worka put up by Gen. Fremont and an
old Mexican church with a cannon ball hole
through It are still there and are objects of
iK'eai uuerest. l ncrc is , considerable grain
raised around San Louis Obispo. About
four o'clock P. M. we left this port and early
next morning arrived at San Francisco in
good spirits. Eastern capital is what is de.
vcloping the resources of Southern California

the city at present over the striking employes
ot the Sutter and Geary street cable railway;
llie employes ofthc.se roads demanded $2.50
per day and twelve hours work and the com
panies would not accede to ,lheir demands.
hence they went on a strike To prevent
trouble the companies have two policemen on
each car to go to the end cf the routes. But
the employes have he-en parading and congre
gating near the companies shops and the
starting joint for the cars and tried to induce
the new men to quit work and those that
would not do so were pulled and driven from
the cars by the strikers. Last Monday the
strikers marched up Sutter street- and when
near the starting point for the cars James M.
Cord Supt. of the Sutter street line ordered
them to halt but they kept on, to protect his
his own person, the property otthe company
and the new man, he and his men fired upon
the strikers and about forty shots were ex
changed. One man was shot in the brain and
has since died, and others were wounded

blood the company's property had been in
jured, some of the new men were bruised by
missiles thrown at them and passengers have
had their necks and laces cut by pieces of
glas from the broken windows ol the cars,
It is difficult to say how it will end as both
sides are determined to win. All the injury
done to the companies property and the- new
men by the hoodlums the strikers are blamed
with. $2.50 per day for twelve hours is little
enough pay for the work and exposure,
These strikes will still further stagnate business
in this city. As usual the other morning they
had a man for breakfast. These murders are
a little too frequent for the orphan, but as he
smiles "childlike ami bland" on every man he
meets and keeps his mouth shut, perhaps he's
safe.
I wish you and all friends a Merry Christ
mas and a I Iappy New Year.

The Board of Managers elected by the com
mittee of thirty met penuant to call on Dec.
23d, and adopted a constitution and by laws.
The name chosen for the new organization is
The Southern Oregon Agricultural Associa
tion. The next meeting will be held in May
when the annual election of officers will take
place and the executive commitec be elected
who will be empowered and ordered to push
forward resolutely and immediately the works
necessary to establish an agricultural and
mechanical lair at Roscburg next fall. This
is a stride forward in the right direction and
jn our opinion is the first gleam of a bright
future for agriculture in this county. This
movement if properly sustained will create
and foster an interchange of ideas, a thorough
cultivation of the soil, a pnde in stock; the
bringing np and patronage of home manufacto
ries. The pernicious and lankrupling prac
tice of importing everything we wear, many
things wc eat, (inferior to our own) and every
implement used in agriculture must be aban
doned if we prosper. Therefore let every
farmer assist the Board of Managers when
the proper time comes, and dont leave them a
"forlorn hope" fighting your cause alone.
Roberts Creek Reform Club.

Deer creek Christmas night opening with
the song "Yield not to Temptation." W.
II. Wralker being called upon addressed the
club, speaking of Christmas and giving val
uable historical sketches, tending to teach his
hearers to live a purer, nobler and better life.
After a short recess the choir sang "Evergreen
Plain." then B. F. Ramp gave us a lousing
prohibition speech, bringing arguments and
statistics to bear that ought to induce any
thinking person, whether male or female, to
become temperate and work for the prohibi
tion movement. Messrs Wm. Ingram " and
Jno. Aid held the club spell bound with their
five minutes secches declaring their intention
to stick to temperance principles and do all
in their power to swell the prohibition ranks.

Giant of Medicines." It goes without saying,
that II. II. Warner & Co. have educated the
people of this country to the belief, which Is
rational and well founded, that a vast majority
of human diseases originate in improper action
ot the kidneys and liver, that improper action
of allow ing the blood to liecome filled with
uric and lithic acids, or kidney and liver waste
wlu'ch inflame and irritate all the organs and
hereby produces so many different diseases:
Hence a remedy that will correct 4he false
action of the kidneys and liver and neutralize
the acids of the system, very naturally cures
all the diseases caused by this excess of acid
in the bloeid. Al this holiday season no pres
ent would be more acceptable to any suffering

wonderfully effective Warner's safe cure. The

they say, but frankly tell you to write to those
whose testimonials are published and to ask
your friends and neighbors what they think
of this great remedy. That shows how great.
is their confidence in the favor of the public
on wliich they reckon because of their merits"
