tous speaker Dr. James Browne, P. G. Med
ical Director. This was the occasion of the
installment of all the lodges in Portland,

them in their noble endeavors.
Sociables. The Scoiables at the residen
ces ef A. C. "Jones, on Friday last, at Mrs.
Tartie's on Monday evening and at Judge
Willis on Tuesday evening were all very en
joyable-affairs. The hosts and hostesses at
the several places did much to entertain their
guests, and all were well pleased. These soci
ables are highly commendable, and., are the
means of cultivating good will. More anon.
New Music. We are under obligations to
Mr. Ign. Fischer, music publisher, Toledo. O.,
far the Knights of Labor Grand March, by J
Y. M. One of the most pleasing and capliva
ting marches that has come to our notice for
some time past. It is of medium difficulty
and as well adapted for organ as for piano
and can be highly and conscientiously recom
mended to young and hopeful musicians.

House Burned. Voltaire Gurney's house
was burned in Ten Mile on Tuesday last by
some unknown means. No one was at home
at the time of the burning, Mrs. Gurncy had
gone on it visit to her mother-in-law's, and
Mr. Gurney was in Rosebuig. All the con
tents were burned, as well as all the mill im
plements which were brought to the house
some time since. This is truly a great loss to
Mr. Gurney, and all deeply sympathise in this
sad misfortune. U
Beautiful. A beautiful incident occurctl
at the M. E. Church last Tuesday evening.
After Prof. Ilorner had finished the choir
practice, and during which time number of
spectators were present and attentively listened
to the excellent singing a stranger approached
he Prof, at the door, and said, "here is ten
dollars for the benifit of this church." This
amount was handed Mr. Stanton to be ap
plied as directed. Some reminiscence of early
training swept over the soul of this stranger,
and thus he manifested his appreciation of
that which is ennobling.

Umatill Co., Or., Jan., 4th, 1887,
Please send me your paper until spring and
then I will send you the pay. I ordered the
paper a short time as I did not know where
I would winter, and I am a Douglas county
boy and I dont see how I can do without the
Douglas county news. 1 found a rough rocky
country here. This section of country is pripci
pally a stock range, and an immense number of
sheep grazing on the hills. The main draw
back to this countv is wood and water. Both
are very scarce, it is from one to one hundred
miles to wood. I found it not as cold nor as
much snow as I expected, scarcely any rain,
but the mam, thing every one is alive and
limes are lovely. Douglas County Boy.

The adjourned meeting of the citizens wa
held at the Court House Wednesday evening.
Mr. M. Jacobs was called to the chair and
litf. l. pipes was elected secretary. The
chair stated that the meeting would hear the
report of the committee as to how much was
subscribed. Mr. Baldwin of the committee
reported that the full sum of $22,000 was sub-
scriled. The chair theu explained that while
$22,000 was sufficient to assure the college
under the provisions of the law, there would
be incidental expenses of various kinds and
the directors had fixed the capital stock at
$23,000. There would, therefore, be required
another thousand dollars. This would, the
chair thought be harder to raise than any other
thousand that had already been secured. Al
this point Mr. Wallace Baldwin rose and re
quested permission to read the following letter
which he had for the first time made pnblic:
45 William St. New York,

There is a first cause, and intermediate
causes for all things and all causes result in
their legitimate effects. While we admit that
there is influence of mind over mind we deny
that mind has any power over matter except
by physical or mechanical means. We also
admit that animate bodies are possessed of an
electric or magnetic force some more than
others which they exert over other bodies
either animate or inanimate but more especially
over sentient beings and particularly the cred
ulous. But what those practice who claim to

conversing with the dead, prohesying etc., we
consider fiction and an imposition upon the
credulity of mankind. Many who parlicipta'.e
lose so much ntrve and vital electricity that
their nerves relax and their physical system
emaciates, their intellect Incomes impaired,
succeeded by insanity and death. Those per
formers at seances claim by spiritualistic influ
ence to produce wonderful and miraculous re
sults, but they seldom agree about the same
thing. They claim to le laboring in the
cause of humanity and intellectual develop
ment. If it be true that spirits of the dead re
turn to converse with us, it is strange that we
should be left to learn from observation and
experience. . Why did they leave the human
family to grovel in darkness, ignorance and
superstition so long? Why don't they tell
us something about the rings and satalitcs of
saturn, about the sun, the auroraborealis, the
comets etc? Why don't they tell a poor miner
where to find mineral? Why don't they tell
ns how to avoid difficulty and calamity? Why
don't they tell the poor widow how to procure Browne, Rev. Martin Judy officiating. Con
bread for her starving children? If they can gratulations.

materialize homes for thc homeless, and food
for the starving? Because they cannot. There
is such a thing as premonition of mind and
physical warning of impending danger by in
fluence of the living upon the living. Also
the influence of many who have lived is reali
zed many years, yea many centuries after they
have lived, but they left relics of what they
accomplished. The true psychological or
spiritualistic view of this is (if you please to
call it so is we have gradually evolved from
a lower to a higher metaphysical and intellect
ual state through the trials, observation and
experience of those who have prececded us.

The Monitor Sueeum'ft.
We regret to learn that the Medford Moni-
tor has put up its shutters, and sadder than
this is the further fact that its talented editor
and publisher, Mr. Johnson, has been wrecked
by his failure to make a good paying paper in
one of the most flourishing towns to the south
of us on the O. &C, Railway. But the sad-
dest ol all is that the editor's mind has liccn
shattered along with his ambition and his for-
tune. Our latest reports are that Mr. John-
son, in a stale of mental aberration attempted
to drown himself but was fortunately prevented
by a stranger front making the fatal jump from
the Rogue river bridge. A parly of friends
on receipt of this startling intelligence, imme
diately went in search of the missing man,
who according to reliable information was last
seen wandering aimlessly and evidently de
mented on the east bank of Rogue nver. It
is said that his mind was turned by intense
religious excitement, but it is safe so say that
financial troubles hastened, if they did not in
duce this unfortunate condition. ' It is not
likely that Mr. Johnson will again take charge
of the Monitor, and as Palmer & Rcy, the
patent outsiders and insiders of the coast, have
the outfit under heavy mortgage, it is safe to
say that the Monitor like its namesake, the
great war vessel that destroyed the dreaded
Merrimac, flying the bonny flag, and then BalCs ,rom the norm on tne Atlantic ocean, necessity requires, the lady ran to a neigh
sunk beneath the waves, will nevr be ressur- which causes contra currents ol air west of I bor for assistance, and w hen she returned the
reeled. We nitv Editor Tohnson we pity the
people of Medford, the more for a town nn
willing to give a genuine support to its local
paper is sure to decay and die.

To the Editor of The Oregonian:
: Various plans have been suggested to obtain
a full tax valuation of thc property in the state.
A more effectual one than any proposed would
be the passage of a law giving any person
right to buy any property at the valuation

to sell and deliver any property at the pnee

Albany, Jan. 6, The celebration of the
crossing of the first Oregon Pacific train over
the Willamette into this city to-day, was a
great event. Thc morning opened auspicious
ly and the sun shone brightly through the day.
A great throng of people assembled at the foot
of Second street, where the maiden trip was
to be ended. Promptly at 12:30 the whistle
of the engincon the other side announced that
the first regular passenger train from the Pa
cific ocean was about to cross the bridge into
Albany. A few seconds later, the train, con
sisting of two passenger coaches and a baggage1
car, attencd by two engines appeared on the
bridge and steamed slowly and majestically
across. Their approach wss grett ;d by cheers,
waving of handkerchiefs, and inspiring music
by the band.
On the train were officers of the Oregon Pa
cific, prominent citizens of Corvallis, and fifty
passengers. Mayor Weatherford delivered an
address of welcome, which was responded to
by Vice President Wallis Nash. The draw
bridge was formally opened, and citizens of
this city were invited to a free ride over thc
new road to Corvallis. Many availed them
selves of the opportunity of making an in
spection of the road, returning in a special
train at 4 p. 111.
Three cheers were given for Col. Hogg and
the Oregon Pacific. Two thousand people
witnessed the celebration of the event. There
were present representatives of thc Oregonian,
News, Corvallis Gazette and Leader, Albany
Herald and Statesman. Trains commence
running next Tuesday, making close connec

.Cranberry Culture,
The experience of Mr. A. J. Burr, ofOlym
pia, in raising eastern cranberries in his neigh
borhood is that the plants do better, two to
one, without than with a coating of sand .
He clears off the land and burns the moss
over the surface, taking care that the fire
shall not go deep into thc ground.
Then plants the vines in the muck during
the months from October to June. Prefers
planting the vines one foot apart each way.
Hoes out thc grass and weeds for two years
at which time the plants so cover thc ground
that but little care is afterward needed.
Vines boar the third year and at present
prices, an acre should yield $500.
Hundreds of acres of natural cranberry land
lie along Clatsop plains in this county. Asto

strained to Itow in humble reverence to his
memory, for his many noble deeds irrespec

were quite favorable.
