Departure. Prof. M. F. Jones and fam
ily will take their departure for Colfax Wash
ington Territory next Tuesday. They have
made many friends in Roseburg during the two
years they have resided here, who are sorry to
have them go. The Trof. is a first-class
musician and has labored earnestly for the
success of our juvenile band which has made
very rapid progress under his instruction, and
he deserves much credit for the kind treat
ment 01 the boys, who will miss him very
much. I lis going will be a great loss to us,
but our loss is Colfax's gam. The very best
wishes of this community go with them to
their new home.
Fkvit Cfi.TfRE. Southern Oregon is
bound to become the great fruit producing
section of the stale. Within the past two
years over a million peach trees have been
set out in Jackson county alone. Many of I
them will produce some fruit this year. Mr
Stewart one of the members of the Iowa j
press excursion, which visited this state two
years ago, purchased a place out there and
has set out 3500 peach trees, and Mr. Whit
man, another of the same party, has set out
an extensive orchard of Bartlett pears. The
prospect of the near completion of the connec
tion cf the rail with California has made the
people of the .southern portion of the state ju
bilant and infused new life into that section.
- Prohibition" Amendment Leagte.
The League was called to order by the Presi
dent W. F, Benjamin, and opened with a se
lection by the Junior Band. After reading of
the journal of last meeting and a song by the
Junior choir, Lee Bell was elected Secretary.
The regular speaker of the evening, Rev. G.
V. Miller, being absent, S. F. Floed gave
us an excellent address in which he showed
why ever body should vote for the amend
ment next November. After a recess of five
minutes a quartette entitled "Torpedo and
the Whale," was rendered clfecively, five
minutes speeches by James Chenoweth and
Will Walker, a recitation by Earl Gaddis.
Hon. D. 1Y. -Stearns, of Oakland, was selec
ted as the itext regular speaker. By a sugges
tion of the President a collection was taken to
defray the running exienses of the League.
With a piece by the band the meeting ad
journed to meet m two weeks. Sec,
Tiif. Road .;!ko;';ii the Siskivovs.
The re is considerable speculation and anxiety
among residents at the extreme south of the
state as to what route the Southern Pacific
company will follow in constructing the rail
road from' the state line to Ashland. The
distance in an air line is only about fifteen
miles aud by the stage route it is only about
twenty. But it is considerable farther by the
old line surveyed for the railroad and there
are no less than eight tunnels to be constructed
most of them, however, short. The main
lnnnr 1 tbroufh the summit is 1012 feet in
o
length and of this 2000 feet is completed
The next largest tunnel is at Buck rock, and
ot this 400 feet is done. But this old route
is ro circuitous that in one place nine miles
of road must be built to gain two and a quar
ter miles, and an effort is being made to find
a more direct route, even if a heavier grade
and longer tunnel is necessary. Owing to the
'peculiar formation of the Siskiyou range it is
uncertain whether this is practicable or not
If the road is built over the old route it will
furnish some fine scenery, embracing views
of the whole Rogue river country, and from
the south end of the big tunnel a view of the
Salman and Scott mountain ranges, and
Mount Shasta, looming up 14,451 feet, can be
een for 100 miles.

DOUG I, AH COVXTi:
Eijitor Review: As the intelligent immi
grant will instinctively inquire into all the
natural as well as social advantages of the
country which he contemplates visiting with
the view of seeking a new home, V that
which will offer the greatest inducements is
the place where he will be mo3t likely to
pitch his tent. To furnish such information
is the object of this essay. It is too often the
case that interested parties will write up a
country in such glowing and highly colored
language that while it is pleasing to read, it
fails to impress the reader with any real
merits as to the country described,! though
never so truthful; because the immigrant has
So often been imposed upon by sharper! and
designing "boom workers," with the ulterior
view of making a few dollars at the expense
of the immigrant and ultimately to the injury
of the country by imaginative gazetteers and
journalists or their hired scriviners. In this
short essay we propose to give a plain unvar
nished talc, believing that "honesty is the best
policy," that if the truth concerning our county
will not bear inspection, and that the real
merits of our soil, climate and social advan
tages are wanting it would be vain to try to
create a "boom" by pen ink and paper.
The urea of Douglas county is more than
that of Connecticut, and four times larger
than Rhode Island. It lies in a sort of hol-
ow square, bounded on the north by the Cala
pooia, on the east by the Cascades, on the
south by the Canyon and on the west by the
Coast Ranges of mountains. It is bisected by
the South Umpqua river which rises in the
southeast part and empties into the Pacific
ocean on the northwest; joined near the cour
ier of the county by the North Umpqua w hich
rises in the Cascade mountains south of Dia
mond peak. ' Upon the South Umpqua there
are very fertile valleys of bottom land now
mostly occupied by settlers who came to this
valley prior to the "war of the Rebellion.
Nearly all the bottom lands clear of timber
have been long since settled where pence and
plenty now abounds. There are considerable
government lands yet in this county which
when cleared of timber make good farms.
The tributaries to the lUmpquas also afford
nice little fertile lxittoilr lands that are being
frequently entered as homesteads in the Land
Office at Roseburg. These, however, have
to be cleared of timber as praiie lands have
long since been taken up. The county is
well watered, there being scarcely a quar
ter section of laud in the county that has not
living water u; ;iu it, either in the form of a
spring or a creek. The bottom lands are very
rich and produce all the cereals and grasses
grow in this county quite bountifully. When
well cultivated the yield in grain is above the
average in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Deaiglas county produced in 1SS0, 439,19s
bushels of wheat, 25,633 bushels of corn, 39,
254 bushels of barley, 347,830 bushels of oats,
19,729 tons of hay, 52,412 bushels of potatoes,
and her orchard products amounted to 54,133
dollars. Her live stock was as follows: horses
5000, cows 4,330, other cattle S,559, sheep
133'3I9 swine 15,446; 511,382 pounds of
wool, 122,740 pounds of butter and 16,424
pounds of cheese.
Now let us compare the above with Doug
las county, Illinois, i prairie country near
Chicago. See census 1SS0. Douglas county
Illinois, 1S80, 464,278 oats; bailey 196
(hut 3,335,008 bu. of corn) 23,464 ions of
hay, 32,391 bushels of potatoes, and her or
chard products only about half of ours, being
only 27,332 dollars. This comparison shows
that we possess all the elements of wealth as
to food products. Add to this a mild and
salubrious climate and you have a county not
the least desirable. We do not know what the
future w ill hold in store for us, but up to the
present a failure of crops is unknown in this
county. Stock raising is comparatively very
cheap as but little feed for the winter season
is required, the summers are not oppressively
hot, no cyclones, no strong winds, but very
little lightning and thunder, very few pests to
man, beast, orchards or grain. The foregoing
are some 01 me advantages 01 uougias county
Oregon. On some future occasion I will
speak of others, such as our mines, lumber
fishing interest; all of which is immense. The
foregoing is a plain unvarnished story of a few
of our attractions. We do no claim to be in
the garden of Eden. Nature has done much,
but labor must do its share to fully develop
this county now in its inlancy as to culture.
Give as a little more energy and a fair share of
capital to aid us and ere long Douglas county
will Ik: one of the richest counties in the state.

tel and St. James hall were burned early this
morning. The loss is fully $500,000. A
number of lives are reported loss and many per
sons injured . I
The building is situated at the corner of
Main and Eagle streets, extending through to
Washington street. The fire was discovered
at 3:30 this morning in the new Richmcnd
hotel and an alarm was sounded and the fire
department responded promptly. The house
contained a large number of guests aud their
heart-rending shrieks could plainly be heard.
Ladders were raised as soon as possible and
as many as could be were taken out, and a
large number of them w ere unable to effect
their escape. At 4 o'clock the entire Rich-,
mond hotel and St. James liall and other
property in the same block were doomed to
speedy destruction. iThe whole place burned
like tinnier and the corridor in center of the
building acted as a great funnel, ami as the
flames streamed upwards the guests found
themselves imprisoned by walls of fire.

Bismarck, March iS. Washburnc gorge
broke last night, early this morning the river
began to rise rapidly and a gorge was formed
below the city. The ice carried everything
with it, and struck the immense warehouse
of the Northern Pacific, one of the largest in
the world, and the workmen narrowly escaped
drowning, and in less than two hours from
the time of the gorge the water was in the
second stories of riveT boarding houses which
had been built on wjiat was considered high
grcund. The warehouse, which w nearly 700
feet in length, was moved bodily over thirty
feet and sent crushing against the bluffs, and
the loss on this building will be over $15,000.
Tke meadow land south of Bismarck, com
prising 6000 acres, is now one vast sea, and
is flowing over a newly made channel by this
body of surplus water at the rate of ten miles
an hour. The river at this point, which is
usually three miles wide, Li now six miles wide.
The Northern Pacific trains will hardly be
able to cross the river for several days, and
Bismarck will probably be the western termi
nus fjr a week. Supt. Graham rittemlped
t 1 g. to Mandan, but the water on the west
side of the river is flowing over the track four
feet deep and the fires in the cugine were put
out. Mandan i-; submerged and the people in
the lower part of the city have been moving in
to upper stories of their dwellings. All small
dwellings on the banks of the stream have
icen swept away, and steamboats lying at
Kockhavcn are in danger. The high trestle
on the Northern Pacific at this point has been
iamaged. At I o'clock the new channel,
which the river has cut across the prairie, let
out the ice, and the river is falling slowly, but
the worst lias not come. The ice went out
at Fort Bufurd this morning with a rise of
thirty feet, ihe highest ever known. Tins
flood v ill not reach here until Saturday,
when there will probably be terrible destruc
tion .

Los Ani.ei.es, March 12, George Jones,
proprietor of the New York Times, arrive !
yesterday with his daughter, Mrs. Ireland,
who is travelling for her health. In an inter
view regarding volitic3 Mr. Jones said: "The
Times opposed Blaine in 1SS4 and will oppose
him again if he is nominated by the republi-
cans in 18SS. He is man whose whole policy
is all for Blaine and the rest may get what
they can. I Ie made innumerable mistakes
during the last campaign, and would have
stood a much belter show of election had he
remained in his modest Maine home. Ac-
cepting an invitation to dinner given by Jay
Could and Lusccl Sage was enough to con-
tlemn him, and the famous 'Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion' alliteration routed him horse,
foot and dragoons. As to whom the rcpubli-
cans will .nominate next time I cannot tell,
blame is w orking lor it with his whole soul
and may get the nomination, but he will never
be elected. If I were allowed to place a man
in nomination for the presidency, I should
name Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana.
.
Cleveland w ill be nominated by the democrats
for re-election, because they cannot do other
wise, lie is the first man in his party, and
his administration has been a most admirable
one, and receives the approbation of the whole
world. Hill has lost prestige in New York
by devoting more of his time to securing the
democratic nomination for president than to
affairs of stale, but he will not reach it, as
Cleveland will be nominated," In reply to a
question Mr. Jones said
"Yes, I voted for Cleveland, and I will do
so again. 1 am a strong republican, too.
Refcrrinr? to matters on the Pacific coast, he
said he was astonished at the wwlertul
0 ,
growth of the coast, anil says he w ill invest in
property here. He will visit Santa Barbara
and San Diego, and will also go to San Fran
cisco. He will remain on the coast for about
three months.

XEACIlEIt AXD TEACHER.
I think of all life's missions
The teacher's weary way,
Possesses much more sorrow,
More sadness day by day,
Possesses, without sympathy,
More tears than any other;
Then oh! how thoughtful we should be
In word toward one another.
I think we should strew roses, fair,
Along our brother's way
Should help the lower on the stair
Remembering clay is clay.
I'd rather bear the bitter smart
Of all a heart's unrest,
Than plant a (horn to rankle
In anothcrs teacher's breast.
I know it is true wisdom
That rosemary and thyme
Crushed send forth sweeter odors
Than expanded in their prime,
They could ofier, so with teachers
When we weary find the way,
Must remember lhat crushed spirits,
Bear their sweetness day by day.
Must remember that through suffering,
We the teachers path have trod;
That our brother, no less noble,
Bows beneath the same fierce rod.
Then when all the world oppresses
Half our sweetnesses to another, '
What Is nobler what is brighter
Than kind words of one another?

TO J1E BETTER UOJJ.V.
Agreeable with natural science, intelligence
has its terrestrial incipiency in the spire of
grass, in the seed lhat geiminates and in fact
in every vitalized organism which is imparted
by the unseen plasiic power, that grand in
finite entity. Tlie more favorable the circum
stances and the more congenial the conditions
the better will those things grow and develope.
Their development and improvement would
become perennial with each successive year
under the most favorable circumstances. Not
only the case w llh the vegetable kingdom but
with the animal also. Such being the case, of
what great importance and intrinsic value it
must be to improve the human species. We
all know that our habits, our food etc., have
muc.-. to do with our physical and mental con
dition. We know that dissipation or any
kind of excess is injurious to us mentally and
constitutionally, therefore whatsoever has such
an effect is injurious, not only to the individual
but also to the race. Such are in the cata
logue of sins and crimes so that whosoever
commits those things sins against all that is
good, against himself and against humanity
and is instrumental in transmitting those evils
to posterity. Though such an individual may
not become a father, his influence is of a with
ering, blighting character in society. In re
gard to so important a question we should
know the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth There is nothing good about
any thing that we ought not to know and if
there is any thing bad about it we ought to
know that too. We ought to know the true
and false in order to be able to discriminate
one from the other. We cannot sin and be
happy. It is no wonder that so many tfe
formed and partially insane and ieliotic foreign
ers appear in our country since they are the
offspring of oppressed and half starved parents
with a spark of hope kept alive by cheap beer
or Irish whiskey which temporarily stimulates
but ultimately effeminates. It is no wonder
that their progeny have the same incUnations.
It is no wonder lhat throughout thc entire
world there is so much crime since it has
become a disease and to a great degree a spe
cies of insanity.. It is no womltr that so lew
in proportion to the maximum number attiin
to any useful sphere in life since so many have
inherited an abnormal existence. There are
inherited diseases of a corroding loathsome
character coursing through the veins and as
tcrial system of thousands of our people, much
of which has been imported from all parts 0f I
the world awating an onportunity to make
havoc and devastation amongst thousands of
innocent offspring; Oh! how many cenera-
tions must suffer for the ingratitude of vicious
and foobsh people. Arc you aware
that when you transgress against all nature
and all mankind, that you violate the
whole constitution of society? Men and wo-1
nun should not flatter themselves with the
ideas that thev will snend the best nart of
are inexorable they will have lived shameful
lives and must die deplorably. In order for
succesding generations to be born belter,
mankind must live belter and become more
temperate, more virtuous, more humane, less
selfish and more scientific. And more relig
ious. Ed. - L. C. Hill.

tiqnisls the chance to help make the fur fly
during Ihe campaign. We don't want to lose
our liberty without a fair fight. When I was
a very small boy my grandfather took mc on

O O O . . J
ington for your liberty and sometimes bare
footed at that, and we want our freedom; now
when you get to be a man I want you to main
tain it." I was only ten years old fifty years
I ago but I remember him yet, he used liquor
and so did the family but did not get drunk,
and I never get drunk and don't go much on
drunkenness but I can't go back on something
1 that has saved my life at two different times.
Had I notjiad brandy the time I fell off the
harrow I would not be alive to-day, my time
would have been up. But here I am and hope
the time will ne ver come when I .can't buy
stimulants when ever I want them. Must I
be deprived of buying what I need in a free
country because some men take too much of a
good thing, too much of a good thing makes
it a bad thing of anything that is good. And
now I will not multiply words at this time.
