AdyertMitg rates nmtln known upon Kppllclttli.iu Friday, NovitMniiR 30, 19- The letters recently published in Bohemia Nugget relative to the organisation of a company with the view of constructing and operattng a smelter in Bohemia District, have treated considerable comment in mining circles in this vicinity and the people are gradually awakening to the realization that it is a neces sity that the people here and those interested in the district cannot well overlook longer. In fact it has been the consensus of opinion that it is the one thine needed for a number of years, but owing to tho Jack of capital the project has met With few supporters. Now it is proposed that a stock company be formed, each citizen and miner who has faith in the district subscribing for as many shares as he can afford. It is thought that in this manner the necessary funds can be pro vided. An encouraging feature at this stage of the proposition is that there is ono business man in this city who has already placed him self on record that he is ready to oign for 1000 shares at $1 per share. This is a good starter, and at that clip it will not be a difficult matter to organize a company that will conduct' a smelter that will make every good mining property in the district a dividend payer. No little comment has gone the rounds with reference to the prop erty assessment plan relative to the present street improvement. Natur ally the property owners wbo, in this instance, are being assessed to defray the expense incurred, ob ject to the assessment plan by which none but those wbo own property are directly benefited by the work laid out, claiming that it should be by general city tax On the other hand those who do not own property on the street fronts taking on the improvement, say that they ought not' to be made to pay for the improvementB directly Wnefiting property not possessed by them. It certainly does work a hardship on a man who is able to own above all in debtedness 80 or 100 feet of street front to go down in his pocket and pay $75 or $100 out in a lump for the improvement of the street; but no one can deny tliat once im proved that the property is not ma terially increased in value. How ever, in creating a street improve ment that increases the value of a property, it goes without saying that in a corresponding degree it increases the value of other prop erty within the corporate limits of the city, just the same as the plant jng ot a surub or nower improves and adds luster to the general ap pearauce ot the home grounds. 11ETALIA TIOX. B. F. Harvey who was on trial this week in the Douglas County Circuit Court charged .with the crime of rape on the person of Winnie Thorn, of Latham, was ac quitted, the jury bringing in a ver dict of not guilty. The case was a hold over from the last terra of court and has been one of the hardest fought during the adminis tration of Prosecuting Attorney Brown who assisted by his very able deputy Attorney L,. T. Harris, ot Eugene, has worked day and flight on the case. If the prelimi nary evidence was of any weight in final trial of the man it is difficult to see" tiow a jury could find him "not guilty," especially when it is remembered that bis recognized accomplice in the crime went to trial for the same offense oh the per son of (fie" same girl and was found guilty, and sentenced (o serve cut a terra in the penitentiary. If Harvey Js to go free it is about time to rn the rest of 'em out, The following is from the Rose burg Plaindealer and is self explanatory: Last week's issue of the Cottage Grove Leader contained an cil torial which was a disgrace to Ore vrou newsnanerdom. It was one of the rankest, most scurrilous and libelous articles that has yet come to our notice and a man who would write and publish such a disreput able effusion is dangerous to the peace and advancement of any com nninity, and a newspaper in the hands of such a man is a public menace. The article to which we refer was a vicious and libelous at tack upon the officials of the Rose burg land office and Hon. R. A. Booth, joint senator of Josephine, Douglas and Lane counties, and was prompted by an insane effort at retaliation for an imaginary wrong, the only grievance being that the Roseburg land officials persisted in exercising their official rights and were abiding strictly by the time honored custom of the office in placing its business with newspa pers representing and advocating administration principles, a rule which was closely observed and most rigorously enforced by the democratic officials of this land office, whom the present officials succeeded. Just what connection Hon. R, A Booth, of Lane county, is supposed , to nave with tins matter by the freak of the Leader is not clear, other than like a mad dog, he, in his frenzy, is snapping and bitting at everything coming within reach. The inspired edi torial to which we refer begins like this: "Of all the little contemp tible, hide-bound apes of humanity yet discovered, the Roseburg land office affords two of the most re markable deformities misguided nature has ever produced." And this libelous reference to Senator Booth in which he is charged of influencing the action of the laud office officials thusly. They "act ually fight legitimate demands for fair treatment of patrons whose wishes and interests happen to con flict with the order or wishes of a certain goody-goody Sunday school superintendent state senator and brother who owes his election mainly to the amount of whisky he was able to dispense to purchasable voters and to bulldozing laborers who were not his willing tools. But when the big dog growls the little pup barks, jumps sideways and makes a fool of himself gen erally." The article then con cludes thus eloquently: "And we believe that contemptible cowardice and lack of opportunity alone keeps such pudden-headed puppets from occupying a cell in the state cooler." It was such reason, sentiment and spirit that prompted the Haymarket riot, the stabbing of Austria's queen, and later the assassination of Italy's king. But luckily for the good citizens of Cottage Grove the circulating sphere of this black mailing, copperhead sheet is com paratively small, still, it remains a direct slam at the intelligence and enterprise of that progressive and prosperous community, and we sympathize with those public spirited citizens in that they must patiently submit to the publication of such a vile sheet in their thriv ing city. However, since the axiom is general among the people of our sister county that "when you read it in the Leader it' is a sign it is not so," such rot only adds to the odium now overshadowing that paper. The people of this section of Oregon can now settle on the fact that winter is upon them in earnest, and the next two months will be a delightful mixture of rain and mud with an occasional sunshine sandwich. Every stranger, every business man aud every traveling man who. steps off the cars nowadays imme diately remarks upon the improved condition of Main street. It is a splendid advertisement for the town and one that will assist in making a city of us yet NOTICK FOR l'UHLlOATION. Notice or Application or H.
