INCREASE THE PENSIONS.
It is announced that Pension
Comruissioiier Eugene Ware in
tends to resign in 1904. It is to be
hoped that it will be early in the
year. The Washington corres
pondent of the Oregouian, while
admitting that Commissioner Ware
is a man of lofty ideals and honest
purpose, says that he is utterly
lacking in discretion and kock!
judgment. The same authority
further says:
"Not long ago he undertook,
before the public, to determine the
constitutionality of a certain pen
sion law passed by the last Con
gress. He refused to grant pen
sions authorized by that act be
cause he held the law to be uncon
stitutional. His rulings on Indian
War pension cases many of the
cases arising in Oregon have been
in direct violation with explicit in
structions issued to hiai by the Sec
retary of the Interior, who placed
a liberal construction on the Indian
War Veteran act, and instructed
Commissioner Ware that that act
was intended to pension all men
who actually served 90 days in the
early Indian wars. Ware has
utterly disregarded the instructions
of bis superior, and continues to
administer this act to meet his own
personal views.
"What he has done with regard
to Indian War Veterans he has
done in other instances, and in this
way has made himself particularly
obnoxious to his superiors. In this
respect Ware is uncontrollable.
He overestimates the importance
of his position, and has no regard
whatever for the orders of officers
who outrank him. He has become
a considerable burden to the Ad
ministration, and his retirement
will take place with the distinct un
derstanding that the Administra
tion wants some other man for his
office."
It is a shame that these gray-
haired veterans of the Indian wars
in Oregou, many of them so old
and feeble that they are totally in
capacitated, who have waited all
these years that justice might be
done them, should he deprived of
their rights by an over-zealous
stickler who sets himself above the
law-makers of the land.
The Nugget believes that the
money paid out in pensioning the
"boys in blue," who risked their
lives that the nation might live,
and who made it possible for we, of
this generation, to partake of the
bounteous blessings which we en
joy, is the wisest and most judicious
expenditure of the National gov
ernment. Nearly every dollar of
this money goes back into the
Impossible to travel over by team.
The wood could be cut and piltd
at convenient points along the track
durinff the dry season. The freight
charge on firewood to the city is
but 6sc per cord. After the rains
set in and the roads become had
the market price of it goes up to a
figure the difference between which
and the former price will pay the
freight charges. Thus the pre
ducer is enabled to get tne same
price for his commodity a few
months later without the trouble of
hauling it several miles. There is
always a firm market here for
wood. Those who are forehanded
enough to take advantage of the
opportunity can always have ready
money in their pockets.
In this issue we give a detailed
statement of the improvements and
conditions at the Lucky Boy mine,
in the Blue River Mining District.
To us who have lived near this
property this story does not come
as a creat surprise, because we
have frequently heard of it. But
we are aware that il is not known
to the great majority of Kastern
people. This is also true of many
other mines in this state. If these
mines had been in Montana, Ne
vada, Idaho, Utah, Colorado or
California, they would now have a
national reputation-, and they
would have been the means of
bringing capital to those states
This clearly proves to us that we
have mining districts in this state
second to none in the United States.
and that it is clearly our duty as
cittz'iis of Oregon to advertise our
mineral resources and bring in the
much-needed cnpit.il to develop
tliem.
The public stands aghast at the
appalling magnitude of the postal
department graft, in which officials
stand in with law breakers and
thieves.
We respectfully call the attention
of the Street Committee of the
Council to the filthy condition of
Main street. Gentlemen, please
act.
NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
In view of the fact that nearly all
of the country, as well as city
papers, have been compelled to in
crease both their subscription and
advertising rates in order to meet
the greatly advanced cost of paper
and other printing material, action
of a similar nature having only re
cently been taken by the E'igene
papers, notice Is hereby .given that.
commencing January 1, 1904, the
Bohemia Nugget and Lane Cou,ity
Leader will be compelled to in
crease their display advertising
rates, to 50 cents per single column
inch, instead nf iiA rfnfs npr innh I
, .jj - - -
as heretofore. No advance what
ever will be made in the subscrip
tion price of the papers, and the
price for locals will remain the
same 5 cents per line. We feel
that our many patrons and friends
will recoguize the fact that this
newly established rate is even yet
below that charged by many of the
other Oregon country weeklies of
the circulation of our papeis.
Thanking our many advertisers for
their liberal patronage in the past
and soliciting a continuance of the
same, we remain,
Respectfully,
Sohemia Nugget,

simple justice, Congress should

The lumber business is by far the
greatest industry m the state, and
will fee for years to come. Oregon
has more timber than any state in
the Union. Lane county has more
tiraoer man any tner county m
the United States. Thousands of
dollars have been invested in tbe
sawmill business in the past few
years. Can the people of Oregon
afford to stand idly bv and see this
industry stifled in its infancy by
the railroad company. The state of
Texas has a statute requiring rail
roads to supply freight cars within
n specified time ater application
therefor is made by shippers. Such
a law should bs enacted at this
special session of the Oregon Legis
lature. It would place the lumber
industry on a solid basis, and for
ever protect the operators of small
mills from llie machinations of
tlioe who would seek to destroy
th-ir business. If the lumber in-du-try
is worth protecting, now is
the time for the people of the
State of Oregon to take the neces
sary steps, and a good time for tbe
members of the Legislature to
prove their fidelity to the interests
of their constituents,
It would seem as though the
residents along the right-of-way of
the O. & S. E., that is, those who
nave timber on their lands, and
most of them have, could flud re
munerative employment in furnish
ing the local market with firewood.
The railroad supplies a convenient
mean? of transporting the wood to
market durtfj the winter months
