The monotonous senatorial deadlock
at Salein has furnlBhetl more Interesting
feature this neck. Mcliride apparently
realizing the iinprobahility of his eltc
tion, withdrew and liii followers trans
ferred their support to ueo 11. n imam.
ir., . Av m two. On Tueflay'i ballot
the Mcliride votea went to Hermann
who received 29 voles, with 31! for Cor
belt. The democratic vote is still given
to Smith. Mitchell's name has not yet
appeared as a candidate, but it is sus
pected that he has deep id schemes
for capturing the aenator'uil t"a In the
taut hours of the voting.
St. Valentine's day is the survival of
au old heathen festival of ancient Koine,
the Hupeicalia. It was the custom at
this lestival for the young men to draw
tablets, on which the names of maidens
were inscribed, from boxes, alter the
manner of a lottery Each youth
tupposed to be lailhlul to the lady
whose name lie drew, until the next
succeeding Hupercalia. HI. Valentine
was a prieHt who was uurtyred in the
reign of Kmperor Claudius. When lie
was canonized as a saint, February 14
wajjcel apart In his honor. When
Koine was chribtianized, the heathen
festivals were replaced as far as iniglit
be, with religious celebrations and so
the Hupercalia and St. Valentine's day
became one Mid the same.
II all the labor that hafheen thrown
away and wasted by fixing ban roads to
no purpose, in till county, lisd been
expended in a manner tending to perma
nent excellence, we would by this time
have a system o( boulevards, com
paratively speaking, all over thl county
instead of Hie siiectacular affairs which
now blast our sight, both in and out of
town. The weathor lor the past few
week has been conducive to the forma
tion ot mud and the elements have re
sponded with enthusiasm, therelore our
roads are sight to behold. Uood mad cost
but they pay. The wear and tear on ve
hicles horseflesh alone would, the energy
being expanded in a more Judicious way,
build a lew tulles ol road esch year.
Uood road are ag-. .its ol civilization and
prosperity. Their worth is beyond
computation a la also the calamity ol
being deprived of them.
Ht. Valentine' day had a heathen
origin and .it has a most heathenish
characteristic clinging to it, the custom
of sending the so called "comic"
valentine which aro no more comic or
tunny than la a coarse insult nf any
other kind. In fact, they are ol a lower
order ot abu.ie than insults ol other
varieties, as added to malice and venom,
'they have the additional feature of
cowardice to make their depravity com
plete. The United H talcs mails should
be closed to them as they are tu other
Indecent literature and every means
should be used by which their disrepute
mav be iienerallv comprehended. The
eron whose evilly working mind tlrst
first conceived them should he hailed as
public malefactor. Every one who
receives a missive ol this disreputable
variety should have the strength of
mind to cast the villainous thing into
the stove without even unfolding it and
ao defeat it purposes and designs.
Representative Htory lias introduced
In the house a hill c.iliblishing a mining
bureau tor the State ol Oregon and
creating the ollice ol commissioner ol
mines. The bill has been reported
favorably to the legislature by the com
mittee on mine tn whom it was re

The criticism is justly maJe that
Grants Pass audiences are altogether
too economical with their applause
They aro not unappreciative but fail to
reali.D the assistance and pleasure which
a demonstration of applause gives .the j

fail to depress llie orchestra who could,
not know the extent to which their
music had really been appreciati j

And you will be in the lead from start to finish. These wheel
weigh fiom 22 to 26 pounds, and are constructed of the best material
obtainable. We sold over 100 Crescents last year and but one frame
proved defective. The Kacyele is warranted lor one year. The
Steams will be made by the Crescent people, and will be the same
fine piece of mechanism as usual. The Crawford and B & II Sjhc
ial will be greatly improved and are perfect beauties. The Spaul
dinj; is a new one in this place but is one of the leading wheels iu
the Mast, and is fully warranted.
I sell for cash ot on installments, and take old wheels in part
payment, I equip any of the above wheels with any make of
