VOOIUIIES, I'ROPR. & MNOB FRED MENSCn, Editor Entered at the post oWce at Oranta Ps-s, Oregon, aa second-clam mail matter. THURSDAY, OCTOHEIl 30, 1001. General;Nelon A. Miles, In bil report says that the aboil' Ion of the armjr can teen was a good measure and baa oper ated beneficially. Gen. MileV opinion on inch labjocti Is of value. Messenger Charles F. Charles, the heroic, Is to be rewarded by promotion If more express messengers and those in like positions had bis nerve, high way rubbery would he far more liar.ard ous and less lucrative than It is. Leon Cioluosi. the murdurer of Mc Kinley, was electrocuted on Tuesday morning at Auburn, N. Y, lie met dnalh with the same sullen, stupid In difference that he hsa maintained throughout. Klamath Kails has several cases of the Manila small-pox and is experiencing the annoyance of hysterical reports con cerning it. It is too bail that it cannot be called something else than "small pox" though it Is a form of that disease, on account of the panicky effect of the name. The Ashland saloon casus are set for hearing in the supreme court on Nov. 4, and the decision Is awaited with In terest. The appeal was taken on the grounds that there was not lulllclenl authority In Ashland's charter to sup port the ordinance under which the convictions were made. Arliona, New Mexico and Oklahoma are seeking admission to statehood. In polut of population, wealth and general importance, they compare favorably with some of the states which have been admitted and, as there seems to be no serious political reason against their ad mission, It Is likely their claims will re ceive favorable consideration. A begging scheme which Is bell g worked to finish Is the one in which the unfortunate has prlnlud cards which he proffers with a humble and mournful sir to benevolently Inclined individuals. Homelimes the cards have little versos printed on them, sometimes a bit of sage wisdom or a scriptural quotation, but they always say, "Please give what you can." This schema has been so successful that it is being worked daily by those whose claim to crippledoin is very slight indeed. We all feel sym pathy for the unfortunate but this graft is being workod so purseverlngly that it is about worked out. A lease granting the free use of a lot In the northeast corner of the railroad park, for a mining exhibit, has been received from the railroad company. The company is taking an active interest in the proposed exhibit, believ ing that it would be of material aid in the development of our county's resour ces. In matters of this kind, the iuterests of the railroad company and of the people are identical. Increased development means increased business for the railroad and to build up the dis tricts through which the lines run is, for the company, the most far sighted and soundest business policy. The Southern Tactile is showing its readinees to help in any war to develop southern Oregon and it is to Its interests so to do. Halloween pranks are growing stead ily more and more into disfavor each succeeding year. They are stale. They are not now estoumcd tunny, but silly and stupid. They have been so over done and overworked that the public is heartily and sincerely tired of them. In so many instances they pass the bounds of sKrt and become crime, that tin matter becomes serious. An aggrega tion of irresponsible youths, turned loos with lalschiel on the brain, cannot tell w here to stop. They have not the men tal balance that tells them where fun ceases and crime begins. Hut Hallo ween pranks are like comic valentines, and there are always soma that will in dulge in them while a long suffering public endures as patiently ss It may. An ordinance is under consideration by the city council to prohibit the rid ing of bicycles on sidewalks within the city limits. The pause of this ordi nance ran not fail to be a more or less serious inconvenience to the mauy ho use bicycles in the winter, when the streets are wet and muddy. Kor this inconvenience, i! they are subjected to It they mav tkank those of their num ber Jho so vreisteully ignore the rights of pedestrians uu tideaalss. The lirealer number of whevluisn do respect the pedestrians' riiibtK, hut a le do 1 o' and It is solely on account of these w that the present measure Is pro jected. On the sulraalks, the pedes trian has the first right. II lie gets out if the way for a bicycle, It is courtesy on hif part snd should he no appre ciated The abeelnitn should alaavt keep in mind a feeling of gratitude that he is permitted to ri to iioii the side walks. Nearly all the i ffeudrrs ill tins regard are young boys They assu.ue proprietorship and right of aar of the whole thormigihfar and drive pdes triaua into the cutter ailli an air of grand Impudence that becomes in supportable. If all ihuw who ride biccles were decent and courliout in there use of the suleaalks, they might use tin ni nub finitely, but ail are not and the number is tutl'uieiit to bring discredit on the whole fraternity.

On Friday evening a meeting was held at the parlors of the First National bank for the purpose of making a con certed action toward the more extensive advertisement of Josephine county's many resources and advantages. The meeting was attended by 15 or 10 of the representative business men snd promi nent citisens of Grants Pass. IJ. O. Booth, president of the Mining snd Commercial club, was called to the chair and R. W. Clark was chosen secretary. The object of the meeting was stated by K. L. Coe. He strongly advocated the establishment "' Per manent mining exhibit in a suitable building to be situated on the coiner of the railroad park nearest the depot. The railroad ollicia's had elTircd the use of the ground rent free for the pur pose and were taking an active- interest in the proposed movement. Judge Axtoll mado a lulling speech, saying that the future of this county was largely dependent on the mines. He mentioned the fact that the assessment rolls of the county showed an increiixn of aliout IHO.OOO over last year, mostly In mines and mining property. The several ways ol advertising and the different methods of placing money to advantage In this lino were discussed at some length. No definite action was taken beyond the appointment of a committee to investigate the boat means of procedure. H I,. Coe, II. L, ijilkoy and W. If. Hair constitute the commit tee.

A Fin October. It hat been a rare October. No two years, seasons, months, are alike In Oregon. Every year, and most months, have their surprises. Even taking into consideration eitended periods of clondy, damp weather, Ihe year presents an agreeable variety, though not such great contrasts as in eastern states. "Tobiin who, in the love of Nature, holds communion, with her visible f rras, she speaks a various language," and there is charm in any tort ol we.hr, at there is in any kind of land scape.

Psxnthar, The report Is current that Misses Anna Caton and Mvrile Love had a narrow escape from a panther at the Jadie Hanna place near the Meadows, In Jackson county. The girls were engaged in washing clotbos at the creek, a short distance from the house, when one of them hap pened to so a large panther ronched in the brush within loa'r vardi of them. The big beast was crouched close upon tho ground, waving- hia lall to and fro, his glaring eys fixed upon the two girls, real to make the fatal spring. Miss Caton, whose attention was first attracted by the panther, daahed an armful of dollies into the lac of the panther and the two women ran screaming to the house. The panther, hafHaxl and taken unaware at so unexpected a repulse, skulked away into the woods. At this same place, about a year ago, two panthers attempted to carry off the littl babe of Mrs. Louis Bollee, but they were foiled in their attempt by the mother of the child, sle driving away the beast with a shotgun. The beasts viden ly hav their lair somewhere in tb canyons of tbs Meadows district. A Squsxw Mtan' Love. W. A.
