VOORIIIES, FRED MENSCH, Plloi'R. k MNOB - Editor Entered at the pout oflice tt Granta Oregon, as second-clans mail matter. THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1902. - Representative Moody Friday tavor ably reported in the Indian committee, Representative Tongue' bill to ratify the treaty with the Klamath Indians, whereby they cede to the United States tract of 621,824 acrea of their reserva tion, for which the goyernment agree to pay them $537,007. Scandalous report come from the Philippine of cruelty to the natives by American troops. These are very gen erally discredited by those wbo are com petent to judge of their truth. It is probable that the American army con tain ruflian. They are met with in all walk ol life and the condition of army life are often such as to foster the spirit of ruffianism. Hut the ruffian in the army constitute only a small minority of the soldier. If outrago by them occur, it Is only in isolated cases and the perpetrator are punished whenever they can be located. Secretary of the Navy Long ha ten. dered hi resignation of the portfolio and it ha been accepted by President Roosevelt. His successor is Congress man Moody of Masaachussata. The re lations between Roosevelt and Long weiu pleasant and there was no friction between them to cause the secretary to resign. Long bad intended to resign im mediately after the death of McKluley, . but remained until certain lines of policy in which be was involved were more sat isfactorily arranged. Long has been sub jected to aharp criticism during hi term and has been often accused ol unjust favoritism, particularly against Schley and favoring Sampson, yet ou tb whole lie ba exhibited a yeryceedi table ability in th management of the affair ol tb navy. Iord Kitchener again "regret to re port" a very serious disaster in South Africa, Tb Hours hav captured General Methuen and four guns after a hard battle. Methuen was moving to Lichlonburg with 1200 men and four guns. The llrtlisb had moved out of their camp about three o'clock In the morning and Just before daybreak were attacked by the Iloers under Delarey. The Boer attacked on three aide and aoon stampeded the British mules, wbo forthwith ran away with the baggage wagons, throwing the entire British column into dire confusion. The British lost three officer and 38 men killed, five officer and 71 men wounded and 200 men missing. Methuen was wounded and taken prisoner. The ability of the Boer to Inflict an injury to th British of so serious a nature a this come a surprise to many who believed them almost at the end of their resistance. Their fighting qualities are aurberb and they show a fertility of le sourc and ability in the unequal war fare which seems almost miraculous. William Bind Roosevelt. The similarity between Empeior William and 1'resident Roosevelt not exactly in their politics, but in their mental, physical, moral and admlnia tratlv makeup geuerally-bas been repeatedly noticed. It 1 stated in an exebaage that Kmperor William can talk Suently In six language. He has written a play and conducted It re hearsal. Ne man live a busier 111 than he, but on the discovery of the Roentgen rey be telegraphed for Professor Roentgen and talked with him (or hours, lis lis written a public prayer and eon ducted a choir. He can cook hi own dinner, can play chess, paint pictures and draw caricatures. He bsa learned engineering and studied electricity. Though he can us only one arm, he can shoot game for four hours at the rale of two minute. He has over a hundred title and is an Admiral iu Ihre of the biggest nayie. Iu twenty Bve year he ha (hot 23,000 bead ol game. He changes his drest a doaen time a day. ha a dosen valet, and hi wardrobe I worth 500,000. Oh my I We are afraid this beats our president In aooi particular. Hut it may be assumed that he can talk Chi nook and Spanish, beidee very good English. That after having lived out in the Rocky Mountains several years, he can cook a dinner there can be no doubt. And we will put him ap against William to shoot wild game any day. He may not be as versatile, or change his clothes quite so often as William, but we wouldn't trade rulers, not if the Kaiser would throw Iu all his royal relations -'to boot," Telegram.

The Grants 1'acs Board of Trade have lnstiucted their olilcer to proceed with, the construction of the Josephine county chamber ol exhibits, and while the building committee are ready and anxious to begin at the earlieat possible moment, thay find that the amount of easb subscribed will barely purchase the materials used in the construction ol the building as per plans and specifica tion now on band. This leaves one of two course open to the committee, namely, to change plan and build a mailer and cheaper building, or raise more money and labor. To cheapen th building would be to detract from it effectiveness as an advertising medium and this no citizen who has seen th plan 1 willing to do.

Ml. Hood, Mt. .lefleraon, and the Three Sisters and other snow-capped peaks are kept in sight for hours. The beautiful valleys of the Umpqna and Hogue River, with their orchards of prunes, peaches, apples, and other fruits are a delight in them selves. The crossing of the great mount ain barrier between Oregon aud Calif ornia reveals the grandest in mntain sce nery in the United States. The wonderful turning!), twistings, and doublings ol the railroad bring into view a grand array of towering mountains and profound gorges into which we gaze from dizzy heights, forest clad mountain slopes stretching up to the line of perpetual snow, and the foaming mountain streams dashing fiercely down deep canyons, now and then stopping for a short rest in some iuiet pool. After a day's enjoyment of old Mt. bhasta, the finest peak on the continent, we drop rapidly down the canyon of the Hacramenlo to the broad plains of the Hacremento Valley in Cal ifornia, and thence through viueyards and orchards to Han Francisco.

He said- Though the field work his been carried on to quietly as to excite little attention, every mile of the road is surveyed. We surveyed from Kureka on the roaxt, lo the Kacrumeiito river, just above Budding. On the east side of the river, out through lliiruey vallev, we adopt a full survey made by the L'uiun Pacific several years ano. In brief, this is the route: "We run (roin Kirekaa little south of eist aero Humboldt and Trinity coun ties. We hear six miles south of Wea verville. It is impossible to pass nearer that town, owing to the tnpogra phy of the country. Of course, a branch will eventually run to Weaverville. We come straight through the Shasta divide to Tower House through old Simla and straiifht down Middle creek, near the public road to the Sacramento river. We cross the river at a point near the northern limits of Redding. To go up IMl river at once is out of our way, so we run up North Cow creek to Hatchet creek, pans hack of Carlberrys, down Barney creek, through Ilurney valley. ilutiice fallowing the geueral course of (ha l'ilt river to Fall River mills, through a corner of Lassen, past Alturas, in Modoc, and Lnkeview, In Southern Oregon, aud northeasterly through Lake, Harney and Mainour counties to Weiser, on the Orcgun an l Idaho line. From Weiser thero is a narrow-gauge line running 10J miles north. This will bi widened to the standard gauge and J. J. Hill will build south from the (ireat Northern to connect with this. From the Fall River mills a branch I'ne will run lo the southeait through Lassen ountyto Termo, lo connect aiih the Northern California and Oregon to Keno Nevada, which becomes part of our system. The road from F.urekn lo Redding will be lilt) miles long. Ill greatest elevation will he 4iKM feet, and the heaviest grade will he 3 per cent. Captain IeLamar and 1 have been working with Mr. Ilarriman for (our months to prevail upon him to build a brunch line to Bully Hill. Tho Simla Mineral Belt Railway Company is surveying (or a raid to Bully Hill. If they build it, all right, but we have promised Captain IM.amar the railroad to Bully Hill within six months. Asked whether his company should put ou a line of Bteamers from Kureka lo the Orient, I'roctor said : We are building a railroad; doubtless the itteaiuvr line will take care of itself.

If ibe immigration that is coming to this coast iroin th frozen eastern states had a few copies of the Cot sua to illustrate this part ol Oregon, there would not be so many of them stopping in the northwest.

On Tunnel 0 creek and its tributaries there is a large amount ol land that can be bought cheap. The said land is well adapted to the raising of fine apples. It has natural drainage, aritli no fronts at the time of apple blooming. (J.
