VOORHIES, Pkopk. k Mnqb Entered at the not office at Grants Paa, Ore((on, as Mcond-claiw mail matter. THURSDAY. JANUARY 1, 190:j, Judfro Alton B. Parkor of Now York is montlonod U a jirolialile democratic caiididula for llio lireiii dnncj In 1001. Jndfpi Parker Is a new man to tlio nation, but is strong in IiIh state Messages are now being sent daily across the Atlantic by wireless teie Krauli between GUeo Bay, Nova Kcotia, and Cornwall, Knglaud, wltli constantly lnerenning emeiencj. Home of tlio meHHiRc am quite lengtliy. President Roosevelt bus declined to accept tlio poiiitioii of arbiter in the Venezuelan controversy and the parties have agreed t present the matter to the lloguu tribunal, where it belongs. There is a good deal of disupjioiiitnieut evident in Knglaud at Roosuvolt's refusal, but bis course is very generally conimended in this couutry. Dinger Hemiunn bns resigned Ms position ascoinmissiouerof the general land office. He will return to Oregon and rumor savs be will have some part in the senatorial contest which will soon occupy tho attention of the legislature Hermann is a popular man in this section of tlm state and will bo a very considerable llguro if be enters tho field, A bill bas been prepared for pro sciitatioii to the legislature to create the office of labor commissioner. A vote was taken by lnlwr unions of the state, to determine their choieo as commissioner. Of loo unions In the state, only 22 voted on tho question. 1 lie rotes that wero cast gave a majority to O. Y. Harry. As Mr, Harry is democrat and as thu legis lature is republican, it is extremely doubtful if a bill carrying bis uame cuu puss the legislature and tho action may perhaps have the effect of killing tho measure. Mrs. Tingloy of Point Loiiut con tinea to deservo notoriety. Among the many jxirnliar doctrines which aro in force at her "school" is that mother lovo should bo killed. The child Vint is afflicted with mother lovo, says Mrs. Tingley, canuot "ait ranee, " so she insists that the senti ment shall cease among thu children who attend her school. Investiga tions of bur institution do not result at all in its favor. It and its doctrines seem to be the product of a mind that Is unhealthy and its result if contin ued cannot be other than the dissemi nation of the disease. The empire of Morocco is in the throes of revolution, with all ad vantage to the inaunectloulsts and a downfall of the present government seems probable. Morocco is a country where ancient Moorish customs and barbaric conditions have endured with little change. The sultan Is an absolute monarch and a desjKit. The capital, Kea is far in the in terior and surrounding by deserts. Civilian inn of a modern order bits prevailed only in a very small degree ill Morocco. Foreigners are bitted unil generally find it to their interests to stay out of tho couutry. I. lias been said that New Year's day is "a day to dream by," a day of Ideals which we never reach and which for the other !l4 days we do not try to reach. This is prnlutl.lv truo In a great measure, yet it is Weil worth while that there should Ik' Mich a dny, when Hi,, current of thought, plan, motive mid intention is lifted BlH.vo the every day level. Not all .if ns have high Ideals on New Years .lay. Some of us ate poverty stricken in ideals of any kind. Hut there are enough who, on New Year's dnv, bring forth their best ideals ami earnestly resolve, for the year to come, to live closer to them than ever before, to give this day an uplifting and improving quality which has more effect and intliieiice than any of uc realise. When a considerable number of Jicoplo make a simultaneous resolve to do better, gotsI must result from tin very lesolve, if it Mj,,,.,, ,,,.,, tbough little subsequent effort is made to carry it out.

Comparatively little work h,,s been done on the mine and the fact tlial capitalists were eager to take hold nf It at this figure in an undeveloped condition shows the iniirvclniiHly line promise given by tin. mine. It ban, however, been develoS'd to some ex tent by nature, as a small creek has uncovered tho ledge for a distance of about SID) feet. The ledge has also Imm'U cut ill several places by tunnel and shaft. The vein Is eight, feet in width, and the ore is in tlio main freu milling, though carrying a small percentage, of sulphurets which are of exceptionally high grade.

The only discord that happened at our dance occurred wlien one man got away with another fellows girl. lie is taking it very much to heart, but time reconciles all things. Christmas bas come and gone. We have had an enjoyable time and a big time here in our town; a regular old fashioned dance, good music, every body enjoyed themselves. We aro sorry to say that we have some young men who have returned from their Christmas vocations who look like some of onr girls that are getting ready to be married. Our Christmas weather was warm and fine. The following Saturday night gave us a little snow, pcrsum ably for the boys to bunt rabbits, al though the snow was hardly enough for the purpose. Our city laws are very strict regard ing thu throwing of banana peelings or other obstructions on our streets. One young lady while promenading Front street stcplsal on a banana jsei ing or something else mid strained oiio of her ankles. Our oily marshal has given strict orders that all ob structions must lie given in charge of the street commissioner and cart, d to thegarlngo pile. He said, "A word to thu wis., is sufticient. " Mr. Stout at Tunnel I) hud a nice Christmas tree. A nice crowd gathered there. Tin, tree was well decorated and had a nice display of presents. All of the assemblage received pres ents mid after they were distributed, Mrs. Stout gave a nice repast lit and becoming for the occasion, then fol lowed singing and recital ions. Mr. Stout took the cuke ill singing comical songs. Religious and sentimental songs were sung by Mrs. Stout mid the boys, who showed a talent for singing. Now I shall digress from my former articles. I see the iish warden is find ing fault Willi the dams that urn being built ill Koguo river. Ho says this obstruction will prevent the fish rrom coming up the river to their spawning grounds. Now, does our honorable fish warden know why these large ditches ife being built to convey tlio water from Hogtie river and tribu taries? Wu will give him the faintest details of tin, result to Jackson and Josephine counties. It will mean the irrigation of largo bodies of land. Where now only liny and other small crops nro raised, will 1m hay nf all kinds three or four crops each year and vegetables without end, while, on the other hand if wn have fish culture u favored levy will enjoy tlsli for n short time of tin, year. Our country here has always been the background; now when we start to build up Oregon we don't want a M-rson to kick. We have always had a lot of mossbacks in Oregon, but now as wo have a new influx of people, givo them it chance to invest their money for the country's good. As I was from Caiiada, I want to see the country grow. Wide Awake. Hugo Item. Literary every Saturday night. Mr. John Willsie hits just received from the east, a slump puller.
