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

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

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

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.

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

rkmio of our friends ask the ques
tion, why the Courier docs not take
more advertisements. The editor
wants to print the news of Josephine
county.
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.
