In regard to the "f!rab bilif; ' ' of tliulsT land ly bif concern while it i possible that tliia may have been donn ill pome cases, tin' great ma jority of tlio timber locations have been made in pood faith by k ople of only moderate meniiH. The Ashland Tribune ill mi utteni)! to defend Ashland's action in arrang ing for a carnival company on the. wiuie dales for which nun bad been ar ranged, ha the understanding that (iranta I'usa carnivul was not thought of, or if it was, it was not known in Ash hind at the limo the Woodmen (I that town onion d into their agrocinoiii with the carnival company. This statement of the Tribune's is entirely wrong. Tho iirrangemi nls for tin Grams I'ass carniral had been entered Into many weeks prior to tlnit time and the matter had b t n well adver tised and published in nearly, if no! quit" all, of tho valley paisrs. The Tribune disclaimed any malicious ' spirit ou Ashland's part, but, Judging only by apicaraiiecs, tint people, not only of Grunts Pass, bnt of Medford, Jacksonville: and Gold Hill certuiniy do credit Ashland with such mali cious intuition and small spirit. Ashland has certainly failed to "avoid tiiu apisariinon of evil." Some jstsoii or (srsoiis, with a mendacious faculty which is appall ing, spread tho rctKirt last week in Gold Hill and Sams Valley thai Grants Pass was full of smallsix and that our carnival had been sist jxined. Wo aro glad that tlio liar wa a fool ish liar and pprung his reservoir of falsehood in tluiu so that tho js'Ople of those districts may bo apprised of tho entire falsity of thu report in plenty of time for them to attend the carnival There is no mnallixix here, nor has thero been a single raso for two months past. It is common rumor hero that a citizen of Ashland was in Gold Kill recently with his mouth foil of smallpox resrts about Grants l'ass. It is hard to bellrvo that any organization or resjjioiisiblu js.rsons would for any reason stoop to such fhods j it would seem morn likuly to bo the work of some Individual of nirrow Intellect, yet lifter Ashland's contemptible action in the matter of tho carnival, the town has made itself liable to any suspicion in the matter of narrow sollislnie.s and senseless jealousy. It would be an Idiotic sup jsisition that such methods will help their carnival. The jsaipli. all over the Uoguc river valley have observed their action with manifest disapproval and if it should be known that the sinalltsix slory emamiti a from Ashhui,! it would ls a lioomerang fatal to their event anil the authors of the Table would bo "hoist on their ow n petard" with a vengeance, for Southern Oregon lx-oplo will not supisnt any such bureau of mendacity If they are aware of it, CANTATA OF THE MIDGETS oive liooii Performance but Mutiny Lifts Itor Horrid Hrr-d Tho ".Mystic Midgets" oN rcta en .Monday evening was a very bright and pretty pet fnrmiineo.

The fray occurred b.lweeii " Hank" Williams ami Itubc I'unkey. The trouble started in the Corner saloon, where I'.inkey bad been mixed up in a fight earlier in the day. He had been drinking considerably mid was cpiar ri Isoine ami abusive under the i'l llu. nee of the liipior. Williams aud I'ank.y, it seems, had agreed to go across the river and light it out. I'anl.ey at this time was carrying u good deal of liipior and was unsteady on his feet. Several others wire with the party, among them Pankev's brother. They went down Si.xth street iihoul three blocks when by some word or action tho trouble was p rocip it.it. d there. Williams struck I'aukey, knocking him down, and ki.k' d Ii i in in Ihe load, cutting and hiiiising his scalp in a fearful manlier. It is claimed that W illiams also was Ml ruck from behind by one of I'ankcv s adherents. Williams was arrested and has been released on bail pending his trial w hich w ill be held Thurs day. At last accounts, Pankey was making a good progress toward recov ery and it is probable that his skull is not fractured as was at lirst feared.

Kditor Itogue River Courier: The ' Since the Soothern Pacific railroad other day I received from the secre- f has been organizing exrorsioua to tary of the Grants Pass Hoard of , Crater Lake, Oregon, the demand for Trade, a circular to be signed by the ' a map of the region has greatly in miners of Althouse, Josephine county, creased, and to meet this demand, the protesting against the action of the Deiartmcut at Washington, D. C. making a F'. rest Reserve of any part of Southern Oregon as put forth in the Newspajs-rs. lint tho board of trade seems to advocate the timber interest and tho mill man's right over ! all others, forgetting that the many j timber entries already mado and which we see advertised in the county jaitH-rs have len made by peo ple brought here mostly from tho east and that too, most likely by some one or company of men who wish to play the old hogging game, such as has been done in so maiiT other states hr oping up thousands of acres of tim ber land for their own u e and bene fit, the poor foolish locator receiving from one to threo hundr-sl dollars for what will return to the bis; investor loo.ooo, but this is not tlio end of the injury by any means. For the past 2.r years I have told the Courier of the riches which lay hidden iu the rocky hills of Joseph iiu-. Supiwuo you permit those timber locators to per fect their titles on the thousands of ai res of hind for its timber and stone. what w ill become of your hundreds of miners? Onco all the land is sold to these timlier-iiionopolios they not only gobble our timber but they would nlso own all the mineral deposits in the ouuly. The reserved country should ha kept by the goiernmeiit for the prospector and gold seeker. Everj laynow, brings to light new evid, nee of mineral wealth in the shape of gold, copper or some other precious metal to work which, the very tim ber grow ing on the hills is, and will be, needed, iu plenty. I say, and so says every minor w ho knows anything of under ground workings. Keep the timber for the use of the mines for if not needed today it will furely 1st needed bye and bye, for without timlsT, a miner cannot work. Those risk ribbed mountains er- teiKting from the Applegato to the Coast range from east to west, will at no distant day prove a, sourco of un told wealth. They will furnish re munerative labor for thoufanils of hardy miners who w ith their families w ill find snug little homes in the lit tle glades and valleys which, wilh tho assistance of the springs which arc found in almost every vallev will bo made to bloom and blossom like a small Kden.

Crater Lake special map, prepared by the Lnitcd States Geological Survey, has been brought op to date and ex tended as to represent the whole of tho Crater Lake National Park, on the scale of one mile to an inch. The map is now ready for distribution. The elevations and depressions are shown by contours representing ver tical intervals of 100 feet. To denote the very steep inner slope of the great depression containing tiic lake, the contours are crowded close together; to show the outer gentler slois;, they are far ajmru The soundings of the lake are marked on the map, and its greatest depth, nearly 20K) feet, makes it the deepest fresh water lake iu the United States. On the back of the map is a descrip tion by Mr. J. S. Diiler of tho geo logical features aud history of Mount Mazama, including the eruptiou of its lava flows and pumice, its glucia tion, and its final eugalfnient, which produced the great caldera, Ou the bottom of which arose a small vol canic one that uow loiuis Wizard Island, in the lake. Three excellent views aro given ; one, of tlio western part of tho rim, from a photograph by Mr. Burton L. Cniininghum, of Ashland; another shows Mount Maza ma restored; and the third is a view of a model which makes the depres sion containing the lake very -impress ive. The price of the map is five cents. A peculiar railroad accident occurred i the Grants Pass yards Tuesday morning almost directly iu front of the d, K)t.
