Onoe more the Christmas time is with m; the time when Joy comes into tlio Iioqio. Though thoro is oc casfonaUy a home which " Hunts Clans" never enters and where Christmas day is the same, as any other day of the year, such pluc.es aro comparatively very few and in Dearly every homo Christmas day is a day of gladness. The littlo folks hail the time with unsubdued gh'O and receive their Rift in an abandon of happiness impossible to those of elder growth. Though selfish grati flcntiop niay predominate in the ex trcmoly young minds, tlio children qaiclily learn the trao significance of tlio gifts and find ns much joy In giving as in receiving gifts. The season teaches them in generosity and regard for others; two things of Which the world cannot have too much. Christmas is a -day of re unions, fiim i ly ties knit closer and friendships strengthened. Its in- flnheoe is opliftlng and were It not for Christmas and similar festivals, the world would lie far worse than " ln" Daring tha past tew weeks the mechanical department of the Courier lias been operating under difficulties and disadvantages which aro yet present ;and will continue until the completion of the lower story of the oow balding. Ever since the Ooaiior began to vulargo and improve Its plant, its quarters in the old Iron building havo been cramped and in oon von lent When the recent build ing operations began around and abovo tlio old building, the liicou vonlouee was naturally lneresed and readied its culmintiou when the time came to tear out the old structure In order to finish the lower story of tho new briok building. Tho Courier then madn ltd exit (o tlio upper story, hoisting the heavy machinery and tlio million or less articles neo saury to the conduct of a printing ollloo through au nporturo in tho floor, into tho inoouiplotod nppur story, whero tho machinery appliances and articles of all descriptions, type, paper stock, Iihoto supplies, wero piled together in glorious confusion. To bring order out of this chaos and at the same time keep np with thu rush in job work, besides getting out six-page Issues of the Courier, has been a task winch, has kept tho ninnauenieut ami employes strictly on the move. The big press remained down stairs and for each Impression for tho Courier, forms and paper have to be lowered from the upper Hour unci hoisted gula after printing. Under the present conditions, the nie of the water motor is impossible and the press has to be operated by baud and by tlio sweat of the brow. The Courier ofllco itself is hidden away in a rear room of nn upper floor mid the only way thereto from the street ia through a private olllce, yet the business lias suffered no diminution. New subscriptions aro received every day and the Job printing department is coiucllcd to himtlu to keep from being covered up with work. Though at present working under disadvant ages, it will not be long until the Courier will have convenient and commodious quarters ut itH old loca tion, but in a brand new brick build ing. Wo will then lie In a position to give our pat i mis n still better service in nil departments of the printing line mid to uialeo the Courier moro emphatically and undeniably the best paper in llrnnts l'tiss or in Boutheru Orcguu.

The society was recently visited by lilcknell Young, a mem ber of the lecture, board of Boston, who delivered an address. Wo have receivo a report of tho lecture as fol lows: A good-si."d uiulience assembled in Greenback Hall, Gieeiilmck, Ore., Tuesday oveiiiu,:, Dicemhir l::th, to listen to a lecture on ( I ristinn Science by liickuell Young, C. S. ii. of Chicago. Tho speaker wu.i introduced by Mrs. Clara Willson Thompson, First Header of tho tocicly, who said in part : 'Tho world to,l..y is burdened with sickness and sorrow, and in every heart there is a desite for some thing higher, hottir than earth can give. In iinswer to this desiro or prayer, Christian Science has been given us, which is tho Com'orter spoken of in tha Scriptures that may abide with us forever. It is our hap py privilego this evening to have again one in our midst who comes wifh authority mid experience to tell us of Christian Science nnd of its revered luider, the Hev. Mary flakcr U. I'Mdv." Mr. Young being Introduced, spoke earnestly ami effectively in behalf of Christian Science. The following ex tracts from his lecture are given: '('In isl ian Scii nee may be defined as the n il nee of all that relates to God. mid is seienie not inly in rela tion to healing, but as corrective in relation to all i.i oKcms of existence. 'Christian Science does not pro claim a new God in r a new law, bnt onus declaring tie same God, and the same law t hut Ji mis declared. "The i tcps of salvation in Christian Science are not unusual. As in oilier It nominal ions tiny involve the ad mission or conviction c;f sin, sorrow lor wrong dt ing or lepenlance, nnd reformation leauif. stod in a corrected lif'. Salvation in Christian Science, however, includes exemption from sickness, want ami woe, as well as from sin. 'It Is erroneous to suppose that Christian Scit nt ists ih nv the reality of things. They atliini the eternal Xistcnre of all things, and that thev exist ill the divine mind in their per fect individuality and proper order. They deny the materiality of tilings, including all the clisroichuit things manifest. 'Christian Heieut;s!s ate In no wise arrayed against those v. bo believe in materia luedica. Oh istian Scientists lo uot advertise nor sanction quack ery, ninl they believe in o evii-i: tin regulations ef health bo.nds in rela tion to contagious and c tlor dm uses. 'That Christian Science lnvi a placo in the world's thought t. inv. Is due Ulire'.y to Mrs. IM ly.

Ashland had projected a sewer sys tem that would have cost nearly $o0, 000 with the expeotations of giviug bet ter sanitary conditions to that city. But an injunction suit has brought the work to a atop and now the city will have to pas a new ordinance am! login all over again, and this time fill the requirements of the law if they expect to be able to make projx rty owners pay their assessments. Of the cause of Ihe auit and of Judge Hauna's rulings, the Ashland Record has die following: The plans of the last six mouths for an extensive sewer ay-teru that would meet the present needs of the entire city of Ashland were knocked into a cocked hat by a decision handed down in the circuit court by Judge Hanna Monday morn ing in the ease of C. A. Kliason vs. the City of Ashland. The city lost on itll four points rairod. The grounds upon which Judge Hanna found the ordiiianoe void, were : First, That the eeosoll had failed to give due notice aad therefore had no jurisdiction. Second, That in the making of the assi Mment the - ordinance plainly hnwi thai oo aliicretisn or discrimi nation ai to the amount of benefits was used. Third, That the tea per cent penalty was not authorized by the charter or tntu to. Fourth. That the descriptions aro too inilenflte for tho purpose of levy ing an assessment. Tho mayor and majority of the nitv council have based their plaDS entirely upon tha soundness of tho ordinance drawn by their city attor ney and ropentedly refused to recede from their position, tho opinion of rival lawyers being considered not worth while as against that of the city's legal advisors. The upsetting of tho ordinance levying some $J3,000 spe cial sewer benefits taxes on prop erty joining the proposed sewer under the llancroft net privileges prnctvally means the collapse of tho present ar rauj," ments and ai the city election take., place noxt week the new ad ministration will have the completion of the sower system to work ont. It will also meet with opposition any plan that contemplates sewering the entire town by a special benefit, tax will. Tho oity must refund which has been paid in count of the assessment Just been doclared illegal. Some of this amount is now represented in cash on baud and souio of it is repre seiifed iii :000 worth of sewer pipe which the city has ou hand. Thu diptheria epldemio nud scare, so far os tho people) of Grants Pass is ennci rnod is practically over, for but four families are now under quarantine. Tho quarantine is being rigorously enforced and no new cases having appeared in town it is thought by tho authorities that tho disensn is at nn end. Exaggerated re pons were spread at a distance and tlmro has been but few persons coming to Grants Pass of lain teitv. i.A --- ...... ,. ..I, , oiine- quenee that trade has fallen off very .,, musing a serions liuancial loss to the city. Thohias Perry, who has a fine farm on the Williams Creek road, five miles from Grants Pasi was in this city lata Saturday. Mr. Perry has the honor of being one of the first subscribers to the Courier, he giving in his name before tho first copy of the paper had been run off. He is one of the snccessfol farmers of Jose phine coonty and is a strong advo cate of good roads. As an instance of the condition of the roads in Ins locality, Mr. Perry tells that recently a teamster was driving along with a heavy load of wocd when the wheels dropping into the chuckholes, jerked the tongue of the wagon to ono side so violently as to throw one of the horses off its feet and onto its back in a deep mudhole and in such a shape that it could not regain Its foct. The team ster was unable to extricate his horse and Mr. .Ferry and some of his neigh bors wont to the man s assistance and they had considerable difficulty in gottiug the horse loose from the har ness and out of the depths of the rund hole. To prevent tho recurrence of such accidents and to make the read passable for this winter, r. Perry and eevoral of his neighbors havo donated considerable labor and have hauled gravel and filled the worst of the mudholes. Mr. Perry does not favor this patching of tho roads and fivors the county undertaking the work of constructing highways by modern methods of road construction, so that when a road is built it will be passable at all seasons of the year and uot bo a constant source of expense for repairs and then not be f.o n team can pull a load over It.
