Oregon, at eoond-cla mall matter.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1808.
The lata Marshal Field made his
money telling dry gooda in Chicago.
Bnt bli wife evidently (eels aoinewhat
shamed of this fact, as she bas taken
her two sons and gone to Knrope to
lire, where the boys are to be edu
cated, and titles purchased for them,
if possible. '
A writer ia a onrrent n amber of
Appltton'i Magailne gives the press
credit for checking the recent money
panio, citing inoidenta to show, bow
newspaper! quieted the affairs of the
pablle by publishing the troth where
la many cases rumors would hate In
creased the panio.
We are now shipping wheat direot
from Oolf ports to Odessa, Rnsala,
althooiih wheat is usually shipped
from this Ruslan port for sale in
other countrls of Europe. The ship
ment from the United States is said to
be due to the fact that the Rnailan
Ooverninent has advanced rairload
ratea.
qaaliflcatiou heretofore existing
which barred soma soldiers' widows
from a ' pension altogether, has been
eliminated.
There should be no" faction" in any
city. The property of one individual
and every improvement made enhance
the vain a of all property in the cor.
poratlon. Our city Is simply one big
family. When there Is dlioord there
is little progress. When there is a
united pull for everything, its accom
plishment ia made easy. Envy,
jealonay and hatred are things to be
despised. Envy Is a canker that
gnaws at the heart and make folks
our, disgrnntled and unhappy ; jeal
ousy warp the intellect and makes ns
unfair la pasiing judgment. Hatred
doean't pay, even from sordid stand
point. Ex.
The good ladies of the Grants Pass
Wumen's Christian Temperance Union
have sgsia taken np the matter of
providing the SO people of this city
and county with a much-desired, np-
to-date drinking foantain. They had
already secursd something like $125
toward this mott worthy project and
now tbey will put forth every effort
to lecure the remainder of the f'-JOO,
which it is estimated that the foon
tain will coat.
In fact, feeling confident that the
people of tbi city and county would
co-operate in the good undertaking
they have already placed the order
for the fountain 'with the New York
faotory and expect it along in the
early ipring.
They also hope to provide a drink
icg troogb for the horses, a move that
will oertalnlr be appreciated by the
dumb animal of this vlciaity.
Another thing which tbey have
In mind and also one mot excellent
i to provide a "Rest Cottage" were
the farmers' wives whe come to the
county seat to do ahoppiag can find a
comfortable place in which to rent
and enjoy themselves. Howsver, this
new venture will not be undertakes
nntil the fountain bas been entirely
arranged for.
Ibis is most practical werk and
everybody should have a baud in it
and that is why ths ladlas are solicit,
log flnanoiai aisistanoe from the resi
dents of the city
Jodge Galloway baa decided that
the ooustitutloo meant what it said
wheu it fixed the salaries of state of
ficers and declared thut they shall re
wive no fees or perquisites whatuver.
Put that is just a omnuiou suuso view.
Judge Galloway did not delve to the
depths or explore the height of lugs!
technicality. The Brat thing we
know this notion of oomtrulng a con
stitution to mean what it sa;a will
heroine common. Ex.
rr-i n . . . ...
iim rreaiaeni nas just signed a
proclamation creating additions
amounting to nsarly BOO. 000 acre tn
tb Modoo National Fared in north-
eastern California. With the excep
tion of a small area in the northern
part of Laisen County, all the land
pat within the forest by this procla
mation are situated In Modoo County.
The exaot area of the additions Is
670,000 aeres, whioh bring the total
area of the foreat np to 859.018 acre.
The land proclaimed a pari of the
Modoo Forest will be not under ad-
inlstration at once, with Supervisor
O. E. Raohford, whose headqoaretra
ia at Alturas, California, in charge.
The additlous to tl e foreat have a
stand of valuable yellow pine, which
will amount to several million feet
and will average' 19,000 feet to the
aor. There Is a little or no agricul
tural laud In the addition.
