They'rode all the way from Port
Uod to Grand Pass, without soy bitch,
but here the brateman "caught on"
and the bold youngster (ot lifted off
the train. Upon alighting from the
traio they went to the baggage car,
where tbey induced the baggageman
to gire op their grip, on which their
pictures bad been pasted.
Tbeie boys are the real "tough" ar
ticle aad are the kind that make sac
oesefol holdups and will eveutually
land in the "pen", for they care noth
ing for the lawyer the rightf of others.
Indeed they glory in their "crooked
ness" and seem to think that the laws
of the land'are made to break,

FRIDAY. MARCH 8, 1808
March certainly "Came In like a
lloa," aathe old saying goes, and if
the old Idea holds good, we may ex
pect an early spriag.
The East Btroodsbnrg-(P. ) Semi
weekly News, pubilsehd for over 80
years, has suspended poblleatlon.
The fall ore of Its aabsoribers to pay
np and the new postal rallng rtdatlve
to paid up snbeorlbtlous are Jglveu as
the teasons for the suspension of the
PPr.
The New Castle (lud.) Courier,
commenting; on a reciosst to omit a
news item, takes the position that
every Uuis a newspaper "grants this
favor it breaks faith with its sub
scribers, lessens -the Tuloe of lie ad
vertising spare, rsdaoes the t aloe' of
its equipment and Impairs Its organi
sation. Iu short, omitting news
items is faillag to do that which
everyone experts of a newspaper
print the news. " This Is not putting
H too stronnly, and yet It is aluiott
iintH'snitiln at times to refuse such re
quests. Several (loorler readers who are
stauueh friends of the Oregon State

We are expecting great things from
the newly organised ''Stopers of the
World," which was perfected in this
city, last week. If we are rightly
informed, suuli a body of men can ac
complish a great amount of real good
for this mining oommanity. It pro
poses to do away with the " Wildcat
ting, " which alone is most commen
dable and it will proceed to promote
legitimate mining promoting. We
happen to know of luatanoes where
muoh barn has been done the local
miners by bogus affairs that have
been foisted upon an unsuspecting
public We have received letters
from eastern victims of such fake
propositions, asking a boot such enter
prises., which baa been set forth in
most glowing terms. 80 we say, the
"Stopers" can do thia region much
genoine good along thia line.
Savage Bros., in writing The Tim
beraian, have this information to
impart. "The assount of sugar pine
snd white pine lomber cut by us dnr-
ig the year 190? is as follows. 143,000
feet sugar pine, 235,000 feet white
pine, 125.0uO feet fir, making 603,000
feet, besides 6000 feet of alder, oak
and cedar. Our mill out 200,000 feet
of sugar and white pine for the
Grants Pass Box Company. We
operate a planer aad matcher and
expect to use the most of our cut in
filling contractors' orders, etc. Busi
ness dorig past summer was very good
with us. Our mall crew and ma
chines have been kept busy and at
good prloea."
