Senator Huston's bill in the Oregon

excuse for killing an opponent whom
they have aggravated beyound human

this issue he dives some interesting in
formation about these mines.
The latest dispatches are to the effect
that there is no hope of the time being
, extended for payment on forfeited rail
road lands. Persons actually residing
on forfeited lands have until Sept. 20,
1803, to purchafle. Persons not residing
on the forfeited lands, that they have
under improvement, that is, fenced to
the extent of 820 acres, have only to the
8d of next month to acquire title by pur
chase. A qiyU case was heard before Squire
Clark it Condon this week. Chas. Fix

It is admitted that Oregon has the
poorest, most absurd, most unjust as
sessment system In existence. We hope
that our present legislature will com
pletely knock It out, says the Wallowa
Chieftain, and enact a new law that will
cause all property to be assessed at its
true cash value to pay for the protec
tion its owner enjoys. We also hope
that the law will be so plain that such a
senseless body as a "board of equaliza
tion will be unnecessary, and that there
will be no loop-hole made for the wealthy
to escape taxation by "exemption for
indebtedness."
Senator Steiwer's bill for the protec
tion of stock raisers provides that the
branded , hklo must be shown with
slaughtered animals offered for sale to
butchers, and the butcher must keep a
record of ' the brands, not only of such
purchases, but also of the animals by
him slaughtered. There are penalties of
imprisonment provided for trading un
bonded cattle, killing, animals of un
known ownership, and mutilating artifi
cial brands. The senator also has a bill
prescribing a system of recording brands
with county clerks. We believe a better
way still would be to have the bill so
mended as to require the advertising of
all brands within the county in the offi
cial paper of the county.
A peculiar political incipient has just
been reported from Illinois. It was one
of the funniest complications that the
postofflce department has ever expe
rienced. The town had a German dem
ocrat as postmaster, under Mr. Cleve
land. ' When Harrison was elected he
was succeeded by a republican post
master, who died, and the office was
then turned over to the widow. When
Cleveland was elected last fall the Ger
man democrat thought that he also had
been re-elected postmaster. He appear
ed at the postofflce with a wagon and
persuaded the postmistress to allow him
to remove the effects of the office to his
place. He has since been running affairs
fully convinced that Cleveland's re-election
restored him as postmaster. . Re-
presentajtive'Hopkins reported the fact to
the postofflce department and, an in
spector was detailed to restore the post
mistress to her rights.

Our day school under the manage

Our people were pleased to see their old
neighbors and friends, Mesdames Lucas
and Nlcklin, come up last week to assist
with the meetings and pay a long-promised
visit to their many friends here.
We are informed that Messrs. L. W.

The revival meetings began here Sun
day with a very large attendance, and
every evening since, the house has been
crowded. Quite a number are at the al

when they do show up, Rev. Rawlins
will get to the zenith of his spiritualistic
power, and we may look for scores of
conversions. Cowboy.
Death of Cora Reis.
Olex, Jan. 16, 1893.
The numerous friends of Miss Cora
Antonette Reis were saddened to hear of
her death, Monday morning, January 0,
1803, although the event was not wholly
unexpected. About a year ago she took
a severe cold, which resulted in that
dread disease consumption, from which
time her decline was sure and speedy.
Everything possible was done for her by
loving friends. Her father and two
brothers were with her the last two days
of her life, Sunday morning before she
died she called her brothers to her bed
side and requested them to repent the
Lord's Prayer aloud with her, which
they did.. She seemed wholly to have a
child's trustful faith in our Heavenly
Father, and was perfectly reconciled to
die. A large number of friends were at
her bedside when she waf breathing
her last. She anked them to pray for
her, and then bid them all goodbye.
Her funeral took place from the resi
dence of Mr. B. T. Snell, on Tuesday,
Jan. 10th. The remains were taken to
the Olex school house, where services
were conducted by Rev. Dcunison of Ar
lington, after which the body was laid
to rest in the Olex cemetery, '
Miss Reis was born at North Washing
ton, Iowa, June 17, 1870. Her mother
died when Bhe whs nine years old. One
year after she mourned the loss of a baby
sister. Since her mother's death, Cora
had been sole housekeeper for her fa
ther, : ;

A Newspaper Man Should Get
The Plum.
Mr. J. H, Cradlebangh, editor of the
Hood River Glacier, aod a staunch friend
to the fraternity, says:
After mature deliberation we have rais
ed our lightning rod and patiently await
the storm after the 4th of March, in hopes
the lightning may strike it in the shape
of the appointment of register of The
Dalles land office. We respectfully sug
gest in our own favor that since the 8th
day of November last we have waxed fat,
gaining 22 pounds in that time, on diet
such as the country editor usually tackles,
which is proof positive that the political
pudding is the cause of it. We have
grown too large indeed to longer remain
a private Individual, and must either
have aa office or have the Oregon legisla
ture incorporate us. We feel that we are
competent to fill the office and strong
enough to draw the salary, thus reflect
ing credit on the party and deflecting
cash to ourself supplying a great need
in either case. Besides this it would be
a fitting recognition of the newspaper
fraternity the people who put others in
office and get nothing themselves; the
men who "lead the columns" in political
battle, who marshal and drill the forces
In time of peace; the men who get all the
scars, no cash and a very limited credit.
The truth is, the newspaper man is, so to
speak, the war house in time of political
battle, the beast of burden between
fights, tvrned out to pick a precarious
living on the range, fenced out of the
public pasture, and only groomed when
it Is time for him to stand np and be
shot at. These are our claims to recog
nition, and if we are to be turned down,
we ask in all justice to an overworked
and underpaid class of party workers
that some other newspaper man be given
the place. t m , '
The Bohemian Mines.
Condon, Jan. 16th.
Ed. Glome : -It may interest your read
ers to leant something about these gold i
mines, which promise to rival the great:
California mines of '49.
The Bohemian mines, several claims
of which I own, are situated on the di
vide between the headwaters of the
Umpqua aad the Willamette, in both
Lane and Douglas counties, 40 miles
southeast of Cottage Grove. Tbey were
first discovered about 25 years ago, and
were prospected with aS-stamp mill,
but the result was not satisfactory and
they were temporarily abondoned. But
within the last couple of years, work on
them has been renewed and some rich
discoveries made, the assay of some of
the ore reaching several thousand dol
lars to the ton.
Two quartz mills are running there
now at full blast, and several inore'wjll
be put in as soon as spring opens. In
one week a 5-mill stamp there recently
cleaned up $3000.
While at Cottage Grove two weeks
ago I learned that about 60 men are at
work in the mines this winter, getting
out ore ready for crushing in the spring.
There are also some valuable placer dig
gings, known as "Steam Boat," a tribu
tary of the North Umpqua, where a
number of my old neighbors are at work
and making fair wages. These are situ
ated about 8 miles southwest of the Bo
hemian mines.
My opinion is that the Bohemian
mines contain some as rich ore as can be
found anywhere. Nearly every man in
Cottage Grove has a showcase full of
samples of rich ore, and I tell you it
produces a pleasing sight to "Old Cul's"
eagle optics. It is my intention to go
back in the spring and develop my mines
and locate others.
Cottage Grove is headquarters for these
mines and bids fair to be a great city in
the near future. In conclusion I wish to
state emphatically that "Old Cul is
strictly in it." T. C. Keizlb.
A Great Offer.
From now until Feb. 5th, next month,
we are prepared to send the weekly San
Francisco Examiner and the Condon
Globe one year for the trifling sum of
$2.25. The regular price of both pa
pers is f 3. The Examiner is the leading
paper of the United states, aud the
Globe comes next on the list
For Sale Cheap.

How The Grange Pays.
A great many persons who do not be
long to the Grange are at a loss to know
In what way it Is beneficial. The grange
has developed new life among our farm
ers, and has set them to reading and
thinking for themselves. The Grange
has been a school for mutual Instruction.
The frequent meeting together to com
pare notes has been found to be wonder
fully beneficial. Many a farmer has
learned in the Grange how to Lest culti
vate his land so as to enable him to ob
tain the largest product at the least ex
pense. He has learned In the Grange
and by reading his Grange paper, which,
perhaps, formerly he did not take, the
best mode of rearing stock and improv
ing their breed. He has learned from
the Grange debates the distinction be
tween true and false economy, and to
practice the former and avoid the latter.
The Grange . instructions have directly
benefitted the farmers of the country to
the value of many hundreds of thous
ands of dollars in developing the hidden
resources of their lands, in systematizing
farm work and in putting more thought
and brains into the crops. ,
The benefits derived from the Grange,
however, are not confined altogether to
dollars and cents. That view alone of
its benefits would be very narrow and
sordid. The Grange has developed a
new lffe among the farmers all over the
land. Its benefits in that direction have
been seen and recognized in at least 26
different states in which it is now flour
ishing. The social features of this or
ganization have wrought wonders in
thousands of our farm homes all over
the country. More books, music and
more papers are now found in our farm,
bouses, and the boys and girls, who have
heretofore found farm life irksome, are
not leaving the old homestead, as they
formerly did, to seek the more dangerous
attractions of city life. "Great, indeed,"
as some one has said, "are the changes
which the Grange has introduced in the
way of improved social intercourse and
intellectual eflbrtamong farmers." This
change has astonished the nation,
and is fast bringing to the front men of
strong minds and great intellect, and
who are, in many ways, takeing the lead
in social, political and economic progress.
The day has passed, never to re turn,
when farmers where not expected to
think for themselves. They are now
doing a large amount of thinking, and,
what is better still, giving others who
needed such prodding, occasion to do
much thinking in a direction different
from their heretofore lines of thought
"The industrial and producing elements
of the city and town and country are join
ing hands in the great revival of human
rights, and in the onward march of ma
terial, social and political progress,"
These are some of the ways in which the
Grange is made so pay.
