The ..miners of Southern Oregon are doing their full share toward increasing the circulating medium. More gold was taken out last win ter than usual in spite of the scar city of water, because the claims are being better developed by the perseyering labor that has been ex pended upon them. All honor to our miners their "staying" quali ties are worthy of emulation!

THE SCHOOL PICNIC. At 8:30 a. ni,, lust Saturday the pu pils and teachers of the Lebanon Pub' lie uuhool assembled at the school house, and after having fully organ teed ourselves, started to the top of the Ridgnway Butte for a picnic. At 10:00 a. in., the line of uiurcb was formed, with the band as leaders, followed by the school flag and Hie implls of roams 1, 2, S and 4, with their respec tive teachers. Marching down Mulu street and Bridge avenue to the bridge, we halted and listened to a few selec tions by the band, whloh were followed by three cheers in honor of the flag. Breuklug ranks, we then started up the Butte and reached a pleasant spot whioh we nanted "Eutaw Sprlugs," here we quenched our thirst with the the sparkling waters. The band play ed another selectluu, we viewed the beautiful valley below, with Its newly plowed ground, and beautiful green fields. After giving three cheers in honor of the baud, we left "Eutaw Springs" and from here forward, ropes were used to help some of the Utile ones up the steep uscent. We then weut through the "Wilderness" to "Btony Point," and after a short test, continued our journey, reaching the topatl&SO m. On one side of us we could see the the beautiflul snow-capped peaks of the Three Bisters, and a portion of the rjautlani river, as It made a bend around the mountain; while ou the other side there stood open to our view the cities of Lebauou, Albany, Soda vllle, Bpicer and Tullman, and the sur rounding valley. Shortly after rescu ing the top, the baud played a few selections, and soon all were eating their luncheon. After lunch was served, the following program was rendered: Bong, America.

The first stoue was laid by Mr. Hiud- niau, who was the oldest person pre sent, and tiie second, by i.oroa Tay lor, who was the youngest. Then every one present placed a stone to the monument, aud inside of It was placed a jar containing a eard from each de positor; bearing the date aud bis name (with occasionally abort historic notes,) aud a piece of music from the Lebauou baud. The first card depos ited bears the inscription "G. H.

We marched through the street where the people stood, tneu hast to the river - hriilra. There halteu to rest, and cheer the flag. men ciaiuuereu up uie nuge. The stars and stripes were at our head, the baud played in time; Sweet voices echoed tal-io-hu, the lulls threw back the chime. The Willumette valley helore us spread kept widening to our view, Until we reached the mountain crest, when our inarch to a halt, we drew, We viewed the scene with thoughts of Joy while we stood in the uuner air: And gazed on the valley that spiead beneath with helds and cities liiir: For in all the world is no lairer spot tplie Thau herein the valley of the Wjllainetto . where it greets the tiantiaiu. Our country's Hag from a lofty hr basked Its colors in the lireeze. We spread our lunthons out by groups and uuieu ueuesiu the trees. We looked on nature's enduring forms, auu trateu luvin o er SgUIU. Till awed with the changes Hint come aud go and toy, with the lives of men. We looked to the Bun, it seemed to smile, and kiss us with ilfrliirlir.i its oeaiiis seemed glad to greet us there uoon the mountain lii-ono.- Then to our Joy it seemed to say, "Tiie past I'll speak to you, Of Oregon, of its fair clime and of the way n grow, 'Long centuries this gloljo of yours bos turned belnre n,v fmw I ve seen ils surlace rie an fall mountains . and seas change plaee Yea, the very peak you are standing on, for centuries was a sea, Aud I well recall when the waters moved v ww ao uie nt wet."

Time may besiioll the work we've done hurl down the mountain's side. But while we live we work as one, and constant as the tide. We leave theVpot, its sacred ground to us who've elimhed its crest. And now we look for higher peaks and pray our work be blessed. May our future hold an upward course and ever even run, And the sweetest joys that fall on earth may they fall ou Lebanon, TtAcHia. THE QUADRANT LAND CASE. Southern Pacific Appeals From Judge Bellinger's Decision. United States District Attorney Murphy has filed notice of appeal to the United States supreme court of the case known as the quadrant land case of the United States against the Ore gon Central & Oregon California rail road companies, to recover several thousand acres of land near Forest Urove, The lands are occupied by set tiers and the secretary of the Interior held them to be government lands. The United States was required to sue the arilroads to quiet title for the set tlers, and Judge .Bellinger decided for Ihesetilersand that the lands belonged to the government, subject to the set tlers' rights. The case was appealed be the Southern Pacific company, which now owns the grant of the two other railroad companies, and Justice Fuller, "sitting in the United States circuit com t of appeals of the Ninth district, reversed the secretary -of the Interior And Judge Bellinger, aud held the lands to be the property of the railroad company. It would not be proper to allow the settlers to be dis possessed while there is still another chance, consequently the appeal to the highest tribunal in the land. The controversy is a peculiar one. The Oregon A California company was to build a rnad from Portland to Astoria and built from Portland to Forest Grove. The Oregon Central built a line from Forest Grove to a point on Yamhill river. Each com pany, by its land grant, was allowed twenty miles of laud along the line of the road as far as constructed, measur ing in any direction. Running south the Oregon & California railroad grant ends at rarest Urove and the Oregon Central railroad grant begins at Forest Grove and runs west to the Yamhill river At Forest Urove, the Southern Puciflc company, when it acquired the other roads, drew a circle and connec ted the twn land grants, aud claim is laid to ull of the kind within this cir cle, which makes two-thirds of a quadrant. The government says the railroad is not entitled to Hie land within the circle. Ex. Some one broke into the Cottage Grove juil a few days ago in an at tempt to release a prisoner, but failed as the prisoner was locked up in a cell. Tha Oregon Pacific is now haul ing about 10000 feet of logs daily to the Gates sawmill. Messrs. R & Scanlon do the logging, buying the timber of John Buttorworth. Frank Blackerby of Baudon, ten years old, is laid up from the vich ous attack of a cow he was driving to pasture. His collarbone was dislocated, and lie was otherwise bruised up. There ate up immense number of canes in the Grand Ronde valley, aim in some instances iarmeis have put boys on horses to herd the birds nffthe fields; In some localities the cranes are so numer ous that they resemble from a dis tance herds of sheep.
