PERsoNAL.-Hyman Abraham, OF
Oakland, called to see us this week and
is looking we'll. He has disposed OF
his residence in Oakland to James r.
Dodge, and Is going to move with his
family to Portland to educate his chill
dren. He has resided III this county
boy and man, for about thirty years,
and by thrift, economy and industry
has succeeded in accommodating much
of this worlds goods, and the esteem
and good opinion entertained for him
BY the people of this county and the
immediate vicinity where he resides was
manifest by their votes at the last
election. The county, which went
over $50 Republican, gave him a Dem
ocratic majority of 1919. Oakland pre-
oinct, where he has resided and done
business for many years, with vote
OF 290, gave him "a majority of 100.
Whilst we are sorry to loose him from
our county and sincerely hope he may
soon return to live aaongus. he has our
best wishes for success in his new home
Our loss is Portland's gain. We con.
gratulate our old friend, James r.
Dodge, on the fine residence he has cb-
tanned by this new purchase. He is
one Of our oldest and most industrious
and prosperous citizens, and can well
afford to enjoy the luxury of this fine
mansion III his declining years.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. On Sunday
evening, just after the fatal affray on
eur streets, the news came to town
that son of William Alexander had
been shot by a playmate. DR.. Bun
nell, who was at once summoned,
found that the hey was seriously in
jured, but that the wound was not
necessarily fatal. He was shot through
the left forearm, the bullet passing
through the body near the lung, nnd
close to the shoulder blade. The doc.
tor set the arm and the little fellow,
aged about nine, is doing well. The
report that hs lad been shot by play
mate, however, proved false. Mr. Al
sxander had returned home from one
of the tunnels, and large Colts re-
volver which he had taken with him
he layed upon shelf over the door.
In the evening the revolver, in some
way, was Jared of the shelf, and on
striking the fsor was discharged, with
the result stated. The wounded boy
is said by the neighbers about the
grove, where he resides, to be an amia-
Bile little fellow, and that he bears the
pain of his injuries with remarkable
fortitude

George w. Jones, the Granger, came
into town this week, carrying two-gal-
Ion iemijohn to the express office. The
reporter of the INDEPENDENT, who hap
pened to be present, looked wistfully
at the jug, whereupon tie Granger
aforesaid generously offered the report
er drink, which he ineontinently ac-
cspted. The local is now ready to
swear that it is good temperance bev-
erage; tastes very much like a dose OF
salts. That there are medicinal quail
ties in the water we know from expe-
rience. What the qualities of the wa
ter may prove to be, we will soon
know, as the water has been sent below
to be analyzed.

TIE OLD STAGE CoMPANY.-On last
Saturday, as the Overland stage left
Roseburg, the Silver Cornet band gave
it serenade, and it was intended that
the last stage on Sunday would be
honored in the same way, but on ac-
count of the fatal occurrence Of that
syening, it was dispensed with. On
the 14th day of August, 1859, the
Overland Stage Company's coaches first
arrived at what, at that time, was the
very small village of Roseburg. The
arrival of these ceac.es was the open
ing of new era in the history of the
southern portion Of the State Before
that time the only means of locomotion
was on horse or mule or with ox-teams,
or pack-trains for freight Now, after
twanty-three years, we bid farewell to
q geod and faithful servant, who has
hssn superseded by the railroad.
While Ne hail the change that viii in
Q short time connect us by rail with
the Eastern states, and which we hope
will bring US population and wealth,
we cannet witness the departure Of the
old line without the deep regret that
nust follow the loss Of an cid and we'll
tried friend. Through storm and sun
shine, over mountain trails, through
black mud and high water, the cid
company never failed, except when it
was impossible to do otherwise, during
all these long years, to bring US the
news from abroad and to advance the
interests of this portion of the State.
1t was the precursor of the railroad,
and now that the time has arrived to
give way to its successor, it Only re-
mains for US to express the many obli-
cations we have been under to the old
company. end to bid it farewell.

The RAILRoAD-On Monday the
terminus Of the o. IL c. railroad was
changed from Roseburg to Myrtle
Creek. Roseburg has been the terml.
nus since November, 1872, receiving
some advantages thereby, and now
many deleful predictions are made
about the future of this city. We
have no fears on this subject. Rose
burg. as the counts-seat of Douglas
county, Sith it's accumulated capital
stored therein, its wholesale stores, its
warehouses and its central position,
must command the same business il
always held, with the increase thai
will follow with the completion of the
railroad to Sacramento. Should u road
be built to the coast, as it will be at nc
distant day, this city will be the centre
of trade for Southern Oregon. Pos
sessing all the elements of vitality it
can never be dead if it does sleep.

ly constructed. The accommodations
for passengers have not yet been pro-
vided, and it is somewhat awkward for
passenger who arrived at $50 in the
dark, to gs half a mile to tlfe hotel to
be informed that there are no reds to
be disposed of. The employees of the
company do everything in their power
to make the sitaation as agreeable as
possible, and provision will no doubt
soon be made for the passenger traffic,
which is every day increasing.
