"Where are your kids - a society man

Will C. King, the temperance lecturer,
visited Dallas last week to deliver lecture,
but the citizens of that burg failed to turn
out. The Itemizer very appropriately sug-
gests the need of some wholesome advise
on that question.
The citizens of Roseburg are jubilent over
the Encouraging reports and prospects of
the Oregon Southern Railway and Trans
portation Company. A round house, ma
chine shops and a hotel of huge proportions
are among the things of the near future.

The Northern Pacific railroad will put up
at auction the first through (all rally ticket
from Portland to st. Paul. 1t will be got
ten up in the highest style of the lithograph-
er's art, and the purchaser will be permitted
to retain it unpunched. Butte has bid
$1,000 for the first ticket from that point,
and Helena Sl050. The Oregonian thinks
Portland ought to discount both towns COM

The Coquihe fishermen have inaugurated
raid on the sea lions that infest the waters
at the mouth of the river and DESTROY so
many salmon during the fishing season.
A sufficient fund has been raised by sub =
scription to employ two men during June
and July in shooting and killing the lions at
the rocks south of the mouth of the river.
The males will first receive attention, then
the females and finally the young ones. The
theory is that the females will remain with
their young no matter how many of the
males may be killed, and that the young
ones will remain after their mothers have
been slain. The little ones are not at all
suspicious or hard to approach; in fact, they
rather court ones acquaintance, and it seems
downright cruel to kill the unsuspecting
innocense; but if left alone they soon grow
into formidable devourers of fish at the time
men most want them, and for this reason
there is no affection between the fishermen
and the lions, large or small. Hilgren and
Patterson are expected to so thin the lions
out at the mouth of the Coquille as to
greatly improve the run OF salmon in that
stream this year.
