mountainous region of country, yet the

only venty feet to the mile. The

low covered with the best Of cedar and
pine timber, underlaid with the best of
building stone and Goa, ,and the streams
have abundant trout-game such as

EDITOR INDEPENDENT As a mem
Der of the Roseburg Fire Department,
read with interest the annual report Of
the Chief Engineer. He says that he
has tried to remedy the defects in our
water system but is discouraged.
Uncle Johnny Glldersleeve is true
old fireman, and scrupulously conscien
tious. Upon examination l do not
wonder that he is discouraged. It is
enough to make saint swear. The
reservoir is a failure, and not half SO
tight as the average saloon hummer.
The food-gate is useless; the stop-cock
is only Of value when there Is no water
in the pipes, and the hydrants are
neither useful nor ornamental In
short, the whole thing is stupendous
nuisance There is no member of the
Hose Company that in case of fire but
looks with alarm upon the situation.
The idea of laying the pipes from the
top down, shows that the party who
had charge Of the work knew nothing
of the laws Of gravitation, or intended
to blk the city. I observe daily quite
stream of water flowing in front of
the INDEPENDENT Office, and learn that
it all comes from the reservoir, which
will soon be entirely emptied. We
asked an officer of The hose what was
designed to be done with the reservoir,
and was informed that it was contem-
plated to convert the same into a
skating rink OF racing track IN which
to put Badly against the world It is
the opinion of those qualified to know,
that it is folly for the city to spend any
more money in the way of patchwork
repairs. II would be wise to sell the
pipes and hydrants as scrap iron, if any
person could be found to purchase rot
ten stuff. No good can be accom-
plished short of beginning all eyel
again. No town in the world has
spent 80 much money for a good pur-
pose and sblainesl SO little benefit.

Scenery of the Pacific Northwest.

The desire to possess artistic pictures
of the scenery of the Pacific Northwest
is feeling shared in common by the
residents of this region, and the thou
sands Of tourists who annually travel
great distances to behold it. To make
a satisfactory collection of photographs
is almost impossible, and is only ac-
complished at an expense far greater
than the majority of people are willing
or able to undergo. To meet this
urgent want, a "Souv enir Album of
the Pacific Northwest" has been issued,
containing thirty-fve art photographs
Of the most prominent and representa-
tive scenes of Oregon, Washington,
California, Idaho and Montana. Among
them are excellent pictures of Umpqua
Mountains, Crater Lake, Mount Hood,
Multnomah Falls, Y Yellowstone Park.
etc. The album is neatly bound In
cloth, embossed with gold and makes
neat ornament for the center table.
The price, seyenty-fve cents, only rep
resents the cost of three ordinary pho
tographs, and brings this collection of
thirty-fve beautiful scenes within the
reach Of all. Sent postage paid upon
the receipt OF IS cents. L. Samuel

ALL THE RAGE.-To captivate the popu
lsr taste and surpass all previous efforts to
please the palate, requires no small amount
of knowledge and no little skill, and when
we remember that the very agreeable liquid
fruit remedy. Syrup of Figs, is as beneficial
to the system as it is acceptable to the stom-
ach, we readily understand why it IS the
universal favorite as a cure for habitual con-
stipation and other ills arising from weak
ness, or inactive condition of the bowels,
kidneys, liver and stomach. Sample bottles

SCHOOL MATTEas.-In conversation
with School Director Friedlander, we
learn that the co nlnon school fund is
entirely inadequate to carry on any
thing like respectable school at this
place. There is no district of the same
size in Oregon better able TO maintain
good school than Roseburg, and yet
there is none so poor but can excel her.
This is not as it should be. Our citi-
zens should eyince more pride than
heretofore indicated. A meeting is
contemplated to take into consideration
this important matter. We hope the
people will turn out and aid in cause
that will bless them now and hereafter.

A Simple Tribute.

The death of Captain John Sidney,
at Boston, the other day, recalls to the
Index his early career During the
hot times just prior to the war, young
Silney was elected to Congress. He
was then considered one Of the most
eloquent Of the younger members of
the New England bar, and shortly
after taking his scat bad occasion to
cross swords with the late Ben Hill
He commenced his speech in nervous,
bsshful manner, but gradually warm
ing up and gaining confidence he closed
with the following simple yet fervia
tribute to the constitution
s'The constitution to me seems like
q grand and noble tree, under the shade
of whose broad limbs we are alike pro-
tected from the storms of anarchy and
from the hot and scerching rays of the
sun of tyranny" Then walking straight
towards Hill and throwing all the
powers of rich voice into his speech,
he quoted with tender pathos the poets
lines
"Woodman, spare that tree,
Touch not single bough
In youth it sheltered me.
And I'll protect it now."
The effect was electrical, and long
and loud applause and congratulations
marked the occasion as one to be long
remembered. Captain Sidney received
a wound in the head which almost par
alyzed his splendid mental faculties,
and he died the other day, prema-
turely old man, having given his life
to his country.
