On Thursday evening Of last week, Our vii
lage had two Christmas trees: one at the
academy and one at the Christian Church
Both were anisticaly decorated and well laden
with presents, useful and ornamental They
were success in every sense of the word
Ii is comfort, TO see Oregon keeping up
her reputation as dispenser Of supcrlous
moisture, although it sets one to specializing
upon the mysterious providence that permits
the California farmer TO long in vain for re-
freshing showers, al the very time when the
webfoot granger vents his anathe upon
the unnecessary mud and water. the So
cialist is correct in his theory Of the eternal fit
ness Of things! there should be re redistribution
of the blessings Of providence. While on this
line also wonder why it is that there is not
greater rush of immigration TO Douglas county
In the northern part Of the County, there is
abundant room for many more thrifty farmers
and stock raiscrs. Last fall went over into
the Smith River country, about ten mile north
Of Drain, and saw hundreds Of acres OF IN
occupied land, as fertile as the sun shines upon
Some Of it was river bottom, containing in the
surface soil, the wealth Of centuries of rank
vegetation. The two settlers living there at
the time, Williams and Woodring had each
planted gardens which al the time of my visit
were bearing splendid harxests in return for
very Slight labor. All of this land is easy Of
access, splendid wagon road to Drain could
be built with small outlay Of labor only, and
the results OF industry would make the laggard
green with envy. / predict that before two
years have passed away there will be a store,
school house, post office and many other evi-
dences Of thrift in this nucleus Of a settlement.
Again all the way from Drain to Gardiner
there are valleys and small streams tributary
to The Umpqua whose rich acreage is inn
patiently awaiting the advent Of intelligent,
thrifty pioneers, who seeing the possibilities Of
the soil and the certainty of the Umpqua being
at no distant day a highway Of commerce to
the sea.
There i, room for hundreds Of happy homes
in Northern Douglas. Let them come!
Mrs. BlacI<wood has leased her hotel to Mr.
Moore, formerly OF the stage company, and
with his charming wife he has taken possession
and IS now catering to the public wants in his
line 10 the satisfaction Of all. We join their
many friends in wishing them abundant pros
peri,y in their new work.
l went into Drain & Co.'S. store to-day
and was surprised. They SO right on selling
goods at ruinously low prices, just as if Christ
mas were not a thing Of the past. II they
don't know that it is, somebody ought to go
and tell them.
The vacation Of the Normal school ends
this week and next Monday morning hundred
more students will assemble in their ac-
customed places refreshed with their rest and
recreation and ready to work with renewed
yisor. The school is. doing grand work and
richly deserves its prosperity.
We hear OF candidates for county Offices
looming up in various dircctlons but the cold
wane has not yet struck our precinct.

We witnessed very comical scene on
Christmas day, which was good for originality
if nothing else One Of Our estimable citizens
having determined upon having chicken for
dinner, started out to obtain one on short no
tice but the chicken thinking self-preservation
the first law Of nature, determined thatit was
not the one to be eaten on such short notice
and therefore planted itself in the middle Of a
large mud hole, from whence the owner was
unable TO dlslodge it. When We took Our
last look at the scene, the gentleman was
gazing with a most disappointed look at the
chicken who returned it, with look as tn
umphant as if he had just been elected mar
shall of Roscburg.

THE OAEEAND FoRGERY.-Onc day last
week the usual quiet little town of Oakland
was visited by couple of sleek, well-dresscd
gentlemen in quest Of large farm. After
looking around for some time they came to
the conclusion that Mr.. Dodge's farm would
suit them, and being short Of ready cash they
said they would so TO Portland and have some
checks cashed, in the, meantime Mr.. Dodge
advanced them $Ioo on 4 certificate Of depos-
ii with Wells Fargo & Co. in Yoncolla for
$500, and some other gentleman, whose name
We have not learned, advanced $500 more.
Some time during the night mine host Thomas
atlirms, the two sleek, wcll-trcssed gentlemen
, took their departure Tor parts unknown and in
their haste forgot TO settle their board bill.
This led 10 IN investigation which resulted in
the disclosure that the certificate was for
gerry. At last accounts they were still non est.
The above parties were caught on the freight
train bound south al Riddles, and were taken
to Oakland where they waived examination,
and were bound over in $500 each. SO, 50
OF the money was recovered. They give their
names as John Lyons and T, Riley.
