Hon. ". Il. Keddy's Reply.

Corvallis, Dec. 20, 1885,
j. r. N. Bell: My dear sir-I have
received a copy of your Journal
of Dec. 25, wherein | am Scaled"
upon to state what i know in re-
Iation to the mutilation of my
House bill No. 81. When the en-
rolled bill came from the committee
il was promptly signed by myself and
at once sent to The senate along with
some other bills for the signature of
the President. Tn due time the bills
were returned to the House with
message announcing their signature.
These bills (my own included) were
directly passed to the chief clerk for
transmission to the Governor. I did
not examine No. 81 upon its rsturn
from the Senate, but am positively
certain that it was all right when |
signed it. Your information from "an
officer of the Senate" to the effect that
81 was the last to have The bill" and
that "when demand was made for it
some time elapsed before the bill could
be found, and when it did appear it
was mutilated, etc., " is an entire fabri
cation, without any foundation in fact.
| was not the last to have the bill; ]
did not delay it, and no demand what
ever was made upon me for it; the pen
scratch was not discovered until the
morning after adjournment, and then
by the Governors Private Secretary.
These are the facts. The insinuation
that I .nutilated the bill or caused it to
be did, or had any, knowledge of it
whatever, is the undegenerate offspring
of malice and wickedness,-th subter
fuge OF some contemplate scoundrel
who seeks to divert suspicion from
himself.
On the morning OF adjournment,
shortly after discovery of the scratch,
Coy. Moody informed me that he
would approve the bill, and l heartily
join you in commencing him for it.
Very Respectfully,
w. P. KEADY.

R0SEBURG NOT OREGON CITE

1t is announced that immediately
after the holidays Mr.. Hermann will
introduce bills for among others the
following purposes: One appropriating
$4,000 for public building at Orc
gon city to be used for Land Office,
Signal service and Post office; also one
appropriatiug similar amount for like
purpose i'll Roseburg. These bills are
in response to memomorial Of the |
Oregon Legislature passed last winter
and Mr.. Hermann is doing quite right
in needing request from so high a
source. Nevertheless we regard it
unfortunate as well as unjust that the
claims of Roseburg for this legislation
should be embarrassed by association
with those of any other place. In
other words We prefer that Roseburg
should stand upon her own merits.
The original memorial was drafted by
Hon. l.. F. Lane of this place and
represented that the Federal offices
located at Roseburg, namely, the Land
office, the Signal service and Post office
occupied private buildings at consider
able rental expense and that the erec-
tion of suitable five story building
for government uses would be in the
direction of economy and retrenchment
etc. and prayed that Congress appro-
pirate $4,000 for the purchase of
site and erection Of such building.
This was forwarded by Mr.. Isidore
Caro- TO Senator Shupe who at once
introduced it and urged its adoption
Upon motion of Senator Myers the
name of Oregon city was inserted and
as thus amended the memorial passed
both bodies February 10, 1885. This
we insist was unjust to Roseburg 1t
should be remembered that there is no
Signal station at Oregon city and it is
not likely that there ever will be one
established. Portland and Roseburg
are quite sufficient for Western Oregon
1t is even probable that the land Office
will be removed from Oregon city
within the next four years and the
business transferred to the Dallcs and
this office. We do not object to Ore
gon city securing favorable legislation
Of any kind. We are not the least bit
jealous, on the contrary we wish that
venerable city and its good people ut
most success. However we do protest
against the claims of Roseburg upon
this subject being placed on the same
footing sick with those of Oregon city.
The merits of the two cases are not the
same

If you have friends in adversely stand
by them.
Better break thy word than do worse
in keeping it.
The end of passion is the beginning of
repentance.
Experience is the key that opens to
each soul in heaven.
To reason with the angry is like whis-
pering to the deaf.
Conscience is the rewarder of virtue
and the avenger of crime.
Fear is the shadow which always fol-
lows on the heel of wrong.
Bless God for what you have, and trus;
God for what you want.
A face that cannot smile is like bud
that blossoms and dies on the stalk.
The physically blind thank you fol
your guidance; the mentally blind usu-
ally reject it.
1t takes less time to get over ones
misfortune than to be reconciled to a
neighbor's good fortune.
If thou art wise thou knowest thine
own ignorance, and thou art ignorant il
thou knowest not thyself.
Dare to change your mind, confess your
error, and alter your conduct, when con.
vinced that you are wrong.
Nearly everybody has it in him to be
better than heis. Improvement is chiefly
the regulation of the propensities and
passions.
If mans religion is pretentious on
Sunday and obscure on weekdays, YOU
had better do business with him on a
cash basis.
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night
and smile is the twilight that hovers
gently between both, and is more be-
witching than either.
The condition of the world would be
improved if men were to think less of
the dishOnor of submitting to wrong, and
more of the dishonor of doing it.
A man without discretion may be
compared to a vessel without helm,
which, however rich in its cargo, is in
continual danger of being wrecked

THE young man of the period can see
himself as others see him in the hickory
sketch the Portland Oregonian makes of
him. More especially the young men
who are a notch above politics" who
grow old sauntering listlessly through a
life of luxuriant ease and aesthetic inac>
tivity, dropping buckets into empty
wells and drawing nothing up" can see
himself. "The strong full blooded gold
en- calf" it says, that beats forth its
disgust for politics and the distrust of
our form of Government, which he i'm
ported with his last pair of English trou-
sers, generally spends his life in athletics
and animalIsm; he becomes the selfish
muscular lout that Wilkie Collins satir-
lied in Man and Wife When he is not
killing pigeons to make holiday, he is
matching game cocks, watching bulldogs
worry each other to death, playing polo,
driving a tally -ho team, betting on boat
race, buying pools on the turf, or bulliDg
his luck at poker"

the liberty to rave and rant and froth at

the confusion created by general move

anarchic fend has rushed to the front

destruction, and caring little who or
what is destroyed. The time has come
when this foul beast must be annihilat+

fears and conscience of the American
people demand the extirpation Of the

CARE OF SHEEP.
Hints TO Sheep GrOwers-HOw TO
Treat Scab and FOOt-ROt.

Somebody has said, IN othiug succeeds
likelsuccess." So long as there are G pod
results. men work with energy and
judgment; but when trials come and
there are no profits to encourage effort,
they become careless, Indifferent and
neglectful
In sheep raising this IS as true as
in anything else. When sheep are
profitable it is easy to take care of
them. They seem to eat less. die less,
and make nicer money and in less time
than any stock on the farm. At such
times there is real joy and enthusiasm
in sheep; sbeepmen seem never tired of
attending to and talking about their
sheep; they carry wool in their pockets
to show to each other, and it is pleasant
| ly limited that they have "wOol in their
teeth" But when the depression comes,
sheepmen are mum on sheep and wool
topics. And if you will go to their
sheep barns you will find that they have
gotten careless and the sheep are doing
badly. The owner will declare to you
that he cannot see why his sheep are
looking so badly; will say he feeds them
the same rs he used to, but all to no
purpose; he can't understand what ails
them. The sheep cannot tell, and only
old sbeepmen know that they have not
l,ao nd flph hox
neglected.
Scab and foot-rot always follow de-
preston in prices of wool. AS soon as
prices begin TO come up, somebody be+
gins 20 ask how to cure these ills. While
these Two ailments are serious enough,
they are by no means the worst known
to sheep, provided the flock has been
well fed and kept in good health. They
can be cured by any one who will take
to the trltiing expense. No one ought to
buy a scabby OF foot-rot flock at prices
of sound sheep. Such iocks are not held
at such good prices, either. They are
often sacrificed on account of their dis
eased condition. Had 1 such a flock,
they should be cured and not discounted
one cen. Were L buying, though, it
would be another thing altogether, then
experience and skill would be worth
something to me; those who bought and
paid for years ago. when young in the
business. A careless man, who would
allow his flock to become thus diseased,
deserves to be loser. And the man who
proposes to give time and pains to ftl
ting ap diseased flock ought to make
some lsoney by it.
Just here. be it remarked, we need se>
we're laws on the subject in every State.
Australia has a law on scab that is a
model. Southern latitudes need such a
law more than northern, but there is
needed statute on this everywhere
Foot rot depends upon soils good deal.
Rocky and alkali soils will cure foot rot.
Yet in Vermont many flocks have foot
rot, and it is shame to their owners,
for there ought to be none there. 1t is
due to carelessness there and every
where else.-Wool journal.

Slow and Sure.

Haste in making ones plans is less valuable
than slowness and sureness in the considera-
ton, and all due speed and prOmptitude in
carving them out Hasty impressions of things
are as certain to be wrong as hasty impressions
of people; and that half knowledge that results
from superficial scamper through places Is
almost worse than no knowledge at all I'm
due haste, indeed, which must not be contound-
ed with energetic action wisely considered and
powerfully performed, is form of unwisdom
to be depreciated wherever met with, and Is
sure never to come to good ends. 1t is better
to 90 upstairs step by step with safety, if a
little slowly, than to break your shins by
mounting two at a time and tumbling over
your own feet; and it is better to come down at
a sensible and rational speed than to make one
stride, and that long one, from the tep to the
bottom, with a broken neck or bruised back rs
the result of YOUR Over-speed. IL is better to
90 quietly up the mountain than to rush along
at a railway pace and lay the foundations of 4
heart-diseaSe in consequence; and in all things
'slow and sure" goes further than Trash and
swift" and the accomplishment of the end IS
more important than the quiekness of the
means by which that accomplishment may be
brought about, but also NAV he entirely truS-
trated instead

Although the early history of switzer-
land is lost in the mists of time, and the
historian is puzzled to segregate fiction
from fact, there are episodes in its an
nuls that must be accepted as truthful.

dark days of the middle ages. In next
July will be commemorated nearLucerne

Arnold of Winkelreid, who. at the battle
of Sempach, threw himself upon the
Austrian spears to encourage his flag
ging companions. and whose bravery Sc
cured the victory. The quin-centenary

monument on the field. and the neigh
boring cantons will furnish grand his

THERE are persons who suffer because
they are thin skinned, touchy, ready to
take offense on slight provocation or
with none at all, who persist in closing
their eyes to the cause of their Infirmity
and applying the remedy. The cause is
undoubtedly egotism in its various types
and manifestations. Cure that excessive
sense of self-importance and encourage
the habit of consideration and wide tol-
erance for others and the whole trouble
is rectided. There are people of birth,
breeding, culture and large experience
who habitually magnify their position
in the social scale and expect from all
classes a certain kind of recognition
which is sure at times not to be EXTEND
ed, and which makes these people irrita-
BILE and ugly. They need to knew that
the world is pretty big. and that there
were great persons before AgamemnoD.
They need to realize that outside of the
special endowments Of their class and
order. there are other things of valHe
and of good repute, and that all people
do not understand, much less exalt the
possessions which they pride themselves
so much upon. Certain individuals feel
that they are doing very marked act of
courtesy when they hold the slightest
civil relations with humble and unedu-
Gated persons. A man of this type, when
he is thrown in contact with simple,
plain folk. wishes to be treated as a
grand seignior, and if he be disappoint-
ed, rails at the coarse and vulgar ways
of the common people. He is an ass
himself and doesn't know it. Gentleness
and charity for all are compatible with
dauntless courage and every manly at
tribute, but whoever would acquire these
traits must learn to keep down self-ar-
rogance and self-conceit and re-read the
four gospels and Shakespeare and the
legends of the most knightly men. At
ter awhile there will be less sensitive
ness as to attentions, less quickness to
take Offense and a more sensible and
happier adjustment to all the relations
and incidents of this worldly life. No
man can wisely measure himself and
suffer from merbid self esteem.

DANA. of the New York Sun. was a
wituess in the Pan Electric Telephone
investigation, and embraced his opportu-
nifty to air his opinion on the quality of
President CleveIand's Democracy. 1t is
bad, according to the journalistic sage,
and he tersely added, The Democratic
party would have been great deal bet'
ter off, in nay opinion, if he had been de-
feated." Mr.. Dana will find many of the
faithful to coincide with his views.
