on account of high water.
Levins boys are said to have los St seven OF
eight hundred head of sheep since shearing
last fall. Considerable losses are also reported
from other parts of this valley.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

Mr.. EDITOR: Hearing some talk of reviy.
ing an effort to get wagon road through the
the mountains east of Roseburg and believing
that great benefits would result from such a
road, knowing the most accessible sources
which such a road might pass in the first
place the distance from Roseburg east through
to the old Rogue river and John Days wagon
road on the east bank OF Rogue river is not
near as great as many suppose. The last
thirty miles Of this old road could easily be
opened TO the roads cast of the mountains;
a road could strike this old road little south
of due east Of R9seburg on the bank of Rogue
river; in the second place the cost of making
such road would not be over half as much as
many might think; at the present time ask
stock men with big pastures chow is your
range holding out?" most Of them would say
IN reply, ii Is not half as good as few years
ago. A road opened up east would give US a
big summer range on the best Of bunch grass.
A certain cavalry officer after passing through
this bunch grass country went to Ft. Klamath
and told the other officers that Skookum
prairie was set in Kentucky blue grass; in
reality some grass there favors it, especially
the seeds on tops SO it resembles that grass
Very much. Such fine summer ranges would
give US fine beef for fall and winter, also rest
our home pastures, thereby enable us to keep
more stock than at present, besides opening up
a trade with the pc ople east of the mountains.

than in ''Above the Clouds, yet our preference
in the plays is for "Above the Clouds This

any of our cities of comparative size. The
company appeared better balanced in this play
than hitherto, for previously the difference in
preparation and precocity was much more per-
ceptible. The 'nigger" in the barrel was a
good hit, and well executed. The comic farce
was rendered to perfection. Songs by d.
Clements and Major Walsh were well received
by the audience. Now we want TO say this,
better order was preserved that evening than
usual, for which the managers shall always
have the everlasting praise Of protected

We attended the Refem Club and was
pleasantly entertained. The exercises were
excellent, the young folks did exceedingly
well. There were several dialogues omitted

The Plaindealer has fallen into habit of
making mistakes in some Of its publications.
One instance in printing the Secretary's report
from the Looking Glass Reform Club, it gives
the name of Miss Mary Denning as Sec in
stead Of Alice B. Denning. Another instance
it states that Mr.. T. Strater died in Looking
Glass Jan. 18th, at the residence of Mr. D.
Gansau. The facts are Mr.. Strater died at
the residence of David Grenot in the French
Settlement on Jan. 22nd, and was buried in
Looking Glass buying ground on the 24th.
The body was followed to its last resting place
by large concourse of friends and relatives.
Mr.. Strater was young man well known
throughout the county. He was cut down in

settled on his lungs and terminated in con-
sumption and cut off his young life on the

THE WRONG GIRL.-Nothing more anus
ing has occurred in our town for many days
than small incident that transpired last Fri
day evening at the literary society There
was strain of seriousness connected with the
episode as well as amusement. 1t seems that
one Of our verdant youths approached two
young ladies>of the same Christian name and
asked TO see one of them home, the one not
intended replied in the affirmative and at this
juncture thejanitor had blown out the lights
and the mistaken parties proceeded together
as far as the Odd Fellows Hall when the
young gentleman discovered his mistake and
exclaimed .'oh my! you are the wrong girl, y
and broke away abruptly and ran up street.
The deserted young lady realized how YER
dant her escort was to leave her to wend her
way home all alone even though a mistake
was made; and the other girl was almost dying
with laughter because she alone saw the
point.
