The East oregonian is mistaken
when it says we compare Mr.. Tafe's
action in sending the fish to the suffer-
ers at Spokane Falls to that of Christ
when he said it was no harm to do
good on the Sabbath day. Our Ian
guage was, "that such a violation" of
written law was sanctioned by the
Savior himself; and further to explain
our position we added: Exceptions to
the rigors of every statute-to alIay
misery, to prolong life or furnish the
starving with food-have always been
admitted to be more binding than a
literal Interpretation of the law"
Spokane Falls, at the time of the great
fire, was not in need of money, but of
immediate relief in the shape of food,
and nearly all the donations directly
after the conAagration were of provi.
sions. The telegraph informed US that
the flames had destroyed nearly all
means of sustaining life, and the ur-
gent necessity was food. The mil
lionaires of the Falls could draw money
from any bank in the country if the
people who were burned out could eat
bank notes and $40 pieces; but they
could not. Therefore the charity in
this instance, was furnishing in the
quickest possible time something to
support the body until it
could be purchased. For this reason
the salmon sent by Mr.. Taffe
was a great deal more acceptable
than if he had sent the value in coin.
We do not consider Mr.. Taffe mod
ern Christ, but believed he followed
the injunctions of the great Teacher in
shipping fish to Spokane Falls,
to relieve tie immediate necessities.

Most women naturally look forward to

Douglas county Agricultural and Mechanical
fair have something to offer the district board
as substitute for something better which
may hereafter be offered by the people of
Roseburg. In claiming the parentage Of the
county fair do not wish to be held response
bic for the acts of all the rurses through
whose hands the baby passed; but I am here
now to ask the board of Agriculture OF South
ern Oregon TO adopt our baby, take lis prop
erty, hold its next fair on its grounds and
then remove ali to any place more suitable
which can be obtained.
would kindly call the attention of the
board and the people generally TO the fact
that the county fair ground is now in splendid
order, the race track is firm and fine and IN
splendid condition; additional stablng for
temporary purposes can be speedily and cheap
ly constructed, plenty of good water can be
furnished TO supply all requirements; and
trains can be run as usual from Roseburg to
| billiard. We would as a special inducement
| to the people Of Jackson and Josephine coun-
ties have an excursion tram leave Ashland or
Grants Pass on the second day Thursday
bringing passengers and stock; returning on
the evening Of Friday the last day Of the fair i.
We would favor the people Of Oakland and
vicinity with the same facilities A trestle
foot bridge would be thrown across the river
connecting the railroad station with the fair
grounds and many other convenienceS would
be introduced for the comfort OF the people.
Particular attention would be paid to have
sufficient restaurants, good food and courteous
WATERS. All exhibitors Of live stock would
receive free admission tickets and free hay fol
stock on exhibition. To horses entered fo

and owners free admission tickets, and 10 al
