A couple of weeks ago the trouble

by his barking like dog. DR.. Paine

There occurred a queer freak Of the

gon City Enterprise, when the resi-
dence of John Matz, at Tobasco, was
partially destroyed by fire Saturday
evening during the absence of the
family. 1t appears that lamp must
have exploded but the fire did not get
on the ouside of the house. The
rooms were tight and there was 40

room was burned or charred and The
fire extinguished itself. When Mr..
Matz returned and opened the door he
found the inside of his house black

The Southern Oregon mines are at
tracing so much attention that the
Southern Pacific is selling round trip
tickets to them from all points. The
Tact is Southern Oregon is attracting
great deal Of attention and advancing
rapidly, not only oh account of her TN
developed mineral wealth, but also be-
cause Of her rich soil and beautiful and
healthful misunderstanding enough of
the Webfoot dampness to insure good
crops, and enough of the California
sunshine to fit the term, 'the Italy Of
Oregon.n We do not envy Southern
Oregon her renewed prosperity. The

will be watched for with much inter

which have now become parts of cities
in this state in which all the original
deeds bore such proviso. 1t is not
probable that such ideas will prevail
against the sentiment Of a majority Of
any community. 1t is like laws pass
ed by Sabbatarlans aud temperance
advocates. The average American
citizen, II he believes himself unjustly
restrained of his liberty by any law,
would break that law. And when
an approximate half Of a community
breaks law it becomes a dead letter.
