The project of public library, for
which the mass meeting is to be held
on Friday evening, is one which
should command attention and de.
serves the support Of all citizens who
have at heart the public welfare. The
project involves some expense and de
mands some generosity on the part Of
those who will see no direct benefit
resulting to themselves for those who
profit by the library are, generally
speaking, not the ones whose money
supports It, There are few men,
however, who will grudgo an expen-
diture when they can see no individ.
ual benefit resulting for themselves.
A man IL indebted to society for all
the comforts which he may enjoy and
this fact should make him generous

In the rush for timber lands which
Is now going on throughout Southern
Oregon, the miners should watch the
locations carefully and be ready with
their protests II timber locations are
made upon ground claimed by them.
A better way is for every miner who
owns n mining claim which might
possibly be located upon as timber
land to send in plat of his mining
land to the land Office. and timber
location on tina. piece of land will
not then be allowed Every miner
should know the location of his
ground by section, township and
range and should carefully watch the
timber locations 1t would be good
thing for the miners to select some
one to keep an eye on the timber loca.
tions and let each one furnish that
person with description of their own
mining land.

American Trade Long Ago.

To the notices which we nave from
time to time published of the favorable
posture of trade we may add a graft
flying view of u commerce with the
United States. Its extent is probably
more considerable than u readers
would imagine. The exports from
Scotland of manufactured goods to va
rious parts of the Union will this year
mount to about e., 100000. The mag
nitude of the sum will appear more
surprising when we consider the re-
strictions which prohibit us from tax
ing in exchange agricultural produce,
A trade so important it behooves us to
cherish with all possible care, and 1t Is
gratifying to think that customers so
valuable are a free people. little likely
