Roseburg, Or, Aug. 30 The
protest against the further extern
tion of forest reserve in Oregon re-
Gently issued by the Roseburg
Board of Trade, is already meeting
with favorable endorsement. Among
these is the following letter just re-

Or. Dear Sir-I am this day in re-
ceips of your letter of August 25,
containing copy of resolutions re-
certify passed by your Board of
Trade in reference to the creation of

Il am in full and complete sym

many other grod things, it should
not be over uone.

MANAGEMENT SERVED THEM
DRINKS, BUT CHARGED FOUR
TIMES REGULAR PRICE.
WHITE GUESTS WERgPUfYO FLIGHT
Seated Themselves in Palm Room and
Ladies Departed Ordered
From the Marlborough by
southerners and
They Went

NEw YORK. Feb. l3-Four negroes,
evidently looking for an insult or a
discrimination on which to base a
damage suit, made a tour CT the Ten
derloin in the afternoon, but met an
expensive failure.
They proved, however, that negroes
may be served at the very best hotels,
including the Waldorf-Astoria, but
they have to pay the price
They first appeared in the Waldorf
cafe, and as they seated themselves at
a table all the white patrons departed.
They ordered a white waiter to
bring them four glasses OF whisky,
which the waiter quickly did, handing
them a check for s., or 70 cents for
each drink. The regular price there
is 20 cents.
One Of the negroes, who said he was
William FL. Lewis, the Harvard foot
ball man, recently appointed an As
sistant United States District Attor-
ney in Boston, but who apparently
was not, complained that the charge
was excessive, but the waiter stood
like a mummy and the negroes paid 1t
and left the barrOom.
They walked through the corridors
to the palm room, where a number OF
ladies were enjoying tea. As they
seated themselves all the other
ipatrons left the room.
They ordered foEf more whistles,
which were brought with So check.
After that they left the hotel, failing
to be insulted, but being offensive tc
many Others.
Then they went to the Imperial,
where they ordered four Scotch high
balls and were served in great haste
and asked to pay a check for g. This
they paid and then went to the pint
room. where there we're a number o.
men and women.
The white people left the Don a.
once and the negroes lit cigarettes ant
smoked awhile, and finding that thu
management was not disposed to in
suit them they left.
At the Marlborough the waiter
would not walt on them, apd as the.
threatened TO make trouble with tn
bartenders several Southern patron
Of the hotel stepped up to them ant
ordered them out OF the place.
This order was so imperative tina
there was little dispute and they de
parted without having any cause 70
action against the proprietors Of tn
hotel.

MELANCH0LIA
Is a Perilous Disease and One That
Leads to insanity.
Paine's
CeIevC
Has Saved Thousands Of MeIan-
chOIists From the Grave.

Melaneholia is a grave disease; it has
a tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; in many cases it leads TO
read insanity. The first important
symptom Of ordinary melancholia Is
sleeplessness. Another symtom Of
the great importance is a dull pain In
the back OF the neck, extending to the
back OF the head. Then we see other
symptoms, such as depression Of spirits,
slow mental and muscular movements,
retarded speech, terrifying hallucina-
tons, aversion TO food and a disregard
Of life. Every case OF melancholia is
directly traceable to a weakness or
collapse Of the nervous system. The
nerve brances Of the sympathetic
system, the spinal column and brain,
are not doing their work, and the
blood is thin, sluggish or impure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
great rescue and life builder OF every
melancholIc victim. AS a nerve food,
this marvellous Compound quickly i'm
parts n0urishment and life TO the weak
and famished nerves, after which
comes a new vitality-a feeling that
life is precious and worth living. The
stomach, liver and kidneys are toned,
digestion becoiEes perfect 4 natural
appetite is bestowed, and sweet. re-
freshiDg sleep eonduces % q vigorous
health. Paine's Celery Compound has

Of melaneh0lia with Indifference.

Good sale.

In conversation In regard to Charlie
Hlll's sale Mr.. j. T. johnson, the
auctioner's in substance said:
YOne Of the best and most satisfac-
tory sales | ever cried was for Charlie
Hill on the 18th. Every article offer.
ed was In iirst-class condition and
brought good prices, notwithstand-
ing the awful condition Of the roads,
a good sized crowd was in attendance
and every man present was a buyer.
The ladies OF Hopewell church, under
the management Of Mrs. @. w. Lewis,
served a lunch at noon: a very pleasant
day was spent. Shorthorn COWS
brought as high as s65; work teams
brought as high as 1910, per team, and
so far Mr.. Hill has topped the price
for mules teams, Mules teams sold as
high as 1866 per span; unbroken two
year-old mules sold as high as s265 per
span. 1t seems like the return Of the
good old-times when three of Mr..
Hills best teams brought a total Of
s1,04O. A good evidence Of good times
prevailing among u farmers and
stock men is that the entire proceeds
Of the sale were collected on that day
and very few notes were given. Like
all Of Nj. Hill's undertakings every
thing was systematic and orderly. Mr..

Snow ME"

There's a knowing little phrase
We hear full often nowadays
A little group OF words that find
A speedy Judgment in the mind;
"Show me-I'm from Missouri"
No matter wheresoe'er you turn,
This little phrase you cannot spurn.
For wheresoeyer you may stray,
Some one is almost sure to say;
"Show me-I'm from Missouri
IL you have fairy tales to tell
If you have golden bricks TO sell,
Some shrewd Trans Mississippi wight
Will say, in manner free and light:
''Show me-I'm from Missouri"
Ii of your proves you should boast,
And tell how once you licked a host.
Some fellow would be sure to rise
And say TO you in doubling wise:
"Show me-I'm from Missouri
II you should tell how once you made
Ten thousand collars in a trade,
Some farmer there, beyond a doubt
Would fluster you by calling out:
'Show me-I'm from Missouri"

Who always get a'living show,
BY saying, as through life they go:

BIG BLIZZARD.
Causes Heavy Losses to Cattlemen in
the southwest

Teiegraphic reports show that the
blizzard which came out Of the North
west has swept down over the South,
the severest storm which has been
known in years.
North Texas suffered more, probab-
ly, than any other part of the conn-
try. In some places the mercury
dropped forty degrees, causing much
distress. Stock in the open suffered
and thousands OF head will die. A
foot of snow is reported In some parts
Of the Panhandle.
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Ar
kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio,
Indiana and Georgia also suffered very
extensively.
In the Northwest the temperature
has begun to moderate somewhat after
the severe blizzard, but this only
seems to indicate that the storm cen
ter is shifting to the Southeast.
Several trains were snowbound 10
Kansas and Nebraska. One death
is reported in West Missouri.
Already stockmen are predicting
that the price of beef will take a rise
in the near future, owing to the heavy
losses on cattle because Of the storm.
Cattlemen were totally unprepared
49,
for the sudden drop in the tempera
ture, as the blizzard was not expected
Not only is there q loss on cattle be
cause Of the number which died, bni
those which survive the blizzard viii
lose materially in weight, and will mol
be in condition for market for months
In Mississippi and Georgia a severe
wind storm ragged yesterday and many
persons are reported killed and in
iured.

Cole Younger, who has been visiting
his cousin, DR.. G. T. Twyman, of this
city, left this morning for the home OF
his aged sister at Lees Summit.
Cole Younger and Frank James met
IN this city last night for the first
time 10 a quarter Of a century. The
meeting was brought about through
theatrical managers, who wished to
star Younger, but the conditions of
the parole prevented. James grasped
the old bandit by both hand when he
met him. Younger first broke the
silence.
''You won't do it, viii you Frank"
and then they drew 70 one side and
engaged ia earnest conversation.
Before leaving Cole Younger was
asked is be had reached an agreement
with James, and at once denoted dis
pleasure, and said:

terms Of my parole, which ! hold

should Mothers Be Shot

The Emporia Gazette seems to be-
lieye that it was a good thing that the
mother OF that Clark baby in Montana
died. IL hasn't anything TO say
againt the Clark woman-in fact'it
never heard OF her until after she had
died in bringing the baby into exis-
tence-but on general principles il is
impressed with the notion that IL
probably is best for the babies all
around when their mothers die. To
be sure, the Gazette is willing to admit
that when a mother wants to be the
sacredest thing alive" why, she is the
sacredest thing alive, but still there
is always the doubt as to what mothers
really want to be, and, all things con-
sidered. it is probably best that they
should die. We quote from the
Gazette, having fully in mind those
stern old Cretans who cast into the
sea all their weak and undesirable
relatives, and possessed Of great adj
miration for their Emporia prototype:
1.-THE trouble with many mothers is
that they pet their children to death.
II the Clark child's mother was Of
that sort, 70 far as the child is con-
cerned, she is better dead. This is a
hard thing to say. But too much Of
the sorrow Of this world comes from
worthlesnesS, which is foStered by
foolish mothers, who pet their chill
dren. A mother is the sacredest
thing aliye-when she wants to be;
but when she is a fool she ian do more
harm than any other agency. This is
heresy and many Of the subscribers Of
the Gazette will scream: But it is the
Lords own truth"

THOSE who are interested viii move
Immediately in reference to having
Jefferson street paved south from the
public square. Arrangements have
been made to have jefferson street
paved to the north side of Promenade
street. Jefferson street should be
paved from gutter TO gutter to the
railroad crossing; from the railroad
crossing, south, the paving should be
20 feet wide with a grass plot on both
sides. This expense is all borne by
the property owners along the street.
and will be a good investment for all
concerned. The question Of paving
residence streets is being taken up by
parties who live on other streets and
we believe within a year or so street
paving win be put down on all Of the
main residence streets.
