Why Roosevelt Wanted Cortelyou
Made Chairman.

Washington, June 23.-From authori-
tative sources it e learned here that
the real object OF Roosevelt i'm press
ing Secretary CorteIyou for the posi-
ton of chairman of the national Re-
publican committee was TO avoid the
'eXtravagant disposition of funds
given to the committee for campaign
purposes The president believes that
with AIT. COrtelyOu at the head Of af-
fairs and directing the expenditure Of
money a satisfactory account can be
given at the end of the campaign for
all money expended. Friends of tie
president have drawn to his attention
the stories which have been current
i'm Washington after presidential cam
paigns of large sums being diverted
for private gain. and in some cases
names ana figures have been presented
TO him to substantiate the statements
made 1t is well known that Senator
Hanna changed some of the methods
of Republican chairmen when he was
selected, but even his watchfulness of
the funds collected did not prevent the
diversion of sums of money which have
not been satisfactorily accounted for.

April Was a Wet Month.

Al ril has been rainy month, as
months go in Southern Oregon though
in comparison with February and
March it seemed dry. April has al
ternated sunshine with rain through
out the month, except in the first
week, when we had a few days of
real summer weather May dawns
fair and bright. The air IS cool and
balmy and tie bright, clear days are
thoroughly appreciated after the alb.
normal amount of rainy weather
which the spring has given us.
Grass aud all vegetation are luxuriant
and the spring freshness ON the hills
makes every glance pleasure.
The prospects for a bountiful fruit
crop were never better The weather
has made the transition from rainy to
fair without frost and thus crisis
in the lives of the peaches is past,
for brief period of fair westher will
put them beyond any probable danger
of injury by frost. The prospects are
equally good for all manner of crops
aud it is safe to assert tat 1904 will

NO CHINESE NEED APPLY
Employese of CelestiNlsNotiiled TO
Hire White Men

The appearance on Wednesday of n
train load Of Chinese laborers who
had been brought in by the o, R. &
n. Co, for work on the railroad caused
considerable stir among certain oiti-
zens and in the afternoon a mass meet
ing was held which was attended by
about l50 people although no notice
of meeting was given out. 1t was
in every sense an anti-Chinese meet
lug, and the common sentiment was
that the Chinese must go. Notice has
been served on all Cinnamon in the
county to depart and ON the employees
of Chinese help to hereafter nire no
Chinese in this county.
The following resolutions were
passed at the meeting and copy
brought to this Office for publication :;
A mass meeting of the citizens of
Josephine county for the purpose of
prohibiting Chinamen from being
brought into the aforesaid county to
labor on o. r. N. railroad, or any
other private or public works.
Resolved, That committee Of
five men wait upon said railroad
company and to notify said company
that they must remove all Cinnamon
from their employment in this county
