NEWS.

men Win tne courage OF years
And the eager eyed boy
Fresh from the college, who hears
But a clamor of joy
Calling from worlds to be seen
And revealed by his pen;
Warm hearted. cynical, keen,
Irrepressible men.
Scatter divergently forth
On the multiple quest,
Ranging the south and the north
And the east and the west.
Chasing the rumor that flies
Like shepherdless soul,
Sitting the truth and the lies
OF equator and pole,
Drinking the palaces mirth
And the reek of the stews,
Searching the quarters of earth
For the staple of news
News!. News! News!
Echoes of empire, Tales of the
continents,
News!
All that is done in the ken
OF plying sky
Gathered with pencil and pen
And the cameras eye
Word Of the death of king,
OF the fall of a star;
Tidings OF battle, the ring
OF the rumor of war;
Themes for the roll book of time
Or the breath of day;
Glory and folly and crime
OF the strivings of clay,
Faithfully jotted and drawn
From the least to the most,
Speed on the wings of the dawn,
On the wheels of the post.
Packet ard budget are filed,
And the magical clews
Threading the ether are thrilled
With the throbbing of news.
News! News News!
Snapshots Of mysteries! Peeps at
the universe
Newsl
Hurry incarnate The breeze
OF the rushing of men;
Chatter of typewriter keys
And the scratch of the pen
Racing with thought and despair
To encompass the tale
Flooding from ocean and air
And the deluge Of mail;
Linotypes, clicking unheard
In the turmoil of speed,
Coming the form of the word
For the millions to read;
Last. through the noises that throng
In tumultuous stress
Tbunders the resonant song
OF the iubilant press
Monster titanic that roars
In delight of his thews,
Out on the nation he pours
The Niagara of news.
News. News! News.
Crumbs of humanity! Sweepings of
history.

THE TIME TO BUY.

The successful investor is the one
who knows when and where TO buy
and when and where to sell. The
average person generally buys at the
wrong time and likewise sells at the
wrong time. The present. time is un-
doubtedly the psychological one for
making successful real estate in
vestment in Grants Pass and vicinity.
Bargains are being offered which a
year from now will sstonish one with
the per cent Of gain. At the present
time the prices asked for property are
on an average as reasonable ss can
ever be expected. There is no ficti.
tious value OF hot air boom value and
therefore TO the man who has q little
loose cash. this is n golden oppor-
tunity to make paying investment.
The Rogue River Valley is bound to
be the center Of large population
and Grants Pass surrounded BY its
many tributary valleys .of wonderful
fertility will become the center Of all
this life. When Southern Oregon
shall have been exploited In the man.
ner of Southern California. you may
expect TO see an immense throng Of
people from tho East coming here
merely for q home. Then your
farming and orchard land at twenty
i've and thirty dollars an acre and
your town lots at . hundred and Hfty
dollars will be ancient history and
you win bemoan the fact that when
he opportunity was presented to get
property ut = reasonable value, you
did not seize IL, The bench lands Of
the Rogue River have not been ex-
plotted at all but the possibilities for
grape and peach culture are amazing.
II has been claimed by those who are
in position to know that the Rogue
River Valley can equal the best dis
triots Of France In the growth Of the
grape. Then let a general system of
irrigation be developed for the val.
ley and II is bound to come, then the
number of people that will pour in
will astonish the old settler. Nature
only allotted so many acres TO the
Rogue River and IL is we'll to get A
few Of them while they are within
your reach. Now is the time 10 buy
Rogue River Valley property and In
passing IL may be remarked that 1t is
good time to sell Portland realty.

THE EGOTISTIC JAP.

II is a very trite saying but never
theless very true, that familiarity
breeds contempt. That seems TO be
the present situation of the United
States and Japan. The United States
has praised the progress the japanese
have been making in civilization, on
every possible occasion. We have
held her up AS model scholar and
now, like the parent of spoiled
child, we are reapinR the reward Of
our indlscretion in treating an in
t5rior nation with familiarity aud
equality, The most humiliating thing
about the whole affair is that by our
own fulsome praise of the japanese
prowess we have got ourselves in an
attitude Of mind that makes us
cringe at the least threat Of trouble.
japan is now muttsring threats
over hoodlum restaurant brawl in
San Francisco and conveying veiled
threats Of sending feet to some Of
our ports 1t is enough TO make
some of our old sturdy American
statesmen turn over in their graves
America was the nation that opened
mp apan TO civilization and broke the
seal Of Oriental exclusion and now il
begins to look that il would be our
duty to teach her the proper attitude
to observe in. her diplomatic relations
and not be carrying a chip around

stand up and look any Of the Borgias
In the EYE and say: II am your

that human soul could be 20 base.
And yet he sat in the witness chair

waxed ..and curled. patent leather

nonchalanoe as you or would speak
Of days duck hunting or Of string
Of trout caught. His crimes would
disgrace Caveman for the Caveman
was prompted to murder by hunger
Nnd passion buj Orchard has no such
excuse To cap the climax, this self
confessed assassanator has "got re-

cell reading the Bible and the Life
Of John Wesley alternating with
writing true history of his crimes.

We OF the present generation are

not given many people to observe.
That is the founding and building up
of new religion. In the past the
religions that have been force in the

But Christian Science Is growing
right under the glare Of twentieth

the scrutiny Of the prying eyes OF the

plate how founders Of some religions
would have endured the ordeal Of an
age OF telegraphy, photography, the
octuple printing press, and general
education Of the masses. At the
present time Mrs Eddy is the center
Of bitter controversy in the courts

Work to Handle.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-With about
800 complaints on it's docket for hear
ing, the interstate commerce commits
sion finds itself, upon reconvening this
fall, to be overwhelmed with work.
The commission could not possibly
hear all these cases at its headquarters
in Washington, and advantage is to be
taken of the authorization of congress
to appoint special examiners to travel
about and conduct hearings in COM
mercial and railroad centers through
out the country. It is expected that
possibly eight of such appointments
will be made. Lawyers in some in
stances, or practical railroad men.
will be selected for these positions.
/ The commission now has four spe-
cial examiners on duty travelling about
the country, and the plan has proven
satisfactory. The special examiners
get about $4,000 a year. The commits
sion is understood now to have under
consideration a number of applica tons
for the new jobs, but no appointments
have been announced

BOILERNIAKERS' STRIKE.
Those in Katy shops at Parsons Have
Grievances.

InOSe III hdIy SiAOpS at AAAtC
Grievances.
Parsons, Kan, Oct. 19.-All the
boilermakers employed by the new
shops of the Katy at this place walked
out at 1880 yesterday afternoon. The
strike followed a conference held yes
terday morning between William
O'Herin, superintendent of motive
power, and a committee representing
the Boilermakers' union, in regard to
certain grievances in the boiler shop.
The strike is a local affair and does
not extend over the system of the
Katy.
D. NJ. Franklin of Kansas City. one
of the head officers of the Boiler
makers union, has been sent for ana
it is thought that the differences be-
tween the company and the men can
be satisfactorily adjusted within few
days and the men return to work.
Just at this time when the company is
short of equipment to handle the large
amount of business on the road ana
the shops are worked to the limit. a
continued strike would be a serious
matter, not only with the road. but
the employees and the public in general,
and it is to be hoped that the differ
ences between the company and the
employees can soon be amicably and
satisfactorily adjusted
