LAND FRAUDS.

The department have unearthed many
serious land frauds in California, Oregon
and Washington in the purchase Of tim
Der lands under the act passed expressly
for the benefit of the settlers of these
States and Territory This act provides
that each settler is Untitled to purchase
not to exceed 40 acres Of timber land
of the Government, They have detected
the unlawful practice Of spectators in
securing men to make ostensible purchase
Of these lands, with these SPECTATORS
money and then turn themssover to the
spectators, and by this means these spec
ulators have secured large tracts of these
timbered lands, in violation of law. In
consequence of this discovery the COM
missioner has suspended the issue of pat
ents to timber lands in the States of Cal
ifornia and Oregon and the Territory
of Washington till he has investigated the
facts and found that these purchases had
been made in good faith under the law

THE LOST CABIN. The Warner prospect
ing parry found deserted cabin ca the
summit Of the Bitter Root mountains up
wards of 5000 feet above sea level. The
roof had fallen in A short distance from
this the skull and arm bones of a human be-
ing were found and at another point in a
guch near by they found an old mining
rocker about two miles from this they found
the letters L. p. cut into the bark of tree
and an examination Of the layers, these must
have been cut there some Is or IS years ago.
The cabin must have been built about that
time. Parties have years ago reported that
very rich silver mine was found near the
summit OF the Bitter Root mountains and
that cabin had been built near by, but
that what became of the builder no one
knows. Several searches have been made for
this lost cabin but no one has been able to
find it, and we understand that several years
ago Frank Points went in search OF this cab
in but did not find it. 1t is possible that
Points was the man who cut the initials in
the bark of the tree, and yet did not find
the cabin, as that is about two miles distan
| from the tree having the initials and the
timber quite dense. Will Frank Points
speak upon this points

an rshman who had before been in his en-
ploy, about year, and was taking HIM up
from Walla Walla to his mines on Salmon
river in his buggy. When at Dayton he re-
ceived about $4,000 in coin with which be
proposed to pay help at the mines, and plac
ed it in small trunk in his buggy. They
stopped at Pomeroy and while there the IT.
ishman gave some demon STATIONS to the
stablemen that he was not true blue, and
they notified Small of the fact that he had
better look out for him Small then took
his money from the trunk and secured it in
another part of the buggy. They started
on, and at dinner time they stopped at Free
mans and drove the buggy up in front Of
the door where it could be noticed while at
dinner and took the horses to the ztable for
feed. While Small was in the house the IT.
ishman rolled away the buggy out Of sight,
took out the trunk and broke it open with a
fence stake but 10, the money was gone,
and party saw him put the trunk back IN
to the wagon. Finding that he was detected
he ran upon the hill back, seized a white
horse and rode HIM in the direction of Pome-
roy, and when seen there, riding through
town, he was supposed to be on one of Small S
horses, and was suspected of foul play and
they pursued him, but his horse out ran
those of his pursuers and he went cut OF
sight OF them, and when out OF sight he over
took team driven by boy and he dis
mounted, jumped into the bottom of tns
wagon and led bis horse behind. His pursu.
ers missed him, but afterwards he was appre.
hended and lodged in Jail for horse stealing
There is but little doubt that Smalls chang.
of the position OF his money saved it from
being stolen and perhaps from being attacked
for the purpose of robbery in case the money
would not be given up without an attack
Small finding that the fellow had left hin
and that he had not got his money, went Oh
his journey rejoicing.

WHAT THE COLFAx "VDETTE'
THINKS ALoUp.-At last the great
Lam (Villard) has had his appetite for
glory satiated.

THOSE OUTLETS.

The Terrebonne Times attacks
the arguments of the Sentinel, in
reference to Cowden's optical illu.
sions, and prints a long extract
from some report of the Engineer
Department, fondly imagining that
to be an argument that will close
the mouth of every man who has
the presumption to differ from its
theories.
The extract says, in substance.
that the inflow Of the Mississippi
river above the mouth of Red Riv
er is 100000 cubic feet of water
per second more than the overflow
below New Orleans.
Aud the Times then rubs mp its
mathematical genius and goes on
to show that it will take 66G days
in each year to let out the water
that passes Vicksburgh. Figures
never lie, aud hence, We must imag
inc the Timess figures to be cor.
rect.
The fact is, however, that in 1883
all the inflow below Vicksborgh
passed out by way of New Orleans,
aud that without forming any new
Outlets, carrying with it that 70O,-
600 cubic feet per second.
Another fact is evident and we'll
known.
When the flood wave passed
Vicksburgh it rushed downwards,
filling up the river from le.ee to
Levee. The Bonnet Carre outlet
was closed. Yet, within less than
FIVE days, the river began to fall al
the way to the Gulf, and kept fall
ing until it was no longer DANCE
rous. whilst the inflow at Vicks
burgh continued the same. Not
withdrawing 100000 cubic feet
that science says passed Vicks
burgh, per second, more than could
get cut of the river below New
Orleans, still it did pass out, and in
passing. out, so dredsed out the
lower river, with the bars below
the Bonnet Care, that the fall
was three times more al New Or
leaus than it was at Natchez.

DRAINAGE.

AT the hext session of the Police
jury, that will be held Oh July 9
next, commissioners for the various
Drainage Districts under the Act
No. LOB, adopted by tho Police IN
~ at the session held on May 10th.
ullimo will be selected.
1t is important that said commits
sioners should be citizens of energy,
skill, judgment, aud honesty.
The duties they will have to per
form will result, if properly perform
ed, in the prompt success of the
grandest enterprise ever underta
ken in Lafourche. The cleaning
of the natural drains throughout
the Parish and giving the surplus
water AL opportunity to reach tide
water quickly will uncover thous
ands of acres of lands now designa
ted as swamp lands, will enable
planters to drain much more speed
lily and effectively their cultivated
fields, will remove many of the
causes that produce sickness during
the Summer and Fall, and will add
large areas of land to the nse of
the pillow and the hoe.
This is no delusory dream Of the
imagination. Every foot OF swamp
land in the Parish of Lafourche is
several feet above Tide water. The
cleaning out of the outlets and
drains that nature has made will &C
complish the purpose sought. There
is enough land, that can be recoy
cred in Lafourche, to support 5000
families in comfort and happiness.
Every citizen in the Parish is e
sonally in~tereeted in the success Of
this work, and should not hesitate
to confer with the members of the
Police Jury in reference to the
proper men to be chosen as com
missioners. Every member of the
Jury would be pleased to have his
constituents advise with him on
this subject.
If proper energy and will is
Shown by the commissioners to be
appointed, a very important part
Of the work can be contaminated be
fore the present year expires. 1t
ought to be commenced very soon.
1t ought to be far enough advanc
cd the present year to produce
much relief to the people Of the
Parish, and to enhance the public
