The Act for the sale Of timber
lands in tho States Of California,
Oregon Nevada and the Territory
of Washington is very strict in its
provisions, and SO plain in its words
ing that it can be readily compre>
hendcd by the simpl est mind. This
is the law under which timber loca>
tons are made and timber lands
are purchased in this Territory.
Now, so PLAIN has this law been
made it would seem impossible TO
violate it in any particular, yet such
violations are of frequent occur
renee, especially in the publication
of notices Of application to purchse
timber lands. The law expressly
states that such notices shall be
published in the newspaper pub
lished nearest the location Of the
premises" (nearest to the land 10
cated), and failure to comply with
this provision is a failure to comply
with the letter of the law, conse.
quently involving difficulties in OBJ
tanning title. We quote from sec
ton of the Act that portion re-
lating to tho publication Of timber
land notices:
"Soc. 3. That upon the filing of
said statement, as provided in the
second section of this act, the regis
ter Of tho land offie shall post a no.
tice of such application, embracing
a description of the land by legal
subdivisions, in his Office for PEI
riod Of sixty days, and shall fur
nsh the applicant copy of the same
for publication, at the expense of
such applicant, in newspaper pubs
iished nearest tho location Of the
premises, for like period of time;
and after the expiration of said sixty
days, it no adverse claim shall have
been flied, tho person desiring to
purchase shall furnish to the reg
lister of the land office satisfactory
evidence, first, that said notice Of
the application prepared by the
register as aforesaid WAS du y pub
lished in newspaper as herein re-
CURED" X x #
Z. 1t will be seen from the above
that it is necessary to publish the
notice of application to purchase
timber lands in the nearest ne wspa-
per, otherwise the law quoted will
be violated. For the benefit of per-
sons who intend to purchase timber
lands in Whatcom county we pubs
lish the following directions: For
all that territory north of a line
drawn from the southwe corner
of township 35 north, range 3 east,
to the northeast corner of township
30 north, range 4 east, and thence
in u northeast erly direction, all such
notices should be advertised in
the NORTHWEST ENTERPRISE, as this
paper is nearest to any of such
lands. The same provision is made
relative to the publ cation Of notices
Of intention to make final proof.

The Secretary of War withholds
the appropriations for the improve
ment of the rivers Of Washington
Territory, we presume, because no
can. He "sat down upon" the Ska>
get and Nooksack, and other Puget
Sound rivers, and now he places the
Chehalis River on his little "black
list" when tho paltry appropriate
ton of $4,000 would have made
that river navigable for about 100
miles. We think the pig>hcaded
Secretary would not have Withheld
an appropriation Of ten times tho
amount allotted TO any one of our
rivers if it were to be applied to
the improvement of some worthless
Illinois slough of five or six miles
length, or if it would promote some
conscienceIess political jobbery.

THE bill directing the Levy Court OF
Of this county to repay B. Frank Town
send and others certain moneys sub
scribed by them to build the Third
Street bridge, at Wilmington, is very
sick child now. Two of the daily news
papers Of Wilmington have done good
work in ripping it open so that the peo-
pie could have all inside view Of it be-
fore it reached the Senate. 1t has been
shown that the contributions were vol
untary, and that those who made them
did not expect at that time to be repaid.
Mr.. Townsend and others wanted a
bridge because they believed it would
benefit their respective properties, and
they were benefited as they had ex-
pected. The bill went through the
House last week and then New Castle
county people began to think about it.
The Levy Court went to Dover this
week to protest against the bill, and the
newspapers have shed all necessary
light upon it. If it gets one vote in the
Senate we shall be surprised. Our Rep
resentatiye from st. Georges hundred
is one of the very few who opposed the
bill in the House.

THE STORY Of Jesse Williams and
his 1000 in gold has rather an i'm
probable appearance, and yet Jesse tells
it as though he was in dead earnest.
His account Of his wanderings with his
grip sack and the manner in which he
lost it does not bear the stamp Of i'm
probability, but the reader will be slow
to believe that a man would be fool
enough to carry $1,000 in gold around
the country and leave it in the care Of
a stranger in railway station. For
the information of those who are not in
the habit of carrying $1,000 in gold
about in grip sack, we will say that
that amount of gold weighs about
thirty-fve pounds.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, Gov
ernor of Georgia and ex- Vice President
of the Southern Confederacy, died in
Atlanta on Sunday morning. He was
born in Taliaferro county, Georgia, in
1872, graduated at Franklin College in
1882 and admitted to the bar in 1884.
At first he had a hard struggle with
poverty but soon built up a large and
lucrative practice. He was elected to
the lower House Of the Georgia AS
sembly for five successive terms, and
afterwards served in the State Senate.
In 1S43 he was elected as a Whig to
Congress and held his seat till 1859.
After the breaking up Of the Wing
party he acted with the Democrats.
During the Presidential canvass of 1860
he sustained Douglas and denounced
those who advocated dissolution of
the Union in case Of Lincoln's cleo
tion, and made a speech before the
Legislature Of Georgia against seces-
sion. In the secession convention at
Milledgeville he spoke and voted
against the secession ordinance. But
he g went out'' with his State
He was member of the Southern
Congress which met in Montgomery,
and was elected Vice President of the
Confederacy. He frequently differed
from the policy of the Richmond gov
eminent, especially on the subject Of
martial law. After Lees surrender
Mr.. Stephens returned to his home in
Charlottesville, where he was arrested
in May 1866 and sent to Fort Warren
in Boston harbor. In October he was
released on parole. He favored the
restoration policy of President johnson.
In 1866 he was elected to the United
States Senate but was not permitted to
take his seat. In 1872 he was elected
to Congress and again in 1874 almost
without opposition. Although Mr..
Stephens died in advanced years, he
was afflicted from childhood with fee
bleness and disease but he had splendid
resolution. His popularity in Georgia
was great to the last.

A MOVEMENT to give New Castle
county increased representation has at
last been made in the right way. The
plan of increase by direct legislative
enactment should have long ago been
abandoned as impracticable. The bill
referred to on our local page provides
for an increase of five Representatives
by constitutional amendment. The
Senate is to be increased to twelve
four from each county. Wilmington
IS to have five Of the Representatives
and two Senators, and is to choose them
by her own votes alone. The plan
seems to be an excellent one and ought
to be satisfactory to both Wilmington
and the rural hundreds. From all we
can learn this bill is approved by oul
New Castle Representatives and is un.
Objectionable to Kent and Sussex.

that the word " cents'' be added to the

rid our minds of the fear that wicked
people will have the new coins gilded
and persuade us that they are a late

head off the wicked by every possible

murder and it now goes to the Governor
for his approval or disapproval. Maine
is thoroughly satisfied, probably, that
the only certain way to reform a muir

disposing of murderers have been sug-

Death of a Noted Scout.

Colonel Harry Gilmor, the noted
Confederate scout, who during the war
was conspicuous for his pluck and
bravery in various cavalry expeditions,
died on Sunday evening at his home
near Baltimore, from a cancerous affec-
tion, with which he had been suffering
for several weeks. He was forty-siX
years old. He recently submitted to
two painful surgical operations, declin-
ing the use of opiates, but there was no
beneficial result. His sufferings for the
ten days previous to his death were of
Gse most intense character. Notwith-
hiding this he was comparatively
cheerful. His mind was unclouded,
and only few days before he died he
conversed cheerfully with General
Jubal "A. Early, who called to see him.
Governor Hamilton was among his visi-
tors on Saturday, and many ex-C -Confeder-
ates called recently at his shouse. Colonel
Gilmor was born at Baltimore, he was
the son Of Robert Gilmor, who held a
diplomatic post under Mr.. Reeves.
Minister to Spain during the admins
tration of President Monroe, and Of
Ellen Ward, daughter of Chief Judge
Ward, Of Wilmington, Del. He was
educated by private tutor from Har-
ward University and learned the trade
Of a machinist. AT the breaking out of
the war he espoused the Confederate
cause and raised a band Of dashing men
who fought with bravery in many
of the great battles of the war, He
led many famous raids and operated
extensively within the federal lines.
He was present at the first battle of
Gettysburg and distinguished himself
by his reckless courage. He kept his
band together until the early part Of
1866, when he was captured by Major
Young, one of Sheridan's scouts.
Colonel Gilmor was buried with military
honors. The members of the Maryland
Line Society, Confederate State Society
of Maryland, Fifth Maryland Regiment,
Masons and Odd Fellows and other
societies Of which he was a member
participated in the demonstration.
Prominent merchants and bankers have
united in an effort to raise a subscrip-
tion of ten thousand dollars for the
education Of Colonel Gilmor's three
orphan children, and it has nearly all
been subscribed.

THE most important legislation OF
the whole Congressional session, that
regarding revenue and tariff revision.
was rushed through in the closing hours.
The Protectionists of the House, dis,
satisfied with the tariff reductions of
Senate Bill, had it sent to conference
committee so strongly in sympathy
with their ideas, that most of the
Democratic appointees refused to serve.
This committee, as finally constituted,
increased some Of the rates, although
it made no very material changes, and
both branches accepted its report. No
body, however, appears to be really
satisfied with it, The total reduction
in revenue from its changes, in both
the internal and customs taxes, is
estimated at S75,000,0OO.
