THE secretary of the interior has
affirmed the decision of the commits
sioner of the general land Office of
November Is, 1886, in an appeal of
the Oregon Central railway, sustaining
the homestead entry of Samuel Adams
for landin section II of the Vancouver,
Washington territory, land district
Adams settled on the land in 1868
and improved it to the extent that on
the date of final proof, which was filed
in 1886, it was valued at $1,000. The
Oregon Central Railroad company
claimed the land as granted them by
congress in 1871. The lands were re
restored to the public domain in 1885
when Adams filed his application fol
homestead.

leading.

THE question of a broad or narrow
gauge is being discussed in reference
to the proposed road to Clatsop. 1t
is believed that while a standard
gauge road would cost more, yet the
resultant advantages would justify
the increased expenditure. Looking
to connection with transcontinental
roads, it will be seen that a narrow
gauge is exceedingly limited. A mar
row gauge would accommodate all
local traffic, but in making connection
with rolling stock from broad gauge
road, it would be at a serious disad-
vantage. Other communities situated
almost exactly similar TO this, have
started in by building narrow gauge
roads and then, after completing a
good part of their proposed lines,
have found it necessary after all to
change everything to a broad gauge
plan to accomplish broader results.

One reason why the censors of pub
lie tastes or morals are disposed to
bear heavily upon the press Is the
habit of the press of protesting a
mission" and pluming itself upon
its influence on popular thought and
action. The sober truth is that the
mission of newspaper is to provide
the necessaries and, if possible, the
luxuries of life for those whose in
come is derived from it, and this mis-
sion centers in the business depart
ment. to which the editorial staff
must of necessity be subordinate
The income of a newspaper results
from its advertising patronage and
this, in turn, from the degree of sue
cess attained in procuring readers
which is the ultimate test of its edit
ors. All useful callings influence
public thought and action, and al
classes of workers like to think and
talk about their importance in the
body-politic. By means of associa
ton, and by segregation of their spe.
cial interests from the mass, the va
rious trades and professions are
induced and enabled to establish and
enforce standards of conduct among
their own members which tend to
preserve and increase whatsoever is
useful and good among them, and III
this way the public derives a special
benefit. The press is not lacking III
such agencies nor specially negligent
in working them to the best advan-
tage; consequently it fairly reflects
the average of public morals and

IT has been proved that since his
nomination for the vice-presidency
L. P. Morton has cut off his side
whiskers. This is serious and should
be looked into. A man who will cut
off his side whiskers is justly an OBJ
ject of suspicion. 1t is in order for
Mr.. Morton to explain why he cut off
his side whiskers. 1t is also reported
that Ben Harrison has cut some of
the lower limbs off his trees in his
front yard in indianapolis. A man
who would willfully cut the lower
limbs off a tree in his front yard is n
dangerous man, and an enemy to the
best interests of the republic. These
matters should be looked into care
fully. Candidates demanding the
suffrages of their enlightened fellow
citizens should have reasons for their
conduct, and while ordinary actions
might be overlooked, such deeds as
cutting off side whiskers and pruning
lower limbs should not be allowed to
pass by without suitable explanation.

Two young men who claimed to be en-
ployes of a well known Denver restaurant
firm were arraigned before Judge Leeyes-
terday charged with drunkenness. They
pleaded guilty and related rather an un-
usual experience. The youths stated that
they had become intoxicated in Denver
and wandering to the Union depot had
climbed to the top of a passenger coach
which formed portion of a train in the
yards. They at once fell asleep and did
not awaken until treated to a shower bath
by railway men here. That the men were
not injured is little short of a miracle.
They were very anxious to return to Den,
yer, but being without funds were locked

territory. Mr.. Altman says that the citi.
zens of Buffalo and Douglas pray night

enne & Northern. They demand a rail
way at once and prefer a line giving them
direct communication with the territorial
metropolis. Residents Of johnson coun-
ty suffer greatly from lack of transporta-
ton facilities. The production of grains
and cereals in that splendid agricultural
region is far in excess of the demand
there and an outlet positively must be Sc

PICTURESQUE AMERICA.
Third Night with Philip Phillips, the
Singing Pilgrim.

Philip Phillips. the singing pilgrim,
closed a three nights engagement at the
opera house last evening to a fair audi
ence. The illuminated dissolving scenes
were in picturesque America and British
Columbia, and were magnificent. The
gallery of distinguished American citizens
was the feature of the evenings enter
tainment and was especially fine, the col.
oring being superb. The portraits of
President Cleveland and wife were en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
While Mr.. Phillips entertainments are
unique, novel, beautiful, entertaining and
instructive, that gentleman himself is
quite an oddity. He is a deyout Chris
tan and does considerable disinterested
missionary work. He is a teetotaler and
occasionally the artist who accompanies
him throws an effective temperance SER
mon on the screen. In the course of his
lecture last evening Mr.. Phillips made a
pretty radicalstatement in this wise:
Here is a view of a Kentucky tobacco
barn. 1t has been said that the use of
the weed impairs the activity of the brain,
but 1 don't believe it, for-@
Uproarious applause in the gallery.
When the audience became quiet he con-
tinued:
For no man with brains would use to-
bacco."
And the gallery could hear the parquet
wink.
