shaky and Pond Creek il still rising.

rants etc., are kept open day and night
to accommodate the demand for provis-

1t is reported from Winfield that 8
boomer was stopped near that city and
robbed of $500. What man with
that amount OF money wants to be a
boomer for, is one of things that no
man can find out.

In connection with the above n.
nouncement, / wish to say parting
word to the readers of the REGISTER.
When I took charge of the paper it
was with the full intention of making
Lola my home, and of devoting my
time to the paper and it is with much
reluctance that I change my plans.
Still We cannot control circumstances,
and every man must do the thing that
seems best. / do not go expecting or
desiring to find pleasanter location,
or more cnngenial home. The treat
ment I have received at the hands of
the people of Allen county, both per-
sonally and in a business way, has
been all and more than l could ask,
and 1 am glad to express my apprecia-
ton of it. Ny work, especially during
the last few months, has been done
under some disadvantages, chief
among which has been Ill health, and
it is largely with the hope of being
benefited in this direction, as well as
pecuniarily. that the change is made.
Remembering the kindly interest
the people of the county have always
taken in the personnel Of the.paper, it
is With peculiar satisfaction that 1 am
able to turn it over to one whom
know they will cordially welcome.
G. F. Scott comes back richer by
several months Of valuable experience

daily paper. and has received tempt
ing propositions to engage in othe1

fers to return to his ''fipst love" and

who have known him from boyhood
and from whom he has already receiv
ed so many tokens of good will. n,

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY
ANNOUNCEMENT.

The purpose of this article i
to announce to our readers that ",
have sold the CoURANT plant Il
Messrs W. W. & A. Z. Scott, who will re
welt TO Oklahoma. and the CoURANl
name, good will and subscription lis
to Mr.. G. F. Scott, who has purchased
his old paper, the Register, of which
he will assume control next week
Subscribers to the CoURANT who have
paid in advance will receive credit on
the Register subscription books for q
like amount, and delinquent sui.
scribers will be charged on the Regis.
tr's books tue amount due on the
COURANT to this date.
Why have We sold the CoURANT?
Doubtless great many Of our read.
ers will ask the above question. We
have sold it for purely business reas-
ons.
1t is Just a little over two years since
the present editors became connected
With the CoIRANT. They met many
obstacles since that time, but have
come out victorious in every instance.
IN financial way, the CouRANT has
not been what we could have wished,
bet, considering the dullness of the
times, we have little reason to com.
plain.
During the last campaign the CoUR-
ANT held the proud position of being
one of the best Tariff Reform papers
in the state, and it has ever been a
fearless exponent of the truth in all
matters, a leader of people-not a
follower.
To the newspaper fraternity, We ex.
tend our heartfelt thanks for the cour-
tesy with which we have been treated.
To our readers. we give our best
wishes and hope they have been ben
'efted little, at least, by our work.
The business men of lola, with q
few exceptions, have dealt with us
kindly and we shall take pleasure in
remembering them. To those who
are as narrow as the shoes they stand
in we shall leave in their sphere.
For Messrs W. w. & A. C. Scott, we
predict and wish unbounded success
in their new enterprise. and for Mr.. C.
T. Scott, of the lola Register, success is
assured and we ask on his behalf, that
the patrons of the CoURANT continue
in his favor the liberal patronage they
have extended to US in the past.

COUNTY NOTES.
FROM REGISTER REPORTERS,
What is Being Done Throughout the
county-Events and Gossip
of the Week.
Salem Seuteucea.

Say, Mr. Editor. do you know of anybody
that wants to buy farm Of about 400 acres.
We begin to feel that we would like to get ont
| of this country. We don't really like to give
the reason, but shall have to we suppose, as
some one will ask why one who has been in
Kansas so long and liked it so we'll should
leave. But the truth of 1t is on Wednesday
night the 3rd inst. 1t rained sulphur down In
these parts to such an extent that the pools
and ponds were lined with 1t the next morning
and some of it is around yet. We don't know
what Salem has done to need such q visitation
unless 1t 10 because 1t has been democratic SO
long. But what worries us most 10, will the
fire and sulphur come together the next time,
and we are In the condition that the cities of
the plains were in In old n tunes, If that is to
be the case we would like to sell and 60 away
where such things don't happen. We would
like to have just as little of the sulphur busi-
ness as possible in this life, as with the rest of
the newspaper men and correspondents we
shall probably get our share hereafter. So If
you know anyone that wants to buy under the
circumstances send him along
Planting corn was the order Of the day last
week. Frank Rush and L. b. Pearson planted
of advice but they planted just the same.
+. l.. Robbins will SOW lis acres Of flax this
spring. Byrum will SOW so acres, and other
farmers will SOW from 10 to so acres. So far
the spring has been very favorable for flax.
Mr.. Lower has bought lister, So far as we
can learn lister is good thing on deep soil
and where it is not too slanting or flat; Some
think on thin land it is not IS good as blowing.
All, we believe, concur that a in a dry year 1t
would be the best way, as those who have
tried it say. 1t don't dry up as it does when
planted the ordinary way.
They say the president Is tired of the Office
seekers and wants to rest at Fortress Monroe.
''Tell me ye winged winds,
That round my pathway rQam
Is there some quiet place
Some fortress far away,
Where president may find
The rest for which he signs,
Where Office seekers seldom come
And If he comes he dies?
The wild winds dwindled
To q whisper low and answered
in heaven is such place'D
A petition has been circulated In Salem SIX
ing that Alb ert Trego, NJ. D., OF this township
be appoin ted pension examiner. Everybody
here is in favor oft. The DIR. is well qualified
for the position, being a graduate of jefferson
Medical College, at Philadelphia, he also had

OREGON
Loses Vest Area OF Swamp Lands-The
Interior Departments Decides On
Basis Of Special Ezamina-
ton THAT alleged
swamp Lands Are on Dry HuIsides-Re
ports sof q Former Special Agent
Declared False and Fraudu-
lsnt-LViu Investigate.

WASHINGTON, D. O., December 29.-
The secretary OF the interior has rendered a
decision In the case Of the state Of Oregon
rs. the United States, in which is involved
about 81, 500 acres of land in the Lakeview
land district comprising what Is known as
swamp land list, No. 3.
It appears from the records that these
lands Injured to the state as swamp lands
under the act of September %, 1850, as eE-
tended by the act Of March ID, 1850. Prior
to certifcatiOns the greater part Of these
lands were sold by the state to various par
ties in large bodies. Upon the reports OF
special agents Of the department. certi6ca-
ton WIS finally made. Subsequently 1t was
reported TO the department. that the reports
of Special Agent Aukeny and State Agent
Whitaker were false and fraudulent, and
that large part of the lands described in
the reports as sWamps were really high and
dry.
An investigation was ordered and Special
Agent SheckelfOrd was directed to make q
personal examination. His report shows
that of the so, 500 acres comprising list No.
3 over 81, 600 adT6s can IN no wise be ClasSed
over 10000 acres are situated on hills or
steep mountains or sage brush deserts. This
report was dusy verified and an oral hearing
ordered IN which the state was represented
by counsel.
The secretary reviews in detail the evil
deuce and the law applicable to the case and
finds that the certihcatiOn by Secretary
Teller was procured by fraud and that had
be CTelIer) known the facts in the case as
they have since been developed the certif-
cation would never have been made. The
secretary orders the certidcation set aside,
and directs the commissioner of the general
land Office to prepare another list which
shall contain only lands known to be swamp.
AS to the other lands an investigation is
ordered and such lands in the list as are
fOun, to be not swamp, are ordered to be
restored to the public domain, subject to
any rights which may have attached to them
under the laws.
