OREGON SCHOOL LAND Assist
ant Commissioner Stone at Wash
ington has rendered a decision in
the case which involved the question
of proof III the school indemnify
selections in Oregon. The decision
reads thus: "Oregon was granted
every sixteenth and thirty sixth
section of land for school purposes.
The law also provides that, in case
any of these lands have been entered
under the public land laws prior to
the date of the grant, the state
should be entitled to indemnity
therefore and might make indem-
nifty selections from any unOccupied
public lands. In pursuance of this
the state, il appears,
selected in the aggregate a large
tract of land upon which expired
filings were on record.
The question at issue was whether
the burden of the proof of the fact
that the filings had expired rested
with the state or with the parties
who made the filings. The assistant
commissioner holds l.. favor of the
state, and has directed that in all
such cases the pre-emptor shall be
required to appear before the local
land Office within twenty days after
receipt of The notice and show cause
why the entry has not been cancel
ed, thus throwing the burden of
proof upon the entryman." 1t IS
said that there are a large number of
cases in the general land Office
which will be disposed of thus.

AN INNOCENT ABROAD.-BrO.
Besserer, of the Walla Walla Jour
nal, tells this on himself: "At the
Portland fair they had suited cow
which they MIXED (?) whenever a
person called for glass of milk,
fresh from the fountain head. The
whole thing looked so natural that
many who drank the milk, believe
to this day that the COW was genu-
inc Durham. The Journal editor
himself pressed forward to invest Il
nickel, and after drinking the milk,
right from the COW, as he supposed,
he looked at the maid, with rosy
cheeks, in sort of quisical way and
asked, what makes this milk so
cold?" "Oh" said the little viXon,
with roguish leer in her left eye,
"don't you see, the cow stands on
ice." We saw the joke ard pulled
out to make room for another
greeny, for they were quite abund-
ant, and most of them come from
the bunchgrass country.

BAD WALK.-The attention of
the street commissioner is respect
fully called to the dilapidated con-
dition of the sidewalk on the east
side of Front street, near the corner
of North street. This walk Is in a
dangerous condition and should
have been attended to months ago.
1t has become so dangerous that it
is nearly impossible Ia pass along on
that side of the street.

INSANE LADY EsCAPED-An in
sane lady at the asylum escaped
last evening. She had been en-
ployed in the dining room for some
time. She is described as a middle
aged woman, five feet four inches
in hight and weighs about 200
pounds. Up to the time of going
to press no clue to her whereabouts
can be learned. DR.. Lane is making
all possible efforts to find her, and
will probably have her located soon,
as it is not possible that she has sue
ceeded in escaping any great dis

entire crop owing to an aggravation of
the causes which produced poor har-
vest throughout the entire state. Since
that time they have been struggling to
relieve themselves from the burden of
financial embarrassment which they
then incurred, but fate has been dead
against them. During the past year the
prospects for good crop in the county
were encouraging, but devastating hail
storms of unusual violence visited the
eastern part of the county and practic-
ally laid everything waste and ruined
the harvest This disaster coming after
the previous visitation has reduced many
Of the farmers to the verge of starvation.
and, unless something is done to relieve
the distress, there will be much suffering
this winter A delegation has waited on
Governor Merriam and asked aid from
the state. The case was urgent and it
was pointed out to the governor that i'm
mediate relief was absolutely required.
