Cops Settlers Guide, Revised.

Henry N. Copp, the Washington
Cd. Co. land lawyer. has revised and re-
printed his Settlers Guide, the seven
teenth edition. In view of the recent
confusing legislation of Congress, this
book is an indispensable assistant for
all who are, or expect to be, interested
in public land. Settlers will save
money by purchasing it, and all who
expect to take up land any time in
the future should get posted and save
expensive mistakes. A chapter Illus
trated with numerous cuts, shows how
to tell township, section, and quarter
section corners and explains the sys-
tenn of surveys. 1t gives full informa-
ton about the homestead, presumption,
timber culture, desert land, and other
laws. The price of the book is %
cents. Address the author.
1t will tell you who is entitled to
enter land; how continuous your resi-
dence must be; what Improvements
you must make: what affidavits you
must swear to; about contests and on
what grounds they can be COM
menced; also suggestions about State
lands, stone and timber lands, mineral
lands. desert entries, saline, railroad,
coal, TOWNSHIP and other lands.

Another Reservation Opened.

A Ceur dAlene dispatch of the 9th
inst. says that peals of cannon were
heard all day. C1ur d'Alene City is
celebrating the passage OF the bill
opening the Indian reservation there.
The news transformed the quiet min
ing town into population of frenzied
home-seekers. The beautiful lake was
not frozen and was dotted with the
sails of people crossing to take up
claims. A cannon was brought up
from Fort Sherman and kept up a
continuous din all day. People are
ilocking in from all directions, buying
supplies and going out to'get claims.
The reservation contains some fine
mineral prospects, good agricultural
land, and the best timber in the State.
Rich specimens of ore have been
brought in. Real estate has doubled
in value and is still rising. Several
transfers were made by telegraph.
1.-THE hotels are crowded, and rooms
are telegraphed for. The merchants
here are wiring for goods. A large
natboat heavily loaded with supplies
carried many people across to the res
ervation. The news that the Presi-
dent signed the bill, and that procla
nation would be issued tomorrow, set
the town wild again, and hoarse cheers
reverberate. The Indians are general
ly pleased with the opening, but
trouble is feared. The military post
here can quell all disturbances. Saltese,
chief of the Ceur d'Alene Indians, re-
CARDS the opening favorably. All his
tribe concur, but the time the treaty
was made there we're only 124 Incians
in the tribe. Since then they have in
vited Indians from all the tribes to
come and settle on the reservation.
Many Sioux and Nez Perces came.
They were usually bad lot of out
casts from the other tribes. They Oc-
cupied some Of the choicest land.
They will now try and claim this, and
If they are obstinate trouble will occur.
The snow is three feet deep on the
reservation. Many OF the Indians
have come over to town tonight, and
are spending what money they have,
saying they will soon get more. Many
private messages have been sent away
to friends, telling them to come at
once"

WHISKY KILLED HIM.
A Drinking Bout That Ended ON the
Thirteenth Glass.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, March TO-
The Silver Safe saloon has again come
before the public notice. "Oyster"
Charles smiling face will be no more
seen dealing out oyster cocktails to
numerous customers. His remains
are now at the city morgue. The man
ner of his death was peculiar, being
the result of bet that he could drink
more whiskey than any other man in
Port Townsend. Larsen, which was
his proper name, was drunk all day
Monday. In the evening he entered
the Silver Safe Saloon, adjoining his
own place and took several drinks.
He challenged Joe Waddington the
keeper, to drink whiskey, betting $40
that he could drink the most. Wad-
dington refused this but it was agreed
that both men drink until one or the
other got dead-drunk, the first who at
tanned this state to pay for all the
drinks. The contest began, and a
huge quantity OF liquor was imbibed by
both men. The inquest showed that
two and half bottles of whiskey, or
half Il gallon, was drunk by the two
men, fourteen glasses being drunk by
Washington and thirteen by deceased.
After Charlie had taken his thirteenth
drink he fell upon the floor in a stupor.
He was picked up and laid in the hall
before his door, as the key could not
be found to open the room. About
two hours later Waddington and others
visited the man and found that he was
dead.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning an
inquest was held. After the jury was
empannelled an adjournment was had
to allow postmOrtem examination
being made. The autopsy showed
that the brain, lungs, liver and kid
neys of deceased were badly congested,
and clots of blood, caused by rup-
ture of blood vessel, was found on
the brain. DIR. Seavy stated that death
was caused by apoplexy, the result of
heavy drinking. In accordance with
this testimony and that of Wadding-
ton F. Farrell, the bartender and 9TH
ers, the jury brought in the following
verdict: That deceased came to his
death by reason of apoplexy, FASTENED
by the excessive use of intoxicating
liquor.
Larson was a native of Denmark,
aged 40 years, and had SO far as is
known, no relatives in this country.
The license of the resort where the
death occurred was this evening re-
voked by the City Council.

OiYNrIA, March llth, 1891.
EDITOR STANpARp:
In the last issue of the Weekly Trib-
,,ne vour correspondent noticed Il
from Miss May Syl-
Ic-tcr making what your corrcspon-
dent A. well A. many old and suh>tan
tIal citizen, ui Olympia regard As some
very wise and timely suggestions i'll
reference 10 location Of the new court
house.
Until somewhat recently, your cor
respondent had always supposed that
the beautiful vacant block on Main
between Sixth and Seventh streets had
been very wisely reserved by the
authorities specially for court house
square. when the city should become
able to build good one. Being SO
desirable situated for convenience,
safety, beauty and all other necessary ,
REQUISITE for such an important build .
ing, it certainly does seem that the /
beautiful and expensive structure pro-
posed, with corresponding fitting up
OF the grounds, would add for more
To- the adornment of that central por-
ton Of the city, and more especially to
the public good and convenience OF
the great map of the business pOpula-
ton of the county, than grand, high
faluting, fret up at big expense, play
ground for children and giddy-headed
Youngsters to prance around over to
show their latest fine clothes and talk
soft and silly love twaddle, just as all
of us old ones used to do in the old
orchards. gardens and suburban groves,
when We were young and sappy.
But there is no earthly sense, profit
or propriety, in providing these public
loaiing grounds ut the sacrifice of stern
public business necessity, convenience
and safety. The building will be
grand and imposing one. The grounds
around it would be ample and can be
made beautiful and attractive at small
expense. They will be isolated from
many of the dangers incident to a
crowded block. And now as the sub
jcct has been opened by Miss Sylves-
ter, let us have more general express
sion in some way-something that
will catch the eye or ear OF the Chair
lIltl vi tltC va SothtS SNhliiiS-
sioners. The idea of setting such a
building as that back on small piece
of an obscure block, in close.proximity
to lot of old modern buildings, more
or less dangerous, with such a beauti-
ful square as that in plain view, just
across the street and on one of the two
main thoroughfaaes and business
avenues of the city, seems preposter.
Gus. CITIZEN OBSERVER.
The STANDARD disagrees with the
writer of the above. While a good
location should be given the court
house, it should not be to the detri-
ment of the public in other respects.
We have too few holidays and too few
parks-loafng-places if you choose to
call them so. The small parks in the
cities are bright GASES in the busy cur
rent of life, and are appreciated the
more as the population grows.-ED.
