taglous diseases among the immigrants

typhus-infected Russian Jews who have
wrought such CONSERVATION among the

examined esch individual on the City of

Timber Land Entries.

In the matter of government proceedings
against the alleged fraudulent timber
land entries in the states of Washing.
ton, Oregon or California, the com.
missioner-general of the land Office, with
the approval of the interior, has instituted
a change of procedure, by which parties
claiming title to these lands, will hereafter
be required to produce the original entry
men and their witnesses at the local land
Offices for further examination, with refer.
ence to any contracts or arrangements
which may have been made prior to the
entry for the conveyance of land to corpora.
tions or syndicates. 1t appears from the
records of the general land Office that large
tracts of valuable timber land in differ
ent localities have been entered on
the same day by large number
of persons, and Immediately thereafter all
the parties transferred to syndicates. 1t is
now confidently asserted by these syndi-
Gates that the government cannot prove
that the entries were originally made in
their interests. This new order IS made
with view of simplifying the procedure in

with serious accident while horse. back
riding today. Their horses becoming
frightened, dashed away at breakneck
speed, and the equestriennes were soon

cut about the head, and Miss Saunders
had her nose broken. Miss Hayes suf-
fered even more severely than her COM
panions. In falling her foot caught in
the stlrrup, and she was dragged some
distance. An unknown man, evidently
crack marksman who happened to be in
the neighborhood. saved the young lady's
life by bringing the maddened animal
down with well. directed shot from a
rifle. Miss Hayes, though her life was
saved by this fortune occurrence, was
terribly cut and bruised, and had an eye
torn from Its socket by the horses hoof.

E. R. Luckey's Disappearance,

The Eugene Guard has the following to
say about E. R. Luskey, about whom SO
much has been printed:
s.It now seems that he only drew out of
the Eugene National bank the morning he
left here, $500, of which sum he paid Geo.
B. Doris 1915. Instead of giving his wife
$500 before leaving, his wife received no
money from him, and had to borrow money
to 60 to Portland with.
"After ARRIVING in Portland last Monday,
MIR. Luckey first started for the commission
house of Stevens & Jenkins, but on the way
to that place he dropped into the wholesale
house of Chas. Kohn, and paid that gentle
man 500 which he owed; after chatting a
while with Mr.. Kohn he went to the COM
mission house and talked with those gentle
men for an hour or more about business
matters, when he went to the Hotel Per.
kins. From the best advices he left that
place about 7:30 o'clock. After that he was
seen at Fourth and L streets in East Port
land, going eastward by Newt Blair, who
pdnoCu VIC 1imc VI udy Will ului. ulo was
about o'clock P. M. Although the entire
city has been secured by detectives and
friends, nothing since has been heard of
HIM. No trains leave Portland after 1880
P. M, hence he could not have left that
night on tram. The detectives of Port.
land are of the opinion that he mas been
murdered, and his body secreted.
''Some people still advance the idea that
he skipped This seems very remote in
deed. He took no money with him, when
he could easily haYe secured thousands of
dollars from friends, for he had the conf
dence of everybody. His property was en-.
tirely unlncumbered, and is worth several
dollars more than the attachments
now made. Besides, nothing whatever of
criminal nature has appeared against him.
''The article IN yesterdays Oregonian on
Mr.. Luckey's disappearance was certainly
III advised and should have not been pub
ished. The facts are opposite to the asser.
lions therein contained" +"

| road-the "Mecca" to which all eyes south
of Kingsley are turned. This long cher
ished hope was rekindled by the county
court promising liberal amount for new
road; on the strength of which meeting
was held in Wamic to discuss the ways and
means to accomplish that result, which was
responded to by large delegation from the
five precincts of Dufur. Kingsley, Tygh,
Wamic and Oak Grove.
The meeting was called to order at 2 p.
M. in the large hall by the silvered-tongued
orator of Dufur, M. j. Anderson, who
stated the object of the gathering.
Hon. VIM. McD. Lewis was chosen chair
man and NJ. J. Anderson secretary.
On motion the meeting took recess, so
that each precinct might select a committee
man, and these to select.a route for the new
road aud to recommend to the court to ap-
point the viewers from that committee and
take the route SO selected. They reported
as follows: Dufur. L. Ginger; Kingsley, F.
G. Sexton; Wamic, Tom Driver; Oak
Grove, F. Gable; Tygh. J. n. Moad.
After much discussion it was agreed that
each precinct select man and that they
circulate paper for subscriptions and urge
the county court 10 make as large an appro-
priatlon as possible, and show the urgent
need for immediate action while the ground
is in condition.
A motion endorsing the contracting for
such a road provoked long discussion as to
how to have the work done, and was finally
left to the committee and the court.
The committee selected Is NJ. j Ander-
son, of Dufur; Robt. Kelly, of Kinsley; :
Hollansdale, of Tygh; A. E. Lake, of Wa
mic; W. McD. Lewis, of Oak Grove.
1t was stated the court wished a petition
from each precinct to appropriate their por-
tion to Tygh, and T. 81. Johnston, of Du-
fur, in short time secured the signature of
every man there to such paper and guar
anteed his precinct solid for it.
A raper was then prepared fer suhscrip-
tions and over 500 was secured in short
time, each committeeman taking copy of
the paper and guaranteeing good showing
in his precinct. 1t was also stated that the
Warm Spring Indians had promised one
hundred men for two weeks. So you see
we are sin it."
