Your average cowboy is gentleman.

unfortunate comrade. An instance

Courteous and respectful they invariably

perhaps, but always sincere in their

Occasionally they relapse, but what
wonder is it? Away from civilization
for two or three months at time, it
would be strange if they did not turn

Though Scotland boasts a thousand names

Was loved and cradled here.
He lived the gentle peasant prince,
The loving cottage king,
Compared with whom the greatest lord
Is but titled thing
Tis but cot rooted in With straw,
A hovel made Of clay;
One door shuts ont the snow and storm,
One window greets the day.
And yet stand within this room,
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here beneath this lowly thatch
Loye's sweetest bard was born
Within this hallowed hut feel
Like one who clasps a shrine,
When the glad lips at last have touched
The something deemed divine.
And here the world through all the years
AS long as the day returns

placed in her hands his immense col
lection of correspondence and doc.
uments to enable her to carry out the
work of writing his biography. Miss
Dodge, cousin Of Mrs. Blaine, has
been memb Der of the Blaine family for
years, and her familiarity with the tri-
ais and triumphs of this great man and
her we'll known ability as writer, are
assurances that her biography OF the

popular books of this decade. When

taking a look over the feld of his addi-

the gentleman bas been, and is still,
manager Of the great Nampa canal and
reservoirs and several other important
and extensive enterprises. Mr.. Jones
is much pleased with the works here
and the general outlook for a successful
termination of the irrigation system i'm
augurated at this place, and doubtless
his report will canse renewal of ope-
rations which will give an impetus to
all branches of business this summer.
The benefits to be derived after the
completion of the great system cannot
now be computed. Mr.. Jones is an in
telligent and affable gentleman and his
great experience in such matters guar
antees suecess in his every movement.
Therefore it is sincerely hoped that the
new company will endorse bis sugges-
tons and commence operations imme-
diateiy. While here he ordered neces-
sary repairs TO be done at the big reser-
voir and had new gates put in at the

What it Means.

In explanation of an United States
Supreme Court decision published in
last weeks NueeEr, relating 10 the Ore
gon wagon road land grant, our old
friend D. d. Munger. Of Jordan Valley,
who has been resident of Oregon all
the years this matter has been in CON
troyersy, writes us as follows:
BY an act of Congress dated July I'd,
1864, these lands (under certain restric-
tions) were granted to the State Of Ore
gon to aid in the construction of mill
tary road from Eugene City to the east
ern boundary Of the State. It was pro-
vided that when the Governor of said
State should certify to the Secretary of
the Interior that any ten continuous
miles was completed, quantity of land,
not exceeding thirty sections, from said
grant might be sold and the same
amount for each succeeding ten miles
until the entire road was constructed.
Soon after this grant was made the State
turned this franchise over to certain
parties, who formed themselves into
company called the Oregon Central
Military Wagon Road Co.. when, in
about 1866 or 1867, party of four or
Eve men with surveyor, went over the
road and chained the route but did no
other work, to my knowledge, neither
did they tell why they measured it,only
said it was to find out how far Silver
City was from the proposed line Of a
railroad from Eugene City to the Hum
boldt river. Again, in 1870, think, a.
party of four or five men, with team,
passed up and back over the road built
by the citizens of Jordan Valley, and
said they had constructed road for an
incorporated company, although the
citizens Of this end of the route, for 200
miles or more, failed to see where they
had done any work on their mythical
road (; but the Governor of the State of
Oregon certified to the construction of
the whole road which, of course, gave
the land to the company and was
grand steal.
After this road was certified by the
Governor of the State of Oregon to the
Secretary of the Interior as being com
pleted, the Oregon Central Military
Wagon Road Co. sold the granted lands
to parties who also bought several other
similar grants of land both in Oregon
and California, and formed themselves
into company called the California
and Oregon Land Co.
So you can see there has been two
transfers of this land since it was first
ceded to the state of Oregon.
This decision does not effect the title
of settlers on this land who lived on the
land and were legally qualified home-
steaders or preemptors at the time of its
withdrawal, viz: May 2 1875, which
extends to their successors where the
law has been complied WITH
