PARKER CAN ACQUIRE TITLE.
Although He Forgot to File Notice CT
Publication.


Register O'Toole received a letter
yesterday from the general land office
notifying him that Secretary ofAthe In
terror Hoke Smith had granted Fred
f. Parker's motion for a review Of de-
partmental decisions of April 16, in
volving the south half OF the north
east quarter, section s. township IS
north, range east. and awarded the
land to Parker as against the claim of
j. d. Saunders.
The first decision was against Par
ker because he had not published pur-
chase notice at the time required by
law. Last spring Parker filed a mo-
ton for review and asked for per-
mission to obtain evidence that the
notice had been published as required
by law. Satisfactory proof was fur
nished September s. 1894. but it APP
psared that the notice had not been
fled, through neglect.
Saunders made no showing why the
application of Parker to set aside the
decision should not be granted, and as
1t appeared that the decision was rem
dered on incomplete records Secretary
Smith orders that Parker Be allowed
to purchase the land in accordance with
the provisions OF the act under which
the entry was made.
The commissioner of the general land
office, under date OF January II, 1895,
has given an Interpretation OF the act
of July a6, 1894, relating to the extern
sion of time fol-. making final payment
on prescriptions. He says that there
Is no authority to extend the time for
making final proof under the pre-emp-
ton act. II. however. the pre-emptor
has made his final proof and is unable
to make payment from any cause be-
yond his control he may then apply
for an extension of one year under the
act Of July &c. 1894.

a member of the common council of Port
Angeles, has made application to the
board Of Baptist missionaries OF Seattle.
asking that he be appointed to occupy the
pulpits OF the Baptist church OF Port
Townsend and OF this city. Mr.. Lamoreux
Is a young man "a years OF age. and his
friends In this city will be greatly sur
prised to hear OF his prediction for the
church. as in the past he has always been
considered as .'one of the boys and not
slow one. either. He is a nephew OF
oreux, of Washington City. and Is con-
sidered one of the brightest attorneys in
this city. In conversation today he said:
Il was . licensed minister eight years
ago in the state of Kansas, and the board
of Baptist missionaries of that state paid
my expenses TO college. Since that time
have fought against my inclination to
preach and have gone about as far In the
opposite direction as 1t Is possible for a
young man to so, but am tired of it and
intend TO make change in my life"
Mr.. Lamoreux has been offered pulpit
In Tacoma. but has declined. as he would
prefer to preach at first among the people
who know him. He will undoubtedly make
an excellent reputation in his new voca-
ton. He is good-looking possesses a
splendid voice, and in politics and in the
court room has always exercised a great
influence over his listeners.

Naked samoans Can't stand Our Climate
The South Sea Islanders who were on
exhibition at Madison Street park, IN this
city, last summer have been sent back to
Samca-that is, the survivors have been
returned. 1t was necessary for exhibition
purposes that they should appear nearly
naked. Like all uacivllizd people, the
Samoans are easily attacked by lung
troubles. When they Were in Seattle
nearly every member of the troupe was
coughing. In the East they suffered
greatly from the cold. and recently. after
filling an engagement at New Orleans,
they were hurried to San Francisco, where
they were put on board a steamer bound
for Apia. Since the Samoans left Seattle
five have died. and a number Of others
are In the last stages of consumption.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

F. B. Burroughs, newspaper man of Bowl
ing Green, KY, who is at the Occidental, says
that since the Breckenridge campaign last fall
there has been no such an excitement through
out the State as that caused by the recent
lynching of a man named Blair at Mount Ster-
ling and the subsequent action of the Judge OF
the Circuit Court in the district and the Gov
ernor. "Blair had been acquitted of charge
of murder" said Mr.. Burroughs, "and was serv-
ing sentence for carrying concealed weapons
when he was taken from the jail and lynched
by mob. The good standing of Blair in the
community caused feeling of horror that such
a crime should have been committed, and the
Governor promptly agreed to give any necessary
reward to discover the lynchers, and at once
offered to send the entire militia force of the
State to the scene to preserve the peace. The
Grand Jury, which investigated the case, was
charged in extremely strong language by the
Judge and urged to ferret out the murderers,
and it looks as if steps will now be taken which
will have tendency TO at least greatly reduce
lynchings in my State"
James Creelman, the newspaper correspond
ent who recently arrived in this city from
China, says that the people of that country are
great skaters, and that they are afforded ample
opportunities for enjoying the sport from the
fact that the capital and other cities are ice
bound for almost three months in the year.
They manufacture their own skates, he says
which are of a very inferior design, consisting
of q mere chunk of wood arranged to tie on
the shoe and shod with a rather broad strip Of
iron. These skates are cheap, and consequent
ly tend to make the sport general among the
poorer classes. The frozen canals afford good
highways for locomoti ton, and passengers are
carried in sledge-chairs propelled by an active
Celestial on skates.
George Evans, a farmer in the San Bernardino
district, who was in the city yesterday, saws
that the efforts of the Chino sugar factory peo-
pie to make contracts with farmers tor beets in
that locality have so far failed to meet with
success. There is feeling of inactivity in the
matter noticeable in the county, which Mr.
Evans thinks is likely to destroy an opportu-
nifty to develop what would prove to be great
industry. 'There is q very large acreage of
land down there" said he, (which is practi-
cally OF little value for other purposes, but
which, believe, could be made to pay good
money if planted with sugar beets."
T. E. Cornell, gentleman who recently
spent several days at MARVEL, the present ter
minus of the California Eastern road, or what
was formerly known as the Nevada Southern,
is at the Grand, and says that town is doing q
wonderful business, as the surrounding coun-
try is developing into q rich mining district,
and Marvel is the main supply depot.
L. W. Baird of Los Angeles, who was at the
Palace yesterday, says that large number of
Knights Templar from the southern and CEN
trail portions of the State will make q trip to

A pianoforte dealer in Manchester, England,
has hit upon an original inducement for dis
posing of his instruments upon the installment
plan. He offers, in case one of his customers
should die before the payments are completed,
to present the piano outright to the legatee
named in the will, without further remunera-
ton of any sort. The risk is not very great, for
no one would be likely to commit suicide for
the sake of presenting his wife with a new
piano, while the percentage of deaths in the
ordinary case must be small. The value of the
scheme as an advertisement is obvious.
new club, known as the Treble Club, will
give its first concert in San Francisco on Feb
ruary 10 at Metropolitan Temple. 1t is mis-
take, however, to argue from the name OF the
organization that all the members sing treble
only, for there viii be quartet in which two
altos, Mrs. Birmingham and Miss Wilcox, will
assist. The first and second trebles in the quar-
tet viii be Mrs. Noble and Miss Priest Several
society amateurs are also expected to assist at
the Treble Clubs concert.

exeels all her other stage work. A dispatch

of the tenor Gayarre.
Willard Spencer, the 'Iittle Tycoon" man,

WHAT rs EXPECTED.

The announcement that the Freeholders
are receiving advice and counsel from all
sides on the subject of charter-making will
surprise no one. The subject is one of
great interest to all classes of people. 1t
holds in our local politics the position and
the rank which the question retrench-
ment occupies at Sacramento and cur
rency reform at Washington. 1t is the
cornerstone of the whole structure of the
new San Francisco, and the public interest
displayed in every step taken toward Civ
ing it shape and form is one of the best
evidences that the people are aroused to
the importance of the subject and the
greatness of the occasion.
The Freeholders are expected to provide
for the city a system of complete home
rule and to so concentrate the management
of municipal affairs as to render the Mayor
and the Board of Supervisors responsible
to the people for every department of the
local government To effect this, while
the heads of the chief departments should
be elected by the people, the Mayor
should have the right of removal for cause
at any time, subject to supervisorial ap-
proval.
as duOIlCI DION1OlOil lOI llAAllS 1CS BOl1Sl-
bility and enabling the public to follow
Understandings the proceedings of the
city government, the charter should by
the most stringent regulations require
that all revenues for the various depart
ments shall be segregated and used only
for the departments for which the taxes
were levied. No transfer of money from
one fund to another should be permitted,
except where there may be balance left
of a fund raised for a special purpose; and
in such cases the balance should be turned
into the general fund only when the
special purpose has been completely full
filed and no further taxation is required
for it.
By observing these two principles-that
of concentrating power in the hands of
responsible officials, and that of keeping
each fund separate and distinct so that the
people may know exactly what they are
paying for the service rendered in each de-
partment--the main objects of the desire
for a new charter will be effected In
addition to these, however, careful atten-
ton must be given to authority granted
for making street improvements. This is
one of the critical features of a good char
ter. 1t should allow ample representation
for the taxpayers who are. to be charged
with the cost of improvement, and must
be so drawn as to prevent reckless extrav-
agance on street work on one hand, or
silurian obstruction to all kinds of i'm
provements on the other.
The pressing need of new charter will
lead the general mass of citizens to Judge
tho vynrIy of the Ernpho elders lnnian+lv 60
long as the great principles Of good local
government are embodied in the work
there will be little disposition to carp over
minor defects or matters of immaterial
detail. The desire now is for local self
government, and the sooner it can be had
the better will the people be satisfied.
