he slowly and faithfully added a little
to this in the long winter evenings.
SOMETHING valuable came to him, more
over, IN the interest which a summer
visitor to the place took in this coura

ularly a helpful agricultural paper and
put him in the way of receiving agri-
cultural experiment station reports

and tried to make use of in his work.

The Peoples party, whose existence
is a protest against the treachery. IN
competence and corruption OF the old
parties, is now fortunately in the field.
The Democratic leaders and press de-
clared in 1892 that the principles we're,
with one or two minor exceptions,
Identical with those of the Democratic
party. This is true.
No change of principle is required OF
him who would leave the Democratic
party and ally himself with that of the
People. Thousands have not done so
before because they had
HOPE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The masses of North Carolina are 80

independent coinage of silver.

had the honesty and courage to declare
for this great principle without leav-
ing room tt dodge and straddle" at
the dictation of eastern capitalists, and
I think it is the only one that will.
The Democratic party had stood for
silver, but it was not treated as an is

caused by the Farmers Alliance made

TANNING A DESERTED FARM.
BY WEBB DONNELL

Jean LerOCque took up the can of oil
he had been sent to the village store to
purchase and turned toward the door.
Francois BenOit was in his customary
seat by the stove, discussing with an

Jean Lerocque set his can of oil down

Denton and Edward Crate built the
first Catholic church here. This was
burned down in 1855. 1t was rude
structure, being built out of rough
logs, but it answered the purpose for
which it was constructed, and many a
weary immigrant, after six months
journey, fraught with danger and pri-
vation, crossing the plains between
civilization at the east and the prom
ised realm in the sunset land, found
succor at it's door.
1t is said of Father Mesplier that no
hungry man or needy immigrant fam
lily ever turned from his door empty
handed. In every respect he was a
true philanthropist, giving OF his store
to those in want, and often travelling
hundreds of miles to pilot immigrants
to the mission here, where supplies
could be had. He lived for the benefit
of his race, denied himself the luxu-
ries and comforts afforded by metro
politan life, cast his lot with the sturdy
pioneers of the frontier, continuing
his labors to extend civilization among
the Indians, the wild men of the west,
until old age forbade further activities,
and at the age of II passed over the
dark abyss between two eternities to
meet his reward in the unknown be-
yond. His was life well spent, and
his memory will long be cherished by
the many to whom he gave assistance
in the pioneer days of the Pacific
Northwest.

An Important Mining Decision.

The case of Simpkins VS.. Savage,
lately decided by the circuit court for
Josephine county, settles very i'm
portant question, viz. rights to mine
the beds and bars of Rogue river, and
its tributaries. the Applegate and H.
linois. 1t is we'll known that these
streams are rich in gold, and when the
sandbars therein are exposed by low
water, it becomes very profitable to
work them. The decision of the cir
cult court determines the title to these
sand bars. The court held that in such
streams as Rogue river, the riparian
owner takes to the thread of the river,
subject to an easement in the public to
use the stream for navigation. Mean
der lines described in the surveyors
notes or in the patent do not neces-
sarily determine the boundary of the
tract. They are run for the purpose
of defining the sinuosities of the banks
of the stream. The water is the real
boundary. A grant from the govern
ment, without reservation, of lands on
the bank of navigable stream passes
title to the unsurveyed islands lying
