Oregon's Lieu Lands.

Salem Statesman: A Statesman, re-
porter yesterday saw letter written
by the commissioner of the general
land Office at Washington, S. w.
Lamore TX, to State Land Agent Dav-
export from which was cleaned the
amount of land to which the state will
be entitled in lieu of sections sixteen
and thirty-six of the unsurveyed areas
contained within government forest
and mineral reserves. The commits
sioner furnished the list at the request
of Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Hermann. The showing is as follows:
In the Cascade reserve 2854 sections;
in Bull Run reserve nine sections and
in the Ashland reserve two sections;
total 2964 sections or 189, 800 acres.
This will form a tangible basis from
which Mr.. Davenport can proceed, the
next step necessary being to ascertain
where suitable land can be obtained in
lieu thereof,

A Small Burglary.

Last night the front doors of the
store of E. ]. Collins & Co. were brok-
en- open by means of a chisel, and
both tills emptied. Nothing else
in the store was disturbed, and the
amount OF money which the burglar
got away with was cents. Mr.. Collins
is careful business man, and leaves
no money in the till when he locks up
at night. At what hour the burglary
was committed could not be ascertain
ed, as it was not discovered until this
saore he hed PROPRIETOR ssRs ssa left If
money drawer full, the burglar or
burglars would have been richer and
he wiser man. AS it was nothing
was lost of any value, and the attempt
will not likely be made again.

The MuIlan Family,

The Walla Walla Union says: "Capt.
D. w. Mullan, U. S. Navy, and COM
mander of the Mohican, now anchored
at Tacoma, is in the city visiting old
friends. No doubt old settlers will re-
member that interesting family.
There were Captain John Mullan, the
builder of the Mullan road, DIR. James
Mullan, Louis Mullan the lawyer, and
Horace Mullan, an ex-captain of the
U. S. N, besides Fred and Charles
Mullan. The latter in early days used
to run sawmill. There were seven
brothers of them, but they are all dead
now, save the captain, who is in Wash
ington, and with. him is Horace, and
this gallant navy officer, D. w. Null
Ian. While writing this article he
dropped anchor in our Office, enter
tanned us with pleasant chat, for he
is man full of genuine and heartfelt
friendship. He left last night for Ia
coma, and the good wishes of many
newly made friends go with him."

Rich Gold Strike.

A report from Union says: "Last
Thursday night a large cave took
place on Sturgil bar, where Captain
Robinett was in charge of the nozzle,
and an examination showed nuggets
of all shapes and sizes. The workmen
quickly picked up sl4, 500 in gold, in
dinner pals, and many thousands OF
dollars more are actually in sight.
Everybody in this section is now look
ing for high bars and coarse gold
channels on Snake river, and the most
intense excitement prevails among the

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect COM
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testi-
monials, free.

Eastern Oregon Wheat.

Senator Mitchell has prepared for
the National Geographical Magazine,
published at Washington, D. c., an
article on Oregon, giving its history,
geography and resources. Regarding
the great wheat-producing Inland EN-
pire, the following extract is made:
SIT is estimated that there will be
shipped the present year from the city
of Pendleton, the county seat of Uma-
tilla county, located on the trans
continental railroad, 6,OO0,000 pounds
of wool; while from The Dalles, the
county seat of Wasco county, an equal
quantity will be shipped. A large
portion of the state, notably Umatilla,
Union and Baker counties, with
several others in the Eastern section,
and Coos and Curry COMMITTEES, in the
Southwestern portion, are admirably
adapted to sugar-beet culture. The
beets grown here are said to yield
larger percentage of saccharine matter
than those produced elsewhere; while
20 tons per acre is moderate estimate
of the annual CROP"

The japanese Army.

An American, who has been making
q study of the Japanese army since the
opening of war with China, says it
maintains the most rigid discipline, the
soldiers taking fierce pride in obeying
all orders to the very letter. They
march without music or banner, NOV
ing shoulder to shoulder without song
or jest or laughter, the rattling of
their equipments being the only sound
that is made. They arouse themselves
without the reveille, and they retire at
night without drum or bugle. Once
before a battle, the correspondent
heard them singing, but they were
fierce songs of war and not songs of
home. The only emotion they display
IS wild pride in their country, and
this is the feeling that carries them
into battle with impetuosity.

Big Cattle Sale.

Lakeview Examiner: A large force
of men are now busy at work gather
ing up the cattle for the Car Company
at Silver Lake. The cattle are being
purchased by Hayes and Sparks
Henry Hayes, the wholesale butcher
of Oakland, and John Sparks, the
well-known cattle man of Idaho and
Nevada-and will probably be started
on their drive eastward next week.
They are to take 5000 head all aged
cattle, and while we are not authorized
to state the price, it is long way on
top of twenty dollars.

A PIONEER.
"Reminiscences of Early Days at The
Dalles and Vicinity, When Justice
Followed Primitive Methods.

Mr.. D. B. Butler, one of the first
white settlers of Wasco county, came
in town from Dufur today. He resided
here during territorial days, and when
the limits of Wasco extended from
the Cascades to the Rocky mountains,
and from the California line on the
south to the Columbia river on the
north. Mr.. Butler was one of the
first constables in this precinct, and
his bailwick extended from the Cas-
cades on the west to Ft. Hall,
now Idaho, on the east. He
relates his experience in serving a
subpoena, issued out of a justice court
at The Dalles on man residing at the
latter place. 1t took him just month
to make his return. and it cost the de-
fendant 5000 to bring the witness to
this city. Those were ''fush" days:
but law courts were a luxury that were
not resorted to as pastime, and on ly
when other remedies failed. Shot
guns and pistols settled disputes more
frequently than civil or criminal pro-
cesses of courts. The people were
wary about taking advantages of their
neighbors in any transactions, and the
possession of property was rarely in
terfered with, for it usually meant
coffin for one or the other, with little
if any investigation by coroner's or
grand Jury.

Here Next Week.

The Eugene Register says, The Pay
ton comedy company presented at the
opera house last night the interesting
comedy, "Seth Swap" followed by q
laughable farce, "Dodging for Wife" !"
Senter Payton certainly ''swapped"
for ''Seth'' in a most admirable man
ner; and his daughter Lucy carried the
part of "Miralda" in a way that
charmed her audience; in fact, the
whole cast did well, and those who
witnessed the performance went away
well satisfied. The farce consisted of
one round of fun and ridiculous situa-
tions, and was we'll received. This
ends the Payton Comedy Company's
engagement here after run of five
nights, which have proven, from fin
ancial standpoint, to be the most lucra-
tive that has been done in the theatre
line in Eugene for long time. They
may come this way again. Should this
be the case, it is foregone conclusion
that they will be greeted by good
houses.

Notice to water Consumer.

The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use of water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of copsum-
ers SO that all may understand what
the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of these rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
will please take notice of these regu-
lations and in case of a violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and a charge of $1.O0 will be
made before again making the con-
nection. I. j. NORMAN,
Superintendent.

The Single Standard.

The Prineville Revie,o says: "One
day last week as Mrs. Perry Poindex-
ter was preparing some chickens for
the table, she discovered among. the
waste some shining substance. Upon
examination it turned out to be grain
of pure gold about half the size of
a wheat grain. The chicken had evil
IDENTIFY picked it up with some small
gravel for the purpose of pulverizing
its food. The chicken came from
ranch about II miles southeast of town.
Mr.. Poindexter informed us that a
thorough investigation has been made
of the premises, and no gold was
found, except small prospects.

Mitchell.

We understand that this town in
Crook county is enjoying boom, and
more building will be done than ever
before. A large two-story school
house, Baptist church and five dwell
ling houses are in course of construc-
tion, and other improvements are con-
templated. A water ditch, for irriga-
tion purposes, has been dug so as to
water portion of the soil in the vicin-
ity, and good results are expected.
The growth of Mitchell will be phe-
nominal this season.

Mining in Spanish Gulch in Grant
county is being carried on quite extern

Joles Bros. have good paying claims,
and are working large force of men.
They are Industrious and enterprising,
and will make mining pay if it can be
made 80 under any circumstances.
The chinese company, which has been
at work there for years, appear to
make good wages, and this season new
ground is being opened up.
