Oregon Lien Lands.

Salem, Sept. 3.-Complications
are arising in the state land depart
ment which promises to grow inter-
esting with time. A letter from
Commissioner Lamoreux, of the
United States land Office, cancelling
the claim of the state to certain
lands, was presented to lieu land
agent 7. w. Davenport today and
an explanation requested. In re-
ply Mr.. Davenport said: "The land
department is confronted with the
the task Of finding bases for lieu
lands sold by the state and decided
in 1892, or thereabouts,, and which
are also held for cancellation by the
commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington for the reason
that school sections in reservations
upon which the lieu lands were
based had been used before. IT,
seems the state has been short Of
bases and used the same more than
once" MI. Davenport was ASKED
if'he would pit himself on record
on the statement that the state land
Office has been selecting and selG6g
lands upon bases that were used
more than once. He replied: -
"That is what the land depart
ment Of the general government
says, and we have tr---->>AS ny 'hell
h.-..s. There is no doubt as to
their correctness. " Why, an ex-
register of the land Office in this
district told me that, to his know
ledge, one base, had been used five
times. There were great many
bases in the Warm Springs reserva-
ton, which is in The, Dalles land.
district. A piece of,lahd, in each Of
the other districts--Oregon City,
Rosebug, Lake View, Burns and
: La Grande, and The Dalles--can
be taken on the same base without
, immediate knowledge Of such a
, transaction by the federal Offices.
Sooner or later tits learned through
, the general land Office, but not
r until the lands have been decided
: by the state"
AS to the extent Of the duplica-
a ton of claims, the land agent said
S that had not been fully ascertained.
f As many as seven cancellations
: sometimes come in one list. The
t only remedy in sight seems to be
d the selection Of new bases In the
e Cascade reservation, but this the

Receivership For The Southern Pacific Possible.
San Francisco, Sept. 3.-The
possibility of a receivership for the
Southern Pacific Company is an in
ference from the testimony given
before the railroad commissioners
by G. L. Lansing, secretary and
controller of the company, which is
fighting a proposed reduction OF
rates. The statement was guarded
with qualifying clauses, and the
possibility was set forth in the re-
mote future. In the midst of his
financial statement, Lansing de.
clared the reduction in the net in
come for 1895 from that of 1895
was 81, ,276, 900, and to this state

TO EXCAVATE IN AWATUBI.
Interesting Discoveries May BE
Brought to Light in the Ruined
Moki CITY.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
]. Walker Fewkes, the Boston ethnoIo-
gist, has recently been sent by the Smith
sonian Institution to Northeastern Ari-
IONA to excavate Awatubi. one of the sew
en- cities of Tusayan. which was occupied
by the NIok Indians until 200 years ago,
when destroyed at the time of the great
Indian massacre of the Spanish priests.
Mr.. Fewkes several years ago led the sec

tinued the excavation of the seven. cities

The Mokis are one Of the most inter-
esting tribes of the Peublos. Tusayan,
their rocky territory in the northeastern
corner Of Arizona, lies west of the Ma
Vajo reservation. and north of the his
toric land Of Zuni. They have long been
one of the most isolated and hence most
primitive tribes of North America. The
nearest railroad station to Tusayan is

Awatubi was the largest of the seven
cities of Tusayan discovered in $40 by Co
ronado, the Spanish explorer. who pre-
viously, in the same year, first found the
seven cities of Cibola. AWatubi was in

built their square, stone houses on the
rocks that they might protect their crops

ANOTHER KOLA NIT TEST.
It Enables Sick soldier to Beat n

From dc MInneapolIs Tribune.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
American surgeons and army officers
have for some time been. experimenting
with the kola nut with view of intro
ducing it into the coumissary department
of the army. to be used in lieu OF other
food in forced marches where there is lit
tie or nothing for the soldiers TO eat. DR..
Charles +. Woodruff and Lieut.. Harris
OF the United States army, stationed At
Fort Sheridan, have this spring made
experiments which have shown that IN
forced marches the kola nut gives Gar
better satisfaction for nutritious pur-
poses than ordinary food. Both Dr
Woodruff and Lieut. Harris found that
they were less fatigued from the long
alks they took when the yate nothing
but the kola nut than when they ate
full rations of ordinary food.
An experiment with the kola nut was
made in this city to-day. and the result
was identical with that of the Fort Sher-
idan officers. A number of the army Off

turn to the Ryan at once. Private Olson
was not allowed to eat breakfast but he
was given FIVE little reddish nuts about the
size and shape of a good sized hickory
nut which he was told TO eat slowly on
the way. Further than this, he was not
allowed to eat any food while making the
